Emperor's Trophy

Ji Bingyuan held the booklet, as if she was watching her proud child achieve results, her eyes were happy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

"Yes, I remember that many bandits in the north were actually organized by the tribes of the North Wedge to plunder our Central Plains when they were free. It's good to let Ji Xianger practice his skills this time."

"Old Lantou and the others have rich experience. This group of military slaves was originally of excellent quality, and after many days of training, they are already considered good soldiers. After they really saw the blood this time, take the If you are bloody and ruthless, you will be a real good soldier, and after a few more years, you will be a useful general."

"Ji Xianger thought very well. How many people are willing to spend such money on raising soldiers these days? I dare say that even those vassal kings, the generals raised by themselves on the ground, are not willing to do so. 40 Ten thousand taels of silver have been thrown in, this kid is courageous and far-sighted."

"Unfortunately, I'm still a little immature. I'm still not far-sighted enough to see how much money I can make if I just eat black and eat black like this."

Ji Bingyuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "When I return to Beijing this time, let Jixiang'er go to the Xishan Camp. It's a pity that you are here with you and I will protect you." He's gone, he has great ambitions, how can I treat him like a bird."

He was a little emotional: "The child has grown up, let him go to the Xishan Camp, and really bring a soldier out with his own hands."

Gao Xin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded the emperor in a low voice: "The Marquis Zhaoxin is still young, and he doesn't think carefully about things, so he may act a little indiscreetly. Impeachment, private stockpiling of troops, and private use of swords are serious crimes of treason."

Ji Bingyuan took a look at him, and said coldly: "He is not secretive, so you will take care of him."

Gao Xin's scalp was numb, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and kneel down to accept the order, but he heard the always cold and hard-headed emperor aloof, and said in a low voice: "I changed the military system, and the civil and military camps in the Manchu Dynasty are not for the purpose of fighting for power. , just for the sake of profit, only such a sincere child, who really saw what I was worried about, sold his beloved gems, and was really doing something."

"People want to run away from officials for the sake of power and profit. He wants to be on a mission with me, but what he sees is responsibility. Although he is young, he is much smarter than those princes in the high hall."

"The world is governed by all the people in the world, and the world is not ruled by one person. Only the virtuous live in it."

Gao Xin was startled, but he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, so he could only bow his head deeply: "I obey the order."

Guanyu Pavilion, here is an open building made of beautiful Yuguotian blue glazed tiles.

When Yun Zhen entered, Zhu Jiang was kicking shuttlecock with a group of noble boys, only to see the eye-catching shuttlecock made of colorful pheasant feathers flying up and down, Zhu Jiang lifted the corner of the pomegranate robe with one hand, tapped with one leg, hooked, kicked, Turning, belting, the shuttlecock seemed to be stuck to his boots, his movements were neat, his posture was flexible and unrestrained, it was really beautiful, and the noble children watching from the side also cheered from time to time.

On one side, the clan disciples headed by Ji Huaiqing were sitting scattered on one side of the couch, some were playing chess, some were playing Shuanglu, some were throwing pots, and Ji Huaisu was also watching the game there, but he noticed him immediately. Arriving, looking sideways at him, Yun Zhen looked away and looked at the busiest group in the middle of the hall.

It was a group of people headed by Ji Huaisheng who were grilling all kinds of meat, fish and mushrooms on the barbed wire around the charcoal stove, and the aroma was fragrant.

Seeing Yun Zhen coming in, Ji Huaisheng had already beckoned to him: "Come here, a piece of excellent venison has just been roasted, and you will grow old later."

Yun Zhen took his seat with a smile, and Qing Song brought in a basket of red bayberries with two servants.

At this time, red bayberry is still a rarity in Beijing, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Zhu Jiang also saw him, threw a shuttlecock and rushed over with a smile: "Didn't you say that you are not feeling well? Why are you here again?" ?” He walked over tall and burly, and immediately squeezed away the seat next to Yunzhen, sat down, and exclaimed: “It’s so fresh, where did it come from?”

Yun Zhen said: "The emperor rewarded it. Hearing that we had a party here, he rewarded it and asked me to bring it over for everyone to eat."

Now everyone was grateful and envious, and a little servant came over and washed the red bayberry, put it on a jade plate, and served it to everyone.

Ji Huaisheng smiled and said to him: "Marquis Zhaoxin lives with the emperor, he really envies us."

Yun Zhen said: "Hehe, ask Zhu Zitong, is he happy? He is staring at you writing big characters and memorizing homework every day."

Ji Huaisheng thought for a while and said calmly: "That's why I live comfortably by myself, hahaha." He took a silver dagger and cut up a piece of venison, put it in a leaf for him to eat, and asked with a smile: "How can the profit of this escort agency be so high?" It's quite big, and it didn't take long before it started to make money, and if it goes on like this, the capital will be recovered soon."

Yun Zhen smiled, and he divided two teams, light and dark, one is a serious bodyguard team, who takes over the work of the caravan and uses bodyguards in the open, and the other is secretly cleaning along the road, eating black and white all the way, earning a lot of money. A lot of money, so their bodyguards have been quite safe all the way, and their fame has gradually spread.

Yun Zhen tasted the venison, it was fragrant and tender, Zhu Jiang said enviously: "It's a pity that I have to go to school every day, otherwise I will go to the escort agency to follow the escort to see the scenery outside."

Ji Huaisheng said with a smile: "It's not easy, Mr. Zhu Wu, let alone walking the darts, it's just an ordinary caravan, traveling in the caravan, eating and sleeping in the open, exposed to the wind and the sun, how can you endure this hardship, nothing else Just to say the same thing, do you know what kind of dry food the merchants eat? They are fried sorghum noodles, and they can be eaten for several months, and the meat can only be eaten with jerky. If you get sick on the road, If it is too late to seek medical treatment, it is often damaged like this.”

When Zhu Jiang heard this, she became very interested: "Master Huaisheng walked through Shang?"

Ji Huaisheng smiled and said, "In my mother's house, every boy who grows up has to go out with the family's caravan. When he is older, he has to take over one or two companies. After a year of business, he will see the profit. If he makes money, he can be a serious head of the family. I was bored when I was a child, and I went out and went to the business with a few uncles a few times. I really suffered, and it’s not a hardship that ordinary people can bear.”

Zhu Jiang: "You are the son of the clan! How can you be willing? Where have you been?"

Ji Huaisheng smiled: "Clan sons, the ruined clan sons are not as pampered as the young masters of small households. I have been doing business since I was 16. I have traveled all over Jingchu, Minyue, and western Sichuan. Yes, even sea ships have been there once."

Zhu Jiang was in awe. Before, she had looked down on Ji Huaisheng, but now she looked at her with admiration. She hurried over to ask about customs and customs in various places.

Ji Huaisheng is also very good at socializing, and he talked hotly with Zhu Jiang in a few words. For a while, the place was full of enthusiasm and beaming.

Yun Zhen just smiled and listened to their gossip. From time to time, he picked up a red bayberry to taste, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest, as if it was the orb in his arms that was causing the trouble.

He lowered his head and reached for the orb in his arms.He just took it out, and saw that the golden-red orb was like a burning charcoal burning to the extreme, igniting a bright red flame, which instantly ignited his robe sleeve and front.

The fire was extremely bright and red, like a golden red lotus blooming suddenly.

Yun Zhen looked down at the strange flame, and at that moment, what he thought in his heart was: You found out that I am a reborn monster, so you want to burn me to death?

However, this scene fell in the eyes of others, but it was Zhao Xinhou who seemed to be frightened and did not avoid it, and his clothes were all on fire.But one person stepped forward quickly, slapped the hot bright red beads in Yunzhen's hand a few times, the beads rolled down, and then hurriedly used his hands to extinguish the flames on his robe while tearing off the front of his robe Kai: "Hurry up and put out the fire!" Yun Zhen turned his head, and suddenly saw that it was Ji Huaisu, and Ji Huaisu's face was anxious: "Take off your clothes!"

Zhu Jiang also reacted immediately, rushed up and didn't care about the heat, hurriedly patted the fire, then pulled the whole clothes aside with force, her voice changed: "Where have you been burned? Hurry up!" Call the imperial doctor! Where is the imperial doctor? Hurry up and call someone!"

I saw the fiery red bead falling gently on the floor without making any sound, and it swayed in the wind a few times before burning away, leaving no spark dust behind.

Yun Zhen stared at the bead burning before his eyes, without saying a word, past and present, all kinds of memories flooded him, he was at a loss, confused and at a loss.There was chaos inside the building, and the imperial doctor rushed over outside, and of course, Ji Bingyuan also arrived.

When he came over, he saw that Yun Zhen was not wearing a shirt, and his white skin on his chest was reddened. His expression seemed mournful and shocked. He just stared at the ground without saying a word, then took off his black robe and stepped forward. Put it on for Yun Zhen, and ordered the imperial doctor to come over immediately to see if there was any burns, then turned to look at Ding Dai: "I don't care, I will be dismissed."

Ding Dai and Gao Xin hurriedly ordered people to dismiss the other clan children, everyone whispered but they all retreated, leaving only Ji Huaisu and Zhu Jiang, both of them were burned by the flames, and the medical girl stayed behind. Apply medicated oil to them.

Ji Bingyuan hugged Yun Zhen to the side of the couch, Qingsong took a silk quilt to cover it, the imperial doctor came over and hurriedly checked the pulse, while a medical girl brought medicated oil for burns, and wiped his arms and skin for him Where the chest was burned by the flames, it was strange that the fire was severe, but only the skin turned red, and there was no blistering, and the wound looked like a burn.But the imperial doctor saw that Yun Zhen had been in a daze, and also prescribed a dose of shock-suppressing medicine, which made people stay up and give it to Yun Zhen.

The sudden fire started for no reason, and died without fruit. Ji Bingyuan hadn't asked the reason yet, but he roughly guessed that it was the Nirvana Pearl that spontaneously ignited for no reason. The beads, like burning coals, burned instantly, and there was no smoke, and the fire started very quickly.

Ji Huaisu and Zhu Jiang only had slight burns on their hands, but they were not serious. When asked, they both said that the flame didn't seem very hot, unlike normal flames.

Ji Bingyuan asked Yun Zhen a few words, although Yun Zhen could answer, but his reaction was a little slow, his eyes were a little dull, so he didn't ask anymore, but ordered someone to give him medicine, and moved to the ear room on the side of his bedroom , set up a quiet room to recuperate.

At night, the three people who were burned by the flames all fell into a febrile coma at the same time.
