The Taishan faction's martial arts hall business is very good, not only because the Taishan faction's signboard and martial arts are significantly higher than the coaches of other martial arts halls, but also because Ling Kun comes from the marketing methods of later generations.

Both men and women in the city of Qizhou wanted to learn a few tricks in the Taishan Sect Martial Arts Hall, which could be used to defend (shēn) or to make a living.

Early in the morning, the brothers and sisters all began to train the students, Ling Kun as the big shopkeeper, Shangguan Chengcheng as the head coach, but they didn't need to do anything, so they went to Zhao Mingyue's finance room to taste a delicious breakfast together.

At this time, someone came to report: "Big shopkeeper, there is someone outside who wants to see you." ”

"Seeing what I'm doing, if you want to learn martial arts, you have to follow the procedure, first find the second senior brother to check, and no one wants to go through the back door." Ling Kun waved his hand and said, in the past few days, some dignitaries and nobles from Qizhou have come to the door, trying to get special care for their children and nephews here.

"That's what we told him, but he said he didn't learn martial arts, he came from the capital, his name was Chen Yaosuo, and he wanted to see the big treasurer."

"Chen Yaosuo? Privy Counsellor? Zhao Mingyue put down her chopsticks and frowned: "What is he doing here?" ”

"It's all here, it's okay to see him, let him in." Ling Kun said.

Not long after, Chen Yaosu came in and first knelt down to pay homage to Zhao Mingyue: "Chen Yaosuo, the minister, greets the eldest princess (diàn), Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Lord Chen is very polite, I am not a princess anymore, and now I am a commoner, and I can't afford such a big gift from my lord." Zhao Mingyue said coldly.

Chen Yaosuo kowtowed in embarrassment, and then bowed his hand to Ling Kun and said, "Lord Ling, it's always good to see more (rì) than you see?" The emperor is very concerned about the princess and the adult. ”

"Poof-" The soy milk in Ling Kun's mouth squirted out, and he scolded, "He still has the face to worry about us, is there still oil and water on us (shēn) that hasn't been squeezed dry?" ”

Chen Yaosuo was taken aback, and hurriedly interrupted Ling Kun: "Lord Ling is cautious, how can you be disrespectful to the emperor?" ”

Ling Kun sneered and said: "Lord Chen came here, what is the matter, do you want to send your grandson to me to learn martial arts, let's say it in advance, I don't have a discount here, what price it should be." ”

Chen Yaosuo was extremely angry, thinking that Lao Tzu was the privy deputy envoy and still lacked that money, but he didn't dare to say it, so he smiled reluctantly: "Lord Ling said that he was joking, since the eldest princess said goodbye, the emperor was really concerned, and specially sent me to invite the two to return to Beijing, and the emperor said that Lord Ling had a meritorious role in killing Li Jiqian, and the matter of escaping from prison was not mentioned, and there was a reward after going back." ”

Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but sneer, Zhao Heng must have encountered something difficult to do before he came to invite them. She still said coldly: "Lord Chen, you have also seen it, we are here (tǐng) good, we have money to spend, we have something to do, we have a happy life, and we don't worry about others, please go back." ”

"This-" Chen Yaosu was embarrassed, and after a while, Xu You said: "(diàn), general, the old man will tell you the truth, the emperor and the court are currently in unprecedented danger, and I want to ask the two of you to help." ”

Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Chen Yaosuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "Not long ago, the Liao State was dispatched, and an army of 400,000 attacked the Hebei Plain, and now it has arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is the Yellow River in a blink of an eye. The emperor has decided to drive the expedition in person, but after all, the odds are not great, and the eldest princess and the general are invited to see the emperor's face and the safety of the people, and return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Mingyue was slightly shocked in her heart, but her face was silent.

Ling Kun smiled and said: "Lord Chen, this kind of national affairs, we ordinary people are not easy to interfere in, I believe that the emperor will be blessed with Qitian, with the assistance of all the adults, we will be able to pray for the court and the emperor in Qizhou." It's not too early, we have to work to earn money, so please do it. ”

With that, Ling Kun drank the last sip of soy milk, wiped his mouth and walked out, and Zhao Mingyue and Shangguan Chengcheng also went out.

Chen Yaosu stood awkwardly in the local area, not knowing what to do, as a close minister of the emperor (shēn), he can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, when did he encounter this kind of treatment? He really wanted to call the Jingdong Road transfer envoy over and seal this big martial arts hall.

However, can he do this, of course he can't. Even the emperor has to bow to them now, let alone himself. What should I do, I beg with my face on my face, otherwise how will I go back.

He gritted his teeth, followed out, recognized Zhao Mingyue and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty the princess (diàn), the emperor and the court are already in danger, please the eldest princess for the sake of the emperor and ancestors, go back to Beijing to help." ”

Zhao Mingyue avoided the direction where Chen Yaosu was kneeling, and said in a cold voice: "Lord Chen, please go back, I'm just a woman, and there is nothing I can do about the affairs of the imperial court." ”

Chen Yaosuo said bitterly: "Eldest princess, before coming, His Majesty gave a death order, please don't return to the eldest princess, Weichen can only apologize, if the eldest princess doesn't agree, the old man can only kneel here." ”

Zhao Mingyue snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, and personally instructed a five-year-old elementary school student on the basics of practice.

Chen Yaosu recognized Zhao Mingyue kneeling, firstly, because Zhao Mingyue was a woman, and she was connected to the emperor's bone (ròu), so she was easy to be soft-hearted. Second, he knew that as long as he could invite Zhao Mingyue back, Ling Kun would come uninvited. Thirdly, Zhao Mingyue (shēn) is noble, and it is not a shame to kneel here.

Ling Kun knew what he was thinking, walked over and squatted in front of Chen Yaosuo, and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, you have also seen it, we are trading so well now, how much money will be delayed for a day, so don't waste your efforts, go back quickly." ”

"The general laughed, how much money can be there, as long as you return to Beijing, the emperor will definitely reward you."

"Boss, have you heard the story of the little white rabbit and the little gray rabbit?" Ling Kun asked with a grin.

Chen Yaosuo shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, please make it clear to the general." ”

"Once upon a time—of course, there was one—" Ling Kun told the story of the little white rabbit again slowly, with added fuel and vinegar. Then he said, "So, we really don't have the gift of anyone, we just want to do it ourselves, you know? ”

Chen Yaosuo, who was kneeling on the ground, endured the severe pain in his knees, and barely listened to the story of this dog (pì) that coaxed children, and the beads of sweat on his face were dripping and falling, so he could only nod his head and answer: "Understood, understood." ”

"Lord Chen's consciousness is high, then you continue, I want to make money." Ling Kun said, standing up and going to inspect the training ground.

Chen Yaosuo (yù) cried without tears and crawled on the ground unable to move.

Zhao Mingyue and Shangguan Chengcheng pulled Ling Kun aside and said, "What should I do, Chen Yaosuo is a lot older, and it's not a problem to always kneel like this." ”

"yes, it's weird, let's find a way to let him go."

Ling Kun looked at Zhao Mingyue and asked word by word: "Mingyue, it's up to you, do you want to go back?" ”
