Chapter 100 A Gift for the Little Grandson
Since the mission of assassinating Prince Xiyu was completed perfectly, he should be rewarded.
Yan Shixu said, "This time, you completed your mission very well, one or two months ahead of my expectations."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyang took the opportunity to complain, "It could have been even faster! I heard that Prince Xiyu's personal eunuch loved money, so I planned to bribe him and poison him to put an end to it all. But Lao Luo refused to do so and insisted on ambushing and assassinating him on the road Prince Xiyu had to take. Not only did it complicate things, but it also took longer!"
Luo Yunzhen rolled his eyes at him. "No matter how much he loves money, the chances of him poisoning the Crown Prince of Xiyu are slim. If the plot is exposed, his life will be in jeopardy. What's the point of having so much money? If you rashly try to bribe him, what if he turns around and tells the Crown Prince of Xiyu, increasing our defenses, and making our next move much more difficult?"
Su Muyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "How do you know if you don't try? I have the evidence against that eunuch, so he has to obey even if he doesn't want to."
“…”
“…”
Seeing the two of them quarreling in front of him, Yan Shixu rubbed his aching eyebrows and wanted to throw both of them out.
Seeing that they were about to continue, Yan Shixu interrupted, "As long as the result is good, it's fine. Although Mu Yang's method sounds more convenient, it also carries greater unknown risks."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyang looked at him resentfully, obviously frustrated that Yan Shixu did not stand on his side.
Seeing the deep resentment in his eyes, Yan Shixu raised his hand and said, "You can take away the Ferghana horse you had your eye on earlier today as a reward for your meritorious service."
Su Muyang's eyes, which had just been full of resentment, suddenly brightened.
"You said it, you can't go back on your word!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
Although Luo Yunzhen didn't say anything, the envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Yan Shixu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "He took the Ferghana horse, and the 'Seven Star Dragon Roar Sword' in the weapon room, so I'll give it to you."
Luo Yunzhen stood up suddenly, and the light in his eyes almost burned Su Muyang's eyes.
He clasped his fists towards Yan Shixu and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Su Muyang: “…?!”
The Seven-Star Dragon Roar Sword, known as the "Number One Sword in the World", symbolizes justice and majesty, and is coveted by martial artists all over the world.
"Um... Lao Luo, haven't you always wanted His Highness's Ferghana horse? How about we switch?"
"roll!"
Su Muyang: "..."
Yan Shixu waved his hand and dismissed them: "You have traveled all the way here, and I think you must be tired. Go back home and have a good rest for two days."
"yes."
When Luo Yunzhen and Su Muyang were about to leave, they suddenly remembered something.
Luo Yunzhen turned around and said, "I haven't congratulated Your Highness on the birth of his son yet."
As he spoke, he took out a carved sandalwood box from his sleeve and placed it on Yan Shixu's desk.
"This is what I prepared for the little grandson. Your Highness, please help convey it."
Yan Shixu opened it and was slightly stunned.
This is a piece of fine white jade.
The mutton-fat white jade is carved into the shape of a snow wolf, which is very domineering.
Yan Shixu remembered that this piece of jade was found by General Luo at a huge expense when Luo Yunzhen was one month old.
Luo Yunzhen has been wearing the Snow Wolf Jade on his body for these years and values it very much.
Seeing His Highness about to speak, Luo Yunzhen hurriedly said, "We have been looking forward to the arrival of our little grandson for several years. Now that he is finally here, I naturally want to give him my most precious gift."
Yan Shixu pursed his lips and nodded.
"Then I'll accept it on behalf of Xiaoxiao."
When Luo Yunzhen saw that he accepted it, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Su Muyang glanced at the jade and tutted his words twice: "Lao Luo, you stingy guy, you are finally generous this time, but compared to what I prepared, your jade still can't compare."
Luo Yunzhen rolled his eyes at him: "Where?"
Su Muyang chuckled, listened carefully to the noise outside, and then clapped his hands.
Soon, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and two eunuchs came in carrying a golden lock tied with red silk.
It really is lifting...
The golden lock weighed about thirty kilograms.
Luo Yunzhen was almost blinded by the golden light.
The corners of Yan Shixu's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this.
Su Muyang's mother was the only daughter of Qi Fuyu, the first emperor of Dayan.
It is said that on the day Mrs. Su got married, her dowry circled the capital three times.
He didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Now, he completely believed it.
Su Muyang waved his hand, reminding the two eunuchs to be careful.
"Your Highness, this is the longevity lock I prepared for my little grandson. It weighs 62.49 jin, or 999.9 taels of gold. Converted to silver, it's 9,999.9 taels. What do you think? Isn't this an auspicious number?"
As he spoke, he walked to the longevity lock and lifted the red silk.
I saw that the surface of the golden lock was covered with densely packed words.
It is composed of ten words: blessing, longevity, wealth, joy, luck, peace, auspiciousness, fortune, health and smoothness.
"After I knew your woman was pregnant, I had someone prepare it. It's simply perfect!"
Yan Shixu looked at the boy who was giving away money with an indescribable look and nodded.
"Then I'll accept it on behalf of Xiaoxiao."
Su Muyang smiled happily: "Your Highness, you can have children as much as you want. I will prepare longevity locks for all the little grandchildren born in the future according to this specification!"
Luo Yunzhen couldn't help but complain: "Does Aunt Qi know that you are such a spendthrift?"
Su Muyang shook his head with an expression that said, "I'm the coolest."
"I know. She worries every day about having too much money to spend. It was she who suggested making this golden lock."
Luo Yunzhen: “…”
Yan Shixu: "..."
Qionghua Palace.
When Wen Li'er received the two things delivered by Yongtai personally, she swallowed in surprise.
"Eunuch Yong, what is this?"
Yongtai said with a smile: "This is a gift from two of His Highness's good friends to the little grandson."
"Is this... too expensive?"
The finest white jade, and this longevity lock, isn't it a little too big...
"His Highness said, Concubine Liang, just keep it with peace of mind. This lock goes perfectly with the golden tortoise."
Seeing that His Highness asked her to accept it, Wen Li'er naturally had no reason to refuse.
After seeing Yongtai off, she glanced at the golden lock and then at the golden turtle in the corner of the hall.
It really feels unreal.
Sure enough, in the Dayan Dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor was too huge!
