The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 3 Preparations for the End Times

After walking out of Xianfu Palace, Zhao Yanxun chose to walk back instead of stepping on the chariot.

His body is indeed weak, so he has to find a way to improve his physique as soon as possible so that he can survive better in the last days.

As for Concubine Duan's obsession with seizing the heir, Zhao Yanxun basically didn't take it to heart, he wished he could stay as far away from this vortex as possible.

Walking along the way, it is still early morning, and there are not many pedestrians in the palace road.

Apart from meeting a few high-ranking female officials, Zhao Yanxun only met court ladies and eunuchs along the way.

Except for the prince Zhao Yanjun, the princes older than Zhao Yanxun have all gone to the fiefs, so there is no brother to trouble him at this moment.

All the way back to the prince's house without incident, Zhao Yanxun saw two teenagers playing around, but it was tenth Zhao Yanyuan and eleventh Zhao Yansong.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's return, the servants who served the two princes knelt down to salute, and the two princes also bowed their hands.

"I have seen the emperor!"

These two princes and mothers are not strong. After entering the prince's house, Zhao Yanxun took good care of them, so the relationship between the three is good.

"Well... let's keep playing!"

It seemed that he was not very happy to see brother Jiu. Zhao Yanyuan and the two thought that he was recovering from a serious illness and was in a bad mood, so they didn't come forward to joke like before.

In fact, the two of them also heard about the affairs of the court, knowing that Zhao Yanxun is in trouble now, and it is normal to feel depressed.

Besides, Zhao Yanxun, after entering the dormitory, shouted from outside: "Lin Quan, Huo An... come here!"

Among the group of young eunuchs, two immediately came out in response, and quickly knelt down in front of Zhao Yanxun.

These two people hooked their waists, looked humble and bowed their knees, and they were all about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Zhao Yanxun took off the black gauze cap from his head, put it on the high table beside him, and then slowly turned around and sat on the head seat in the main hall.

"Everyone get out!"

In this hall, Zhao Yanxun's words are the imperial decree, so the rest of the eunuchs and maidservants all retreated.

Just when the two little eunuchs on the ground went in without knowing it, Zhao Yanxun asked: "How long have you two been with Gu?"

The two young eunuchs looked at each other, and the smart young eunuch among them replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, this servant has followed His Highness since she was six or seven years old, and it has been almost ten years now!"

Zhao Yanxun knew all these things, and he knew even more that these two were the absolute confidantes of his predecessor, regardless of their superiority and inferiority, the three of them could be regarded as playmates who grew up together.

Searching for the pictures in his memory, Zhao Yanxun expressed his feelings: "It's been ten years, how time flies!"

"Can Gu trust you?"

The clever little eunuch is Lin Quan, and now he guesses that the Ninth Prince has something to do.

So Lin Quan hurriedly said: "This servant is willing to die for His Highness!"

Seeing what Lin Quan said, Huo An, who was a little dull at the side, also bent down and said, "This servant is also willing to die for His Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun carefully examined the two people in front of him, observed the micro expressions of the two people repeatedly, and after confirming that the two people were reliable, he smiled and said: "I have something to tell you to do, but you don't need to work hard!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun pointed in the direction of the desk: "There is a piece of paper under the second book on the desk, on which are written the things you need, you two look for them according to the list!"

Under Zhao Yanxun's signal, Lin Quan got up and walked to the desk beside him, and took out a piece of paper from under the book.

Open it, it is a huge piece of rice paper, densely written on it.

"One thousand catties of bacon, one hundred catties of salt, one hundred catties of charcoal, two thousand catties of rice..."

Zhao Yanxun listed these things that he spent the whole day thinking about yesterday, and they are all things that can be used in the end of the world.

"Your Highness, what do you want these things for?" Lin Quan couldn't help asking.

"It's useful to be alone, you just prepare it!" Zhao Yanxun picked up the teacup and took a sip, the taste was really good.

"Your Highness, the things to eat and use are not bad, but these weapons and armor are under the control of my Jin Dynasty, but the servants are powerless!" Huo An smiled wryly.

They are just two little eunuchs of the prince's office, how can they get weapons, besides, this is a serious crime of beheading.

Zhao Yanxun didn't expect this, and after he thought about it, he put the teacup on the tea table: "Then you all try your best, and you can just use the money if you need it!"

As the son of Concubine Duan, Zhao Yanxun has received many rewards these years, and his family background is not ordinary.

In her previous life, she had a calm temperament, and she didn't like luxury and prosperity in ordinary times, so she saved up all her money, and now she actually has tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hand.

"Your Highness, where do you store the things after you buy them?" Lin Quan asked again.

Zhao Yanxun already had a plan for this, and said, "Just store it in the house on Yongning Lane, buy a few big cars, and be ready to leave at any time!"

"Don't ask too many questions, just do what Gu says, don't say anything about it, and don't say anything about it at Xianfu Palace!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said in a serious tone: "Do you understand?"

In the previous life, he had experienced the power of many leaders at close range. Zhao Yanxun imitated the example at the moment, and really calmed Lin Quan and the two for a while. Who made him still the prince of Dajin!
"The slaves obey!"

After the demonstration, Zhao Yanxun learned to be kind after the demonstration, so a smile appeared on his face again: "You two are my confidantes, and I will never treat you badly!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although they said so on the lips, Lin Quan and the two murmured in their hearts, secretly thinking that after the serious illness of the Ninth Prince, his personality has changed too much.

After Lin Quan and two carefully exited the hall, they followed Zhao Yanxun's wishes and wanted to go out of the palace to do some shopping.

Walking on the palace road, seeing no one in front and behind, Lin Quan couldn't help but said: "Xiao Anzi, Your Highness seems to have changed, don't you think it's strange?"

Huo An just hurried on, and said casually: "How many things are true in this palace? How do you know that His Highness has changed?"

Lin Quan was dumbfounded, and was reminded by Huo An's words.

That's right... Could it be that the Ninth Prince in my eyes before was his real face?There are no simple people in the palace.

But if the Ninth Prince hadn't shown any forbearance for so many years, then the city would be too deep... Lin Quan shuddered at the thought of these things.

"What do you think... Your Highness is buying these things?"

Huo An stopped and said calmly: "We are slaves, just do our jobs well!"

After saying that, Huo An turned and left again, and Lin Quan immediately followed after shaking his head.

Soon, five days passed, and the time came to the third day of February in the 24th year of Tai'an.

Zhao Yanxun was doing push-ups in the main hall in unlined clothes. The door of the main hall was closed, and all the court ladies and eunuchs were driven out by him.

In the past few days, apart from going to the Xianfu Palace to pay his respects every day, and listening to Concubine Duan tell about the court affairs, Zhao Yanxun started exercising as soon as he returned to his bedroom.

He wants to seize every possibility to make himself stronger, and he has never missed a single day of exercising and jogging.

After finishing the fifth set of [-] push-ups, Zhao Yanxun sat back on the chair and took a drink from the teapot beside him.

Slightly closing his eyes to enjoy a moment of rest, Zhao Yanxun involuntarily summoned the system, and the countdown on the panel had changed to "25 days, 12:35:33".

Before Zhao Yanxun could open his mouth to complain, he heard the voice of a court lady outside: "Your Highness, your empress is calling urgently!"

It's already afternoon, what do you call yourself to do at this time?Zhao Yanxun was puzzled.

"Change!"
