Chapter 369: All the heroes (forty-seven)

In the Qinglin Palace, Liu Jiangjie looked at Hou Dayong with tender eyes.

Hou Dayong sat on the Hu chair, and the palace maids brought the hot water up. Just as they were about to squat down, Hou Dayong waved his hand and said, "No need for you, take a small stool."

Concubine Liu Xian sat on a stool according to the rules on the boat, washing hands and rubbed Hou Dayong's feet. When Hou Dayong's soles became hot, she hugged them in her arms and carefully pointed them at the acupoints. Sometimes they were light and sometimes heavy, and her techniques were still as skillful as usual.

Although there was only one queen and four concubines in the palace, many of the low-ranking palace maids were young girls, and there were many beautiful women. Hou Dayong was a little aesthetically exhausted. At this time, the beauty was by his side and could be picked at any time. Hou Dayong no longer had a strong desire. He leaned his head on the back of the Hu Chair, enjoying Liu Jiangjie's careful care wholeheartedly.

After the massage, Liu Jiangjie was about to bend down and pour out the foot washing water as usual. Hou Dayong smiled and said, "You don't have to do these things."

A palace maid stepped out from behind the curtain, picked up the basin of water on the ground, bent over and walked out. Liu Jiangjie obviously could not adapt to the life in the palace. She thought in a little confusedly: "In the palace, if you don't do anything, how can you live this life?"

Hou Dayong had a strong observation ability. He seemed to have captured the confusion on Liu Jiangjie's face and said with a smile: "There is a hunting ground outside the city, which can run horses or hunt. But now the weather is cold and the ground is ice, so it will hurt the horse's legs. When the flowers bloom next spring, you can go to the horse farm with the queen, Yueming and the others to stay in the horse farm for a few days, and you can play whatever you want."

Liu Jiangjie didn't expect Hou Dayong to guess what he was thinking, and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, I have been in the grassland and the army for a long time. I've been idle all of a sudden, and I'm really uncomfortable."

In this era, women can call themselves "I", "I", "I", "Slave", etc. Fu Ying, Shi Gao Yueming and others all call themselves "I" at the request of Hou Dayong. Liu Jiangjie called herself "I" during the Northern Expedition, but when she thought of entering the palace, she became a little confused and humbly called herself "Slave Family".

Hou Dayong looked at Liu Jiangjie, looked up and down, and smiled, "I remember that Xiao Jie called herself on the boat, but now she became a slave? What you call me reminds me of something. Xiao Jie was a martial artist. She is still an imperial guard officer, and your name is still on the roster of the Ministry of War. If the Ministry of War finds that the officer in the tent suddenly becomes Liu Xianfei, she will definitely be stunned."

The two of them said a few casually, and Liu Jiangjie felt nervous. She asked tentatively: "Brother is the censor, why did he suddenly serve in the imperial guards and participate in the battle against Western Shu? Can he be transferred back to the court?"

Hou Dayong frowned slightly. Then he said calmly: "The jade cannot be made without polishing. Liu Jiangqing is the first group of sixteen sons of Richie to the south. It is very useful to experience more practice. This is also his voluntary joining the army. Moreover, as a sister, you have participated in the Northern Expedition, and he is the elder brother. You should not be afraid of war." After saying that, he stood up and said: "You have just entered the palace and are a little tired, so take a break soon."

Liu Jiangjie thought Hou Dayong was going to spend the night in the palace, but when she heard that he was leaving, her nervous heart relaxed, but when she saw his back disappearing from her sight, she felt quite disappointed again. She stood up, sat down again, and said to the curtain: "I want a basin of hot water." A palace maid came out of the curtain. She said to Liu Jiangjie: "Empress, I'll go now."

After leaving Liu Jiangjie's Qinglin yard and walking around the corner, Hou Dayong couldn't help but look back at Liu Jiangjie's residence and thought to himself: "Is this cruel to Liu Jiangjie? After all, she just entered the palace and maybe she didn't know what she did wrong." Thinking of this, Hou Dayong slowed down, but another voice sounded deep in his heart, "The emperor has no homework, let alone little things. The queen and the four concubines must not interfere in the government affairs. This is a matter of principle."

Due to Liu Jiangjie's meticulous and in-depth footwork massage, Hou Dayong felt a little refreshed. He walked a few steps casually in the palace. The sky was getting darker and the north wind blew the woods. Eunuch Yang was carrying a sable coat in his hand and said to Hou Dayong: "Your Majesty, it's a strong wind today. I'm prepared with my coat." Hou Dayong waved his hand and interrupted: "No, what's this wind?"

When passing Ajige's residence, Hou Dayong hesitated for a while and was about to raise his foot when he heard Hou Zonghu shouting in the room "Hey, hey". Another smell of barbecue was smelling. Hou Dayong stopped. After listening for a while, Eunuch Yang knocked on the door very quickly and said, "Your Majesty is here."

The sound in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and then a sudden sound of footsteps sounded, and a "squeak" sound was heard. The courtyard opened quickly, and seven or eight palace maids were kneeling at the door. Ajige was wearing coarse cloth clothes and had some heat on his face. Hou Zonghu stood beside him.

Hou Dayong was quite dissatisfied with the etiquette of Fansuo in the underground palace, but etiquette is an important means of determining identity. If etiquette is abandoned, the royal majesty cannot be expressed. Therefore, although Hou Dayong felt that these etiquettes were so annoying, he still did not change most of the rules in the palace. He just did not have to give a big gift to the queen, concubine and princes in formal occasions. Therefore, Ajige and Hou Zonghu did not kneel down, but bowed, even if they had done the ceremony.

Seeing that his son was still covered in a healthy and rosy face, Hou Dayong asked, "Xiaohu, what are you doing? He was sweating heavily in the cold weather." Xiaohu said happily, "I am wrestling with my mother. Today I beat my mother once."

Sumo Miche likes to fall, and they call it horn sacral. Whenever they return from hunting and get a lot of harvest, or on other important festivals, they always drink and sing. The horn sacral drama is also an indispensable entertainment program. Hou Dayong once quenched the horn sacral master twice, which won the respect of his tribe.

At this time, seeing that his son was very interested, he said, "Why did you fall with your mother? There are many guards in the palace, so you go to the drilling ground to fall with them."

Ajig's face turned red and she said, "Zong Hu is too young, so he is not the opponent of those guards. Moreover, the guards dare not fall seriously, so I will accompany him to practice."

Hou Dayong thought about it, but he didn't remember that Ajig could have an horny sacral in his memory, so he said, "You two fell again, I'll comment."

After the palace maids got up, they moved out all the Hu chairs and tea, and stood aside from afar, serving His Majesty's family.

Ajige stood on a large straw mat, which were specially prepared for Hou Zonghu. She glanced at Hou Dayong with her eyes and said to Hou Zonghu: "Little Huzi, don't blame me for falling and falling."

Hou Zonghu was eager to do so. He used the typical footwork of Sumo Man to move back and forth, looking for an opportunity to attack. Ajige ignored him and looked at him with a smile. Hou Zonghu tried several times, pounced on him, grabbed Ajige's arm with both hands, pulled him forward, and pushed forward. At the same time, his right leg quickly inserted into the opponent's crotch and exerted force.

Hou Dayong was surprised. This move was the Mongolian wrestling trick he used back then - "Dehele", and it was also the first move to defeat Qu Youngu. Hou Zonghu used it in a normal manner, but 80% of the way. However, Hou Zonghu was not strong enough, and he pulled and pushed him to the ground. Instead, Ajige reached out to touch his belt and threw him to the ground with force.

Hou Dayong applauded and said, "Good tricks." He sincerely praised Hou Zonghu. Although he lost, he only lost in age and strength. In terms of offensive spirit and hornsacral skills, he had a bit of a heroic style of Sumo and Marine.

Looking at Hou Zonghu's enthusiasm, he said again: "It's cold, so that's all for today. Don't hurt anyone. I haven't eaten yet, just eat here."

Hou Dayong was in the Hou Mansion and the palace in the south of the city. He was very pitiful when he was having dinner with Ajige. Ajige was very happy and said to the palace maid: "Go and prepare quickly, Your Majesty wants to have a meal here." Hou Dayong sniffed and said, "Where is barbecue, why do I smell the fragrance?" Ajige's face was red and he said embarrassedly: "I asked the eunuchs to slaughter a sheep and roast it in the backyard."

The roasted whole lamb from Sumo Mie is also a delicious dish with a very flavor. When Hou Dayong heard about roasting whole lamb, his appetite suddenly came and said, "I haven't eaten roasted whole lamb for a long time. Smelling this fragrance, it seems that the eunuchs in the palace are still good." Ajige said happily: "Your Majesty, this sheep is my roasted field, which is better than Kudaiji." Suddenly, Ajige reminded Ajige of their far away tribes in Changbai Mountains. However, when Hou Dayong had strict orders, Ajige suppressed his longing tightly.

The three of them arrived at the backyard. The whole sheep had been roasted golden. Hou Dayong did not expect to eat this flavor in the palace. He took a sharp knife, cut it open, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few bites. This is the authentic flavor of the ground marinara. Although it has a strong smell of mutton, it fully expresses the original flavor of the mutton.

As he ate, Hou Dayong was a little distracted again. During this period, heavy snow in the north and many information about the military camp was cut off. He asked several Sumo Mie to sneak back to Changbai Mountain. He had been walking for more than three months, but there was still no news.

Hou Dayong has been thinking about how to treat the Sumo-Muhe people for a long time. In the history he knew, the Song Dynasty once united the Jin people to attack the Liao people, and also joined forces with the Mongols to attack the Jin people. Both of these unions brought disastrous consequences. Therefore, whether it was conducive to the Sumo-Muhe people to harass the rear of the Khitans made him feel a little reluctant to make up his mind.

However, because Hou Dayong came from another world, history had changed. At this time, the Sumo-Mu-He people were still weak and did not pose a threat to the national security of the Great Zhou. It was really a good force to harass the rear of the Khitan. It would be a pity if they didn't need it.
