A bright red sunset shines on the courtyard of Dali Temple, half of the sky is blue and half of the bright red. The sunset does not have the vitality of the rising sun, nor does it have the heat of the noon sun. All its dazzling light is restrained, just the old general below, exudes only a faint and soft afterglow of the sunset.

"Crack..."

The door of the house was gently pushed open, and a young Dali Temple official walked in slowly with a food box.

"General Zhao, it's time to eat."

The young man has a handsome face, a talented person, and a smile on his face. However, when he looked at the burly old man, his eyes couldn't help but show a complex look.

"Xiao Yue, it's you again!"

Zhao Ping withdrew his gaze looking at the sunset, greeting the young man with a kind smile on his face.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to serve General Zhao, but I took this errand from my colleagues after a lot of hardships."

Xiao Yue grinned and replied with a smile.

"Haha..., you can talk."

Zhao Ping shook his head. He knew that this young man was not popular in Dali Temple. Many miscellaneous work would be ordered to be done by others. Things like calling him out would be placed on him.

The food box is opened, with two layers on top and bottom, four dishes and one soup. They are all simple home-cooked side dishes, and there is a small jar of wine next to it.

Zhao Ping's handshakes sounded and put the dishes on the table with Xiao Yue, and finally took out the wine jar, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really hard for you to get these foods for me every day."

"What does General Zhao say? These are specially arranged by Dali Temple for you, so what's so difficult?"

Xiaoyue waved her hand politely.

"Haha, Xiaoyue, don't bully me. If Dali Temple can give people these foods, I'm afraid many people will not be willing to leave."

Zhao Ping smiled and shook his head, and said, "Sit down and have some fun together?"

"No, general, use it yourself. I can't drink."

Xiao Yue's face turned red when he was called to death.

"I actually don't drink much, but now, only the heat of the wine can make me feel my blood flowing."

Zhao Ping looked at the wine jar in the glass with complicated eyes and sighed deeply.

Seeing that Zhao Ping's eyes were disappointed, Xiao Yue couldn't help but persuade: "General Zhao, don't worry too much. You will definitely be fine. People in the world have clear eyes! Your Majesty will definitely give you your innocence."

"Well, I also believe that Your Majesty will understand my loyalty."

Zhao Ping squeezed a smile on his face, and was about to pick up the chopsticks, but suddenly he found a piece of bruised on the back of Xiao Yue's hand, as if it was being beaten by a whip.

"The wound on your hand?"

"It's okay, it's okay! I accidentally fell down."

Xiaoyue hurriedly shrank his hand and said with a forced smile.

Although Zhao Ping's meridians were almost all abolished, the realm of the innate real person was thrown away, and Xiao Yue's panic in his heart could naturally not escape his senses.

"It was them who bullied you again. If it was because of giving me these foods, don't give them to me again in the future. I'm not a person who has not suffered."

Zhao Ping slowly stopped the movements in his hand and continued, "If you are criticized for your business, I will feel uneasy."

"What does General Zhao say? You have repelled the Wei army and saved so many people. What is this food?"

Xiao Yue waved his hand in a hurry. Seeing Zhao Ping's face full of concern, his eyes turned red and his voice was choked.

"As for the blame, I'm used to it, I'm very happy to do something for you."

Zhao Ping opened his mouth, and he was speechless for a while, but finally turned into a bitter smile.

"Is it worth it? Just for some food."

"Of course it's worth it. My father's hometown comes from the place where you recovered. He kept talking about returning to his hometown until his death. It was you who made his wish come true. You are our benefactor and our hero of Nanchu."

Xiaoyue replied decisively.

"hero?"

Zhao Ping murmured to himself.

"Yes, you are a hero, a real big hero!"

Xiao Yue looked at Zhao Ping's eyes shining with light, full of admiration and admiration.

"If a place needs heroes, then this place must be sad; if people need heroes, then these people must be filled with injustice."

Zhao Ping whispered slowly, almost inaudible.

Xiao Yue was stunned and finally murmured: "That's much better than having no heroes when you need them, right?"

Zhao Ping was also stunned and finally turned into a faint sigh.

What Da Chu needs is not a hero as a general, but a hero as an emperor!

*******

"Well!"

The coachman pulled the reins and jumped off the carriage with agility and opened the window.

Zhen Xiang, who had gray hair and rosy face, got off the carriage with the help of the coachman, stopped, raised his head and looked at the Dali Temple in front of him.

"It seems I haven't been here for a while?"

"The prime minister came here a year ago, when the former Minister of Revenue was imprisoned for crimes."

A middle-aged man with a feather fan and a scarf behind him bowed his hands.

"Mingyun has a good memory!"

Zhen Xiangyu praised with a smile.

"The Prime Minister is awarded a lot, and only this memory can be as good as your old eyes."

The man who asked Ming Yun replied politely, and followed Zhen Xiang's footsteps toward the gate of Dali Temple.

"See Zhen Xiang!"

A group of Dali Temple officials were already neatly arranged in front of the gate, kneeling on their knees and shouting in unison.

"Get up! It's important to do serious things, don't pay attention to these pompous occasions!"

Zhen Xiang waved his hand. Once upon a time, he also paid great attention to these things. The people who were kneeling represented their own power and their highest position.

But everything will be bored. Now he is tired of these pomp, but the people around him are still enjoying it. It is also for the sake of enjoying these that they will surround him.

"Yes! Please invite your parents."

The Dali Temple Minister leads the way, bows his body to ninety degrees, leading the way in front.

"Mr. Liu, please stay!"

The sword god Liu Suiyun followed Zhen Xiang with a stiff face, but was stopped by the man named Ming Yun.

"Dali Temple is an important place in the imperial court. Mr. No official position, so I should wait here! Moreover, there will be no danger when Zhen Xiang enters, so I will not need the protection of my husband for the time being."

Ming Yun was kind, but his attitude was very firm.

"good!"

Liu Suiyun's eyes were not at all wafty, and she turned around and headed towards an inn opposite her, ignoring the unhappy gazes behind her.

Stepping on the wooden stairs, Liu followed Yun to the door of a room upstairs with familiarity.

"Brother Lu, if an old friend comes, will he be turned away?"

"A generation of sword god has become someone else's guardian, which really disappoints Lu!"

Lu Qi's voice slowly floated from the house, and the door of the house opened automatically without wind.

"I am in the world and I can't help myself. I can't compare to Brother Lu's elegance, nor do I have the courage to kill the restlessness of the world with my sword. I can only be a villain with power."

Liu Suiyun stepped into the house, his eyes darkened as he opened his mouth.

"Since Brother Liu insisted on getting involved in this court, he should have expected this incident today."

Lu Qi sat in a wheelchair and quietly stopped in front of the windowsill.

"Why!"

Liu Suiyun walked to Lu Qi, and looked side by side with Lu Qi with his hands.

"If life could be repeated, I think I might not have gone the way I am today."

"There is never a drug to sell in the world."

Lu Qi's light interface.

"But I have wine here, so I can borrow you to get drunk."

"Haha... Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you know me the best!"

Liu Suiyunlang smiled and said, "Do you want to drink a cup together?"

"No, I also want to see why our prime minister came to Dali Temple when it was almost dark. Of course, it would be better if Brother Liu could tell me."
