Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Although Lou Yu and his party traveled fast, they couldn't compare to the efficiency of the post station.

Before they arrived in the capital, the result of the peace negotiation had already been submitted to the court.

The emperor and courtiers were shocked.

Return Danzhou City unconditionally? !Is Achinade really not a ghost?

Oh no, Archinade has now become a ghost.

There was no need to exchange money and food for the city, so the emperor was naturally happy, so he asked with a smile on his face, "This time the mission has made great achievements. What do you think, how should we reward the heroes?"

The ministers looked at each other.

Du Qian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that eating the king's salary is to share the worries for the king. It is the duty of a courtier to go out to discuss peace and retake the city for Dasheng. The mission can get this honor, but It is because of Your Majesty's kindness."

The rest: "..."

This flattery is a bit disgusting.

People have worked so hard to go to the northern border, and they didn't spend a single cent to get back the city. You just said "duty" and dismissed it?How shameless!

According to this, all the soldiers fighting at the border are just doing their duty?You don't need a reward if you win?

Then who wants to go to war?

Ning Enhou Xie Xin and Du Qian are both loyal to the emperor, so it stands to reason that they should echo him a few words.

But since Xie Ce broke his left arm, Xie Xin has become a little disheartened.

Besides, he knew exactly who Du Qian was targeting.

I thought that Lou Yu's reputation would not be much better even if nothing happened to him when he was sent as an envoy to the north.

In the end, I don't know which gods in the sky helped, or Achinade had a brainstorm to do good deeds before his death, and this mission actually helped Lou Yu become famous all over the world!

No matter who is responsible for the result of this peace negotiation, as long as Lou Yu is in charge, he will take the greatest credit.

But Lou Yu is already Prince Qing's son, so what else can he reward?

Needless to say, rewarding gold, silver and cloth, the difficulty lies in things other than gold and silver.

Probably the Holy Majesty also had a headache because of this.

Because I never thought that things would be so beautiful!

The emperor was about to refute, to show that he would treat meritorious people favorably, when Fan Taifu suddenly came out.

With a pale face and long beard, he respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the mission was able to take back Danzhou City without any expense, which is an indispensable contribution. According to the old minister, Du Shang's words are definitely a dishonor to the meritorious officials." heart of."

Emperor: "Fan Aiqing's words are reasonable, so according to Qing's opinion, how should I reward her?"

Fan Taifu: "How about waiting for the mission to return to Beijing before making a decision?"

The emperor's eyes lit up, he couldn't think of it, but Lou Yu can mention it himself!

Resting overnight in Mianzhou, Lou Yu and his party continued on their way.

Li Shu led people to clear the way in front, Lou Yu was protected in the middle, and Huo Yan was still firmly attached to his side.

Feng Erbi, Song Yan, and Yan Hui are behind the two horses.

The remaining guards are in the rear.

They rode fast for half a day and found an open space to rest.

Feng Erbi was about to deliver water to Lou Yu, but Huo Yan had already delivered it.

He frowned, why was Huo Yan robbing him of his job along the way?

He only knew of Huo Yan's existence when he was plotting on the eve of his return journey.

When he learned that Huo Yan slept on His Royal Highness's bed every night, Feng Erbi was in a daze.

Thinking of the strange hair on His Highness' bed, and thinking of His Highness still covering for him, he felt something was wrong.

But at that time, the matter was urgent, and he didn't have the time to think about it.

However, ever since he left the grassland, Huo Yan has been clinging to His Highness, and even robbed him of his work, taking care of His Highness's daily life.

It's just that I wasn't proficient enough a few days ago, and I didn't do much.

In the past two days, I have gradually figured out His Highness's habits, and took his place unceremoniously, which is really irritating!

Feng Erbi puffed up his face and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to eat roast chicken? I will roast it for you!"

They bought some chickens in Mianzhou. The chickens were slaughtered and cleaned, and they could be roasted directly on the fire.

Huo Yan said immediately: "I'll go bake."

Feng Erbi: "..."

He watched Huo Yan deftly lighting a fire and roasting the chicken, and his heart felt cold.

Feng Erbi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and moved to Lou Yu's side, Qi Qi Ai Ai asked: "Your Highness, do you want to stop being a slave?"

Lou Yu looked at him in surprise: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Your Highness, Commander Huo has taken care of your daily life now, and the slave has become an idler. I feel uneasy in my heart." Feng Erbi pouted.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, his brows and eyes were a little sweet.

"You injured your arm before, so it's not a bad thing to rest more when you have time."

Feng Erbi raised his left arm: "It's all ready!"

"Then be considerate of Commander Huo. Our Commander Huo is full of energy. We need to let him do more work to distract him."

Lou Yu said and looked at Huo Yan who was roasting chicken.

It happened that Huo Yan raised his eyes, and the two of them met each other's eyes, their hearts skipped a beat, and the atmosphere suddenly became lingering.

Feng Erbi said: "But this is the job of a slave. If Commander Huo wants to do something, he can do other things. Why do you want to rob..."

Before he finished speaking, Lou Yu suddenly got up and walked towards Huo Yan who was roasting chicken.

"Your Highness?"

Lou Yu turned around and said with a smile, "I just want to learn how to roast chicken."

Feng Erbi: "..."

What's going on!

Lou Yu sat down next to Huo Yan, using his wide sleeves to cover it, and quietly placed it on his idle hand.

Huo Yan immediately shook back, the corners of his lips curled up.

"You have good ears, you should have heard everything Erbi said."

Lou Yu approached him with a smile on his face.

"Yeah." Huo Yan turned his face, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

The distance between the two is not more than a millimeter, and their breaths are intertwined.

The picture of last night flashed through Lou Yu's mind. Lou Yu coughed lightly, pulled his hand out of his palm, got up and told Feng Erbi: "Erbi, you come to bake, I have something to do over there, Huo Yan will come with me."

Feng Erbi smiled happily, and hurried over to take over.

There is a haystack not far away, which can roughly cover the figure of a person.

Lou Yu led Huo Yan around behind the haystack, blocking everyone's sight.

He pushed the man against the haystack, took a step closer, raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, when you get back to Gyeongju, you've been in the military camp all day, and you don't have time to grab second jobs."

Huo Yan didn't say a word of nonsense, just put his arms around his waist and back, bowed his head and kissed him.

With last night's warm-up, the two played well this time.

They are no longer limited to just scratching the surface, but started chasing each other and conquering cities.

In the midwinter field, the wind is cold, but the hearts of the two are hot.

Behind the small haystacks, they unselfishly released their inner agitation.

Li Shu was in charge of the guards. Seeing that Lou Yu and Huo Yan hadn't come back, he couldn't help but wondered, "Why haven't Your Highness and Commander come back yet?"

Feng Erbi was also puzzled: "Yes, the meat is almost cooked, and His Highness hasn't come back yet."

Li Shu frowned: "I'll take someone to look for it."

He immediately called several guards.

Behind the haystack, Huo Yan heard footsteps, had to let go of Lou Yu, and said with a low smile: "There are some things that Mr. Feng can do, but there are some things that only I can do."

As he spoke, he pecked Lou Yu's lips again.

The footsteps were getting closer, and Lou Yu heard them too.

He pushed Huo Yan away, straightened his crumpled clothes, and walked out.

It happened to collide with the plum tree.

"Your Highness, you are here!" Li Shu said pleasantly, "Where is the leader?"

Huo Yan then appeared and said solemnly: "There are outsiders in the team, and His Highness and I will discuss matters here."

The outsider refers to Yan Hui.

Li Shu understood, and said with a simple smile, "That's because the subordinates are bothering you."

"It's okay," Lou Yu waved his hand, "We're done talking."

Back at the grill, the chicken is cooked.

Feng Erbi picked the meat for Lou Yu, and was about to hand it over, but saw that Huo Yan had already delivered the meat to Lou Yu.

"..."

He looked at the meat picked by Huo Yan, and then at the meat picked by himself. No matter in terms of appearance or size, they seemed to be better than his own.

Feng Erbi looked at Lou Yu eating meat desolately, and realized that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, do you have any discomfort?"

Lou Yu shook his head: "No."

"Are you angry?" He stared at Lou Yu's lips, "The mouth is a little red and swollen."

Lou Yu: "..."

He lowered his head and coughed softly: "No, you read it wrong, the meat is getting cold, eat yours."

"Oh."

After eating and drinking, we started our journey again.

In mid-December, the group finally arrived in the capital.

Because Huo Yan was not in the team before and his identity was sensitive, they could not enter Beijing together.

A group of people stopped outside the storm pavilion.

Lou Yu said to Huo Yan: "We still have to stay in the capital for a few more days, you go to the Zhuangzi outside the city and wait for me."

Huo Yan was reluctant and worried: "Okay."

"You can also meet the two generals and their wives."

"Okay." He responded with deep handsome eyes, "Your Highness must take care."

Huo Yan naturally prefers to accompany Lou Yu to Beijing, he wants to protect Lou Yu firmly.

But he can do nothing but say "yes".

Lou Yu smiled and praised him: "You're so good."

Afterwards, Huo Yan went to the villa, while Lou Yu entered the capital with Yan Hui and a group of guards.

The forces of all parties got the news almost at the same time, and they were all surprised.

Du Qian: "What? Only Lou Yu and Yan Hui are back? What about the other envoys? And the imperial guards?"

Xie Xin: "Du Zhi is gone? Not even a guard?"

The emperor: "Why did the envoy and deputy envoy come back? What about the others? What's going on? Let Lou Yu and Yan Hui come to see me!"

As soon as Lou Yu and Yan Hui returned to the capital, they were called into the palace by the emperor before they could catch their breath.

The rest of the ministers are also there.

The emperor comforted hypocritically: "A Yu and Yan Aiqing went to the northern border and went through a lot of hardships. It was really hard work."

Yan Hui said righteously: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is the duty of a humble minister to go to the northern border to negotiate a peace and recover my Dasheng land."

Lou Yu cried out: "Your Majesty, I have never been to such a far, cold, and bitter place in my life! You must never let me go in the future, they are all a bunch of barbarians, how can they compare with our Dasheng Minkangwu?" Fu, Songmao Bamboo? You don't know, the wind in the North Man is like a knife, and it hurts!"

Not only complained about suffering, but also praised the emperor.

After all, to say that Dasheng is good is to say that he is a good emperor.

The emperor was in a happy mood when he heard the words, and he couldn't help laughing: "I know you have worked hard this time, don't worry, I will not miss the reward for you, just tell me if you want anything."

"Really?" Lou Yu's eyes lit up.

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Really, if you want anything, you can say it now."

Lou Yu pretended to cast down his eyes in thought.

Everyone was waiting for his answer.

What kind of reward will Prince Qing ask for?

After waiting for a long time, Lou Yu didn't move.

He thought for so long that even the emperor lost his patience.

A minister was good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw the emperor's complexion darkened, he said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness has any thoughts?"

Lou Yu finally came back to his senses, looked up in distress and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing me?"

The emperor froze for a moment: "Is it difficult for you?"

"Yes."

Lou Yu said sincerely, "Your Majesty, you are so kind and loving. I live a very contented life. I don't seem to have any special needs. My father, mother, concubine and elder sister are very grateful for your majesty's kindness. You said you would give me a reward." I really can't think of anything suitable for a while. But if I don't say anything, it will disobey His Majesty's kindness. I am really in a dilemma."

All the ministers: "..."

Really good at flattering!

However, is the topic off track?

Didn't they come to ask about the whereabouts of the rest of the mission?

Emperor Longyan said happily: "But A Yu has made great achievements this time, so he must be rewarded!"

Lou Yu's eyes were filled with reverence and gratitude: "Your Majesty has been so kind to me!"

He is no longer polite.

"Your Majesty, I don't have anything in particular I want, but I want to ask for some rewards for my parents and sister."

The emperor laughed and said boldly, "Tell me about it."

"Father prefers calligraphy and painting."

"Then I will reward you with an authentic painting of the former pilgrimage sage."

"Mother Concubine and Elder Sister both love beautiful clothes and jewelry."

"Enjoy five pieces of cloud and mist silk, and ten sets of pearl heads."

Yunwuxiao is a very expensive fabric in Dasheng, basically it is a tribute, and only high-ranking nobles in the palace can wear it.

Lou Yu beamed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"That's all?" asked the emperor.

Others also feel a little less.

Lou Yu then praised again: "Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, and I am really touched! After thinking about it, I do have a request, but I am ashamed and dare not say it."

"A Yu might as well speak up if you have something to say." The emperor said kindly.

The more you lack something, the more you want to get something from others.

The emperor knew that he was not doing well enough, but he just liked to hear others praise him.

Besides, being able to regain Danzhou unconditionally this time is indeed a high-spirited feeling, and he is already in a good mood.

When you are in a good mood, you can talk naturally.

Lou Yu sighed: "Your Majesty's grace is great, and the world is blessed. This imperial city is prosperous because of you. Every time I come to the capital, I feel ashamed."

"How to say?"

"The people in the capital live well because of His Majesty's good governance, but the people of Gyeongju are too far away from His Majesty. They don't have the blessing to be able to bathe in His Majesty's grace. Life is really difficult."

After listening to the emperor, he felt that what he said made sense.

He has long been tired of hearing reports of disasters and disasters from the state capital outside.

The capital is so stable, how can it be so chaotic outside?

It must be that those officials are incompetent and incompetent!

He looked more kindly: "I naturally hope that the people of the whole country can have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment. However, I have limited energy alone, and it is hard for the people of Gyeongju."

Lou Yu took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you are holy and magnanimous, so I have the guts to ask for a favor for the people of Qingzhou."

The emperor smiled and said, "A Yu, but it's okay to say."

"You see, this minister's mission to the northern border has contributed a lot, and he has saved a lot of money and food for the court. I thought, it would be great if His Majesty could exempt the people of Gyeongju from paying taxes for three years."

There was silence in the hall.

The ministers said in their hearts: How dare you say it!

The emperor was silent.

Of course Lou Yu knew that the emperor would not agree easily, so he raised the price from the beginning.

He pretended to be ashamed and scratched his head: "I just see that they are living too hard, and I have nothing to do, so I can only think of this way. If it doesn't work for three years, it will be fine for two years, or one year! If your majesty can show you kindness, I will help you." I believe that the people of Gyeongju will remember His Majesty's kindness and compete to build a golden body for His Majesty! Your Majesty's benevolence will last forever!"

Even if the emperor didn't take the initiative to inquire, he still knew how the people outside would scold him.

Of course he doesn't think he's wrong.

There are so many fools in the world, how can they understand his thoughts?

but--

Who doesn't want to be admired by the people?

Anyway, Gyeongju is mountainous, poor and remote. It is estimated that the annual tax is not much, and it will have no effect if it is exempted.

If you can get the admiration and love of the people after a few years of tax exemption, it doesn't seem like a loss.

Just as the emperor was about to agree, Du Qian suddenly came out.

"Your Majesty, taxation is the foundation of the country, how can it be easily reduced or exempted?"

He is the Minister of the Household Department, and he does have a say in this matter.

Lou Yu lowered his head desolately: "Let's forget it. Your Majesty, you never said that when you were a minister."

Du Qian: "..."

Always felt like a punch in the cotton.

Yan Hui has been watching from the sidelines, and can't help but sigh secretly.

If he hadn't known Yu Shizi's real face, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

Du Shangshu, Du Shangshu, your son is gone, why are you still competing with Yu Shizi here?

Of course, the news of Du Zhi's death has not come back, and poor Du Shangshu still doesn't know about it.

The emperor had already been flattered by Lou Yu, and felt that the tax of a small Qingzhou was nothing, probably not enough to support a big household in the capital for a year, right?

The more you lack, the more you want.

The emperor wanted a golden body and higher prestige.

Sui said: "Du Aiqing, if the people of Gyeongju can live a better life, what can the court do if they don't collect taxes for three years?"

"But once Gyeongju is tax-free, the rest of the state..."

"After all, the eldest son of Qingzhou has made great achievements, so it is only natural for me to reward the people of Qingzhou."

As soon as this sentence came out, all the ministers understood.

The emperor was determined to exempt Gyeongju from taxes for three years.

But fortunately, Yu Shizi didn't open his mouth like a lion, and it's only been three years.

However, who can guarantee what Dasheng will look like in three years?

Lou Yu was overjoyed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Seeing that Lou Yu took advantage, Du Qian was very unwilling.

He once asked Du Zhi to find a chance to avenge San Lang, but in the end Lou Yu came back alive and kicking.

How did Dalang do things? !

He frowned and questioned: "Dare to ask Shizi and Yan Shilang, why are you the only two who returned to the capital? What about the rest of the mission?"

Yan Hui said: "Report to Your Majesty, I am about to report this matter to you."

Emperor: "Then Yan Aiqing will explain in detail for me and the ministers."

He didn't really care much about the life and death of the other envoys, he was just curious.

Yan Hui talked about the civil strife in the royal court, the missions fled the royal court in the chaos, the new king let them go, and took them back to Danzhou in a dangerous situation.

Of course, these words were discussed with Lou Yu before.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness and Weichen are worried that Penu's return to attack the city will plunge Danzhou into war again, and it will be difficult to leave the city at that time, so they decided to return to Beijing immediately. The other envoys and more than [-] imperial guards are still behind."

"I see." The emperor expressed his understanding.

It is time to come back and report to yourself first.

Du Qian asked, "More than two hundred imperial guards? Isn't it three hundred?"

"Oh," Yan Hui sighed, "Du Shangshu didn't know something. When the mission went to the royal court of Agutu, they encountered wolves on the road, and the imperial guards were somewhat damaged."

Wolves, yes.

The emperor comforted him: "You are all shocked. When the rest of the envoys return to Beijing, I will hold a banquet to celebrate their achievements, and there will be no shortage of rewards."

Yan Hui naturally thanked him, but he didn't finish his sentence.

"However, Vice Commander Du was unfortunately killed by Achinade during the civil strife in the royal court. Right now, his body is being escorted back to Beijing by fifty guards."

"..."

The hall was eerily silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at Du Qian, including the emperor.

Du Qian almost fell to the ground.

His face was pale, and he couldn't believe it: "You said... what?"

Yan Hui showed regret: "Master Du, please forgive me."

The rest of the ministers looked at Du Qian with sympathy.

Du Qian was so cold that he lost all reason, and he approached Lou Yu: "Did you hurt Da Lang?!"

Lou Yu's eyes widened in surprise, filled with bewilderment and grievance of being wronged.

"Lord Du, the next official made it very clear that it was Achinade who killed the son."

From Yan Hui's point of view, Lou Yu did not take the initiative to hurt Du Zhi.

Du Zhi stepped into Abalu's game by himself, no wonder others.

Of course, if Du Zhi could be more polite and kind to Yu Shizi like himself, he would be able to get advice from Yu Shizi, so he wouldn't have to go to hell.

Everything in the world has a cause and effect, Du Zhi can only admit that he is unlucky.

"Achinade is dead now, of course you can blame him!"

Du Qian didn't believe what Yan Hui said at all.

Yan Hui frowned: "Master Du, I understand the pain of your bereavement, but this incident is completely accidental! No one would have expected the sudden civil turmoil in the royal court. We managed to escape by taking advantage of the chaos. If the new king hadn't let us go Ma, we won’t be able to come back! After the civil strife, the imperial guards entered the royal court to look for Deputy Commander Du, but found his body in the royal tent.”

"To die in the king's account is to be killed by Achinade?" Du Qian's eyes were red with anger.

Yan Hui frowned: "The king's tent has surviving attendants, so I naturally asked them from them."

He told about Duzhi being deceived by Abalu to go to the top of the king's tent, Archinade's plan to surround them, and Abalu using Duzhi to block the sword.

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

It turns out that the barbarians are also so thoughtful.

It's a pity that the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman wins. Neither Achinade nor Abalu expected the appearance of Utimu.

Now, Wutimu became the new king of the northern border, Abalu led his troops to flee to Mobei, and Abutu disappeared.

After this time, the barbarians in the north should have no time to go south for the time being, and the Dasheng border is guaranteed!

As for Du Zhi's death, everyone had no other thoughts other than feeling sorry for it.

In order to prevent Du Qian from continuing to go crazy, the emperor had no choice but to appease him. He bestowed Du Zhi with the posthumous title of "Zhongyi" and gave the Du family some rewards.

Du Qian can only be grateful to Dade.

Another official came out and said: "Your Majesty, Du Shangshu lost his eldest son, can you allow his youngest son to return home so that Du Shangshu can be comforted?"

The emperor was taken aback: "Who is Du Qing's youngest son?"

He has completely forgotten about "Du Sanlang entering Ziyun to watch and listen to scriptures".

The manager reminded me in a low voice.

The emperor suddenly realized, and replied: "Du Jiasanlang has listened to Taoism for a long time, and he must no longer be crazy, so let him go home."

Du Qian thanked him again, lying on the ground and crying.

Du Zhi's death is a foregone conclusion. After Du Qian's grief, he has regained his composure.

He was not reconciled.

Why did Lou Yu, Yan Hui, and so many members of the mission not have any accidents, but his Dalang alone?

There must be tricks in it!

A meeting had been going on for so long, and the emperor was tired, so he declared it over.

When Lou Yu walked out of the palace gate, Li Shu and other guards immediately came up to him.

He was about to speak when he suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.

Lou Yu turned around and met Du Qian's cold eyes.

He cupped his hands and said sympathetically, "Du Shangshu, please forgive me."

Du Qian's eyes were red, he stared at him for a moment, snorted coldly, and staggered into Du's carriage.

"Your Highness, who is this person? Why is he so vicious?" Li Shu asked.

Lou Yu said lightly, "It's just a poor man."

The emperor wanted to hold a celebration banquet for the mission, and he had to wait until all the members of the mission arrived in the capital.

Lou Yu lives in the hotel these days.

Probably the imperial court really ran out of money, and the accommodation conditions in the hotel this time were much worse than last time.

The quilt is thin and hard, the food is cold and stale, and the daily supply of charcoal is pitifully small.

How can people live here!

The problem is that no money has been issued from above, and the hotel cannot provide money to improve the accommodation conditions.

The owner of the hotel looked indifferent and disdainful, anyway, he couldn't live with love.

Feng Erbi came back angrily and told Lou Yu.

Lou Yu said: "The expenses of the hotel are all allocated by the Ministry of Accounts according to the rules. Du Qian is the secretary of the Ministry of Accounts. Do you think the hotel will have the money to buy equipment during the period of my stay?"

"He's avenging himself!" Song Yan clenched his fists.

Lou Yu shook his head and laughed.

If it was normal, with Du Qian's personality, he would not be so obvious.

This time, he was probably really stunned by anger and resorted to such a clumsy trick.

Whether this matter is big or small depends on how it is handled.

"Erbi, go to the biggest store in the capital to buy winter quilts for me, and you must buy the cheapest one. Ah Yan, go to the largest charcoal store in the city to buy charcoal, and you must also buy the cheapest one."

Both of them could be regarded as smart, and they knew the elegant meaning when they heard the string song, so they hurriedly went out with a smile.

Of course, as soon as they left the embassy, ​​the two of them withdrew their smiles and became sad.

The largest store in the capital is naturally full of customers, and most of them come from wealthy families.

Feng Erbi has a handsome appearance and a good temperament, and the clothes he is wearing are not affordable by ordinary people. The clerk in the shop immediately greeted him and asked with a smile: "What do you need?"

He looked sad: "I'm here to buy a winter quilt for my Highness."

Dude, listen, Your Highness? !

This is a distinguished guest!

So she hurriedly led him to the luxury area, and introduced him to various top-grade quilts without end.

Feng Erbi pointed: "How much is this?"

The buddy stretched out his hand and counted.

Feng Erbi said vaguely, "Is there any cheaper one?"

The clerk couldn't help but glance at him, can His Highness Tangtang afford it?

He murmured in his heart, still smiling brightly, and introduced a slightly cheaper winter quilt.

Feng Erbi lowered his head and coughed lightly: "Is there any cheaper one?"

The man was helpless and asked, "May I ask you, how much winter quilt can you accept?"

Feng Erbi's face was reddish, and he made a gesture quietly.

Dude: "..."

He smiled slightly: "I said, this customer, you are not here to tease the villain, are you? We don't have such cheap goods in our store, please choose another one."

Feng Erbi's eyes widened: "What do you mean?!"

"It's nothing interesting. The store doesn't have what you want." The clerk replied politely.

Feng Erbi's face flushed, and he became angry from embarrassment: "It's just that my highness didn't bring any money with me when I went out this time! It's not that I really can't afford it!"

Clerk: "May I ask which Highness it is? If you don't have enough silver taels, the shop can deliver the goods to your house, and you can pay the bill when the time comes."

The sound of the two arguing attracted the attention of others.

The common people like to watch the excitement, especially the entertainment of the nobles.

They all heard the word "His Royal Highness".

Feng Erbi faltered and refused to speak.

Some good-natured people in the crowd sneered: "Isn't it deliberately pretending to be a rich man to deceive people?"

Feng Erbi's eyes were slightly red: "That's not it!"

The shopkeeper personally handles the dispute.

He smiled gently and asked: "May I ask where is your guest's mansion? The small shop can deliver it to your door in person."

Feng Erbi murmured: "There is no mansion."

The crowd was uproarious.

Which Highness can not have a mansion, and can't even afford a winter quilt?

This man must be a liar!

The shopkeeper was tactful, still smiling and said: "Then there is nothing to do with that small shop, please go to other shops."

"However, your family's quilts are of the best quality in the capital, and my Highness has a distinguished status, so naturally you must use top-grade quilts." Feng Erbi argued hard.

He praised the store, and the shopkeeper felt happy, but he didn't feel so disgusted anymore.

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "No matter how noble your status is, what's the use if you don't have money to buy it? You can't steal things from others, right?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Young man, I think you should change to another one. It's so pitiful."

"Besides this one, there are a few other ones that are of good quality, and your Highness probably can get used to it."

The crowd echoed into Feng Erbi's ears.

Feng Erbi was just acting, but for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely wronged.

Tears fell down suddenly, no matter how much I wiped them off, I couldn't finish them.

Seeing this, the onlookers were stunned.

Didn't you just make a suggestion?I didn't say anything serious, why did I start crying?

The guy was still young and hadn't experienced much. When he saw someone crying, he felt a little soft-hearted, and quickly comforted him: "Don't cry, we are not bullying you, but we really can't sell it at that price!"

The shopkeeper said earnestly: "Young man, crying can't solve the problem. If you really have difficulties, you might as well speak up, and the big guy will think of a solution for you."

"Yes, yes, it's so embarrassing to cry when you're such an adult?"

"If you have any difficulties, just tell us and see if we can help you."

The common people are still quite enthusiastic.

Feng Erbi wiped away his tears, and said with red eyes: "My Highness was sent to the northern border before, and it is inconvenient to take so much silver with me, so we don't have any money with us."

Going to the north?

No one in the capital does not know about such a big event.

Isn't it His Royal Highness Prince Qing who is going to the northern border?

I heard that His Royal Highness took back Danzhou City directly from King Gutu without spending any money or food!

This is a great contribution, and everyone in the world praises it.

It's a long way to go to the north as an envoy, so it's true that you can't bring much money.

but--

"Doesn't His Royal Highness live in the hotel? Why come out to buy quilts by yourself?"

Feng Erbi's tears fell again.

"The quilts in the hotel are thin and hard, not even as good as spring quilts, and they don't even provide us with charcoal. Your Highness is shivering from the cold, so you have no choice but to let me out to buy quilts. Your Highness asked me to buy cheap ones. But I feel sorry for Your Highness. Your Highness had such a hard life on the grasslands, why do you have to live so hard when you arrive in the capital? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,,of-of-the-charging, it is, it’s so hard for your highness.”

This is completely from the heart of his thoughts, and he said it so sincerely that it made the hearts of the audience uncontrollably sour.

Yes, it is too chilling to come back without even a warm quilt after making such a great contribution!

Feng Erbi continued to cry: "Not only is there no quilt, but the charcoal from the hotel is also very little, not enough to burn in an hour, woo woo woo, how can His Highness survive?"

"Have you asked the head of the hotel?"

"I've asked," Feng Erbi replied with a nasal voice, "The boss said that the higher-ups don't allocate funds, and they don't have money to buy things, so the meals provided by the hotel are cold and stale."

"This is too much!"

Feng Erbi took the opportunity to continue selling miserably: "Your Highness could not eat well and sleep well in the grassland, but I didn't expect that the grassland would not be as good after returning to the capital. I feel sorry for Your Highness!"

"Isn't this chilling the heroes?"

"Can't the higher up even allocate such a small amount of money?"

"Isn't it intentional not to allocate money?"

"Why? Didn't His Royal Highness do meritorious service? He saved so much money and food for our court, but couldn't even take care of our daily life? This is too much!"

"Oh my god, how does the hotel work!"

"It's not the problem of the hotel, what the little brother said just now is that the upper management doesn't allocate money."

"Is it the responsibility of the household department to allocate funds to the hotel? Is the household department full of food? Is it so harsh to the meritorious officials?"

The criticism from the surrounding people became more and more intense.

The common people have steelyards in their hearts. A person who has made great contributions to Dasheng should not be treated so harshly!

Suddenly someone said: "Shopkeeper, I am willing to pay for the winter quilt for His Royal Highness!"

"I would too!"

"I come!"

Feng Erbi looked at them with red eyes, his heart was full of emotion.

He bowed deeply to the crowd and said: "Your Highness said that as a citizen of Dasheng, he should take back the city for Dasheng, and you don't have to..."

"Little brother, stop talking! Shopkeeper, quickly send a few of the best winter quilts to the hotel, and charge them to my account!"

"No! Charge it to my account!"

"Remember me!"

Everyone is full of enthusiasm, only to provide the best treatment for the heroes.

"Didn't the little brother just say that the hotel doesn't even have charcoal and decent food? In my opinion, everyone should distribute it. Those who send quilts get quilts, those who send charcoal get charcoal, and those who send food get food. Don't fight. "

"That's good! Let's do it!"

The enthusiasm of everyone is high, and it seems that it is a great honor to participate in this "send warmth" activity.

Even Feng Erbi was squeezed out, and he couldn't get in any words.

It took a lot of effort for the shopkeeper and the waiters to suppress the commotion of the crowd.

The shopkeeper faced everyone and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness is the hero of our Dasheng, but right now he doesn't even have a warm winter quilt, a pot of charcoal, and a decent meal. I feel really sad when I hear that. In this way, everyone, don’t rob me, the shop will take care of His Royal Highness’s winter quilts! Please fulfill the wish of the shop!”

"Okay! The shopkeeper is so courageous!"

"The shopkeeper is so considerate!"

"There are not many shopkeepers like you who care about the world!"

"In this case, let's send some charcoal and food!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

So, on this day, another spectacle appeared in the capital.

Two groups of people walked towards the hotel from different directions.

Just bumped into it outside the hotel.

One is the shopkeeper of cloth village, and the other is the shopkeeper of charcoal shop.

The two said in unison: "Why are you here?"

Looking at the large group of people behind them either holding winter quilts, or carrying charcoal bags, or holding food boxes, after being stunned for a while, they couldn't help but smiled.

The gatekeeper of the hotel was dumbfounded.

What's the situation?

"We are all giving gifts to His Highness, please be more flexible, let us go in, we promise not to cause trouble, put down our things and leave!"

The gatekeeper hurriedly reported to the master.

The master took a sip of tea and sprayed the gatekeeper all over his face.

He jumped up and screamed, "What's going on!"

The gatekeeper hasn't figured it out yet, so how can he explain it clearly?

The person in charge had no choice but to come outside the pavilion in person. Seeing so many people holding things, he felt almost out of breath.

"My lord, we are here to deliver something to His Royal Highness, can you let us put the things in?"

The chief frowned: "Do you know where the hotel is? How can you enter as you want! It's all gone!"

"If we break up, what will your Highness do?"

"What should I do? We have some food and some sleep in the hotel, do you need to deliver it?" The host looked displeased.

Those who can live in the capital are more or less wealthy, but they are not very afraid of the owner of a hotel, and the two sides started a fierce quarrel.

Just when the quarrel was raging, someone shouted: "Your Highness is coming! Your Highness is here!"
