Chapter 412 Strange Request(1/2)

The celebration banquet was left in vain, and it was a scandal when it was spread, but the King of Qin did not care about this, because this year the Qin State's bumper harvest of gold bricks was so I wanted to laugh at them, so let's first look at the few gold bricks that had been earned in his Taimiao.

"Is your father angry with Ying'er?"

On the way back, Ying Ying helped King Qin and asked in a low voice.

The King of Qin smiled and shook his head, patted Ying Ying's back of the hand that was supporting him with his other hand, "No, my father just thinks that you have all grown up, and I feel a little emotional."

"Father."

"Don't worry, my father is not blaming you. After all, the kings are the rule passed down by their ancestors. My father also came here in the past. Although I couldn't bear it, I had to let the rule continue for the sake of my great Qin's eternal foundation." Perhaps because I didn't want to talk about this topic again, the King of Qin suddenly asked, "By the way, that Tianyou is your person, right?"

Ying Ying looked at King Qin with a little surprise, then reacted and shook his head. "Not count."

The King of Qin frowned. "Then he has to work harder." After thinking about it, he continued, "But the benefits are not enough, so he doesn't like it?"

Ying Ying shook her head, "Not that."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Well... Ying'er doesn't know how to talk about it. Anyway, he is a strange person."

"Strange?"

"Well, it's weird." Ying Ying recalled the little things he had with Tianyou and said, "Although Tianyou was born in the mountains and fields, he had a good experience. He knew astronomy and geography, and was also proficient in the art of investigating things. He seemed to have a unique understanding of the art of refining weapons, which led to the immortal Zhenyuan making an exception and joining disciples."

"How can a child from a mountain know so much?" The King of Qin also began to feel that this was abnormal.

Ying Ying shook her head, "So I said he is a strange man. He is obviously a wild boy, but he is as smooth as a businessman who has traveled around the country for many years and has a wide range of friendships."

"This is a bit strange."

"It's more than that." Ying Ying said again: "The villagers I have seen on weekdays are either cowardly, weak or vulgar and reckless, but God blesses him...he..."

"So what about him?"

"I can't say it. At first I felt that he had received a good education, was well-educated, understood poetry, and could also pop up two philosophical and catchy sentences from time to time. But afterwards, I gradually became familiar with him, but I felt that he was full of fairy spirit."

"Fairy spirit?"

"It's not that kind of spiritual power, but the magic power, but the fairy spirit when dealing with people. It feels like Master and the others. It won't look at one of us differently because of the huge difference between me and the beggar on the roadside. It seems that in his eyes, you are you, and you won't be different because of who you are."

The King of Qin thought about it and said, "Have you checked his origin?"

Ying Ying nodded, "As early as the first time he escorted me back to the royal city, he sent someone to check it. Except for the things before the age of 9, it should be fine. As for the situation before the age of 9, I heard that I had been wandering around with a female cultivator named Xiyan, but this female cultivator was not his biological mother, but he picked him up in his infancy and raised him for 9 years. Since then, he has left him in Qingyuan Village and has never appeared again. Tianyou is still thinking about finding this adoptive mother. Joining Zixiao Palace is also to accumulate merits and borrow the magic weapon of the town sect from our sect to calculate the position of the adoptive mother."

"Even if he is born with a clever and delicate heart, what complicated thoughts can a child with a yellow mouth have? I, Daqin, are not the soft Song Dynasty. I, Daqin, should use people without doubt. Although Tianyou's origin is a little doubtful, it is not worth giving up a rare talent for this. You still need to win over you."

"My daughter knows. But God You, a man with a weird temper, always gives people a sense of contradiction. Sometimes my daughter really doesn't know how to make him return."

Looking at his somewhat distressed daughter, King Qin couldn't help but say a few words.

"Yinger, you are concerned about it and it's a mess. How did you do it in the past, just keep your normal mind."

"A calm mind?" Ying Ying was stunned for a moment, then recalled the various things between him and Tianyou, and then suddenly said excitedly: "Daughter understands. Thank you for your father's advice."

The King of Qin smiled on his face, and still asked: "Do you really understand?"

"Well." Ying Ying nodded vigorously. "I understand. The key to getting a friend is to make friends. If you want to please him and deliberately win him over, you will lose the right amount. If I can give you what others can give you, he can also help me because of this. Before, my daughter was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. From now on, I just thought he was a close friend who could make friends and showed him a true heart. If he still couldn't take it to himself, it was because his daughter was not virtuous enough and was really not worthy of controlling such a capable person."

Listening to Ying Ying's answer, the King of Qin finally nodded with satisfaction. "Do you know why the father has so many children, and you only like to let you be by your side?"

Ying Ying smiled and shook her head, deliberately joking. "Maybe it's because Ying Er is cute."

The King of Qin couldn't help laughing, "My Ying Er is very cute, but more because you are the smartest. No matter what you don't understand, you can understand it at a glance. The state affairs on weekdays are enough to make me up, so how can I still have the energy to tease you kids? Only you are different. Everything is clear at a glance, and occasionally you can share some state affairs on behalf of me, which is really worry-free."

"It turns out that the father likes to let Ying Er be by his side because he can be lazy?"

Ying Ying deliberately pretended to be cute in front of the King of Qin and started to make a joke with the King of Qin. The followers next to him naturally retreated and opened some distance.

Today's matter is definitely not small, and the king has always been unpredictable. Do you know if the king will get angry because of this. So no one dares to approach except Ying Ying. Now seeing the Ninth Princess coaxing the king happily, they can be half of their care.

The palace city of Qin was not too big, so soon Ying Ying and the King of Qin arrived at the place where they rested in the harem. The King of Qin had something to deal with, so he asked Ying Ying: "Okay, the father still has state affairs to deal with. Ying Er should go to rest if there is no other thing."

Ying Ying did not leave, but said, "I really forgot if my father didn't mention it. Tianyou had tried to make a psionic gun in Zixiao Palace before, and brought some back to his daughter for testing this time. It really played a big role."

The King of Qin knew that Tianyou was a talented person, so he did not respond much to the news. Instead, he was a little curious about what Ying Ying was asking him for. Even if he wanted to give the reward, he should submit it together when reporting his achievements. There is no need to take it out separately and report it again. He couldn't figure it out and asked directly: "Tianyou is a talented person, but why is Ying'er asking now?"

"Actually, that's it." Ying Ying explained: "This batch of psychic guns is not all designed by Tianyou, and there are also some productions of Zhenyuan Shangxian. Tianyou only told Zhenyuan Shangxian that he brought them back for us to test. After Tianyou learned the production method, he could make them separately for us. However, this thing cannot be considered Tianyou now, so the national fortune mission must be completed and the original number must be brought back."

"Has the thing been stolen?" King Qin immediately guessed why Ying Ying had to report the matter alone.

Ying Ying nodded first, then shook her head. "It can't be considered stealing, I just used some means to get some over."

"Do you know where the thing is?" The King of Qin immediately heard the implicit meaning in Ying Ying's words.

Ying Ying nodded. "That's why I asked you to come to your father. It would be a good idea if I came forward at this time. It would be better for my father to send a message over."

The King of Qin nodded. "You are right. You can't affect the view of Zhenyuan Shangxian's view of Tianyou because of this little thing. I'll deal with this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

The purpose of the arrangement of Pang Dahai to sell spiritual guns was here. The Qin king's sons fought for the throne, which was a ancestral system, which could not be changed, and it also ensured that the successor prince would not be mediocre. However, although the ancestral system required the ancestral system to fight for the throne, internal struggle was strictly prohibited. That is to say, the internal efforts can only be achieved by the results of political affairs, and the people cannot be attacked. Of course, in fact, this is empty talk and basically cannot be done. But not being able to do it does not mean that you can do it openly.

Ying Ying used Tianyou's spiritual gun to pit Ying Hai and Ying Yang as a secret move. They had to pinch their noses and accept it after suffering losses. But the poaching incident that Ying Ying now exposes is to put the matter on the table, and the secret move is to be caught by someone. When encountering such a thing, the King of Qin will help the ruler without hesitation. This is also his main job in this battle for the throne, which is to be a good supervisor and referee. But his ultimate goal is not to make everyone fair and just, but to choose the most capable child.

The King of Qin actually knew that this was a trick between Ying Ying and Ying Hai, but Ying Ying was not caught, but Ying Hai exposed her tail. So the King of Qin could only choose to help Ying Ying instead of Ying Hai. This is his duty as the referee of this competition.

After writing the report, Ying Ying retreated and left, instead of going to meet Tianyou and the others, she started wandering around the royal city and surrounding areas with her maid and several carts of silver ingots.

The national destiny mission seems to be just a practical exercise between countries, and it has little impact on ordinary people, but for those participating in the war, it is a real battle and must be fought with their lives. Therefore, the dead will definitely exist, and the number will not be too small.

Ying Ying did not rush to celebrate with everyone, but immediately pulled Yinliang to send pensions to comfort the family after she was idle. Those who died were naturally extremely painful, but fortunately, there were many children and many blessings in the Shenzhou Continent. If they could afford it, the family would usually not have only one or two children. In contrast, even if one or two died, they would not have completely lost hope like the one on earth.

Of course, the death of a family is always painful. Ying Ying's condolences may not help them reduce their pain, but at least they can make their lives easier.

After giving the pension, Ying Ying didn't leave immediately. Usually she would say some comfort to the family at her doorstep, and would directly manage the local area before leaving. Usually, the village elders would say hello to others, so that they could help more families with children who had their children sacrificed. Of course, the local village elders would not be embarrassed. After all, no matter whether it was a military sacrifice or a princess' instructions, no one could be taken slowly.

The national destiny mission is no more than a head-on conflict. No matter how tragic the number of casualties is, there will be no large number of casualties. Ying Ying spent three days running all these families, and during this period he went to several military camps to commend them. Of course, the military camp is not a place where Ying Ying can go casually with her official identity. This is also the one she asked for an order from the King of Qin to commend it, and it is also the name of the King of Qin. After all, although the throne is open, the King of Qin cannot allow them to control the country's army in advance. As for the private army, it is for them to practice. First, the direct managers are all from the King of Qin, and second, there are not many people, and even if they want to do something, they can't make a fortune.

Compared to Ying Ying's busyness, Ying Hai and Ying Yang are not idle at all, but their situation is very different from that of the sister Ying Ying.

Ying Yang is too young and has no outstanding abilities, so there are very few supporters. He can only run to the ministers' houses with gifts, and they usually receive them politely on the surface. When he hints about something, the other party starts to play Tai Chi, which makes him angry every time. However, this kid is worthy of being born in the imperial family. At a young age, he is tenacious. He is repeatedly frustrated but becomes more and more courageous as he fights. When he is angry, he will get angry at his servants and turn around to continue to join the next family.

Compared to Ying Yang's inconspicuousness, Ying Hai is much better in this regard. After all, he is a big prince. He is a little calmer when he is older. He has a certain team, so he doesn't have to be shameless to visit him from house to house. However, there are still many guests in Ying Hai's mansion these days, and the banquet is almost in full swing. The officials who support him are so diligent.

However, this kind of banquet is not entirely used to connect with the relationship between old subordinates. Some officials loyal to Ying Hai will also bring some new faces to the banquet, which is actually poaching people for Ying Hai. Of course, coming does not mean that it will be effective. This is just like introducing a partner to young people. Everyone comes out to have a meal first to meet them. Whether it will succeed depends on how they will be discussed later.

Although Ying Ying has been busy sending warmth these days, she knows clearly what her two brothers did. It is no exaggeration to say that at least two digits among the servants in her two brothers' houses are her eyes and ears, and even some of the officials around her were arranged to spy on her intelligence.

In terms of political and intellectual struggle, Ying Ying’s two brothers are really not on the same level as her. Otherwise, Ying Ying’s call for Qin would not be so high.

Compared to Ying Hai and the others busy holding banquets, Ying Ying was not busy gathering everyone to eat and drink, but was more popular, because everyone who followed Ying Ying knew that this was a wise master of the practical type. So the more she did this, the more relieved the officials who were willing to be loyal to them. For nothing else, at least her boss knew the priorities.

Of course, after Ying Ying’s condolences are completed, the final celebration meeting is also indispensable. But she will not hold it for three or four days, but will only hold it once, and after the official investigation results of the King of Qin came out.

The area of ​​the ten countries in Shenzhou is not as large as the ancient Chinese on Earth, and it is a centralized country, so as long as it is not the kind of government orders that involve too much interests, it is relatively fast to implement them.

What Xiao Bihe and others have been investigated clearly in the past few days, and some of the matters about the drawing of the monks from the Tang Dynasty's direction caused a large number of casualties and losses of a large number of gold bricks were highlighted.

After reading the memorial, the King of Qin called Ying Hai alone to the study room and drove away all the servants. The father and son stayed in the study room for a quarter of an hour before they came out. No one knew what the two said, but it was not a good thing. Especially Ying Hai deliberately shrank his neck and tried to use the red slap prints covered with the flipped collar to illustrate the problem.

After scolding Ying Hai, the King of Qin held another celebration as he said, but the regulations changed. This time it turned into a banquet, not a formal commendation meeting, nor did it have a stage of offering gold bricks. After all, it had already been offered once before.

The atmosphere of this conference was very good. Everyone ate and drank, and by the way, the King of Qin commended the meritorious ministers. The format was not as serious as a regular ceremony. In addition to being larger, it felt like a family banquet.

There were quite a lot of rewards from Ying Hai's group, only Xiao Bihe, Wei Dahu, Wei Erhu and other major team members were beaten, but they were criticized without any benefit. However, the King of Qin did not punish them in the end, for many reasons. First, the national destiny task was not a compulsory task, so even if there was a mistake, the King of Qin did not take any ruthless position. Second, Xiao Bihe had Xiao Tiande's face, and it was already very sad that he was scolded by the reward and was scolded by the order. The King of Qin was not good at doing any actual punishment.

As for the two brothers of the Wei family, it is not easy to start. These two are not formally organized by Qin State, but helpers recruited by Ying Hai, and people who lose to Rangers can also be understood as modern mercenaries. For such people, if they fail to complete the task, you will not cooperate after deducting money and punishing them... it doesn't exist. If it weren't for their lack of understanding of the rules, the fact that they had previously been able to do the stern at the celebration meeting could have been completely avoided.

No matter what, these two people cannot punish them harshly, so they just deduct the reward. As for those ordinary monks, they acted as orders. Even if they followed the wrong team, they were doing things for Qin State, so the rewards were still paid, but the share was not as large as those of Ying Ying. After all, they didn't do things well, so they thought it was reasonable for them to give them less benefits.

When it was Tianyou and his team's turn, the rewards would be different immediately. They were real rewards, which were different from the consolation prizes received by the monks from Ying Hai.

"You said that you suddenly made such a wonderful achievement, how should you reward you with the Lone King?" Because the banquet was not very formal, the King of Qin did not act as an air. In addition, he had the intention of being close to him, so he spoke casually, as if his elders were joking with his nephews.

Tianyou naturally smiled and said, "Everything depends on the king, Tianyou is not greedy."

"Hahaha, you can speak." After laughing, the King of Qin began to ponder.

To be honest, King Qin had actually thought about how to reward Tianyou, but now he really didn't think about what to reward. This time, the number of gold bricks brought back due to Tianyou's contribution is really too many. I don't know if there are any visitors in the future, and it is true that it is unprecedented. So King Qin really couldn't think of any reward for a while, and there were no examples to refer to before.

However, the King of Qin was also smart, so he simply kicked the ball back and asked Tianyou: "The rewards in previous years were all determined by the Lone, and I could not fully grasp the needs of those monks. It is inevitable that some rewards are not useful, and you still need to exchange them yourself. Since your contributions are so great this time, as an additional reward, the Lone King allows you to make your own requests. What do you need? How can the Lone King reward you according to your contributions?"

This kind of thing is actually not a good thing for those who receive the reward, because the king can reward you but cannot ask for it. So if the rewarded person makes a request, it will be difficult to speak. But Tianyou doesn't care about this. There are only a few reasons for his coming to participate in the Qin State's national destiny mission. One is that he is considered a Qin person, and it is not appropriate not to come. The other is to help Ying Ying. As for rewards and other things... that's just by the way. With the big tree of Zhenyuan Shangxian by his side, Tianyou cannot be said to be rich, but he really does not lack any rewards.

Of course, Tianyou did not intend to give up his reward, because there was something that he had to nod.

Ying Ying and the others naturally understood what Tianyou could figure out. After hearing what the King of Qin said, Ying Ying immediately wanted to help him speak for the benefit, but unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, Tianyou spoke first.

"Actually, Tianyou really has a reluctant request. I hope the king will agree. As long as the king agrees to this request, you can give some other rewards at will. Tianyou will definitely be grateful."

Tianyou said that everyone around him was stunned for a moment. Because Tianyou had never asked anyone for anything, both the King of Qin and the people on Ying Ying were a little confused. But at this point, the King of Qin could only listen first.

"It doesn't matter what you ask for. If you can answer the Lord, you will not refuse. If it is too much, I will not blame you. You can ask you to make a new request."

"Thank you, the king." Tianyou responded, and then said, "Then, Tianyou begs the king to allow Tianyou to sleep in the Taimiao vault for one night."

"You want to sleep in the Taimiao Vault for one night?" The King of Qin was obviously surprised. It was not that this request was difficult to achieve, but that it was too puzzling.

The treasury in the Taimiao is of course a vault for storing national fortune bricks. If it is important, it is really very important. After all, it is related to the fortune of a country and a place. But if it is useless, it is really useless to ordinary people. The gold bricks in the Taimiao are not cast by gold, and they cannot buy things and have no practical value. Even the appearance is dark and it is impossible to be used as decorations. Moreover, the fortune of humanitarian gold bricks needs to be run with a large array, so it can only be put in the Taimiao to be effective. It is really useless if ordinary people take it. Of course, if it is stolen and sold to other countries, it is a different matter. However, even the treasury is not enough to grab a few pieces in the national fortune task. It is simply a dream to just take out the gold bricks from the national treasury and transport them abroad.

Tianyou wanted to spend a night in the Taimiao vault, and this requirement was unheard of. The key is that everyone couldn't understand what he was trying to do. You said that this gold brick was not a beauty, what did you mean to go to the vault for a sleep? But if you want to say that he had other ideas... First, the reason was not reasonable, and secondly, it was impossible to do it. After all, even if he was allowed to enter, the King of Qin would not be completely unprepared. This gold brick could not be put into space equipment, and it was still dead and sank. It was not small in size, and you had no place to hide without searching.

It is precisely because I can't understand Tianyou's intention that this requirement is even more strange.

After thinking about it, the King of Qin couldn't help but ask: "Although the gold bricks are a powerful weapon for the country, they are useless to others. The Lone King really couldn't think of anything else to like about this thing, but why do you have to spend the night in the vault?"
To be continued...
