Chapter Forty-Six: The Prince's Warning
Wu Jin gave a deep bow to the crown prince, and said with sincere fear: "Your Highness's kindness to our brothers, Wu Jin remembers it, and Wu Jin does not dare to forget it for a while." β
Huang Fuheng stared at him for a long time, and seeing that his attitude was sincere, his face finally softened a little, so he said to him lightly, "Since you are already the captain of Meihuawei, why don't you work hard in Meihuawei, but wander around, others know about it, and they think that I gave you privileges, Wujin, this is not good." β
Wu Jin hurriedly explained, "Because I just arrived in the capital and have a lot of personal trivialities, I specially asked General Li Yan for leave, and General Li Yan gave me five days of vacation to arrange personal affairs. β
"I see, what personal business did you do today?" Huang Fuheng was still calm and asked him without a trace.
Wu Jin didn't hide it, so he briefly said that he went to the treasure building to sell gems, and took out the invitation card that Qi Mao gave him, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect the Qi family to be so hospitable, I just made friends with the Qi family, and even invited me to participate in the birthday of the old man Qi." β
Huang Fuheng looked at the invitation card and returned it to him, "It's not strange, the Qi family is from Pingjiang County, Donghai County, you are fellow villagers, and you have a fate to meet in the capital, it is normal for him to invite you, and I will also go to the birthday when the time comes, we can go together." β
"I am willing to protect the prince!"
"There is no need for escorts, we all have invitations, and we are all guests of Qi Mansion."
After a pause, Huang Fuheng smiled and asked, "In addition to selling gems, do you have any other personal affairs?" β
Wu Jin knew that Huang Fuheng wanted to know what he did later, and to be more frank, he wanted to know what he and Shao Jingwen had talked about?
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I went to Su Mansion again today, I wanted to know when Mrs. Su would go back, but I met Shao Jingwen, he said that he was protecting the safety of Su Mansion, and invited me to drink at noon."
Huang Fuheng's face changed, he wanted to be silent, but he still couldn't restrain the annoyance in his heart, and said coldly: "I thought you were enemies of life and death, but I didn't expect you to have a friendship in private, hehe!" It's quite unexpected! β
Wu Jin showed a panicked expression, and hurriedly explained: "The humble position wanted to reject him in one bite, but he said that he wanted to apologize for yesterday's incident, and the humble position said that there was no need to apologize, and he said that there was still something important to tell the humble position, and the stakes were very high, so ..... He was confused for a while, so he went with him. β
"What a big deal!" Huang Fuheng had completely torn off his disguise, and he was like an eagle, staring at Wu Jin viciously, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"I thought it was a big deal, and I was very nervous, but he said that he admired me for shooting a crossbow better, and wanted to invite me to embroider clothes to do teaching, but I refused."
"Is it that simple? I don't think you're going to say that! β
The reward that Huang Fuheng got was that they talked for a long time, and it was by no means as simple as a sentence.
Wu Jin had already realized that if he wanted to pass today's pass, it would be impossible not to give the prince a little benefit, so he thought about it and said, "I also talked about the matter of the emperor's appearance." β
"Why do you want to say Huangfu Yibiao?"
"Because we're talking about his son, Huangfu, handsome."
Huang Fu Heng's face softened slightly, and he admitted Wu Jin's logic, "What do you say about Huang Fu Yi's expression?" β
"Speaking of that case, he said that after Huangfu Yibiao was overthrown, Lord Su recommended me as the Lieutenant of Weiyang County, but His Royal Highness only gave me the Captain of the Cloud Cavalry in the end."
When he said this, Wu Jin even brought a little dissatisfaction and resentment, as if he cared about this matter very much, as if he was dissatisfied with only one honorable officer, as if he didn't realize what was hidden behind this sentence, he saw that Huang Fuheng's face immediately changed greatly, and he couldn't help but admire Huang Fuheng's quick response, he only reacted on the way to the East Palace.
Huang Fuheng's face was extremely ugly, Su Hanzhen's letter was usually placed in his study, but Uncle Shen Guo actually knew the content of the letter, indicating that there were thieves in his study, and there were eight eunuchs in his study who were responsible for cleaning, and one of these eight eunuchs betrayed him, which was an extremely important piece of information.
Huang Fuheng's face finally softened, he believed what Wu Jin said, he also believed that there was Wei Ming in his hands, Wu Jin did not dare to betray him, he had already given Wu Jin a warning, and he needed to give Wu Jin a little sweetness next.
"You're right, Lord Su is a letter to protect you as the lieutenant of Weiyang County, the reason why I didn't agree is because you don't have the qualifications of a warrior, and I can't persuade the officials to appoint you, so I want you to make good use of you after entering Beijing, I will promote you to a first-class guard in one step, this is already a six-rank military attachΓ©, you are only eighteen years old, this can only be done by the children of the royal family, and you have been exceptionally promoted, do you understand?"
"The lowly office understands, so the lowly duty is grateful to His Highness."
Huang Fu Heng's face showed a smug smile, just like Wu Jin was still counting the money for him after he was sold, he patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, "I will reuse it, and I will also reuse you, no matter what you do, you need an important qualification, you go to the samurai exam!" The higher the level of the exam, the higher the position you can get, August 20 is the samurai exam, the registration has long been closed, I will make a special name for you! β
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ Leaving the East Palace, Wu Jin felt very worried in his heart, he was not worried about himself, he was not afraid that Uncle Shen Guo would assassinate him, he had enough ability to protect himself, he was worried about Wei Ming, becoming a hostage of Huang Fu Heng, he was almost at a loss, rescued Wei Ming from the East Palace?
It's almost impossible, and Wei Ming himself is unwilling to leave the East Palace, Wu Jin has already seen that Wei Ming has decided to die for Huang Fuheng, and for his own career, he is copying Su Hanzhen's path.
But he is not as simple as working hard for Huang Fu Heng, Huang Fu Heng is using him to win over the king of Lanling County, and now he can only discuss countermeasures with the king of Lanling County.
After going around Wujin, I found that the king of Lanling County was the only person he could trust.
He rushed back to the Lanling County Mansion from the East Palace, and when he rode to the gate of Guiyifang, he quickly glanced back, he paid special attention all the way, and indeed found that someone was following and monitoring, and this person's martial arts were quite high, higher than Tianxing, indicating that there were capable people around the prince, if it wasn't for Shao Jingwen's point, it would be really difficult for him to find himself being monitored.
He sped up his horse and returned to the gate of the palace, and he suddenly found that there was a gorgeous carriage parked at the gate, and there were nearly a hundred horseback guards around the carriage.
He was wondering, the door suddenly opened, and the king of Lanling County personally sent an important minister out, only to hear him laugh and say: "Thank you Uncle Guo for coming to visit the old man in person, what happened yesterday, I know that it has nothing to do with Uncle Guo..."
Wu Jin suddenly understood, it turned out that this person was Uncle Shen Guo, and it was the first time he had seen it, but when Uncle Shen Guo turned around, Wu Jin knew that he was Uncle Shen Guo, and he looked too similar to his son Shen Qiwu, which was the difference between an older version and a younger version.
Uncle Shen also saw Wu Jin at a glance when he turned his head, this young man was tall and strong, heroic, and full of explosive power, his intuition told him that this young man should be the emperor Wu Jin, Shao Jingwen should have met him today, and I don't know how to talk about it?
His face showed a kind of kind of friendly smile like an elder to a junior, "Your Royal Highness, this is..."
"This is my old child, called Huangfu Wujin!"
Huangfu Jiang beckoned to Huangfu Wujin, and said with a smile: "Wujin, let me introduce you, this is Uncle Shen, you should have heard of the name for a long time!" β
Wu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "It turned out to be Lord Shen, the juniors have been famous for a long time, and yesterday the juniors drank too much wine and collided with Shen Gongzi, please forgive me." β
Uncle Shen's eyes narrowed into a slit, "I don't need to mention yesterday's incident, it was Huangfu Yingjun who did it first, don't blame the virtuous nephew, Shen Qiwu also failed to stop it in time, and he is also responsible, so I came to apologize to the county prince today." β
Huangfu Jiang pretended to be unhappy and said: "Uncle Guo, don't mention the apology again, otherwise I will never welcome Uncle Guo to come to the door in the future." β
"Okay, don't mention it! Don't mention it! β
Uncle Shen Guo and Huangfu Jiang laughed together, and he arched his hand again, "Then I will leave!" β
Uncle Shen Guo walked down the steps, patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up, "The virtuous nephew can be called the first in the world in shooting crossbows, when will I guide my fourth son Qi Jun, he is also good at martial arts, but he lacks the guidance of a famous teacher." β
Wu Jin smiled slightly, "Lord Shen is famous all over the world, will there be a shortage of famous teachers?" β
Uncle Shen Guo smiled, "There is no famous teacher who shoots crossbows, how about it, give me this face?" β
Wujin has to admire these people, all of them are like human spirits, Huangfu Heng is far-sighted and secretly killing, and this Uncle Shen Guo is both soft and hard, step by step, on the one hand, he wants to put Huangfu to death behind his back, on the other hand, he comes to apologize, and uses the momentum to force himself to agree, as long as he agrees, Uncle Shen's son will come to the door tomorrow, will Huang Fuheng let himself go?
If he didn't agree, the Assassin would come to the door tomorrow, leaving him with no choice.
Wu Jin smiled faintly, and replied to him softly and firmly, "Where do I dare to call my crossbow method the first in the world, the high waiter of the Criminal Department shoots out of thin air, and the arrow is not missing, that is the first in the world, Lord Shen might as well hire him as the Xixi." β
He specially raised his voice a few points, and he could hear it from more than twenty steps away, Uncle Shen's face changed, staring at Wu Jin, and a murderous intent burst out in his eyes, but he immediately laughed, "The virtuous nephew is really joking, I'm just talking, I know that the virtuous nephew has just joined the plum blossom guard, and he is very busy, so don't disturb the virtuous nephew." β
He patted Wu Jin's shoulder heavily, the power of patting the shoulder was full of threat, he bowed his hand to Huangfu Jiang again, got into the carriage, the carriage started, and quickly drove away from the county king's mansion, more than 100 guards urged the war horses, guarding the carriage gradually moving away.
Huangfu Jiang slowly stepped forward and smiled at Wu Jin, "You seem to be in trouble." β
Wu Jin smiled bitterly, "It's big trouble!" β
Huangfu Jiang nodded, "Okay, go to my study and talk to see if I can help you solve it." β
