Become a feudal king from today

"No wonder Zhang Kang pretended to be loyal. It turned out to be a delaying tactic. This man is indeed scheming. However, if we move the Zhang family at this time, it will inevitably alert the enemy and make the Beidi people change their plans. It is better to dig a pit and let them jump. Liu Fu has always been careful with calculations and is much calmer than Chang Wei. Zhao Xu nodded. Liu Fu and he think in the same way most of the time. "We will play with the Zhang family for another two months." Turning to Chang Wei, he said: "The emperor has allowed me to expand my personal army to 30,000 people. There are still two months left. The time for recruitment and training is enough. You should start immediately." When Chang Wei heard this, the anger on his face suddenly turned into ecstasy, "Hehe, great, I will post the notice right away. "

He clasped his fists and turned away.

Liu Fu and Zhao Xu looked at each other, both showing helpless expressions.

...

After Prince Chun left, Yan County returned to peace.

That day, Zhao Xu sat on a marble and flipped through the documents sent by Liu Fu.

Luan'er suddenly asked, "Your Highness, what is hot pot?"

"Hot pot? How do you know this?" Zhao Xu looked at Luan'er in confusion.

This girl is not like Feng'er, who can't sit still all day long and doesn't like gossip.

"I heard about it too, but I just think it's new." Luan'er said softly.

Zhao Xu nodded, "This hot pot is a new food, do you want to try it?"

"Your Highness, I want to go."

Before Luan'er could speak, Feng'er twisted her waist and came over, with a face full of coquettishness.

When Luan'er saw Feng'er coming, her eyes smiled into a crescent moon.

Zhao Xu handed the document to Feng'er, "Send it to the study, change into casual clothes, and we will travel incognito together. "

Hearing Zhao Xu say this, Feng'er almost jumped up with joy.

They are not like Zhao Xu who can often show up.

After coming to Yan County for so many days, they have never seen what Yan County really looks like.

"Yes, Your Highness." Feng'er laughed and went all the way to the study.

Zhao Xu and Luan'er returned to the bedroom. They both changed into ordinary clothes and went to the front yard.

After waiting for a while, the group went to Jinlin Pond.

The hot pot restaurant is in the most prosperous area of ​​Yancheng.

"Your Highness, the hot pot shop is in front." When they arrived at Jinlin Pond, a fragrance wafted over, and Feng'er pointed to the front.

Zhao Xu looked and saw a group of people coming to the front of the hot pot shop.

"Examiner, please come in. This is the delicacy created by our shopkeeper. It has never been seen before and will never be seen again. I guarantee that the examiner will want to eat it for the second time after eating it for the first time, and will want to eat it again after eating it for the second time..." The waiter at the door talked eloquently and boasted.

"Are there any seats left?" Zhao Xu squinted his eyes.

"Yes, it's on the third floor. Please follow me. "The waiter led Zhao Xu in.

After entering the shop, Zhao Xu looked around.

Like modern hot pot restaurants, there were many rectangular tables in the shop.

There were two or four stoves in the middle of these tables.

There were no coal balls in the stoves of the empty tables.

When someone ordered a dish, the waiter in the shop would take a coal ball from the back and put it in the stove.

Then the pot with soup was served, and someone brought up various vegetables and meats.

The rest was to start the hot pot.

Basically, except for the different heating methods.

The things in this hot pot shop are all designed according to modern times.

At this time, although the customers in the shop were sweating profusely, the satisfied expressions on their faces could not be concealed.

When passing the counter, Zhao Xu saw Xu Yuan.

At this time, Xu Yuan was dressed as a shopkeeper, looking like a real businessman.

Seeing Zhao Xu, he just raised his head slightly.

When Zhao Xu went upstairs, he told a clerk to look at the account, and then went upstairs.

"Your Highness, is this shop okay? "Xu Yuan was all smiles.

"Not bad, it looks good. How's the revenue these days?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Your Highness, it's full every day, and it's no problem to make a net profit of 300 taels of silver." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Zhao Xu nodded. This hot pot shop is definitely not comparable to his other businesses.

But it's really good to make 200 taels a day, just enough for Yanwei's expenses, after all, they don't expect to get rich from this.

"Your Highness, the Yanwei meeting place is here." Xu Yuan walked to the east wall and turned an iron ring on the wall.

With a click, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall.

Xu Yuan pushed hard, and it turned out to be a secret room inside.

At this time, Xu Ke and others were discussing something inside, and there were many unfamiliar faces inside.

"See your Highness."

Seeing Zhao Xu, everyone in the secret room stood up.

The old members of Yanwei had seen Zhao Xu, and there was no fuss.

The newcomers were obviously a little nervous. A scholar-like man murmured blankly: "Your Highness? King Yan? "

Xu Ke said to the scholar at this time: "Now you should believe it, we are your highness's people, we are not lying to you."

The scholar nodded unconsciously, then bowed to Zhao Xu, "Your highness, I am Xu Wei, willing to die for your highness."

Zhao Xu was stunned, a little confused by the excessive enthusiasm of the scholar.

Xu Ke said: "Your highness, Xu Wei is the teacher invited by the subordinate, who will be responsible for teaching the Yanwei team members to read in the future, but he has never believed that we are working for your highness."

"I see." Zhao Xu walked to the table and glanced at the unfamiliar faces, "Since you have joined the Yanwei, you must have signed a life and death agreement. Now I can officially tell you that Xu Ke is directly under my jurisdiction in Yan County, and he is also an official official of the palace. You have joined the Yanwei and will be my people in the future. "

Zhao Xu's words caused the breathing of the new members of the Flame Guard to worsen.

It feels quite different to hear it from Tsui Hark and say it from King Yan himself.

At this time, their blood seemed to be heating up, and their hearts were filled with enthusiasm.

"Your Majesty, if your Majesty is like Yan County, if your parents are too early, we will do our best to help you." Xu Wei shouted loudly.

The others nodded.

Tsui Hark looked at Xu Wei and said with a smile: "You are not a scholar, but you can talk."

Everyone laughed after hearing this. They were not mocking Xu Wei, but admired him.

After all, he was the only one in Yanwei who could read the book given by King Yan.

From this book, they learned many spying methods that they could not even imagine.

After some fuss, Zhao Xu said to Xu Hark, "It's not bad. We recruited so many people at once."

"Your Highness, although there are more than thirty people, the subordinates are not randomly selected. First of all, they have no family members and have a clean background and will not have worries. Secondly, they have received favors from His Highness in tangible and intangible ways."

Xu Wei interrupted at this time, "My parents were harmed by the Huang family. It was His Highness who gave me the opportunity to face trial. Your Highness's kindness will be unforgettable for me."

Tsui Hark continued: "Besides, before letting them join Yanwei, I asked them if they were willing to die for His Highness. They were willing and signed a life and death certificate, and then I led them here."

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this. He came to Xu Wei and patted his shoulder, "I know that you are suffering. There are many people in Yan County and Dasong who are suffering as much as you, or even worse." , and what I want to do is to save them from this suffering, and to achieve this, I and you need to walk in the darkness and bring light to them. "

"Your Highness... I remember it, little one."

Xu Wei's body trembled slightly, and the blood that had not cooled down was ignited by Zhao Xu again.

Yes, he believed what King Yan said was true, because this is what King Yan did after he came to Yan County.

What's more important is that King Yan made him understand the meaning of joining Yanwei - to benefit more people.

Not only Zhang Wei, but also other new members also showed relief at this moment.

Seeing this, Xu Hark sighed: "His Highness is still the most powerful. I am trying to coax them with my words, but it is not as good as His Highness's words."

"Don't be discouraged, just keep working hard." Zhao Xu chuckled twice, and then said: "What were you discussing just now?"

"The official is talking about disguise." Tsui Hark picked up a writing brush and then picked up the rouge box.

After a pause, he said: "Your Highness's book contains many disguise techniques."

Zhao Xu nodded. He collected a lot of knowledge and put it in this book.

There are many superb makeup techniques in it, such as some contemporary film and television makeup techniques, including how to make some of the makeup props, such as wigs and eyelashes.

"Also, the official is also setting up surveillance points." After speaking, Tsui Hark spread out a drawing.

Zhao Xu looked at it and saw that this was a drawing of the Yancheng area. There are many points marked on the drawing.

These European points are what Tsui Hark calls monitoring points.

On the drawing, the points near Tianxiang Tower and Zhangjia are relatively dense.

Other points are scattered throughout Yancheng.

In addition, there are also such points in the countryside near the wealthy Uburg.

Of course, Wu Bao of the Zhang family was also given special attention.

Seeing that Xu Hark did it well, Zhao Xu felt relieved.

He said: "Not bad, it looks good. Okay, you go about your business. I'm going to eat hot pot."

Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Ke were delighted when Zhao Xu praised him, "Yanwei's hot pot will not disappoint His Highness."

"Okay, I'm going to have a feast today." Zhao Xu and Xu Yuan left the secret room.

Arriving outside the room, Xu Yuan turned around and the secret room was closed again.

At this time, Zhao Xu and Xu Yuan once again restored the superficial relationship between host and guest.

Xu Yuan went downstairs, and Zhao Xu went to his box.

"Your Highness, this slave is going to starve to death." Seeing Zhao Xu, Feng'er puffed out her cheeks and pouted.

"Don't worry, I have something for you to eat." Zhao Xu said.

After a while, mutton, duck intestines, venison, etc. were served, with some sauce.

"Let's eat." Zhao Xu ordered after all the dishes were served.

He, Feng'er and Luan'er share a pot, and the rest of the pots belong to the guards.

After picking up the vegetables, Zhao Xu started to rinse them naturally, and everyone followed suit.

Feng'er asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, have you ever eaten hot pot before?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head, "What did the shopkeeper teach you just now? How does it taste?"

Luan'er chewed a piece of venison with enjoyment, "This way of eating it tastes very special."

The group of people were talking and laughing when suddenly a group of people passed by the door of the box.

The woman in white, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, stopped and said softly: "No wonder His Highness ignores the slave family. It turns out that he is accompanied by a beauty."

When the woman's voice fell, Feng'er and Luan'er raised their heads at the same time and cast their eyes on the woman, their eyes full of hostility.

"Well, they are indeed my beauties."

Through the steaming heat of the hot pot, Zhao Xu saw Xu E standing at the door, surrounded by fat and thin girls, all of whom were girls from Tianxiang Tower.

But he never fell into Xu E's trap, so when he heard what she said, he put his arms around the two of them, looking lustful.

Zhao Xu was intimate with the two of them in front of everyone. Luan'er was excited but shy, lowering her head and smiling with her chopsticks in her mouth.

Feng'er held her head high and her chest high, looking proud. She glanced at Xu E, deliberately buried her head in Zhao Xu's chest, pretending to be cute, and cooed, "Your Highness, who is she?"

Xu E's face turned cold.

I had nothing to do today, so the sisters in Tianxianglou proposed to try this newly opened hotpot.

She couldn't resist the coaxing and came.

Unexpectedly, when I went upstairs and passed by, I saw King Yan and two women talking and laughing.

She wanted to pretend not to see it, but her heart suddenly felt sour and she couldn't help but speak out.

She didn't expect King Yan to treat her like nothing. What's even more disgusting is that the little goblin next to King Yan made it clear that he deliberately made her angry.

But how could she, Xu E, lose to them.

At that moment, the coldness on her face dissipated, and a charming charm emerged.

She walked into the room calmly, looking at Feng'er and Luan'er as nothing.

After pouring a glass of wine, she walked behind Zhao Xu.

He leaned over and lowered his head, his jade-like arms wrapped around Zhao Xu's neck and handed the wine to Zhao Xu's mouth.

"Your Highness, last time Yuan Zhoumu wanted to inspect Tianxiang Tower, thank you for blocking the slave family. The slave family has always wanted to invite your highness to the slave family to thank you in person, but we are afraid that your highness is busy. We meet by chance today, so why not thank you with this glass of wine."
