Throwing away the money in his hand, Yang Shu smiled broadly and said he had made a profit today.
At night, Yang Shu returned to King Ding's Mansion. Lu Yun and Liu Yun had already had dinner, and they were sitting together chatting. When Yang Shu came back, Lu Yun asked Mo Mei to go to the kitchen to bring the warm meals.
After drinking a glass of water, Yang Shu poured out Mengpo's three taels of silver from his purse and showed off: "I earned it today."
Lu Yun and Liu Yun looked at each other. The three taels of silver were not a big amount, so they probably hadn't robbed anyone.
"What do you two look like?"
"My eldest son, it's not easy. If you hadn't worked so hard outside, everyone in the house would not even have food to eat."
Liu Yun pressed the corner of her eyes with her turban, feeling moved.
Yang Shu tilted her side and said, "That's a nice compliment. Be more reserved next time."
There was laughter in the room.
"Let's use some together?" Yang Shu invited.
Lu Yun and Liu Yun both shook their heads. They didn't like to eat too much at night.
"I shot Feng Bai today, and the arrow penetrated his right chest."
Lu Yun served Yang Shu a bowl of soup, "We already know about this, but there is no movement from the Feng family."
"They want me to pay with my blood, but Marquis Jingyang's only son is not easy to touch."
"Huh?" Lu Yun looked at Yang Shu, "Did your husband give yourself an identity?"
"Then I must wear one. I'm so arrogant. If I don't have a whole shell, I'm so brittle. If someone crushes me casually, I might become straight."
Liu Yun kowtowed lightly, "Xie Xuxu is afraid that she doesn't know that you have plotted against her."
"I didn't ask for it, she helped promote it herself." Yang Shu took a sip of soup and spoke casually.
"What did you reveal?" Liu Yun was very interested.
"Han Chi."
Just two words, both Lu Yun and Liu Yun understood.
Rumors spread that Ye Guo coveted Yan State. The appearance of the legitimate princess in Jian'an was already arousing suspicion. With Han Chi, everyone was sure that Ye Guo's mind was not pure.
Yang Shu was hit by an arrow in order to stimulate the old man and make his already weak body become more and more decayed. If the old man could not stay or even died of illness, Ye Guo could capture the Yan State as quickly as possible.
The reason for starting the war starts with the tragic death of the Marquis of Jingyang's only son in Jian'an.
At the beginning, they pretended to ask for an explanation, and gradually the conflicts were ignited, and they naturally broke out.
Since he knew that Jiangchuan was part of Ye State's attack on Yan State, how could Feng Shangshu step into this trap? He couldn't even get close. As long as he sent people, Jiangchuan might just happen to die.
Once a person dies, it's not something you can tell clearly with your mouth.
"Treacherous, every step is not in vain." Liu Yun gave the kerchief to Yang Shu and asked him to wipe the soup spilled on his hands.
"Miscellaneous praise."
Liu Yun smiled, "I dare to make up anything, and I'm not afraid of anyone exposing you."
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Yun did not stay any longer.
"Madam, I'm tired of it." After taking a bath, Yang Shu put his arms around Lu Yun, and after a while, he picked up the book again.
Relying on her photographic memory, she almost changed one book every two days. Those related to people's livelihood would take a little longer.
"Have you washed it?" Lu Yun put down the book and held hands with Yang Shu.
"Make sure it's very clean. Madam, do you want to take a look?" Yang Shu kissed Lu Yun's ear with an ambiguous voice.
Lu Yun pinched Yang Shu's nose because he loved teasing her.
"Madam, do you find it boring to stay in the house all day?" Yang Shu asked lightly while holding Lu Yunxiang's soft body on the bed.
"This is my home. How can it be boring? Don't worry about me. I won't force myself. If I get tired, I will stop."
"Husband, I like those books."
"Yes." Yang Shu kissed Lu Yun's hair. His warm house was full of warmth, but even the emperor and Feng Shangshu couldn't sleep.
In the study room, the candle lights were dancing, and Feng Shangshu's face was so heavy that water dripped from his face.
"Father." Feng Qingwan called out.
"Come in." Feng Shangshu straightened his sitting posture.
"Father is up late at night, but has something to worry about? Then Jiang Chuan..." Feng Qingwan pursed her lips.
"This man cannot be moved." Feng Shangshu closed his eyes, "Jiang Chuan was pushed out by Ye Guo to be killed."
"His true identity is that he is the only son of Marquis Jingyang."
"Jingyang Marquis is very arrogant in Ye State. If Jiang Chuan is to die in Jian'an, he will not give up and will definitely lead his army to kill him."
"Your eldest brother is one of them. Ever since Jiangchuan entered Jian'an, he will definitely have the blood of officials' children on his hands."
Feng Qingwan was stunned. She didn't expect things to be so complicated.
"Father, is it true?" Feng Qingwan murmured, her body tensed slightly. Although she was a woman, she also knew that the national power of Yan State was not as powerful as Ye State.
Once a war breaks out, Yan will be defeated.
"I have found out that Han Chi did follow Wulu into Jian'an."
Feng Qingwan's eyes suddenly raised, her pupils trembled, and she no longer had any doubts.
"Father, what about us?"
"There's no need to panic."
Feng Shangshu comforted Feng Qingwan, his eyes turned cold, "There are many people hiding under Jian'an. Not only Ye Guo is eyeing Yan Guo, they will not make Ye Guo get his wish."
"The news about Jiangchuan was released by them."
Feng Qingwan lowered her eyes, "Father, does it really make people happy that King Ding's palace is destroyed?"
"Marshal Yang is the military soul of the Yang Army. Without him, can the Yang Army still display its previous combat effectiveness?"
"Without the intimidation of King Ding's palace, those countries will really allow Yan to grow?"
Feng Shangshu looked indifferent and said, "The Yan State is full of talents, and there are always generals."
"Okay, go to bed."
Feng Qingwan bowed and exited the study. Her father told her so much tonight because he was afraid that she would cause trouble for Jiang Chuan in anger.
This person must be avoided.
The emperor could even attack the Dinggu Palace who helped him ruthlessly, let alone the Feng family.
Once Ye Guo gets into trouble, he will hand over the Feng family without hesitation.
Walking on the bluestone road, Feng Qingwan's eyes couldn't focus. She felt more confused than ever before. As a king, shouldn't he protect his people? As an official, don’t you seek the welfare of the people?
Why do you still fight among yourself and destroy the pillar of your country when you clearly know that you are weak?
Are these people really not afraid of subjugation?
…
"hunting?"
Yang Shu took a cloth and wiped his sweat, "He wants to ease the relationship between the two countries."
"It seems that the emperor doesn't want to have that gold mine anymore."
Shaking his head, Yang Shu stepped forward, Pai Gow following him, reporting the news received.
"Your Majesty, will Wu Lu expose you?"
"Then he has to know, the emperor and Feng Shangshu, these two people will not leak a word." Yang Shu chuckled, "It would be so embarrassing to show it in front of others."
"It also seems that I am a coward. I know clearly that Ye Guo has bad intentions, but he still keeps himself low and does not dare to say a harsh word."
"If word gets out, there's no place for their faces."
"I don't have much free time these days, especially during the day when I'm not in the house. You must take care of the food in each hospital."
"With this money, the guards will patrol and work hard every day, buy them some clothes, and prepare some banquets. In the evening, I can have a few drinks with them."
"The monthly payment will be doubled starting from next month."
Pai Gow nodded repeatedly, and seeing that Yang Shu had no other instructions, he left briskly.
The perfume was selling well, the money in the house was coming, and the prince became more and more generous.
