Apparently the Ke family knew that there was a lake behind Pianxiang Villa, which was suitable for boating.
Another guard came in from outside and smiled at He Lingchuan: "Sir, someone is carrying a boat up the mountain saying it is for you. Everyone is watching outside."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan perked up and slapped the gift list, "Let's go out and have a look!"
He and Jiao Yu went to the back mountain and happened to meet the people carrying the boat up the mountain.
No matter how straight, flat or wide the road to Pianxiang Villa is, it is still an uphill road, so four giant bull monsters were hired to pull up the special flatbed truck carrying the boat. Each one is almost as big as an ordinary elephant.
Although there are many celebrities gathered in Pianxiang Villa today, such a big and eye-catching gift is still unique, and many people come to watch the fun.
Of course Fu Shanyue also came, accompanied by a person in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a jade crown.
When He Lingchuan arrived, Fu Shanyue pointed at him and said: "The real master has appeared." Then he said to He Lingchuan:
"This is the fifth son of the Ke family, Ke Yanjing."
When Ke Yanjing saw He Lingchuan, his eyes lit up slightly: "This is He Xiao? He is as handsome as his name suggests!"
What this man is wearing does not look eye-catching at first glance, but anyone who knows anything knows that every piece of clothing is extremely expensive. For example, the gray tile-gray robe with crane patterns on his body has a bit of gold showing through the gray. Under different lights,
The color contrast was different, and people at the time called it "pool gold." The ordinary model cost fifty taels of silver, but his custom-made model didn't know how much it cost.
He Lingchuan saw that the boat was exquisitely carved, with tiles on the roof, railings on the sides, and windows on all sides. Simply put, a whole waterside pavilion was built into the boat. The main feature of this boat was its exquisiteness, and it could accommodate as much as possible if you squeezed it in.
There are six people, but although the sparrow is small, it is fully equipped. Not only are the tables and chairs fixed, but there are also two rows of cabinets to store chessboards, tableware, charcoal stoves, wine bottles, life-saving equipment, etc. There are even special cabinets in the cabin.
The space can store fresh water and long charcoal.
Everyone was amazed, and Ke Yanjing was very satisfied when he saw their expressions, so he asked He Lingchuan:
"Do you want to go into the water now?"
"Then there is Mr. Lao Ke."
There is a ceremony for launching a treasure ship, and we happened to do it together today.
Two quarters of an hour later, under the watchful eyes of all the distinguished guests, the boat slid smoothly into the lake at the back of Qilin Mountain.
Everyone applauded.
Fu Shanyue smiled and said: "It seems that a pier needs to be built in the back mountain to facilitate berthing of boats."
He Lingchuan once again thanked Ke Yan, and then said: "I won't accept it for no merit. How can Mr. Ke give me such a generous gift?"
The onlookers gradually dispersed. After all, those who could be present today were either rich or noble, and they were not unsophisticated commoners. After a few compliments, they voluntarily left, allowing the host and guest to chat in private.
Don't be so unpleasant, it's etiquette.
Ke Yanjing looked at everyone walking away and then said to He Lingchuan:
"He Xiao is doing business in Baisha and is not afraid of force. He is very praised by my family. How about visiting my house with the prince in the next two days? Father wants to see you very much."
He Lingchuan's face moved slightly: "It's a good thing to dare to be kind. It's better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
Ke Yanjing exchanged a few words with Fushan Yuehan and then went to the main hall.
Soon, he was surrounded by people, like stars surrounding the moon.
Rich people who spend a lot of money are popular everywhere.
Fu Shanyue crossed his arms and looked at it, while asking He Lingchuan: "Do you know why his family gave you gifts?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I really don't know."
Why does the Ke family need to befriend him?
"You and Fan Sheng fought twice and you didn't lose." Fu Shanyue solved the puzzle for him. "The second time, you even pushed Fan Sheng into the water and rubbed him against each other, which made him lose face."
"So..." He Lingchuan thought about it for a moment and then asked, "The Ke family and the Fan brothers are not going to deal with each other?"
"Fan Bao killed the Ke family." He Lingchuan let out a long "Oh": "That's it!"
Fan Bao is a giant bear!
A bear demon that can kill someone with one slap.
"Ke Laoliu went hunting and happened to meet Fan Bao... What good outcome could there be? Although it was later determined to be a misunderstanding, the feud between the two families was thus forged and has never been resolved." Fu Shanyue
He smiled and said, "You defeated Fan Sheng, and the Ke family will feel relieved; the Ke family will give you gifts, and other dignitaries will follow suit. Well, Tongxinwei will also receive the news soon."
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh.
But at this time, he saw a familiar figure among the guests, so he greeted Fu Shanyue and walked slowly over.
As soon as he reached that person, he immediately sensed him and turned around immediately.
The reactions you develop on the battlefield are different from those of ordinary people.
He Lingchuan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "General Nian, we meet again."
This man has a tall and straight figure but his eyebrows are a little gloomy. It is the New Year's greeting!
It's not like he came uninvited.
Fu Shanyue followed the tradition of Lingxu City and when moving to a new house, he had to send out posters and invite guests. At He Lingchuan's suggestion, he was also invited to the New Year's Ceremony.
Xunzhou Mu also smiled: "Master He, are you okay?"
"ToEFL, it's not easy to be alive." He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "Since we arrived in Lingxu City, there has been no peace."
What happened to Prince Chi Yan in Lingxu City has spread throughout the streets and alleys in the past few days. It can be said that it is the most popular. How could you not hear about the Nian Zanli?
He had been in Lingxu City for a long time, worked hard, and managed everything, but he failed to make any splash in this vast ocean. He could only lament that the water in Lingxu City was too deep.
But when Fu Shanyue and the others came, it was like a wave in the vast sea, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.
He really envied this kind of enthusiasm, but for him to be like Prince Chiyan, who would really offend many forces in the dynasty, he was unwilling and unable to do it.
Therefore, Nian Zanli also expressed sympathy: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the burden. I hope the case of the elixir will be revealed soon."
The major case is solved, the dust has settled, those who deserve to be arrested are arrested, those who deserve to be killed are killed, and the people of Chiyan will naturally be safe.
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "I want to borrow the general's good wishes from the new year."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they cherished each other.
He Lingchuan coughed lightly and said, "General Nian, could you please take a step to speak?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh?" Nian Zanli looked at the way he hesitated to speak. The content he wanted to talk about was probably quite secretive, "Okay."
He Lingchuan looked around and happened to see the boat parked on the shore. He immediately stretched out his hand and pointed: "Come on, please get on the boat." He asked the maid to bring a small jar of wine and a plate of snacks.
Although there is no pier on the shore, both of them have cultivation skills and can board the boat with a single jump.
He Lingchuan put the snacks on the low table, grabbed the long oar and gently tapped it on the shore, and the boat slowly swung in the opposite direction.
He acted as a boatman in a decent manner, rowing the boat into the lake in three strokes.
Afterwards, Nian Zanli had already poured wine for him, and the two of them sat down to drink.
In late autumn, the maple trees hidden on the shore have changed into red, and the tall sycamore trees have dropped their golden leaves.
"Going boating in the lake, the scenery of the lake and the mountains are indeed different from those on the shore." Nian Zan praised, "Master Ke Wu is also a wonderful person."
"That's right." He Lingchuan smiled slightly, it was a P! Ke Wuxuan sent a boat up when the dignitaries gathered at Pianxiang Villa, just because he wanted it to be big and eye-catching. The Ke family may have become accustomed to being surrounded by thousands of people wherever they go.
Pay attention, otherwise it is like the mustard boat built by Songyang Mansion, which is bigger than this boat, but can usually be carried in your arms.
That is the treasure.
He Lingchuan is also a person who has been around a lot in the field of human relationships, and he sees it very clearly:
Whether it was a big gadget or a small gadget that Ke Wu gave him, considering the status of the Ke family, it was not considered an expensive gift.
Obviously, the Ke family has a very clear position on He Lingchuan: the Chiyan envoy who humiliated the Fan Sheng brothers has caused some trouble in Lingxu City, but it is not clear how he will end up offending so many forces.
Let's make friends first.
If he had not defeated Fan Sheng, the wealthy Ke family would not have given him a second glance.
The two pushed glasses and talked about some interesting things about Lingxu City. Among them were the gossips and clues that He Lingchuan had obtained from Lao Ge through the squirrel. They were all harmless but unsightly little secrets of the upper class.
The more the two chatted, the happier they became, and the boat was filled with cheerful and hypocritical laughter.
If Nian Zanli knew that the person in front of him was the murderer, he would probably draw his sword and chop him, right?
He Lingchuan smiled even more happily when he thought of this.
He also talked about how Bai Shali solved the case. This was first-hand information from the person involved. It was full of practical information and details. It was many times more detailed than the hearsay about the praise last year.
The well-informed young general was also frequently moved when he heard this.
He had been in Bejia for two months, and he had the deepest experience of the coldness and ruthlessness of Lingxu City. The Chiyan people had to withstand the pressure of the words "Lingxu City" when handling cases, and the difficulties and risks involved were unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even he sighed sincerely: "It's so difficult for you."
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Then what can be done? The more the prince becomes the prince he is today, the more difficult the process will be. In fact, the emperor of Chiyan's favorite prince is Fu Shanji."
Nian Zanli nodded. Fu Shanyue has become famous in Lingxu City recently, so regarding his past, that is, how the eldest son who was originally not favored by the king turned against the wind and rose to the top, the rumors in the city are really adding fuel to the fire.
Even if you don't pay attention to the New Year's greetings at first, you have listened to it to some extent. After all, gossip is also an important topic in Vanity Fair.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to ask how Fu Shanji died.
Everyone knows it.
Huafang then fell into a brief silence.
Both of them knew it was time to get down to business.
He Lingchuan looked at the long grass in the distance: "General Nian, I asked you to get on the boat today. Actually, I want to say sorry."
Nian Zanli's face looked slightly gloomy, he had already thought of what he was going to say.
"Even the demon kings cannot borrow elite troops to attack foreign countries without the emperor's approval." He Lingchuan poured him another glass. "We say goodbye to Dunyuan. Our Highness will come back and think about it for many days... Sigh!"
He shook his head: "That's why I want to apologize on my behalf."
After working hard in Lingxu City for two months, Nian Zanli was already used to being rejected, and now he didn't feel so disappointed.
