When he arrived at Guwang's Mansion, Zhu Lu was obviously stunned when he came out, probably because he didn't expect so many people to come to his house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment and immediately said with a smile: "All come to Uncle Nineteen's house as a guest?" Welcome, welcome, usually we are husband and wife in the palace, if only the nieces could come over to see us every day these days. ”

Then everyone greeted each other for a while, and Yun Xi took Zhu Xi's hand and walked into the palace.

At this time, it was noon, and Yun Xi felt a little hungry, but Zhu Xi did not take them to eat, but went to the living room to chat first.

Yun Xi noticed that he had instructed his housekeeper some words, and also noticed that the direction that the housekeeper was going in after listening to Zhu Lu's instructions should be the dining room of the Gu Wang's Mansion, and he immediately realized in his heart: "Zhu Xi didn't expect so many people to come to his house for dinner, and the lunch preparation was not enough to order the chef to make it." ’

After that, Zhu Yu chatted with Yunxi and them, and called his princess out to accompany Yunying and them. However, Yun Xi saw that Princess Gu Zhou could not talk to Yun Ying and Yun Lan at all, except that she could talk to Yun Zhi and others.

She is the daughter of a commanding envoy, although she was referred to as the future princess of the valley around the age of ten, and the family is also pampered, but she still can't be compared with the princess in the palace. What's more, Yun Zhi is equivalent to being brought to such a big age by an eldest brother like Yun Xi like a father, and they will not have a common language.

Moreover, Yun Xi turned his head to chat with Zhu Xi, and soon noticed that Zhu Xi seemed to be suspected of patting his horses, "But why is he a vassal king slapping his own horses?" Want to seal it for real? Yun Xi thought. This seems to be the only answer.

After a while, the old housekeeper walked up to Zhu Xi and whispered something in his ear, Zhu Xi smiled at Yun Xi and said, "Yun Xi, Uncle Nineteen, I'm already hungry, let's go eat." "Zhu Xi called him by his first name at Yun Xi's strong request, because Yun Xi always felt uncomfortable calling himself 'Your Majesty' during family banquets.

Yun Xi smiled: "Then let's go." ”

During the meal, Zhu Xi's intentions were even more obvious, and he was not only patting Yunxi's horses, but also wanted to talk to Yunxi alone.

Yun Ying and the others also noticed Zhu Lu's more and more obvious intentions, but they couldn't leave the table in the middle of the meal, that would be even worse, so they could only finish the meal.

When she finished lunch, Yun Ying immediately said, "I still have some things at home, so I won't bother Uncle Nineteen too much." Lan'er, Yun'er, and Zhi'er, don't you three also have things in the palace? Sister will send you back. ”

Yun Lan had also noticed that Zhu Lu had something to say to Yun Xi alone, and agreed; Yun Yun obviously didn't know what was going on, and just wanted to speak, Yun Zhi pulled some sleeves, and finally didn't say anything.

After they all left, Yun Xi saw that there were only two of them, uncle and nephew, and said, "Uncle Nineteen, what can I say now." ”

Zhu Lu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's really not good for Yunying and them to hear today's events, otherwise they will definitely be treated well." ”

Zhu Lu continued: "Yunxi, I got two tiger skins in Xuanfu, one of which is still a white tiger skin, and I will give it to you. He said as he motioned to the guards.

The guard knew at a glance that he had been preparing for a long time, and immediately took out two tiger skins as if he was doing a trick, and placed them on the table in front of Yun Xi very quickly. It was so fast that Yun Xi didn't have time to react, and the two tiger skins had been neatly placed in front of him.

Yun Xi was a little stunned for a while: How many times have the guards of the Gu Wangfu practiced this unique skill? It's much faster than the professional stall builders I've seen on the street, 'In the future, even if you don't work as a guard, you can make a living just by relying on this skill.'" Yun Xi thought.

Only then did he notice the two tiger skins in front of him. The one on the right is just that, an ordinary tiger skin, and a hole, although it is also very valuable, but it is nothing in front of Yun Xi.

But the one on the left is different, the white tiger skin with no miscellaneous hair on the whole body, and there is no damage at all, even if it is not in the palace now.

Yun Xi rubbed the white tiger skin and praised: "Uncle Nineteen, this tiger skin is really good, very good." ”

Zhu Xi saw that Yunxi was in a good mood, and echoed and said: "When I went out to hunt in Layue, I took the guards to the tiger on the right first. Originally, I wanted to go back because I had been out for a few days, but when I wanted to return, I met a group of hunters, and they hunted a white tiger and was about to skin it. ”

"Of course I bought this tiger skin. Tiger bones and tiger meat were also bought, and the tiger meat was eaten because it could not be stored for a long time, and the tiger bones were soaked in wine. I heard the old man in the house say that the tiger bones need to be soaked for a few more days; I thought that there would be no lack of tiger bones in the palace, so I didn't bring them. ”

"These two tiger skins are dedicated to my Emperor Majesty of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Lu's last sentence said half-jokingly.

Yun Xi also smiled: "Then I will be disrespectful." He instructed the guards to put away the two tiger skins.

Zhu Xi was very happy to see Yun Xi, and wanted to make him even happier, and said, "Yun Xi, do you still remember the battle of Mobei more than four years ago?" ”

Yun Xi fell silent when he heard this. The battle more than four years ago was a pain in his heart, although the Mongol tribe was completely annihilated in the end, but the people who died in the process will never survive.

'Tomorrow I will go to the Temple of Heroes and the Temple of Valhalla to pay homage to them. Yun Xi thought.

Zhu Xi saw that Yun Xi's expression became a little sad and a little ugly, and he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what I brought this time is good news." Do you remember what you told me about the sudden rain of arrows that came out of the woods and saved your life? ”

"I've found those people!"

"What?" Yun Xi was surprised and said, "You found those people?" How did you find it? ”

Yun Xi first felt surprise, but the next thought was doubt: those people left at that time, obviously didn't care about any reward, he had been looking for many months near Huailai City and couldn't find it, how did Zhu Xi find it?

'It can't be that Zhu Lu has been looking for these people for the past few years, right? Yun Xi thought. If that's the case, then Yun Xi doesn't like it, it's an act of not doing his job.

Zhu Lu said: "Your Majesty, it is a coincidence to be able to find a few of them. ”

"Didn't I just say that when I was in the moon, I went out of the city to hunt, and I met a group of hunters who bought the white tiger skin from them. These hunters are those who were back then. ”

"It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it, just so coincidentally that you ran into it?" Yoon-hee was even more skeptical.

Zhu Lu also knew that such a coincidental thing would definitely not be easily believed, so he said: "Among them, those old hunters said that they were too old to come to the capital, but more than a dozen young people were brought to the capital by me, and I asked them to come to the saint?" ”

"Let them come up, and I'll see you too." Yun Xi said half curiously and half confused.

After a while, a dozen young men of about twenty years of age, who were dressed in brocade clothes, but it was obvious at a glance that they were not used to wearing them, and that they were dark-skinned, walked in. Yun Xi noticed that their expressions were very blank at first, and after seeing Yun Xi, they became very nervous and curious, and some people felt as if they were going to say something to the people around them.

At this time, one of the guards coughed lightly, and they knelt on the ground as if they had been trained in some kind and shouted, "The grass people have seen the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

Yunxi also noticed that not only did they have dark skin, but their exposed bodies were also full of muscles, and their left wrists and right fingers were full of calluses, but there were far fewer calluses on their palms.

Yun Xi immediately concluded that they should really be Orion. It's not that the people in the army are without excellent archers, but the people in the army have similar habits, and Yun Xi doesn't feel the slightest habit of the army in them; And the people in the army would never react like this when they saw Yun Xi for the first time, even if they couldn't pretend, not to mention that no one dared to pretend like this.

Yun Xi waited for them to kowtow three times and then said gently, "Get up." ”

When they got up, Yun Xi asked them a few words, making sure that they should be the ones who saved their lives. Not only because although they were nervous, they answered correctly, but also because the reckless aura on their bodies from the deep mountains and old forests could never be disguised.

Yun Xi first turned his head sideways and said with a smile to Zhu Xi: "Uncle Nineteen, you are really lucky, you went out to hunt and met my life-saving benefactor." Then he turned his head to them and said, "What you did back then was a great reward." Tell me what you want. ”

The leader is Chen Hu's son Chen Lijie. When he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, we want to ask the Emperor to give us all the mountains and forests." ”

"I immediately issued an order to the people of Xuanfu. Anything else? ”

"Your Majesty, we want the Emperor to give us a lot of rhino horn and other medicinal herbs."

"Yes, I'll have the hospital send it right away. However, you must keep in mind that these herbs also have a time limit, and after a few decades, they will have no medicinal power and cannot be used as family heirlooms. Anything else? ”

Chen Lijie said: "The grass people don't have any requirements. ”

Yun Xi was surprised and asked, "What, what are you asking for for these rewards?" ”

Chen Lijie said: "The grass people have no other requirements. ”

Yun Xi sighed in his heart and said, "Although you don't have any other requirements, I can't just reward you with these things. I have rewarded your village with a thousand stones of grain and a hundred pieces of fine blades, and the people in the village can see that the officials do not worship. ……”

Then he said, "Are you willing to stay by my side as an official?" Yun Xi saw them like this, and thought about keeping them by his side, even if he was unapologetic, he would be a guard.

Chen Lijie looked a little hesitant. The old man in his family told him to hurry home, but he didn't want to go back after seeing the prosperity of the capital; But his deep-rooted thoughts over the years made him dare not disobey his father's words, so he didn't know how to answer. The same goes for everyone else.

Yun Xi was also a little puzzled, but Zhu Xi knew their situation and said it in Yun Xi's ear.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I have given you a decree to stay by my side as officials. Do you still want to resist the decree? ”

Even the hunters in the mountains knew that it was a sin to kill their heads to resist the decree, so they hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people don't dare! ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I will keep you by my side as a guard first, and if you have talent, I will appoint another person."
