Prodigal Goro-kun

Following the prestige, Yan Qiuer saw two strangers coming out of the inner courtyard of the Zuo Family's other courtyard one after the other, with a calm demeanor, as if they were walking in their own house.The people following behind had warm smiles on their faces, gentle and elegant, with a hint of fatigue in their expressions.And the man walking in front was very imposing, his eyes were hard to conceal, and his boldness was not like that of a businessman.There is such a person in the Zuo family?

Yan Qiuer took a glance at Zuo Yishan from the corner of his eye, but saw Zuo Yishan's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear.Fear?If it's my own family, no matter how awed they are, they won't be scared like this, right?But not necessarily, isn't Fusheng afraid of Yansheng?It's just that Zuo Yishan is different from Fusheng.

Fusheng is a woman waiting to be married, her husband's family confirmed that she had no right to speak in Yan's residence before, so she was afraid of offending Yansheng if she lacked confidence, so she was timid like that, in order to be safe.But Zuo Yishan is a gentleman, who has been instructed by the head of the Zuo family to represent the Zuo family in Chang'an City. In order to build momentum for him, the Zuo family will not treat him harshly, so there should be no capable people in the Zuo family. Frighten him to the pale-faced man.

Could it be that this person is not from the Zuo family?An answer suddenly popped up in Yan Qiuer's heart, and this answer made Yan Qiuer break out in a cold sweat.He...couldn't be so unlucky to meet the prince, right?

"I'm asking you, why should I give up on this?" In the instant Yan Qiuer was thinking, the crown prince Chuyu had already walked in front of Yan Qiuer, his tall body cast a shadow, and the 14-year-old Yan Qiuer Covered inside, the low, angry voice shook Yan Qiuer a little uncomfortable.

Yan Qiuer took three steps back, just at a distance where he could see the face of the other party without raising his head, and then said: "This is not going to work, your Excellency must give up. It's just that Zuo Langjun invited other guests. , why didn’t I inform my lord in advance?”

"Five, Mr. Wulang, this is..."

After hearing Yan Qiuer's words, Zuo Yishan was about to introduce Yan Qiuer, but Chu Yu raised his hand to block Zuo Yishan, gave Zuo Yishan a cold look, and said to Yan Qiuer: "I'm not a guest. , can be regarded as half of the Zuo family."

Yan Qiuer suddenly realized, bowed to Chu Yu, and said: "That's my lord's rudeness. I came to visit but didn't greet the master. I hope you will forgive me for my rudeness."

"Huihe and his party, the Zuo family must go. Aning, send the prepared meeting gift to Mr. Wulang."

"Yes." Zuo Ning, who had been silent all this time, took a tray from the attendant and walked towards Yan Qiuer with the tray. Untie it, there are twenty gold ingots under the red cloth, and then said a very philistine line in a gentle voice, "The Zuo family never treats people who are good to the Zuo family badly."

Yan Qiuer raised his eyebrows, picked up a gold ingot from the tray, put it on the palm of his hand, and threw the gold ingot back with a sudden sneer: "Your Excellency, do you look down on me or me? The Yan family? If you want to go back to Hehe so much, you can go by yourself. Why do you have to rely on my Yan family? If you don’t have the ability, why do you do business? If there is nothing else for today’s banquet, I will not accompany you!” Saying that, Yan Qiuer flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Zuo Yishan and Zuo Ning were both surprised to see Yan Qiuer leaving as soon as he said he would.According to the personality of the prince, this young gentleman is more or less ominous than good.

Sure enough, seeing Yan Qiuer leaving as soon as he said it, Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into anger, and shouted violently: "Stop him!"

As soon as the words were finished, five people jumped down from the trees in the yard and the roof, and blocked Yan Qiuer with fierce faces.

Yan Qiuer's footsteps stopped abruptly, looking at the five people in front of him, secretly thinking that something is wrong.

Tang Shuo, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't stay still any longer, and hurriedly jumped down to block Yan Qiuer.

"Oh! I underestimated the gentleman of the Yan family." Tang Shuo who suddenly appeared was really unexpected to Chu Yu, but it also made Chu Yu look at Yan Qiu'er differently. Like the Zuo family, they only know how to use opportunistic tricks, but they didn’t expect to have some brains.”

"His Royal Highness, the crown prince has won the award." He couldn't leave, and Yan Qiuer didn't leave either. Putting away his foolish look, he walked back to where he was sitting with a smile on his face, and sat down calmly.

Tang Shuo's eyes tightened, but he didn't say anything. He walked behind Yan Qiuer and stood up, pulling himself together.

Jin Dou has been confused by the situation in front of him, but he also knows that the situation at this time is not beneficial to Yan Qiuer, so he is also on guard, thinking about how to keep Yan Qiuer safe if something happens later.

Yan Qiuer stated his identity so bluntly, but did not salute him. This disrespectful act made Chu Yu even more angry, but also more curious.

The only businessmen that Chu Yu has ever come into contact with are the Zuo family. In his eyes, the so-called businessmen are as eloquent and humble as the Zuo family. They only try to curry favor with others in order to win money and status for themselves. They are just opportunistic people. .But the businessman surnamed Yan in front of him at the moment seemed to be a little different.

"You know me." Chu Yu strode across to Yan Qiuer, took Zuo Yishan's seat and sat down, and Zuo Yishan stood up side by side with Zuo Ning behind Chuyu, compared with Zuo Yishan. The businessman who patronizes Chu Yu is more like Chu Yu's attendant.

Yan Qiuer chuckled lightly, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tianlan Kingdom is very imposing, and has a close relationship with the Zuo family. Isn't that easy to guess?"

Chu Yu snorted coldly, and said very proudly: "Since you know my identity, it's easy to talk about it. You take the twenty ingots of gold away, and the matter will be settled for me."

Yan Qiuer didn't shake his head immediately, and of course he didn't nod. Instead, he picked up the half plate of peanuts left on the table, turned around and asked Tang Shuo, "Can this be eaten?"

Tang Shuo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.The prince sitting opposite Mr. Wulang is known for his brutality. Mr. Wulang still has the heart to eat peanuts?How much does he like peanuts!If they like peanuts, can they go home to eat them?Can the lord not even afford peanuts?

"If you can eat it, you didn't say it earlier!" Glancing at Tang Shuo, Yan Qiuer threw a peanut into his mouth.He didn't dare to eat this one, and he didn't dare to eat that one, but he was starved to death.

Tang Shuo blinked innocently.Didn't he give a hint?Why are you blaming him again now?

Chu Yu's eyes sank, and his admiration for Yan Qiu'er increased a little after his eyes wandered over a table of untouched food and wine.Because of these compliments, Chu Yu magnanimously ignored Yan Qiuer's rudeness and provocation.

As a king, you must be tolerant, especially for those who intend to make friends or those who have something to ask for, you must be magnanimous and magnanimous.This is what his father has always asked him to keep in mind, and he remembered it.

After chewing a few peanuts to fill his stomach, Yan Qiuer said to Chu Yu again: "Thanks to the crown prince's wrong love, but His Royal Highness also knows that the matter of going north to Huihe is an important matter entrusted by the sage to the Yan family. All the people from top to bottom responded cautiously, and the people who want to form a caravan to go to Huihe are also the elites of my Yan family's caravan, and it is a matter of life and death, and laymen cannot be allowed to hold back."

Chu Yu sneered and said, "Do you think these twenty ingots of gold are missing?" Merchants are after profit, and even a family is plotting and scrambling with each other?Not being tempted can only mean that the bait is not enough.

Yan Qiuer rolled her eyes skyward.Who needs that bit of gold!

"His Royal Highness must not understand what I mean. It is not a question of money. Besides, if His Royal Highness really wants the Zuo family to go this way, instead of wasting time with me, a humble person, it is better to persuade the saint , which caravan to use to go back to He, isn’t it all a matter of a sage’s words?”

Being poked at the sore spot, Chu Yu's eyes sharpened, and he said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't agree, don't even think about or walk out of the gate of this other courtyard! You are a mere lowly businessman, it is your blessing that the crown prince uses you, how can you tolerate that?" You push three blocks four?!"

To beg Father?It's not that he hasn't tried it!If he could understand his father, why would he bother to take this detour?His father always doted on him, but this time, for some reason, he turned his anger on him because of Concubine Xian. No matter how much he begged, his father refused to replace the Yan family with the Zuo family.The Yan family didn't know what tricks they used, not only persuaded the father, but also got the help of the queen mother, if they hadn't come out halfway to block the way of the Zuo family, how could he have fallen into such a situation?Bitch!

Whoops, he's about to kill someone, is this crown prince taking the laws of Tianlan Kingdom for nothing?

Yan Qiuer felt that the prince's threat was really interesting, so he said with a smile: "As for me, everything else is good, but I am blessed, and the kindness of His Highness the prince, I am afraid that this lowly businessman can't afford it! "

"I don't know what's good and what's wrong!" Before the words were finished, Prince Chu Yu stormed up and grabbed Yan Qiuer's neck with his bare hands.

Will it be exhausting to take a long detour?He even stepped on the table and came over. Isn't this a chance for him to overturn the table?So Yan Qiu'er unceremoniously overturned the table, naturally even the crown prince on the table was thrown out together.

His Royal Highness the prince was blown away, Yan Qiuer hurriedly pulled Jindou back to a safe distance, Tang Shuo had already pulled out the saber from his waist, and stared at the five prince guards with a serious expression, who could compare to them? If he dared to rush over, he would kill someone.

"His Royal Highness, you must have thought it through!" Before Chu Yu could get angry, Yan Qiuer threatened, "The Yan family is not the only one who knows that I am coming to the Zuo family's other courtyard today! If something happens to me, what will happen to others? Think? The Zuo family cannot escape the blame, and His Royal Highness may not be able to escape the blame!"

"It's just killing you, a pariah! Who can say that the prince is not good? Who dares!" Chu Yu got up in a panic, cleaned up the food on his body with the help of Zuo Yishan and Zuo Ning, and was furious.

"Ha! Who dares? Who dares! How many veteran officials in the court want to change the crown prince's position? They need an excuse, and I, Yan Qiuer, don't mind making this excuse, and add another piece to the crown prince's cruelty! On the contrary, the crown prince Your Highness, if you lose the position of crown prince for me and other lowly people, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" I hope that His Highness the crown prince is just violent, not stupid.

Obviously, he was irrational when he was furious. As soon as Chu Yu heard Yan Qiuer's words, he immediately thought of the attitude of the important officials in the court towards him in the past two years. Then he rushed over, raised his hand and slashed at Yan Qiuer.

Tang Shuo didn't expect Chu Yu to rush over like an angry beast without even saying a word. Seeing that Chu Yu was merciless in his attack, Tang Shuo had no time to think, and blocked Yan Qiuer in a flash.

Yan Qiuer narrowed his eyes, raised his foot and kicked Tang Shuo's knee fiercely, raised the jade bone fan at the moment when the defenseless Tang Shuo suddenly knelt down, and slapped Chu Yu's hand with all his strength.

With a crisp sound of "snap", the closed jade-bone seven-bone fan hit Chu Yu's wrist, and the strength of the hit actually made Chu Yu stagger.

"Troublesome!" Yan Qiuer stretched out his hand to pull Tang Shuo up, and gave Tang Shuo a sideways glance.

Tang Shuo pursed his lips.As a guard, his duty is to protect the safety of his master, but why are the master and Lord Wulang both of the same virtue?What to do with him at critical times?Is it too much for him to be loyal and responsible?Tang Shuo was a little wronged, but he was also a little bit happy in his heart.

"Dare to offend me! You have given me the best reason to kill you!" Seeing the redness and swelling on his wrist, Chu Yu was going mad with anger, and stabbed Yan Qiuer after grabbing someone's sword.

"The five over there will be handed over to you!" Yan Qiuer pushed Tang Shuo and met Chu Yu's sword.

So what if you commit the following crime?Yan Qiu'er didn't believe that Chu Yu dared to let the emperor know what happened in the Zuo family's other courtyard today. If the emperor really found out that he was playing tricks behind his back, Chu Yu would be the first to suffer!

"Sword..." Tang Shuo stretched out his hand to lend his sword to Yan Qiuer, but Yan Qiuer pushed it back.

"Keep it for yourself!" He didn't buy this jade bone fan for nothing!

With a sound of "clang", the bone of the jade bone fan collided with the blade of the sword. Yan Qiuer held Chu Yu's sword and said loudly: "The crown prince makes mistakes one after another in front of the saint. It's not good to make mistakes again and again. Let alone anger Can the Zuo family afford the consequences of the Yan family? Don’t let the crown prince chill the heart of a sage just because of a momentary advantage!" Naturally, he didn’t say these words to Chu Yu, and Chu Yu couldn’t listen to him in this way.No wonder the civil and military officials of the whole court were disappointed with the crown prince. Seeing Yan Qiu'er today was like a lesson in Chu Yu's arrogance and recklessness.

Zuo Yishan was in a hurry.He originally disagreed with using the Yan family.The prince doesn't know how the Yan family is judged in the business world and how the Yan family's temperament is, doesn't Zuo Ning also know?How could they think that there was a chance of life here?What's more, they have missed a good opportunity to go north to Huihe. It is better to retreat at this time and act rashly at this time. After the crown prince achieves something in political affairs and wins the favor of the saint, it will not be too late to make a long-term plan!What is Zuo Ning thinking?

"Brother Ning! If Wulang of the Yan family died in our other courtyard, how could the Yan family let us go? Even if he was ranked fifth, he would still be the man of the Yan family! How kind and capable is the owner of the Yan family? , Brother Ning, don’t you know?”

Zuo Jing stood quietly, and Zuo Yishan beside him didn't move his eyebrows, he didn't even shake his eyes, he just watched Chu Yu and Yan Qiuer fight intently.

How could he not know that the Patriarch of the Yan family acted resolutely without fear of power?How could he not know that the Yan family is united as one and there has never been a villain?How could he not know that this plan is impossible?But it is difficult to do it, and it is difficult to let Chu Yu do it.

Seeing that Chu Yu's sword left two bloody mouths on Yan Qiuer's body, Zuo Ning suddenly panicked and shouted: "Your Highness, please calm down! Your Highness, you can't kill him!" Ning's people had already arrived at Chu Yu's side, and seeing Yan Qiuer raised his folding fan, they stood in front of Chu Yu without hesitation.

With a "slap", Zuo Ning was hit in the face and fell to the side.

"A-Ning!" Chu Yu was startled, and couldn't care about Yan Qiuer anymore, and hurried to pick up Zuo Ning.

Yan Qiuer was a little dazed, looked at the jade bone fan in his hand, then at Zuo Ning who fell to the ground as if in great pain, and frowned.Did he fail to catch it?It shouldn't be.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, you can't kill him!" Zuo Ning grabbed Chu Yu's sleeves on both sides as soon as he saw Chu Yu squatting down, and tugged hard, "Although the Zuo family is an imperial merchant, their status in the business world is always the same. It's not as good as the Yan family. The Yan family is the veritable No. [-] merchant in Tianlan! Your Highness can only win over the Yan family and not offend them! Ah Ning doesn't care if the Yan family will take revenge on the Zuo family, but you must not let the Yan family bear their grudges Your Majesty!"

"A-Ning, are you alright? Where are you hurt?" Chu Yu, who happened to be very violent just now, only had worry and panic on his face, letting Zuo Ning pull him, looking Zuo Ning up and down, left and right, Zuo Ning He didn't know whether he listened to what he said or not.

"A'Ning is fine." Zuo Ning shook his head.

Yan Qiuer was dumbfounded.Where is this trouble coming from?Is Zuo Ning pleading for mercy for the Yan family, or is he seeking revenge for the Yan family?At first glance, those words seemed to be asking the crown prince to let him off and treat the Yan family well, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that they were not.what happened?

"Mr. Wulang, let's go!" Tang Shuo didn't bother to analyze Zuo Ning's scheming, he only knew that this was the best time for them to leave, especially since Yan Qiuer was still injured, although it was not Serious injuries are also disadvantageous to them. If they are not strong enough to fight, they can only... run away.

"Oh!" Yan Qiuer regained consciousness, looked at Zuo Yishan, then at Zuo Ning, pulled Jindou and ran out of Zuo's other courtyard with Tang Shuo in the chaos.

After getting into the carriage, Yan Qiuer was still thinking about it.Everything happened today seemed to be logical, but Yan Qiuer always felt that something was wrong.

Yan Sheng's character is well-known in the business world for his integrity. How could the Zuo family not know this after all these years in the mall?Even if he has no friendship with Yansheng, he should have heard everything about Yansheng, right?Or did they firmly believe that Yan Sheng would not come in person?But the unity of the Yan family is well known to all merchants. If so, who asked them to bribe the Yan family?And His Royal Highness didn't think about who the Yan family suddenly participated in, did they take refuge in someone?Such a hasty feast and bribe, the prince is not afraid of being caught?

And that Zuo Ning, was the timing of his final choice to persuade the fight a bit subtle?It has been at least half an hour since he fought against Chu Yu, and it took him half an hour to realize that the Zuo family can't mess with the Yan family?What happened to the last paragraph of persuasion full of disobedience?

Unable to understand, Yan Qiuer rubbed his temples wearily.Sure enough, you shouldn't stir up this muddy water, you're in trouble!

"Mr. Wulang, this subordinate will carry you." After the carriage stopped at the gate of Yan Mansion, Tang Shuo jumped off the shaft, and when Yan Qiuer emerged from the carriage, he turned around and squatted down, making a gesture to carry Yan Qiuer on his back. enter the door.

Yan Qiuer twitched the corners of her mouth, and said, "Boss Tang, I hurt my arm, not my leg. Why are you carrying me on your back?" With a laugh, Yan Qiuer avoided Tang Shuo and jumped out of the carriage, thinking about it Thinking about it, he suddenly ordered Jin Dou, "Jin Dou, go in and see if Father is there."

"Ah? Why? My Lord Wulang! You still care about what the Lord is doing at this time! Let's go in quickly! Find a gentleman to show you the wound is the most important thing!" All injured Oh, why is Mr. Wulang still looking calm?His sleeves were all stained red with blood!

"What wound?" The four words were concise and clear, the tone without delay, and the crisp voice. Who is the person who is not Yan Sheng?

Yan Qiuer froze in place, not knowing whether to turn around and greet Yan Sheng with a smiling face.He had a premonition that it would be very troublesome if Yan Sheng found out about these two sword wounds, but at present, it is impossible to hide it from Yan Sheng. Who would let the accompanying person besides Jin Dou be loyal to Yan Sheng? What about Tang Shuo?

Sure enough, just after Yan Qiuer praised Tang Shuo's loyalty in his heart, Tang Shuo answered Yan Sheng's question: "Master Wulang was injured."

Hearing this, Yan Sheng frowned.Isn't Goro just going to a banquet?Why did you hurt yourself?Was it knocked or touched?

"Why did you hurt?" Yan Sheng stared at the back of Yan Qiuer's head, and strode over to Yan Qiuer's side.

"It's a sword wound."

Yan Sheng stopped abruptly, turned his head and stared at Tang Shuo, and asked in a lower voice than usual: "What did you say?"

"Yes...it was a sword wound. I ran into the prince in the other courtyard of the Zuo family." Tang Shuo swallowed, and then immediately knelt down in front of Yan Sheng to apologize, "This subordinate has neglected his duty and failed to protect Mr. Wulang fully. Please, my lord. punishment."

Xiao He stood behind Yan Sheng, not daring to speak out.

For a few breaths, Yan Sheng was silent, his face was still facing Tang Shuo's direction, but his eyes were blank. After these few breaths, Yan Sheng suddenly moved, strode to Yan Qiuer's side, and hugged him horizontally. Yan Qiuer rushed into Yan's mansion, only leaving Tang Shuo and Xiao He with a slightly flustered shout, "Go and invite sir!"

Yansheng never spoke loudly, let alone yelled, Yansheng never ran, let alone ran, but at this time, Yan Qiuer was lucky enough to see Yansheng for the first time.

"Father, I'm fine, I just scratched the skin." Yan Qiuer huddled in Yan Sheng's arms and comforted him in a low voice. Yan Sheng didn't know if he didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, but the speed of his feet didn't slow down.

Yan Qiuer stared at Yan Sheng's tense jaw, and pursed her lips.
