Chapter 1320 Taking refuge
Inside the Jiankang Palace, Yang Guang was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting lazily on the dragon throne.

Everyone here belongs to him, so he feels at ease and comfortable sitting here.

This matter could be big or small. If it was spread and made into a fuss, Yang Guang would most likely be ruined, and at least have to reflect on his mistakes for a year. But they were all his own people, and at this time Yang Guang was still very wise and powerful, and he had a good control over his subordinates.

"No news about the rat hiding in the dark?" Yang Guang asked impatiently.

"Your Highness, we can't find him. He hid himself too well and was very skilled in martial arts. He knocked out dozens of us these past two days and openly took the food prepared by our soldiers. We searched the entire palace twice, inside and out, but there was no trace of him at all."

"Where is Xiao Mei Niang?"

“…I didn’t find it either.”

"The palace is so small, and you can't even do such a small thing. What are you doing? Huh?" Yang Guang glanced at his frightened subordinates, but did not blame them too much. He waved his hand casually, told them to get lost, and continued to eat fruit boredly on the dragon throne.

A little later, the man came in again and said, "Your Highness, both of them have been found. They are outside the palace and said they want to seek refuge with Your Highness."

"Oh? Bring it in so I can take a look."

Yang Guang became interested, sat up straight, and looked at Wang Yan and Xiao Mei who walked in from outside with a smile.

His eyes lingered on Xiao Mei's face, then scanned her body up and down, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Mei's hand holding Wang Yan's arm. He couldn't help but frowned and looked at Wang Yan, who was dressed as a soldier.

"Who are you here? Why don't you bow to me when you see me?" He looked at me with a sharp gaze.

But Wang Yan was not scared. He looked straight at Yang Guang and then cupped his hands. "I am Wang Yan, a soldier guarding the city of Chen. I wanted to find an opportunity to escape with my beauty, but I was trapped. When I was guarding the city gate, I also heard my fellow soldiers talking about it. They all said that Your Highness the Prince of Jin is a man of great talent and strategy, and can accomplish great things.

"I saw you today and you are so handsome and majestic, you look like an emperor. I am willing to be your pioneer and help you achieve great things and build great achievements, so that you can become an emperor of all ages and be famous for generations to come."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Guang laughed so hard that he even coughed. After a long while, he said, "How dare you, a small defeated soldier, make such a boast? Do you really think that you can do things for others just because you know a few words and have read a few books? Wang Yan, right? Come on, tell me what you can do."

"I can fight and kill, but as for other things, it depends on your Highness the Prince of Jin's orders. As for planning, I see that your Highness is very excited and will not be willing to let others take over the famous position of the Nine Provinces. Now that the State of Chen has been destroyed and the world is at peace, there are still the Turks outside, and the big clans inside. Your Highness has three urgent matters.

First, cultivate your reputation and win the hearts of talented people. Second, target the crown prince, undermine his reputation and destroy his favor. Third, build achievements. Your Highness must establish greater merits, be lenient to the soldiers, and win the hearts of the soldiers. In this way, you can expect to win the throne. "

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, but he began to take Wang Yan more seriously.

Because a small soldier has such profound thoughts, insights, and logical analysis, he can be said to be a talent at this time. I don’t know whether he can be reused, but at least he can be used.

He stood up and walked down the steps, but he was still more than ten meters away from Wang Yan. He looked at Wang Yan with some surprise: "Tell me in detail, how to raise your reputation, how to discredit, and how to achieve success?"

"It is nothing more than being frugal, respectful to the wise and humble, befriending the court officials, and helping the widowed, the old and the young. These are the virtues of a sage monarch. Slandering the prince is the opposite of what Your Highness has done. Your Highness prospered while the prince declined. After a long period of management, the prince naturally lost the favor of the emperor and the hearts of his subjects. As for building achievements, it is better to attack the Turks. Carving the stone at Yanran and sealing the Wolf's Lair, Your Highness's martial arts were so great that the throne belonged to You."

"Well said! Well said! I didn't expect a small soldier like you to have such insight."

Wang Yan smiled back and said nothing.

After laughing for a while, Yang Guang suddenly changed his expression, looking gloomy: "What if you kill my soldiers?"

"It is the time to win people's hearts. Your Highness has countless gold and silver, which are inexhaustible. Your Highness treats the families of these soldiers well. The other soldiers see it and remember it in their hearts. How can they not work hard for Your Highness?"

"Hahaha……"

Yang Guang had a dog-like face and he started laughing again, as if he admired Wang Yan very much, but he still did not get any closer to Wang Yan.

He did not deny what Wang Yan said about being able to fight and kill, and that he killed a whole team of his men alone. The key point was that these soldiers were wearing armor and were elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. Wang Yan was not injured, and there was no greater movement. It was discovered by other teams during patrol. This showed that Wang Yan's martial arts skills were extremely high. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. He understood this principle.

However, in Wang Yan's opinion, all of this was very low-level and far from the standard.

People in ancient times matured early. Yang Guang was now 20 years old. Born in a wealthy family, he watched his father successfully usurp the throne and was exposed to various power struggles. But in the final analysis, he was still very immature.

He deliberately imitated the adults, acting moody and speaking loudly, so that his subordinates could not figure out his thoughts and fear him.

This is his way of protecting himself. It is a common problem among those in high positions. They lack a sense of security and spend every day calculating against people in their little notebooks.

But Yang Guang was still immature and had a long way to go.

"You are indeed a man of insight." Yang Guang said with a smile, "You are indeed a genius. This king values ​​wise and talented people the most. In this case, you can be a guest in my Jin Palace first. When the affairs of Chen State are settled, come back to Daxing with me and make other arrangements."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Come on, arrange for the couple to stay in the side hall and serve them."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Yan cupped his hands, "Your Highness, we both have some valuables..."

Yang Guang glanced at Xiao Mei, who was standing quietly beside Wang Yan without saying a word. He understood that all the wealth was accumulated by Xiao Mei over the years, and Wang Yan, a mere soldier, had no money or valuables.

"They all belong to you and your wife. Just arrange for someone to move them." He waved his hand with great generosity, "Go ahead, go ahead. I think you haven't had enough rest recently. There's nothing urgent right now. You and your wife should take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wang Yan bowed again, then followed Xiao Mei and followed Yang Guang's men out, recruited a team of soldiers, went to the secret room, and moved out all the things that Xiao Mei had accumulated over the years.

The soldiers who came over were jealous, but no one dared to do anything. However, Wang Yan was always a good person, so he still gave everyone some sweet treats.

This amount of money was nothing to Yang Guang, so he wouldn't care. Wang Yan certainly didn't care about a little money, but Xiao Mei was reluctant to part with it.

Before leaving the secret room in the morning, Xiao Mei wanted to take everything away. Maybe there was only so much she could take away, so she kept changing things back and forth. She mainly took things like jewelry, which were all made by skilled craftsmen. The aesthetics and craftsmanship were absolutely top-notch. Women all like these things.

Xiao Mei was used to extravagance, and usually didn't think much of it. But now that she was about to leave, and couldn't take much with her, the past scenery came flooding back, and she felt uncomfortable.

Of course, on the other hand, with this money, even if you have the initial capital, there is no need to spend time studying the first pot of gold.

Even though it was very chaotic at that time, Wang Yan could find a well-known family to rob and the money would come out, but it would be best to avoid trouble and waste less energy.

After all this trouble, the room was cleaned up, and Wang Yan and Xiao Mei sat on stools and drank honey water.

"My dear, do you think Yang Guang really wants to recruit us?"

"Definitely not." Wang Yan smiled, "It's just because what I said was quite pleasant to hear, and my fighting power is indeed superb, much greater than the group of soldiers I killed. He just made a move casually, and he doesn't know when to use it. He doesn't care about those soldiers, nor does he care about me. When I was talking before, didn't I see that he didn't come within three feet of me, and the guards in the palace were also on full alert? They were guarding against me."

"Does that work?"

"It's no use. I want to kill him. It's easy."

"It's better not to kill him, so that we can use him to develop our power." Xiao Mei said, "I thought Yang Guang would covet my body, but I didn't expect that he only glanced at me at the beginning, and then he never looked at me straight in the eye." Wang Yan glanced at her and said, "It's not that he didn't like you, Yang Guang is also a lustful person. His subordinates are looking for you by name, but he never mentioned it when he saw you. It's just that he is sober now, waiting to see how capable I am."

Xiao Mei was really good, but what was even better was the secret tryst. It was just that he came a little early, and just as he said, he wanted a woman to sleep with for a long time. He really didn't have the hobby of giving women to others to play with. He liked to play with others, and he definitely didn't want others to play with him.

Mr. Wang has always been very double-standard...

But it is important that he knows that he has double standards.

"My dear, if we make a mistake at this moment, we will both be dead. You must use whatever abilities you have."

"You have to have a chance to show your talents." Wang Yan consoled with a smile, "Don't be impatient. We are only eighteen years old. There is still a long time to go. Don't rush for success. The best strategy is to take it slow."

"I still have some connections with the former members of the Chen State. I just heard that many of them surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Perhaps we can make some connections in the future."

"Don't get involved with them."

Wang Yan shook his head. "They won't live long. After destroying Chen, the most important thing to deal with is these former surrendered generals, as well as the big families that you mentioned. Yang Jian was able to become the emperor and establish the foundation of Sui. He must be a man of great talent and strategy. How could he not see these problems? He must take action.

The people of Chen State are insignificant. They were powerless when they had a large army. Now that their power has fallen, what kind of trouble can a rat in the gutter cause? If you rely on them, you and I will die quickly. "

Xiao Mei thought about it for a moment and nodded, "My Lord, what you said makes sense, but there is still some connection. After all, they are all people in power and can still help us with some things."

"We'll discuss this later."

"So how do you plan to accumulate strength? You should make plans early."

Xiao Mei is really serious about the rebellion, and she likes this kind of exciting thing very much.

Wang Yan took a sip of water and said with a smile, "We are using Yang Guang's name to do business all over the world. First, we can save money and food. Second, we can also find talents from all over the world to use. Third, the caravan needs a lot of strong men to travel around the world, and these are the soldiers we can use. Then we can use money to open the way and bribe the central and local officials. In this way, we can wait for the times to change. When the times change, we will rise up, and with one call, hundreds of people will respond, and the Yang and Sui dynasties will be destroyed."

"My dear, you should know that if you don't keep it secret, it will fail. Aren't you afraid that I will tell on you?"

"Will you tell on me?"

"That's hard to say." Xiao Mei stood up and sat in Wang Yan's arms.

Wang Yan naturally reached his hand into his inner garment and said, "It's okay to tell on someone. Now that the army is besieging the city, I can still escape. As long as I am still useful, I will have a chance. But you and I are one. We will rise and fall together. I believe you will not tell on someone. And don't you realize that you prefer to rebel than to be someone's concubine?"

Xiao Mei hugged Wang Yan tightly.

"My lord is right. I used to live in the deep palace for a long time, always scheming against other concubines, which was very boring. The other day, when I heard my lord say that he was going to accomplish something big, my mind and body were shaken, and my heart was beating fast. I know that this is what I want."

She kissed Wang Yan's face, her breath sweet as orchid, and said in a tender voice: "If it succeeds, I will be the queen. If it fails, you and I will die together, which will also be a perfect friendship."

"We can't control what happens after death. If things don't work out, I'm afraid he'll be torn into pieces and chopped into meat sauce and fed to dogs."

"Bah, stop saying these unlucky things. We will definitely succeed."

Wang Yan laughed, and then continued to build a relationship with Xiao Mei.

When people find their goals, they will become different. Originally, Xiao Mei didn't put her mind to the right place, which was not good. Wang Yan helped her correct it and gave her a sense of professionalism. With this sense of professionalism, the villain also became much more decent, which was very good.

Of course, it is very good for Wang Yan. On the one hand, he enjoys Xiao Mei's coquettishness and pleasure, and on the other hand, he has a virtuous wife to help him.

After all, Xiao Mei can use her mind in the right place. No matter how capable she is, she can always get things done...

After the activity, Wang Yan asked the soldiers outside to bring in the boiled water, and waited for Xiao Mei to take a comfortable bath. They had been hiding underground for the past few days, so water was still quite scarce. The two of them had been happy for several days, and they smelled a little bit of seafood, especially Wang Yan, who also had a little bit of blood.

I was used to being in the secret room and didn't feel anything. But when I got to the ground, breathed in the fresh air, and smelled the smell on my body, it was very uncomfortable.

After washing up, Xiao Mei changed into new clothes, and Wang Yan also changed into a black suit. He tied his hair up again and got a yellow jade hairpin from Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei likes colorful things, but it is understandable that dyeing cloth is a big problem in this era. The cloth must be dyed well, dyed correctly, and not hurt the skin. There is also the problem of color fading after years of starching and washing.

"am I pretty?"

Seeing Wang Yan looking at her with a smile, Xiao Mei stroked her face, raised her fingers, twisted her body, and started to flirt with him again.

"Beautiful! If you weren't beautiful, I would have run away long ago. Why would I still be here to serve Yang Guang? He doesn't trust us and has arranged guards outside. This is like putting us under house arrest."

"My dear, you are very capable. Don't worry. You will surely turn into a dragon when the storm comes." She came over again, went behind Wang Yan, and massaged his shoulders.

"What kind of business have you decided to start, sir?" she asked.

"Let's dye the cloth first. I just saw your colorful clothes. Once you're settled, find someone to do some research. I think the profits will be quite large."

“Dyeing cloth is not that easy.”

"It doesn't hurt to give it a try. Besides, we have Yang Guang, and salt trading is also a big way to make money. With money, there is food, and with money and food, there are soldiers. As long as we take steady steps, we will be able to do it soon."

"In my opinion, it would be better to buy more land and recruit some tenants. We can collect less rent and let the male tenants train. The local militias are the best soldiers. We also support their families. How dare they not use their lives?"

"As expected of you, you are a noble man. You think a lot. Then let's take multiple approaches and act simultaneously."

"You said I'm a noble lady." Xiao Mei hugged Wang Yan and put her face close to his. "Does it mean that I'm a noble lady, and you feel happy?"

"I meant that you are knowledgeable, not those messed up words. If you want to say that you are happy, why do you have to be like this, Princess Xiao?"

"Humph~"

Xiao Mei pouted and patted Wang Yan's shoulder lightly as if she was unhappy.

Wang Yan laughed and let Xiao Mei give him a massage.

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, someone came with exquisite wine and food, and a maid was sent to serve.

The waiter beside Yang Guang politely gestured outward to Wang Yan.

"Your Highness would like to invite Mr. Wang to a banquet. Please come."

Giving Xiao Mei a reassuring look, Wang Yan put his hands behind his back and walked out with the waiter...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
