Chu Li was still wearing the armor that he had never taken off this day, and a knife was placed on his waist. However, when he entered the small study, the eunuch who bridalized the pen smiled and accepted it.

Chu Li didn't say much, but just frowned. Eunuch Bingbi glanced at him, but didn't say anything, but it was obvious that the smile on the latter's mouth became a little lighter.

Yuanqing's No. 1 General? Eunuch Bingbi snorted coldly in his heart.

When I arrived at this small study, I was not the final decision.

So what if I am a "spoiled" eunuch?

The emperor was still handling the memorials on the seat that belonged to him, and he didn't even see Chu Li down the steps.

Chu Li had no intention of being angry, so he stood there straight, without moving, staring at the pile of memorials on the table.

After the mountain-like memorial was processed, the emperor sighed and looked up and "suddenly" to see Chu Li, as if he was a little surprised. He quickly stood up and said loudly: "General Chu, long time no see! This spirit is good."

Chu Li nodded slightly, without saying anything. But he spoke first, "I wonder what the Lord is looking for me?"

The emperor obviously ignored it. He circumvented the topic, shook his head, and said lightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm summoning you today just talks about family matters."

Chu Li faced the emperor's eyes and said, "Since that's the case, I will retreat first. There are still a lot of matters to be handled on the other side of Chengguan." As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Eunuch Bingbi saw it, squinted his eyes and prepared to step forward to stop him.

But the emperor took the lead and took a step forward. He grabbed Chu Li. The latter wanted to exert force, but suddenly he thought of something and let the emperor hold him back.

"General Chu finally came here, why did he leave so quickly and sit down and have a cup of tea?" the emperor said lightly.

Chu Li sighed in his heart, and had to turn around and sit on the ground.

The emperor and the eunuch Bingbi looked at each other, and the latter understood and brought the tea set that had been a bit old.

"Your Majesty, I'll leave first." The old eunuch smiled and left the small study room.

From beginning to end, he did not mention Chu Li's mistakes before leaving.

When the emperor saw the eunuch Bingbi leaving, he patted Chu Li on the shoulder, smiled helplessly, and said softly: "General Chu, don't care, he has such a temper."

Chu Li said "um" softly, and there was no expression.

"I heard that General Chu did his best all day at the city gate, and he had never even removed his armor for a moment." The emperor paused and continued, "It is indeed a blessing for our country."

Chu Li raised his hands, clasped his fists and said, "I dare not take it, your Majesty is still wise." As he said, he paused for a moment, and then said, "Everything is for Yuanqing."

"Yes, everything is for Yuan Qing." The emperor repeated Chu Li's words and murmured.

"General Chu, I have learned some news here, but I don't know whether to say it or not." The emperor looked at Chu Li, as if he was hesitant.

After hearing this, Chu Li turned his mind: "The emperor can just say something clearly."

"Okay, I learned today that the teacher from Nanchen has appeared again a few years ago." After saying that, the emperor looked directly at Chu Li.

Moving seems to be about to see all your thoughts.

After hearing this, Chu Li did not panic in his eyes. He just lowered his head slightly, gently picked up the small teacup in front of him, and then took a sip, concealing his expression well. Then, Chu Li said in a deep voice: "Can the emperor tell me?"

"Oh? General Chu's injury has recovered?" The emperor looked suspicious and said softly: "They all say that General Chu's strength is no longer as strong as before."

After hearing this, Chu Li laughed a few times for the first time. While laughing, he took off his armor.

The emperor was shocked when he saw it.

I saw that Chu Li’s chest was covered with white bones, and the bones were clearly visible.

If Chu Li hadn't worn thick armor, others would have never believed that General Chu Li's chest looked like this.

The emperor trembled slightly, "Chu...General Chu, you...is this?"

Chu Li slowly put on his armor, tidied up his armor a little, and said calmly: "After that battle, this is what I looked like on my chest."

"What do you think of those who practice martial arts?" Chu Li didn't care.

"I just want to show the emperor." Chu Li suddenly slowed down.

"Please speak, General."

"If it's for Yuan Qing, what if my whole body is covered with bones?"

The emperor remained silent, but there were a few birds singing outside the study.

Chu Li turned around, smiled bitterly, and then said, "If the emperor trusts me, I still want to continue leading troops to fight."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am relieved to see the general's appearance."

"From today, how about I promise you the position of Minister of War?"

Chu Li shook his head and shouted, "No need." He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty just give me some soldiers. Isn't this what you want to see?" After that, he strode away.

I happened to meet eunuch Bingbi was still at the door. After seeing Chu Li go out, eunuch Bingbi smiled and said suddenly: "General Chu, how much strength does it have now?"

Chu Li snorted coldly and replied, "I am a thief if I am old but I am not dead."

"The roads in the world are far away, but the roads are long when it gets dark." The eunuch Bingbi is not willing to be outdone.

The two passed by each other.

After a stick of incense, the eunuch Bingbi spit out a mouthful of blood. Chu Li covered his chest and his face turned pale.

Eunuch Bingbi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and then entered the small study room.

The emperor was sitting on a chair, writing quickly. When he saw the eunuch Bingbi coming, he asked without raising his head, "How was the test?"

The old eunuch nodded and said "Yes", his voice slightly dry.

"Oh? Can you have the strength to fight that old man?" The emperor stopped and looked at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch's facial expression was a little bitter, and he hesitated and said, "It's not easy to say. The old slave just now fought with him and did not lose his temper."

"Oh? You're still him?"

"Of course it's him."

"How can you not be at a disadvantage? What about fighting to the death?" The emperor was obviously more concerned about this issue.

The old eunuch finally smiled at this time and said in a deep voice: "Fight to the death? Then he is definitely not like this now. The old slave feels that he may have difficulty breathing when he is sitting on the ground at this moment."

The emperor continued: "I have also promised him the position of Minister of War."

Eunuch Bingbi didn't seem particularly shocked, he said, "I think he refused."

The emperor nodded and said nothing.

"Then do you still have to continue telling Chu Li?" Eunuch Bingbi tentatively said.

"No need, wait a little longer." The emperor picked up his pen again and added: "He is more anxious than us."

"The Emperor is wise."

"You are not good at flattering."

"What the emperor said is very much."

“…”

At this moment, in a mansion in the capital, the old flower farmer had the leisure to practice swords in the yard.

Every move is very good.

Banxia was holding a plate of fruit and watching the old flower farmer dance with his sword.

When you see the wonderful part, Banxia will secretly cover her mouth and laugh.

Of course, the old flower farmer dances with swords... the scene is unimaginable.

I don't know why the little girl laughed.

The old flower farmer only practiced the sword for a while and was sweating profusely. He shouted at Banxia: "Little Banxia, ​​look at my sword technique?"

Banxia nodded suddenly.

"I don't like others flattering me. What do you think is good?"

"I can't say anything else... I just think the master's sword dancing has momentum!" Banxia said with a smile.

"You can teach me." The old flower farmer smiled honestly.

"By the way, Banxia, ​​are you still used to living in the mansion?" The old flower farmer said casually.

"It's okay, sir." Ban Xia replied softly.

"I still call you Master? I don't like to listen." The old flower farmer said angrily.

Banxia nodded, as if she agreed.

"Master, I want to say..." Banxia happened to ask Ouyang Geng some things.

Ouyang Geng turned his head and stared at the little girl. The latter turned red, lowered his head and said, "Madam, let you..."

"What do you want me to do? Xiao Banxia, ​​you have to change your temperament. You have to speak more neatly."

"Madam asked you... to buy some vegetables." Banxia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.

Although Banxia didn't know how old the master was, she saw so many servants in the mansion. She must have known that the master's family is not bad, so she was a little hesitant whether to tell the master.

How can the head of the family go out to buy vegetables?
