Chapter 16 Loose pectoral muscles
"Aren't you the guy who threw darts just now?" Xue Leng hurriedly took a few steps back and began to draw his sword.
The boy was not to be outdone: "I saw you sneaky just now, is it a thief!?" said as he pulled out a few dark darts from his waist
Without waiting for the young man to answer, Xue Leng pulled out the remnant sword, and the remnant sword let out a soft roar in his hand and rushed towards the young man.
"Stop!" Tian Yuanyuan rushed to Xue Leng: "He is the emperor! Brother Xue, don't be rude to the emperor." β
Xue Leng was stunned for a moment, and the young man seized this golden opportunity, more than a dozen darts flew towards Xue Leng at the same time in an arc, Xue Leng's sword flicked, and all the darts were blocked by a burst of energy, and Tian Yuanyuan was caught by Tang Xueyan in mid-air.
The young man looked at Xue Leng dumbfounded, and two long snots flowed from under his nose.
Xue Leng put away his sword and said: "It turns out that the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom is a little hairy child... Gee. β
The young man clenched his fists and roared: "Lao Tzu's name is Hu Yanjue, not a little hairy child. β
Tian Bocheng hurriedly came over to reconcile, it turned out that the young man was the new emperor, his father was assassinated, his mother couldn't stand the reality and had a nervous breakdown, and now a huge country relies on Hu Yanjue and a few old ministers, but the Yutang Empire doesn't know where to get the news, and it is constantly violating the borders of the Xiliang Kingdom, and the border people.
Several important old ministers also followed the emperor successively, and now the Xiliang Kingdom relies on Huyan Jue and his crazy queen mother to insist, and the nobles have also begun to have a momentum of rebellion.
Xue Leng's heart softened when he heard this, and his eyes changed when he looked at Hu Yanjue, he walked straight to the roast duck, picked up the stick of the roast duck, and said, "The delicacy of my hometown, do you want to eat it." β
When Hu Yanjue smelled the aroma of roast duck, he couldn't wait, and when he heard Xue Leng say this, he unceremoniously picked off the smallest duck leg and began to gnaw it, Xue Leng couldn't help but be moved: "It's so small, can you eat enough?" said and looked at Hu Yanjue's chest, and sighed repeatedly.
"Boy, it seems that you don't usually exercise well, you see that your chest muscles are so loose. Saying that, Xue Leng pinched two more handfuls, "Look at me, that's the pure masters." Xue Leng patted his chest and said.
Hu Yanjue suddenly felt numb, blushed and scolded: "What does it matter to you whether this young master's chest muscles are beaten or not!" and Tian Yuanyuan covered her mouth, and her face turned red.
Hu Yanjue wiped the oil on his mouth, and Tang Xueyan on the side also walked to Xue Leng's side and picked up a duck wing, took a bite, and suddenly his face was filled with a kind of food happiness.
Xue Leng brought a few plates, waved them a few times with the remnant sword, and four plates of roast duck appeared in front of everyone, and Tian Bocheng hurriedly entered the house and took two jars of wine.
"Brother Xue, why do you know everything?" Tian Yuanyuan took a small bite of the duck, and when she spoke, she didn't forget to chew the duck meat in her mouth.
Xue Leng lifted the cup, and Tian Lao clinked the cup and said, "Because I don't have parents, I came by myself..."
"Don't forget me!" Hu Yanjue also picked up the cup, wanting to clink the cup, Xue Leng was very cooperative, and his cup tilted towards him, Ping!
Xue sneered: "Your Majesty, I salute your cup, you must drink it all!" Between raising his hand, Xue Leng had already drunk a glass of wine, and a faint dizziness surged up, and Hu Yanjue just took a small sip before lying on the table and not ringing... This amount of wine made Tang Xueyan also ashamed.
From Hu Yanjue's mouth, Xue Leng learned that his senior brothers had not yet arrived, but Xue Leng estimated that they would collapse before they arrived in this country, so he had a very crazy idea in his mind.
Hu Yanjue said that now the national army is unable to make ends meet, and bandits are everywhere, the nobles have raised the banner of independence, and the loss of important personnel in the imperial court can be said to be a mess.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?!" A sissy voice sounded behind Xue Leng's ears, making Xue Leng almost choke.
It turned out to be a eunuch, and it seemed that he was still a general manager, Hu Yanjue quietly squeezed over and said, "This Gonggong Chen is a moth... However, there is a lot of power behind it, and it can't be moved. β
Xue Leng couldn't help but nod his head at Hu Yanjue's opinion, for an eighteen-year-old boy, it was already amazing.
"Please go back as soon as possible!" The eunuch saw Xue Leng, his face showed a complicated expression, and he turned around and left.
"Your name is Xue Leng, seeing that your martial arts are so high, please assist me! I will be the prime minister for you!" Hu Yanjue pulled Xue Leng and said.
Xue sneered: "Maybe I would have promised you before joining the Immortal Heaven Sect, but it's unlikely now... It's okay to help you, I like your spirit. Said that he liked it, this kid's face turned red inexplicably.
"What!You're from the Xiantian Sect!!" Everyone except Tang Xueyan exclaimed.
"What, don't you know?" Xue Leng was a little foggy.
Tang Xueyan took a small bite and said, "You stupid people didn't tell them!
Hu Yanjue looked at Xue Leng, then at Tang Xueyan and said, "No wonder, I just said that Brother Xue is not like a person, Sister Tang, beautiful is not like a person." β
And at this moment, at the back of Tianfu, Gonggong Chen glanced at everyone with a tasteful look and quietly walked away... Xue Leng was terrified at this glance.
After dinner, Xue Leng and Hu Yanjue climbed onto the roof, and the two moons that happened to rise at this time, the faint moonlight shone on the entire imperial capital.
"I'll just say that, and now the country is facing a problem. Xue Leng said.
Hu Yanjue hurriedly said: "What is the problem, please ask the eldest brother to point it out." β
"The funds, I guess they have been taken away by nobles and thieves from all over the world. Xue Leng took out a tael of silver, "Do you know what you can buy with this?"
Hu Yanjue shook his head, and Xue Leng smiled: "Like today's roast duck, you can buy a hundred!" Of course, a hundred is an exaggeration, but it is very urging for a naΓ―ve emperor.
Hu Yanjue's heart was cold, what does such a cheap general price represent, he knows! If this continues, the money in the hands of the common people will earn less and less, because the income of the common people will also decrease.
However, Hu Yanjue can't help it, now the armed forces of the local nobles are already stronger than the royal armed forces, and with the death of the previous king, some of the loyal henchmen of the former king were also assassinated.
Hu Yanjue said: "Now the leader is the three forces, the Murong family, the Situ family, and the Dongfang family. β
"The nobles are all compound surnames..."Xue sneered.
"Well, I've analyzed it all, if the power of these three families is hollowed out, then the treasury will be half full!"
"What about the other half?"
"The border rebels, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will defect to the Yutang Empire, in this case, we will be in danger... And those bandits are petty fights, as long as these elements are extinguished, then they are not afraid that the treasury will not be full, and they can proceed to the next plan. β
The moonlight shone on Hu Yanjue's face, and Xue Leng even had some illusions, is the young man in front of him really a man? How can his demeanor reveal a kind of beautiful temperament? But he didn't think much about it, he admired Hu Yanjue's spirit quite a lot.
Xue Yan's side.
"Sister Xue, you are so stupid! this should be like this" Tian Yuanyuan brushed the embroidery needle, and quickly repaired a flower on the case.
Tang Xueyan stabbed her hand again, she quietly put her fingers in her mouth and sucked it, and then continued to embroider.
"Xue Yan is embroidered for Brother Xue?" Tian Yuanyuan put down the embroidery and looked at Tang Xueyan and said softly.
Tang Xueyan blushed and said, "Who embroidered it for that big pervert..."
Tian Yuanyuan smiled softly: "I'm also a woman~ I know that Sister Xue likes Brother Xue so deeply, although you are all mean, but you care about Brother Xue from the bottom of your heart... I'm not even half of yours, oh no, a tenth..."
Tang Xueyan sighed slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to embroider silently.
The next morning, Tian Yuanyuan came to Xue Leng's room: "Brother Xue, I heard from Xiaojue, you want to go out, right?" β
Xue Leng sorted out his bags and said, "Well, before I come back, you help me take care of Xue Yan!"
"This is for you!" Tian Yuanyuan gave Xue Leng a handkerchief.
Xue Leng took a look and found that there was a very ugly lotus flower embroidered on it, and a crooked word "snow" was embroidered under the lotus, he smiled slightly, and carefully put the handkerchief in his breast pocket.
"Aren't you going to see Xue Leng?" Tian Bocheng said when he saw Tang Xueyan hiding behind the house.
Tang Xueyan hugged her knees: "It's okay, he will go back when he goes...", but the dull eyes betrayed her, Tian Bocheng sighed: "Young people now~ I really can't guess..."
Xue Leng rode the horse with a cross star on his head, looked at Tianfu for a long time, and then left... He was followed by the colorful glow fluttering in the sky.
