How much tax do we pay to the court every year? And how much of this tax money is used for military expenses? Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so fond of the Rong family, wouldn't let my sister become the imperial concubine in the palace, and wouldn't let Concubine Rong Xian, who should have been a nun, live out her days in the palace! If the general is dissatisfied with the Rong family's actions, you can report it to the emperor! With just one imperial decree from the emperor, my Rong family will not interfere in the Youzhou jade mine!"
Who doesn't know how to use power to oppress others? It's just that Rong Yunhe didn't bother to do so in the past!
However, now that he has been with Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng for a long time, his methods have become much more flexible. He also knows that some people and some things cannot be exchanged for the same concessions from others just by tolerance!
Sure enough, when the adjutant heard Rong Yunhe mention Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong Xian, the arrogant smile on his face instantly disappeared, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind!
Even though Lu Xin is the emperor's confidant, a woman's pillow talk is the most powerful weapon in the world!
Moreover, it is said that Concubine Rong has an unparalleled beauty in the world, and even the emperor dotes on her!
If I offend Rong Yunhe for no reason, and the general is now far away in Nanxun, I am afraid that the emperor will blame me. Even if I escape death, I will not be able to escape the punishment of living!
And as Rong Yunhe just said, if he could send people to the capital, why would he stay on the city wall of Youzhou City all day? I'm afraid that the people he sent out were all intercepted by Chu Feiyang!
Thinking of this, the deputy general looked at Rong Yunhe and Xiahou Qin with doubts in his eyes. If these two people have a good relationship, doesn't it mean that the Rong family and the Chu family have a good relationship?
"I wonder where Mr. Rong will rest after entering the city? Do you need me to prepare it for you?" Changing his previous arrogance, the deputy general immediately waved to the guards behind him to come forward, and pretended to take Rong Yunhe's horse!
"No need! There are only the little boy and I on this trip, so we can stay in the inn!" Rong Yunhe held the reins tightly, spoke with a very calm expression, then patted the horse's body and walked calmly towards the city gate!
Seeing the flattery on the deputy general's face just now, Xiahou Qin sneered and then rode his horse into Youzhou City!
"Are you really going to stay in the inn? But I don't think he will give up so easily!" The two men rode side by side on the streets of Youzhou. Xiahou Qin turned his head to look at Rong Yunhe and asked in a low voice!
"He is already suspicious of the Rong family and the Chu family!" This is the problem that makes Rong Yunhe worried!
"So what? Chu Feiyang will take care of everything!"
"Ah, ha!" Chu Feiyang was kissing Yun Qianmeng's cheek when he suddenly turned his head away from her and sneezed. "Who's talking about me?"
【232】
After giving a few instructions to the guards behind him, he rode his horse towards the Youzhou Posthouse!
"Your Highness x Princess, Master Rong and Prince Xiahou have entered Youzhou!" Xi Lin, who had returned to the private room, reported the news he had just received!
"Where is he?" Seeing Chu Feiyang suddenly sneeze, Yun Qianmeng poured him a cup of boiling hot tea and asked him to drink it while it was hot to suppress the coldness in his body!
Little did they know that Chu Feiyang was already strong and healthy, and the climate in Youzhou was hot. After drinking a cup of hot tea, sweat had already seeped out of his back. However, due to Yun Qianmeng's good intentions, he would not refuse. But no matter how much Yun Qianmeng coaxed him, he refused to nod and drink the second cup!
"Young Master Rong has temporarily stayed in the inn, and I have sent secret guards to protect him! Prince Xiahou has returned to the posthouse!" Seeing that his own prince's forehead was already covered with sweat, Xi Lin answered Yun Qianmeng's questions as quickly as possible, quickly slipped out of the private room, and stood guard outside the door as if he had seen nothing!
"Be good, drink another cup. Sweating can suppress the coldness in your body!" Yun Ganmeng looked at the beads of sweat gradually appearing on Chu Feiyang's forehead with satisfaction, and put the steaming hot tea in his hand into Chu Feiyang's hand again. Then he stared at Chu Feiyang with his eyes, signaling him to drink it while it was hot!
"Meng'er, I'm in good health! Look, I'm sweating all over!" Chu Feiyang ignored the advice and put the teacup in his hand back on the table. At the same time, he leaned close to his sweaty forehead so that Yun Ganmeng could see clearly!
"If you are really in good health, why would you sneeze in such a hot day?" Yun Qianmeng looked at the handsome face approaching, and found that even the tip of his straight nose was covered with a few beads of sweat. She couldn't help but chuckle, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and carefully wiped the sweat off Chu Feiyang's face to prevent him from catching a cold when he went out!
Chu Feiyang took advantage of this moment, his dark eyes quietly gazing at the person so close to him, enjoying her warmth. The look in his eyes was as gentle as a pool of spring water. He watched her carefully and gently wipe the sweat off his face. The delicate face in front of him attracted his senses all the time, causing Chu Feiyang's Adam's apple to slide up and down for a moment!
"Meng'er!" The soft call, with a hint of tenderness, also distracted Yun Qianmeng a little!
"Well, what's wrong?" Yingying's gaze slightly moved away from his forehead and looked into his eyes. Yun Ganmeng asked casually without caring too much!
At this moment, a warm hand touched her fair and tender cheek, and with a hint of reluctance at being temporarily ignored, he muttered, "I want to do what I just did!"
"Hmm?" Yun Ganmeng was just folding her handkerchief and putting it into her sleeve, and hadn't yet carefully understood what Chu Feiyang said!
Little did she know that Chu Feiyang moved extremely quickly. The hand that was originally caressing her cheek instantly moved to the back of her head, gently hooked her neck, and when he brought her into his arms, he also leaned forward and kissed her red lips gently but domineeringly before she could open her mouth again, and continued what had just been interrupted... "Let's go see Rong Yunhe!" After a while, Yun Qianmeng leaned in Chu Feiyang's arms and slowly opened her mouth.
"Do you want to tell him about the Rong family?" They were so telepathic that Chu Feiyang could always tell Yun Qianmeng what was on her mind in the shortest possible time!
Yun Qianmeng nodded, a hint of solemnity between her brows, and looked up into Chu Feiyang's eyes, "Since Emperor Ya Gan is on guard against everyone, he will definitely not let the Rong family become too powerful. What's worse, he may even suppress the Rong family!
If the Rong family doesn't prepare now, they might not even be able to defend themselves in the future! Furthermore, if Concubine Rong... Yun Qianmeng paused for a moment, not continuing. It's best not to talk about things that haven't been put into practice!
After listening to this, Chu Feiyang nodded in understanding, then took Yun Qianmeng's hand and stood up, and the two of them walked out of the private room together!
"Which inn is Rong Yunhe staying at?" It was noon, and the restaurant lobby was bustling with people dining. The waiters were flitting between the tables, placing food and drinks in front of the crowd. The aroma of wine and food filled the air, whetting everyone's appetite! Mu Chun and Xi Lin, meanwhile, stood guard outside the door, their eyes fixed on the job, their diligence commanding admiration.
"In reply to the prince, Master Rong lives in the inn diagonally opposite!" Seeing Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng come out, Xi Lin's body, which was as hard as a pine tree, finally moved slightly, and he turned to Chu Feiyang and whispered!
After getting the accurate information, Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng smiled at each other, then they walked down to the third floor and headed towards the guesthouse where Rong Yunhe was staying!
"Knock, knock, knock!" The corridor of Tianlao Room No. 1 was silent. A few very light knocks on the door were echoed in the corridor, sounding particularly crisp and loud!
"Who?" After a while, Si'er's cautious voice came from inside!
Yun Qianmeng glanced at Mu Chun, who immediately said, "Si'er, it's me, Mu Chun!"
Sure enough, after hearing Muchun's voice, light footsteps were heard from the inner room. In the blink of an eye, the person inside opened the door!
Si'er at the door immediately turned sideways when she saw Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang, revealing a slightly delighted expression. "How did you find yourself here? Please come in!"
Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly in response and stepped into the spacious and bright guest room with Chu Feiyang. "We happened to be strolling around here and heard Xi Lin's report, so we came over! Are you used to living here? If there's anything missing, ask Si'er to get it from the inn. Don't get wronged!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's enthusiasm, Rong Yunhe also smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess! Everything is fine here!
Your Majesty, Princess, please take a seat!"
As he spoke, Rong Yunhe asked Si'er to prepare tea, while he took Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang to sit in the outer room. However, he knew in his heart that if it wasn't for something important, how could Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang just happen to rush over after he entered Youzhou?
It was brought from the capital, but it's not affected by the southern climate and tastes sweet and mellow!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang naturally picked up the teacups beside them and savored them carefully. After taking a sip, Yun Qianmeng and Chu Feiyang looked at each other and saw her take out the note from her sleeve and hand it to Rong Yunhe. A heavy look gathered between her brows, "I guess you don't know yet, take a look at this first!"
Seeing the smile on Yun Qianmeng's face fade away and his expression gradually become solemn, Rong Yunhe turned his gaze slightly to Chu Feiyang!
But Chu Feiyang was drinking the tea in his hand with a calm expression, but his eyes, like Yun Qianmeng, were filled with a hint of seriousness. This made Rong Yunhe's heart tighten. He reached out to take the note handed over by Yun Qianmeng, opened it quickly, and read the report on it as quickly as possible!
"Yi, are grandma and sister doing well now?" After reading all the contents on the note, Rong Yunhe's brows were already furrowed, and the expression on his face had turned solemn, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes!
"Don't worry, the old lady and Concubine Rong are both fine! We came to tell you this not to cause you worry! We just hope that you can think more about the future of the Rong family!" As she said that, Yun Qianmeng turned around and looked at Chu Feiyang!
Chu Feiyang immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, walked to Rong Yunhe and whispered the whole story!
After hearing all this, Rong Yunhe looked up at Chu Feiyang in shock, but found that Chu Feiyang's face was solemn, so he couldn't help but turn to Yun Qianmeng!
Unexpectedly, Yun Qianmeng nodded calmly at him. How could they possibly talk nonsense about something like this? Especially when it involved a woman's reputation!
"Now that I think about it, it's no wonder he did this! But..." "...After knowing this, Rong Yunhe became more and more nervous and worried. His sister is a weak woman with a beautiful face. This is an extremely dangerous thing in the harem!
"How could he not think of these? He cares more about your sister than you! The Rong family is wealthy and powerful, and the emperor has long been jealous of the Rong family's wealth. You'd better be prepared to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry in the future!" Chu Feiyang's words were extremely subtle, but it was not difficult to understand. If Emperor Yu Gan took away the wealth that originally belonged to the Rong family, once the Rong family had no value to use, I am afraid that the richest man in Western Chu would also disappear from the capital. This was not alarmist. Coupled with the identities of Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng, Rong Yunhe's heart trembled, and he felt that this was really a matter of urgency!
Judging from the fact that Emperor Yugan wants to favor Concubine Rong, it is known that Emperor Yugan is not only attracted by Concubine Rong's appearance. I am afraid that the huge wealth of the Rong family is also the reason why he is moved. If I don't make plans early, not to mention the danger of the Rong family, I am afraid that the concubines and concubines in the palace will also face danger!
"That's all we have to say. It all depends on your decision! Meng'er, let's go back! I believe my cousin has already found someone in the inn!" Seeing Rong Yunhe fell into deep thought for a while, Chu Feiyang turned back to Yun Ganmeng, took her hand and stood up!
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!" Upon seeing this, Rong Yunhe immediately stood up to see them off, but was stopped by Chu Feiyang!
"Will it be too difficult for him to make a decision?" The Rong family has always been neutral and never involved in state affairs. Even the concubines sent to the palace are kept out of the harem struggles!
But now it is really difficult for Rong Yunhe to make such a decision, especially since Rong Yunhe is only a fifteen-year-old boy!
Helping Yun Qianmeng down the stairs, the two of them left the inn and headed towards the bustling government office in the sunshine. Chu Feiyang smiled faintly. "If he were an ordinary young man, I'm afraid Old Lady Chen would definitely not let him take charge of the Rong family! And Rong Yunhe himself knows in his heart that surviving in this kind of situation is definitely not a long-term solution! Who can guarantee that the Rong family will always be the richest in Western Chu? Who can guarantee that other families won't have the intention of destroying the Rong family? Let's go, let's go see my cousin and see if he has prepared everything according to your request!"
Something urgent happened today, so I delayed the update. I will update more tomorrow!
