Yerunan was awakened by the tangy aroma emanating from the mutton pot. He felt a mouth-watering smell lingering on the tip of his nose, slowly waking him up from his drowsiness. However, before he even opened his eyes, his unsatisfactory stomach was already growling. Relying on instinct, he slowly sat up, searched for the source of the alluring aroma, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt so comfortable all over his body.
"Ha, look at this, I'm really hungry!"
"Hey, it's a shame that my painting skills are average. Otherwise, I would have painted this scene and laughed at him. This is not a handsome young man. He is clearly a refugee on the run!"
"Come on, when you are very hungry, you are worse than him. You are just like a hungry wolf, gobbling up food."
When Yerunan heard someone laughing and joking in his ear, he frowned involuntarily, sat up straight again, and slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up completely, he saw the people around him looking at him with smiles. His face immediately turned red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hey, you're finally awake!" Xue Ruitian came over to take a look and took the hot handkerchief Mei Lin handed over, "Since you're awake, just wipe your face!"
"I...I..." Yerunan took the hot veil, "I'm so sorry to let everyone see me in this ugly state."
"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? We have a private gathering, so we don't have to do all those silly things. Aren't you tired from being there all day?" Xue Ruitian said with a smile, " Besides, if we pursue this matter, it will still be our dereliction of duty, won’t it?”
"No, no, no!" Yerunan packed himself up and waved his hand towards Xue Ruitian, "In the final analysis, this matter is still my problem. I was careless and came here alone in a hurry, without even a guard. Bring it." He picked up the mutton soup in front of him, stood up and said seriously to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Bai Meng, "I thank you all for your protection and hospitality. No matter in the future, Xia, Whatever happens in Liao, I will never forget the friendship between us."
"Young Master Yelu, you're welcome!" Shen Haolin took the lead and took two sips of the mutton soup. "Xiaotian is right. There is no need to pay attention to those false etiquettes in private gatherings. Everyone, please take a seat!"
"Master Yelu, you just woke up and haven't eaten for several days. Don't eat too much at once. Drink some hot soup first to warm your stomach and let your stomach adapt." Jin Miaomiao added. She added some hot soup to Yerunan's soup bowl, "If it's okay, you guys can eat slowly, I'm going to accompany you..." She winked at Bai Meng with a smirk on her face, "Excuse me, farewell! "
"Master Jin, thank you for your hard work. Master Jin, please walk slowly!" Yerunan took two sips of the soup and looked left and right, "Guo Gong Shen, General Shen, why are these fifteen missing? He saved me, I should thank him properly. If he hadn't gone to pick me up, it would have been really difficult for me to handle so many assassins by myself, and maybe... I would have fallen into this trap."
"This is Jiapingguan City, and we should protect the safety of our distinguished guests." Shen Cha smiled, "If the guests are really wronged on our territory, wouldn't it be a slap in our own faces? ?”
"Cha'er is right, that's the truth." Shen Haolin nodded, "We will definitely give Mr. Yelu an explanation for this matter."
"This matter is quite simple to say the least, but there are many ways to do it." Yerunan drank two bowls of mutton soup in a row, feeling his stomach became warm, and then slowly took the fish out. Eat the mutton in the pot. "I also thought about it before. If it is really the Duan family, with their trouble-making character, they will definitely not be satisfied with just messing around in Jiapingguan City. Linhuang Mansion and Yiqing Mansion can't escape, and they will have a headache. Just us.”
"But Mr. Yelu, if other people have headaches, we can leave them alone for the time being. But if uncle Ling, the current King of Liao, has a headache, it will have a great impact on our plan." Shen Cha came out of the pot. He took out a piece of cooked radish and put it on the plate to dry, "Master Yelu, you have been out for a long enough time. If you don't go back, someone in Linhuang Mansion will make irresponsible remarks."
"General Shen and I have gone together. I want to leave early tomorrow morning. If it's later, I won't be able to catch up with the funeral." Yerunan nodded, "It's just that you have to consider the things I came to discuss with you this time. How's it going? Can you give me an accurate answer today?"
"Merlin, give this to Young Master Yelu." Shen Cha took a roll of paper from under the small table and handed it to Mei Lin. "There is no problem with cooperation. The specific matters are all written on this. Young Master Yelu can take a look first. If there is any If you have any objections, we can still discuss it. If there is something that Mr. Yelu is not sure about, you can go back and have a good discussion with Mr. Lan."
"So thick? You are really thoughtful." Yerunan carefully read the cooperation details written by Shen Cha. After reading it, he sighed softly, "We are indeed the best partners for cooperation. We really have a tacit understanding. , Alan and I have repeatedly discussed most of the above matters before, and the final conclusion is basically the same as yours."
"But what?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of mutton, blew it carefully, and put it into his mouth, "Most of the things are the same, but what are the few? Is it... military power?"
"The Marquis is wise, that's exactly what it is." Yerunan nodded, "My thoughts are the same as everyone else's. Military power must be in our hands. And A Lan..."
"Master Lan is reluctant to part with Linhuang Mansion?" Seeing Yerunan showing a wry smile, Jin Jing waved her hands in disapproval, "If you want to reach the top, you must make a choice. Even if I have never been to Linhuang Mansion, , Think about it and you will know that the power of each family is intertwined, even if Mr. Lan has been in business for many years, he will often feel that he is unable to do what he wants, right?"
"Yes, although the arrangements have been made many years ago, it is not easy to really gain a foothold. It is also because of this that he gave up the family business and started over..." Yerunan Shaking his head, "Such courage is not something ordinary people can have."
Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other and nodded lightly. Yerunan was right. If they were faced with such a choice, they would be very distressed. However, without a bit of perseverance, how can we win the final victory?
"Having said that, Mr. Yelu, you have to know that the more powerful a place is, the easier it is for trouble to arise. You know, I know, and Mr. Lan knows very well what the situation is like for Mr. Lan now. As the regent, he Although some people are paying attention to Prince Wang, most of the attention is focused on who will become the next King of Liao. But it is different now, he has become the focus of everyone's attention. Every day is like walking on the tip of a knife, if there is If you make a mistake in your trip..." Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "It will definitely become the target of public criticism. Even the smallest trivial matter may become a reminder for Mr. Lan. Mr. Yelu, do you think we should start from the center of this chaos? Should I step out and explore another world, or should I continue to stick to it and risk my life before the big thing is accomplished?"
"Master Marquis, Military Advisor, I understand the principle of making a fortune silently, and I also understand the principle of firmly holding military power in one's own hands, but A Lan... has lived in Linhuang Mansion since he was a child, and wants him to You still need to be forced to leave that comfortable place and venture out." Yerunan carefully put away the cooperation matters, "Don't worry, I have already thought about how to persuade him. I believe it won't be long before you guys can We can see him on the battlefield."
