Chapter 098 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Gong Jiu wore a bright red robe. When he pretended to be his brother, his demeanor was gentle and he looked like a completely different person.
He reluctantly said, "Be careful and come back soon."
Xue Chen nodded lightly with a cold face.
Xue Chen: [Although I know that he and I have no pressure to pretend to be each other, I still feel it is amazing when I see it with my own eyes.]
System: [Hurry up, I have finished my slogan.]
Xue Chen: [You said it too early.]
System: [……]
The two brothers walked side by side from the courtyard to the door. The subordinates of Wuming Island were moving some things that might be used on the road.
After Gong Jiu confessed, he no longer concealed the existence of Wen Qu. Xue Chen wanted to cover up for his brother, so he sent someone to secretly transfer Wen Qu yesterday.
Hu Sheng moved all of Xie Heng's alchemy furnace, herbs, and wine bottles to the carriage, and finally pushed Xie Heng over.
"Prince, everything is ready."
Xue Chen nodded: "Let's go."
He was about to get in the car, but was suddenly grabbed by his arm by his younger brother. He turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Gong Jiu took a deep breath: "You... Xie Heng's medical skills are very good, you can take him with you."
Xue Chen: "I will."
Gong Jiu let go of his hand and watched his elder brother walk down the steps and step on the pedal to get into the car. His elder brother was wearing a white shirt and combed his hair meticulously. At this moment, he seemed to see his former self.
Xue Chen opened the car window and waved his hand, indicating that he could go back.
Mr. Hu carried Xie Heng to the carriage at the back and moved the wheelchair to the compartment for sundries.
His brother's voice came out: "Let's go."
The coachman waved the whip, and the team slowly moved forward. His entourage and guards followed on both sides of the carriage, gradually going farther away.
Gong Jiu was disappointed.
It seemed that he was abandoned by his brother.
At first, his elder brother also sent him off like this, but later he gradually stopped doing so.
Gong Jiu didn't want his brother to be out in the cold, and when he saw that he didn't come to see him off, he thought it was natural and never thought about the reason.
Now he understood that this was what his elder brother meant by being powerless.
Xue Chen sat in the carriage with a cold face: [Nameless Island! Set off! Set off! 】
System: [……]
Xue Chen: [I really want to eat at Hefangzhai again.]
System: [Would it be bad to send someone to buy snacks now?]
Xue Chen: [What's wrong with that?]
After saying that, he opened the car window and said to the entourage outside: "Go to Hefangzhai to buy some snacks, in duplicate, give one to the eldest son, and bring the rest to me." Those
who can follow Gong Jiu back to the palace are all Gong Jiu's confidants, who often appear in the palace. They are all aware of the deep friendship between Gong Jiu and Xue Chen, and they immediately agreed.
Xue Chen lowered the car curtain: [Isn't that it?]
System: [The character setting didn't collapse.]
Xue Chen: [My brother's setting is really useful.]The
entourage quickly bought snacks and came back, handing a large bag full of snacks to Xue Chen.
Xue Chen arranged the desserts in order, took the bowl of ice cream and started to eat it.
-Gong
Jiu returned to his brother's courtyard in dismay, watching the leaves in the courtyard begin to turn yellow and wither, the wind was cool, everyone in the palace had something to do, only he stayed alone in the courtyard, unable to go anywhere.
Feeling sorry for his brother, someone suddenly came to the courtyard.
"Young Master, these are sent to you by the Prince."
"For me?"
"The Prince sent them to you specially. The boy who came to deliver the things said that the Prince bought two and kept one for himself. Although the Prince and the Young Master are not in the same place, their hearts are together."
Gong Jiu was happy. With a slight smile, "Put it in the house."
The servant put the things down and left.
He walked into the house, opened the two wooden boxes containing snacks, took them out one by one, and just like the last time his elder brother invited him for snacks, he placed all the desserts on the table and ate them silently.
-
After Xue Chen finished a bowl of ice cream, he found with sadness that he was full. He could only put away the other food for the time being and save it for later.
He found a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and handed it to the follower outside again: "Send this letter to Wanmei Villa."
Follower: "Yes, Master Jiu."
Xue Chen closed his eyes and rested his eyes.
System: [Aren't you going to Wanmei Villa? ]
Xue Chen: [I didn't say I would go now. I promised Ximen Chuxue that I would visit you when I was free. Now I really don't have any time at all. ]
System: [Will you go there in the future? Xue Chen
: [Let's talk about it after we deal with the matter of the Nameless Island.]
It takes at least two days to get from the palace to the dock on the coast. Before going to the dock, Xue Chen had to work for the King of Taiping first. Only after he had dealt with the business could he move freely.
While the carriage was still on the road, Wanyan Honglie asked for the title of Princess for Liu Yixuan.
Someone in the palace brought the decree of the title and read it out in the Zhao Palace. Wanyan Honglie, Wanyan Kang, Bao Xiruo and Liu Yixuan came out together to receive the decree.
After the eunuch of Xuan paper left, Wanyan Kang smiled and said, "Sister finally has a name, and it's time to change her surname to Wanyan in the future." Wanyan
Honglie said, "Kang'er, don't talk nonsense. Xuan'er is not a child anymore. She has feelings for her biological parents. Why should we make it difficult for her to lose her surname? No matter what her surname is, she is a member of our house."
Wanyan Kang said mischievously, "I was just joking, sister, don't take it seriously."
Liu Yixuan smiled.
Wanyan Honglie said, "The most important thing has been done. Kang'er, go and play. Xuan'er, come with me, I have something to say to you."
Wanyan Kang left with interest.
Liu Yixuan followed Wanyan Honglie and walked forward. He seemed to be very unfamiliar with the surrounding scene. He looked a little hesitant and shook the golden bell hanging at his waist, which made a crisp sound.
Wanyan Honglie smiled at him and said, "These things cannot be known by anyone else, not even the princess and Kang'er. I will take you to the study. No one will disturb you there, and there will be no outsiders eavesdropping. We will be there soon."
System: [I said that this road looks more and more familiar. It turns out that it is the road to the study.]
Xue Chen: [I walk this way every night. How can you still make a mistake?]
System: [I don't have any memory skills, and there is really a big difference between day and night. It looks completely different. But why did he take Xiao Liu to the study? 】
Xue Chen:【He refused to change my surname, it must be because he wanted to send me to those Wanyans. He took me to the study room to talk about this.】
System:【The Third Prince?】
Xue Chen:【It may not be Wanyan Hongxi. Wanyan Honglie is not an honest man. I guess he wants to kill three men with two peaches, causing disputes among other brothers. It is not impossible to send me directly to the palace.】
System:【No way...】
Xue Chen:【Why hasn't the transfer order from the speed room come yet? The efficiency is too low.】
System:【Maybe it's on the way.】
Xue Chen:【It won't take long to get here from the capital. It must be stuck at some link. The original Song Dynasty had redundant officials, redundant soldiers and redundant expenses. When it came to the Daxing, the situation did not improve at all. When I have real power, I will definitely reform and lay off employees, and send all those who are self-serving back home. 】
System: [Okay! ]
Wanyan Honglie took Liu Yixuan, walked through a bamboo forest, and came to the study.
He winked at the person on duty in front, and the man immediately took out the key, opened the door, and then retreated far away.
Wanyan Honglie walked in, turned around and saw Liu Yixuan still standing there, waved at him: "Xuan'er, don't be so cautious, just be like before, come in."
Liu Yixuan walked into the study in small steps.
The room was a little dim, Wanyan Honglie opened the window, and the sunlight came in, immediately brightening up.
Wanyan Honglie pointed to the round stool next to him: "Sit down."
Liu Yixuan sat down carefully.
Wanyan Honglie said: "The emperor has conferred you the title of princess. According to the rules, the princess should take you to the palace to express her gratitude. But the princess has never been bothered by these things. She rarely socializes with the ladies in the palace and usually avoids them by claiming to be sick. I'm afraid she can't take you this time."
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Wanyan Honglie: "I would like to ask the third princess to take you to the palace. What do you think?"
System: [Pah! Xiao Liu has no choice! ]
Liu Yixuan nodded hesitantly. He pointed to his mouth with a gloomy look.
Wanyan Honglie: "Don't worry, my father and the ladies know that you can't speak, so they won't make things difficult for you."
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Wanyan Honglie: "I will send someone to teach you the rules of the palace and the preferences of several nobles. You should also learn a little Jurchen language. You can't be completely incomprehensible."
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Wanyan Honglie smiled and said, "It seems that you are a smart child. You know what to do and what not to do. In this case, I am relieved."
Liu Yixuan seemed to have something to say. She looked at him steadily, and her eyes occasionally fell on the paper and pen beside her.
Wanyan Honglie pushed the paper and pen over: "What do you want to say?"
Liu Yixuan: If it's just this matter, why hide it from the princess?
Wanyan Honglie was speechless for a moment.
Liu Yixuan continued to write: You asked for the title of princess for me, is it because of my face?
Wanyan Honglie: "It seems that you know that your appearance is very attractive to men. I will not hide it from you. My people used to roam the grasslands, and our civilization is completely different from that of the Han people. In our place, women are very precious."
System: [I understand this. When a father dies, his son inherits his property; when an elder brother dies, his younger brother inherits his property. Women are important heirlooms, as precious as cattle and sheep.]
Xue Chen: [You are calm.]
Liu Yixuan's eyelashes trembled, and he picked up the pen to write: Dumb too?
Wanyan Honglie: "Of course...it's just that your body is still too weak after all."
Liu Yixuan put down the pen, lowered his head, and looked pitiful.
Wanyan Honglie: "Xuan'er, if I have a choice, I will definitely not let you down. I am also in a difficult situation. My third brother has asked me for you several times in a row. He is deeply favored by the emperor, and I have long lost power... If you can get the favor of the emperor and the queens, they will protect you. You are old now, and it is time to consider marriage. Several nobles in the palace will also choose a good husband for you."
System: [After entering the palace, can you kill the emperor of the Jin Dynasty? ]
Xue Chen: [I am afraid not. His father is too old and may not look down on me. Wanyan Honglie probably thinks so too. It seems that he wants me to have a good relationship with the female relatives to make up for the failure of the hostess as the princess. ]
System: [Then will you do as he says? 】
Xue Chen: [Am I free? ]
Of course, he couldn't socialize for Wanyan Honglie, and after entering the palace, he would no longer be able to get in touch with the news of the previous dynasty, so it would be
better for him to stay in the palace. Liu Yixuan pursed his lips and wrote on the paper: I am not a Jin man, I am dumb, and I am not in good health. I am afraid that I can't take on such a big responsibility .
Wanyan Honglie: "You are a very pitiful child. Otherwise, the princess would not have adopted you as her adopted daughter the first time she saw you. As long as you are willing, you can definitely do it."
Liu Yixuan put down the pen.
Wanyan Honglie looked at him sincerely: "Xuan'er, although you and I are not biological father and daughter, we have a father-daughter relationship for a few days. I wonder if you are willing to call me dad?"
Xue Chen: [Don't say that anyone can be a father! ]
System: [...] How do you know I want to say this.
Liu Yixuan picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: Dad.
Wanyan Honglie sighed deeply: "I have had few children in my life, and I only have one child, Kang'er. Now I have a daughter like you, so I have no regrets."
System: [What does he mean?]
Xue Chen: [I want to improve Xiao Liu's favorability. I hope Xiao Liu can say a few good words for him, so that his career will be smoother.]
System: [What about his plan for Xiao Liu?]
Xue Chen: [I'm afraid he himself doesn't know what the final result will be.]
Liu Yixuan left the study and was returning to his residence when Yun Heyan came over from the front, stood in front of him, and said condescendingly: "Go cook."
Wanyan Honglie saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a headache. He came out of the study: "Mr. Yun."
Yun Heyan didn't look at him, still looking down at Liu Yixuan.
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Yun Heyan turned around and left with satisfaction.
Wanyan Honglie chased after him: "Mr. Yun, please stay."
Yun Heyan: "If you want to say that Xiao Liu's status is no longer what it used to be and she can no longer cook for me, then don't say it."
Wanyan Honglie: "You came to the palace to eat Xuan'er's cooking, but you never did anything for the palace. This deal is really not worth it to me."
Yun Heyan: "I only know how to kill people."
Wanyan Honglie: "Then please ask Mr. Yun to kill for me." Yun
Heyan: "Who to kill?"
Wanyan Honglie: "Who can you kill?" Yun Heyan: "No matter who it is, I can kill." Wanyan Honglie's eyes darkened: "If I want to kill
someone,
The person is Temujin of Mongolia?"
Yun Heyan: "Too far, no go."
Wanyan Honglie expected that he would refuse, but still a little disappointed, he changed his words and said: "Anyone who hinders the Jin Kingdom from moving south is fine. Zhuge Zhengwo, King Taiping, and those stubborn people in the world, who can you kill?"
Yun Heyan: "No matter who it is, I can kill them." Wanyan
Honglie was overjoyed: "Okay, then you will take the life of King Taiping!"
Yun Heyan: "Too far, no go."
Wanyan Honglie was stunned for a moment, his face gloomy: "Yun Heyan, are you kidding me?"
Xue Chen: [Quick reaction.]
System: [Can this be called fast reaction?]
Xue Chen: [If the reference object is you, the reaction is really fast. 】
System: [... Could you be more tactful next time and not make me understand? 】
Xue Chen: [You didn't understand originally, but you insisted on asking, can you blame me for that? 】
System: [Don't blame you, I brought this upon myself. 】
Xue Chen: [Touch me. 】
System: [...]
Yun Heyan still had that cold look on his face, looking particularly unkind.
He said indifferently: "How much can you give?"
As someone who can accomplish great things, Wanyan Honglie never cared about money, but Yun Heyan didn't look like someone who would really work for him.
A few days ago, he was busy dealing with important matters in the court, and he didn't even arrange anything for Yun Heyan to do, leaving him at home for so many days, and only today did he discover his true colors!
Wanyan Honglie was filled with regret. He said dissatisfiedly: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
Yun Heyan: "Yes." Wanyan Honglie
suppressed his anger and said: "What qualifications do you have?"
Yun Heyan suddenly took a half step forward, stretched out his hand, and the sword in his left hand half left the scabbard and lay across Wanyan Honglie's neck.
The guards in the palace were shocked and surrounded him: "Protect the prince!"
Wanyan Honglie did not dare to move, for fear that Yun Heyan's hand would shake and the sharp blade would cut his neck.
He shouted at the guards who were rushing over in a panic: "Stop, no one is allowed to come over."
Yun Heyan said calmly: "Do I have the qualifications?" Wanyan
Honglie: "Mr. Yun is a master of swordsmanship, so he is naturally qualified. I was rude before, please forgive me, Mr. Yun."
Yun Heyan put away his sword.
Wanyan Honglie quickly stepped back and waved to the guards around him, asking them to be careful and not to anger Yun Heyan.
He smiled and asked, "May I ask how much it would cost to ask Master Yun to kill someone personally?"
Yun Heyan said, "That depends on their value."
Wanyan Honglie thought for a while and thought of a person who was not well-known but had a high chance of entering the officialdom and making a rapid rise. "I wonder how much it would cost to hire Master Yun to kill the eldest son of the Prince of Taiping's Mansion?"
Yun Heyan laughed when he heard this, "How much money do you have?"
Wanyan Honglie : "The treasures of the palace are countless, which should satisfy Master Yun. Master Yun, just ask."
Yun Heyan: "I want them all. Give me the Zhao Palace and I will kill Xue Chen for you."
Wanyan Honglie became even angrier: "If Master Yun doesn't want to do anything, just refuse directly. I won't force you. Why are you being so unreasonable?"
He continued to retreat, thinking about how to escape from Yun Heyan.
Yun Heyan: "I'm not kidding."
Wanyan Honglie thought of a possibility and his eyes dimmed.
The palace was robbed a few days ago. The thief was dressed in black and had extremely high martial arts skills. He hid in Kang'er's study and seemed to be looking for something.
This Master Yun was also dressed in black and had extremely high martial arts skills.
Although Kang'er's master of the Quanzhen Sect said that the man in black was thin and not as tall as Yun Heyan, Qiu Chuji had always been stern to the Jin people. Who could be sure whether he was deliberately protecting the thief? The more
Wanyan Honglie thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
He temporarily calmed Yun Heyan: "I am willing to pay this money, but I can only give you the money after Xue Chen dies."
Yun Heyan: "Okay, pay the deposit first."
Wanyan Honglie: "Please wait here, I'll go get it."
After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked forward a few steps. After leaving Yun Heyan's attack range, he waved to the people around him, indicating that they should take Yun Heyan down.
Yun Heyan seemed to have been prepared. She drew her sword and swung it to block the guards' attack. Her
full-level swordsmanship and internal strength complemented each other, making Yun Heyan's moves even more agile and swift. In a few breaths, she had dealt with all her opponents.
Xue Chen: [These Jin people seem to be practicing external martial arts, and their martial arts are not very good. No wonder Wanyan Honglie wants to find people from the underworld to do things.]
System: [Are you going to kill Wanyan Honglie?]
Xue Chen: [If I kill him, won’t the Jin Kingdom stop fighting internally? I won’t kill him. I will stay here for a few more days and solve Xiao Liu’s problem before leaving.]
System: [Wanyan Honglie must be mad to death.]
Xue Chen: [I have always been very good at irritating people.]
System: […] Why do you look so proud?
Yun Heyan didn’t chase Wanyan Honglie. He seemed to really believe what Wanyan Honglie said and stood here without moving.
More and more people came to kill him, and the aroma in the yard was mixed and the smell became stronger and stronger.
Yun Heyan's eyes turned red with killing intent, staring at the enemy fiercely, as if he was a Shura devil crawling out of the abyss.
No one dared to move forward.
The guards of the palace hid far away, holding their weapons, their legs and feet trembling.
Yun Heyan sipped the blood on the sword, lowered her palm to her mouth, and licked it slowly.
Xue Chen: [I don't like this mixed taste. The spicy hot pot is delicious, and the cream ice cream is also delicious. I like them separately, but not when they are mixed together. What's more, there are so many kinds of things mixed together.]
System: [Then why do you lick your fingers so clean?]
Xue Chen: [I am more frugal and avoid waste. 】
System: [……]
Yun Heyan raised her eyes and saw the guards retreating cautiously. She chuckled and said, "Where is Wanyan Honglie? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"
