I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 104 Make Yourself Comfortable

Li Cunxiao left happily, not because the emperor would leave him a big bowl of food, but because he could finally lead soldiers to kill people.

As a general, he can't do anything to plan and fight, but leading troops and cutting people is our Lao Li's strong point.

Although he still doesn't know exactly what happened, the instructions given to him by the emperor, Liu Muzhi and others are only to let him lead Huben and Yulin, cooperate with Liang Xiping to control the imperial army, and then take down Pingyangmen and Qianlongmen as soon as possible. The city defenses of Ximen and Yunmen.

Because Liang Xiping and others don't have much information at present, they just found a few suspicious clues from various secret reports.

First of all, starting about a year ago, the armor damage rate of Shaofu Arsenal suddenly increased by about [-]% compared to previous years.

The second is the news about a year ago. The content is that there was a horse plague in three horse farms near the capital to which the eunuch belonged. About 1000 war horses died, and more than [-] poor horses were also affected.

This was originally a badge for a servant to ask for credit for the steed order of the three horse gardens, because the three horse gardens only suffered such a small loss, and it was entirely because the three horse gardens controlled it in time.

Moreover, this horse plague did not spread in other horse gardens in the capital.

There was nothing suspicious about it.

It is normal for the plague to occur in Mayuan.

However, Liu Muzhi and the others still found clues. Liu Muzhi and the others searched through the documents about the Shaofu Horse Garden, but they couldn't find out how the febrile horses were finally disposed of.

It is also unclear how the plague was finally controlled.

It seemed to happen suddenly, and then suddenly it got under control.

It would be fine if this was a single incident, but although Liu Muzhi and others did not find out how to deal with the plague horses, they discovered that the consumption of fodder in the Shaofu Horse Garden has been a bit abnormal since then.

Not to mention, Liu Muzhi and others also found some vague clues after checking the documents in Taicang. If you don't pay attention to these traces, there is nothing wrong with them at all.

Even with the ability of Liu Muzhi and others, after careful inspection, no more specific confirmation was obtained.

There is no way that the documents and files in the North Study Room are limited to China and North Korea, and the memorials of the Outer Dynasty are all in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they can't find it here if they want to.

But even so, Liu Muzhi and others still had a rough judgment.

"From last year to now, the imperial city arsenal, Shaofu Zuoyi, eunuchs and other places, according to the calculations of the ministers, all kinds of abnormal losses have exceeded the previous year by about [-]%.

Its quantity is estimated to be [-] pairs of armored soldiers and sticks, several bows and arrows, among which there may be several large and small yellow crossbows. In addition, the imperial servants and Taicang also have fodder, and the whereabouts of money and food are unknown. The exact number is hard to estimate. "

"There is another matter. Jinyiwei reported a secret report a few months ago that a group of bandits suddenly appeared on Cuiping Mountain in Dongping County a few months ago. The number of bandits is unknown..."

Liu Muzhi clasped his hands and reported softly.

Xin Zhao pursed his lips and did not speak, watching the fat melt quickly in the already hot pan.

After a long while, he said: "Send the news to Yu Huatian, let him send someone to investigate, if you find the news, you don't need to send it here, just send it to Liang Xiping, and tell Liang Xiping to ensure that the capital is not in chaos, and he can decide on his own for the rest!
I don't care about the process, only the result! "

While speaking, there was already a sound of squeaks in the pot, Xin Zhao immediately diverted his attention, and put all his attention on it.

And turned around to call Qiao Sanniang and Su Qingyu to come over and help him.

Of course, the so-called helper means asking Su Qingyu to pass things and participate.

When the emperor said what he wanted, a small palace man next to him hurriedly took it and handed it to the queen, and then the queen passed it to the emperor in a novel and nervous way.

However, the emperor's technique is familiar, which makes people wonder if the emperor often does this kind of thing secretly in the palace, although this is unlikely.

The only thing that made everyone a little worried was that the emperor seemed to put everything in it, such as onion, ginger, garlic, and fragrant perilla leaves...

In the eyes of everyone, these things are either incense or medicinal materials. Are these things really edible?
The only thing that was relatively normal was probably the cornel, but the emperor continued to dislike it, muttering why there was no chili.

Looking at this operation, Kou Zhunren and others are all ready to wait for their loyalty.

Fortunately, the tangy aroma soon came out, and everyone's saliva immediately came down, but the emperor still looked disgusted, saying, there is no vinegar or soy sauce.

After finishing speaking, he fiercely dug out a large spoonful of what Qiao Sanniang had just sent called sauce from the clay pot, and poured it into the boiling oil pan.

The fragrance instantly became more intense.

When the sauce is ready, pour it into a ceramic bowl.

Xin Zhao put a little oil and water in the frying pan again, and then shouted loudly, "Queen, bring it here!"

Su Qingyu didn't know what to take, but it didn't matter, the little palace man next to her had already brought a bowl of well-mixed powder to her hand.

Su Qingyu saw it and knew that the main show was finally about to begin, so she quickly took it and held it to Xin Zhao.

Xin Zhao picked up a wooden spoon and poured it into the pot in a circular motion. Soon everyone found that the original white powder slurry quickly condensed in the pot, and then turned into a nephrite-like color.

Everyone was a little surprised that the food made from such a white paste was not white.

However, the color after condensation is crystal clear, really like nephrite.

"Is this the delicacy made by Jiahe? It's amazing."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised and admiring.

Especially when the surface of the powder cake is a little yellowish, the tempting aroma pervades the entire backyard instantly, and everyone can't help but be deeply attracted by the powder cake in the iron pan.

Xin Zhao couldn't help but secretly sighed.

God knows that he originally wanted to spread out a piece of vermicelli and then cut out vermicelli?

But it turned out to be a stupid and thick powder cake.

You can't make vermicelli, but put the cut noodle balls into the big pot that has already boiled the broth, and then add a little chopped mutton.

Even Xin Zhao couldn't control the tempting fragrance, and the crowd already started drooling.

Xin Zhao laughed, knocked on the pot with a wooden spoon and said, "My lords, let's have a banquet!"

Saying that the eunuch was to be dismissed was placed on a table in a water pavilion in the back garden, and then together with Su Qingyu, he personally distributed a bowl of broth noodle for each of them.

There is also a prepared sauce for one person next to it.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help feeling novelty and anticipation.

However, the emperor and empress hadn't taken their seats yet, so naturally no one dared to move.

Until Xin Zhao took the queen by the hand and sat on the table from left to right.

Afterwards, Xin Zhao waved his hand, "Everyone, please take a seat." Everyone took their seats one by one this time.

Xin Zhao glanced at everyone, just when everyone thought Xin Zhao was about to say something, Xin Zhao smiled and waved his hand again and said, "My dears, eat while it's hot!"

After all, regardless of everyone's bewilderment, he first picked up a piece of dough with chopsticks, rolled it in the sauce, and then put it in his mouth.

For a moment, Xin Zhao was almost moved to tears.

Familiar feeling, familiar taste, even if there is no chili, no sauce and vinegar, it is still so delicious.

At this moment, Xin Zhao suddenly felt enlightened.

He never knew where he was going in this world before.

Defeated the original protagonist and took away his luck?

Dominate the world?

Create immortal feats?

These seem to be necessary, but it always feels a little bit worse.

At this moment, he suddenly had a direction.

That is to change the world, let the world develop according to your own will, and become a world that makes you comfortable.

Everything else...is incidental!
