In the Cheng Mansion in Chang 'an, Cheng Chumo rushed back from Anping County after his shift change. He mainly went home to pack his luggage.
In the future, his meals and accommodation would be arranged in Lu Manor.
"Chumo, you're back. I heard that you were transferred to Anping County by His Majesty?”Cheng Yaojin asked.
"Father, how did you know?" Cheng Chumo said in surprise.
"How come I didn't know about it? I don't know what His Majesty was thinking, but he actually transferred you to a small county. You're just a lieutenant, what can you do there?”Cheng Yaojin said with a dark face.
"Father, because the Retired Emperor has always lived in Anping County, His Majesty wants us to protect the Retired Emperor. I have not been demoted.”Cheng Chumo said.
"Retired Emperor has been out for a few days and has yet to return to the palace?”Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
"Not yet. Moreover, it seems that he wants to settle down in Anping County for a long time. Therefore, His Majesty asked us to guard him.”Cheng Chumo shook his head.
"No way. Anping County is a small and broken county. What's so good about it that the Retired Emperor can't bear to return to the palace?”Cheng Yaojin felt a little ridiculous.
It was so comfortable to live in the Imperial Palace. Why did he have to suffer in a small county town? There was no food and no women. How could he enjoy himself in the Imperial Palace?
"Father, there's something you don't know. There's a strange person in Anping County, Lu Xiu. He's very powerful. Not only did the Prince of Hejian betroth his daughter to him, but he was also examining the Emperor's idea of marrying Princess Changle to him.”Speaking of Lu Xiu, Cheng Chumo was full of excitement.
"Strange person? What ability does he have?" Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
To be able to marry the princess was already a great favor from the Emperor. To actually be able to make His Majesty marry the princess to him, what exactly was his background?
Princess Chang Le had always been the Emperor's favorite. In his opinion, it was very likely that she would marry Zhangsun Wuji's son, Zhangsun Chong.
"Speaking of Villa Head Lu, he's really powerful. He's like a god.”Cheng Chumo didn't know how to describe Lu Xiu's ability.
"Immortal? Chumo, are you stupid?”Cheng Yaojin looked at his son like an idiot, as if he was caring for a retard.
"Father, I really didn't lie to you. Villa Head Lu could turn stone into gold. Whether it was weeds, stone sand, or the like, anything could be used to turn into the best food.”
"In order to save the people who were affected by the locust plague, he issued an announcement in Anping County that one catty of locusts could be exchanged for one catty of food. Therefore, countless people go to exchange for food every day.”
"Not only that, he can easily cut off our bodies, cut off our heads, and then reattach them without any injuries.”
Cheng Chumo told his father what he had seen and heard in detail. Otherwise, if he kept it in his heart, he would have to spit it out.
To be honest, his experience today was very surreal. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
Especially after experiencing the separation of the head and the body. The pain was not very strong, but the body and the head were separated, and then it was out of his control.
The scariest part was his lower half. It didn't feel special when it was replaced by someone else's lower half. It was very strange.
Cheng Chumo didn't believe it himself.
"How is that possible?" Therefore, Cheng Yaojin did not believe it at all.
"If Father doesn't believe me, you can take a look at Anping County tomorrow. The Retired Emperor was unwilling to leave because the dishes that Villa Head Lu conjured were too delicious.”Cheng Chumo said.
They were able to get a share of the delicious steak that they had tasted at noon. Cheng Chumo felt that he had eaten the best meal in more than ten years.
"I don't know if it's true or not."
"No wonder all our farmers went out to catch locusts.”Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized that his fief was only ten miles away from Anping County. The news of the locusts being exchanged for food naturally reached their ears very quickly.
From the looks of it, there was indeed some credibility. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have valued him so much.
"Chumo, didn't you say that his food was delicious? It seems that you ate a lot. Why didn't you bring it back to show your respect to your father?”Cheng Yaojin glanced at him and said unhappily.
"I…I can only get a little. It's not enough for me. Father, if you want to eat it, why don't you catch a dozen catties of locusts to exchange?”Cheng Chumo said aggrievedly.
"I don't care. You have to bring it back for me to taste first.”Cheng Yaojin said unreasonably.
"Alright, alright."
Cheng Chumo really couldn't do anything to his father, so he had to agree first. Anyway, he had to be on duty, and he didn't know when he would be able to go home in the future.
"With Father's personality, if he suddenly ran to Anping County, who knows what would happen. Even with the Retired Emperor around, Father shouldn't dare to act recklessly.”
However, he was afraid that his father would cause trouble and might not even be able to see the Retired Emperor. He might have already been taught a lesson by Lu Xiu.
