Chapter 341: The Masked Gentleman Who Leaves the Business
Listening to Shangguan Wanqing, Ye Mushen felt more and more uneasy about being calculated by Ling Shang.
The land of Kanto, except for the harsh climate, is similar to the other borders of the Night Clan.
That place borders Mongolia in the north and Dongying in the east, and is also harassed by the Jurchens from time to time.
However, the attitude of the imperial court towards that fruitful land has never been very importantβit's not that it doesn't want to pay attention to it, but it has the heart but the powerlessness.
Roughly speaking, the Kanto region is divided into two borders: the north and the south.
The southern border was governed by the Han Chinese and heavily guarded; Its leader, the Du Commander Envoy Division (referred to as the Dadu Division), is Shangguan Yi's nephew Fu Jiu.
The northern frontier was administered by Yi chieftains, whose appointments, of course, were subject to the approval of the imperial court.
This is also the end of mutual compromise between the imperial court and the border after years of game.
This time I went to Kanto, naturally I went to seek refuge with the Fu Jiu Dadu.
Although Shangguan Wanqing does not have the arrogant temperament that the daughters of large families often have, she was pampered and raised after all.
As far as Shangguan Yi himself is concerned, it is humiliating to let his own pearl in the palm of his hand marry Ye Mushen; promised to let the two go to Guanwai as soon as they got married - they didn't even hug their grandson - it was like cutting meat in their hearts.
Shangguan Yi's licking of calves did not impress Ling Shang in the slightest, but made him feel deep disgust and disdain.
Ye Mushen knew the taboo, but he still couldn't help but ask, "I'm curious, what method did Master Hou use to force his father-in-law to agree to these excessive requests?" β
Shangguan Wanqing only shook her head blankly, "The two of them are playing dumb riddles in front of me, and they are talking about things that I don't understand...... What Hou Ye said seems to have something to do with the Royal Forest Army...... In short, Hou Ye only said a few words, and his father agreed to him...... As if I was afraid that he would reveal some great secret......"
Ye Mushen frowned slightly, and whispered, "The Imperial Forest Army, ......"
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Ha, you don't know about your father-in-law, how can I know?" Ye Mushen prevaricated at will.
The light that had just lit up in Shangguan Wanqing's eyes fainted again, "Master Hou, he...... What a horrible person. β
"Ha, it's good that I've finally met a normal person who isn't confused by his beauty."
Shangguan Wanqing blurted out, "Who is better looking than him and your sweetheart?" β
ββ¦β¦ As I said, I don't have a sweetheart. β
"Well, when I didn't ask." Shangguan Wanqing wiped some rouge on her face again, and said casually, "Master Hou's appearance is indeed ...... Even I sighed to myself. But there is always a strange temperament in him, as if ...... It seems to ......"
Ye Mushen sneered and took over, "It seems that he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and it seems that he is possessed by some evil ghost." β
Shangguan Wanqing looked at him in surprise, "Although your statement is unusual...... But it also hit the nail on the head. β
"Huh...... A guy who looks delicate and clear, but he is full of sin...... This kind of masked gentleman is certainly much more terrible than the well-known wicked people. β
"What about you? What handle did you have that fell into the hands of Hou Ye, hating him so much that he gritted his teeth like this? β
The teacup that Ye Mu Ginseng had just picked up suddenly fell to the ground and shattered with a bang.
Shangguan Wanqing put down the rouge box, half of her face was dyed with an unsmeared red, and turned to look at him, "Oh? It seems that the weight of that handle is not much lighter than that of my father. β
Ye Mushen shook his head weakly and laughed at himself, "I asked myself if I lived until now, except for that time...... Everything else has a clear conscience. But my father calculates me, and my brother calculates me......"
