Yelunan was awakened by the pungent aroma of the mutton pot, and he felt a mouth-watering smell linger on the tip of his nose, slowly waking him up from his drowsiness. It's just that before his eyes opened, the unassuming stomach was already growling. He relied on instinct, sat up slowly, found the tempting aroma to the source, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt so comfortable all over his body.
"Heh, looking at this, I'm really hungry!"
"Hey, I hate my painting level is average, otherwise, I must draw this scene down and laugh at him, where is this noble son, obviously a refugee on the run!"
"Come on, when you're hungry, you're worse than him, like a hungry wolf."
Yelu Nan heard someone giggling in his ear, he frowned involuntarily, sat up straight again, slowly opened his eyes, and when he completely sobered up, he saw the people around him smiling and looking at him, his face suddenly turned red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Yo, I'm awake!" Xue Ruitian leaned over to take a look, and took the hot handkerchief handed over by Merlin, "Since you're awake, wipe your face!" โ
"I ...... I ......," Yelunan took the hot veil, "I'm really embarrassed to let everyone see my ugly appearance." โ
"Eh, brother, what are you talking about, let's have a private gathering, so we don't have to engage in those vain things. Aren't you tired of carrying it all day? Xue Ruitian smiled, "Besides, if this matter is investigated, it will still be our dereliction of duty, isn't it?" โ
"No, no, no!" Yelu Nan packed himself up and waved his hand at Xue Ruitian, "In the end, this matter is still my problem, I was careless, so I ran here alone in a hurry, and I didn't even bring a guard." He picked up the sheep soup in front of him, stood up and looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Bai Meng, and said very seriously, "I thank you for your maintenance and hospitality to me, no matter what happens in Xia and Liao in the future, the friendship between us, I will not forget." โ
"Yelu Gongzi is polite!" Shen Haolin took the lead in drinking two mouthfuls of mutton soup, "Xiaotian is right, there is no need to pay attention to those false manners in private gatherings, everyone please take a seat!" โ
"Yelu Gongzi, you just woke up and haven't eaten for a few days, don't eat too much at once, drink some hot soup first, warm your stomach, and let your stomach get used to it." Jin Miaomiao added some hot soup to Yelu Nan's soup bowl, "If it's okay, you can eat slowly, I'm going to accompany ......" She winked at Bai Meng with a wicked smile, "Lose company, farewell!" โ
"Lord Jin is hard, Lord Jin walks slowly!" Yelu Nan drank two sips of soup, looked left and right, "Shen Guogong, General Shen, why don't you see these fifteen?" He saved me, and I owe him a good thank you. If he hadn't picked me up, there would have been so many assassins, and I would have been really hard to deal with alone, maybe...... It's really going to be a hell of a mess. โ
"This is Jiaping Guancheng, and protecting the safety of distinguished guests is what we should do." Shen Cha smiled, "If we really let the guests be wronged on our territory, wouldn't it be our own face?" โ
"Cha'er is right, that's the truth." Shen Haolin nodded, "As for this matter, we will definitely give an explanation to Yelu Gongzi." โ
"This matter, it's quite simple to say, it's not simple, and there are a lot of doorways inside." Yelu Nan drank two bowls of mutton soup in a row, and felt that his stomach became warmer, so he slowly fished out the mutton in the pot and ate it. "I also thought about it before, if it is really the Duan family, with their character of liking to cause trouble, they will definitely not be satisfied with just tossing around in Jiaping Guancheng, Linhuang Mansion and Yiqing Mansion can't run, and it's not just us who have a headache."
"But Yelu Gongzi, the others have a headache, we can leave it aside for the time being, but if Uncle Ling, the current King of Liao, has a headache, it will have a great impact on our plans." Shen Cha took a piece of boiled radish from the pot and put it on the plate to dry, "Young Master Yelu, you have been out for a long time, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that someone in Linhuang Mansion will make irresponsible remarks." โ
"General Shen and I thought about going together, I thought that I would leave early tomorrow morning, and if it was too late, I wouldn't be able to catch the funeral." Yelu Nan nodded, "It's just that I came to discuss with you this time, how did you think about it?" Can you give me an accurate answer today? โ
"Merlin, give this to Yelu Gongzi." Shen Cha took a roll of paper from under the small table and handed it to Merlin, "There is no problem with cooperation, the specific matters are written on this." Yelu Gongzi can take a look first, and if there are any objections, we can also discuss them. If there are some things, Yelu Gongzi himself is not sure of his mind, you can go back and discuss it with Lan Gongzi. โ
"So thick? Everyone's really hearted. Ye Lu Nan carefully looked at the cooperation rules written by Shen Cha, and sighed softly after reading it, "We are really the best partner to work with, and we really have a tacit understanding, most of the above matters, Ah Lan and I have repeatedly discussed them before, and the final conclusion is basically the same as your one." โ
"But what?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, took a piece of mutton, blew it carefully, and put it in his mouth, "Most things are the same, what are the few?" Be...... Military power? โ
"Hou Ye is wise, that's exactly the case." Yelu Nan nodded, "My thoughts are the same as everyone's, military power must be held in your hands." And Ah Lan ......"
"Lan Gongzi is reluctant to come to the Huang Mansion?" Seeing Ye Lu Nan showing a wry smile, Jin Jing waved her hand disapprovingly, "If you want to reach the top, you must have a trade-off." That place in Linhuang Mansion, even if I haven't been there, I know that the forces of each family are intertwined, even if Lan Gongzi has been in business for many years, I'm afraid he will often feel powerless, right? โ
"Yes, although I have been arranging it for many years, it is not easy to really get a foothold. It is also because of this that he let him give up this family business and start again," Yelu Nan shook his head, "This kind ......of courage is not something ordinary people can have. โ
Shen Cha and Shen Haolin glanced at each other and nodded slightly, Ye Lu Nan was right, they would be very distressed if they faced such a choice. It's just that without a little ruthlessness, how can you win the final victory?
"Having said that, but Yelu Gongzi, you must know that the more powerful the place, the easier it is to breed trouble. What is the situation of Lan Gongzi now, you know, I know, Lan Gongzi also knows very well in his heart. As the prince regent, although there are also people paying attention, most of the attention is focused on who will become the next king of Liao. But now it's different, he's in the spotlight. Every day is like walking on the tip of a knife, if there is a half-minute mistake...... "Jin Jing raised her eyebrows," it will inevitably become the target of everyone, and a little inconspicuous little thing may become a talisman for Lan Gongzi. Yelu Gongzi, do you think you should withdraw from the center of this chaos and open up another world, or continue to stick to it and put your little life in before the big thing is accomplished? โ
"Master Hou, military advisor, I understand the truth of making a lot of money in a muffled voice, and I also understand the truth of holding the military power firmly in my own hands, but Ah Lan ...... has lived in Linhuang Mansion since he was a child, and if he wants to leave that comfortable place and come out for a while, he still needs to be forced. Yelu Nan carefully put away the cooperation matters, "Don't worry, I have already figured out how to convince him, I believe that it will not be long before you can see him on the battlefield." โ
