After a moment's wait, the steward led four seductively dressed servants into the hall.

"Yes, very punctual." Shen Yue said with a smile, waved his hand, "Then start playing." ”

"Yes." The four servants responded in unison.

The four of them walked to the middle of the hall, one played the lute, one played the xiao, and the other two danced. Regardless of body appearance or skill level, it is first-class.

"When my brother first arrived, he was able to find such a good person, which is rare." Han Xiao said with a smile.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but glance at Han Xiao, it was really hard to find a servant of this level. But what kind of place is Qingyang City, the business is so developed, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought.

"The dignified prince of Yanwangfu said such a thing, which is very suspicious." Shen Yue smiled and said, "However, if you are flattering, everyone likes to listen to it, and I love to listen to it." ”

Han Xiao smiled and said, "I know that my brother doesn't like me, so I'm trying harder and harder to please you." ”

The back and forth conversations were all between laughter, but Shen Xiu was shocked to hear it.

Shen Yue really didn't like Han Xiao, but Shen Yue didn't like it, and Shen Yue covered it up very well.

Han Xiao should be able to detect it, but knowing it and saying it are two different things. Pretending to be confused, everyone saves face, and also for the sake of seeing each other.

"Boom~~"

Suddenly there was a thunderclap, and lightning swept through the dark night light, and under the instantaneous light, the rough sea suddenly looked extremely hideous.

The sea breeze blew into the hall through the windows, carrying with it the cold moisture. In late spring and early summer, Shen Xiu couldn't help but shudder.

"It's thundering." Shen Yue looked out the window, then looked at Shen Xiu, and said with a smile: "It's so big, are you still afraid of thunder?" ”

Shen Xiuqiang smiled and said, "Sudden thunder, I am indeed a little afraid." ”

"Then close the window." Shen Yue said, and instructed the steward around him, "Bring a cloak to Ah Xiu." ”

"Yes." The steward should take care of it.

The little servant in the house hurriedly closed the window, and the steward turned around and brought a thick cloak.

Shen Xiu took it, it was Shen Yue's.

At this time, he didn't care about it, changed the cloak on his body, and said, "Brother Xie." ”

"Well, we are brothers and sisters, and I should love you." Shen Yue said.

Shen Xiu felt more and more that the voice was wrong, and she wanted to round the scene, but she didn't know what to say. Or rather, I don't know where to start.

Shen Yue has been sick, so there should be no contradiction with Han Xiao.

"As far as I know, people who often go to sea are very experienced in predicting the weather." Han Xiao said with a smile, "HSBC has a lot of talents, and there must be a lot of talents in this area." ”

If it's just a general light rain, the people below won't report it. But in the current weather, a typhoon is coming, and it is impossible for the people below not to warn.

Pick a cruise on such a day, but I'm afraid that the drunkard is not here.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Do you need it, I can borrow you two." ”

"Not right now." Han Xiao said with a smile, "I heard the Kaiyang battle report, saying that there were Japanese robbers ashore. I don't know if there were any casualties at HSBC. ”

"Yes, I've been sick for a long time, and there is news of Kaiyang......" Shen Yue said, glancing at Shen Jing, "I was also detained." ”

Shen Jing didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, and said, "The news of the prince is lagging behind, and the widows have already been beaten away. It is not news that the Japanese invaders have come ashore, and there will always be trouble several times a year. If the court doesn't do anything, we businessmen can only resist on our own. With such a high tax every year, I really don't know where to pay it. ”

The civil strife in Fuso caused a large number of Fuso ronin to become pirates. In addition to robbery at sea, robbery ashore is also carried out.

Kaiyang is a coastal frontier land, so it has naturally become the first choice of the Japanese Kou. The imperial navy, or the navy of the Yan Wangfu, has long existed in name only, and it can't be counted on at all.

In desperation, it can only be fought by sailors organized by maritime merchants. If it weren't for the HSBC shipping company to set up its base camp in Kaiyang, so that the Japanese would have some scruples, Kaiyang would have been robbed of an empty city.

"I was derelict in my duties." Han Xiao apologized, "But don't worry, at most two years, I will definitely make the Japanese invaders dare not commit it again." ”

"Ha~" Shen Yue smiled lightly, full of mockery, "I can say anything." ”

Shen Jing said: "Don't blame the prince, no one in the Yanwang Mansion can take charge of the army, and he has long lost control of the coast. ”

Han Xiao is a son of this world, and the bench is not yet hot. It is indeed difficult to hold him accountable for this matter.

As for two years, this is more empty talk. The creation of the Navy is not so simple, the ship generals, not just a word.

Having said this, Shen Xiu felt more and more restless, so he said to the steward next to him: "Let's serve tea first." ”

said that it was a cruise ship, and the servant had already started to play and sing, but there was not even a cup of tea on the table.

The steward didn't dare to agree, and looked at Shen Yue.

"Then let's go up." Shen Yue said.

The steward said, "Yes." ”

Soon, several small men of similar size and exactly the same clothes came up, holding all kinds of fruits and refreshments.

The delicate dishes, the snacks and fruits that look very delicious, and the non-stop playing and singing people make the hall finally look like a banquet.

"Speaking of tea." Shen Yue's tone paused for a moment, and he suddenly looked at Wu Nian, "Almost ten years ago, there was a small border country that paid tribute to a kind of bean. After grinding the beans into powder, the tea brewed out is very different. ”

Since entering the door, Wu Nian has a feeling of being an outsider, and at this time he answered: "I remember, Uncle likes it very much." ”

The tribute paid by the small country was shared by the emperor. The East Palace is naturally a large portion, and Han Rang sent one to Shen Yue.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yue liked it very much, so Han Rang gave him all the rest. He took back all that the others had gained, and even what was left of the emperor was taken away.

But there are limited things, and they will always be drunk. After drinking, Shen Yue searched for a long time, but he couldn't find it.

"I still miss it very much." Shen Yue said, "If the capital is there again, remember to give me one." ”

Wu Nian smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the prince has always remembered it." Not long ago, I asked the embassy that went abroad, and if there was one, it would definitely be sent. ”

Shen Yue's preferences, Han Rang always remembered. What's more, if you like it so much, you will remember it even more.

"That's good." Shen Yue said.

Han Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect my brother to have a special preference ......."

Before he finished speaking, the servant who was originally playing the pipa suddenly pulled out a short sword from the pipa and stabbed straight at Han Xiao.

The other three, although they did not hold the murder weapon, also assisted from the side and rushed straight over.

Between the lightning and flint, Wu Nian reacted first, and instantly drew his sword, but he was protecting Shen Yue.

"It's finally here." Han Xiao chuckled, but it seemed to be on guard.

The body did not move, and he received the move with one hand, but he was very attentive.

After retreating from the enemy, he did not knock over the tea fruit on the table.

"The prince ......," Shen Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Yue stretched out his hand to pat her, as if to appease her, and said, "This is much better than playing and singing as a servant, it can be regarded as a pleasure on a cruise." ”

As soon as the four servants came in, Han Xiao sensed the killing intent on them, and only then did he say that they were difficult to find.

Those who have looks, skills, and the ability to kill people are indeed more difficult to find.

"Brother......" Shen Xiu looked at Shen Yue in shock.

Although the conversation between the two was wrong from the beginning, what did it mean to be so direct and open.

"You're pretty good." Shen Yue said with a smile, looking at Han Xiao, who was still at ease, "Then ...... a little more."

Shen Jing slowly stood up and drew his knife.

Han Xiao, who was originally dealing with it quite easily, suddenly became solemn.

The four killers are nothing, but Shen Jing ......

There is also Wu Nian, who may be able to do it, this game, it is not easy for him to get out.

"Brother!!" Shen Xiu's voice immediately became sharp, and he got up and rushed straight into the battle.

Shen Jing frowned slightly, glanced at Shen Yue, as if waiting for his instructions.

If Shen Yue is determined to finish Han Xiao here, he will do it immediately.

"Ah Xiu, back off." Han Xiao said in a deep voice.

Shen Yue is a person like him, what to do, nothing to do, who can stop him.

"I'm not going back." Shen Xiu said angrily, but stared at Shen Yue, "Brother, why are you?" ”

Why, exactly?

No matter which angle you think about it, Shen Yue has no reason to kill Han Xiao.

"Why......" Shen Yue seemed to be considering the words, "This, I can only ask the son." ”

Shen Xiu glanced at Han Xiao in the face of the enemy in puzzlement, originally he just retreated from the enemy easily, but the moment Shen Jing got up, he was killed.

Of the four onlookers, two have died. The other two, though still alive, were wounded. If there are a few more tricks, I believe that my life will be lost.

Quickly deal with the people in front of him, and he will have more strength to deal with Shen Jing and Wu Nian.

"I really don't understand what my brother means." Han Xiao said, and Yu Guang glanced at Wu Nian.

Wu Nian has always been on guard, but his expression seems a little dazed, and he doesn't seem to understand the changes in front of him.

"Wu Nian, if I insist on killing the prince of Yan Wang, will you help me?" Shen Yue asked.

Wu Nian said: "The uncle does things, he has his own reasons for doing things, and he has no right to ask when he is a slave." It is my duty to serve my master, and I will do what my uncle wants me to do. ”

It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as Shen Yue gives an order, he will do it.

"My brother is really a good blessing, it's really rare to be so loyal to his subordinates." Han Xiao said with a smile.

has become the head of the East Palace guard, but he is still so loyal to Shen Yue, which is indeed rare.

This can also be regarded as Shen Yue's charm, and those who are subdued by him will definitely not change their minds.

Shen Yue said to Shen Xiu: "Your husband has been checking the evidence of my rebellion, and he even suspects that the two assassinations in Yanwangfu are related to me. Even the burned Shede Temple will be counted on my head. I've been suspected of this, and if I don't do something, I'll be aggrieved. ”

Shen Xiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was dumbfounded when he even heard Wu Nian.

Shen Yue wants to rebel? There is no reason at all, Prince Han Rang regards him as a close friend. Except for the throne, there is nothing that Han Rang can't give.

Kill such a future emperor, unless Shen Yue wants to be the emperor himself, otherwise he will not be as good as Han Rang to treat him.

"Brother, I misunderstood." Han Xiao said.
