Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Chapter 348 Tonight she and I have a multi-hundred-million-dollar business deal to discuss

After chatting with Ji Xuanfeng for a while, the life and death of a powerful prince was decided.

In reality, the so-called grand court meeting is basically just a formality, and the people who truly decide the direction of the entire country are actually just a few people.

From beginning to end, Ji Xuanfeng and Song Xuan never said a word about whether the King of Wei was guilty or not.

It does not matter.

In Ji Xuanfeng's view, his second brother had competed with him for the position of crown prince, and it was very likely that he had obtained the emperor's seal. He coveted a position that he should not have coveted and took something that he should not have taken. This in itself was an unforgivable crime!

In Song Xuan's case, the deputy commander's wife was raped and died. If the Xuanyi Guards did not react at all, then what was the point of him being the commander?

As a new commander, he always has to establish his authority. Killing anyone is the same as killing them.

It can not only establish your authority, but also win over the hearts of the people within the Xuanyi Guard. Why not do it?

Seeing that there was still some time before the end of get off work and he had nothing to do, Song Xuan had nothing to do, so he just sat cross-legged on the bench and started practicing.

Since he was promoted to the Grandmaster level, he no longer needs to take time out to practice hard.

His martial arts spirit, as the product of heavenly-level skills and the condensation of essence, energy and spirit, can now practice independently, tempering his body, refining his spirit and honing his true energy all the time.

It is equivalent to an idle training function, and everyone who uses it will say it is good.

The sky was getting dark. Song Xuan stood up, opened his eyes, and summarized his work for the day.

He attended the court and witnessed the emperor's ascension to the throne. He also took the opportunity to point the finger of blame for the Songzhou rebellion at the governor Zhao Kuangyin.

After leaving the court, he went to the Xuanyiwei Commander's Office to take office, inspected the internal work processes of the Commander, received work reports from the senior leaders of the Xuanyiwei, and by the way, reached a resolution with the emperor to deal with the King of Wei.

When you calculate it this way, his workload today is a bit over the limit. He is too busy, really too busy!

So, he decisively opened the door and prepared to leave work.

Walking in the yard, I glanced casually and saw that all departments were brightly lit. Looking around, I saw many civil servants busy organizing documents.

As the headquarters of the Xuanyiwei, they receive information reported by the Xuanyiwei thousand households from all over the territory of the Great Zhou every day. There are so many things that need to be registered, organized and included in the reports that they can't help but be busy.

Seeing his men so enthusiastic, Song Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

If you work harder, I will find you a wife next month.

After he left the yamen and walked away, figures appeared in many rooms and looked at each other.

"The commander has left?"

"gone!"

"Phew! I feel so depressed today. I've been so scared the whole day, afraid that if I do something wrong, the adults will punish me."

"Yes, he looks young, good-looking, and kind, and he always has a smile on his face, but for some reason, I always feel a little uneasy."

"That's normal. If you killed millions of people, we would probably feel uneasy watching you."

One of the centurions suggested, "The adults have left, why don't we go home too? There's always work to do, and it won't be too late to do it tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, get off work!"

Some people echoed, but it was just words. No one left work for a long time. Instead, they returned to their posts and became busy again.

Some even muttered to themselves, "You think we're stupid? You tricked us out of get off work so you can sneak back in and roll the dice, right?"

"That's right. It's only your first day in office, and you dare to leave work on time. Will you dare to skip work tomorrow?"

"That's right, if we don't work hard, the adults will have to work hard. If the adults work hard, then what's the point of us!"

"Let's go, get back to work, I have to stay up all night tonight!"

......

While his subordinates were fighting among themselves, Song Xuan went home leisurely.

"Brother, how does it feel to be a commander?"

Song Qian was drawing in the yard. When she saw Song Xuan coming back from get off work, she excitedly asked him.

"It's okay, just a little busy. Look, I didn't even get to get off work until it got dark."

"Ah?" Song Qian was stunned. What does that mean?

Song Xuan coughed lightly, "What I mean is, I don't get off work until dark, do you think I'm busy?"

“That’s pretty busy!”

For Song Qian, who showed up for work and then left, her brother stayed in the yamen until dark before going home. It seems that today was indeed a very busy day.

She immediately advised: "If you can't do it, then don't go to this crappy class. Our family is rich now, and we don't need your salary."

Song Xuan rolled his eyes. "That won't work. There are a lot of good things in the Xuanyiwei treasury. If I don't become the commander, how can I use the things in the treasury in the future?"

He was thinking that he would take some time tomorrow to go to the treasury to select some high-quality refining materials and use the power of his soul to temper his own weapon.

Think about how he used to cheat and kill people in order to get a better sword, but now he can choose from the treasury of an empire. This is the benefit of being an official.

Song Xuan didn't care why others became officials. He became a commander just for these benefits.

"That's true!"

When Song Qian heard about the Xuanyiwei treasure house, her eyes narrowed. "Remember to take me with you next time. It's time to change my weapons."

Song Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, you are indispensable."

If you want to go shopping in the treasury, Song Qian is naturally indispensable. With Song Erni, who has a lot of lucky bUffs, she can probably dig out all the valuable things in the Xuanyiwei treasury.

"By the way, where are Mochou and Long'er?"

"I went to play at your father-in-law's house."

Song Qian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Now your father-in-law has already determined that Long Er is the daughter of you and Sister Qingxue."

"Ok?"

Song Xuan was a little confused, "How did he determine this?"

"You'll have to ask our father about that. He took Long'er to the Lu family, and the Lu family got a granddaughter. Let alone the Lu family, if I didn't know the special nature of your technique, even I would be suspicious now. Did you sleep with Sister Qingxue five years ago?

The Lu family is now convinced that Sister Qingxue ran away from home to take care of her pregnancy."

Song Xuan smiled and didn't care. Xiaolongnu was so cute, he didn't mind having another daughter.

"Tell our father that I won't be back at night because I have something to do."

It's already dark. I wonder how Yaoyue's newly bought manor is being tidied. I'm a little angry at her teasing today. I must make her kneel down and beg for mercy tonight!

"Brother, you're not going to the brothel with Lu Xiaoliu and the others again, are you?"

Victoria Song warned: "You are about to get married, so you'd better be careful. Even if Sister Qingxue is generous, she will probably feel bad."

"No, don't think about it."

Song Xuan whispered, "I'm going to see your sister Qingxue. I have a big business deal worth hundreds of millions to discuss with her tonight."

"A multi-billion dollar business?" Victoria Song said in disbelief, "Tsk, just brag!"

Song Xuan laughed and walked out the door without explaining anything.

Believe it or not, if they say it’s hundreds of millions, then it’s hundreds of millions.

If you can't understand, that's your business. It doesn't mean that I, Song~Honest Young Master~Xuan, lied!

Chapter 349 From now on, this is our home

The moonlight in the imperial capital seems to be more rugged and majestic than the moonlight in other places.

Yao Yue wore a hibiscus white cloak with a light red fox collar on the outside, and a dignified and elegant purple long skirt on the inside.

It adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to the atmosphere of wealth.

She was originally a female knight who had been the master of a martial arts holy land. Now standing outside the manor, she looked less like a gangster and more like the lady of a wealthy family.

Seeing Song Xuan in a white robe walking towards her in the moonlight, she raised a smile, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were like stars, and when their eyes met, there was a hint of affection in their meeting.

"Are you getting impatient?"

Song Xuan stepped forward and pinched her pretty face, "I'm quite busy today, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yao Yue's eyes softened as she shook her head gently, "When I think about living here with my husband in the future, even if I have to wait a long time, my heart is filled with sweetness."

As she spoke, she blinked and lowered her voice, "But my lord, can you explain to me, when did the little girl named Long'er who came to play at my house today become my daughter?"

"I don't know about this either."

Song Xuan spread his hands and said he knew nothing about anything.

"Hmph! I asked, and she's Xiao Qian's disciple. But my family, both my father and my mother, think she's the daughter I gave birth to five years ago when I ran away from home."

Yao Yue's pretty face flushed a little. Although she and Song Xuan were already husband and wife, they had not yet gotten married. She felt a little embarrassed when talking about the child.

Getting pregnant before marriage is not a good thing to say to others, even if the customs between men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty are very open.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe Long Er looks a bit like you and me, and our ages are right. Your parents may have misunderstood."

Yao Yue rolled her eyes at him. She was always very gentle in front of Song Xuan, but now she was also a little embarrassed and angry. "It must be because of the nonsense you said in front of my father when you came to my house last time!"

Song Xuan looked bewildered. "Ah? I didn't say anything. Don't ask me. I don't know even if you ask!"

Yao Yue rolled her eyes at him. "Just pretend... But that little girl is really cute. Seeing her is like seeing myself as a child. No wonder my parents misunderstood."

Song Xuan pinched her face and said, "Do you like children? If you do, we can have one ourselves for fun!"

Yao Yue's ears turned red. She subconsciously looked around and spat, "Don't say that kind of thing outside!"

She put her arms around Song Xuan's waist, put her pretty face on his chest, and murmured: "Fortunately, fortunately I am going to marry you, otherwise the whole imperial capital would be laughing at me."

Song Xuan hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, and said softly, "Miss Lu, your reputation was even greater than Victoria Song's back then. Who dares to laugh at you?"

Yao Yue chuckled as she leaned against her chest. "That's true. All the playboys in the capital would run away if they saw me. But you're the only one who's not afraid of me and even beats me up at every turn."

Speaking of which, we can be considered to have forged a friendship through fighting."

Feeling the restless hands in her arms wandering over her body, Yao Yue gave her a coquettish look, struggled to get up, and said, "The manor is almost cleaned up. My dear husband, would you like to go on a garden tour with me?"

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "My lady has invited me, how dare I refuse?"

As they spoke, the two of them walked through the door arm in arm.

Inside the gate, a group of flower slaves from Yihua Palace had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the son-in-law Song Xuan enter, they bowed solemnly.

They had witnessed Song Xuan's power as early as when they were in Yihua Palace. He was a powerful existence who could defeat a veteran master-level flower slave with one hand.

Today, when some flower slaves went out to purchase things for the mansion, they heard that the son-in-law had taken over the position of commander of the Xuanyi Guard, and was truly second only to the emperor and above millions of people.

He is very powerful and has high authority. He is also young and handsome with unlimited potential for the future. Anyone who sees him would not treat him with caution and serve him well.

"You all should go down and rest. I will walk with my husband!"

At Yao Yue's command, no one dared to disobey. One of the flower slaves handed Yao Yue a lantern, and then they quickly dispersed.

"This manor sold by the Marquis of Changqing covers an area of ​​300 acres. In terms of area alone, it is no less than an ordinary duke's mansion."

The two of them strolled in the manor, and Yao Yue introduced it from time to time.

"The architectural style of the manors in the imperial capital has always been majestic, with a predominantly grayish color scheme. But I don't like that very much. I prefer the white walls, black tiles, gardens, and streams of the Jiangnan water towns."

"This manor is in the style of the Jiangnan water towns. I looked at seven or eight manors before choosing the most suitable one. I just wonder if my husband is satisfied?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I've never cared much about these material possessions. I care more about who I'm with. With you, even if it's just three thatched huts, I'd be happy."

Who doesn't like to hear sweet words? Although Yao Yue was trying hard to suppress her smile, her eyes had subconsciously curved into crescent shapes. The lantern in her hand was swaying slowly, and she was obviously in a very good mood.

"This manor mainly consists of three rows of houses with three entrances, plus a separate courtyard and a landscape garden. This is the west courtyard."

Yao Yue pointed to a courtyard not far away with a lantern. Song Xuan looked around and saw a lot of bamboos planted in the lush greenery not far away, and a fresh breath came to his face.

The two walked in. Although it was winter, the night wind was quite gentle and not cold. They sat by the railing. At this moment, a full moon hung in the dark sky, making the place even more quiet.

The evening breeze caressed the bamboo forest, and a rustling sound was heard. Song Xuan gazed at the towers and pavilions not far away, and the gurgling clear spring, feeling calm. He liked this place with ancient style and charm very much.

He is not very greedy for external enjoyment, but it must be said that staying in such an elegant and peaceful environment is indeed a kind of enjoyment in life.

Next, the two of them walked around the other two roads in the manor, and Song Xuan had a new understanding of the level of luxury of the powerful and wealthy class.

Not to mention the rockery, lakes, bamboo forests, various pavilions and courtyards, Song Xuan even saw an artificial waterfall in the garden behind the villa.

Song Xuan stood in front of the waterfall for a long time without saying a word.
