Chapter 405: Considerable
Wei Guo, Pingluan Mountain.
Xiao Rongyan was invited to come to the Pingluan Mountain Palace of the King of Xihuai, where he drank and had fun with a group of nobles and relatives from the Great Wei Dynasty.
King Xihuai is the most beloved younger brother of Emperor Wei's mother and compatriots. He probably likes to have fun, be a wealthy idler and is very loyal to Emperor Wei. Emperor Wei indulges this younger brother in every possible way.
The thing that King Xihuai liked most in his life was drinking wine and reciting poems with gentlemen.
Xiao Rongyan is extremely talented, and is the world's most wealthy businessman, living a life of extravagance and desire, and Xihuai Wang is a fellow man, both of them are proficient in pleasure, and their lives are also luxurious, so they have become best friends.
When King Xihuai learned that Xiao Rongyan had returned to his country, he hosted a banquet in the Tianlu Pavilion of the Pingluan Mountain Palace.
The Pingluan Mountain Palace was given to King Xihuai by the emperor on the birthday of King Xihuai, which shows how favored he is... even the prince can't match it.
Tianlu Pavilion is located at the highest point of the entire Pingluan Mountain Palace, and it was built by craftsmen specially after King Xihuai.
Tianlu Pavilion is supported by twenty-six solid beams inserted into the cliff, hanging in front of the cliff, and twelve thick and heavy pillars of golden lacquer and black sandalwood support the ceiling. There are no guardrails on the three sides before the cliff. The tall bronze crane lanterns flicker on and off, the white gauze curtains sway with the wind, and the sound of silk and bamboo is like fairy music. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain... I thought it was the place where gods live.
King Xihuai was wearing the white long gown that he had just come out of the hot spring, with the front of his clothes open and a wine bottle in his hand. It's full of a dreamlike blurred feeling, a real swinger.
Seeing Xiao Rongyan, who was also dressed in a white robe, sitting lazily on the cushion and drinking alone, was not in high spirits today, the drunk King Xihuai staggered to Xiao Rongyan and sat down beside Xiao Rongyan, hooked Xiao Rongyan's shoulders, and smiled. He said: "Why... are you not in a good mood today? Do you think the dancers are not beautiful enough? Or do you think the cold food is not delicate enough?"
Seeing that the five stones washed with fine wine were still scattered in front of Xiao Rongyan, King Xihuai's smile became more and more infatuated: "I don't even touch such a good thing..."
Xiao Rongyan picked up a peanut, rubbed the red clothes with one hand and threw it into the mouth, said rather irritatedly: "Our Dawei will attack Dayan in a few days, I know about this late, I am afraid that Dayan's business will not be withdrawn in time , once the war starts, the losses will be huge, annoying..."
King Xihuai laughed straight, "Is this even worth your troubles?"
"Since last year, I have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Nanyan to open Xiao's shop all over Nanyan. Who knows... Nanyan was taken back by Dayan, and I had to start all over again. Finally, we saw improvement. Wei Guo is going to attack Dayan again." Xiao Rongyan raised his wine glass and drank it down, "This year's fortune is really bad..."
"It's simple!" King Xihuai patted Xiao Rongyan's shoulder armor, "When our Great Wei takes Dayan City, you can do whatever you want with your business. Do not touch!"
"I'm from Wei, and our state of Wei attacked Dayan... Can Dayan let me do business? It's good not to kill the person who killed me!" Xiao Rongyan sighed, "Forget it, I'm not the one who only knows me. Interests, those who disregard the righteousness of the family and the country, lose it and lose it!"
"You and my dear friend, how can I watch you lose?" King Xihuai smiled and moved closer to Xiao Rongyan, "Don't worry, this battle... won't be fought so soon! You should act more neatly and get the business and business as soon as possible." Withdraw all your people, and wait until our Great Wei fights over to occupy the city, and then you go back again!"
"Wouldn't it be so soon?" Xiao Rongyan was quite puzzled. He moved closer to King Xihuai, "Doesn't it mean that the main force of Dayan is now in Rongdi, and this is not the best time for Wei Guo to attack Yan?"
King Xihuai shouldn't have discussed government affairs with Xiao Rongyan, but when he thought that the person in front of him was his best friend, he looked left and right, lowered his voice and said to Xiao Rongyan: "The general disagrees, and a new army suddenly appeared in Dayan earlier. , its general Xie Xun is brave and terrifying! The prime minister didn’t take the lead in the battle, he was afraid that Dayan’s main force seemed to be in Rongdi, but in fact he was hiding his strength for other purposes, so my emperor brother ordered soldiers to press down on the border to test it out!”
Xiao Rongyan nodded.
"Who knows..." King Xihuai lowered his voice a bit, "Who knows, that Dayan looks normal during the day, but our spies heard the sound of horseshoes at night, and in the valleys within Dayan territory, every At night, the smoke billows from the kitchen, fearing that the Great Yan is hiding soldiers in it, waiting for our Wei State to go... It’s like catching a turtle in the urn, and now the prime minister and the general have sent people to investigate, and we have to wait for the results to be sent back before we know whether we can fight."
Xiao Rongyan suddenly sat up straight and looked at King Xihuai: "Speaking of this, Yan... suddenly remembered something, the prince knew that I was trapped in Nanyan before, and the people around the prince of Dayan Jiu had purchased a large amount of iron from me. And weapons, the batch of iron and weapons I transported in the territory of Jin State is not too large, nor too small. I originally thought that Jin State and Nanyan Xiliang would go to war, and if they were sold to Pingcheng, they would definitely fetch a good price. Who knows? The one who bought it at a high price turned out to be a member of Dayan!"
King Xihuai tightened his grip on the wine glass, sobered up a lot: "If you want iron and weapons, it means you have soldiers..."
"I don't know about this Yan, and it will continue one after another...Yan sent a lot of iron ore and weapons to Dayan, and cooperated with the counselors of the Prince's Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, and the five-five points... In this way, Yan also made a lot of money, and the profit was very high." It's impressive." Xiao Rongyan continued.
King Xihuai's heart skipped a beat, and he made a lot of money at five to five cents, so how high would that be?
It is not a good omen that Dayan is willing to spend a lot of money to seek iron. Maybe there are soldiers hidden in Dayan Mountain, just like the elite team led by Dayan Xie Xun.
Thinking of this, King Xihuai sat up straight and said, "I have to go to the palace..."
Xiao Rongyan persuaded: "But... Dayan's purchase of iron does not necessarily mean that it is used in the army, or... farm tools? It is not inappropriate for the prince to enter the palace in such a hurry to talk to His Majesty about it."
"You're so uncertain, I'd better go to the palace and tell Brother Huang! After all...if something happens to Da Wei, I won't have such a luxurious and unrestrained life!"
Xihuai Wang Guizai was the most self-aware, he drank all the wine in the wine bottle, got up and asked the maid to change his clothes and immediately entered the palace.
Yue Shi waited quietly for Xiao Rongyan under the plank road of Tianlu Pavilion, and soon saw Xiao Rongyan, who was drunk, being carried down by the servants of King Xihuai on his shoulders.
Yue Shi hastily stepped forward to help Xiao Rongyan up from the ground shoulder: "Master!"
"Yueshi..." Xiao Rongyan smiled foolishly.
"It's a subordinate!" Yue Shi helped Xiao Rongyan into the carriage, and bid farewell to the steward of Prince Xihuai's residence.
There is one more! Come back later! The little ancestors go to bed first... wake up and watch!
