MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 417 417 Xu Yan's thoughts

   Lin Xiaoyue frowned instantly.

  Come on, the follower is here, don't even think about doing anything...

   "Sir, I saw people in your yard just now, going to the kitchen to get food, and I knew you were up!" The sixth princess said as she entered the room.

   Immediately, he hurried to Lin Xiaoyue's table.

   was familiar again, pulled out the stool, and sat down beside Lin Xiaoyue.

   Zhao Shanshan looked a little embarrassed when she saw this.

   This one is really...

  Lin Xiaoyue was helpless, "Go on." She said to Zhao Shanshan.

   "Yes." Zhao Shanshan then left.

  As soon as Zhao Shanshan left, the sixth princess became even more reckless.

   "Sir, the National Teacher is going to deal with the peace talks with Chu Jin today, and the mansion has nothing to do with us. How about I take you out of the palace for a walk?" He smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

   After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Xiaoyue's meal.

   "What's so delicious? I'll take Mr. Ruyi Building to eat!" He said.

   Hearing the name of Ruyi Building, Lin Xiaoyue's heart moved.

   It seems that the Ruyi Building of the Liang family has really become a signboard.

   "I don't want to go." But Lin Xiaoyue refused.

   After she arrived in Kyoto, she participated in the assessment without much rest, and then she was preparing to compete with Chu Jin.

   Yesterday finally ended, but I was drunk.

   Today is free, she just wants to live in peace and live in the yard for a day, she doesn't want to go out for a walk.

  Especially, the food in Ruyilou is not new to her.

   When she was in Qingshi Town, she would occasionally go there.

   Really wanted to eat something delicious, so she made it herself, guessing it would taste better.

   The sixth princess didn't get annoyed after hearing this, but held Lin Xiaoyue's arm with a smile.

   "Then, have another barbecue banquet? I'm so greedy..." As she said that, she shook Lin Xiaoyue's arm.

   made Lin Xiaoyue a little helpless.

   "Not interested." So Lin Xiaoyue dropped a sentence.

   There are too many things to prepare for a barbecue party, which is troublesome.

   "Then, let's have a hot pot feast? The hot pot last time was delicious too!" said the sixth princess again.

   Lin Xiaoyue's heart moved, but this time she was not in a hurry to refuse.

   Because of her mouth, she was also a little greedy.

   And hot pot is much easier to prepare than barbecue.

   Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue did not speak, the sixth princess' eyes lit up.

   "Then have a hot pot feast, and I'll prepare the ingredients!" Immediately said.

   Seeing that the sixth princess was about to leave, Lin Xiaoyue quickly spoke up.

"and many more."

   The six princesses stopped.

   "I'll make a list, you can buy the materials. Once you've bought it, let's deal with it together." Lin Xiaoyue said.

  Some meat dishes have to be marinated in advance. If she doesn't intervene, this hot pot feast will not be good.

   "Okay!" The Sixth Princess's eyes were full of brilliance.

   Lin Xiaoyue was about to get up to write the list when she suddenly stopped.

   "I'll read, you write." Then he said.

  The sixth princess knew what was going on, but just smiled and glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, then went to the side to get the pen and ink.

  Lin Xiaoyue:——

   Then, not long after, the sixth princess got the purchase order.

After   , he left happily.

  Lin Xiaoyue finally got peace and continued to eat.

   After a few mouthfuls, I lost my appetite when I thought of the taste of hot pot.

  Haha, let’s keep some stomach…

   At this time, the Ministry of Rites.

  Liu Wuji led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and finally reached a peace agreement with Chu Jin.

  Liu Wuji was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Yan.

   "The business is over, Brother Liu doesn't want to catch up with me?" Xu Yan smiled.

   Liu Wuji was taken aback.

   "Please—" Immediately, he made a "please" gesture to Xu Yan.

   "Haha." Xu Yan smiled and then went out.

After   , he and Liu Wuji went to the National Teacher's Mansion.

   National Teacher's Office Study.

   "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there is such a remote place in Dayan's palace." All the way in, he saw the elegant scenery of the bamboo garden, and Xu Yan said.

   "Brother Xu laughed. Please take a seat." Liu Wuji replied.

  Xu Yan was not polite, went to the chair and sat down.

   The servant brought tea, and Xu Yan also tasted the tea at ease.

   is just a line of sight, still looking at Liu Wuji's study from time to time, there is a look of envy in his eyes.

  Liu Wuji saw this and thought it was a bit interesting, so he didn't say much.

   When the servant who delivered the tea went out, Xu Yan finally put down the tea cup in his hand.

   "That, Madam Li, is really Brother Liu's disciple?" Suddenly, Xu Yan asked Liu Wuji.

  Liu Wuji's relaxed complexion just now tightened a little.

   "Brother Xu, what do you mean by this?" Chong Xu Yan asked.

  Xu Yan looked at Liu Wuji, then smiled.

   "That girl, she looks like Lingshu...really." Xu Yan said, as if thinking of an old friend.

  Liu Wuji's heart trembled instantly.

   "At that time, Lingshu gave birth to a daughter." Then, he heard Xu Yan say.

   Liu Wuji looked at Xu Yan, his expression finally no longer indifferent.

   "What do you want?" he asked.

   Seeing Liu Wuji's nervous expression, Xu Yan was slightly surprised, and then smiled again.

   "Sure enough, only when you encounter something related to the spiritual pivot can you lose your normality."

  Liu Wuji didn't answer, but his face was already a little bad.

  Xu Yan saw this and said again with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

   Seeing Liu Wuji looking at him, Xu Yancai continued, "Just as an old friend, I want to remind Brother Liu of something."

  Liu Wuji frowned.

   "What's the matter?" Shen Sheng asked.

   "Back then, Brother Liu's daughter, Linglong—"

  Liu Wuji suddenly looked at Xu Yan, his eyes narrowed slightly.

   He actually knew Linglong?

  Xu Yan still smiled softly.

   "The Zhang family had an accident and the whereabouts of Linglong's niece was unknown. After that, Brother Liu worked hard for more than ten years, but he didn't succeed."

   "Brother Liu never suspected that something was wrong with the Zhang family?"

   "Also, is there someone who deliberately cut off Brother Liu's clue to find Linglong's niece?"

   A dangerous look flashed in Liu Wuji's eyes.

  Xu Yan smiled again when he saw this.

   "Hehe, sure enough. Brother Liu is so talented, how could he not find it? I just don't want to believe it." Then he said with a sigh.

   "Unfortunately, the girl Xiaoyue appeared." The words had spread, and Xu Yan no longer called Mrs. Lin Xiaoyue Li, but became the girl Xiaoyue.

   "Just because of her looks and talent, but whoever has seen Lingshu, who can't see their relationship?"

   "I can see it, and that one can also—"

   As soon as these words came out, Liu Wuji's expression turned solemn.

   "The matter of the Zhang family and Linglong is already a lesson from the past. Brother Liu, do you still want to wait passively this time?" Xu Yan looked at Liu Wuji again.

   Liu Wuji's pupils shrank.

   "What do you want to say?" asked again.

  Xu Yan smiled.

   "This time the Three Kingdoms peace talks, although Liu brother and Xiaoyue girl came forward and lowered the conditions of the peace talks by 30%, the winners are still Chu and Jin."

   "After this winter, everything will recover. Between the three kingdoms, there will continue to be wars sooner or later."

  Liu Wuji frowned.

   This point, he actually had doubts for a long time, but only doubts.

   After all, the peace talks have just ended, even if Chu Jin wants to start another war, it will not be so soon.

   But Xu Yan actually said that after the next spring, the war may come back. Between Chu and Jin, an agreement must have been reached.

   Is it worth it to exchange so much food and cities for the peace of a winter?

   Looking at Liu Wuji's expression, Xu Yan continued: "Emperor Yan is incompetent and stubborn. After hitting him against the Nangong family, this result should have been expected."

   "The building is about to collapse. Brother Liu wants to return to the sky with one person. It's too difficult."

  Xu Yan sighed.

   "Earlier, Xu lived in seclusion in the mountains. Although Emperor Jin invited him many times, he did not respond."

   "First, I didn't want to go out and meet Brother Liu."

   Then, a helpless smile appeared on Xu Yan's face.

   "Although I don't want to admit it, I know that Xu is still lacking compared to Brother Liu."

   "Secondly, the time is too late."

"Everyone knows that Dayan has two great weapons to protect the country. First, the general Wang Nangong fought and led the Chiwu army, and he has never lost. Second, Liu Wuji, your national teacher, has no legacy and unparalleled strategy. "

   "Emperor Yan is sitting on these two great national protection artifacts. One country of Dayan can reach the two countries of Chu and Jin."

   "Unfortunately..." Xu Yan's eyes were filled with sighs.

   "Unfortunately, the Nangong family was slaughtered by Emperor Yan, and the Chiwu army also fled the border."

   "And Brother Liu—"

   "With Brother Liu's intelligence, if you don't believe it, would you not know who was the one who attacked the Zhang family and caused Linglong to be left out?"

   Liu Wuji's heart sank.

  Yes, he knew.

  Although I haven’t checked it, I have to confirm it. But the evidence points to that one - Emperor Yan.

   Afterwards, he remembered that in fact, Emperor Yan had a foreboding before attacking the Zhang family.

  The emperor knew about his relationship with Linglong, so he started to attack the Zhang family, and wanted to cut off this relationship and maintain the reputation of the National Teacher's House.

   After all, the national teachers of Dayan in all dynasties have never married and have no children to inherit.

After   , he went out to look for Linglong, in fact, he also intended to escape from the palace and Emperor Yan.

   does not want to choose between monarch and subject and hatred.

   But he did not expect that after he left, the emperor became suspicious of the Nangong family.

   was even used by Chu Jin to design a pit to kill Nangong Zhan and slaughter the Nangong family.

   Today's Dayan, with internal and external troubles, is indeed in danger.

   "Brother Liu, the current situation is like this, you are the only one who can turn the tide." Xu Yan said again.

   "Emperor Jin is a worthy corporal, and has the style of a wise master. If Brother Liu is willing to serve Emperor Jin, in the future, he can also protect Linglong and Xiaoyue girl, and they are safe..."

   Liu Wuji instantly looked at Xu Yan.

   then sneered.

   "Hmph, dignified Xu Yan, actually came to be a lobbyist."

  Xu Yan's face was embarrassed for a moment.

   Then, he smiled.

   "If you can persuade Brother Liu to switch to Emperor Jin, what's the harm in Xu Yan being a lobbyist?"

   "Brother Liu doesn't have to rush to reply to this matter. Brother Liu is famous in the world. Whenever you come to vote, Jin will open the door to Brother Liu." Xu Yan added.

   successfully attracted Liu Wuji's complexion to turn blue.

   The state of Jin would of course accept him at any time.

   Before the state of Yan was defeated, if he surrendered to Jin, the state of Yan would surely perish.

  After the defeat of the State of Yan, he would join Jin again. At that time, all his national teachers had surrendered. What would the people of Dayan do?

   "But... Brother Liu's Linglong and Xiaoyue girl, you may not be able to wait..." Xu Yan suddenly said again.

   With a sound of "snack—", Liu Wuji finally made his move, smashing the coffee table beside him with one palm.

When   Xu Yan saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  I haven't seen you for more than ten years. This old thing has seen an increase in internal strength.

   "Seeing off the guest——" Then, Xu Yan heard Liu Wuji's indifferent voice.

   Immediately, people came in from outside the door.

  Xu Yan glanced at Liu Wuji, smiled, and then got up.

   Then, after straightening his clothes, he left with the servant in a happy mood.

Before   , Liu Wuji, together with his granddaughter, caused him to lose face in front of the world. Today, he finally regained a city.

  What does it mean to lose the battle of arithmetic? The battle of the world is won, and it is the final winner.

   Wait until Xu Yan leaves.

  Liu Wuji sat on the chair for a long time without moving.

   Xu Yan came over this time, calling it a solicitation, but it was actually a humiliation.

  This hypocrite is really getting smaller and smaller.

   However, he came here this time to let him know something.

  Xu Yan was so clear about the affairs of the Zhang family and Linglong back then, maybe not only the affairs of the Nangong family, but also the affairs of the Zhang family, and his handwriting was behind it.

  If there was no one to guide and encourage, with the character of the emperor back then, he would not have done these things.

  Xu Yan said that he only recently came out to help Emperor Jin.

   But the real situation, this person is afraid that he has already hooked up with the Jin royal family.

   and has helped Emperor Jin, planning for many years.

  Otherwise, Jin State would not have gradually surpassed Chu State from the last strength of the Three Kingdoms, or even approached Dayan.

   Decades of planning, I can really hold my breath...

  Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Liu Wuji's eyes.

   It's not that easy to destroy him and Dayan...

   At this moment, Liu Wuji's heart went back and forth, and his thoughts were endless.

   When there was a knock at the door, it was already an hour later when he returned to his senses.

   "Come in." Liu Wuji looked towards the door and said solemnly.

The door was pushed open and Liang Chengcai walked in.

   Liang Chengcai was shocked when he saw that the coffee table beside Liu Wuji was broken.

   "Master—Master." Liang Chengcai stammered as the smile on his face disappeared.

  Liu Wuji glanced at the coffee table beside him and did not explain.

   "What's the matter?" Chong Liang Chengcai asked.

  Liang Chengcai came back to his senses.

   told about Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Gonggong hosting a hot pot banquet.

   "The front hall is almost ready, Chengcai has come to invite Master to have dinner together."

  Liu Wuji looked at Liang Chengcai and got up from the chair.

   "Let's go." He said.

   Then, without waiting for Liang Chengcai, he walked straight to the door.

  Liang Chengcai glanced at the broken coffee table again, didn't dare to think about it, turned around and followed Liu Wuji.

   The gloom on Liu Wuji's face disappeared when he went out.

   Then, as if he had figured out something, a smile appeared on his face.

When    came to the front hall, there was already a smile on Liu Wuji's face.

   "Master National Teacher, sit down!" The Sixth Princess greeted warmly.

  Lin Xiaoyue also smiled and looked at Liu Wuji.

   "Yeah." Liu Wuji responded, walked over and sat down.

   took a look at the exquisite food on the table and felt a great appetite.

   "This table of dishes was prepared by this princess and her husband. Master Guo Shi has eaten it, and you can comment on it later." Sixth Princess said.

   After he finished speaking, he looked at Liang Chengcai, who came after him, and Mo Fei on the opposite side.

   "Mr. Liang and Mr. Mo too."
