Chapter 220 Farewell
After speaking, Li Qingyan chuckled, then turned and left.
Xu Yuan watched the tall and slender figure disappear around the corner, remained silent for a long time, and abruptly scolded his mother:
"damn it."
“.”
Jiang He glanced at him: "vulgar."
Xu Yuanhui glanced back: "You old man knows nothing."
Jiang He's cheeks twitched: "Then why don't you tell me that this old man doesn't understand?"
Xu Yuan sat on the back of the chair and raised his legs:
"Didn't you hear just now, my safety is protected by Li Qingyan."
Jiang He frowned:
"What's in it?"
"That's why I said you know nothing."
“.”
The wrinkles on Jiang He's face were shaken by anger, and when he was about to attack, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled and explained:
"Old man Jiang, it's a very simple truth. Don't you think that I went to the northern border as the third son of Xiangguo Mansion, shouldn't I be protected by Mr. Zong?"
Jiang He had weird eyes when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
Xu Yuan looked at the direction Li Qingyan left, and shook his head:
"This princess really can't see through, she has no idea what she is thinking."
Ginger is neither cold nor cold:
"She should not be against you."
Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand:
"What I just said was an evaluation of my fiancée from the perspective of a son-in-law, not because I was worried that she would be unfavorable to me."
Paused, Xu Yuan's eyes were filled with a faint light:
"Of course, this is not absolute.
"I have an intuition that if the overall situation requires it, I feel that Wu Yuan can sell his husband as bait."
"A woman with hundreds of thousands of innocent souls on her hands, tenderness will only come after iron and blood"
“.”
Jiang He listened carefully, took a deep look at Xu Yuan, did not answer, but asked instead:
"I'm not interested in asking about your personal affairs, but you boy came here with Wu Yuan, so you should ask me for other things, right?"
Xu Yuan sat up straight immediately when he saw this, he came to find Jiang He because he had other things to do, he smiled and said:
"I'm here because I want Mr. Jiang, your Gewuyuan, to do me a favor."
Jiang He didn't want to interrupt directly:
"I want the old man to do me a favor? Heh. You can think about it in your dreams."
Seeking help from others, Xu Yuan still licked his face and smiled:
"Mr. Jiang... don't rush to refuse."
Jiang He's eyes were cold, and his old voice was powerful:
"No money."
"." Xu Yuan.
"However, if you want the old man to help, it's not impossible"
Jiang He glanced at Xu Yuan indifferently, rubbing his index finger and thumb lightly.
“.”
Seeing this gesture, Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.
One or two of these old things have fallen into the eyes of Qian Qian.
Sighing, Xu Yuan took out a stack of banknotes from Xumijie, with a denomination of 10,000 taels:
"Are these enough?"
Jiang He saw what Xu Yuan touched, his pupils lit up slightly, and he reached out to take it, but was held down by Xu Yuan:
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't your kid give the money to the old man?"
"I didn't even ask for it, who knows if you will be hacked."
“.”
Two hands were pressed on the pile of bank notes, and the room fell into silence for a while.
Jiang He's white hair moved slightly, and her voice was still calm:
"You, this is insulting the character of the old man."
"Chi"
Xu Yuan sneered:
"Your character? You and Hua Hong, the old man, can even fool our four brothers and sisters' New Year's money when they were young. What kind of character do you have? It is said to help you save money, but now you don't even see the money."
"." Jiang He.
Jiang He blushed, but his hands were still on the stack of bank notes, without any intention of letting go, and directly changed the subject:
"Okay, tell me what you want me to do for you."
Xu Yuan heard the words directly:
"I want you to help me develop a elixir."
"What level?" Jiang He asked.
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously asked:
"Level? What level? There are different levels of pills?"
Jiang He felt strange when he heard this:
"Third young master, you really don't eat fireworks in the world. You eat the best pills of the second grade as jelly beans, and the lower grades of the first grade also eat so much. You don't know that there are different grades of pills?"
"." Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan really didn't pay attention to this matter.
After all, he doesn't have to buy it himself.
When he ran out of pills, he asked the old housekeeper for them, and the old housekeeper just told him the efficacy of the pills and the precautions when taking them.
At this time, Jiang He said softly:
"The elixir is divided into three grades, A, B, and C. Each tier is divided into three grades, upper, middle and lower. There are nine grades in total. What kind of elixir do you want to develop?"
Xu Yuan thought for a while, and said in a low voice:
"The elixir I want should be considered the first-class."
"Class A superior?"
"Well, it's probably at the same level as the Blood Spirit Fusion Pill."
“.”
Jiang He took a deep breath, raised his tone, and glanced at the stack of bank notes under his hand:
"Blood Spirit Fusion is not at the level of elixir, and five hundred thousand taels wants to develop this elixir. Are you kidding me?"
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Not enough money?"
Jiang He said angrily: "Boy, do you really not know the cost of developing pills? It usually costs hundreds of thousands to develop a second-grade pill, and medicinal materials of the level of Xueling Fusion Pill are all expensive. There is no market, and it usually costs hundreds of thousands of taels to make a furnace, and if you want to develop a new drug, the price must be increased by at least ten times."
Xu Yuan opened his mouth, he was a little scared by this kind of research and development funding.
Jiang He looked at his expression and snorted coldly:
"And the research and development of this elixir is a bottomless pit. The medicinal properties of the medicinal materials need to be adjusted bit by bit. If any medicinal material is not available, all the initial investment will be in vain."
Say it,
Jiang He moved his hand away from the stack of bank notes.
He didn't know the purpose of Xu Yuan who suddenly said that he wanted to develop a new elixir, but Xu Yinhe would never allow this kind of expense.
As long as Xu Yinhe doesn't allow it, Xu Yuan will never be able to spend so much money.
For a while, the Accord fell into a brief silence.
After being quiet for a while, Jiang He slowly stood up:
"Okay, there are a lot of things in Gewuyuan, so I will go first"
"etc."
Xu Yuan stopped him suddenly, sighed, and slowly began to take out the banknote from the Xumi ring.
A stack.
Two stacks.
Three stacks
Xu Yuan didn't stop what he was doing until he caught Jiang He's eyes straight.
Jiang He opened his face very wide, looking at the seven or eight stacks of banknotes with a face value of 10,000 taels placed on the table.
More than four million taels.
Jiang He stuttered a bit:
Xu Yuan smiled and spread his hands:
"Of course it is the Wanxiang sect."
Jiang He regained his smiling face, and sat back on the chair with a smile:
"Isn't the money already distributed, and you secretly hid so much?"
Xu Yuan shook his head, laughed lowly and said:
"There is not only one sect of the Wanxiang Sect in the Vientiane City. It is normal to suffer losses during the war, right?"
Jiang He didn't ask further questions, and pondered for a moment, without showing any appearance of a money fan, but asked Xu Yuan seriously:
"Chang Tian, have you reserved your money from the beginning to develop this elixir?"
Xu Yuan was slightly silent and sighed:
"yes."
"May I ask you why?"
“.”
Xu Yuan shook his head and tapped on the table lightly:
"If possible, I hope Mr. Jiang can help me hide it from my father.
"If the money is not enough, or if you encounter any trouble, please contact me as soon as possible, and I will find a way to get some more money."
"Well, if there is any need for medicinal materials, I can also find a way."
Facts have proved that Xu Yuan's guess about the northern border is correct.
After conspiring with Jiang He to get out of Lutian Garden, Xu Yuan was about to continue to go to Feng Jiuxuan's Jiange Dojo to be knifed, so Xu Changge found him.
Xu Changge, who has always been quiet, worriedly talked to him about many things at once, including the pros and cons of everything.
To sum it up in one sentence.
The royal family and they need a bargaining chip of mutual trust in the matter of the northern border.
The heirs of both sides have to go to the front line.
After listening carefully, Xu Yuan looked sideways at his elder brother who was walking with him on the road to Jiange, and chuckled lightly:
"In short, the second prince and the third prince will be sent to Mr. Zong, and I will be with Wu Yuan's Habayashi army, right?"
Xu Changge's face was stern, but Danfeng's eyes looked worried:
"Well, this matter is the price Li Yaoxuan offered his father."
Xu Yuan looked up at the blue sky, and uttered two words:
"I go."
Xu Changge frowned and said in a low voice:
"Father is still discussing this matter with Li Yaoxuan, so don't worry, maybe the prince and I will go to the front line in the end."
Because of the war in the northern border, both he and the prince had been sent to the royal court of the northern barbarians to discuss things like an armistice.
In other words, as long as the person has not left Beijing, it is not impossible to talk about changing people to the north.
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"Xu Changge, if you go to the northern border, the Zongmen will definitely let you die there."
Xu Changge glanced at Xu Yuan, and the thin corners of his lips smiled inexplicably:
"The sect has always wanted me to die, but no one has dared to do it."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, feeling a little helpless about the elder brother's self-confidence, and said:
"Although Xu Changge has a high level of cultivation, the two sides in the northern border have lost millions of soldiers, and the situation is chaotic. You are the sole heir to our Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time, you are the main battle. If you can, they will do whatever it takes.
As he spoke, Xu Yuan spread his hands in a very bachelor way:
"But I'm different, I'm just a dandy, Zongmen will not take the risk of completely angering my father to kill me by force."
Xu Changge glanced at him coldly:
"Nonsense! Your cultivation level went to the northern border and died if you didn't pay attention."
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, but after sighing, he still said slowly:
"The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.
"Those princes can go, why can't I go?"
The words fell silent.
Going far away, Xu Changge said quietly:
"Before my mother died, I promised her to protect you."
Xu Yuan looked back at Xu Changge, and said with a smile:
"Brother, show your favor and take on your responsibility. I can't let my father always make things difficult for me."
"What's more, if I want to take charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I still lack a lot of things. Blind protection can only make me a man of paper. Although this trip to the north is risky, it is indispensable."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan's eyes were sharp and he did not back down:
"After ten days, I will go to the northern border with Wu Yuan."
“.”
Inside the Jiange,
Feng Jiuxuan looked at the two nephews at the door of the dojo, sighed faintly, turned and left
Nine days later, at night, Tianyun Palace.
The benefactors who come here are bustling and noisy, and the dresses of the ladies and gentlemen in various colors are fluttering.
Due to what happened last time, the gathering of the Four Young Masters in Beijing is still in the private seat in the lobby.
Xu Yuan and Li Junwu arrived first.
Both of them are not working, so they are the most leisurely.
Both Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzeng have official positions. Although their families have backgrounds, they must at least respect their skin.
But in the end, the two of them still didn't arrive.
Order wine and listen to music.
Miss Guanren has long sleeves and is good at dancing. She is dressed in a plain black palace dress. The low-cut dress is shaking slightly, and the black silk stockings worn underneath are faintly exposed between her jade legs.
Looking at the dress of the waiter, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Li Junwu who was sitting beside him:
"I heard that this newly opened Goulan is full of female disciples from some rebellious sects?"
Li Junwu stared at the lady who was dancing in the empty space, crossed his legs, and replied absent-mindedly:
"Yes, it's a new one. Changtian, aren't you already engaged to Wu Yuan? Why did you suddenly call us out for a get-together?"
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard the words:
"Is there any conflict between my engagement and coming to Goulan?"
Li Junwu looked back, his eyes were a little strange:
"Aren't you afraid that the goddess of death will chop you up?"
"Female killer?" Xu Yuan felt that Li Junwu's description of Li Qingyan was a little funny: "Are you referring to Wu Yuan?"
Li Junwu pouted:
"Otherwise, my father said before that there are no less than a million souls who died under the hands of this woman. Can this kind of woman allow you to come to the bar?"
Xu Yuan sighed:
"Don't spread rumors. Although she is telling the truth, I feel that although she is a bit domineering, she is still pretty good overall."
"Not bad?" Li Junwu raised his eyebrows, teasingly said, "We've only been together a few times, and now I'm starting to speak for her."
Xu Yuan spread his hands and smiled:
"Well, she is a fiancee after all."
"Is it pretty?" Li Junwu suddenly asked with great interest.
Xu Yuan looked into her eyes, smiled and asked:
"Why, are you sexually interested in others?"
Li Junwu took a sip of the fine wine in his glass and shook his head:
"I don't like that kind of woman, sleeping next to her, maybe her head will fall off one day, just ask.
"But judging by your attitude towards others, you should be pretty."
Xu Yuan recalled a little, and said with a smile:
"Should be a little prettier than you."
Paused, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Junwu's chest:
"But I don't know if she wears a corset like you."
Li Junwu's eyes were funny, he glanced down, shook his head and said:
"This thing is uncomfortable to wear, and it's stuffy to wear. I also wear it when I go out to play."
"Don't share your experience, I can't use it." Xu Yuan complained.
Li Junwu rolled his eyes, his complexion was a little blush from the wine, he lay down on the soft couch behind him, and put a pair of jade legs on Xu Yuan's lap:
"Click it for me, I'm exhausted after practicing all day."
"You really don't see the outside world." Xu Yuan smiled, but didn't refuse: "Dare to ask me to massage your legs."
Li Junwu felt the touch from his leg and chuckled lightly:
"Aren't you very happy? You are very honest in your hands. Tell me, what are you planning to say by calling us out suddenly this time?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly while pressing his leg:
"I'm going to the north tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye."
