Chapter 16 Unusual Situations

Liu Yu guessed from Han Sheng's words that the old emperor must have Su Yan's share of sending the prince out to lead the troops this time. However, the imperial court's order has not been issued now, so we cannot talk nonsense in advance.

"It's better to go back and wait for the news here than to stay here. It depends on the emperor's attitude."

Su Yan also understood that Liu Yu would be difficult for him to help in this matter, so he had to go back to the small courtyard where he rented it to wait for the news.

Shortly after Liu Yu entered the chess building, Sui Yi and the other two would pull him away, saying that they would join in the fun.

Joining in the fun has never had anything to do with Liu Yu, but today is the day when "Yuelaiju" reopens, and Liu Yu, a "senior consultant", was the first to be invited. Liu Yu also wanted to see if his ideas worked.

When he arrived at Yuelaiju, Liu Yucai had to admire Sui Yu's publicity skills. Not only did Yuelaiju have more than 30 seats in two floors, but there were also queues for patronage outside, which was even more lively than the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City.

Sui Yu specially left a seat for them, went upstairs to sit in a seat, Liu Yu looked around. Although time was rushed and there was no time to redecorate, he still made simple decorations, separated the private room, and the guests also had their own private banquet space.

"Brother Liu, I have to admire your ability, your ideas, and my sister's practical energy. When I came here just now, I thought I had gone through the wrong door."

Sui Yi said happily, but found that Liu Yu was staring out the window in a quiet daze.

Liu Yu originally wanted to avoid power struggles and be an idle person. Now it seems that he is getting closer to the power vortex. Su Yan is not as talented as an emperor, and he is planning for him in the future.

"Brother Liu, what are your suggestions for the development of Yuelaiju?"

Liu Yu was pulled by Sui Yi before he came to his senses. He looked closely and not only the three friends of the wine pool, but also Sui Yu stood aside and looked at him with expectations, hoping that he would give him a better opinion.

"Opinion? What's the opinion?" Liu Yu looked at everyone.

"It seems that the young master is not thinking about it." Sui Yu smiled and said, "Today, Yuelai is crowded. People may be greedy for freshness or seeking some small gains. Unfortunately, Yuelai is limited in seats. If they cannot satisfy their appetite today, they may not come in the future. I wonder what good ideas Mr. Liu has?"

"Idea?...either open a branch or... deliver takeaway." Liu Yu said absent-mindedly.

Sui Yu said in surprise: "What is the time to open a branch? Delivery food...what does it mean?"

Liu Yu explained: "Delivery food is similar to outsourcing banquets. But you have prepared it and delivered it to the booked people. It costs some manpower. However, in order to maintain the quality of the food, it is best to do some time in keeping warm and fresh."

"What Mr. Liu has made is such a good suggestion." Sui Yu said in surprise, "I'm going to tell the people waiting outside about delivering food."

After saying that, Sui Yu quickly went downstairs. Liu Yu was stunned by her efficiency and pointed: "Is this... going?"

Sui Yi smiled proudly and said, "It's said that my sister never drags on the mud. She's such a person."

The situation in Chang'an City is a little unusual.

For several days, the flying cavalry who were passing the messages back and forth on the horse road were back and forth. Several princes led their troops out of Chang'an City and headed to the border. Afterwards, Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, was ordered to lead his troops to fight. The place he went was very interesting, and he actually went to guard Tongguan. Of course, this news was also learned by his father's words.

Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong area, thousands of miles from the northern gate.

Although the court repeatedly suppressed the news, a piece of news spread in Chang'an City soon. Shaowu Pass, one of the three key passes of the Great Wall, was lost, and Turkic cavalry had already rushed straight into Tongguan. The target was aimed directly at Chang'an.

Liu Yu was shocked when he first heard this news. You must know that the Dashun Dynasty stationed more than 200,000 permanent troops on the front line of the North Great Wall, and millions of local civilians. This is what happened? Is it impossible to get the Jin Dynasty's attack on the Song Dynasty and then move the capital south to the world? Even An Lushan's rebellion was enough to make his good days come to an end.

Liu Yu also wanted to know some news, but unfortunately his father went to the expedition. Several brothers were either busy with court affairs or went out. The rest were confused. There were many rumors outside. Today, they said that Shaowu Pass was just attacked and not broken. Some said that Shaowu Pass was lost and recovered, and the army had already broken out of the Great Wall to chase the Turkic army. The most outrageous news was that Tongguan was also lost, and now the Turkic army is about to besiege Chang'an.

The news is blocked. Liu Yu doesn't know who to listen to.

Han Sheng could not see him for several days, so he went to the mansion to pay his respects. The mansion also said that the master had not returned home for several days. It seems that the rumors are not groundless. After all, Han Sheng did not have a real position in the court, and he would only consult him when the emperor was in trouble.

Also waiting for news, Su Yan was also waiting for news. Su Yan was anxious these days like an ant on a hot pan. After all, the world belonged to their family, and most of his brothers and sisters also went to the border to defend their country. He seemed to be eager to get the order to go to the war immediately.

Finally, on February 27th, Liu Yu saw Han Sheng who had not been missing in the chess building for a long time. Seeing Han Sheng's appearance, he was not very nervous. He sat in the seat and wanted to set up his chess pieces to play chess.

"What's going on outside?" Liu Yu finally caught a sensible person and asked.

"It's not to say, it's not to say." Han Sheng's face had a mysterious smile, "I'm here today to inform Brother Liu that the mansion given by the emperor has been prepared, and I will take you over and have a look."

"Get down."

Han Sheng was able to calm down, and Liu Yu was more at ease. After two people played a chess game, Liu Yu even went to the endgame and was surrounded by a bunch of chess pieces. Han Sheng's bare veteran was hiding in Tibet.

"You can't just give me a happy moment?" In the end, even Han Sheng was anxious.

"You make me unhappy, why should I make you feel happy?"

Han Sheng threw the chess piece and said angrily: "You little brat, you are almost a family. You are not polite to an old man like me. How could you play chess with your elders and force your elders to this extent?"

Liu Yu looked up at Han Sheng and said, "Let's go and take me to see my future residence."

The carriage in Han Sheng's mansion was waiting at the entrance of the chess building. The carriage drove for several streets and stopped at a gate. The door was very grand. After all, it was for the future General Xu's mansion, but there was no plaque on the door, so it was obviously awaiting the emperor's imperial gift.

I went in and saw that the six-entry garden was comparable to the ordinary mansion of the Duke and the Marquis, but after all, it was the future residence of Liu Yu and his wife. There was no one in the Xu family, and no one in the Liu family was going to live here with Liu Yu, and the scale could not be compared with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Somewhat is that there are no maids or servants in the mansion, but on the contrary, it seems like a military station, with many female soldiers garrisoning inside and outside.

"These are all the female soldiers left behind in the capital of the daughter army. Let's look at the yard for you for the time being." Han Sheng took Liu Yu around inside and out and said, "Ting'er and Yi'er will be sent here tonight, so you can enjoy this short-term warmth, tomorrow... embark on the journey."

"Ah?" Liu Yu was shocked after hearing this, "I'm going out to fight tomorrow? The situation is not so serious, right?"

Liu Yu wanted to ask something more, but Han Sheng stopped talking.

After leaving the yard, Liu Yu hurriedly left and said he was going to see the emperor. Liu Yu returned to the chess building thoughtfully. Before he could get in, he saw Su Yan coming out of it.

"Master, I have received the appointment document from the Ministry of War, asking me to take the first battalion of troops to Wanzhou to garrison." Su Yan welcomed him with excitement.

Liu Yu had some understanding of the geographical structure of the Dashun Dynasty. Where is Wanzhou? When he thought about it, it was more than a thousand miles southeast of Tongguan. He thought that even if Turkic cavalry really came in, he would not go to Wanzhou, right?
