Chapter 17: Released from Prison & Ordered
The prison of the Criminal Department
Fan Bozhong took the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army all the way to the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History of the Criminal Department hurriedly greeted him when he saw this battle, and said to Fan Bozhong with a flattering face: "I don't know that Fan is the commander, and the villain is unwelcome." ”
"I'll save the compliments for next time, this commander has brought a holy decree to let people open the prison door and welcome His Royal Highness the King of Light out. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll tell someone to do it. Yushi crossed the jailer standing aside, "Don't go yet!"
"No. The jailer nodded, turned around and ran all the way to release the people, and after a while, King Guang Yelan followed the jailer out of the prison leisurely, he raised his eyes and glanced at Fan Bozhong coldly, the latter bowed, "Your Majesty has seen His Royal Highness King Guang." ”
"Fan is a young courtesy. ”
"Your Majesty has brought His Majesty's holy will this time, and I also ask His Highness to kneel down to accept the will. Fan Bozhong smiled politely at Yelan, then took out the holy decree from his sleeve, shook it in the air, and read it.
"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said~ Now the war in the east is spreading, and the stability of the people is in danger, and the special king of light, Yelan, who is guilty of making meritorious contributions, led the heart and reserve troops to go to the eastern battlefield to reinforce King Gong and the central army led by him. Chin this~"
"Yelan Command, thank you. Yelan took the holy decree handed by Fan Bozhong expressionlessly, got up from the ground, and patted the ashes on his clothes with his hand.
"Then the ministers will send His Highness back to the Guangwang Mansion to rest, and in three days, His Highness will lead the army to march. ”
"There is a leader of Lao Fan. Yelan was still expressionless, as if all this was dispensable.
Fan Bozhong made a gesture of "please", Yelan glanced at him, and left first, Fan Bozhong followed him, and the group walked out of the Criminal Department and walked towards the Guangwang Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of the Guangwang Mansion, Ye Lan saw Ye Fan anxiously pacing at the door from a distance, and only turned around when he heard the sound and greeted him with a happy face.
"His Royal Highness has arrived, and the minister will go back first. Fan Bozhong made a hasty gesture, and then left with the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army under his command.
"Fourth brother. Ye Fan patted Ye Lan on the shoulder, "How do you feel that you are living quite comfortably in it." ”
"A little earlier than I thought. ”
"Huh?" Ye Fan looked puzzled.
"I mean, I didn't expect my father to let me go so quickly, and I had to play with children. Ye Lan rolled her eyes, and walked into the mansion without waiting for Ye Fan to react, Ye Fan hurriedly followed, "You set out in three days, and my father allowed me to accompany me." ”
"What are you going to do? ”
"I don't care, it's boring to be alone in Kyoto. Yefan shrugged, "Oh yes, the third brother is also here, waiting for you inside." I'll come over to take a look, since you are so safe and fat, then the little brother will go first. Ye Fan joked, and stuck out his tongue after speaking.
"Okay, get out, get out. Yelan waved her hand impatiently. Ye Fan looked at him with an aggrieved face, but Ye Lan deliberately pretended not to see it, Ye Fan "snorted", and then left angrily.
Yelan dismissed his subordinates, and strolled to the back garden of the Guangwang Mansion, and saw from a distance that Yejun was playing against himself in the pavilion, and he also drove away the people who were waiting around him, and he was the only one in the pavilion at this time.
"King Nan'an. Yelan arched her hand.
Yejun paused, threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and raised his eyes to look at Yelan, revealing an unpredictable depth in his eyes, and he couldn't see the depth.
Nan'an Wang Yejun is the third son of Emperor Zhaoning, and the son born to Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Xiang.
Yejun is a prince who does not seek fame and fortune, and has never had the slightest interest in the affairs of the throne. He has achieved a lot in the literary world, studied under the master Kong Mengde of Jiuchen literature, is his close disciple, and his poems are quite popular in Jiuchen, so Nan'an Wang Yejun is deeply loved by Jiuchen literati.
At the same time, Yejun is also a top figure in the business world of Jiuchen, and he is very proficient in business, and has opened many stores of jewelry and clothing and other things in Jiuchen, of course, he does not use the name of Yejun - he took a vest for himself, called Jun Rushui, Yefan once laughed and called it like a female name. Yejun has never belonged to any party, gets along well with his brothers, and has a very good personal relationship with Yefan, and he is also Yefan's most respected brother besides Yelan.
"His Royal Highness the King of the Sun is about to go on an expedition, and I specially inscribed a banner for you, which can be regarded as a gesture of affection. Yejun said as he took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Yelan.
Yelan shook the scroll, only to see that it was inscribed "Victory, success", and the eight characters were vigorous and powerful with the pen. ——Yejun's calligraphy enjoys the holy oracle in Jiuchen, especially the best calligraphy, and Emperor Zhaoning is full of praise after reading it.
Yelan rolled the scroll back to its original state, but commented lightly, "The folk say that giving birth to a child should be like a night child, and it seems that this is true." Wang Nan'an is outstanding in literature, and he writes well, and he is really loved by the people. ”
"Seriously. Yejun took a leisurely sip of tea, "The newly picked Biluochun in the south of the Yangtze River?"
"It's a new leaf. Yelan said lightly, "Newly cultivated varieties." ”
"It's me who is alone. ”
"Looking for me?" Yelan also sat down, "Reinvent the next game." ”
Yejun put all the chess pieces back on the chessboard, raised his eyes to look at Yelan, and said lightly, "You first." ”
Yelan was not humble either, and fell directly. Yejun glanced at it, took a chess piece from the chess box, and gently landed next to Yelan Luozi with his hand. "I'm here to bring you weapons. ”
"Huh?" Yelan paused slightly.
"I made a lot of money from the business I opened outside, and I heard that you were going to take the reserves on the expedition, and I estimated that the reserves did not have any good weapons, so I ordered someone to purchase enough weapons for you from the largest weapons procurement site in Kyoto. ”
"Which business name do you own?"
"Qingxi. Nightlord replied simply.
"Huh?"
"Where the heart goes, where the love goes. The son is in love, and he is happy. Seeing that Yelan was at a loss, Yejun explained, "This is what I did when I traveled to Qingchuan, and I took the word Qingxi from it to make the name of the business. ”
"It sounds like a love poem, which girl do you have a crush on?"
"It's just that when I face the clear river, I feel it, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers is what I yearn for. The Night Monarch glanced at him, "Stain the literary world." ”
"I'm not as proficient in the literary world as His Royal Highness King Nan'an. But why you take the word Xi, I don't understand very well. ”
"Most of the shops I own are clothing rouge stores, and this kind of name is the one that captures the hearts of girls the most. ”
"You didn't open a restaurant?" Ye Lan suddenly became curious, so he opened his mouth to ask Ye Jun.
"I opened one, called Yunmeng, in Haria, the capital of Sakha Province, where you are going. The Night Lord replied.
"Why is it located on the side?"
"There are big business opportunities in the side plug. As soon as Yejun talked about this, he became excited, "In the bitter cold of the border, most of the famous restaurants are opened in the rich Kyoto and the surrounding areas of Kyoto. They think that the people of Biansai are poor and can't get oil and water there, and I opened the restaurant there because I was a monopoly and there was no competitive pressure. And the food in my Yunmeng restaurant is excellent, so naturally the people will throw money at me. ”
"But the income of the people in Biansai is not high, and you can't make anything. ”
"You don't understand the truth that little things add up?"
"I don't understand. ”
"That is to say, there are many people who eat, even if the money given is small, so you can earn money by accumulating it in this way. What's more, I have some preferential activities from time to time, and there are many people who come, and I recommend this place to familiar people. One to ten, ten to hundred, now my Yunmeng Restaurant has spread throughout the Biansai area, and now there are countless people who come every day, and the profit is more than opening a clothing store rouge gouache shop. Yejun excitedly told Yelan about his achievements.
"I don't think you should be a prince, you should definitely be a businessman. Yelan nodded sincerely.
"This king is a rich businessman who is delayed by his identity, or a god in the literary world......" Ye Lan said this, and Ye Jun also began to sigh.
"His Royal Highness King Nan'an, can I understand that you are narcissistic?" Yelan raised her eyebrows and teased Yejun.
Yejun smiled, "When His Royal Highness the King of Light began to say more, I remember that the King of Light was originally nicknamed King Leng by everyone. ”
Yelan smiled and didn't say anything, so Yejun didn't ask much.
The two were silent for a while, and Yelan took out a chess piece from the chess box and landed on the chessboard leisurely. "You paid me to buy weapons...... I don't think it's so kind. ”
Yejun glanced at him, took a chess piece from his chess box, and landed without thinking, "I want you to do me a favor." ”
"If it's not someone who hurt me, I can say yes. Yelan lightly landed another one on the chessboard.
"Don't you ask me what I want you to do?"
"You helped me, I owe you a favor, and naturally I should pay it back. Yelan's face was very calm, "It's your turn." ”
Yejun paused, and casually landed next to Yelan, "The commander of your expedition this time is a reserve, so I'll come to you for this busy." ”
"Then you want me to be a reservist. Yelan unhurriedly grabbed a chess piece and fell.
Yejun thought for a moment, gently pinched a chess piece with his hand, and placed it in the place that blocked Yelan's chess path. "You are now the supreme commander of the Abdominal Heart Division, and it is more convenient to command the entire Abdominal Heart Division. ”
"Then why did you want to remove this position in the first place? ”
"I don't like it. Yejun replied simply, "I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to get involved, so it's better than the beauty of an adult." ”
"Wise and wise. ”
"The literary world is my art industry. Yejun added lightly. "What's more, you and I both understand that the heart department is the emperor's cronies, and its status is equivalent to that of the Iron Army. The heart of the abdomen is to do things for the emperor, and others naturally dare not be embarrassed, so the position of commander is naturally a position that many people are jealous of, and this official is not easy to be. What about this trip to troubled waters...... I don't want to flow. ”
"Threw it at me. Yelan glanced at him.
"Didn't you do it voluntarily?" the Night King seemed to ask, and seemed to laugh rather than smile.
"Okay, I volunteered. Yelan shrugged, even if he had admitted defeat.
"I've written the list, and it's best to deal with it in the next few days. Yejun took a letterhead from his bosom and handed it to Yelan.
Yelan took it, and without looking at it, he put it in his arms, "I know, I'll give it to you as soon as possible." ”
"Don't you ask me why?" Seeing Yelan's indifferent look, Yejun couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Why do you want to be a reservist? I don't have that curiosity. Yelan replied lightly.
"Now that I'm done, I'll go first. Yejun got up and was about to leave, but Yelan stopped him.
"I just dropped a few pieces, and I haven't finished playing chess, so I'm done sitting down. ”
Yejun glanced at the chessboard, then at Yelan, retracted his feet, sat down again, and dropped a chess piece with his hand. Yelan was silent, and also took a chess piece from the chess box and fell. About a quarter of an hour passed, and the outcome of the chess game was gradually decided, and finally Yelan narrowly defeated Yejun, who was about to leave, Yelan suddenly said, "Where did you get the weapon from?"
"The royal special approval, called the Royal Weapons Purchase Yard, has brought you 5,000 bows, tens of thousands of arrows, 10,000 spears, and 10,000 armor shields. Oh, and thousands of swords, guns, swords, and axes. I didn't think about the cavalry, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of the reservists is also very poor, and it is useless to give weapons, which is a bit wasteful. Yejun thought for a moment and added, "It cost a lot of money, but this time it should be paid." ”
"Actually, I want to say...... The soldiers of the reserve are not my personal soldiers, so you buy them weapons...... No good for me. ”
"Who said that. The Night Monarch immediately retorted to him, "They will remember your kindness, maybe they will kill the enemy more fiercely on the battlefield, and the credit will not be credited to you in the end." Otherwise, it will repay you in times of crisis, in short, not to waste. ”
"Okay. Yelan nodded mechanically, "Sure enough, you will never be able to talk about the mouth of a literati." ”
