Hidden Blade Chapter 72: Yan Yanyan
() Child hour.
Late at night.
In the Changle Palace of Jinling City, Chen Xuanji, who was sleeping, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door outside.
After all, it is the palace of the emperor, except for the internal officials trusted by the emperor, it is impossible for anyone to come here at this time. And even the internal officials, if there is no big thing, knocking on the door of the emperor's palace is also a murder that disturbs the holy driver.
Chen Xuanji sat up on the bed and looked at the direction of the sound.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The inner officer's anxious voice also sounded immediately.
Chen Xuanji did not respond to the internal officer's call in the first time. He stood up, carefully and slowly put on his boots and golden dragon robe, and by the way, he arranged the slightly scattered hair with his hands. Tidy, then he said in a deep voice toward the door: "What's the matter?"
Almost the moment he spoke, the palace gate was pushed open by someone outside.
Apparently, the people outside his house are already extremely anxious.
Two figures walked into the house one after the other from outside the house.
Walking in the front is an **** who is fifty years old, with a kind face and an anxious look. This person is called Anu. He was the pro-servant of Queen Meng Yu. Later, Queen Meng Yu hanged himself, and he was demoted to him. Stables. After Chen Xuanji ascended the throne, he heard of this, and he recruited him to sit as an internal officer. But walking behind him was a man who looked less than thirty, dressed in armor and stained with blood, with a sad expression on his face and a dusty face, obviously he had just arrived.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The matter is not good!" Anu yelled anxiously when he entered the room, but his eyes saw Chen Xuanji sitting in front of the desk in the room with neat clothes, Anu said slightly. Frozen, I don't know how to continue speaking for a while.
"Let's go ahead, what's the matter?" Compared to Anu's panic, Chen Xuanji's attitude was calm and almost terrifying, and he asked indifferently.
Perhaps because of being infected by Chen Xuanji as the emperor, Anu's panic expression was slightly calmed down. Then he said: "Chen Yanling, son of Chen Ping, the king of Fengxing, come to report urgently."
After that, he stepped aside, exposing the man behind him to Chen Xuanji's gaze.
The man, Chen Yanling, knelt down at that time and exclaimed with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, please be the master of my father!"
"Didn’t Aiqing and Fengxing King defending against thieves at Changwuguan? How come back to Jinling, Fengxing King is my Chen family's clan, and where do we start to make the decision?"
Chen Xuanji asked with deep eyes.
"The minister was indeed stationed at Changwu Pass with his father. Our father and son knew that this battle was about the survival of Chen Guo. We did not dare to slack off. Since arriving at Changwu Pass, we have been spying on the enemy and surveying the terrain day and night."
"Father found that although Cui Ting came with 300,000 elite soldiers, but after all, the army was on an expedition, and Daxia in the back was not monolithic. The grain and grass Cui Ting brought from Longzhou was far from supporting him in the long battle. , I wanted to defend against the city to bring down Cui Ting’s army."
"This plan was quite effective. Although the half-moon battle with Cui Ting had their own wins and losses, Changwuguan still held our hands tightly."
"But this time the leading troops were on a rush march. In order to speed up the journey to Changwu Pass, our army only carried five-day rations. According to the regulations, a large amount of grain and grass should be delivered ten days ago. However, the Inner History of Zhisu, who was responsible for this matter, delayed the delivery of grain and grass on the grounds of insufficient manpower for the spring seed."
"Our army fought fiercely for several days. The food and grass were inadequate, and the army was distracted. Finally, Cui Ting found a flaw and broke through the Changwu Pass. His father led the army to death and died of exhaustion. Do not ask your Majesty to forgive me for my dereliction of duty, but only ask your Majesty to avenge my father and avenge my 100,000 Fengxing Army!"
In the end, Chen Yanling was also full of tears, and she couldn't cry.
Chen Xuanji's eyebrows became more and more gloomy: "King Fengxing is dead?"
"Dead!" Chen Yanling responded with a sad tone. "Your Majesty, please be the master for my father!"
Chen Xuanji fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became deadly silent because of his silence.
After dozens of breaths, he just said something to break the silence: "General Chen has worked so hard, and King Fengxing died for the country. The general can rest assured about this. I will definitely investigate it carefully, and I will surely return King Fengxing to be innocent! "
After that, he glanced at Anu next to him again and said: "Anu, General Chen is struggling, you quickly send someone to treat General Chen's injury, General Chen rests temporarily, and I will proceed to resolve the matter. ."
That Chen Yanling was obviously unwilling to hear the words, but seeing Chen Xuanji's expression on his face, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only retreat after paying a salute.
......
When Chen Yanling left, Anu, who was over half a hundred years old, turned his eyes to see what Chen Xuanji was about to say.
Boom!
Only hearing a crisp sound, the tea cup placed in front of the counter was crushed to pieces in Chen Xuanji's hands at that time, and at this time, he did not collect the slightest amount of true essence protection, so the palm of his hand was The sharp weapon pierced and dripped with blood.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body! The Changwu Pass was broken, and the people are still counting on your Majesty to recover the mountains and rivers for Chen Guo!" Anu knelt down, took out a brocade cloth from his arms, and stretched out his hand. Wiping the blood stains in his hands for Chen Xuanji.
"Chen Guoheshan? Huh! I'm afraid some people have forgotten what Chen Guoheshan's surname is." Chen Xuanji said coldly, and Anu, who was wiping Chen Xuanji's palm, clearly felt Chen Xuanji at this time. And the body is trembling constantly.
"Send someone to preach the imperial decree and let Munch lead his troops to retake Changwu Pass." Chen Xuanji's voice sounded again.
Anu was taken aback when he heard the words, and he hesitated: "But isn't King Qin lying sick in bed...he..."
The candlelight in the palace gate was swaying in the night breeze, and Chen Xuanji’s handsome and swaying candlelights flickered off and on. He stood up and said in a deep tone: "Don't worry. My uncle’s root cause... is dead."
Anu's body shook, and he seemed to realize it at that time.
"By the way, call the Yuqian Beiche, I want to go out of the palace."
"Where is your majesty going?"
"Yan Mansion."
......
Yan family.
It is a big family that has risen in the past ten years by Chen Guo.
Unlike ordinary clansmen, there are few officials in the Yan family, and the Yan family can be said to be a pure merchant family. But his business has done a great deal, covering almost every corner of Chen Guo, even in the most remote towns, you can still see Yan's business.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the business is such a rich country, and the Yan family is also quite interesting. Every time the court needs it, the Yan family is very cooperative. These years, the money and food offered to the court free of charge. It is already an extremely shocking number.
At this moment, in the door of Yan's house, Chen Xuanji in brocade robe sits high above the first seat. Several imperial guards stand on both sides, while several figures stand respectfully in the room facing Chen Xuanji with panic. Bow down.
"Caomin Yan Yuming pays respects to your Majesty."
"The civil servant Yan Yanyan pays her respects to your majesty."
......
Yan Yuming is about 40 years old, with a national face, a hooked nose, and a mustache. At a glance, he seems to give people a sense of shrewdness peculiar to a businessman, and he is also the incumbent of the Yan family of this wealthy and enemy country. Homeowner.
In the 28th year of Yan Yanyan, the daughter of Yan Yuming, she is famous in Jinling and she is known as the first beauty in the country of Chen by good people.
Although the people behind Chen Xuanji couldn't name them, they knew that they were all important figures in the Yan family.
"Get up." He stretched out his hand faintly.
"Thanks your Majesty." The people headed by Yan Yuming and Yan Yanyan hurriedly bowed their hands and thanked them, and then they dared to stand up, with such a sincere and fearful attitude that looked like a gentle and gentleman.
"I wonder what is the so-called "His Majesty's late visit"?" Yan Yuming also asked respectfully after he got up.
"Patriarch Yan’s business is spread all over the country of Chen. What news can be kept from Patriarch’s ears. Don’t you know why I came today?" Chen Xuanji picked up Yan Yuming next to him. The good tea was gently sipped on the lips, and then he asked.
"Then I want to come to your Majesty for the battle at Changwuguan? This matter is related to the survival of Chen Guo. Although my Yan family is only the home of merchants, I also know that there is a reason to complete the egg under the nest. Your Majesty, don't worry. The Yan family must be duty-bound, and tomorrow will order to raise money and send it to the front-line army.” That Yan Yuming knows how to judge the situation, and he expressed his attitude almost without even thinking about it.
"Patriarch Yan is so concerned about state affairs, but it is Chen Guo's blessing, but the Patriarch does not need to worry. Although Cui Ting is strong, there are 100,000 tigers and wolves in the hands of King Qin riding. Unless he Li Yulin's imperial conquest, he wants to destroy Chen Guo. Strange people talk about dreams." Chen Xuanji said so, but his tone became gloomy.
"Is that so? That's good, that's good." Yan Yuming looked relaxed and relieved, but then asked again: "Then what is your Majesty's coming this time?"
"Do I want Patriarch to do me a favor?"
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I want an army, an army that can contend with a hundred thousand tigers and wolves, can Family Master Yan do it?"
"This...Your Majesty~IndoMTL.com~The army of one hundred thousand is not a small number, and moreover, we have to contend with the tiger and wolf ride..."
"Patriarch Yan doesn't need to be circumspect, you just need to tell me if you can do it."
"Energy is natural, but such an army needs a huge amount of money and food to support it, whether it is the money needed for formation or the subsequent expenses. Although it is the head of the Yan family, this matter is related to the Yan family. In the future, I dare not jump to conclusions."
"Patriarch speak bluntly, if I can give you what you want, it is absolutely unambiguous." Chen Xuanji obviously no longer has the thought of going around with this Yan Yuming, his brows froze, and his voice became gloomy again.
"Yan Yuming is a citizen of the Chen Kingdom. Everything in the Yan family was only obtained by relying on His Majesty's majesty. How dare you to intimidate your Majesty with this."
"It's just that my wife left early, and she gave up Yanyan again. I have only one daughter, and she has always admired your majesty. If your majesty is sympathetic to the grassroots and can favor Yanyan, Yan Yuming must be grateful to Dade, Yan The family will let your majesty send it!"
