"You all get down."

After the maids were dismissed, only King Yan and Pei Yue were left in the pavilion. Feng Jing stood aside and poured wine for them.

After drinking the door cup, King Yan said calmly: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't take the initiative to make friends with a powerful martial artist like you. Not only will it make my father suspicious, but it will also make it easier to ruin my reputation over the years. There are so many people in this world.

This is a very abominable truth. A bad person can become a Buddha immediately by doing good deeds occasionally, while a good person will fall into the abyss if he makes a mistake."

Listening to his emotion, Pei Yue said indifferently: "The prince's words are a bit superficial."

Facing Pei Yue, whose words were full of alienation, King Yan asked with great interest: "Don't you want to know the reason why I want to see you?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Feng Changshi said just now that the prince admires my achievements and appreciates my abilities. Since he is so straightforward, he always wants to meet me."

King Yan smiled heartily, but he was a little disappointed.

Pei Yue picked up the wine cup in front of him, looked at the lake scenery caressed by the spring breeze outside the pavilion, and said with a chuckle: "The prince is sitting on such a huge property, and he is dyed with the Daliang culture and is not suspected by the world. In fact, compared with the Qibao of His Highness Prince Lu,

The pavilion is no less generous. With so much wealth and honor, isn’t the prince still satisfied?”

Feng Jing's expression changed slightly as he stood solemnly holding the pot.

King Yan's laughter suddenly stopped. Looking at Pei Yue who looked calm, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "Do you know what I want to do?"

Pei Yue raised the corner of his mouth, met the other party's gaze, and said calmly: "The prince will never want to use the Beijing Army's North Camp to raise the flag to rebel."

Feng Jing said subconsciously: "Marquis Pei, don't speak nonsense!"

King Yan raised his hand and waved it lightly, Feng Jing lowered his head and kept silent.

"You keep talking."

"Your Majesty and I have never met and have no friendship at all. Today we met unexpectedly and strangely. His words were unreserved and he didn't seem to be trying to win me over. Of course, I am somewhat self-aware. Even though His Majesty appointed me as

The deputy commander of Beiying is still nothing compared to Wei Guogong, Mo Ruizhi and others."

"Why do you have to be so modest? In the past hundred years, our country has never had an eighteen-year-old Beijing commander."

"Even if the prince wants to break the image he has built for more than ten years, he will not waste such a precious opportunity on me, right?"

"Interesting, indeed interesting."

King Yan was very interested and took the initiative to raise a lamp to Pei Yue.

After the two of them finished drinking, Pei Yue revealed the answer to the mystery and said, "The prince is interested in the piece of land I have in the capital?"

King Yan nodded, then shook his head and said: "Since you have seen my intention, I don't have to hide it. I am not interested in the land you bought, but I am very interested in the manor you are going to build.

interest."

Pei Yue smiled softly and said meaningfully: "The prince's information is better than I imagined."

Before this morning, there were only a few people who knew that he wanted to build a manor. It was impossible for these people to sell the news to King Yan. The only possibility was those wealthy businessmen and craftsmen. Even if he wasted some time in a circle around Kyoto,

The fact that King Yan was able to learn this news in such a short period of time proves his strength, and he is by no means as simple as an idle prince in the eyes of the world.

King Yan did not deny it and said with a smile: "I am not a very smart person, but I know my position and abilities. To be honest, I am very interested in making money, but those petty profits are not worth my time."

Pei Yue knew that his previous words were also reminding him not to think that a second-class prince could compete with a prince.

He said calmly: "No wonder Xianyun Village can achieve its current scale quietly."

King Yan admired the calmness of this young powerful man and nodded: "So you should understand that I have no ill intentions towards you. Although I am just an idle prince, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can help you avoid all the obvious problems."

trouble."

"cooperate?"

Pei Yue repeated the word, then shook his head calmly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is necessary."

Feng Jing frowned, but he didn't show any pretense at this moment, and just stood aside silently.

King Yan looked at Pei Yue steadily and asked calmly: "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "No."

King Yan was observing him, and he was observing this fourth prince with an excellent reputation.

To this day, Pei Yue can't be called invincible. After all, there are a bunch of old monsters suppressing him, but with his own ability and hard work, he already has the confidence to say no to these people.

So he really wanted to see what the fourth prince was thinking.

There was no anger in King Yan's eyes, and he suddenly changed the topic: "I heard that when you came, you had some collision with Luo Mansion's carriage?"

Pei Yue replied: "The driver of the Luo Mansion accidentally frightened the horses pulling the cart, and my soldiers killed the two crazy horses. By the way, the prince's village should have many sacred horses. I don't know."

Can you lend me two horses to give to the eldest son of the Luo Mansion? This place is far away from Kyoto, and we cannot let the eldest son of the Luo Mansion return on foot."

King Yan suddenly laughed and said cheerfully: "What's the point of borrowing a word? How about I give you two Gaoyang horses?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Your Majesty's reward is disrespectful, so thank you very much."

King Yan took advantage of the situation and said: "No matter what business you want to do, I only want 10% of the shares."

Pei Yue also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I already calculated it on the way here. I can only give you ten shares at most. No more will be enough."

One percent is one tenth, and ten percent is one percent.

King Yan was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "I wonder what the price of these ten shares is?"

Pei Yue stretched out his right hand with five fingers spread out and said calmly: "Fifty thousand taels."

This time King Yan did not hesitate and said with a smile: "Yes."

Feng Jing listened in confusion. Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that Pei Yue had a big plan to buy the land in Kyoto, he didn't even see a brick. He dared to ask for 50,000 taels for one percent of the shares.

?

What's even more surprising is that the prince actually agreed so happily.

Of course, the two real owners were not interested in explaining to him. After all, this transaction was about more than just stocks and money. In fact, when their eyes met, many things gradually took shape.

After the official talk, it was natural to have a chat. King Yan was very talkative, and very rationally did not get involved in state affairs, and only talked about romantic affairs.

…

A small courtyard in the mountains.

After Pei Yue left, Pei Ning sat by the window and meditated, while Liangyan and Taohua whispered beside her.

A peaceful and quiet place.

However, this silence was soon broken.

Deng Zai stopped in front of the small courtyard, with six soldiers standing behind him. Such a lineup was enough to scare away any young man. But at this moment, the look on Deng Zai's face was very solemn. He looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old man opposite who was dressed in a luxurious palace.

The pretending girl and a large group of people around her asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

A man with a pale face and no beard next to the girl in palace clothes said sharply: "How brave! Do you want to die when you see Her Highness the Princess dare not to kneel down?"

The girl didn't have Deng Zai in her eyes at all. She looked into the small courtyard and said coldly: "Is the Pei family daughter here?"

The man quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness, this is the place. There is absolutely no mistake."

The girl sneered twice and scolded: "What a big arrogant person, you still don't come out to greet me when I come."

Deng Zai's mind was racing, remembering the identity of this girl, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I see Princess Pingyang."

The girl glanced sideways at him and said contemptuously: "Get out of the way."

Deng Zai didn't know what she was going to do, but he would not forget Pei Yue's order, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The Marquis has an order. I am not allowed to let anyone break into this courtyard without permission. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang asked in disbelief: "You dare to stop me?"

Before Deng Zai could reply, a guard stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Deng Zai on the face.
