"I would be grateful if you could put in a good word for me, sir."
Xiao Yu could also see that Eunuch Wei wanted to curry favor with him, so he took out two gold ingots from his sleeve and prepared to slip them to him.
"No, no, this old servant must hurry back to see His Majesty..."
Eunuch Wei pushed the gold back, saying, "Your words are certainly kind, but how can this old servant accept anything from Your Highness again?"
"Oh, my father-in-law has been traveling back and forth so much. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Consider it as buying tea for him."
Xiao Yu continued to push.
If this powerful eunuch could put in a good word for her, it would surely deepen the Empress's favor towards her.
Otherwise, if Eunuch Wei returns and reports the truth, saying that Xiao Yu was extremely arrogant and forced Ouyang Ye to lose face and return directly to Sword Forging Valley... would that be reasonable?
"Then this old servant will accept it without being impolite."
After some initial refusal, Eunuch Wei accepted the two ingots of gold.
Subsequently, men were dispatched to load two hundred Qi family swords onto carriages, preparing to take them to the palace where the Imperial Guards would personally inspect the quality of this batch of swords.
"Please tell His Majesty that the Qi family sword is specifically designed to counter samurai swords. Moreover, the elites of my Xiao Prince's Mansion have been practicing for a long time. We can handle Japanese samurai!" Xiao Yu said.
This is also the main reason why he insisted on giving the gold to Eunuch Wei.
If it were just a few kind words, Xiao Yu wouldn't need to fawn over Eunuch Wei like this.
Of course, it was to get the Empress to agree to let him take Xiao Zhan and the others to fight against the Japanese samurai.
"This old servant will report to Your Majesty without missing a single word."
"That's what Eunuch Wei said."
Afterwards, Eunuch Wei and the others left the workshop.
Xiao Yu glanced at his own little workshop behind him and sighed, "These past ten days have been tough, brothers. Now let's go back... Those who want to find wives, find wives. Those who don't, I'll treat you to Baoyue Tower!"
"real?"
"Then I'll go to Baoyue Tower first, and then go back to find my wife!"
"Your Highness is so kind, knowing we've been holding back for half a month..."
"Come on, come on, I haven't been to Baoyue Tower yet!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the soldiers immediately became excited, each one as if they had been injected with chicken blood, extremely enthusiastic.
Only Da Sha looked worried. After the guards went back to their rooms to pack their things, he walked over to Xiao Yu.
"Ersha, why would they go to a place like Baoyue Tower that harms people? And why are they so happy about it?"
Da Sha looked puzzled and wanted to advise Xiao Yu not to take his brothers to Baoyue Tower.
In Da Sha's mind, Bao Yue Lou was a place that only harmed people. If Xiao Yu hadn't intervened, Nian Nian would have been harmed by Bao Yue Lou.
"This... is hard to explain."
After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Xiao Yu could only say this.
Big Fool didn't have thoughts of love and romance in his mind, just as he didn't have those thoughts when he was still a fool.
It was Chu Tianjiao who, in order to climb the social ladder of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, took the initiative to lead Xiao Yu to experience the true meaning of life.
"Anyway, you'll understand soon if you go with us."
After saying that, Xiao Yu quickly added, "But you mustn't tell Niannian about this. If Niannian finds out, my wife will find out too..."
Although Shen Youyu is gentle and understanding, she won't treat you with the same sarcastic or unfriendly attitude as Jin Mulan and Liu Aoxue.
But if you can keep something like this a secret, you should.
"Then I'd better not go."
Da Sha shook his head and said seriously, "I don't want to lie to Niannian. If Niannian asks me, I will definitely tell you."
"???"
Xiao Yu thought about it and realized that was indeed the case; he should have Da Sha keep the secret and not reveal it.
But if I don't take Da Sha with me, I'll still be exposed... especially if Da Sha doesn't go, wouldn't that make me look even more lecherous?
"If Niannian asks, you'll definitely answer. But if Niannian doesn't ask, does that mean you don't need to answer?"
Xiao Yu tried to change Da Sha's way of thinking, gently guiding him, "She's not asking because she's waiting for you to be honest, right?"
Da Sha thought about it seriously for about ten seconds, then nodded and said, "It seems right."
"Then don't bring it up first."
Xiao Yu continued to coax him gently, saying, "After you return to the Prince's Mansion, just say you're back and talk about what happened in the workshop. Don't mention Baoyue Tower... Look, the brothers are all so happy. You don't want them to spoil the fun, do you?"
"Okay, I won't say."
Big Fool nodded seriously: "I'll listen to Second Fool."
"That's more like it!"
Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction.
If no one had brought it up, Yang Niannian would never have asked Da Sha, "Brother, did you go to Baoyue Tower?"
It's safe!
After the guards finished packing, Xiao Yu led his men on a grand procession...
"These guys not only took a shower, but also tidied up their appearance. Only Big Fool looked uninterested."
Xiao Yu rode his horse leisurely ahead.
It took more than an hour to walk from the outer city to the inner city... after all, everyone was walking.
"Let's eat something first, lest the brothers' legs give way before we even reach Baoyue Tower."
Xiao Yu had switched from riding a horse to leading it, and said, "It's time to eat, brothers, let's replenish our energy."
"Your Highness is so thoughtful!"
"Eat your fill quickly, so you'll have the energy to have fun with the young ladies..."
"A little alcohol will prolong your life!"
"Hehe, you know what you're doing!"
After a hearty meal and plenty of food, one begins to indulge in lustful desires.
The soldiers, having eaten and drunk their fill, had an almost palpable desire in their eyes and eagerly followed Xiao Yu to Baoyue Tower.
As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Yu saw a familiar figure.
"What a coincidence, brother."
Xiao Yu walked over to greet him, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, shouldn't this be your shift? How come you've gone missing while you were at Baoyue Tower?"
"brother?"
Murong Chong was somewhat surprised, but mostly happy: "Your injuries have healed? These people are..."
As she spoke, she looked curiously at the group of people behind Xiao Yu.
In his arms was a pretty young woman, but it wasn't Yue Die.
Changing your tastes?
Or will Yuedie stop paying attention to you after she gets the poem?
Xiao Yu was curious, but he didn't ask. Instead, he replied, "The brothers of the Xiao Royal Mansion have been busy forging weapons in the workshop and haven't touched a woman for more than ten days. Today, I'm bringing them out for team building."
Team building?
Murong Chong didn't understand the word, but he could vaguely grasp its meaning.
Then, he slapped the pert bottom of the young woman in his arms and whispered, "Go and tell Yue Die and Ning Xiang that Xiao Yu has come... Keep it low-key and don't let the other courtesans know."
"I see."
The pretty young woman rubbed her pert buttocks, feeling the pain of being hit, then got up and quickly walked upstairs.
"So you're Sister Yuedie's maid."
Xiao Yu sat down opposite Murong Chong, then said to Xiao Zhan and the others, "Please make yourselves at home. When Sister Yue Die and Ning Xiang come down, they'll arrange some ladies for you..."
