Chapter 166: Luring the Wolf into the House (I)
When Dongfang Chu arrived in Fanjing, he heard that the allied forces of Qi Wei and Chen Shu had recruited 80,000 soldiers in Zichuan, Shu State. At this time, the armies of the four countries each had 20,000 each, and they were still recruiting. He knew that the army of King Sheng of Chu was also 80,000 soldiers, while the Song State was said to have 300,000 infantry alone. He looked in the direction of Shu with some concern, thinking to himself, if Brother Rong and the others did not recruit at least 100,000 troops before the beginning of winter, and only used the current 80,000 troops to fight the Song State, I am afraid that before the cavalry of the Song State came out, the 300,000 infantry would have trampled 80,000 Fu ** to death.
According to Sister Yan's instructions, he first came to the Linjiang Restaurant branch in Fanjing, but saw a well-dressed uncle in his fifties talking to a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties. The young woman's slender hands tried to break free from the uncle's clutches several times, but they were pulled back by the uncle. He guessed that the woman who was so beautiful in the restaurant was probably Aunt Yan who raised Sister Yan.
Dongfang Strode forward with great disdain, pulled away the uncle who was obsessed with the young woman with brute force, and saluted Yan Xiao and asked, "May I ask my aunt's surname is Yan?" ”
When Yan Xiao nodded, the uncle dragged Dongfang away and said angrily: "Where did you come from? Dare to disturb me and Yan Niangzi to say goodbye! ”
It turned out that the devil's claw uncle in Dongfang's eyes was Zhao Qi, who had been waiting for Yan Xiao for ten years.
The three guards of King Sheng's Mansion saw that Zhao Qi dared to drag Dongfang to the outside, so the three of them pulled Zhao Qi aside together. Zhao Qi looked at the twelve or thirteen-year-old hairy boy helplessly and asked, "Stinky boy dares to be rough with me?" Don't you know my Zhao Qiye's name in Chen Guo? ”
Dongfang heard him say that he was "Zhao Qiye", so he waved his hand to the three guards of the Shengwang Mansion and said, "Let go of Zhao Qiye, they are all your own people." ”
Zhao Qi said angrily: "Who is your own person with you?" Stinky boy, you are dressed in Chu country, why are you not as gentle and elegant as the Chu people? Is it true that the Seven Kings of your Chu State have been fighting for too long, and they have beaten the people so that they can't move, but can only do it? ”
Dongfang ignored Zhao Qi and saluted Yan Xiao: "Aunt Yan, the little nephew's surname is Dongfang, and the single name is a single name, so I brought Sister Yan's family letter to you." So he took out a thick letter from Shu'er and handed it to Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao did not open the family letter, but when he saw the handwriting on the envelope, he knew that it was written by Shu'er himself. She asked curiously, "I don't know how Dongfang Xiaogongzi met us Shu'er?" ”
Dongfang said with his hands on his hips: "Well, it's a long story." However, when Sister Yan got married in Shu, I, as her younger brother, attended her wedding banquet. ”
Yan Xiao and Zhao Qi glanced at each other, then opened the thick stack of letters in their hands, starting with the word "Aunt Yan", and wrote more than 20 pages with a full smile, using precious mahogany tissue paper produced in Shudi. Yan Xiao wanted to take it to a quiet place to read it carefully, so he folded the more than 20 pages of mahogany tissue paper and put it back in the parchment envelope, but found that there was still a tissue paper envelope in the parchment envelope. She took out the tissue paper envelope, which read "Uncle Zhao Qi personally opened".
Zhao Qile took the letter and said, "The white-eyed wolf girl still has a heart!" I know that I have taken care of Uncle Seven over the years! Now that she is going to be a general, she will definitely not be able to control half of her business in Chen Guo, so she wrote a letter to honor me Zhao Qi with all her money! ”
Yan smiled at Zhao Qi and said, "Yan's industry, the surname is Yan or not Zhao, don't be delusional and covet Shu'er to leave me the money for the old age!" ”
Zhao Qi snorted and said with a smile: "Yan Niangzi, you will be mine sooner or later!" Instead of entrusting half of Chen Guo to give you a pension, it is better to entrust the rest of your life to me Zhao Qiyi. Besides, isn't the Yan family's property under Shu'er's name that she Zhao Qi and I have worked hard and conscientiously to accumulate for you? So he opened the letter with joy.
Shu'er's letter to Zhao Qi was concise and to the point, mainly asking him to use all the cash that could be turned around under the Yan industry as the military salary of the Restoration Alliance, and all the inventory of the rice and noodle shops under the name of the Yan Clan as the grain and grass of the Restoration Alliance. Other businesses are operating normally and there are no changes.
The more Zhao Qi looked at it, the more his face sank, and finally sighed, folded the letter, handed it to Yan Xiao, and said, "The white-eyed wolf is the white-eyed wolf!" You let Su Yang and Su Liu do what Shu'er instructs! Zhao Qi, I really have to be self-reliant! Don't say much, Mrs. Yan, wait for me to come back! ”
Zhao Qi hurriedly saluted Yan Xiao, and was about to turn around to leave, only to hear Yan Xiao instruct behind him: "Zhao Laoqi, you haven't been to Guanwai for business for four or five years, you must be careful this time!" When you come back well, I will give you half of all the property that Shu'er left me. ”
Zhao Qi waved his hand with his back to Yan Xiao, and said, "I promise, this is the last trip that Zhao Qi will run outside the customs in his life!" Make a big last profit, and I'll come back and marry you! ”
Dongfang looked at Zhao Qi's back, and suddenly felt that people really couldn't be good-looking. He thought that the uncle who was obsessed with women was a scum in the world, but now he was envious and regretful, and turned his head to Yan Xiao and said: "If I don't have something important to do, I have to go back to Chu State as soon as possible to restore my life, and I will also go to Jinyang Pass with Zhao Qiye to have a look!" ”
Yan smiled and said, "If the little boy needs help in Chen Guo, you can tell me." ”
Dongfang said in a low voice: "Aunt Yan, I was sent by the prince to pick up Aunt Su back to Chu." Brother Lin has returned to the palace, but there are frequent wars in Chu Realm, and Brother Lin has no time to come in person. ”
Yan Xiao looked at Dongfang Zhuo, and at the same time pulled him to the secluded private room in the restaurant, and asked, "I don't know what the relationship between the little prince and the king of Chu Guosheng is?" ”
Dongfang replied frankly: "My father is the first strategist of the Shengwang Mansion, Dongfang Yu. I grew up in the palace of King Sheng, and the prince is like my father-in-law. When it came to taking the princess back to Yuling, the prince handed it over to no one at ease, but the people who reassured him were all lacking in skills, so the prince and Brother Lin decided to let me, an inconspicuous little hairy man, go to Chen Guo, and my father also agreed to let me come out to practice. I was supposed to go to Fanjing two months ago, but I went to Zichuan halfway to drink the wedding wine of Brother Rong and Sister Yan, so I came late. ”
Yan Xiao said cautiously: "How can the little boy confirm that what you said is true?" ”
Dongfang said: "Aunt Yan can go and ask the princess a word for me, just say that when she left Yu Lingsheng's palace eleven years ago, there was a scratch on the black diamond jade pendant that the prince gave to the little lord, but there was a scratch that resembled a dragon's body?" After that, he took out the letter written by King Sheng to Su Qin from his arms, handed it to Yan Xiao, and said, "The little nephew still wants to go to Jinyang Palace to deliver a family letter, so I won't say more to Aunt Yan." Three days later, I'll come back to the restaurant. If the princess is ready, Aunt Yan can lead me to her.
