"Come on, Governor, the crystal shrimp dumplings here are very authentic. The river shrimps are all transported from the southern fish and rice town. Try them, it's rare. It's just a bite..."

In front of a table beside the window on the second floor of the teahouse, Liu Ce and Gao Mi sat against each other. On the table were two plates of shrimp dumplings and a bowl of mutton soup noodles in front of each. Gao Mi politely invited Liu Ce to have a meal, then picked up a shrimp dumpling, dipped it in red vinegar with garlic, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Liu Ce smiled slightly, picked up the crystal shrimp dumplings and ate them slowly. The taste was as pure as Gaomi said.

When Liu Ce was about to drink mutton soup noodles, Gao Mi stopped him and said with a smile: "Mr. Military Governor is here. I have a good thing here. Adding it into the inner room can make the soup more delicious."

As he said that, Gao Mi took a small bag from his waist, then took out a small handful of it from inside and sprinkled it into his bowl, and handed it to Liu Ce and said, "This spice is a good thing. We call it pepper powder from Nanyang Hubang. This small bag can be exchanged for a lamb. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it..."

"Pepper?" Liu Ce was secretly shocked when he heard this, and then said to Gao Mi with a normal expression, "This is indeed a good thing. This military governor has a good reputation..."

After saying that, I didn't politely open the bag. It was indeed the smell of pepper that I had heard in my previous life. I grabbed a handful and poured some into my bowl, then pulled the pepper bag back to Gaomi.

"Thank you, thank you for your blessing in commander Gao..."

After Liu Ce thanked Gao Mi, he stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks and stopped eating them with big stutters.

"Um……"

Gao Mi looked at Liu Ce's noodles, nodded with satisfaction, murmured softly, and nodded in mind, and started to eat.

After a long time, after the two of them had breakfast, the shop guy removed the plate and cleaned the table, and brought the prepared tea.

"Mr. Governor, please..."

"Director Gao, please..."

The two of them saluted each other at the same time, and sipped each other lightly together...

After drinking tea, Gaomi looked at the gradually lively crowds on the streets outside the window, sighed, and said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, what do you think of this capital?"

When Liu Ce heard this, he also looked out the window. When he was young, he said, "It is said that Gods are prosperous and the world are the most prosperous. This is true. Yesterday, the Japanese military governor entered the city and was impressed by the prosperity of this city..."

Gao Mi nodded and sighed, "Yes, the capital is important, how can the emperor be compared with other places? Unfortunately, this prosperity does not belong to these people on the street. Those who can truly enjoy all this are the noble nobles of the world. They can even dominate the fate of this largest city in the world..."

Liu Ce frowned slightly. He had met Gao Mi on the street since he was just now. To be honest, he didn't have a bad impression of him. His expression was very different from the important warlords who wanted to rebel...

Just as Liu Ce was thinking, Gao Mi suddenly spoke, "Mr. Military Governor, you must have heard of those rumors about the original governor, right?"

Liu Ce immediately replied: "I have heard of it if I don't hide it from the faction of the government, and the city, there are certainly remarks that are not good for the government...."

"The Military Supervisor is not artificial, and his answer is refreshing..." Gao Mi revealed his admiration for Liu Ce in his tone, "So, do you think the general will really make a transcendent move as rumored?"

Liu Ce replied lightly: "Commander Gao, I will see you for the first time today, and I will not make any guesses about you just because of a meal. No matter whether this military governor says yes or not, it will inevitably make you feel pretentious about me.

However, the pride that President Gao showed in the street well just now really made me admire him."

Gao Mi smiled and said, "What a former military governor, who speaks happily. He is worthy of being a young hero who has fought with Hu Nu. He is much more honest than the Marquis of Zhenliang!"

"Tong Gao has been praised, I am the military governor who is just telling the truth..." Liu Ce said with a chuckling with a chuckling.

Gao Mi sighed and said, "Actually, Bentuo never thought about doing this. Instead, the court's people who claim to be important officials are trying every means to force Bentuo to do this..."

Liu Ce was stunned when he heard this and looked at Gao Mi, but saw the resolute face of the veteran, who was only 50 years old, with a hint of invisible loneliness.

"Tong Gao, you..."

For a moment, Liu Ce didn't know what to say. After all, the water in the court was too muddy. If what Gaomi said was true, it means that the person who secretly spreads rumors must have another intention and wanted to use this to gain huge benefits for himself.

However, Liu Ce had no time to pursue these things. After all, he was just a guest soldier. After the affairs in the capital were processed, he would go back to the Far East. As for when he would come back and what attitude he would return here depends on his future luck...

Gao Mi seemed to see Liu Ce's thoughts and doubts, got up and took out two taels of silver and threw it on the table, and said to Liu Ce with a smile: "Mr. Military Governor, don't think too much. Why do people in the court have this rumor? Today, I will let you know that it is a great pleasure to gather with young heroes like Military Governor today. Military Governor, see you again in the palace at noon..."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Ce to return the gift, he turned around and walked towards the stairs on the second floor.

"At least for now, this right-wing military guard commander is still worthy of admiration. Maybe there is really something hidden in it that I don't know. It seems that this grand ceremony of enthronement and reward is not peaceful. I have to make a complete plan..."

Looking at Gao Mi leaving, Liu Ce began to think about the plan that would be in Shendu for several days in his mind.

...

At the beginning of the Chen Shi, outside the city of Shendu and outside the main gate, Yuan Muhao and other envoys were looking forward to it, as if waiting for someone to arrive. At the same time, when they looked at the nearly 100,000 troops stationed several miles away, a strange look appeared in their eyes...

Only one of the envoys said: "I really didn't expect that the Great Zhou Dynasty would have such a powerful army that could quell the civil strife in such a short time. It seems that the requests we made against the Emperor of the Great Zhou this time we went to Beijing will not be fully accepted..."

Another envoy said: "However, we must find ways to complete the tasks assigned by the monarch, otherwise we will explain them when we go back. If the monarch gets angry, he will probably be severely punished..."

An envoy with three braids on his forehead said disdainfully: "Isn't it just to eliminate some thieves and rebels? As for scaring you like this? We cannot give in to the conditions proposed by the Zhou State, and even let them make more concessions. Otherwise, my Daxia Iron Cavalry will set up a military camp on the border and go straight to Yongzhou to see if they surrender..."

Yuan Muhao looked at the army stationed opposite him, listened to the arguments of his followers for a long time, and suddenly said: "Have you heard that? In order to reward the contributions made by this army, the Emperor of Great Zhou actually allowed them to indulge in the Shendu City for three days. The wealthy people's property and the watery girls belong to them..."

When the envoys behind him heard this, they nodded in one of them. One of the Xia people with iron rings hanging on their ears and noses said with a vulgar face: "I really didn't expect that the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom would be so generous and would be willing to contribute his capital to the soldiers for sharing. I was shocked when I heard this news. Is this the tolerance and generosity of the emperors in the Central Plains..."

The tone of the envoy of the Xia Kingdom was full of disdain and contempt, and at the same time it also had a strong desire.

Yuan Muhao snorted coldly and said, "It seems that the emperor of Zhou is becoming more and more stupid this time, and he doesn't even care about his own people. For nothing, that's good. The more stupid the emperor of Zhou is, the more beneficial it will be to our Daxia.

One day in the future, we will also let the Emperor of Zhou allow the warriors of our Xia Kingdom to cheer and indulge in this city, and believe that this day will not be too far away..."

While Yuan Muhao was talking to his subordinates, hundreds of people slowly appeared in the distance, slowly approaching the Shendu City...

"Here you..."

When Yuan Muhao saw the flag of the team, his face suddenly became bright. Then he and his subordinates tidied up his Hu clothes and rode his horse to meet the team.

The flag of hundreds of people had a big word "Li". Under the flag, there were two young men who were less than 30 years old, elegant and handsome, and elegant, were the son-in-law Li Suwen of the dynasty, and the Marquis of Zhenliang. The other was the lieutenant of the Palace Army, and Li Suwen's father, Li Ji.

I saw Li Ji looking at the camp outside the city, and then said to Li Suwen: "Son, this time I went back to Beijing to report my work. I hope you and the princess will be closer to you. Don't look at the girl from the Jiang family all day long. Oh, to be honest,

Dad should really object to your return to Beijing at this time, because he is afraid that you will do something extraordinary when you see that girl. After all, he will soon become someone else's wife..."

Li Suwen said with a blank expression: "Father is worried too much. The relationship between Jiang Ruoyan and me has ended. How can I be resentful about my children's affair..."

When Li Ji heard this, he looked at Li Suwen's expression and was still full of disbelief. But now he could only persuade him with kind words: "Wen'er, Dad knows you are suffering, but you should also think about it for my Li family. Don't offend Liu Ce at this critical moment. After all, he has just made great achievements and is deeply favored by the emperor..."

"Father, you don't have to say too much, your child has his own sense..."

Li Suwen came back casually and said to his father, still looking calm, just silently staring at Yuan Muhao and others who were coming to him.

As soon as Yuan Muhao approached Li Suwen's men, he and the envoy behind him immediately bowed to him with one hand on his chest, and then said with a little dissatisfaction: "Marquis Zhenliang, you really made us wait. Do you know what happened in the capital yesterday?

My man was actually bombarded by a group of soldiers of unknown origin in the inn. One of my subordinates was even seriously injured and is still lying in the clinic. What should you do about this matter..."

When Li Suwen and Li Ji heard this, they all frowned. Now there are still people in the Shendu City who dare to commit crimes against "friendly countries"? This is unexpected.

After careful inquiry, Li Suwen immediately understood that it was probably done by Liu Ce's subordinates. Now, only Liu Ce has the courage to do this in the entire Jingjin area.

Li Suwen had already seen Liu Ce's power with his own eyes when he was in the Far East, and that guy didn't even look at the envoy of Mengluo.
