Chapter 307: Bet
"What if you have more wealth." Uncle Liu still dismissed, "He has been driven to the west by the Holy Lord, and in that place, except for loess, it is loess, and even if there is more silver, he can't spend it." ”
"Uncle Liu, you only see the surface. You see, sometimes silver can do everything. Xu Yichen smiled, "Everyone in the world thinks that the third prince will definitely die if he goes here, but I have never thought about it that way." I don't think the Holy One ever thought of sending him to death. ”
"Then why don't you give him a soldier and a soldier, and don't give him a penny for military salary?" Uncle Liu questioned.
"Our Huaguo has fought with the west for so many years, and the soldiers over there have suffered serious losses, but there are not many troops that can be replenished. It's not that there is no one in my country, it's just that as soon as I hear that I am going to be sent to the west, I will never be able to recruit soldiers again, after all, in the place of nine deaths, don't think about fighting for military merit, it would be good to be able to save your life. Coupled with the emptiness of the treasury, there is simply not much money allocated for military salaries. ”
"These three highnesses are also stupid, it's not good when they will come back, they have to rush at such a time." Uncle Liu chuckled.
"Uncle Liu, do you really think that His Royal Highness is going back to Beijing by himself?" Xu Yichen took another sip of tea, "As far as I know, His Highness is very leisurely and comfortable in that small village, and there is no sign of returning to Beijing at all." He decided to return to Beijing this time completely suddenly. Although I don't know what the reason for this is, I can guess that it must have something to do with the Holy One. Perhaps, it was the Holy Lord who summoned His Highness back to Beijing? The reason why the holy decree was not given with great fanfare may be to hide people's eyes. If some people know that the Holy Lord has summoned His Highness back to Beijing, then he is afraid that he will not have a good time along the way. ”
"Why did the Holy One go to such great lengths?" Uncle Liu was puzzled, "Does he really want to expect the Third Highness to lead the troops to fight?" ”
"That's right, that's what I guess the Holy One meant." Xu Yichen nodded and smiled, "If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have secretly summoned His Royal Highness back to Beijing." ”
"Why is that?" Uncle Liu frowned, "The Third Highness has never had the experience of leading troops, and he has never even been on the battlefield, if the Holy Lord really wants to fight back the wilderness, how can he send him?" Could it be that His Majesty wants to count on the silver in His Highness's hands to win the war? Isn't that a joke? If we can win with silver, then our country will not be in a stalemate with the wilderness for so long, so that it will fall to the point of empty treasury. If Your Majesty is short of silver, he ordered His Royal Highness to donate some, so why should he even be sent? It is a matter of life and death for the people in the west, how can the saint be so confused. Unless ......"
Uncle Liu paused for a moment, his face a little ugly: "Unless the Holy Lord is already planning to give up the west, the reason why he sent the Third Highness down is either to let him take this opportunity to exercise, or to make him bear the charge of defeat." But...... The situation on the west side is complicated, and it is not a suitable place to exercise at all, so ...... The real reason could only be the latter. Even if His Royal Highness survived the battlefield and returned to the capital, there was only punishment waiting for him. What is the difference between being infamous for defeat and being punished by the saints? Master...... Is the Holy One really going to give up the West? ”
"He won't." Xu Yichen shook his head, "He sent His Highness to the west, I'm afraid he just wanted to end this war as soon as possible." This battle has been fought for too long. Uncle Liu, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, even if the Holy Lord doesn't like the Third Highness anymore, he still knows his son's ability. ”
"Young Master, ...... you" Uncle Liu shook his head and sighed.
Although the young master said so much, he still didn't believe it, if he didn't send a good general, he sent a weak prince over, what was it if he didn't want to send him to death?
"Uncle Liu, if you don't believe it, how about we make a bet?" Xu Yichen squinted and smiled, "I bet that His Highness will return victoriously within three years." ”
"Okay." Uncle Liu is in control, "The old slave will bet with you." ”
"Let's get down to business." Xu Yichen was still smiling, "If His Highness returns victoriously, he will definitely be able to become a hot figure, we can take this opportunity to make friends with him, and it can be regarded as finding another way for our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce." His Royal Highness is far away to the west, and we can't get in touch with him at all, and even his subordinates are very wary of our Chamber of Commerce, so they don't give me a chance to get close to His Highness at all. And this Xia Yan has a close relationship with him, so I plan to use her as a breakthrough. If I have a good relationship with her, I can let her introduce him to His Highness for me in the future. ”
"Hey." Uncle Liu shook his head and sighed, "Since you have made a decision, young master, the old slave has nothing to say." ”
Uncle Liu didn't agree with Xu Yichen's statement at all in his heart, even if His Royal Highness could really return safely, it was hard to say whether he could successfully return to favor. Even if he regained the favor of the saint, he might not be able to remember this country girl. He didn't believe that a poor little girl in the village could get the attention of the prince.
According to the temperament of the Third Highness, it is her ancestors who can make her a chess piece and burn high incense. She is just one of many chess pieces, not irreplaceable, and who can tell the appearance of each chess piece when playing chess?
Xu Yichen naturally knew that Uncle Liu was just perfunctory, but he was not angry. Since he took over the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, he has made no mistakes in making decisions, and this time is no exception.
Not only did he not have a clear understanding of Mu Fan, but he was full of expectations. Fortunately, the world has no vision and can't see that the third prince has a broad future, but he let himself pick up a bargain.
But seriously, even if there is no reason for the third prince, he is full of expectations for the girl named Xia Yan. After all, there are not many girls who can buy a street property at the age of seven or eight, and if the family is strong, it would be fine, but that girl is completely self-made.
He didn't agree with Uncle Liu's statement, and he never felt that Xia Yan was just a chess piece.
He knew that although the three princes had left Qin County, there were his secret guards there.
Those secret guards were all hidden around Xia Yan, and the purpose was naturally self-evident.
Either to spy on her, or to protect her.
If you have to choose one of the two, then Xu Yichen will definitely choose the latter. As for the reason for the latter, it is simple, because of intuition.
Since the third prince can't rest assured that the girl named Xia Yan is extremely important, it means that this person is extremely important to him.
Even the three princes fancy the person, he is naturally very interested.
Because Xu Yichen was anxious to see Xia Yan, he didn't delay much on the way, and hurried away, but in a month, he arrived in Qin County.
When Fu Duozhi heard the news that Xu Yichen had walked to the gate of the county seat, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly called someone and ran towards the city gate in a panic.
Before arriving at the gate of the city, I saw a luxurious carriage driving into the city, and a delicate sign hung outside the carriage, on which the words "Ruyi Chamber of Commerce" were written.
Fu Duozhi immediately guessed that it was Xu Yichen's carriage, and hurriedly led people to greet him.
"Second young master, I don't know that you are here, you have missed the distance, and you have forgotten the young master to atone for your sins." Fu Duozhi just walked to the horse and stood still, then bowed his hand.
"Shopkeeper Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to disturb me." Xu Yichen lifted the curtain and looked at Fu Duozhi with a smile, "This is the time for breakfast, Ruyi Zhai must be extremely busy, but the shopkeeper Fu has to take time to pick me up here, I really don't want to go." ”
was obviously comforting himself, but Fu Duozhi heard some complaints from those words. He was sweating profusely, and hurriedly saluted: "Young master, I'm ...... I didn't leave Ruyi Zhai alone, it has been arranged by me, and I will not delay anything if I leave for such a while. ”
"Shopkeeper Fu, you don't have to be nervous, I didn't mean to complain about you." Xu Yichen smiled, "On the contrary, it should be me who is ashamed, and I am choosing to enter the city when you are busy, which is really a little undeserved." ”
Fu Duozhi's back was completely sweaty, and he really didn't know how to answer this question.
If he nodded, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that the second young master didn't choose him to enter the city at a convenient time, but if he was polite to the young master, wouldn't it mean that he was not busy at all?
Fu Duozhi only felt that his mind was swollen, and he really couldn't think of what to do.
Fortunately, Xu Yichen didn't mean to embarrass him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fu, I'm also a little tired after such a long journey, I don't know if there is a suitable place for me to live in this Qin County?" ”
"Young master, I have vacated a yard in my house, you can live with me." Seeing that the topic was finally diverted, Fu Duozhi breathed a sigh of relief and saluted back.
"Shopkeeper Fu, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't live in your house." Xu Yichen shook his head, "If I go, it will make you and your family feel a little restrained." It's a bit painful to not be able to relax in your own home. So, I'd like to find another place to stay and save me from bothering you. ”
Fu Duozhi listened to Xu Yichen's tone of voice not like he was joking, and looked at his expression again, and felt that he was serious, so he stopped begging and arched his hand: "In this case, young master, you should settle down in Ruyi Zhai." It is the property of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, you can live there more comfortably, and it will be more convenient for us to take care of you. ”
Regarding Fu Duozhi's proposal, Xu Yichen only smiled, shook his head again, and said: "It's because it's our territory that I don't want to live there." If I go, the men there will not be in peace, and they will be submissive and cautious. If they can't let go of their hands and feet because of this, won't it delay the business of Ruyizhai. What's more, I finally went out of the house, I just wanted to find a place to relax, and I didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. If I am too close to the shopkeeper, do you dare to make your own decisions when you encounter something? ”
"This ......" Fu Duozhi wiped the cold sweat on his head, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Ugly Girl Makeover: Gao Leng Wangye, Please Respect the Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
