Blood from Daming

Chapter 146 Brothers
Only Xue Yun, Ms. Chen, and Xu Zhifu were left in the small living room. Xue Yun took out a long wooden box from a package that Ms. Chen put on the table and put it on the table: "Brother, why don't you come over and take a look at this box?" .”

Xu Zhifu walked two steps and picked up the box Xue Yun said. When Xu Zhifu saw the box, he knew from experience that it was an imperial decree, but it felt heavy to start with. So he opened the box with curiosity, and it was indeed an imperial edict. The prefect Xu immediately bowed to the imperial decree three times, respectfully took out the imperial decree, and found a token at the bottom of the box on which the inscription was written: imperial order to patrol the wind, "order".

Xu Zhifu was so shocked that he was dripping with cold sweat and his legs were flashing. He was so daring and reckless that he actually started a deal with the imperial patrol envoy who was missed by the officials who inspected the world. Xu Zhifu looked at what Xue Yun wanted to say, but his teeth Up and down have been fighting.

Xue Yun comforted: "Brother, those corrupt and perverted people who trade money and power will definitely be severely punished by the court. My Xue family recommended Big Brother for the country, and there is no benefit in asking Big Brother for a penny."

Xu Zhifu repeatedly agreed: "Brother is right, this means that internal promotion does not avoid relatives, and external promotion does not avoid enemies."

Xue Yun smiled and said to Xu Zhifu: "But the benefits are naturally reserved for our own people." Xu Zhifu laughed when he heard this, and the dull atmosphere in the small living room was much less for a while.

Xu Zhifu is in a much better mood now, took off the bright yellow satin cover with cloud patterns on the imperial decree, and then gently unfolded the imperial decree. When it was halfway through the unfolding, the first thing that appeared in front of Xu Zhifu was the four characters "as I come in person". Xu Zhifu's heart beat violently, and his mouth was dry. He had never seen or heard such an imperial decree.

He controlled his emotions and continued to unfold the imperial decree, and saw a few lines of much smaller embroidered characters behind it: Shangyu: special appointment as general and deputy general of Dingguo. Above the third rank of Tianxun hunting, you can listen to the secrets. Those below the third rank are in charge of the power of life and death.
After reading it, Xu Zhifu knew that this was an absolutely true imperial decree. He didn't expect that he would bump into a big backer when he met a dead mouse. Hard goods cover myself, no matter whether I am in Shandong or Nanzhili, I am a horizontal character, just kidding whoever offends me, I will ask my god-brother to come and listen to the ginseng or be killed first and then played.

Seeing Xu Zhifu, Xue Yun was very excited and estimated that the effect he wanted had been achieved: "Brother, if you have any difficulties in the future, just ask, so that the younger brother will do his best to help."

Prefect Xu quickly said: "We are now a family of brothers and we don't talk about each other. If there is anything you need, you must not be polite. My brother will rely on his own brothers for help in the future."

Xue Yun: "Everyone is a brother, so let's talk about it. I'll go to my grandfather to talk about it first, so that I don't have to promise others and then go back on it, and a lot of troubles will happen." Xu Zhifu repeatedly said yes.

Xue Yun asked the maids in the mansion to send Ms. Chen back to the backyard, and he accompanied Xu Zhifu out of the gate of Xiaoxue Mansion. Xu Zhifu repeatedly urged Xue Yun to stay and hoped to meet Xue Yun's grandfather. Xue Yun said that he would send someone as soon as he had news. Inform Xu Zhifu, Brother Xu, Xu Zhifu is really anxious to leave the young man to live with Xue Yun's porter and wait for the news before he can rest assured.

Xue Yun sent Xu Zhifu away hungry and went to his grandfather's small courtyard. When Xue Yun saw his grandfather Xue Rui, he said, "Grandpa, bring me something to eat. My grandson's intestines are going to burst from hunger."

Xue Rui immediately ordered the concubine beside her to get some pastries and some side dishes. Xue Rui said, "Yun'er, what are you busy with? Why don't you even have time for lunch?"

Xue Yun: "Grandpa sent someone to call grandson over to the house in the morning, and he only ate a few bites. At noon, he was delayed by the prefect Xu until now. Just now, he sent the prefect to come to grandpa."

Xue Rui: "Oh, grandson, do you mean the prefect Xu who told you that Dongchang Mansion wiped out the White Lotus Sect with you?"

Xue Yun: "It's the prefect Xu. Grandpa, I don't understand why Zhu Huangqin and Lord Luo Sigong gave such a big piece of fat from Hangzhou to our Xue family."

Xue Rui smiled and said: "Grandson can think about the problem like this, and grandpa is relieved to give you the seat of Patriarch. Let grandpa test why you, Emperor Zhu and Lord Luo, gave the seat of prefect of Hangzhou to Xue's family."

Shi Ji brought a plate of bean noodle buns, sticky cake buns and rose cakes and put them in front of Xue Yun's seat. Xue Yun picked up the buns and ate them. He ate several of them and poured half a pot of herbal tea.

Xue Rui said repeatedly from the side: "Grandson eat slowly so you don't get choked."

Xue Yun filled his stomach half full before saying to his grandfather, "Grandpa, could it be that those two adults have taken a fancy to the trade route from Hangzhou to Cangzhou and finally to Beijing."

Xue Rui: "Yun'er, you guessed right, but this is only a part of it. This is just a transaction between our Xue family and Lord Zhu Huangqin and Luo Sigong."

Xue Yun didn't understand the inside story at all after hearing what his grandfather said, so he had to wait for Xue Rui to explain: "Yun Er, although you have always been the training object of the "Qian Kun Sun Moon Order", but grandson, you are already the deputy general of the imperial court. The Order of the Sun and the Moon should be given up. This time the "Order of the Universe, the Sun and the Moon" enlisted you to be a Dharma protector mainly because of your Datong iron cavalry. Grandpa disagreed. You joined the "Order of the Universe, the Sun and the Moon" Luo Sigong this time. Just revealing your aunt's matter is fine, so that the seat of the Xue family's Hangzhou magistrate is allowed to take care of your little aunt's business with the Xue family. "

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, what conditions did Zhu Huangqin and Luo Sigong impose on Datong Xue's army?"

Shi Ji sent Xue Yun four side dishes and a pot of shochu. The four side dishes are: duck breast in sauce, white-cut mutton with garlic paste, fried peanuts, and raw cabbage mixed with water. The wine is authentic burning knife wine, and Xue Yun is alone I drank a little wine.

Xue Rui: "According to Zhu Huangqin and Luo Sigong, one of the remnants of Jianwen has developed and grown in Mongolia. Unless there are elite cavalry like Yun'er joining, it will be difficult for the killer power of the "Qian Kun Sun Moon Order" to defeat the Mongolian army. The remnants of Jianwen.However, the two adults said that they would not directly participate in the affairs of your team, and acquiesced in your use of this new trade route from Cangzhou to Beijing as a source of extra income for your Jinyiwei secret camp and Datong army. "

Xue Yun: "Grandpa's conditions are very good, but grandson thinks this matter is too happy, but it makes grandson a little uneasy. Grandson doesn't believe that pie will really fall from the sky."

Xue Rui thought for a while and said, "It was the envoy of Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigongluo, who mentioned King Xin, saying that King Xin admired his grandson very much, and nothing else matters."

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, did that royal relative of Zhu mention that royal relative?"

Xue Rui: "Prince Zhu didn't say anything, but his attitude is much better than that of Luo Sigong. Usually this relative Zhu is notoriously rigid and serious. Grandpa feels that he has changed his temper."

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, my grandson probably understands, let the bigwigs of the imperial court fight for power and profit, and our Xue family will just sit on the fishing boat and make a fortune."

After listening to Xue Yun's words, Xue Rui lowered his voice and asked, "Does grandson mean that they are recruiting people into the gang?" Xue Rui pointed to his head.

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, these two adults are trying to recruit our Xue family, but the two of them are not together, and our Xue family happened to eat Fuxi at two places."

Xue Rui nodded thoughtfully: "Our courtiers can't care about the rotten sesame seeds of the royal millet, but what's the use of these people struggling with poverty when the Holy Majesty is now in his prime."

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and good fortunes. Who can say for sure. There is a saying: opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Besides, today's sages are busy with strange skills. Isn't it a chance to teach people?" .”

Xue Rui waited for Xue Yun to finish speaking, and then circled around in the living room for a while before speaking: "The grandson's words are very reasonable, we as courtiers should just watch these things with a cold eye, don't get involved so as not to cause a catastrophe. "

Then Xue Rui mentioned that Xue Cong wanted the explosive package. Xue Rui didn't want Xue Yun to hand over the secret recipe because he was afraid that Xue's family would lose the magic weapon for their survival, but Xue Yun was worried that Xue Cong, a small boss, would not be able to protect the explosive package at all. After adding the suspicion that Xue Cong's boss wanted the secret recipe of the explosive pack, he never thought of handing over the secret recipe of the explosive pack to the big brother Xue Cong.

Xue Rui took down a list from the bookshelf in the living room and handed it to Xue Yun: "It's just a list that Xue Jiu sent in the afternoon, with weapons and equipment painted with hooks on it, Yun'er tried to get a handle on it."

Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the list of supplies that Xue Jiu sent. It was written densely on the list: [-] spears, [-] round shields, [-] swords, [-] sets of winter and summer quilts, plus food and other supplies One hundred chariots, one thousand sets of armor, one thousand horses with complete harnesses, sabers and horse armor, and one thousand hard bows made secretly by Ouchi.After reading it, Xue Yun looked up at his grandfather Xue Rui, and found that there were tears in the eyes of the strong old man.
