"Husband, what happened to you?"

After eating breakfast, Physician Liu brought Cheng Qixia away from Mr. Xue with a smile on his face and returned to the neighboring room to continue busying himself. The amount of medicinal herbs prepared for the war was enough for the master and his disciples to busy themselves for more than ten days.

Mr. Xue sat cross-legged and sighed, like a burnt trumpet flower, attracting the concern of the children of licorice. Mr. Xue sighed, then waved his hand at him: "It's nothing, I just received critical damage and am recovering!"

"Huh?"

The licorice didn't understand.

Mr. Xue looked up at the sky: "The blood tank is empty, we urgently need the wet nurse and shaman!"

"What?"

Poor licorice was even more confused. Mr. Xue waved his hand without any intention to explain. The licorice scratched his head, reminding him, "Husband, don't forget to meet with the general when you return."

"Got it!"

The licorice cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.

Mr. Xue sighed, cheered up, and went to his bag to rummage through his clothes.

Most of the clothes in the bag belonged to the autumn and winter. Originally, he had planned to send them home to change into thinner clothes to make it easier for him to travel. In this ancient era, where there was no El Niño phenomenon, these clothes were just right for this period of time.

He rummaged in his bag and found warm underwear, a shirt, a sweater, a suit jacket, slacks, and a woolen coat. Mr. Xue was 1.85 meters tall and was dressed like that. He looked very threatening and had a tall and sturdy temperament.

Liquorice looked at him with a face full of envy, "Although this outfit is strange, my husband looks really good in it."

Mr. Xue laughed in a good mood and corrected him: "You're also a man. Come, brother will teach you. Praise men shouldn't be considered good-looking. If you want to talk about handsome and handsome."

The licorice grinned and scratched its head.

After cleaning up and arranging for the dogs to leave, there was still a quarter of an hour left before the carriage came to pick them up. The licorice helped Mr. Xue carry the wooden box onto the carriage, and they got into the carriage together.

"We're here!"

With the sound of the driver's reminder, Mr. Xue and Liu Gan lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. Mr. Xue looked up. It was a vermillion door with the words' General's Estate 'written in large letters. There were soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

The soldier on guard apparently recognized the licorice, "Xiaoji, what have you come for?"

"Thank you, Big Brother Liu, for your message. The licorice has brought Jiankang, Mr. Xue, with it."

The soldier nodded and looked at Mr. Xue: "Is this man famous?"

Mr. Xue quickly handed over the folder. This clip was a gift from his dead girlfriend. It was black alloy and had a leather cover. Mr. Xue had been using it all the time and had taken good care of it.

He looked at Mr. Xue doubtfully, and Mr. Xue smiled as he stepped forward, and made an open demonstration, revealing the paper with the name inside. The sergeant finally understood, and his attitude towards Mr. Xue was inexplicably much more polite, "Mr. Xue, please wait a moment, I will go and report to him.

"Thank you, Sergeant." This is a small gift that I have prepared. It is just a small gift, not much respect. I am just trying to express my gratitude. Please forgive me. "I'll have to trouble you to tell me."

"My lord, please be courteous. I will definitely inform the general. Please wait a moment."

The soldier turned around and walked in. After a short while, he came out, "The general is waiting for Mr. Xue in the mansion. Please, my lord."

Mr. Xue cupped his fists in thanks and followed the soldier into the room.

After entering, there were people who came to lead away the licorice, leaving him alone to follow the soldier. Compared to the gardens of the Tang Dynasty which Mr. Xue had visited in the modern era, this small courtyard was simple and crude.

After crossing the courtyard, they quickly arrived at a door.

The soldier immediately stopped. Mr. Xue, who had been paying attention to him, also stopped. The soldier lowered his head, cupped his fist, and bowed, "Missy, Jiankang Mr. Xue is here."

Mr. Xue also lowered his head, not wanting to look around to prevent others from using him as a lackey and sending him out. A crisp female voice was heard: "Sorry for the trouble, Sergeant Liu. Please go first. Mr. Xue will be brought by me to see Princess."

"Here."

The soldier lowered his head and left. The female soldier called the Inform Girl came over: "Mr. Xue, right? Please come with me. "

"Thank you, young lady."

She followed the sergeant down the corridor to the main door of the main hall, where Mr. Xue was told to wait while she went in to report. Mr. Xue stood there silently, hearing a slightly hoarse female voice from inside, "Let Mr. Xue in."

Then, the female soldier came out again, "Mr. Xue, the general invites you in."

Ye Zichen brought Mr. Xue in.

Mr. Xue followed the instruction given by the licorice. He bowed with his hands cupped in front of his chest and saluted, "I am Jiankang Mr. Xue, the overseas traveler greets you, General."

The slightly hoarse female voice said, "Mr. Xue, please sit down and speak."

A young lady dressed as a maid took out a cushion and placed it on the right side of the table. Mr. Xue knelt on the mat and raised his head to look clearly at the situation in the room.

In a spacious wooden room, a woman wearing a plain white silk robe was sitting on the seat of honor. Behind her, there was a screen, and in front of her was a desk. And the one kneeling in front of the screen must be the woman whose name shook the world — Princess Pingyang.

Princess's face was very beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and apricot eyes, and her facial features were whiter than normal. Although she was dressed as a man, it was hard to hide her beauty, and her pair of eyes were bright and clear, leaving a deep impression on people.

When he was not laughing or speaking, he felt somewhat cool and his temperament was extraordinary. Just casually kneeling there made people not dare to be careless in the slightest. It was as if telling her a joke would offend her and make her not slack in the slightest.

Sister! Beautiful and graceful, Sister Yu!

Mr. Xue only took a glance at Princess. She had a strong aura. She appeared calm and graceful, but no one dared to slack off. Mr. Xue also couldn't help but straighten his back.

On Princess Pingyang's left was a middle-aged man with a full beard and deep facial features, clearly different from the Chinese. On her right was a beautiful woman wearing a lake- colored man's outfit.

There was a table in front of each of them. Between the table and the table was at least a meter apart.

Beside the screen, there was a woman dressed like a maid. There was a table filled with food next to her, and beside the table, there was a small stove. A kettle was sitting on top of the stove, and from time to time, the woman would take something from the table and put it in water.

"I heard that Mr. Xue's ancestors were born in a well-built family, and his ancestors moved overseas. I wonder where he is overseas?"

Princess Pingyang asked the moment they sat down.

Mr. Xue looked up with a serious face.

You guys wouldn't know anyway, so go ahead and make it up.

Therefore, Mr. Xue said, "It's a country called the Byzantine Dynasty. The place that this country is located at is also a huge continent like my Tang Dynasty. That continent is called Europa."

When she finished, she intentionally looked at the expressions of the other three. Other than Princess Pingyang's indifferent expression that she couldn't see, the other two were at a loss for a moment. It was good that he was at a loss. If he understood what was going on, then he would have to face the code.

The bearded man asked, "How far is it from a big meal?"

Mr. Xue looked at the bearded man: "What is your name, sir?"

"He Pan Ren from a certain clan."

He Panren, one of the leaders of the rebel army that Princess Pingyang had recruited back then, was a peddler. No wonder he was here today, probably to find him to identify Mr. Xue's background.
