Chapter 130: The Emperor's List
Midnight.
A clear moon hung high in the night sky, sprinkling a little silver light, and the trees on the street cast a dappled spot in this silver light.
A black carriage clattered on the deserted street, looking particularly deserted.
As the carriage swayed, the curtain was gently blown by the breeze, and the moonlight reflected on Hua Qianyue's side face through the curtain, leaving a shadow.
"Aren't you quite able to say it, why don't you say it?"
Qi Haotian had a calm face, and there was a hint of gunpowder in his voice.
Hua Qianyue sighed, her slender little white hand holding her chin and her eyes focused on the fluttering curtain.
"You think I want to, if it weren't for your nice cousin kicking me......"
She leaned back on the carriage, and her lazy voice was thick with tiredness.
Hearing this, Qi Haotian was silent for a moment.
"Why are you in trouble?"
His voice softened.
"Didn't you even think of asking me for help?"
"Have you ever thought about it, Hua Qianyue smiled sweetly, but if the third prince didn't slap his face hard, I would force internal injuries, did you see his face? I laughed to death. ”
Actually, she really wants to ask you for help? Can you help me once or twice, can you help me for the rest of my life?
But she also knew that if she said that, she would inevitably go around the issue she had been avoiding again, and it was messy enough now, and she didn't want to make any more trouble.
"He's a very vindictive person, I'm afraid he will take revenge on you."
"I haven't offended the queen mother, but you see how much she 'takes care' of me, thinking about me all the time, there are not many more three princes, and if there are more lice on the bald man's head, it won't itch, and besides, there are 5,000 elite soldiers."
Hua Qianyue opened her five fingers and shook it in front of Qi Haotian, with a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.
Things find your head, it's useless to hide, at the beginning in Liuxi Town, I was afraid of trouble to persuade my family to go to Beijing, but I didn't expect to get into more trouble in the capital, she can see it, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, only in this 'rivers and lakes', whether you want to or not, you are destined to be involved.
Hua Qianyue smiled lightly at Qi Haotian.
"Like you said, I can only wait for death except fighting, I don't want to die, so I can only fight."
Qi Haotian opened his mouth to say something, but he felt that no matter what he said, he seemed so pale and powerless.
The car fell silent, and even the clear moon on the horizon quietly hid in the clouds, leaving only the monotonous clatter of horses' hooves outside the car window.
Following.
The emperor was really resolute, and just after the early dynasty, the streets of the capital were plastered with notices recruiting merchants.
On the most lively street in the capital, people were surrounded by people under the imperial list, and everyone pointed at the imperial list.
"Get out of the way."
A man with five big and three thick men pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the innermost layer.
"What's written on it?"
The man stared at the imperial list and studied it for a long time, pointed to the imperial list and asked the middle-aged man who looked like a scribe beside him.
"Illiterate? What else is squeezed if you are illiterate. ”
The young man who had just been almost squeezed by this man and fell down pouted in dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with not being able to read, if you don't know how to read, you can't read the emperor's list?"
The man raised his eyebrows and glared at the young man, who hated it most in his life when others despised him for not being literate.
"Brother, don't be angry, you can't read or write, this emperor list writes that recruiting businessmen into the grassland, only recruiting people."
A middle-aged man who looked like a scribe spoke out to break the siege.
"Prairie?" The man smacked his lips, "Who wants to go to that barbarian land." ”
"Don't want to go?"
The young man was obviously on par with the man, and raised his eyebrows.
"Do you want to go to the city where you go? See? 5,000 elite soldiers with the team to protect, do you know what it means? The emperor sent elite soldiers to protect the merchants to do business, Shinong industry and commerce, since ancient times, the merchants are the last in the world, what is the intention? Think about it with your brain, and it's led by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, Hanako, do you know? An unknown country boy who came out of nowhere dominated the Beijing business district in just a few months. This in itself is enough to make people interesting, 5,000 elite soldiers plus business tycoons, you think about what kind of famous hall is here. ”
Listening to the young man's analysis, everyone nodded frequently.
"It seems to be a little interesting."
There was a lot of noise and excitement in front of the emperor's list, and the Fanjia restaurant across the street was unusually quiet because it didn't have a meal.
Fan Chenxi sat at the window on the third floor with a bamboo-blue Ge cloth and counted yesterday's entry refreshedly, and the abacus in one hand crackled.
Heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and Fan Zhong pushed the door in sweat.
"Childe, there are big things, there are big things."
Fan Chenxi raised his head and looked at Fan Zhong with empty hands, frowning.
"What about the things I asked you to buy?"
"What's going on out there going on?"
Fan Zhong was very arrogant, he didn't have any consciousness as a subordinate, and he picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.
"What's the big deal? More important than what I have ever told you. ”
Fan Chenxi clasped his hands on his chest and squinted at Fan Zhong and teased.
As a subordinate, there shouldn't be anything more important than what the master explains, right?
Fan Zhong spit out the tea leaves he accidentally ate into his mouth, and wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth with his sleeve.
"The emperor ordered Hanako to lead a caravan into the grassland."
"Where did the news come from?"
Fan Chenxi was also a little unable to sit still, why did he go into the grassland again after holding a banquet to celebrate his achievements yesterday?
"Who else is going to listen to this, the emperor list is all over the street!"
Hearing this, Fan Chenxi was silent for a moment, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
Fan Chenxi lifted the corner of his robe and stepped out, and Fan Zhong immediately raised his heel.
Sure enough, there was a lively crowd in front of the emperor's list, Fan Chenxi stared at it for a moment, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Childe made a mistake."
Fan Chenxi walked in the opposite direction of the restaurant, and Fan Zhong reminded him.
Childe is too exaggerated, you can go wrong when you look at the emperor's list.
"Let's go to the palace."
Fan Chenxi didn't look back, and the last sentence was an answer to Fan Zhong.
Go to the palace and ask the queen for help? But this is a matter for the emperor to decide, is it useful to ask the empress?
Fan Chenxi, who seemed to know what Fan Zhong was thinking, floated over and said: "Doesn't my father always say that I want to go and see more, I want to go out and take a look." ”
Fan Zhong gasped, and his voice became stammered.
"You...... That's how you decided? Want...... Do you want to talk to the old man...... Discuss?"
Go to the grassland, is that place for people? How can their young master's fine skin and tender meat go to that kind of place, I heard that there are a lot of snakes and insects in that place, and I heard that it is very inconvenient to take a bath or something where it is difficult to use water, which is used to going to that poor and remote place in the capital, how to live? There is a good saying, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
It is said that it is protected by 5,000 elite soldiers, what if? What if something happens, five thousand elite soldiers can conjure a young master for him? How did he explain to the master when he came back?
Even if you like that girl, you can't risk your life, right? Besides, there are a lot of good girls out there, and it doesn't have to be her, then again, people don't seem to have that meaning anything to you.
Of course, Fan Zhong could only say this sentence in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it openly.
