Chapter 424 Asking for Credit
What kind of luck is this?
If you save any random person on the road, he is the unlucky prince that the emperor has left behind?
Chu Yang really rescued the man casually. He was on his way to Jizhou at full speed when he saw several people surrounding and killing a person in a prison van. He had no choice but to meddle.
Those assassins were so stupid.
In broad daylight, in night clothes, he assassinated the man and almost carved the words "wrongly accused" on his face.
The person was already locked in a prison van, yet they still wanted to kill him. Isn't it obvious that they are afraid that he will seek justice and want to get rid of him as soon as possible?
Chu Yang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he tightened the reins and jumped off the horse. He casually drew the soft sword from his waist and killed all the black-clad assassins without leaving a single one alive.
After killing the man, he jumped on his horse and continued on his way.
Xiao Huaijin wanted to thank him, but before he could say anything, Chu Yang had already ridden away on his horse.
Chu Yang was in a hurry to get on the road. The son of the Left Prime Minister was not a good person. Xie Jingyu trusted him and gave him the task. If he messed up, the emperor would not only punish him, but Xie Jingyu would also be implicated.
It would be fine if he was punished, but Xie Jingyu must not be implicated. He must leave on time and not give Young Master Du any reason to talk.
As for saving people—
It was just a small favor, and he never thought about being rewarded.
Besides, they are all imprisoned and can barely protect themselves, so how can they talk about repaying you?
But he didn't expect that the person he saved was Prince Ling, so he had to give him a meal.
Chu Yang said, "You have to buy me a drink."
Xiao Huaijin, "..."
Xiao Huaijin looked at Xie Jingyu.
The brothers that my brother-in-law knows are all more lively than each other, and it is very pleasant to get along with them.
He and the emperor are father and son. He goes to the imperial study to pay his respects every day, but he doesn't talk as casually as Chu Yang does when they spend half a cup of tea together. It would be great if he could learn to be more friendly someday.
Xiao Huaijin felt that he was extremely lucky.
Although he knew martial arts, he was locked in a prison van and shackled, so he couldn't use his skills at all. If Chu Yang hadn't passed by and rescued him, he would never have been able to enter Beijing alive.
On the way to Beijing, I found two saviors. It was so easy to find one of them. I hope I can meet the other one too.
Xiao Huaijin nodded.
Chu Yang said, "It's better to host a dinner today than to choose a day. Let's do it today. Brother Jing Yu will come with us."
It was time for lunch, so the three of them left the study and went to Deyue Tower.
When they arrived at Deyue Tower, both upstairs and downstairs were filled with diners. Xiao Huaijin said to the owner of Deyue Tower, "I want a private room..."
The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, sir, you're late. There are no private rooms upstairs."
Xiao Huaijin turned around and didn't see Chu Yang and Xie Jingyu. Chu Yang, who had already gone up the stairs, glanced down and said, "Come up."
Xiao Huaijin, "......???"
Aren’t there no private rooms?
What are you doing upstairs?
Xiao Huaijin followed and went up to the second floor, and then heard the sound of Prince Yuzhang playing finger-guessing games with others.
"You lose, it's your treat today."
"Best of three."
The other voice was that of Prince Yong.
Chu Yang pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile, "You two stop arguing, I'll take you guys to dinner today."
Prince Yuzhang came over, hooked his arm around Chu Yang's shoulder and said, "I've gained a lot of face since leaving the capital. I can actually get Brother Jingyu to not stay in the mansion to accompany the Crown Prince's wife for dinner, but to come and eat with us."
Chu Yang said, "It's not my face, it's Prince Ling's face."
"Prince Ling is treating us."
Prince Yuzhang immediately let go of Chu Yang and put his arm around Xiao Huaijin's shoulders instead, "You are still very respectable."
Wherever they are, there is always a lot of fun. They can play finger-guessing games or even a plate of peanuts.
I had a very enjoyable meal.
Xiao Huaijin was happy and drank two more glasses, getting drunk.
When he came out of Deyue Tower, he was blown by the wind and saw a man riding on horseback. It was his other savior.
Xiao Huaijin shook his head twice and rubbed his eyes.
The person is still there.
It's not my eyes.
Xiao Huaijin pointed at the man and looked at Xie Jingyu with a somewhat excited expression, "He, he..."
Young Master Shen was returning home from the military camp and passed by Deyue Tower. When he saw Xie Jingyu and the others, he had to say hello, and then he saw Xiao Huaijin pointing at him.
Young Master Shen felt that this person looked familiar at first sight, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before.
Chu Yang patted Xiao Huaijin's shoulder and said, "This is my uncle."
In one sentence, Young Master Shen's fists started itching.
His sister hasn't even married yet?!
But they already have a child and the wedding date has been set, so he is definitely his uncle.
Xiao Huaijin said, "The other person who saved me was him."
He actually found his two saviors within one day.
Xiao Huaijin was extremely happy.
Xie Jingyu was a little surprised, but he felt it was reasonable. Young Master Shen went to find Chu Yang to pursue his sister. If Chu Yang met Xiao Huaijin, then Young Master Shen would naturally meet him as well.
But I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence. Chu Yang saved Xiao Huaijin once, and Young Master Shen saved him again.
It is really a blessing and a long life.
However, Xie Jingyu felt that the most mysterious thing was his Crown Prince's Consort. If Shen Wan had not wanted to match Shen Ling and Chu Yang, he would not have asked Chu Yang, and Chu Yang would not have rushed back to Beijing. Finally, on the way to Jizhou, he encountered an assassin who wanted to kill Xiao Huaijin. If Shen Ling did not chase him, Young Master Shen would not have left Beijing to find his sister and saved Xiao Huaijin's life.
When he heard the word "help," Young Master Shen remembered, "It's you."
Young Master Shen was not as anxious as Chu Yang. He still saw Xiao Huaijin sitting in the prison car clearly and had some impression of him.
Young Master Shen looked at Xie Jingyu and Prince Yuzhang standing on either side of Xiao Huaijin and said, "Do you know them all?"
Prince Yuzhang laughed and said, "Who is the one who came to the capital in a prisoner's carriage? I wonder who it is?"
Young Master Shen reacted, "Prince Ling?"
"That's him."
Xiao Huaijin said, "I was still wondering when I could find another lifesaver, but I didn't expect that my wish would come true so soon."
"I'll treat you tomorrow and thank you very much."
I learn very quickly.
Very smart.
But that’s not enough.
After Prince Yuzhang and the others left, Xie Jingyu instructed Xiao Huaijin, "You have your own mansion, so you can entertain guests there. Ask the emperor to lend you a royal chef and a few more jars of good wine."
Xiao Huaijin felt that Xie Jingyu's arrangement was excellent. Treating guests to an imperial meal showed his sincerity.
After entering the palace, I found that this matter was not simple.
Xiao Huaijin asked the emperor to borrow the imperial kitchen and some fine wine. The emperor was delighted that his son, after so long recognizing his ancestral roots, had finally asked his father for something. It was truly not easy. The emperor casually asked, "Why are you treating us?"
Xiao Huaijin said truthfully, "On the way to the capital, I encountered two assassination attempts. Today I learned that the people who saved me were the Marquis of Linjiang and the eldest son of General Yunhui's mansion, Shen."
"I will treat them to a meal to thank them for saving my life."
On the way to Beijing, Xiao Huaijin was assassinated and almost died. Old Master Pei told the emperor about this. The emperor did not expect that the people who saved Xiao Huaijin were Chu Yang and Young Master Shen.
The two saved Xiao Huaijin's life. It would be fine if the emperor didn't know about it, but now that he knows, how could he not reward him?
The emperor immediately asked someone to draft an edict.
Only then did Xiao Huaijin realize that Xie Jingyu's request for him to ask the emperor for wine was just a pretext. He actually wanted him to ask for a reward for Chu Yang and Young Master Shen.
The rewards were quickly delivered to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion and the Yunhui General Mansion.
Marquis Linjiang and General Shen were both more confused than the other.
Especially the Marquis of Linjiang, his unreliable son, who not only completed the task assigned by the emperor and investigated the Jizhou granary water leakage case, but also saved Prince Ling's life...
His son has not yet entered the court as an official, but his achievements are almost catching up with his.
Marquis Linjiang, “…”
