Chapter 100: The Squire is a Dog
87_87881 "Wei Yan, what are you talking about, the Chen family caravan returned to the imperial capital, and none of the Praetorian Guards sent out to carry out the mission have not returned so far?" Just when the high-level officials of the Chen family gathered to discuss the robbery of the caravan, in the imperial capital prince's mansion, the imperial capital prince Xuanyuan Jinkang threw a white jade teacup in his hand to the ground with a gloomy face, stared angrily at the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was kneeling in front of him, and asked through gritted teeth.
When the commander of the Praetorian Guard heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and hurriedly reported: "Prince! After I heard the news of the return of the Chen family caravan, I rushed to the door of the Chen family house as soon as possible, and just happened to see the Chen family caravan enter the Chen family's dean, and the number of people who came back from the Chen family caravan was less than ten. ”
As the royal family of the Shenwu Empire, although their Xuanyuan family is the master of the Shenwu Empire, but because of the power of the family, although the Xuanyuan family is the master of the Shenwu Empire, they cannot fully control the entire empire.
In the past ten years, because of accurate information, coupled with the fact that the Praetorian Guard has never left a living mouth every time they plundered, they pretended to be Black Eagle Village bandits to obtain a large amount of materials for the royal family, which significantly improved the strength of the royal family.
This time, he learned that Chen Ruoxi, the young lady of the Chen family, would follow the Chen family caravan to Tianyun City, and after Xuanyuan Jinkang, who had been peeking at Chen Ruoxi for a long time, learned the news, he did not communicate with his father, and privately sent the Praetorian Guards, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of plundering to snatch Chen Ruoxi into the prince's mansion, but he never imagined that the Praetorian Guard, who had never missed the robbery, would be defeated in the hands of the Chen family's caravan, making his plan that he thought foolproof fall short.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jinkang's first thought was that this time Chen Ruoxi went to Tianyun City, it was likely to be a conspiracy of several families in the imperial capital against the Black Eagle Village bandits, the purpose was to use Chen Ruoxi as a bait to tempt the Black Eagle Village Mountain Bandits to take the bait, otherwise why would the Praetorian Guards, who had never missed, be wiped out?
However, Xuanyuan Jinkang was thinking more about how to explain this matter to his father, the emperor of the empire, Xuanyuan Qingyun, because he knew very well that although he was the crown prince of the empire, several of his imperial brothers had always been eyeing his crown prince, and if he couldn't give his father a satisfactory explanation, maybe he would lose the throne of the crown prince.
Xuanyuan Jinkang looked at Wei Yan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Wei Yan, what do you think of this prince to you on weekdays?"
Wei Yan heard Xuanyuan Jinkang's inquiry, and his heart chuckled, instinctively thinking that Xuanyuan Jinkang wanted to let him carry the black cauldron, thinking of the viciousness of the royal family's actions, Wei Yandi's body couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince!
Seeing Wei Yan's frightened face pale and trembling all over, he knew that Wei Yan had misinterpreted what he meant, and said with a smile: "Wei Yan! Look at what I am afraid of, you are still the commander of the Praetorian Guard! You have been loyal to me all these years, even if I want anyone to carry the black cauldron, I will not let you carry the black cauldron." ”
Wei Yan has followed Xuanyuan Jinkang for so many years, who Xuanyuan Jinkang is Wei Yan knows very well, if he believes in Xuanyuan Jinkang, I am afraid that he will be sold by him, but at this time he still pretended to be grateful, and thanked Xuanyuan Wei Yan: "Thank you for the prince's grace not to kill, what does the prince command, despite the orders, the lower officials will definitely do their best to complete the things that the prince explains." ”
"Father must already know about this matter, I believe it won't be long before someone will be sent to pass you into the palace, if the father asks, you just have to say that it is an order arranged by me, as for what to say and what not to say, I believe you should be very clear, right?" Hearing Wei Yan's assurance, Xuanyuan Jinkang's face showed a satisfied smile, and he asked Wei Yan meaningfully.
Wei Yan was able to become the commander of the Praetorian Guard, in addition to his advanced cultivation, more importantly, his brain was flexible and knew how to pat on the back, when he heard Xuanyuan Jinkang's inquiry, he immediately understood that Xuanyuan Jinkang didn't want others to know that the real purpose of sending people to rob the Chen family caravan this time was to go to Chen Ruoxi in Tianyun City with the Chen family caravan.
In order to save his life and make Xuanyuan Jinkang satisfied, Wei Yan immediately replied: "Your Royal Highness, you learned that the Chen family caravan was preparing to transport a batch of spirit stones to Tianyun City, because when you got the information, the Chen family caravan had already left the city, and the matter was urgent, so you did not report to His Majesty the Emperor, and ordered me to send the Praetorian Guards to rob the Chen family caravan halfway. ”
"Who would have thought that the so-called transportation of spirit stones by the Chen family caravan was simply fake, and its intention was actually to use this information to seduce us into taking the bait, and as a result, the Praetorian Guards pretended to be the people sent by the Black Eagle Village bandits, and all of them were killed by the masters hidden in the Chen family caravan. ”
Hearing Wei Yan's answer, Xuanyuan Jinkang's face showed a satisfied smile, and he said appreciatively: "Wei Yan, you are a capable person, and you are also a person that this prince values very much, this prince believes that you will not let me down." ”
"If there is no cultivation of the prince, there will be no subordinates today, so please rest assured that the prince will definitely handle this matter properly. Wei Yan knew that he and the prince were grasshoppers on the same rope, if this matter was not handled well, the prince might lose his position, but his whole family wanted to fall to the ground, for the sake of his own and his family's lives, he naturally had to try his best to get through this difficulty.
Because Wu Hanqi came to the imperial capital for the first time, after arriving in the imperial capital, Wu Hanqi and Wu Hanping brothers, under the guidance of the black tiger, came to an elegant inn to live, and then ordered a few exquisite side dishes in the restaurant opposite the inn, while enjoying the night view of the imperial capital, while enjoying the food in the restaurant.
"Hanqi!The flow of people in the imperial capital is already large, and now the two colleges have enrolled students in advance, making the people in the imperial capital more numerous, we are afraid that we are looking for a needle in a haystack if we want to find those dozen people in the vast sea of people!" Sitting in front of his seat, looking at the endless flow of people on the road under the windowsill, Wu Hanping was full of worries about the purpose of this trip.
From the moment he entered the imperial capital, Wu Hanqi realized that the chances of finding the Wu Hanlin brothers were probably very slim, but he didn't completely take this matter to heart, because for him, it was good to be able to find the Wu Hanlin brothers, and then cut them down, if he couldn't find them, he didn't have to force them, he believed that even if the Wu Hanlin brothers practiced hard, they would not be able to bring him a threat.
Wu Hanqi picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and said to Wu Hanping with a smile: "Hanping! Although we came out this time to find those guys, we can find the best, if we can't find it, it's nothing, with the qualifications of the Wu Hanlin brothers, even if they work hard, it won't bring any threat to our family, and the two of us brothers will have the mentality of coming out to play, and after the two colleges in the imperial capital are over, we will leave immediately."
"Xiao Gongzi, there are already guests in this box, I'll arrange another box for you!"
"Every time Ben Shao comes to eat here, it's in this box, and now I don't care what method you use, let the people in the box let me out of the box, otherwise you won't want to open this restaurant." ”
Before Wu Hanqi finished speaking, a noisy sound came from outside the box, which made him subconsciously put down the wine glass in his hand and ordered the black tiger sitting on the side: "Black tiger!
When the black tiger heard Wu Hanqi's order, he subconsciously stood up from the table, but just as he was about to go out to have a look, the door of the box was suddenly pushed in, and a gorgeously dressed young man led a large group of people to walk in from the outside, and said to Wu Hanqi and the others in the box very arrogantly: "This box is too little, if you know each other, give me outside."
"Get out!"
Because the imperial capital is the center of imperial power, so when he came here, Wu Hanqi was able to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that they would just eat a meal, and trouble would find them, which made him very angry, and he didn't wait for the arrogant young man in front of him to finish speaking, and subconsciously shouted angrily.
Wu Hanqi's angry shout really frightened the young man, and he thought that it was the son of the prince and minister who was eating in the box, but after a closer look, he saw that the people in the box were all strangers he didn't know, and then he looked at his dress, and at first glance, he was not from the imperial capital, and immediately replied to his previous arrogant appearance, and scolded Wu Hanqi extremely domineeringly: "The soil buns from there! Dare to threaten me, do you know who I am?"
"Boy, our Xiao Shao is the son of Xiao Shilang of the household department, if you are interested, it is best to get us out of this box. A follower on the side, hearing Xiao Gongzi's words, immediately stood up, first introduced Xiao Gongzi's identity in a flattering tone, and then threatened Wu Hanqi and others extremely arrogantly.
Hearing the title of the Household Squire, Wu Hanqi immediately remembered Wei Xuexian, who was scared by him last time in Black Rock City, and couldn't help but let out a sneer, and said unhurriedly: "I didn't expect me to be so close to the Imperial Household Department, you still remember the last time someone spoke to me like this, but I was scared before I even made a move." ”
At that time, he scared Gongzi so much that he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, and ran back to the imperial capital that night. When the green snake heard Wu Hanqi's words, he immediately remembered what happened in the city lord's mansion, and then said this joke.
Wu Hanqi heard the words of the green snake, smiled and glanced at the arrogant and incredible young man, and then said: "Green snake! you are right, it is that kid, when a dog ran from the garden, I asked him that the squire was a dog, but he was lonely and unheard of, but he didn't know the difference, and then I told him that it was actually very simple to distinguish between a wolf and a dog, just look at the tail, Shangshu is a dog, and the lower shaft is a wolf!"
