Of course, as Carefree, who didn't know anything, he would not only have to face a bumpy road and treacherous enemies in the future, but also his beloved lover and friends who were eager to help him.
Carefree was a loner by nature, but he had a heart that longed for the care of his friends. It was this heart that made Carefree not go astray, overcome many difficulties, and finally be free and happy in the world.
He went too far again.
Yang Guang was a little angry when he heard that person's words. He had always liked the absolute obedience of his officials. He hated those self-righteous and self-righteous officials the most. They put on a loyal and patriotic face all day long, making people hate them.
"Wu Jianzhang, Lord Wu!" Yang Guang said sternly. Do you want to disobey my orders?"
"I dare not! But…"
"There's no need to say more. Zhen sees that my beloved minister is old and shouldn't drink too much. It's better to go home early.”Yang Guang waved his hand. Wu Jianzhang left his seat angrily and turned to go downstairs.
Wu Jianzhang?
Carefree thought about the famous historical figures of the Sui Dynasty, and he suddenly shivered-Wu Yunzhao's father, Wu Jianzhang!
Oh my god, this is not good. I accidentally offended such a high-ranking official. Carefree's heart started to mutter. Although his opinion of Yang Guang had changed a lot because of Liu Yue Mei's incident, now that Yang Guang had made such an enemy for Carefree, Carefree's future would be even more difficult.
As he thought about it, Carefree finished the wine in his glass.
No!
Carefree suddenly sprung up from his seat. He had discovered a very serious problem!
Logically speaking, Wu Jianzhang should have been killed by Yang Guang before Yang Guang ascended the throne. Later on, there was an imperial edict to kill more than 300 members of Wu Jianzhang's family. Only a horsekeeper named Wu Bao escaped, and Wu Bao later fled to Nanyang City to find Wu Yunzhao. But now that Yang Guang had come to Yangzhou, the Sui Dynasty should be on the verge of destruction, but why was that old man still alive? Could it be that a great upheaval had already occurred in history?
"Xiaoyao, why are you so panicked?”Yang Guang saw Carefree's panicked expression and cold sweat on his face. He closed his eyes and thought hard. He couldn't help but ask," Did you find anything wrong?"”
After Yang Guang's question, Carefree finally came back to his senses. When he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then he looked at himself and found that his body had left his seat and retreated to the window.
Carefree quickly knelt down and lied," I just thought of a very scary story, so I lost my mind and couldn't help but do something indecent." Disturbing the emperor, Xiaoyao deserves ten thousand deaths!”
Then, he heard Yang Guang's intimidating laughter.
"What kind of story is it? My dear minister, why don't you tell me and have a drink?”
Therefore, Carefree made up a ridiculous story about ghosts and monsters. The gist of the story was that Xiaoyao had read a prophecy in a book. It said that 300 years later, the Central Plains would be in chaos. Ghosts and demons would escape from the Underworld and the Demon Realm, and the world would face a catastrophe.
When everyone heard this, they all smiled contemptuously. They were mocking Carefree for being ignorant and childish. He even believed such nonsense. Only Liu Yue Mei frowned, as if she was thinking about the hidden meaning behind Carefree's words.
"Lord Carefree, I'm afraid you've read too many ghost stories. There are no ghosts in the world.”The one who spoke was Gu Han Xuan, who was standing beside Yang Guang. Gu Han Xuan was quite bold. He approached Yang Guang and Liu Yue Mei at the same time, blowing warm wind into Liu Yue Mei's ears from time to time, which made Liu Yue Mei very annoyed.
Xiaoyao saw the mocking look on Gu Hanxuan's face and smiled,""Guard Gu, can you answer a few of Xiaoyao's questions?”
"Please speak."
"Excuse me, how is the monthly loss caused?”Carefree pointed at the moon outside the window. The moon was already high up in the sky, and there was a dark cloud covering half of the moon. It really looked like a lunar eclipse. Of course, first of all, Carefree was an atheist. The reason he said that was to cover up his lie. Otherwise, he could forget about holding his head high in front of everyone in the future.
"The Heavenly Hound eats it." Gu Hanxuan paused for a moment as he realized that he had walked into the trap that Xiaoyao had created.
"Where did the Heavenly Dog come from?" A charming smile appeared on Carefree's face.
Gu Han Xuan didn't answer. He knew that he was not as smart as Carefree, so he chose not to answer. Carefree wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Seeing that Gu Hanxuan didn't answer his question, Carefree leaned against the railing and said,
"The dangerous building is as tall as a white foot, and the hand can pinch the heart.
I dare not speak loudly, for fear of startling the people in the sky.”
"Good! What a good phrase,'Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of shocking the people in the sky'!”
Yang Guang knocked on the table and praised.
Liu Yue Mei's pretty face also bloomed into a beautiful peony flower.
"Guard Gu, may I ask if what Xiaoyao said makes sense?”
"Humph! It's groundless!"
"Oh? Guard Gu seemed to agree with Carefree.”Carefree laughed.
"When did I agree?" Gu Hanxuan asked curiously.
"Nonsense. There was wind with holes, and there was no breeze without holes. Did Guard Gu think that 'groundless rumors' were unfounded?”
Gu Hanxuan was speechless. He never thought that " groundless rumors " meant that there was evidence. He had always thought that " groundless rumors " meant that there was no evidence. Sigh, how embarrassing.
" Haha--" Yang Guang laughed loudly again. The officials could feel from his laughter that Yang Guang really valued Carefree. Knowing that Carefree had a bright future, they couldn't help but want to please Carefree.
Yuwen Huaji's determination to win Xiaoyao over became even more firm. He swore that he would make Xiaoyao his official and help him plan and fight for the Central Plains.
Looking at Liu Yue Mei again, she was extremely obedient. What was this place? Looking at Liu Yue Mei's shy expression when she looked at Carefree, it seemed that Carefree was already her lover. If her lover was praised by her father, she would naturally be happy.
At this moment, a maid served a dish. Everyone frowned when they saw it. Only Carefree smiled. He seemed to like this dish very much.
The maid placed it on the table, and Carefree couldn't help but praise,""Prawns play with rivers. What a Jiangnan delicacy.”
When everyone heard Carefree's words, they immediately turned their gazes to Carefree.
"Lord Xiao Yao seems to like this dish very much."”
Carefree bowed to Liu Yue Mei and said," Your Majesty is right. When Carefree was young, he wandered outside. He once went to the southeast sea. The people there were simple and honest. I received warm hospitality there." That area was rich in prawns, and these prawns were a delicacy in the world.”
"Daren said this is called Lady Shrimp?" Jin Gui asked," That's not right. The fisherman said that this thing is called mantis shrimp.”
"Shrimp Lady is also known as Mantis Shrimp. Its appearance is similar to lobsters. It is a member of the arthropod, crustacea, and stomatopoda. The back and abdomen were slightly flat, and there were eight pairs of appendages on the chest. The first five pairs were jaw limbs, which were used to catch food, so they were called stomatopods. The eyes had stalks, and there were eight ridges on the back. It lives on the sandy bottom of warm water coastal areas or between rocks and reefs. They lurked during the day and crawled at night to find food. The meat and mature ovaries were delicious and could be stir-fried or fried. Fresh prawns were washed, marinated with salt or soy sauce, and seasoned with chili, garlic, and other seasonings. It was one of Chaoshan's famous snacks.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but drool. They all wanted to try the delicacy, but when they saw the appearance of the prawn lady, they were afraid. Moreover, the prawn lady had a very inelegant name-Mantis Shrimp.
Carefree saw that Liu Yue Mei really wanted to eat, so he smiled and said,""Lady Prawn is very particular about how she eats them. Because their shells are relatively hard, it's not enough to just bite them with your mouth.”While speaking, Carefree picked up a female prawn with his left hand and a pair of chopsticks with his right hand. Carefree poked the chopsticks into a small hole in the female prawn's tail. Then, Carefree lifted the shell on the female prawn's back, revealing a row of fresh, sparkling prawn meat.
"Empress, please enjoy." Carefree placed the shelled prawn meat on a small plate and handed it to Liu Yue Mei.
Liu Yue Mei's face lit up as she looked at Carefree. She then used her chopsticks to pick up some of the Lady Prawn meat and chewed it carefully.
"How is it?"
Yang Guang saw Liu Yue Mei eating with relish and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yue Mei elegantly put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips,""The prawn meat is smooth and fragrant. It's really delicious.”
Yang Guang was very happy, so Carefree placed a peeled prawn on a small plate and handed it to Yang Guang, saying,""Your Majesty, please use it."
