Chapter 133 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Xue Chen remained unchanged in the face of change, still holding his chest, the ups and downs of his breathing were more obvious than usual, and he looked at his brother in silence.
Gong Jiu seemed to be afraid of scaring him, so he spoke very softly, but the words he said were enough to raise his blood pressure.
"I have always missed you, but you seem to be indifferent to everything. I hope that big brother treats me better, just like I treat big brother."
Gong Jiu's expression was still cold, maintaining a distance from his brother: "You should be very clear about what I did. One day, big brother will have to choose between me and him. Your treatment of me will make me feel that he is more important in big brother's heart."
Xue Chen only hated that his body was conditioned too well by the system, and he did not faint in this situation.
What sin had he committed to make him choose between his father and his brother?
Gong Jiu: "I know, I let you down."
Xue Chen held his hand tightly, and after a while he calmed down his breath and spoke weakly: "It shouldn't be like this."
Gong Jiu: "That man is right. Although you are the elder brother, you have always stayed in the palace and rarely interacted with others. You have a simple and clear mind and don't understand the evil of human hearts. I have seen more and am more mature than you. Brother, listen to me in the future, okay?"
Xue Chen released the system: [It turned out that my father was stabbing you in the back!]
System: [Ah, what should I do?]
Xue Chen: [Don't panic, it's easy to deal with once you know the reason. I'll beat him up first to vent my anger. 】
System:【No...】
Xue Chen raised his hand and slapped him hard.
Gong Jiu turned his head away, raised his hand and pursed his lips: "Why are you angry, brother?"
Xue Chen looked at him coldly: "You ask me why?"
Gong Jiu: "I really don't understand."
Xue Chen got up and walked outside. When he reached the door and looked back, he saw Gong Jiu still standing there. He said coldly: "Why don't you come over here."
Gong Jiu came behind him in small steps.
Xue Chen:【Did you see it? My words are still useful. Even if he says he wants to disobey me, his actual actions are still the same as before.】
System:【What if his behavior becomes tough too?】
Xue Chen:【Then I can only pray that my body has almost recovered and I can practice peerless martial arts to compete with him. If I can't compete, then I will threaten him with death and wait for the vest to rescue me. But don't worry, it will never come to that. I will control him now. 】
System: [I can't imagine how you are going to break the impasse. 】
Xue Chen: [Just wait and see. 】
After coming out of the house, someone from the front yard came over: "Eldest Young Master, Prince, there are guests in the mansion today. The prince invites you to have dinner in front."
"Tell dad that it won't work today." Xue Chen said coldly, turning back to look at Gong Jiu, "Get out of here."
Gong Jiu took a few steps forward and walked out of the yard with his eldest brother.
Everyone in the palace knew that the eldest young master was gentle and kind, and rarely got angry. Suddenly seeing him speak in such a heavy tone, they were immediately shocked. The
eldest young master and the prince looked exactly the same, but there was a slight difference in temperament. The two were dressed completely differently, and it was easy to distinguish them.
The eldest son spoke to the prince like this, I'm afraid the two brothers had a conflict.
I don't know what the prince did to make the usually gentle eldest son so angry.
The servant returned to the front, came to the side of the King of Taiping, whispered a few words in his ear, and told him everything he saw.
"These two children..." The King of Taiping shook his head helplessly, and said to Lu Xiaofeng and others: "Chen'er and Lian'er have things to do, and they can't come out to meet guests for the time being. Please bear with me."
Lu Xiaofeng: "What a pity, I have heard that the two young masters of your mansion look the same, and they are both very outstanding peers. I originally wanted to visit them in person, but I didn't expect that I would have no chance. In this case, I can only do it another day."
The King of Taiping had a good impression of Lu Xiaofeng and responded kindly.
He was even more fond of Yun Heyan and raised his glass: "Your achievements on the battlefield are obvious to all. I wanted to recommend credit for you, but I didn't expect you to leave like this. If you stayed in the army and joined forces with Rui'er, you would be worth thousands of troops and might be able to turn the tide at a critical moment."
Yun Heyan said lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Taiping finished his wine and said: "Where did you go after leaving the army? Are you settled now?"
Yun Heyan: "I came to the palace for this matter."
Prince Taiping thought Yun Heyan was going to join him and his eyes were filled with expectation.
Yun Heyan: "I used to be a killer in Qingyi Building. Because of the harsh treatment by the upper management and dissatisfaction with the rules of the building, I killed the chief boss a few days ago. Now Qingyi Building is leaderless and needs a helmsman. I wonder if the prince is willing to take over?"
Taiping King asked calmly: "Since you have killed the chief boss, why don't you take the position of the boss yourself?"
Yun Heyan: "I am idle Yun Yehe I am used to it, I don’t like being constrained, and I don’t want to take the trouble to manage it. What’s more, I don’t know anything about what’s going on in the building. Even if I take over now, the people below may not be convinced, and I have to go through some turmoil before I can really use it for my own benefit. I don’t know many people well, and you are the only one who is capable of taking over Qingyi Building."
Lu Xiaofeng was very moved. Yun Heyan's performance has far exceeded his expectations.
Yun Heyan used to be reliable at times, but he always had an attack at critical moments, and once he had an attack, he would be unconscious and couldn't listen to anyone.
Who would have thought that he would be so normal at times?
Prince Taiping: "Qingyilou is a killer organization. As far as I know, killing is a very lucrative business. If I accept this force, I can only place them in the army. The army is hard and the military pay is not as good as before. They will definitely find it difficult to accept it. I am afraid something bad will happen."
Yun Heyan: "It is not necessary to join the army."
Prince Taiping: "What do you think?"
Yun Heyan: "Your Majesty's prestige in the army is already very high. The big bank has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there are more than 10,000 uncontrollable people. But you have never set foot in the world of martial arts. You have no one else to use except those soldiers."
He said it very bluntly, and Lu Xiaofeng's heart was lifted.
Some things are better known to each other, and there is no need to say them out loud.
If you have to say it, you must leave room for the other party.
Prince Taiping didn't care much about these. He seemed to be testing Yun Heyan and kept asking questions to induce him to continue: "So what?"
Yun Heyan: "The power in the capital is complicated. Cai Jing has Liufenbantang, Zhuge Zhengwo has Jinfengxiyulou, Youqiao Group also has many powerful masters, and there are also various small forces trying to fish in troubled waters. If they want to make a move on you, how will you respond?"
Prince Taiping remained silent.
Yun Heyan: "How should the eldest son and the prince deal with it?"
The Taiping King smiled and said, "There are many killers in the Qingyi Building, but their martial arts are not that strong."
Yun Heyan: "But the Qingyi Building has been standing in the martial arts world for decades. If you want to kill people, in addition to martial arts, the most important thing is intelligence."
The Taiping King: "Not bad."
Yun Heyan: "If you don't want it, I can only abandon the building and leave. Anyway, I have to give it up."
The Taiping King: "If I am willing to take over the Qingyi Building, will you stay?"
Yun Heyan: "You want me to work for you?"
The Taiping King: "Not bad."
Yun Heyan pondered for a moment: "Okay."
System: [Did you agree to this? What if your father calls you to the battlefield? 】
Xue Chen: [No, Xiao Mian uses a knife, which is suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield. Da Mian uses a sword, which is not suitable for group attacks or close combat. I am more likely to return to the main body when I work for him. With Da Mian, the safety of the main body is guaranteed, and it will be much easier to teach my brother then. 】
System: […Don’t forget your original intention. 】
Xue Chen brought Gong Jiu to the storehouse.
The storehouse of the Taiping Palace is very large, and the items inside are classified and arranged in an orderly manner. With the help of the book, it is very convenient to find anything.
However, under normal circumstances, the masters of the palace rarely come here. If they need something, they can just ask the servants to come and get it. Usually, only the housekeeper and the person who specializes in managing the storehouse are here.
Xue Chen didn't come here often, only occasionally to take a look. Most of the time, the butler would bring him various accounts and lists, and he would make arrangements according to his words after he finished the calculations. Gong
Jiu looked around when he saw the completely unfamiliar room.
He didn't know the way at all, and didn't know where this was. If his eldest brother left him, he might have to wander around for several days before he could get out.
Gong Jiu thought, if this could make his eldest brother calm down, it wouldn't hurt to stay here for a few days.
Xue Chen ordered someone to open the lock and enter the warehouse.
Gong Jiu followed in: "Brother, why did you bring me here?"
Xue Chen pointed to a box in front: "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent by Li Wen Zheng. Inside is a pair of coral ornaments. Do you know him?"
Gong Jiu thought for a while: "No."
Xue Chen: "Prince Zhongzheng Li Lu, with a courtesy name Wen Zheng, is the adopted son of Lord Li Bangyan. He was the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen. He has made great contributions to flood control and once blocked the Jin army in the north of Jizhou, supporting the country. You don't even know such a person?"
Gong Jiu: "I know Prince Zhongzheng, but I forgot his courtesy name."
Xue Chen: "Mr. Li sent a gift. If it were you, how would you return the gift?"
Gong Jiu: "Li Bangyan has always been at odds with Cai Jing. If it were me, I would definitely return a large sum of money to win him over..."
He stopped halfway through his words.
Xue Chen looked at him coldly: "Do you still want to put the palace to death?"
Gong Jiu looked back quietly.
Xue Chen: "I wanted to tell you that even if I rarely leave the palace, just doing these things is enough to understand the power in the capital. Do you really think I know nothing and stay in the yard all day waiting to die?"
Gong Jiu: "Brother, I..."
Xue Chen: "Daddy loves you, so he said that to you. How has he treated you badly over the years? Ask yourself, who in the palace has treated you badly?"
Gong Jiu was silent.
Xue Chen: "You disappoint me so much."
Gong Jiu said softly: "There is no turning back for me."
Xue Chen: "You promised to listen to me and let me lead the way for you. Did you lie to me?"
Gong Jiu: "I dare not lie to my elder brother."
Xue Chen: "Really?"
Gong Jiu went forward and hugged him. He did not say anything, but Xue Chen understood what he meant.
They were brothers who understood each other. Was Gong Jiu lying or making a serious promise? As a brother, couldn't he tell?
Xue Chen's expression eased a little: "I won't force you, and you don't force me."
Gong Jiu let go of his brother: "Okay."
Xue Chen: "You said you were willing to listen to me."
Gong Jiu: "Yes."
Xue Chen: "Don't you think I'm simply ignorant?"
Gong Jiu: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been rude to my brother. I made him sad."
He regretted it very much. He actually believed that man's lies!
Xue Chen: [See, I said it can be done. You can still fool him by presenting facts and reasoning.]
System: [Why don't you tell him that your father was wronged?]
Xue Chen: [With my brother's intelligence, he should have guessed it long ago, but he invested too much and dared not think about this possibility. He could only look for clues to prove that he was right. If he is exposed directly, his life will become a joke, and he will never be able to face me and my father again. With his pride, he would die without Lu Xiaofeng beating him. 】
System: [No wonder you don’t want to talk in depth.]
Xue Chen: [Dealing with snails is not an easy task.]
Gong Jiu looked at the things in the warehouse: "Brother, can you really remember who sent everything here?"
Xue Chen smiled: "Everything in the palace must go through my hands, and some of the return gifts are drafted by me personally. It would be strange if he can’t remember."
Gong Jiu: "Brother has been amazing since he was a child. In this regard, I can’t compare with you."
Xue Chen nodded his forehead: "Isn’t it, diagonal."
