However, Lu Jing did not feel ashamed after hearing Xiao Chen's words, but felt confident.
Mr. Xiao, don’t you know how busy I am right now?
I can only sleep two hours a night these days! Not to mention inviting you, Mr. Xiao, to dinner. Sometimes I am too busy to even bother to eat!
Why are you free now? You have helped me so much that it is worth ten days and a half of my busy work, so I can just use this time to take a break and be lazy.
When Ma Wuming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, saw him, he was as if he were a relative. Not only did he personally welcome him, he also hugged him and kissed him hard in front of everyone.
Brother, you are here. If you don't come, I will come to your door. Come in quickly. Brother, I have a lot of secrets to talk to you about. Complaints? cant!
How can I suffer when your brother is here? Only sweet.
Why are you holding on to me? Damn it, what if you run away! It took a lot of effort for you to fall into the trap...
Xiao Chen was bleeding heavily this time. Not only did he give more than five million taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue, he also gave the Ministry of War 500 tiger-headed ballistas, fifty hot air balloons, 10,000 pairs of lightweight cowhide armors, cowhide combat boots, and more. There are war horses...
Li Wanjiang asked for these personally, so he had to give them as little as possible. After all, these were all used to kill the brothers of the Tianxuan Society.
He had people do some tricks on the armored tiger-headed ballista, which reduced its durability a lot, weakened the spring elasticity a lot, and deliberately made the armor heavier, making it difficult to move. Yizhou has more mountains and less flat land. Therefore, the practical effect of the armored tiger-headed ballista will be greatly reduced.
In addition, he did not provide corresponding replacement parts and technical personnel. Once the ballista was damaged, it would not be able to be put into combat.
Hot air balloons are high-end technology, which does not mean that everyone can drive them. What Xiao Chen gave them were the first batch of old products with a high failure rate, and they also did not send drivers.
Speaking of which, how difficult is it for the Heavenly Army to train a mature hot air balloon driver? So far, they only have a few hundred, and they don’t even have enough for themselves. How can they give them away in vain?
But all the shares were given away. As expected by Ling'er, not even 10% of Xiao Chen's 70% shares were left. Wang Anbang, Ma Wuming, Lu Jing, Zhu Xiaochuan...the rest was divided into small shares and given to Some of the lighter weight guys.
In short, as long as they are Xiao Chen's friends, he will give them all away. He has always been very generous to his friends.
But it was not so good with girls. Murong Danqiu and Liu Ruyun knew that he was in Fengyang and wanted to see him every day, but this guy never came again except for three days to ask for permission!
He said that the current situation is tense and it is not convenient to meet... I believe you, you are such a bad brat, you must have a new love!
I guessed half of it right. Xiao Chen's absence from them was really to avoid suspicion, because his current situation in Fengyang City is actually not very good. Things can change at any time, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, so he must keep a low profile. , so low-key that he spends every day attending various banquets...
Of course, it was also because of Angelina. Xiao Chen was afraid that Murong Danqiu would notice something was wrong. Even if there was a little perfume on his body, Danqiu might be able to smell it. If asked face to face, how would he respond?
In the final analysis, he had a guilty conscience and did not dare to face Danqiu.
As for Liu Ruyun, he didn't dare to provoke her. This girl was crazy. She might molest him in broad daylight. Do you think it was better for him to scream for help or to obey?
Neither is appropriate.
These two people have special status, and Yang Feng'er actually doesn't matter, but Xiao Chen really doesn't have the extra energy to deal with her now, and everyone knows the reason.
Dear Queen Rose is so... warm.
There is also an enthusiastic little nun who is pure.
The decree finally came down, and those who came with a clear heart were ordered to transform the souls of the dead into Yinshan. Xiao Chen definitely wanted to send him off, but it was just a send-off. They looked at each other and couldn't even say a word of affection.
It's like a room full of water, and the pulse is speechless.
The Queen Mother's illness was getting worse day by day, and the news coming out every day was very bad. Li Wanjiang had already begun to prepare for the Queen Mother's funeral affairs, and issued an order to summon all relatives to Beijing.
Fengyang City is filled with an ominous aura of death.
This made Xiao Yu quite nervous, wondering if the emperor was going to take this opportunity to kill all the relatives who had real power in various places?
It doesn't matter if we kill them all, but we are afraid that the city gate will catch fire and harm the fish in the pond.
Don't forget that the boss Xiao Chen is also a local powerful man, and he has a pretty good relationship with the Queen Mother.
Xiao Chen said there's no need to worry about this. Even if the emperor wants to kill someone, he won't kill me... It probably won't happen now, but it's true that you can't stay here for a long time.
The letters from the old man and the others urge me to go back every day, as if I really want to stay here!
Xiao Yu didn't say anything, giving him acquiescence, because I feel like boss, you are living quite happily here, eating and drinking all day long, and when you come back in the evening, you still don't know what's going on with that Angelina.
I am as happy as if I am on vacation every day. My subordinates dare not tell you, boss, if they have something to say... I am a bit too complacent to get carried away, boss!
Your boss is happy and free, but we are on tenterhooks every day, with all the nerves in our bodies tense, not daring to relax even a moment!
Xiao Yu didn't know that Xiao Chen was actually eager to return, but he didn't dare to show any intention of going back in a hurry. He deliberately acted like he was lingering just to show the emperor and others. Let the emperor know that I am enjoying myself in time, and I don’t miss Shu when I am happy.
He did not dare to say goodbye to Li Wanjiang, fearing that the emperor would be prone to overthinking during this sensitive period.
He didn't go to see Li Shi either, because Li Shi was very busy now, and those relatives could not see the emperor for a while after they came to Beijing, let alone the queen mother. They couldn't go back, and they didn't know what to expect if they were left to wait for the decree to be announced. At that time, in a hurry, they all ran to Li Shi to inquire about the news...
Of course, it's definitely not as simple as asking for information, because if the Queen Mother dies, the big tree will fall down, and the only person they, the homeless hozens, can rely on is Li Shi, the Queen Mother's most 'loved' grandson. Who else could he vote for if he didn't switch?
It can only be Li Feng, King of Fengyang. In fact, many of the military relatives and generals had already established contact with Li Feng when the Queen Mother first fell ill. Everyone knew that Li Feng held military power and was in charge of the military. As long as he was willing to tolerate it, big guys Only then can we continue to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
So now the foreign relatives group has actually begun to decompose and is roughly divided into three parts.
Some chose Jiangdong King Li Shi, some went to Fengyang King Li Feng, and some decided to place their treasure on the emperor.
These all vary from person to person, and everyone makes what they think is the right decision based on their actual situation.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who have close contacts with King Zhongcheng Li Wanyun and King Yandang... They all vote for their own masters, so there is no need to describe them all.
