The Child Emperor

Luan Kai has a habit of grabbing the food in front of others while eating, and glaring at him at the same time. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has a quirky temper. No one wants to mess with him, but they all find it strange that Luan Kai is usually a very easy-going person. People don't get angry when they are scolded, they laugh with everyone, but when they see the food, they change their temper.

After he finished eating, someone asked him the reason, and Luan Kai replied blankly: Don't you all grab food like this? It's strange that you all eat your own, can you still taste it?

Luan Kai has lived in Yunmengze since he was a child. There, only violent people can live well. Luan Kai does not understand the meaning of ruthlessness. He always appeared at mealtimes to show that he was the parent of everyone's food and clothing, so Luan Kai developed the habit of grabbing rice.

He is now an ordinary soldier in the Sword and Halberd Battalion. He is not even a guard, but he does not need to participate in vigilance. He is either marching every day, or practicing with other people. When the guards need manpower temporarily, he goes to help.

When the deputy commander Wang He came, Luan Kai was robbing him for food. The man was robbed for three days in a row.

The two of them were in the same posture, holding the bowl in their left hand, turned as far as possible behind them, with their right hand in front, fighting with their fists and palms, Luan Kai glared angrily, but the man held his breath and went all out.

The others watched the fun and cheered, and when they saw Wang He coming in, they immediately silenced, and the soldiers who were fighting against Luan Kai also stopped.

Wang He waved his hand, indicating that he could continue.

Luan Kai also saw Wang He, and didn't care at all. Taking advantage of the other party's slight distraction, his right hand stuck out like lightning and dragged the man to his side. , returned to his seat, and ate with two bowls in his arms.

The person who was deprived of the meal was very unconvinced, and after receiving a hint from his boss, he strode over, Luan Kai, you won a half-trick while I was not prepared. It's unfair, let's fight again.

Luan Kai still buried his head, chewing rice in his mouth, and said vaguely, Fight again?

Fight again, fair competition, no one...

Before the man finished speaking, Luan Kai sat on the stool and kicked out, but his upper body didn't move, still protecting food with one hand and pulling food into his mouth with the other.

This foot came and went without a trace, and the distance was so close, the man was completely defenseless, he could only block it with his hands, jumped backwards, and after landing, he was unstable, staggered back, and finally sat down on his buttocks.

In front of the boss, the man was even more unconvinced, and became angry with shame, jumped up, and rushed up again.

Wang He just wanted to see Luan Kai's skills, didn't want to cause trouble, raised his hand to stop the man, walked over to Luan Kai and sat down.

The house returned to normal, and there was no shortage of food in the camp. The robbed took another bowl, sat with his companions, and accepted everyone's soft laugh.

The deputy commander of Jianji Battalion himself was present, and the soldiers furthest away from him also felt uncomfortable, and tried to keep their mouths shut while eating, but Luan Kai, who was closest to him, didn't care, he concentrated on eating, and the wind was blowing, as if it was the last meal in the prison. .

Others only ate half of a bowl of rice, but Luan Kai ate two bowls of rice. He straightened up, burped unscrupulously, let out a long breath, patted his stomach, satisfied, and looked at Wang He with a smile. , seems to be waiting for the other party's praise.

Wang He had to lean back a little to avoid the breath coming towards his face, and said, The appetite is not small.

It's not as good as before. Luan Kai, who was in his twenties, imitated Lao Jianghu's tone, Looking back at the time, this meal could only serve as a base.

Why don't you eat now?

A very simple question can make Luan Kai frown and scratch his head, thinking for a while, The food here is too oily and watery, so I won't be hungry after eating.

The status of the Suwei Army was a little higher than that of the Southern and Northern Army. The Sword and Halberd Battalion was the only one among the Eight Battalions. There were also many noble descendants among the ordinary soldiers, and the food was naturally not bad. A large bowl is filled with rice and vegetables at the same time, but the rice is white rice.

Wang He laughed, got up and said, Come with me.

Luan Kai didn't ask the reason, got up and followed. When he passed the opponent just now, he patted the man on the head and said with a smile: Interesting, the same food served in your bowl is more fragrant than mine.

The man was unprepared again, and almost fell into his rice bowl. He raised his head in a hurry, his face flushed, watching Luan Kai and his boss leave, and smiled bitterly to his companions: Luan Kai is my son, and he has no way to teach him, making everyone laugh. .

Everyone laughed, the man couldn't beat Luan Kai, so he could only beg for some advantage.

Wang He took Luan Kai to his room, stared at him and looked at him, hesitating in his heart.

Luan Kai couldn't understand other people's expressions, so he looked around the room, Your place is better than mine.

Because I am an official and you are a soldier, of course there must be a difference.

Luan Kai nodded, Just like in the stockade, the stockade owner lives in the biggest house, eats the best food, and has the most women. Here, you are the stockade owner.

I'm not the owner of the village. Wang He smiled.

Yes, the emperor is the owner of the village. Which position are you in?

I count... We don't have the top spot. I am the deputy commander of the Sword and Halberd Battalion, and I have a fourth-rank military rank.

That's the fourth spot. Luan Kai only understood the word four and automatically came to the conclusion, It's not bad.

In Yunmengze, where did you rank? Wang He asked.

Luan Kai smirked a few times, I haven't ranked yet, that bastard Luan Banxiong said that he will only give me a place after I make a few more credits.

After learning that Luan Banxiong killed his father and took his son, Luan Kai hated his foster father.

This son is clearly liked and hated. Wang He thought about it and said, There is a credit right now. If you can do it, you will be promoted to an official and a rank, and you will no longer be an ordinary soldier.

Yes, let's talk, who do you want to kill? Luan Kai didn't even ask. In his opinion, making meritorious deeds is killing people.

Wang He shook his head, This time it's not killing people, it's saving people.

I'm not Lang Zhong, how can I save people?

I ask you, does Yun Mengze have many contacts with the East China Sea pirates?

It's alright. Over the course of a year, we can always give each other several gifts, not for me, but for the bastard Luan Banxiong.

Do you recognize people from Donghai?

Luan Kai shook his head, I don't like it when people at sea speak strangely.

When Yunmengze was breached, some people fled into the sea. You must know these people.

You have to say your name. With so many people in Yunmengze, how can I know if I recognize them?

Wang He found a piece of paper on the table, looked for a while, and read out a series of names, Luan Kai listened, and suddenly said: I know this person, Wu You is the son-in-law of the bastard Luan Banxiong, always saying that he will not agree. I hoped to die together, but I thought he was dead, but he went to sea.

Well, Wu You fled to the sea, and together with a group of thieves, captured a general of Da Chu.

Hehe, he's quite powerful, but he's just not loyal enough. He promised to die together, but he ran away by himself.

This general's name is Huang Pugong, who is admired by His Majesty. Can you go to sea and rescue him?

Yes, kill all the pirates and bring back the surnamed Huang.

There are many pirates...

It's okay, I will kill one by one, and I will always finish.

Luan Kai still has a temper, and he does not allow others to doubt his skills, Wang He can only say: What if the pirates kill General Huang?

Then I will avenge him and bring back his head.

Your Majesty wants living people.

That's it, it's a bit difficult. Luan Kai scratched his head.

That's why I want you to go, not to kill people, but to negotiate and let the pirates release General Huang alive.

Negotiation... what to talk about? Luan Kai suddenly lost his confidence and his face was blank.

Wang He had a hard time making a decision. He always thought that Luan Kai would do bad things, but he was the one chosen by the emperor, and he couldn't think of any other way. I mean, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty.

The Emperor of Chu could not negotiate with the pirates. Wang Heben wanted to make it clearer, but then changed his statement so that Luan Kai could not understand or talk nonsense.

Luan Kai raised his hand and patted Wang He's shoulder, and said with a smile: So that's the case, I said earlier, I said the emperor's favorite general, what does it have to do with us?

Would you like to help me with this?

You're a good person, it's no problem to help, but I just don't know how to talk.

I have written a letter, you give it to Wu You, and ask him to pass it on to the pirate leader. If the other party agrees, you will bring General Huang back. If the other party disagrees, you don't need to say more, come back by yourself, and don't have any conflicts. Understand?

Luan Kai didn't seem to understand, Wang He explained: Don't fight, don't kill people.

ok, I understand.

Come back alive.

Haha, officials can also talk nonsense. How can they come back if they don't live? Hey, no, the head can be brought back, but the body can't be brought back... Does this count as coming back or not?

It counts when you come back with your head and body together.

Okay, when do you leave?

immediately.

Luan Kai tightened his belt, turned around and was about to leave, without asking what the reward was or taking any letters.

Wang He hurriedly stopped him, gave him the letter, and warned him again, and then took him to the pier in person, took a paper order from the naval general Chen Xiao, and dispatched a small boat to carry Luan Kai.

This was the second day after the emperor arrived in the East China Sea. Wang He watched the boat go away, but he didn't have a clue in his heart. Or they are too stubborn, and if they disagree with the pirate group, they will be killed on the spot.

He didn't know what was written in the letter, but he always thought it was more like a reminder, and the pirates would kill Huang Pugong after seeing it.

Eight full days have passed, and the Luan Kai people have not come back, and there is no news. Wang He is getting more and more uneasy.

On the last day of stationing in the East China Sea, the emperor would inspect the navy on the pier, accompanied by many officials, and made an exception to allow the people to watch from a distance.

Han Ruzi was almost ready.
