After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23]

Night falls.

Jiang Suizhou was busy in the Ministry of Rites for a while, and did not return to the palace until it was completely dark.

He didn’t forget about Xu Du, so he went to Xu Du’s courtyard as soon as he returned to the house.

Because he didn’t know about the meeting in advance, Gu Changjun didn’t come – this is exactly what Jiang Suizhou didn’t know about the meeting. He needed to talk to Xu Du and Xu Du privately for some things.

Xu Du’s courtyard had just prepared dinner at this time. Seeing Jiang Suizhou coming, Xu Du was very calm. He asked the waitresses to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then screened them all out.

The people stepped back, leaving only the two of them.

Xu Du’s residence was quite quiet, the bamboo shadows swayed outside the window, and the fragrance of ink lingered in the room. There was also a game of chess on the table in front of the window, with an unsolved chess game on top.

Jiang Suizhou sat down at the table, looked at Xu Du, and saw Xu Du smiled faintly.

“The Lord actually knows that there are affairs to be handed over to the subordinates on the fifteenth of every month.” He said. “My subordinates are not as smart as Chang Yun, and I’m still thinking about how to meet you if the lord doesn’t know.”

He put it bluntly, clearly putting Jiang Suizhou’s identity on the table.

Jiang Suizhou is also different from his falseness and condescension. Relying on the lack of audio and video equipment in ancient times, he bluntly said: “There are many books in the study, I can get a clue or two from them, and I know that I have something to do with you today.”

Xu Du was stunned . , It seems that he did not expect him to be so straightforward.

“My subordinates have only seen this kind of talk of soul grabbing in the book since childhood, but I didn’t expect this speculation to be true.” He said slowly.

Jiang Suizhou smiled lightly: “I don’t want to come either, it’s a coincidence, there’s really no way.”

Xu Du laughed.

“It’s interesting, seeing this anecdote is not worth a visit to the world,” he said.

He acted very open-minded and natural, Jiang Suizhou looked at him for a moment, and said, “So, I still don’t know, what is your plan.”

Xu Du heard the words and asked, “Which plan did the Lord say? Jiang Suizhou said, ”

You already knew that although I became King Jing, I wasn’t him. You are his subordinates, and naturally you have your own goals. Now I know that Gu Changjun’s family is being coerced, so what about you?”

Xu Du A bit of surprise appeared on his face.

“Master even found out about this?” he asked.

Jiang Suizhou looked at him quietly.

After a while, Xu Du laughed and nodded.

“Changyun is indeed because of this. His parents died early, and he lived with his grandmother and younger sister. At that time, the Lord took a fancy to him, but he did not want to be involved in the disputes in the court, so the Lord used some means.” He said. “But I didn’t expect that you are so smart, you can even see it.”

“What about you?” Jiang Suizhou asked him.

Xu Du paused, looked up at him, his eyes were clear.

“My subordinates are from a business background and have no way to enter an official position.” He said. “However, he is determined to be in the society, and his lifelong goals are nothing more than fame and fortune.”

Jiang Suizhou knew that Jing Chao had just completed the imperial examinations, and he had extremely strict requirements on the background of those who entered the office. Within the five uniforms, as long as there are merchants, opera singers, and prostitutes, they cannot participate in the scientific examination.

Jiang Suizhou paused, then asked, “So, you are under the command of King Jing?”

Xu Du laughed a few times.

“A certain name is unknown, and now, apart from His Royal Highness King Jing, who is in a difficult situation, he can’t find any other way.” He said.

“Furthermore, although a certain seeks fame and fortune, he is not unscrupulous. If he joins the sect of Pang Shao, wouldn’t he have to do something that will endure forever?”

He said frankly.

Jiang Suizhou believed him 80% when he saw his state. He pondered for a moment and asked, “So, what is the money given to you on the 15th of every month?”

He knew very well that whether a person’s words were credible or not depends on what he did.

Whether Xu Du is honest with him or not depends on these important matters.

He looked at Xu Du quietly, and saw him turn around, went to the dark compartment on the bookshelf, took out an account book, returned to the table, and handed it to Jiang Suizhou.

“My lord has saved money in recent years and raised a group of dead men,” he said. “There are not many, there are about ten in total. Because the dead need to be trained for many years before they can be used with confidence, the Lord will find his subordinates and entrust the matter of raising and training the dead to his subordinates.”

Jiang Suizhou was a little surprised, he took the account quietly on his face, and looked at it carefully.

The serial number and cost of each dead person are clearly remembered, with the date, and there is a large book in detail every month.

Jiang Suizhou paused and said: “So, you always go out every month to play, and you always go to the street to buy pen and paper, but I never let you report?”

Xu Du smiled and nodded: “My lord is really smart.”

Jiang Suizhou Jingjing read the account book again, Xu Du waited by the side, and did not rush him. After a long time, Jiang Suizhou put down the account book, took out the money he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Xu Du according to the amount on the account book.

This is to tell him with actions that he trusts him.

Xu Du smiled and stretched out his hand and took the silver note.

“You did an excellent job.” Jiang Suizhou said. “There are still a lot of places that can be of use to you in the future.”

Xu Du smiled lightly: “As your lord tells you.”

Jiang Suizhou paused, then looked up at him: “But, have you ever thought about it, what about in the future?”

Xu Du Without words, he tilted his head and motioned for him to continue.

Jiang Suizhou spoke slowly.

“The rise and fall is the law of nature,” he said. “If all your vigor is exhausted and the sun is rising, how will you get the fame and fortune you want?”

Xu Du heard the words and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, he laughed, and the laughter was clear and clean.

“Everyone in the world believes that it is a foregone conclusion that the two dynasties, the North and the South, will govern by dividing the river, and it will last for a hundred years – this situation, even if there is still Huo Wujiu in the Beiliang, can not be changed, why does the Lord think that the prosperity of the South is exhausted What?”

Jiang Suizhou asked back, “Why was Huo Wujiu captured?”

Xu Du replied, “When the army entered the enemy alone, the reinforcements were cut off.”

Jiang Suizhou continued, “Then what about the Nanjing court now?”

Xu Duton After a pause, he smiled and said, “Your Majesty said, Huo’s defeat is the result of the horse’s failure, and the retreat of Jingzhi is the foundation of corruption?”

Jiang Suizhou did not say anything, and Quan Zuo acquiesced.

After the two faced each other silently for a moment, Xu Du stood up and gave Jiang Suizhou a deep salute.

“In a dilemma, the subordinates had no hope, but let’s see, every step is a last resort.” He said. “But now, it’s a blessing for my subordinates to meet the Ming master. Presumably the future will be the master’s plan, and the subordinates will obey the orders and be your right-hand man.”

Jiang Suizhou paused and was speechless for a while.

Xu Du started talking to him, and he was willing to believe him, of course it was good. But the hat Xu Du put on him was too high, which made him feel a little unsure for a while.

What’s the future like, what are his plans?

He just knew that in the near future, they would be taken over by Huo Wu Jiu. ——It was quiet in the An Yin Hall

. After dinner time, the master never came back.

Meng Qianshan turned around in a hurry, and every time he turned around, he secretly glanced at Huo Wu Jiu.

He saw Huo Wu Jiu sitting at the table quietly reading a book. But I don’t know if it was Meng Qianshan’s illusion. He always felt that, after half an hour, the book in the Hof people’s hand hadn’t turned a page.

Meng Qianshan had already sent someone to ask.

After a while, a servant trotted back all the way, entered the main house, and ran to Meng Qianshan out of breath.

“Go back to Eunuch Qianshan, the lord went to Madam Xu’s room,” he said. “The maid from Madam Xu’s courtyard came to report, saying that the lord didn’t give any orders in advance, so he went straight to the house just now.”

Ouch! How good is this!

The servant was reporting in the room, and the Hof people sat next to him and could hear it clearly. This time, Meng Qianshan wanted to make up a lie to coax the Hof people over, but he couldn’t do it.

He quickly waved his hand and drove the boy out.

When the servant left, Meng Qianshan had a smile on his face, he walked to Huo Wu Jiu’s side and told the maid next to him, “Why are you so blind? . . ”

He swallowed the words behind him.

I saw the Hof man sitting there putting down the book, without raising his eyes, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a chopstick of cold green vegetables.

He ate alone.

Meng Qianshan felt a little strange for a while.

It’s like… It’s not just the servants in the room who are waiting for the prince to come back for dinner. This Hoff man who usually ignores the prince is actually waiting to have dinner with the prince.

At this time, the Hof people were obviously… not very happy.

If this was the case, Meng Qianshan knew that the bell had to be tied to the bell. The air pressure of the Hof people is a little low at the moment, and it is not something that their slaves can handle. Only when the prince returns from the meal, he will go to coax the ancestor in person.

Thinking like this, Meng Qianshan waited tremblingly for Huo Wu Jiu and finished his meal.

Unexpectedly, after the meal was over, the prince never came back.

Until a long time later… Mrs. Xu’s maid came.

”

Eunuch Qianshan, the prince is resting at Madam Xu’s place today,” the maid said.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Suizhou: Surprise!
