Chapter 169 Jin丨Jiang Wenxue Exclusive Release (47,000 nutrient solution plus update)
The young man took his hand and tapped the words on the paper. He looked at Wanyan Kang with bright eyes and urged him silently.
In the past, when he was in Zhao Wangfu, Wanyan Kang had clearly touched him. Now there was no gender barrier, but he was extremely nervous. His whole body was stiff, as if he was stupid, and he kept this posture motionless.
Xue Chen: [Hehe, you are very open when teasing a little girl, but why do you get scared when it comes to a man?]
System: [Why does a good person have a mouth! You have messed up the atmosphere!]
Xue Chen: [Where is the mouth? Xiao Liu is dumb.]
System: […]
Sometimes I really don’t want to live in the same brain with him.
Liu Yixuan took drugs when he was in the speed room, and his body has always maintained the slimness of a teenager, looking much smaller than his peers. There is no sense of incongruity in doing this to Wanyan Kang, who is in his teens. Instead, it seems like he is acting coquettishly.
Wanyan Kang blushed slightly and shook his hand away: "Don't shout, I won't shout, no matter what you do, I won't speak."
Liu Yixuan lowered his head and wrote a few words: Do you dislike me?
Wanyan Kang turned his face away: "No."
Liu Yixuan wrote a few more words and brought the paper in front of him. Wanyan Kang turned his head again and refused to communicate with him.
Liu Yixuan shook the bell on his waist.
Wanyan Kang lowered his head and said softly, "How can I shout at you when you are like this?"
Liu Yixuan's eyes became dim.
Xue Chen: [He despises me!]
System: [Why do I feel that he is shy?]
Xue Chen: [He definitely despises me. He was so affectionate when we were in the palace before. He was the one who showed his courtesy to Xiao Liu when he was injured. I still treated him as my younger brother. It turns out that he was attracted by Xiao Liu's beauty!]
System: [Xiao Liu's face has not changed.]
Xue Chen: [But my gender has changed, and my social status has changed! I am useless now!]
System: [Is this what it means to be useless...]
Xue Chen: [Don't worry about it.]
System: [...]
Xue Chen: [He is unwilling to shout now, but he will definitely regret it in the future!]
System: [Ah? 】
Xue Chen:【I have exposed his life story. Don’t think that Kang’er has been acting like nothing happened these days. He must have been thinking about it in his heart. He didn’t dare to confront Wanyan Honglie, but that doesn’t mean he has forgotten about it. After returning, Kang’er will definitely ask my godmother. My godmother has been hiding the truth from him for eighteen years. She has always felt very uncomfortable. With Qiu Chuji urging her, she will definitely not continue to deceive him if she has the chance to tell the truth.】
System:【Then he knew the truth four or five years in advance. Can he bear it?】
Xue Chen:【He is young, so he can still be saved. He has so many little thoughts and is very good at pretending. When he gets older, he will really be unable to change. Wanyan
Kang expected that his life would not be easy after returning to Beijing. Wanyan Honglie had done so many wrong things that he would definitely be questioned by the emperor.
But he could never have imagined that something that could really change his life was waiting for him.
Liu Yixuan was soft-hearted and did not force him to change his words, so the matter was left unresolved.
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom immediately set off to return. Wanyan Honglie was no longer as high-spirited as when he came, and looked much more tired and haggard.
Liu Yixuan ordered people to prepare several suitable clothes and send them to Wanyan Kang.
He put on a gentle look and gestured to Wanyan Kang that these clothes were bought by him personally, and he must remember to wear them.
Wanyan Kang didn't understand.
He had no shortage of clothes, and Wanyan Honglie was proficient in Chinese studies and had a high degree of acceptance of the culture of Xingguo. They usually wore Han clothing. Compared with his usual attire, the clothes Liu Yixuan sent were ordinary, even a little shabby.
But he still accepted the clothes and thanked him politely: "Thank you very much. In this world, besides my mother, you are the only one who cares about my food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Liu Yixuan slowly made a mouth shape: I am your brother.
Wanyan Kang: "How can a brother do these things."
Liu Yixuan stuffed the clothes into his luggage and pushed him to let him go quickly.
System: [Why did you give him this? ]
Xue Chen: [After leaving Prince Zhao's Mansion, he will be an ordinary civilian. How can he afford to wear silk and satin? This is called preparing for a rainy day. Once he leaves home, he will understand my painstaking efforts! 】
System: [Why didn’t you prepare tools for begging for him in advance? 】
Xue Chen: [He will not be reduced to begging. 】
System: [……]
Liu Yixuan went out of the city to see Yan Kang and others off. As soon as the Jin people left, he changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, dispatched troops, rode on the Milky Way, took enough food and grass, and set off for Gong Jiu.
-
During the few days when the original body followed Gong Jiu everywhere, Yu Qi was not idle.
He disguised himself as the original body, met with Yuan Feishuang every few days, and was quite friendly to Cai Jing.
King Taiping talked to him several times, asking him not to get too close to Cai Jing and be careful of being used by others.
Yu Qi agreed every time, but he still did his own thing and didn't take the words of the King of Taiping to heart.
Later, Yun Heyan sent some more stones, and Yu Qi brought the Taihu stones to the palace to meet Zhao Ji, and showed his presence in front of Zhao Ji several times. He also took advantage of the power of the King of Taiping to get the actual position of the Deputy Director of the Southern Department of the Ministry of War. The Daxing has
always valued civil officials over military officials. Although the six-department system was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, it actually did not have much power. In the early days, even the Minister of War was a temporary official, with an official title and salary, but no actual position.
This situation did not change until the reign of Emperor Shenzong. Most military power still belonged to the Privy Council. The Ministry of War was in charge of military registration, maps, weapons, etc., as well as the names of the garrison troops, local troops, native troops, and foreign troops.
The Ministry of War had a total of four departments, divided into the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Driving, and the Ministry of Treasury.
The Ministry of War was the headquarters, and it could be in charge of almost everything related to the Ministry of War. Yuanwailang was a sixth-rank position. There were a total of two quotas in the first department, one in charge of the military examination, and the other was the Southern Cao, which was responsible for reviewing the data files of candidates.
Because Yuqi and Cai Jing were close during this period, Cai Jing did not put too much obstacles in this matter, so Yuqi was able to smoothly enter such an important position.
After getting the actual position, Yuqi was qualified to
go to court. He received the official position and temporarily replaced the original body in the Ministry of War.
Prince Taiping learned about this from his colleagues. He was very surprised because everyone thought that he had pushed his son to this position. After careful inquiry, he found out that the eldest son did borrow his name.
He hurried home from the army, and there was no one at home.
The younger son had no idea where he had gone, and the eldest son had already changed into an official robe and went to the Ministry of War to take office.
-System
: [Shouldn't Xiao Liu wear a purple official uniform? Why do you always wear red? 】
Liu Yixuan rode a horse and led the army forward.
Xue Chen: [Don't mention Xiao Liu's rank, I'm ashamed.]
System: [Didn't you fight for this yourself?]
Xue Chen: [Indeed, but Xiao Liu has completely become a vassal of Tong Guan, sharing the same mouthpiece with him. No matter how high his rank is, he has no confidants of his own. I follow my boss all day long, and I am just a deputy. Everything I can mobilize is given by Tong Guan. Except for etiquette, it is not much different from a ninth-rank official.]
Wei Shaoning looked ahead: "Sir, Xingzhou is ahead."
Liu Yixuan nodded, and he also saw the boundary marker in the distance.
He made a gesture, indicating Wei Shaoning to let the army stop and rest for a while.
Liu Yixuan brought out a total of 2,000 people, which was not a large number, but they were definitely well-armed. He even brought several boxes of his newly developed smoke bombs.
The troops stayed where they were. Liu Yixuan dismounted, took out a piece of maltose from his sleeve, put it in his palm and fed it to Yinhe.
Yinhe licked the candy and rubbed it on him.
At the same time, Qingtan arrived in Xingzhou.
His cloth bag was already full of money and he couldn't put any more. He stopped selling paintings and sold the painting tools and the remaining pigments at a low price. Qingtan set out to find Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu set up a code word, which made it extremely difficult for the original body to be disguised. A surveillance camera had to be installed next to him to continue.
Qingtan had nothing to do, and he had a good relationship with Gong Jiu, so he could do this.
He went to the grain store to buy some rice, piled it on the side of the road, and found a wooden board, wrote the words "give away rice" on it, and inserted it into the rice bag.
People were coming and going here, and soon someone noticed him.
An idle man came over and asked, "Little master, are you going to make a donation?"
Qingtan put his hands together and said, "Yes."
The idle man smiled and said, "My family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Just give me this bag of rice to save you the trouble here."
After that, he reached out to grab the sack.
Qingtan raised his hand slightly and slapped his wrist.
His [Palm Technique] had reached the maximum level, and he only used two points of strength to stop the strong man's action.
The man cried out in pain, rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arm was already red and swollen.
Qingtan: "Amitabha."
The man shouted: "You monk, why are you so unreasonable? It was obviously you who wanted to give me the rice, why did you do this to me!"
Qingtan smiled and said kindly: "Donor, say another word."
The man shouted: "Just say it! Can you kill people!"
Qingtan showed no mercy this time, grabbed his pulse point with force, and twisted his shoulder with his other hand.
He picked up the rope that tied the sack on the ground, tied the man's hands behind his back, kicked his legs, and when he fell to the ground, he took out a small piece of rope and tied his feet. He
tore off a piece of clothing and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
Qingtan's movements were gentle and his tone was soft: "Monks are compassionate, and you are so lucky."
The idle man widened his eyes and looked at him angrily as he stammered.
Qingtan said helplessly: "Donor, be quiet, otherwise I can only think of a way to let you sleep for a while."
The man immediately stopped shouting.
Qingtan came behind the rice bag and saw a group of pedestrians gathered on the side of the road, so he called them over to get the rice.
He had a gentle face, and seemed to have a Buddha nature. He punished the evildoers and was willing to give out food. Not long after, a little beggar came forward with courage: "Master, can I take some?"
Qingtan: "Of course."
He asked the beggar to open his clothes, scooped two large spoons of rice and put them in his arms, and gently reminded him: "If anyone dares to steal, come and tell me, I will do justice for you."
The beggar wanted to kowtow to him: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
After the first one, there was a second one. Not long after, a long queue formed here, and it maintained a very subtle silence. No one dared to speak loudly.
Qingtan was very satisfied with the quality of these people. After one bag of rice was distributed, he went to buy another bag. This time he put it directly next to it for passers-by to take. He sat on the ground and meditated with his legs crossed.
There was a lot of commotion here. Qingtan had tied up a person and was lying on the ground. It didn't take long for Gong Jiu to hear about it. After
Qingtan divided the rice, he packed up the empty sacks and put them directly on the captives' heads.
Gong Jiu saw his movements from a distance and walked towards him slowly: "I didn't know that Master Qingtan could do such a thing."
Qingtan grabbed the end of the sack and lifted it up with force. The other end of the sack still fell to the ground. The person inside was upside down with his chest pressed against the ground. He was dragged by Qingtan for a distance and struggled hard.
Qingtan seemed to be unaware of anything. He performed a Buddhist salute with one hand: "There is no fixed law."
Gong Jiu: "..."
"Dharma" in Buddhism refers to the method leading to "Buddha".
Everyone's Dharma is different. All Dharmas are within oneself.
Qingtan used this sentence to explain, and it seemed that something was wrong. After thinking carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Gong Jiu asked curiously: "What are you going to do with him?"
Qingtan: "Take him to travel together until this donor sincerely repents."
The man in the sack screamed even louder.
Gong Jiu's eyes were complicated: "I thought monks didn't like to argue with others and would give in when faced with problems. Now it seems that I am narrow-minded."
Qingtan: "The prince is not narrow-minded."
Gong Jiu: "Really?"
Qingtan: "You just have no wisdom and too many prejudices. You must know that everything is changing and unchanging, but nothing is eternal."
Gong Jiu: "What if I don't want to change?"
Qingtan: "Resentment and hatred meet, and hatred and separation. Life is long, happiness is short-lived, and it will pass in a flash. Good people and things will always leave, but those unsatisfactory things will always accompany people. The more you insist, the more bitter you will feel."
Xue Chen: [Why do I have to give him psychological counseling every time I see him? I don't want to argue with him at all. What do you say I put another sack over his head? 】
He gave away two large bags of rice in total, so there were two sacks.
System: [You are calm! ]
Qingtan glanced at the sack next to him, and then looked at Gong Jiu: [Forget it, he has a mysophobia. ]
System: [...If he didn't have a mysophobia, you would really put a sack on him, right? ]
Qingtan dragged the sack in front of Gong Jiu: "Are you feeling better?"
Gong Jiu was in a trance.
For some reason, he actually saw some of his brother's shadow in Qingtan.
It seems that he and his brother have been separated for too long, and he is always thinking about him in his heart, so he keeps thinking about him.
Gong Jiu: "Same as always."
Qingtan: "Heart disease needs heart medicine."
Gong Jiu: "The person who can heal me is dead."
System: [He actually knows the reason. 】
Xue Chen: [My brother is very smart. You can't treat him as an ordinary kid.]
System: [……]
Incurable brother complex!
Xue Chen: [He not only knows how this quirk came about, but also knows clearly that he may have misunderstood my father, but just doesn't want to admit it.]
System: [This I remember, he is a snail.]
Qingtan dragged the sack with an indifferent expression, walking side by side with Gong Jiu.
Pedestrians on the road cast all kinds of looks.
Gong Jiu: "Can you let him go?"
Qingtan smiled slightly: "He is your subordinate."
Gong Jiu: "He is indeed my man, but I wouldn't come here specially for such a small minion."
Qingtan: "You came for me."
Gong Jiu: "If you don't want to let him go, just kill him."
Stop dragging like this!
System: [It's like dragging a suitcase. How could you do such a thing without batting an eyelid!]
Xue Chen: [I am a pervert.]
System: […]
Qingtan let go, squatted down and untied the rope on the man's feet, and said to Gong Jiu: "Are you satisfied now?"
The man in the sack squirmed left and right, and stood up with the strength of his feet, but his hands were still tied behind his back and he couldn't use them at all. He could only run around with the big sack on his head, scaring the children on the street.
Gong Jiu: "...If this is a punishment, it is too humiliating."
Qingtan smiled: "I was also embarrassed when he stole my things. This is giving him a taste of his own medicine. What's more, I didn't hurt him, and his face was covered, so no one could recognize his identity."
System: [But didn't those people recognize him when you were distributing rice?]
Xue Chen: [Oh, that doesn't matter. I hadn't started to humiliate him then. Now that he's in a sack, who can recognize him? They are basically two different people!]
System: [...]
Gong Jiu looked at him with an indescribable look: "Master is really... wise."
Qingtan: "You're welcome, Prince."
This time, Gong Jiu seemed to have just come over and glanced at him, without taking the initiative to ask him to stay.
But Qingtan was very calm and followed Gong Jiu all the way to his residence. When
he was away from home, Gong Jiu's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all top-notch. He had properties in various places, and they were all well decorated, and his financial resources were extraordinary.
Gong Jiu did not drive Qingtan away, and the servants treated him with courtesy, prepared the best room for Qingtan, and prepared rich vegetarian meals for him every day.
The servants put down the food and left, and Qingtan touched his head: [Why are they all so bland?]
System: [This is the disadvantage of playing a monk.]
Xue Chen: [I don't want to eat cabbage and tofu, I want to eat mapo tofu. No, I have to find something to eat.]
The system thought Qingtan wanted to be a playboy monk and sneak out to buy meat, but he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat calmly.
On the other side, Yun Heyan grabbed an official from the Yingfeng Bureau, cut his arm, and lay on him to inhale vigorously.
Xue Chen: [Stir-fried pork with peppers, delicious. I have to remember his face so I can order takeout from him in the future.]
System: [……]
-The
original body has not appeared, and Gong Jiu's frequency of changing the secret code has slowed down, but every time he meets with people from outside, he will exchange the secret code.
Qingtan wrote down the secret code, but still had no intention of leaving. He stayed here, and except for meditating and eating, his internal strength was slowly increasing.
Compared with Qingtan, the original body had a very difficult time.
He and Lu Xiaofeng escaped a pursuit and hid in the mountains and forests. No one spoke, and they recovered their strength silently.
After a while, Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Gong Jiu already knows that you betrayed him and sent someone to kill you, why don't you change your face?"
System: [Because he can't change his appearance. ]
Xue Chen: "Can't I change my face just because I want to?"
Lu Xiaofeng thought he didn't have enough materials for the disguise: "If it really doesn't work, just use your own face. It's better than being chased by Gong Jiu all the way."
System: [He is using his own face now!]
Xue Chen laughed and said, "How do you know that I am not using my own face?" Lu
Xiaofeng knew that after he changed his appearance, he would stubbornly play the role of the other party and talk as another person. Even if it was a very critical moment, he would not change his words easily.
Lu Xiaofeng praised: "With your temperament, it is no wonder that you can practice the art of disguise to the peak."
Xue Chen: "I don't know how to change my appearance at all. This is my face."
Lu Xiaofeng gave him a thumbs up.
System: [Fool.]
After recovering his strength, Xue Chen got up and walked outside to get some water to drink.
Lu Xiaofeng was worried: "The Ninth Young Master is really difficult to deal with. We can't deal with him relying solely on our strength. But I'm worried that if I leave like this, he will do other things. I really dare not leave."
Xue Chen: "Don't you have a lot of friends?"
Lu Xiaofeng was afraid that he would be jealous, so she immediately said: "I do have a lot of friends, but now you are the only one with me."
Xue Chen smiled: "Where are your other friends?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "Most of my friends in Xingzhou are the Ninth Young Master's people. The rest can't even protect themselves. There is no need to drag them in."
Although Gong Jiu didn't kill anyone, his subordinates would do anything for money. If they found out about his friends, they might embezzle their property and force them to lose their families.
Xue Chen: "You are a very good friend."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jiu."
He still thought that the person in front of him was "Yu Qi" pretending to be "Gong Jiu".
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Can I ask you a favor?"
Xue Chen: "You tell me." Lu
Xiaofeng: "Change your appearance, escape from the sight of the Ninth Prince, and go to the capital to ask King Taiping for help."
Xue Chen: "King Taiping?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "Yes. King Taiping's position is unclear, but the deep hatred between him and the Kingdom of Jin cannot be faked. The Ninth Prince intends to collude with the Kingdom of Jin, so it might be useful to find King Taiping."
Xue Chen: "You are right, but I don't want to go."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Do you have any other way?"
Xue Chen: "Have I told you that Liu Yixuan and I know each other?"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up: "You never mentioned it."
Yu Qi and Xie Heng knew each other. Xie Heng lived next to King Taiping's mansion and should know the two sons of King Taiping. I heard that Mr. Xue was very close to some people in the capital, and Liu Yixuan was one of them.
Lu Xiaofeng had just met Liu Yixuan not long ago.
He was on the battlefield at the front line and held great power. After he exposed the conspiracy of Gong Jiu and Wanyan Honglie, he immediately ordered people to arrest Wanyan Honglie's people. The commotion that day was very loud, and the thick smoke in the city could be seen from a long distance.
Although Liu Yixuan was very young and could not speak, he was more decisive than many people and his tactics were extremely tough.
Yu Qi and Liu Yixuan's acquaintance was really a pleasant surprise.
Lu Xiaofeng: "When did you ask Lord Liu for help?"
Xue Chen: "A few days ago. " Lu Xiaofeng: "You were still pretending to be Gong Jiu at that time, right
? So you have already informed him so long ago?" Xue Chen: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng: "Will Lord Liu send someone?" Xue Chen: "He not only sent the army, but also came himself. Yi Xuan will arrive at the latest this afternoon." Lu Xiaofeng: "Will he catch all of Master Jiu's people in one fell swoop?" Xue Chen: "I don't know about that." Lu Xiaofeng swept away the previous loss and was full of hope again. He and Xue Chen came down from the mountain and entered the city again. Gong Jiu's subordinates have memorized the faces of the two of them. As long as they see their whereabouts, no matter what they are doing, they will put it aside for the time being and mobilize their forces to surround and kill them. Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Chen separated again. Xue Chen's lightness skills have improved rapidly in the past few days. He turned a few corners, got rid of the people behind him, and went all the way to Gong Jiu. Qingtan saw with his own eyes that Gong Jiu went out with his subordinates. It would not be abrupt for him to come here at this time. When he was about to reach the yard, Xue Chen slowed down, tidied his clothes and hair crown, and walked towards the yard with a grim look. The person outside the door stopped him: "The whole family is in turmoil." Xue Chen said coldly: "Everything goes smoothly." These codes are unrelated and meaningless. If you don't know them in advance, you can't guess what the latter sentence means. The gatekeeper saluted him: "Master Jiu, please." Xue Chen came to the yard. He went to the study like Gong Jiu did in the past, looked through the things inside, and put them back in place. He picked up a pen, wrote a new code on the paper, and called his subordinates to inform others. After changing the code, Xue Chen took a book and looked through it. System: [After your brother came back, he was stopped by the people outside? Will he just come in and kill us?] Xue Chen: [It's possible. 】 System: 【What if he doesn't distinguish between enemies and enemies, kills all his subordinates, and then comes to kill you? Will you reveal your identity?】 Xue Chen: 【He won't believe me even if I tell him.】 System: 【Then you are doomed, right?】 Xue Chen: 【Stupid, there is a bald guy next door who can protect me.】 System: 【……】 Does anyone call himself that? Xue Chen flipped through a few books, took a new piece of paper, and wrote and drew on it: 【My brother made a lot of money this time.】 System: 【Has he got it?】 Xue Chen: 【Most of it, but some of it has not been sent to him yet.】 System: 【I have always been curious, why don't you return the money to the people, but send it all to King Taiping.】
Xue Chen: [When it was collected, it was exploited layer by layer, and when it was distributed, it was also exploited layer by layer. People at the bottom were lucky to get a few copper coins. Some of them were even eaten up by the middlemen, and the people below had no idea about it. I don't want to feed those jackals with money.]
System: [You can give money away like you gave away rice.]
Xue Chen: [The amount of money is too large, it is easy to cause unrest. Even if Xiao Liu has enough people to maintain order, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen after we leave. If you have money in your pocket, people will always be thinking about it. And doing this kind of thing will push my reputation very high. Let's not talk about the good and bad first. It will attract so much attention. I'm afraid my brother's life will be lost here. 】
After reading the things in the book, it was almost time for dinner. Xue Chen followed Gong Jiu's habit and went to the square table in the main hall and called Qingtan to come and eat together.
Qingtan, who had eaten several vegetarian meals, finally had meat.
The two of them finished the meal quickly and elegantly without saying a word.
The servants made a pot of tea and brought it over to help digest the food. Xue Chen was halfway through drinking when someone outside asked to see him. He let the person in very naturally and pretended to be Gong Jiu to handle various matters for him.
When it was evening, there was a sudden commotion outside.
The system was extremely nervous: [It's over, it's over, your brother is coming back! ]
Xue Chen: [Idiot! ]
System: [Wuwu, why are you scolding me again. 】
Xue Chen:【Xiao Liu is dumb, not blind. You share senses with me, so you shouldn't be affected, right?】
The system looked:【Oh, it's Xiao Liu.】
He came out of the house and asked coldly: "What's going on?"
The servants outside hurried: "Master Jiu, it's bad! A group of soldiers suddenly broke in outside, and it seems they are coming here!"
The confidant brought out by the Taiping Palace came to Xue Chen and said in a low voice: "It's Liu Yixuan, Master Liu."
Some of Gong Jiu's subordinates knew that the "eldest son" and Liu Yixuan were good friends.
To them, Liu Yixuan might expose Gong Jiu's identity, but he was also Xue Chen's friend. If they killed him like this, even if they could get rid of suspicion, the eldest son would be sad.
Xue Chen said, "Don't be nervous, I know he will come."
He walked towards the door, and his subordinates hurriedly followed him and walked out together.
Liu Yixuan brought too many people and could not enter this alley. He picked twenty or thirty people and came over, and looked at Xue Chen who was standing at the door.
Xue Chen: [Oh, it's time to act again.]
System: [……]
Liu Yixuan bowed to Xue Chen.
Wei Shaoning, who was following behind, looked at Xue Chen in shock. He didn't expect that the leader of the gang that Lord Liu led his troops to attack was actually the Prince of Taiping!
He was a soldier under the Prince of Taiping and had followed the prince for many years.
The eldest son was frail and sickly and seldom went out, but the prince had been working for the prince and sometimes escorted food and money.
Many people in the army have seen the prince, even if they have not seen him many times. After all, he is the beloved son of his superior, and he has a good appearance. His cold temperament is not something that others can imitate.
Even though Wei Shaoning and Gong Jiu were not familiar with him at all, they recognized him at the first sight.
Xue Chen: "Go and get it."
Liu Yixuan bowed again, waved to Wei Shaoning and others, and asked them to follow him in.
They broke into the yard and searched the yard, turning over the warehouse, basement, and the secret room at the back. They transported boxes of property out and handed them to the soldiers behind to move away.
Liu Yixuan did not do these physical work. He stood with Xue Chen and watched these people move things away like they were ransacking a house.
Gong Jiu's people grimaced, obviously very reluctant to part with it.
Someone couldn't help but ask Xue Chen: "Master Jiu, what do you mean by this?"
Xue Chen: "This money is a tribute to me. I have the final say on how to deal with it. Do you have any objections?"
The man said: "We brothers work for Master Jiu, isn't it just to drink soup by your side? As long as I can fill my stomach, I don't care what you want to do."
System: [Why do some people call Master Jiu and some call Master Jiu?]
Xue Chen: [Those who call my brother Master Jiu are all people with whom we have a more distant relationship. Those who are familiar with me call Master Jiu.]
System: [So that's how it is.]
Xue Chen: "When have I ever been hungry with you?"
The man smiled and said, "If you say so, I'll feel at ease."
Xue Chen: [Wait for jail time! After we solve the problem here, I will let Xiao Liu catch them all! 】
System: [That's true, you won't starve, it's still a stable job! ]
Liu Yixuan's people emptied out all the things inside. It was easy for more than 2,000 people to protect a few boxes, but it was not easy to carry them.
Liu Yixuan took out some of the money and asked Wei Shaoning to go to the nearby city to buy a few horse-drawn carriages for transporting goods. He also sent a team of 500 people to the front line with Tong Guan.
System: [Aren't you afraid that Tong Guan will be greedy for the money? ]
Xue Chen was fearless: [The money given by Wanyan Honglie is also there. The amounts of these two batches of money are large. Putting them in different places will lead to distraction of attention. It is better to let Tong Guan help to look after them first. If he really dares to be greedy, I will kill him and take the position myself, and maybe I can even compete for the position of the chief envoy. 】
Wei Shaoning watched the large amount of property leave, and the soldiers around him gathered together to whisper, but Liu Yixuan was extremely quiet and out of tune with the people around him.
He came to Liu Yixuan: "Lord Liu, what's going on?"
Liu Yixuan pointed in the direction where the money transport team left.
Wei Shaoning moved closer: "That person just now..."
Liu Yixuan glanced at him, crossed his arms, and did not mean to explain.
Wei Shaoning: "Is it too smooth?"
Liu Yixuan shook his head.
If everything went well, they would have already returned with the money transport team. Why would they need to stay here?
A big war would probably break out in a few days, and that would be their time to help.
Wei Shaoning was still full of doubts, he looked uneasy: "You should know that I have some friendship with the King of Taiping. What happened today is really incredible. I am really curious and want to write a letter to ask the king for clarification."
Liu Yixuan's momentum faltered, he made a mouth shape: Are you threatening me?
Wei Shaoning: "I am just telling the truth. After serving you for these days, I can see that you are not an unreasonable person, and you are good friends with the eldest son... Instead of hiding it from you and doing these things behind your back, I think it is better to make things clear to you so that we can get along calmly in the future."
Liu Yixuan pointed to his throat.
Wei Shaoning: "I will go find something to write on."
After saying that, he went into the woods next to him.
Xue Chen: [This man is not bad, with good character, and is trustworthy. But he is too honest, and seems to be easily deceived.]
System: [As long as you don't lie to him, everything will be fine.]
Xue Chen: [I will lie, I will lie!]
System: [......]
After a while, Wei Shaoning brought a straight branch over.
Liu Yixuan took the branch and wrote on the ground: There are many people in the world who look similar. The eldest son and the prince have the same appearance. It is just a coincidence that he looks the same as the young master.
System: [You have to be more careful when lying! He looks like he is easily deceived, but it is not that easy! 】
Xue Chen:【Don't worry about it.】
Wei Shaoning was silent for a moment: "So that's how it is. Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I was disrespectful just now. Please forgive me, Master Liu."
System:【???】
You really believed it?
