Chapter 180: Real Brother, Real Man
Chu Xiwang said calmly: "Only Emperor Xuanwen himself knows the specific purpose."
Xu Wenrong asked where the King of Nanhai was now.
Chu Xiwang looked at Xu Wenrong approvingly and said, "Emperor Xuanwen was rescued by the King of Nanhai and the Embroidered Uniform Guards. To express his gratitude, a banquet was held in the palace and all officials were invited to accompany him. He wanted to become brothers with the King of Nanhai."
Xie Yanyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Xiwang.
Chu Xiwang said slowly with a gentle expression, "The King of Nanhai was very happy and went to attend the palace banquet. However, he was hit by a carriage on the way to the palace, and his head was bleeding and he fell into a coma. His family was afraid that he would disturb the holy banquet, so they took him back to the King of Nanhai's fiefdom for treatment overnight."
Having said that, everyone knows what's going on.
Emperor Xuanwen probably took advantage of the opportunity when the King of Nanhai came to defend the country to kill him at the palace banquet. After all, if he wanted to enter the palace, he could only go alone and could not bring any weapons, so he could kill Zhou Xiaocheng directly without much effort.
The King of Nanhai was cunning and treacherous. He used the excuse of a car accident to execute the leader first and report later, and fled back to his fiefdom overnight! !
No one spoke for a while.
Chu Xi looked at Xie Yanyan and said, "There is something I should tell you."
"?"
"Huangfu Ming's house and rice shop in Kyoto have been robbed. He suspected that it was related to your father. He once organized the Cross Gate in the underworld and placed an order to kill your father. The person who accepted the order at the Cross Gate did not know the truth and accepted the order."
"So Huangfu Ming suspected that my father was responsible for the theft? Before his family property was confiscated and he was exiled, my father was just a guard. After he was exiled, he lost everything. How could he still have the mind to steal his property?"
"Later, he stopped doubting because Prince Xi told him that it was done by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. During Prince Xi's reign some time ago, the national treasury was suddenly looted. The wealth accumulated by the court for decades was gone, not even a copper coin was left. Huangfu Ming was sure that the theft had nothing to do with your father."
It is said that Emperor Xuanwen suspected that either Prince Xi embezzled the money and took it somewhere else, or Prince Nanhai took the opportunity to serve the emperor and took it away.
Xu Wenrong smiled and said, "The King of Nanhai is diligent in his work, and his diligence is not wrong."
"The people in the capital are in a panic now, and even the national treasury can be stolen. General Xie should not be able to do this."
Huangfu Ming finally withdrew his order from Shizimen.
Fortunately, the King of Nanhai was quick-witted and acted quickly, otherwise, Emperor Xuanwen would have blamed it on him long ago, and whether he had stolen it or not, it would have been considered theft.
As they were talking, the waiter poked his head out of the corridor and asked Qingshan, "Sir, would you like some food?"
Chu Xiwang said, "Serve the food."
There is so much to talk about in the world, and we can’t let Miss Xie starve.
The waiter got the message and brought out dish after dish. Most of them were Kyoto dishes, which were familiar to "Xie Yanyan", a Kyoto native. Each portion was not large, but basically there.
“There are too many dishes.”
“The portion is not large, so it’s not a waste.”
While eating, everyone didn't follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. When talking about Xie Yanyan's visit to Chencheng, Xie Yanyan did not hide it and said that she was invited by the prince to take over the Yuheng Salt Mine for the Nanhai Palace.
"You also know how to make salt?" Chu Xiwang was very surprised, "I thought you were only good at cooking."
“I understand a little bit about the principle, but I have never engaged in salt production.”
After hearing her words, Qingshan added, "Master, Miss Xie and Princess Xiyue had a salt-making competition, and Princess Xiyue lost."
Chu Xiwang remained calm, nodded, and said as a matter of course: "It's normal that Princess Xiyue can't compare to Miss Xie."
Xie Yanyan pricked up her ears to listen to their thoughts, but Chu Xiwang had nothing in his heart. Qingshan lowered his head and looked docile, but he was much more lively in his heart.
[This time, I invited Princess Xiyue in vain]
[If I had known that Miss Xie was an expert in salt making, why would I have gone so far?]
Xie Yanyan suddenly looked up and asked Chu Xiwang: "Brother Chu, do you know Hanlong Trading Company?"
Qingshan was shocked and wanted to say, "Master is not familiar with the salt industry," but Chu Xiwang nodded and said, "That is my property."
Even Xu Wenrong was shocked.
The Hanlong Company is very mysterious. Many times, people have tried to find out who is behind it, but couldn't find out. It turns out to be Chu Xiwang?
Xie Yanyan was very satisfied with this. Chu Xiwang was an upright man!
She was not deceived and she was very happy.
"Brother Chu, did you invite Princess Xiyue to compete in the ring match, or did the Nanzhong Palace cooperate with Hanlong to take over the salt mine?"
"Work together to take over the salt mine."
The two were rivals in the competition, so they avoided talking about the competition. Chu Xiwang looked at Xu Wenrong and asked him if he was interested in becoming an official.
Xu Wenrong shook his head: "I just want to be with my sister and spend the exile safely."
That means he still doesn't want to be used by anyone, so Chu Xiwang didn't force him.
After the meal, Chu Xiwang and Xie Yanyan didn't say much. Chu Xiwang politely sent Xie Yanyan back and told her to rest early.
Zhou Tu and his gang were still playing cards, they were all addicted to the game. Xie Yanyan said, "You guys play, I'll go get ready."
Zhou Tu and others immediately changed rooms and played with the door closed for fear of disturbing her.
Xie Yanyan closed the door, sat at the table, and pulled Xiaomei out.
"Xiao Mei, exchange for three oxen, a curved plow, a shovel, a spade, and other farm tools."
[Three oxen, including two cows and one bull, and 8 tons of hay and silage required for the three cows for half a year. The exchange is successful]
[Farming tools: hoe, shovel, rake, curved plow, exchange successful]
[Transportation tools: human-powered carrying pole, single-wheeled wooden cart, wooden-wheeled ox cart, manure cart, exchange successful]
[Agricultural and sideline products processing tools: simple rice thresher, stone mill, traditional oil press, traditional sugar press, exchange successful]
[Harvesting tools: sickle, pedal thresher, grain sieve, grain rake, winnowing basket, etc., exchanged successfully]
Xie Yanyan: Xiaomei is becoming more and more likable.
[Can I give Xiaomei one pill from Gufang Pharmaceutical? 】
It really doesn’t deserve praise!
"Just take any pill you want!"
[Take one pill of the ancient prescription Jin Fang An Shen Wan, and the exchange is successful]
Xie Yanyan: I knew Xiaomei would choose this!
She became more and more certain that the other end of the space exchange was the modern era a thousand years later, perhaps it was the scientific research institution from her previous life.
Who in ancient times suffered from kidney disease?
"Xiao Mei, send the above oxen and tools to the yard of my home in Boluo County."
[Successful redemption, scan and move items at Xie Anfeng's home in the military reclamation camp residential area of Boluo County, only once a day, valid for 10 minutes]
At this time, my sister-in-law is the only one at home. My father and brother should be working in the fields.
She immediately scanned her home and found that her sister-in-law was not there. This was troublesome. No one was at home, and she didn't dare to turn around. It would be troublesome if someone stole it.
[5 minutes left]
There is only one chance a day. If you don’t turn it today, you will have to wait until tomorrow.
Suddenly she saw Miao Guang walking towards the yard from a distance, carrying a medicine box on his back.
"Xiaomei, move immediately."
【Transfer successful】
The three cows, eight tons of feed, and various farm tools exchanged in the space all disappeared in an instant.
Miao Guang ran excitedly to Xie's yard from outside, and was stunned as soon as he entered the yard.
He turned around and ran to the field.
