Chapter 338: Debt Collection
is a common sentence, but Chu Junlan is warm in his heart.
Chu Junlan looked at the front hall and said with a smile: "The prince might as well accompany me to the courtyard for a walk." ”
"Okay." Xiao Xu smiled.
Autumn was cold, the two walked hand in hand in the garden, Zi Yan and Jing Yu followed from a distance, looking at the two masters not far away under the color of gold and fallen leaves, only to feel that their figures were really right.
Jing Yu complained in a low voice: "If you don't have to face the saint first when you go back to Beijing, the prince is afraid that he will be the first to rush to your house, and he won't even drink a sip of water." ”
Zi Yan was proud: "That is, our girl is very popular." ”
Jingyu rolled her eyes.
Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu walked far away side by side, making sure that there were no others around, Xiao Xu said, "I heard about it when I came back." Your plan has worked. ”
Chu Junlan said with a smile: "In fact, this plan only hurts the villain and not the gentleman, if the people of Jinyi Wei are sitting upright, how can they be caught by the emperor's people?" In the final analysis, it was the internal problems of Jinyiwei that were no longer under the control of the emperor, which caused the trouble. ”
"Yes. They deserve it, but they can be caught because Qingqing is like a god. ”
Chu Junlan pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this.
Xiao Xu said: "I just entered the palace, I heard that the emperor general Cao Qin was looking for him, and he was furious and reprimanded. You have to be more careful. ”
Chu Junlan said: "Don't worry, since the time I escaped under the nose of Jinyiwei, and went to Huaijing to expose the big matter of the greedy ink army, Cao Qin has already suffered a big loss from me, and he already hated me at that time, and it was not bad this time." ”
Xiao Xu nodded: "Cao Qin's means lead to heaven, but after all, it is not heaven, as long as you do not anger the emperor and do not harm the Dayong Dynasty, I think everything will be fine." ”
"That's nature, don't worry." Chu Junlan smiled slyly, "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, and the emperor is Zhongxing Mingjun, I don't think about it so much, it will go against the emperor's wishes." By the way, are you free tomorrow? ”
"When you open your mouth, there is."
Chu Junlan was amused by him: "It's really flamboyant." ”
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes and looked at her red lips, and a sentence like "You try to see if it's a flamboyant tongue" didn't come out in the end.
Chu Junlan looked up at Xiao Xu's face that was red by the sunset, and said with a hearty smile: "Ming'er, you will accompany me to collect debts." ”
"Debt collection?" Xiao Xu didn't know why.
"Yes," Chu Junlan sneered, "Xiao Yunchang failed to poison my father, and he has been looking for fault since then, and he smashed my shop this time, shouldn't I ask him for compensation?" ”
Xiao Xu immediately understood Chu Junlan's intentions, and said, "It's time for compensation, okay, I'll accompany you to collect debts tomorrow." ”
Chu Junlan nodded with a smile and said, "I'll call the Nine Emperor Princes again, one more person, and it will be more lively." ”
Xiao Xu remembered the greasy appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes sticking to it as soon as he saw Chu Junlan, like a puppy wagging his tail, and couldn't help but shake his head funny, "Okay." ”
The next day, Chu Junlan still went to the winery, and in the afternoon, Xiao Xu came.
The two waited for a while, and the Nine Emperor Princes also came.
However, the Nine Emperor Princes also brought a person that Xiao Xu did not like.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Chu Junlan smiled and saluted.
King Qin waved his hand in a chic manner, with a warm smile on his handsome face: "No courtesy, I heard the ninth brother mention that there is a lively scene to see today, and this king has nothing to do, so he will follow to join in the fun." ”
"I can't ask for it." Chu Junlan smiled slyly, with King Qin here, the chips on their side are a little heavier, and they are not afraid that Xiao Yunchang will dare to deny it!
"Do you want to post?" Xiao Xu asked.
Chu Junlan snorted: "No, I'm not a decent man like you, who do you want to do, give him a time to prepare, he has always been playing yin when he comes to me to make trouble, why should I give him time to prepare?" Let's go straight to the past now. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes chimed in: "Yes, go now, lest he know that we are going and find a helper." "It's like going into a fight.
Xiao Xu and King Qin shook their heads at the same time, and a few people left the wine shop and went directly to the post house where Xiao Yunchang and his party were arranged to live when the vassal king entered Beijing in Honglu Temple.
Xiao Yunchang rarely didn't go out and walk around today, staying in the room with the strategist Qu Ziyang, discussing countermeasures.
"The second son's actions are almost impulsive." Qu Ziyang shook his head and sighed, "If you can be more cautious, things won't be like this." In the next few days, the second son will still go out less. ”
"That's what Mr. Qu said. I'm too impulsive! Xiao Yunchang sighed, "I'm just afraid of angering the emperor now, it's so easy for us to come to Beijing, if the emperor takes back his order and doesn't plan to continue to build a palace in Huaijing, how can it be good?" At that time, the father will be furious and give others a chance in vain. ”
Qu Ziyang naturally knew who Xiao Yunchang meant by "others".
The prince of Huai'an grew up in the capital since he was a child, and it was said that the emperor was distressed about his son and nephew, but in fact, every vassal king had to leave a son to be a proton in the capital.
Because the prince of Huai'an has not returned to the capital for many years, the second son Xiao Yunchang has become the only concubine in the fiefdom, he is smart and ambitious, ruthless and decisive, and has the style of achieving great things, and has operated a large area of his own power in the fief of the king of Huai'an, which is quite valued by the prince and the princess.
It was Xiao Yunchang who developed such a temperament now, but he didn't expect to come to the capital, but such a temperament caused him trouble.
Qu Ziyang now regrets it very much, if only he could have been persuaded well. It's not going to get to this point.
While the two were talking, someone from outside the post station came to pass the word.
"Back to the words of the second prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Nineth, Prince Gongding, and Miss Lan of the Duke of Maoguo ask to see him."
Qu Ziyang and Xiao Yunchang's faces changed at the same time.
These people are clearly not good!
Xiao Yunchang's eyes widened with anger, and his voice couldn't help but rise a little higher.
"What do you mean! Could it be that Chu Junlan's little slut still dares to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt? ”
Qu Ziyang hurriedly covered Xiao Yunchang's mouth: "Son, you have to be cautious, this is not in Huaijing!" ”
Xiao Yunchang reacted at this time, nodded unhappily, but was still angry, and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Could it be that they are still coming endlessly?" ”
"Childe, you must be cautious when speaking, His Royal Highness King Qin is the emperor's most beloved son, and he is also the only prince among all the princes to be crowned a prince, even if he does not have the throne, his ability at the moment should not be underestimated. His Royal Highness's mother Ying Guifei is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the nine emperors are also quite loved by the emperor, not to mention the king of Gongding, he has just won a battle in the north, and the status of the prince of Gongding is also rising with the tide. ”
Xiao Yunchang knew that Qu Ziyang was right, so he had to purse his lips and nodded: "Okay, listen to Mr." Then he said in a loud voice: "Please come in." ”
