The strongest plug-in to be reborn as a male protagonist

Shanyangling is the junction of Yuanxu State and Donghu State. Yuanxu and Donghu are equal in power.

Until a few decades ago, the previous dynasty was overthrown by a general who held military power, and the foundation of the new dynasty was not stable, so it took the initiative to seek peace with Donghu to end the war.At that time, the tribes around Donghu invaded and were unable to continue the war with Yuanxu. After the peace talks between the two countries, Yuanxu sent troops to help Donghu suppress the invading tribes.

Afterwards, Yuanxu and Donghu were frequent merchants, and many Donghu people in Shanyangling moved here. Donghu people and Yuanxu people lived together, and the two countries were stable for a long time.

It's just that the stability was broken more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, the remnants of the former dynasty raised troops to restore the former dynasty. When Yuanxu's country was in turmoil, Donghu Guojun wanted to take the opportunity to seize the fortress that invaded the Central Plains - Shanyangling. Yuanxu Kingdom suffered a dull loss, and the relationship between the two countries once again As the situation deteriorated, the Donghu merchants in Shanyangling were also expelled from the country. After more than ten years of relaxation, the two countries began to trade again.

Shanyangling has been the main business route of Donghu and Yuanxu for decades, and it is impossible to be completely abandoned. In the past two years, Donghu merchants who sell cattle, horses and spices have to pass through Shanyangling. Many times, Donghu merchants will bring Donghu and Western Regions The beauty came to Yuanxu Country and dedicated it to the dignitaries.

Therefore, although Shanyang Ridge is located in a remote place, it is extremely bustling and bustling when caravans come and go in spring.

The most lively place at this time was undoubtedly the Tong family, the richest household in Shanyangling County—the young master of the Tong family was in the middle of a weak crown, so the Quartet was invited to give a ceremony of weak crown for the young master.

Speaking of the Tong family, not only is everyone in Shanyangling known, but even in Beijing, there are many nobles who have good friends with the Tong family.Decades ago, when the two countries were on good terms, the Tong family made a fortune and became a wealthy businessman. They also adopted four adopted sons with extraordinary abilities. All the four adopted sons loved his foster brother Tong Yubai very much, and Tong Yubai himself was well-known far and wide. Great talent, today he gave the ceremony of the weak crown, everyone congratulated him, Tong's family is full of people, and the avenue in front of him is even more busy with traffic.

At that time, another carriage stopped at the door, and a man with a Chinese face got out of the carriage. After the man got off the carriage, he respectfully opened the door curtain and said softly, "Your Highness, we're here."

A young man got out of the carriage. The man looked ordinary but was dressed luxuriously. He frowned and said, "Don't call me Your Highness when you are away from home. Just call me Young Master."

"Yes, young master." The man responded and helped the young man get off the carriage.

The young man glanced around, opened the folding fan in his hand, covered his mouth and nose, frowned and said in displeasure: "This place is the same as the ones I saw when I was a child, it's still so poor, living in such a place, I really feel wronged A wonderful person like Yu Bai who emerges from the mud without being stained."

He has a noble status, and he has important business to come to Shanyang Ridge this time, the reason why he condescends to come to Tong's house is because of the deep friendship with Tong Yubai when he was young.

More than ten years ago, the remnants of the previous dynasty rebelled, and many of the royal family of the current dynasty were kidnapped by the rioters and fled to the border between the two countries. In the capital city, although young people hate Shanyangling, they have a special affection for Tong Yubai.

The man with a square face said with a smile: "Since you feel that the young master has been wronged, why not invite the young master to the capital to meet His Royal Highness? Now that the young master is weak, it is time to become an official and make contributions to the government."

"Make meritorious deeds? It wouldn't be so much better if you entered my East Palace. Unfortunately, at this time, father misses the old man. I definitely can't accept a male concubine... Sigh, what a pity."

The young master shook his head, his Chinese face became clear, he bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will take this opportunity to say, I must persuade you to understand your heart, my lord, and it is best to go back to the capital with you." .”

The young master nodded when he heard the words, and he walked forward, followed by Guozilian, and the two arrived at the gate of Tong's mansion.

The young and the old of the Tong family got the news that King Zhong was coming, and they were standing at the door to welcome the guests. When they saw the man with the Chinese face, everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Welcome His Royal Highness King Zhong!"

Master Tong walked over on his knees and respectfully said: "The loyal king is at the door, and Tong's mansion is full of splendor, please come in quickly, my lord!"

King Zhong took a step back to give way to the young man beside him, and said to Master Tong, "You don't need to be polite, this is Mr. Huangfu."

King Zhong showed a respectful gesture, while the young man in Huayi only nodded arrogantly.

Huangfu is the surname of the royal family of Yuanxu Kingdom, and it is self-evident that a prince can treat a prince with respect like a human being, and his status is self-evident-this ordinary-looking young son is the current crown prince Huangfu Rui.

Hearing the words, Old Master Tong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He kowtowed twice to Huangfu Rui, and said tremblingly, "Master Huangfu, please come in quickly! Someone, bring Yu Bai here!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Huangfu!"

Everyone in the Tong family kowtowed to Mr. Tong.

"Brother Rui! Brother Ping!" A crisp call came, and Tong Yubai, who was wearing white clothes and wearing a luminous pearl crown, came bouncing over. Childish and innocent, "Why are you here? I don't know how to write to me. The capital is so far away. If I knew it earlier, I would have asked the eldest brother and the second brother to pick you up!"

Huangfu Rui smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and Yu Bai has become even more icy and lovely. I miss Yu Bai very much. If Yu Bai can go to the capital with me, it would be worthwhile to come to Shanyang Ridge."

Tong Yubai stuck out his tongue when he heard this: "I'm going to take part in the imperial examination in the coming year. Brother Rui will just wait for me when the time comes. I also want to help Brother Rui with things like Brother Ping."

"You silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? You are not doing things for me, but for our Yuan Xu Country." Huangfu Rui scratched the tip of Tong Yubai's nose with a smile, and then glanced at the kneeling man, "Stay flat."

Tong Yubai supported Huangfurui and Huangfuping into the inner hall, Mr. Tong led the crowd to respectfully follow behind the three of them, Huangfurui sat in the main seat, Tong Yubai and Zhongwang sat on the left and right respectively, and the other guests were led to In the lobby, several members of the Tong family stayed in the same room with Huangfu Rui and Zhong Wang.

King Zhong handed the gift list to the master of ceremonies and gave instructions. A servant came forward with a brocade box and knelt down at Tong Yubai's feet: "I wish you all the best every year, young master, as if you are today!"

Huangfu Rui smiled and said, "Yu Bai, open it and see if you like it?"

Tong Yubai opened the brocade box and saw the mutton fat jade pillow in the jade box, his face was pleasantly surprised: "Only Brother Rui understands my heart best! The weather is getting warmer, and I'm worrying about whether I can't sleep comfortably due to the heat, so I want to order my servant to do it." A bamboo pillow, brother Rui and I have a good understanding, so if you don't fall asleep, give me a pillow!"

Huangfu Rui laughed when he heard this.

Huangfu Rui gave the gift, King Zhong couldn't show it anymore, his gift was very heavy, he was afraid of stealing the crown prince's limelight, so he only sent the gift together with other guests' gifts into the other room.

Holding the jade pillow in his arms, Tong Yubai winked at Huangfu Rui slyly: "Brother Rui always said that I don't want you, but you have misunderstood me. I specially prepared a gift. I wanted my second brother to bring it to you when he was working in the capital." , you just happened to be here today, so I will give you a gift, so that Brother Rui can enjoy the joy of my birthday."

After he finished speaking, he turned to the inner room, and after a while, he came out holding the tightly covered tray, stood in front of Huangfu Rui and blinked: "Brother Rui, guess what gift I prepared for you?"

"The things Yu Bai prepared are all your wishes, and I like them all." Huangfu Rui said casually, raising his hand and uncovering the red silk cloth.

Tong Yubai put the heavy tray on the table, stomped his feet, and said coquettishly: "Brother Rui is so annoying, I didn't expect any surprises at all! Thanks to my elder brother... oops, I slipped my tongue!"

He covered his mouth and giggled at Huangfu Rui. Huangfu Rui looked shocked when he saw the things on the tray: "This is... a tiger skin?"

"That's right, it's a tiger skin. The three-meter-long male tiger was beaten to death by the eldest brother. The second brother and I tanned it and gave it to you. Brother Rui, do you like my gift?" Tong Yu Bai's eyes sparkled, in Huangfu Rui's eyes, he was really as cute as he wanted.

The corner of Huangfu Rui's mouth widened into a smile.

King Zhong stepped forward, unfolded the tiger skin with Zhao Jialong, and shook it. King Zhong saw clearly that the tiger skin was intact, without any damage. The soldier is very skillful! Being able to beat such a big tiger to death with his fists and feet without injuring a single bit shows the depth of Mr. Zhao's kung fu, Yuan Xu has such a good general, great kindness!"

Zhao Jialong smiled honestly when he heard the words: "My lord is absurd! The last general is just lucky!"

Huangfu Rui, who was just a novelty to the tiger skin but didn't care much, became interested when he heard the words. He went up to check for a while, and found that the tiger skin was bright and intact. What's even more gratifying is that the tiger skin came from an adult male tiger, and only this one It is indeed a rare thing that a cloak can be made from skin.

Huangfurui's heart moved, King Zhong stepped forward and whispered at the right time: "Your Majesty feels cold in winter. If His Highness dedicates this thing to His Majesty, His Majesty will know His Highness's filial piety, and he will definitely be very happy."

It can be said that Zhongwang is in Huangfu Rui's heart. The emperor has been sentimental recently and misses his old friend.This is not a good job, because the emperor's old friend was also exiled to Shanyang Ridge more than ten years ago because of the remnants of the previous dynasty. That person was in his sixties at that time, and now he is probably buried in the ground long ago. Huangfu Rui If he can't complete the task, the emperor who returns to court will definitely look at him even more disliked.

If he could take the opportunity to offer a gift, and just say that he bought the tiger skin with his life, maybe the Holy Majesty would be more happy-the emperor has become more and more fond of people around him to die for him and live for him, so that he will feel that others treat him badly. sincere.

Huangfu Rui's eyes flashed, he waved his hand and said, "Reward!"

King Zhong took his own jade pendant and gave it to Zhao Jialong—the emperor was moody, and he was wary of all his courtiers, which would offend Tian Yan. This time he and the prince were ordered to conduct a private patrol in secret, without bringing much money or confidantes.

"Thank you, Young Master, for the reward!"

After Zhao Jialong knelt down and took the jade pendant, he exchanged a glance with King Zhong, and both of them smiled knowingly.

With King Zhong by Huangfu Rui's side, even if someone in the market knew that Zhao Jialong had killed the tiger, it didn't matter. The Crown Prince hated mountains and mountains, hated common people the most in his life, and would definitely not talk to those people. He believed whatever the Tong family said.

Moreover, the crown prince's love for Tong Yubai is beyond words, with Tong Yubai as his companion, how could the crown prince think of finding out the real source of the tiger skin.

Huangfu Rui ordered people to carefully put away the tiger skin, and then praised Zhao Jialong for his bravery, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

All the other guests were present, Huangfu Rui felt it was noisy, so he went for a walk in the back garden while Tong Yubai was paying respects to the guests.

The cool breeze was blowing, Huangfu Rui frowned when he thought of all the worries in the capital, the emperor had been very suspicious these years, he, the crown prince, was walking on thin ice, and the courtiers who knew the past were ready to move, Huangfu Rui couldn't trust anyone around him, for fear that those people would have a different heart.

Only Tong Yubai, who rescued him when he was young, was different to Huangfurui - Tong Yubai had always been so innocent and lively for many years, staying by Tong Yubai's side, he could somehow gain some peace.

But the tranquility was broken in an instant.

There was a commotion outside the garden, the sound was getting closer, Huangfu Rui looked over displeasedly, and saw three figures pushing and shoving towards him with the door.

"I'm here to give away the tiger. Tong Yubai said that the tiger I killed can't be sold to others, but can only be used as a tomb. Same as before, 30 taels. I also sent the killed tigress, and the snake Ah chicken, you young masters should also do Tsukado too!"

The young man's voice was calm and unwavering. When he spoke, a heavy object was slammed on the ground, and at the same time, something rolled under Huangfu Rui's feet.

Huangfu Rui lowered his head, and saw a tiger's head with sunken eyes, blackened and bloody flesh, the tiger's mouth was wide open and its teeth were white, it was really ferocious.

Next to the tiger's head, the bound tiger's carcass lay on the ground.

Huangfu Rui looked at the tiger's carcass and listened to the quarrel in his ears, his complexion became more and more ugly, and finally his complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot.

30 two?

The gift that Tong Yu prepared for him with all his heart cost only 30 taels, or was it cheated from a vulgar hunter?

How can it be!
