Chapter Twenty-Nine: Befriending the Royal Family
Fei Hong readily agreed to go, and Bei Mingxuan came to Xinsu with him. Fei Hong and King Duocheng made an appointment to meet the next day, and the group went to their lodgings to settle down and rested separately. Late at night, Bei Mingxuan only took Xiao Yan to the hotel where Nangong Ao stayed.
During this time, Ao Shao threw a lot of money in Xinsu, singing and dancing every day, and spending all day and drinking so happily. Although Zhao Shi is a prince, the way of eating, drinking and having fun is really a small place compared to Ao Shao, and he can't get on the stage, and he has become increasingly addicted under the leadership of Ao Shao during this time. After finishing the fun together tonight, Zhaoshi didn't go home, and rested in Nangong Ao's presidential suite. Bei Mingxuan found the location, and a stealth technique evaded the surveillance and the bodyguard directly entered the suite. Walking around the rooms, he saw Zhao Shi unexpectedly, so he took away an ancestral jade ornament hanging from his neck. As for Ao Shao, it is rare that he is very nostalgic, and he still rests with Fan Shah. Bei Mingxuan had to slap the dog man and woman to death with two palms, but Song Qingbao's advice was still echoing in his ears, so he had to force his anger to stun the two of them, and took out a sharp blade to shave off Fan Sha's hair and eyebrows. According to the theory of ancient medicine, the internal force of Yun closed the kidney veins of Ao Shao, so that his kidney deficiency was punished for a long time.
He also found a lockbox in the Ao Shao room, which contained some antique calligraphy and paintings, presumably used to make friends. Bei Mingxuan thought that he had a lot to do with Ao Shao, so he smiled honestly and unceremoniously. Such high-quality antique calligraphy and painting can only be taken out by the family, and the upstarts are like the likes of the Northern Underworld, and there is nowhere to buy them if they have money. After doing these illegal acts, Bei Mingxuan was also a little ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly returned to his residence to rest in peace.
The next day, everyone washed up and went with Fei Hong to see His Majesty Duocheng. Fei Hong is considered a prince, and now that the royal family is in decline, he is quite courteous, and Prince Cong Zhen, the second son of King Duocheng, personally greeted and accompanied him. Prince Cong Zhen is different from his brother, he is shrewd and capable, and he is a very insightful and outstanding talent. But Duo Zai is not only the eldest son, but his mother is also the daughter of a big family in China, so he was made the crown prince early and inherited the name of Duo, but in fact, Mu Monkey was crowned. It wasn't for his perverse behavior, with the benevolence of the old king, and it wouldn't have caused the current situation of complaint. In this way, Prince Cong Zhen, who has been acting in a low-key manner, was pushed to the front by the old king to participate in state affairs.
Fei Hong introduced the North Ming Xuan to the king, and the North Ming Xuan paid tribute and presented two gifts, a yellow dragon jade ruyi and a string of beeswax Buddha beads, both of which were special to the royal family in ancient times in the Yanlong Kingdom. King Duocheng has known treasures for a long time, and he doesn't know the preciousness of gifts, and his heart is happy, but he doesn't know that the Northern Darkness is not full of generosity to others.
After some politeness, Fei Hong gave the king a detailed report on the recent situation in the Shanbei mining area. When the king heard that the chaos in the Shanbei mining area had been effectively brought under control and that the local people had finally been able to live in peace by joining the Minghai Mining Mine, he was very happy and expressed his indignation at the attempts to disturb the mining area.
Then he sighed and said: "Unfortunately, Chairman Fei, Mr. Beiming, Zhen'er also told me about the Shanbei mining area in the past two days, please rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give Yanbang and Minghai Mining an explanation." ”
This is already a very friendly expression, Bei Mingxuan nodded, and said in pure exposition: "Your Majesty is benevolent, Bei Mingxuan is grateful, it is all some traitors who bewitch them, and princes and generals are deceived by them." In order to ensure the safety of one party, Minghai Mining has caused mutual damage, and His Majesty must be tolerant and understanding. ”
King Duocheng and Prince Cong Zhen were very surprised when they heard Bei Mingxuan's standard Lingao language, you must know that Lingao is a small country, and Yanlong is also a common folk language in Lingao, Lingao is a relatively rare language, and there are very few Yanlong people who can learn Lingao. Bei Mingxuan's speech was fluent and accurate, and when he heard it, he had put in a lot of effort, and he couldn't help but be a little impressed by the young man in front of him. Of course, they don't know that the Northern Immortal Xuan has a sea of consciousness, has a strong spiritual power, and all kinds of languages and characters have a foundation in the sea of consciousness, and they can master it with a little tidying.
At that moment, the guests and hosts were talking very happily, and Bei Mingxuan saw that the king's face was haggard and his lack of mental strength was a symptom of qi and blood loss, so he said: "Looking at Your Majesty's complexion, it seems that the dragon has been sick recently, and you need to take care of your body more." ”
King Duo Cheng is only over sixty years old, and he has always been in good health, but he has been emaciated by the recent troubles of Duo Zai, and he does feel that he is not in good health. Hurriedly asked: "Is Mr. Beiming still proficient in medicine?"
Bei Ming Xuan said: "Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, Bei Ming learned medical skills from Elder Yuankong of Wanlong Temple for a few days. ”
Prince Cong Zhen stepped forward and said, "Please also ask Mr. Beiming to treat my father." ”
Bei Mingxuan did not hesitate to check the pulse of King Duocheng, and when he took the pulse, he took the opportunity to channel the qi congestion of his heart and lungs with internal force. King Duo Cheng felt a warm current from his wrist to his heart and lungs, and suddenly his whole body was comfortable, and his complexion immediately became ruddy, and after a while, he felt that his body was a little hot and some hot sweat, and as soon as the hot sweat came out of his whole body, all kinds of discomfort were swept away.
Bei Ming Xuan smiled and let go of his hand and saluted: "Bei Ming is formless, and I still look at Your Majesty Haihan." ”
King Duo Cheng stood up and helped Bei Mingxuan up, held Bei Mingxuan's hand and said, "Sir, a master in the world, it really benefits me a lot. ”
Seeing this, Prince Cong Zhen didn't know the extraordinary nature of the Northern Darkness with his knowledge, and immediately started to think of making friends. rushed forward to thank Bei Ming Xuan: "Mr. Bei Ming is a true immortal, his father's illness has been a long time, quack doctors have mistaken people, and Mr. has been treated by magic, Cong Zhen thanked Mr. on behalf of his father." ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply. Bei Mingxuan hurriedly returned the salute: "The prince's filial piety is commendable, I just recuperate a little, or Your Majesty's dragon body health foundation is good, and then take some medicine to consolidate the food supplement and you can be cured as before." ”
Duo Cheng and Cong Zhen were overjoyed, asked Bei Mingxuan to write a prescription, and asked for advice on the dishes of dietary therapy, which contained a lot of content in Bei Mingxuan's sea of consciousness, and came up with several sets of plans, making the two sigh at Bei Mingxuan's versatility.
King Duocheng sincerely invited Fei Hong and Bei Mingxuan to accompany him to the imperial meal, and arranged for Cong Zhen to be responsible for coordinating all matters in the Shanbei mining area. According to Cong Zhen's meaning, he directly called Zhaoshi and Tai'a here, and Bei Mingxuan suggested that he should be the east, and invite Prince Zhaoshi, General Tai'a, and Nangong Ao to gather together and talk with him at the dinner table. Cong Zhen naturally had nothing to do, and immediately personally came forward to invite everyone to the banquet.
Prince Cong Zhen came forward, where did these people dare to slack off, and they all came to the No. 01 box of Xintai Hotel as promised. After a few false greetings with the snake, the opponents who had seen and had never seen sat together. Cong Zhen and Fei Hong were the middlemen, of course, they had to adjust the atmosphere of the banquet, and Nangong Ao also brought the Song brothers and Fan Sha to participate.
Seeing the pale and troubled appearance of Prince Zhaoshi, Nangong Ao, and Fan Sha, especially Fan Sha's thick black hair, picturesque eyes and eyebrows, which are very different from normal, Cong Zhen couldn't help but ask the reason. Several people explained uncertainly that the presidential suite was haunted last night, and one inexplicably left behind the jade pendant given by his father, and after the other two nightmares, his girlfriend was shaved by a ghost, and he always felt that something was wrong when he felt uncomfortable, and he also lost a box of antique calligraphy and paintings prepared for him at home.
Nangong Ao was apprehensive in his heart, this box of things was not trivial, it was for the sake of taking over the jade mine and taking care of all kinds of immortals. At noon, everyone got up and inquired in detail, whether it was monitoring or bodyguards, there were no clues. When they were suspicious, they received an invitation from Prince Cong Zhen, and they didn't want to see the plague god Bei Mingxuan as soon as they came, so they were not depressed, but they still had to be human beings on the scene, so they had to respond with a smile.
Finally boiled until the wine passed three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Bei Mingxuan waved his hand, and several beauties held red silk trays and gave gifts to the three leaders. Prince Zhaoshi opened a small gift box, his face was shocked, the box was the jade pendant he lost, but there was a similar jade plaque lying next to the jade pendant, and he recognized that it was actually carved from a piece of superb southern jade, he knew the value of the best southern jade, such a large piece of value was about 10 million yuan Yanlong coin, this is a big deal.
General Tai'a's gift was an ancient sword, he was born in the army, he had a special love for ancient swords, and couldn't help but pull out the sword on the spot and enjoy it. Ao Shao's gift is very simple, a box is a puff of hair, and a paper contract.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Nangong Ao saw that the ancient sword in General Tai'a's hand was one of his many gifts, and he couldn't help but be furious. Tengdi stood up and pointed at Bei Mingxuan and said, "It's you!!"
Fan Sha pulled Nangong Ao hard with a pale face, and the Song brothers slowly stood up.
Prince Cong Zhen said coldly, "Mr. Nangong, please sit down and speak." ”
As soon as Nangong Ao's anger rose, a cold sweat suddenly flowed down, he was a fool but not a fool, looking at Bei Mingxuan's smiling face, he understood why Fan Sha, who never interfered with him, pulled him, last night if... Nangong sat down arrogantly and stopped talking.
Bei Mingxuan said: "Brother Nangong, don't you look at the contract?"
Nangong Ao subconsciously picked up the contract, which was a contract for agency management and cooperative processing of jade. Although Yu's Jewelry has obtained the right to market jade from Minghai Mining, firstly, the mining scale of Shanbei Jade Mine is getting larger and larger, and the output has exceeded Yu's capacity; secondly, the processing and transportation in the early stage also need to be cooperated. The terms in this contract are enough for the Nangong family to make their hearts moved, except for the jade mining rights of the Nangong family, they have largely ceded profits to the Nangong family, and Nangong Ao can completely give up to the family with this contract. He looked at Bei Mingxuan suspiciously, and handed the contract to the two Song Qingming brothers, the Song brothers looked at each other and nodded, Song Qingbao glanced at Bei Mingxuan with deep meaning, knowing that his advice Bei Mingxuan listened.
Seeing this, Cong Zhen opened his mouth to say yes, and Fei Hong also echoed on the side, using both soft and hard. Zhao Shi received a heavy salute, and he was also frightened, here is the second brother who came forward, and what he conveyed was his father's message, where would he be embarrassed, but only that. secretly scolded Duo Zai in his heart for having nothing to do, Duo Zai is the crown prince, but he is so ridiculous that he was forced out of the country to avoid disasters, and his status in the eyes of the royal family has dropped greatly. Cong Zhen has been quite popular with his father recently, who knows if he will change his name to Duo Zhen? Thinking of this, whether it is a new best friend or a benefit, go to him. Tai'a is the king's confidant, but he is straightforward and heroic, and immediately said that he was asked by Duo Zai at that time, since His Majesty has a will, of course he will listen to His Majesty.
The two backstages changed the direction of the wind, Nangong Ao touched his neck that was still slightly cold, and consulted the Song brothers with his eyes, and immediately gritted his teeth after receiving a positive reply, and said: "Since the two princes and General Tai'a both said so, Nangong Ao naturally has nothing to do." This contract..."
Bei Mingxuan said: "Please ask the two Song teachers to contact Mr. Hai and Mr. Ling of Minghai Mining to formulate specific terms. ”
Nangong Ao nodded: "Okay, that's it." ”
The big event has been decided, everyone has also let go of their mood, and you come and I have a good feast. After retiring, everyone sat down to talk and sober up.
Song Qingming stood up and hugged his fist to Bei Mingxuan and said: "My brother came back from Shanbei and said many times in front of me, Mr. Beiming's peerless skills, Qingming is not talented, I want to learn a few hands with Mr., and please ask Mr. to give me advice." ”
Nangong nodded his head arrogantly in support, General Tai'a was as martial as his life, and when he heard that Song Qingming was going to learn from Bei Mingxuan, he didn't know what skills the two of them were, but he suddenly became excited when he saw it, and interjected: "Teacher Song's idea is good, Lao Tai has not seen the kung fu of Yanlong Kingdom." ”
Zhao Shi hurriedly knocked on the bricks and nails and echoed: "Yes, yes, let's have fun after dinner." ”
Cong Zhen frowned and looked at Bei Mingxuan, who said: "Since Teacher Song has this Yaxing, the little brother is not easy to shirk, so he has the courage to ask Teacher Song for advice or two." ”
The country has always been martial, and there are boxing rings in the hotel. The group came to the boxing gym, and only a few boxers were left in the boxing gym to greet them, and the idlers were cleared out early. Tai'a is a master of mountain boxing, and he wants to go up and move for a while, he has not seen the power of ancient martial arts, and he can't understand the gap between ordinary martial arts and ancient martial arts. Bei Mingxuan and the Song brothers made eye contact, and in the end, they could only let Song Qingbao come to the stage to play a few tricks with the general. After a few rounds of fighting, Taia finally realized that what he thought was good was a child's game compared to his opponent.
The general stopped with a wry smile and said, "No, no, Master Song, are you the most skilled among them?"
Of course, the general couldn't ask for Song Qingbao, and when he heard him say this, he explained embarrassedly: "General, I am the worst." ”
General Tai'a shook his head in disbelief, jumped out of the ring and gave it to Bei Mingxuan and Song Qingming.
