Shi Jian finally got his wish to get the position of commander of the patrol battalion, which can be said to be a little smoother than he imagined, but even so, his hatred for Shi Hu has not diminished at all, just because of Shi Hu's words to humiliate Shi Jian's mother.

Shi Jian returned to King Ning's Mansion at about three o'clock, Gao Shangzhi was still waiting for his news, seeing that there was still candlelight in the house, Shi Jian guessed that Gao Shangzhi was still there, so he gently pushed the door in, made a half salute, and asked with a smile: "My lord, it's so late, why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

Seeing Shi Jian and coming back, Gao Shangzhi hurriedly wanted to get up. After sitting for too long, Gao Shangzhi's legs and feet seemed to be a little numb, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, startling Shi Jian.

Shi Jian hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gao Shangzhi smiled and waved his hand, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, this person is old, his legs and feet are not good, and if he sits for a long time, his legs and feet are easy to be numb." ”

Gao Shangzhi said, was helped up by Shi Jian, then leaned against the wall, rubbed his leg with one hand, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister is very good." ”

"It's late at night, adults should go back early and rest."

Gao Shangzhi raised his head and asked, "I don't know what happened to the patrol battalion?" ”

Shi Jian smiled slightly, took out a holy decree from behind him, and handed it to Gao Shangzhi.

"What is this?" Gao Shang asked suspiciously, "Could it be done?" ”

Shi Jian stuffed the holy decree into the noble hand and said, "Your Excellency will know if you look at it. ”

Gao Shangzhi hurriedly opened the holy decree, and when he saw it, his face was first full of joy, and then solemn.

Seeing the change in the expression on Gao Shangzhi's face, Shi Jian asked, "What are you worried about?" This is exactly what this king wants, shouldn't you be happy? ”

"Originally, His Highness did not have this step in his plan, everything could be carried out quietly, and now although the commander of this patrol battalion is in his own hands, he has also pushed himself to the forefront!" Gao Shangzhi said, returned the holy decree to Shi Jian, put his hands behind his back, sighed, and said: "The matter has come to this point, no matter how much the old minister says, it is useless, the hot potato of the patrol camp, since we have caught it, we can't throw it anymore." ”

"Adults don't have to worry so much, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, you and I have been waiting for so many years, waiting for your lord, your hair is gray, will you wait for another twenty years?" Shi Jian looked at Gao Shangzhi with a solemn face, and said, "This king doesn't want to wait any longer!" The old immortal has lived long enough, and you have endured it for too long, too long, my lord! It's time to get back what we lost! ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded, and before he could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Shi Jian asked.

A man's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness Qiqi, Tan Yuan from King Qing's Mansion is here." ”

Shi Jian asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, just outside the mansion!"

"Your Highness, the movements of the Qingwang Mansion are fast enough." Gao Shangzhi said to Shi Jian.

Shi Jian sneered and said, "If you slow down, it's not like the usual style of Qingwangfu!" ”

The noble arched his hand and said, "Then the old minister will go first!" ”

Shi Jian nodded and said, "Slow down, adult!" ”

After Gao Shangzhi left, Shi Jian personally went to the gate to greet him, and as soon as the gate opened, he saw a person wearing a black cloak with his back to the gate of King Ning's mansion.

Hearing the movement behind him, the man turned around, and it was Tan Yuan.

Shi Jian opened the door of the mansion very politely, led the way sideways, and said, "Oops! Mr. Tan visited late at night, and Xiao Wang was disappointed! Come on, come on, inside please! ”

Tan Yuan smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning is polite, please!" ”

Entering King Ning's Mansion, by the candlelight and hazy moonlight in the dim lantern, Tan Yuan looked around at the grass, trees, bricks and tiles of King Ning's Mansion. Looking at Tan Yuan's uncertain eyes, Shi Jian pretended not to see it, but just smiled and led the way and chatted, while Tan Yuan responded without a word.

The two walked into the front hall, Tan Yuan looked at the few pillars in the room that had peeled off their color, and sighed with a smile: "Who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Ning, who is dignified, would actually live such a poor life as an ordinary family. ”

Shi Jian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let Mr. Tan laugh, the so-called phoenix sycamore, finch dwelling mud nest, and the humble house are worlds of difference compared to Qingwangfu." After all, Xiao Wang wants to compare with your Royal Highness, just like the stars and the sun and the moon. ”

Tan Yuan had hardly ever dealt with Shi Jian on weekdays, and in his impression, Shi Jian was nothing more than a cowardly and incompetent person. However, just after a few short sentences of exchange, Tan Yuan felt that this seemingly wasteful King Ning seemed to have a little brain.

"His Royal Highness King Ning is really humble, His Royal Highness King Qing and His Royal Highness have a deep brotherhood, if you had known that Your Highness was so poor, His Royal Highness King Qing would definitely be unbearable."

"His Royal Highness King Qing is polite." Shi Jian smiled a little stiffly, and suddenly said to Tan Yuan excitedly: "By the way, today Your Majesty suddenly announced that I have entered the palace, Mr. Tan must already know what is going on, right?" ”

Tan Yuan smiled slightly and replied, "I know, the villain is here for this matter!" ”

"Huh? No wonder! I'll just say it! Why did Your Majesty suddenly let me be the commander of the patrol battalion, it seems that it was the help of King Qing! Shi Jian said, looking for something on his body for some reason, and his clothes, which were already slightly shabby, were even more messy and sloppy.

Tan Yuan looked at Shi Jian with some disdain in his eyes and asked, "What is Your Highness looking for?" ”

Shi Jian glanced at Tan Yuan with some embarrassment and said, "No...... Didn't look for anything ......."

Tan Yuan watched Shi Jian rummage for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and said, "Found it." ”

Tan Yuan looked down, it turned out that Shi Jian had been looking for a long time, just for a small ingot of silver.

Shi Jian was a little embarrassed to stuff the ingot of silver to Tan Yuan, and said, "Mr. Tan, don't dislike it, I'm really shy in my pocket, this little money, just ask Mr. to have a small bar." ”

In the face of Shi Jian's seemingly ridiculous flattery, Tan Yuan looked a little helpless, and said: "Your Highness is polite, the villain won't take this money, you better keep it for yourself!" ”

Shi Jian's face was embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "Isn't Mr. Tan disgusted?" ”

Tan Yuan shook his head and said, "No, no, the villain is doing things for King Qing, how can he accept the benefits of His Royal Highness King Ning, if His Royal Highness King Qing knows, he must not pick up a layer of skin from the villain?" ”

"It's a shame to say that this Ning Wangfu is actually surrounded by four walls, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely thank Mr. Tan, but His Royal Highness King Qing is there, and I have to count on Mr. You have a lot of good words!"

Looking at Shi Jian's sincere and servile appearance, Tan Yuan's heart was undoubtedly greatly satisfied at this moment, and he pretended to be polite and said to Shi Jian: "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite. ”

Tan Yuan said, took out a bag from behind him, and handed it to Shi Jian. Shi Jian took it and found that the bag was heavy and seemed to contain a lot of things.

"What is this?" Shi Jian looked at Tan Yuan suspiciously.

Tan Yuan smiled and said, "This is a small gift from His Royal Highness King Qing for thinking of his brotherhood, congratulating His Royal Highness King Ning on your seat as the commander of the patrol battalion." ”

Shi Jian hurriedly opened it and saw that the bag was filled with pearls the size of dozens of pigeon eggs, and Shi Jian's face changed greatly on the spot, and he hurriedly returned the bag to Tan Yuan, and said, "My God, is it a small gift for such a precious price?" No, no, I can't ask for it! Sir, please tell His Royal Highness King Qing, I appreciate this kindness, but this gift is really precious! I definitely can't take it! ”

Tan Yuan smiled, unhurriedly stuffed the bag into Shi Jian's hand, and said: "These twenty East Pearls are the heart of His Royal Highness King Qing, His Royal Highness King Ning just refused, and the villain is not easy to deal with!" ”

Shi Jian's face was embarrassed: "This ......"

"Your Highness, just take it." Tan Yuan looked at Shi Jian and said, "By the way, His Royal Highness King Qing has a sentence that he wants the villain to convey on his behalf." ”

Shi Jian swallowed his saliva and asked a little nervously, "What words?" Please speak, sir! ”

His Royal Highness King Qing said that he and His Royal Highness King Ning had a deep brotherhood, but they were both excluded by people with ill intentions in the court. Now that His Royal Highness King Ning has become the commander of the Yecheng Patrol Battalion, His Royal Highness King Qing hopes that King Ning and King Qing's Mansion can work together and support each other, and they will definitely have blessings and hardships in the future. ”
