Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 71 Liu Li's True Identity

The day was not long, and after another meal was provided at noon, the four of them began to prepare dinner as Dian Wei and Guo Jia went down to the office.

After a busy day, Guo Jia, as the accountant, started to sort out today's expenses; Dian Wei was in charge of cleaning and chores, and after a while, Liu Li came to help after changing clothes.

"It seems that I still need someone to help wash the dishes..." Wang Yong muttered while washing the dishes.

In the past, when the business was not very good, I just washed the dishes when I was idle and bored.Now that the passenger flow has started to increase, the workload has increased a lot, but Dian Wei only came here after he left the office in the afternoon, which was obviously not enough.

When choosing candidates, they would first think of Chen Ji and Fang Xin who came to interview earlier. Liu Li's ability is good, and the other two should not be far behind.Then there is Wenqin, the grandson of the old fisherman Wenshang, but unfortunately he is only five years old.

It was late at night, Wang Yong had practiced his basic skills, and went to look at the crops in the yard as usual.

"Damn it!" After a brief inspection, it was found that insect holes had appeared on the crops, and many leaves had traces of being bitten by insects.After searching carefully, he grabbed a locust and trampled it to death!

This is an adult locust, not small in size, it should have flown from somewhere else.This is very bad. One means more. Thinking about it carefully, Wang Yong seems to have remembered that there seems to be a plague of locusts in the past two years in history!

I don't know which year it is. After all, when are there no locusts?Fortunately, it was not difficult for him to understand, so he went directly to the second floor, went outside Guo Jia's room, and knocked on the door.

"Feng Xiao, are you asleep?" Wang Yong couldn't help asking when he heard the movement inside.

"Not yet... Shopkeeper... What's the matter?" Guo Jia's voice came out, and it seemed that he didn't intend to open the door.This is not surprising, a man knocking on a girl's door at night, this picture will definitely make people imagine.

Just listening to Guo Jia's reply, it's not difficult to hear that she is really flustered at the moment.

"Are the locusts in Yanzhou very active recently, and there are even faint signs of locust plagues." Wang Yong asked directly, so as not to keep this little girl in fear.

"What about the locusts..." Guo Jia's tone returned to normal when he heard the words, and he felt a sense of relief, "Recently, the locust activities in various counties have become active, and it may really form a locust plague. My lord, I have also begun to worry about this in the past two days. worry."

"Is there a solution?" Wang Yong continued to ask.

"It's nothing more than organizing the people to catch them, or dispatching the army to catch them. But on the one hand, the folks have a tradition of worshiping the locust god, thinking that locusts are a disaster from the heavens, so it is not good to directly intervene.

If the army is dispatched, one must also beware of Lu Bu's sudden attack. The key is the lack of funds and rations earlier, so it is not easy to do it easily... Now it seems that the army is being mobilized, and Man Cheng and Zhong De have already begun to arrange it! "Guo Jia replied slowly.

"Indeed, those who were short of money and food before were really not easy to act." Wang Yong nodded, and many things seemed to be explainable.For example, why did Cao Cao have to come over to recruit himself after he refused because of a recipe.In the case of insufficient military rations, it is easy to have problems in the previous period.

It's just that this kind of enlistment is based on emergency, in other words, if the crisis disappears, and I don't live up to it, and I don't get her approval, then I may still be 'fired'.In the final analysis, this is a feudal society. Whether the monarch needs a person or not, a verbal "promise" is actually completely meaningless!
Fortunately, I suddenly realized this, but with my current performance, even if Cao Cao would be a little dissatisfied, he probably wouldn't dismiss him casually in the end!Wang Yong weighed it and warned himself silently.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, go to bed early!" Wang Yong, who already knew the situation, naturally wouldn't disturb Guo Jia's rest, said goodbye, and returned to the room.

"Oh, oh..." Guo Jia responded subconsciously, and then he was a little puzzled: Is that all?
I have heard many stories about Xiangyan knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but this time it seems to happen to her, but the ending of the story is like this, which is completely different from what I have heard before.

"Perhaps, the shop owner is a really good person!" Guo Jia told himself, after all, you can't think that you don't have the charm to attract men, right?The shopkeeper also knows his physical condition, and he doesn't intend to force himself...

It's just that this night, for her, is destined to be a sleepless night!
At the same time, Wang Yong, who returned to the room, took his clothes to wash, and then went back to the room to rest.Not long after he fell asleep, the door of Liu Li's room opened, and she came out with a change of clothes, looked carefully, and then went to wash up.

"When will I be able to appear in front of everyone as a woman?" Liu Li sighed.

Immediately, she fell into memories: since childhood, she was raised by her grandmother. At the age of 12, he was called to his father's side.My father has always been in poor health. He is only in his 30s and his body is already very weak.Since she ascended the throne at the age of ten, she has only two children under her knees, one is her elder brother and the other is her.At that time, her name was Liu Xie!

"Xie'er, are you here?" When he came to his father's bedroom, Liu Hong, who was the Ling Emperor, looked at Liu Xie.

"My ministers see my father!" Liu Xie came to Liu Hong and saluted solemnly.

"There is no need to be so cautious between you and me." Looking at his daughter's cautious appearance, Liu Hong felt a little heartbroken. Because of his physical problems, he couldn't take care of him himself, so he had to entrust his mother to take care of her. It's been a good few years.

After a pause, he continued: "I called you here this time, but there is one thing I need to tell you! From the past, I begged my mother to let you appear in front of people as a man. I hope you will also appear as a man in the future." Identity appears!"

"Why?" Liu Xie has always wanted to ask this question. She only realized a few years ago that she is actually a girl, but why did she pretend to be a boy since she was a child?

"Because there are some people with ulterior motives in the court. They hope that your brother can succeed to the throne. You are a daughter. According to tradition, you should be the successor... I am worried that they will take action against you!" Liu Hong replied.

"But, can't my brother succeed?" Liu Xie still didn't understand why, especially since his father succeeded as a man.

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been male successors, but only men of the ancient type have this opportunity. Your brother is not a man of the ancient type. If the big man lets him succeed, I am afraid that he will eventually become a puppet of some people with a heart. "Liu Hong shook his head, then took a deep breath, and continued, "And you are a woman. According to the habit, you are the most qualified to succeed. But the problem is, no one wants to see you succeed. It's your mother, Empress He!"

"Why?" Liu Xie, who was still young at the time, couldn't figure out why his mother would harm him.

"It's very simple!" Liu Hong was a little embarrassed, "Because she is not your biological mother, you were born to me and a woman from the Wang family. You were born, but you knew of your existence and poisoned the Wang family. In order to avoid You were also poisoned, so I sent you to Empress Dowager Dong to be raised, and declared that you are a man, which made you grow up healthy until now."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong coughed violently, but after a while, he suppressed the cough forcefully.

"Some people hope to push your elder brother to the top, and then become her puppet, and even use this to change the dynasty, it is possible! And according to my understanding, there seems to be a group of people secretly, hoping to support you to the top, even if you are a man! This group of people is more dangerous and more hidden, and they seem to be planning a huge plan!" Liu Hong slowly recalled that if he hadn't found this result of the investigation, he might have pushed Liu Xie to the top at all costs.

For this reason, he also established the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan, which is to give Liu Xieneng military power.But not now, knowing that a huge conspiracy was slowly brewing, he decided to take a risk, for his daughter, and the Wang family whom he owed!

"I have arranged fifty cronies, and I will send you out later. Kong Rong in Qingzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou are all truly loyal subjects. You can go to one of them, and then reveal your identity and ask them to help you." You. If you don’t even think they can be trusted... just hide your name, live a good life as an ordinary person, and then find a man you can absolutely trust and marry. Come to think of it, no one can think that you are actually a woman! "Liu Hong smiled lightly. The layout back then, unexpectedly, became a glimmer of life.

"Father, I won't leave! I can't bear to part with you!" Liu Xie's brain couldn't react at the time, but he instinctively didn't want to leave his father, just like chicks, they knew very well that they couldn't survive independently, and instinctively sought the protection of their parents.

"Let's go!" Liu Hong shook his head and clapped his hands. Immediately, more than 50 people took Liu Xie away with packages.

The time went back about a month, and fifty followers were hunted down by the strange man in black, and the last guard, in order to cover her escape, was also sacrificed.Fortunately, Liu Xie jumped into the river and escaped smoothly.In the end, he almost fell due to lack of physical strength.Fortunately, he was rescued by a family and settled down.

In fact, the family did not have good intentions. They had a son. To the surprise of the couple, the rescued Liu Xie was a woman.So he planned to raise her as a child bride!
However, their son was an upright man named Xu Huang, who was only eight years old at the time and already understood the word benevolence and righteousness.Taking advantage of others' danger, he couldn't do it.

So he secretly sent Liu Xie away, but the moment he returned home, he found a group of men in black and burned his house down.Vaguely, he saw his parents lying in the room, with blood flowing all over the floor.

At that time, he wanted to kill all those men in black, but he didn't want to be suppressed by Liu Xie who turned back to see the situation.After that day, Xu Huang became Liu Xie's adopted brother and followed Liu Xie to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian.

When I came to Xuzhou, I planned to seek refuge with Tao Qian, but unexpectedly, Xu Huang recognized a person among Tao Qian's guests. Tao Qian has a good relationship.

It seems that it is obviously impossible to rely on Tao Qian, and Kong Rong may not believe it.So the two stayed in Pengcheng, Liu Xie became the doorman, and Xu Huang helped to do some handyman to earn some money, and at the same time it was convenient to monitor the man in black nearby.According to many days of observation, there seems to be some relationship between the man in black and the house of masters.

I'm afraid they never imagined that the person they were looking for actually became a doorman in Wanshiwu!
This year, Xu Huang seized an opportunity to attack and kill the drunk man in black. He planned to continue to torture the people behind the scenes, but he didn't want the man in black to commit suicide directly. The clues were interrupted here.

In order to avoid the matter from being exposed, the two decided to leave after negotiating, and the follow-up matter was just like this.

"Otherwise, it's not bad to live like this for the rest of my life..." Liu Li finished his meditation, then went back to bed, and fell asleep slowly.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for reward/investment, ask for book list!
