After saying that, Li Qingyan chuckled, turned around and left.
Xu Yuan watched the tall and graceful figure disappear around the corner. He was silent for a long time and cursed abruptly:
"damn it."
Jiang He glanced at him: "Vulgar."
Xu Yuan glanced back: "You old man knows nothing."
Jiang He's cheeks twitched: "Then you can tell me why I, an old man, don't understand?"
Xu Yuan sat back on the chair and crossed his legs:
"Didn't you hear just now? My safety is protected by Li Qingyan."
Jiang He frowned:
"What's this?"
"That's why I said you don't know shit."
The wrinkles on Jiang He's face shook with anger, and when he was about to get angry, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled and explained:
"Old Jiang, it's a very simple thing. Don't you think that when I go to the north as the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, shouldn't I be protected by Mr. Zong?"
Jiang He's eyes looked strange when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
Xu Yuanze looked at the direction Li Qingyan left and shook his head:
"This princess is really invisible. I have no idea what she is thinking."
Jiang He is neither cold nor indifferent:
"She shouldn't be against you."
Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand:
"What I said just now was my evaluation of my fiancée from the perspective of a consort, not because I was worried that she would be bad for me."
After a pause, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with a faint light:
“Of course, this is not absolute.
"I have an intuition. If the overall situation requires it, I feel that Wu Yuanneng will sell his husband as bait."
"For a woman whose hands are stained with hundreds of thousands of wronged souls, tenderness will only come second to iron-bloodedness."
After Jiang He listened carefully, he looked at Xu Yuan deeply, did not answer, but asked instead:
"I'm not interested in getting involved in your personal affairs, but you, the boy who followed Wu Yuan here, must have other matters to ask me for, right?"
When Xu Yuan saw this, he immediately sat up straight. He came to see Jiang He because he had other things to do, and said with a smile:
"I'm here because I want Mr. Jiang to do me a small favor with your Gwuyuan."
Jiang He didn't want to interrupt directly:
"Want me to do a little favor? Hehe. You can think about it slowly in your dream."
Asking for help, Xu Yuan still licked his face and smiled:
"Mr. Jiang... don't refuse in a hurry."
Jiang He's eyes were cold and his old voice was sonorous and powerful:
"No money."
"."Xu Yuan.
"However, if you want my help, it's not impossible."
Jiang He glanced at Xu Yuan coldly, rubbing his index finger and thumb gently.
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched when he saw this gesture.
One or two of these old guys have lost their sights on money.
With a sigh, Xu Yuan took out a stack of banknotes from his Xumi Ring, with a face value of 10,000 liang:
"Are these enough?"
Jiang He's pupils lit up slightly when he saw what Xu Yuan had touched out, and he reached out to take it, but was held down by Xu Yuan:
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't your kid give the money to me?"
"I didn't even ask for it, who knows if you'll get hacked."
Both hands were placed on the pile of banknotes, and the room fell into silence for a moment.
Jiang He's white hair moved slightly, but his voice was still neither cold nor indifferent:
"You are insulting my character."
"Chi"
Xu Yuan sneered:
"What kind of character do you have? You and Hua Hong, two old men, were able to swindle us four brothers and sisters from their New Year's money when we were young. What kind of character can you have? They said they were helping to save and make money, but now you don't even see any money."
"." Jiang He.
Jiang He's face turned red, but his hand was still on the stack of banknotes, with no intention of letting go, and he directly changed the subject:
"Okay, tell me what you want me to do."
When Xu Yuan heard this, he said directly:
"I want you to help me develop a pill."
"What level?" Jiang He asked.
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed and he asked subconsciously:
"Level? What level? Are there different levels of elixirs?"
When Jiang He heard this, he became angry:
"Third Young Master, you really don't like the fireworks of the world. You eat the high-grade B-level elixirs like jelly beans, and the lower-grade A-level elixirs also eat so many. You don't know that there are levels of elixirs?"
"."Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan really didn't pay attention to this matter.
After all, he didn't have to buy it himself.
When he ran out of pills, he went directly to the old housekeeper to ask for them, and the old housekeeper just told him the effects of the pills and the precautions when taking drugs.
At this time, Jiang He said softly:
"Elixirs are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. Each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. There are nine levels in total. Which type of elixir do you want to develop?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice:
"The elixir I want should be considered a top grade A grade."
"Class A upper class?"
"Well, it's probably on the same level as the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill."
Jiang He took a deep breath, raised his voice, and glanced at the pile of banknotes he was holding:
"Blood-spirit fusion is not of the elixir level. Five hundred thousand taels want to develop this elixir. Are you kidding me?"
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Not enough money?"
Jiang He said angrily: "Boy, do you really not know the cost of developing elixirs? It usually costs hundreds of thousands to develop a Class B elixir. Medicinal materials of this level such as Blood Spirit Fusion Pill are all valuable." There is no market, and it usually costs hundreds of thousands of taels to make a furnace. If you want to develop a new medicine, the price will be at least ten times higher."
Xu Yuan opened his mouth. He was a little frightened by this kind of research and development funding.
Jiang He looked at his expression and snorted coldly:
"And the research and development of this kind of elixir is a bottomless pit. The medicinal properties of the medicinal materials need to be adjusted bit by bit. If any medicinal materials cannot be purchased, all the initial investment will be wasted."
After all,
Jiang He moved his hand away from the pile of banknotes.
He didn't know what the purpose of Xu Yuan suddenly said about developing new elixirs, but Xu Yinhe would never allow such a level of expenditure.
As long as Xu Yinhe doesn't allow it, Xu Yuan will never be able to spend so much money.
For a time, there was a brief silence in the Accord.
After a moment of silence, Jiang He stood up slowly:
"Okay, there are a lot of things going on in Gewün Yuan, so I'll go first."
"etc."
Xu Yuan suddenly stopped him, sighed, and slowly began to take out the banknotes from the Sumeru Ring.
A stack.
Two stacks.
three stacks
Xu Yuan didn't stop what he was doing until Jiang He looked straight in his eyes.
Jiang He opened his eyes wide and looked at the seven to eight piles of banknotes with a face value of ten thousand taels placed on the table.
More than four million taels
Jiang He's voice stuttered:
"Where did you get so much money, kid?"
Xu Yuan smiled and spread his hands:
"Of course it's the Wanxiang Sect."
Jiang He returned to his smiling face and sat back on the chair with a smile:
"Hasn't all the money been distributed? Why did you secretly hide so much?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and chuckled:
"The Wanxiang Sect is not the only sect's property in Wanxiang City. Is it normal to suffer losses during the war?"
Jiang He did not ask further questions. He pondered for a moment and did not show any sign of being obsessed with money. Instead, he asked Xu Yuan seriously:
"Changtian, have you been saving all your money from the beginning to develop this kind of elixir?"
Xu Yuan was slightly silent and sighed:
"yes."
"Can I ask you why?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and knocked on the table lightly:
"If possible, I hope Mr. Jiang can help me hide this from my father.
"If you don't have enough money or you encounter any trouble, contact me as soon as possible and I will find a way to get more money."
"Well, if you need any medicinal materials, I can also think of a way."
Facts have proved that Xu Yuan's guess about the northern border was correct.
After conspiring with Jiang He to get out of Lutianyuan, Xu Yuan was about to go to Feng Jiuxuan's Jiange Dojo to get stabbed, so Xu Changge found him.
Xu Changge, who had always been a man of few words, worriedly told him a lot of things at once, including the pros and cons of a big pass.
To sum it up in one sentence.
The royal family and they need a bargaining chip of mutual trust when it comes to matters in the north.
The heirs of both sides have to go to the front.
After listening carefully, Xu Yuan looked sideways at his elder brother who was walking with him on the way to Jiange, and chuckled:
"In short, the second prince and the third prince will be sent to Mr. Zong, and I will follow Wu Yuan's Yulin Army, right?"
Xu Changge's face was stern, but the look in Danfeng's eyes looked worried:
"Well, this matter is the price Li Yaoxuan offered to his father."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the blue sky, and uttered two words:
"I go."
Xu Changge frowned and whispered:
"My father is still discussing this matter with Li Yaoxuan. You don't have to worry about it for now. Maybe the prince and I will go to the front line in the end."
Because of the war in the north, both he and the prince had sent envoys to the Northern Barbarian Royal Court to discuss matters such as a truce.
In other words, as long as the person has not left Beijing, there is no need to discuss replacing someone to go to the north.
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"Xu Changge, if you go to the north, the sect will definitely let you die there if there is a chance."
Xu Changge glanced at Xu Yuan and smiled with an unknown meaning on his thin lips:
"The sect has always wanted me dead, but no one has dared to do it."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, a little helpless at this elder brother's confidence, and said:
"Xu Changge, although your cultivation level is high, both sides in the north have lost millions of troops and the situation is in chaos. You are the only heir to our Prime Minister's Palace, and you are also in charge of the battle. If they can, they will do it at any cost.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan spread his hands like a bachelor:
"But I'm different. I'm just a playboy. The sect will not take the risk of completely angering my father to kill me."
Xu Changge glanced at him coldly:
"Nonsense! If you go to the northern border with your cultivation, you will die if you don't pay attention."
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, but after sighing, he said slowly:
"The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.
"Those princes can go, why can't I go?"
The words fell, and there was silence.
After walking far away, Xu Changge said quietly:
"I promised my mother before she died that I would protect you."
Xu Yuan looked back at Xu Changge and smiled:
"Brother, please show me your favors and shoulder your responsibilities. I can't let my father always embarrass me."
"What's more, if I want to take charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I still lack a lot of things. Blind protection can only make me an armchair person. Although this trip to the north is risky, it is indispensable."
After saying that, Xu Yuan's eyes were sharp and he would not give in:
"In ten days, I will go to the north with Wu Yuan."
Within the sword pavilion,
Feng Jiuxuan looked at the two nephews at the door of the dojo from a distance, sighed quietly, and turned to leave.
Nine days later, at night, Tianyun Palace.
The patrons who came here were bustling and noisy, and the clothes of the cowards in all kinds of clothes were fluttering.
Due to the last encounter, the gathering of the Fourth Young Masters of Beijing was still in the lobby of the lobby.
Xu Yuan and Li Junwu arrived first.
Neither of them works, so they have the most leisure time.
Both Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzang already have official status. Although their families have backgrounds, they must at least respect the skin they wear.
But in the end, the two men from the Third Tour of Liquor Country still hadn’t arrived.
Order a drink and listen to music.
The young lady has long sleeves and is good at dancing. She is dressed in a plain black palace dress. The low-cut dress is gently swaying, and the black silk stockings worn underneath are faintly revealed when her legs are lifted slightly.
Looking at the waiter's attire, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Li Junwu sitting next to him:
"I heard that this newly opened Goulan restaurant is filled with female disciples from the Rebellion Sect?"
Li Junwu stared at the young lady dancing in the empty space, crossed his legs, and replied casually:
"Yes, it's new. Changtian, aren't you already engaged to Wu Yuan? Why did you suddenly ask us to come out to get together?"
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this:
"Is there any conflict between me getting engaged and coming to Goulan?"
Li Junwu looked back, his eyes a little strange:
"Aren't you afraid that the female murderer will chop you up?"
"Female Killer Goddess?" Xu Yuan felt that Li Junwu's description of Li Qingyan was a bit funny: "Are you referring to Wu Yuan?"
Li Junwu curled his lips:
"Otherwise, my father said before that there are more than a million souls who died at the hands of this woman. Can such a woman allow you to come and hook her?"
Xu Yuan sighed:
"Don't spread rumors. Although what she said is true, I feel that although she is a bit domineering, she is still a pretty good person overall."
"Not bad?" Li Junwu raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "We only got along a few times, and he started to speak for her."
Xu Yuan spread his hands and smiled:
"Well, she is the fiancée after all."
"Is it beautiful?" Li Junwu suddenly asked with interest.
Xu Yuan looked at her eyes and asked with a smile:
"What, you are sexually interested in others?"
Li Junwu took a sip of the wine in his glass and shook his head:
"I don't like that kind of woman, sleeping next to her, maybe her head will fall off one day, I just asked.
"But judging from your attitude towards others, you should be quite beautiful."
Xu Yuan recalled it briefly and said with a smile:
"She should be prettier than you."
After a pause, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Junwu's chest:
"But I don't know if she wears a corset like you."
Li Junwu's eyes were amused, he glanced down, shook his head and said:
"This thing is not comfortable to wear. It is very stuffy. I only wear it when I go out to play."
"Don't share your experience, I won't be able to use it." Xu Yuan complained.
Li Junwu rolled his eyes, his face flushed a little because of the wine, he lay on the soft couch behind him, and put a pair of jade legs on Xu Yuan's legs:
"Press it for me. I'm exhausted after practicing all day."
"You really don't see anyone outside." Xu Yuan smiled and did not refuse: "How dare you let me massage your legs."
Li Junwu felt the touch on his legs and chuckled:
"Aren't you quite happy to do this? You are very honest. Tell me, what are you planning to do when you suddenly call us out this time?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and pressed his legs:
"I'm going to the North tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye."
