Crown Jewels

Chapter 37

After wiping the corners of his lips, Huyan Uwei finally looked straight at himself, the old man who abandoned him since he was a child, heh, father.

"Khan came to me because of this—"

Huyan Wuwei got up suddenly, and stepped up to Huyan Modun's side.

With cool eyes, he looked into his father's eyes.

That gaze was too aggressive, and it seemed like a sharp knife, clearly revealing the complexity of his heart.

Huyan Maodun shrank his pupils, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

"more than!"

"Let me ask you, where did the thousand taels of silver go in the account, and who allowed you to embezzle it without authorization—"

As the last words came out, Huyan Modun couldn't hold back anymore.

The golden cup and wine vessel on the table fell to the ground, crackling and ding-dong.

The carpet was soaked into pieces, and the burnt roasted whole lamb was scattered.

Seeing the mess of the house, Huyan's breathlessness was finally calmed down.

However, the stern voice in the curtain did not make Huyan Uwei in front of him look up.

The tent was dead silent.

He just quietly wiped the dagger in his hand.

When the sound of the clashing cups subsided, he raised his eyes slowly and let him know in a non-enthusiastic tone.

"The difference between our Turks and the Yan Kingdom on the battlefield is nothing but firecrackers and cannons that can turn the tide of the battle."

"Your money will naturally be spent here—"

Seemingly finding it interesting, Huyan Uwei finally raised his eyes, looked at the person opposite, and suddenly curled his lips into a sneer, his appearance revealing some sarcasm.

"The country of Yan is only governed by women!"

"Father has been trembling all these years, and has always bowed his head at the woman's knees, since this is the case—"

Huyan Uwei raised his eyes, his expression was more serious.

"What you can't do, how can your son do it for you?"

"You—you, Nizi!"

Aware of the contempt in Huyan Uwei's eyes, Huyan Maodun covered his chest, swallowed his breath and said:

"Uwe, don't think that the country of Yan is the same as those down-and-out tribes you subdued these days."

"That's right!"

Huyan Uwei took a deep breath, his eyes mixed with unwillingness and complexity.

"I, Huyan Modun, do bow down to her Yan Guo!"

"But have you ever thought that if you bought hundreds of guns with a thousand taels of silver, you can buy a complete, secure and tightly controlled firearms production line like that of Yan Kingdom?"

"My Turks are not as rich as Yan, this is the truth!"

"You'd better keep your eyes open for me, don't try to get what you don't deserve!"

You are not worthy of these three words, like a storm that disturbs the calm and stirs up waves.

Huyan Uwei's indifference finally tore off, and he threw the dagger in his hand viciously.

The dagger collided with the gold, and the ear-piercing neighing made the air tight.

The cold light reflected by the dagger shot into Huyan Uwei's eyes, soaking up the whole piece of coldness.

"Sweat—"

"You are old!"

"Heh, people, don't be disobedient."

"After half a year, when I return from paying tribute to the Kingdom of Yan on behalf of the Turks, you should abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"

Huyan Modu looked at the other side with a calm tone, as if to inform his son.

He squinted slightly.Looking closely at Nizi who was full of rebellion, he squeezed out two words after a while.

"dream!"

"dream?"

Huyan Uwei snorted, holding those two words with the tip of his tongue, seeming to find it inconceivable.

But the moment he looked at Huyan Modun, his eyes were full of insidious and malicious playfulness.

"Didn't the Great Khan ask me, where is your eldest prince?"

Sensing the concern and emotion in shouted eyes, Huyan Uwei spit out two words.

The coldness is on full display.

"killed--"

Seeing Huyan Maodun swaying, he was trembling with anger, his eyes revealed disbelief.

Huyan Uwei said comforting words in a good mood:
"Khan, don't be sad, the eldest prince is dead, don't you still have six sons?"

"you you--"

Hu Yanmao suddenly fell to the ground, an old panic finally appeared on his face.

With cool eyes, Huyan Uwei picked up the dagger on the ground, put it in the scabbard around his waist, and threatened the old Khan by his ear:

"If you don't know how to praise and don't obediently abdicate, then let the other five sons go down to accompany eldest brother."

After finishing speaking, Huyan Uwei didn't bother to pay attention to the people in the curtain, and directly lifted the curtain and came out.

Looking at the tall and strong waiter beside Hou, his eagle-eyed micro-mind, he said unwillingly for a long while:
"Kub, I don't think, how strong can a country ruled by women be?"

The waiter waited quietly, and after hearing the words, he prostrated again and again, with his head lowered, and his posture became more humble and respectful

"Go! I want all the information about Yan Kingdom Chaotang—"

Huyan Uwei stood with his hands behind his back, his gloomy face was dark.

With his eyes locked on the black shadow on the ground, he thought for a while and then said:

"Within three days - I want to get in touch with the batch of masterwork we cultivated in Yan Country..."

Time is like light sand in the hands, flowing gently like you can't hold it.

Soon it will be August.

There is still half a month left, which is the annual autumn sacrifice of Huangu Academy.

……

It was the beginning of August, and the academy had already invited part-time workers to clean the house and lay the chairs and stools in advance.

At the same time, the incense table and candlesticks in Guiren Hall and Delin Temple were also thoroughly cleaned.

Everything is in order and busy.

Song Yan and Fu Sinian were summoned by the head of the mountain, Lu Jiuxi, as soon as they finished class at Jingyizhai.

When they arrived at Zangshu Pavilion, they realized that Gu Baozhu, Shen Lanqing, and Qi Yuan, the head of the house who had brought them over, were all in the house at the moment.

After Song Yan greeted Lu Jiuxi, he nodded to Qi Yuan in front of him.

Then his gaze moved away, passing over Gu Baozhu's rosy lips, and silently retracted.

As expected by a few people, the sacrifice of the Academy is coming soon, and the four of them were selected as Dian Ye, and they appeared here at the same time.

What the mountain chief Lu Jiuxi wanted to explain was certainly related to this.

Academy sacrifices are a major event.

This year is even more grand!

Empress Gu Jun just set up a women's school in Minglun Hall this year, and everyone guessed it right.

This year's autumn festival, His Majesty will come in person!
On the one hand, remember the sages;

On the other hand, it is natural to want to actually investigate how the women's school run by the ancient academy is.

Compared with the four people present, Qi Yuan entered the Huangu Academy earlier, and was also selected as Dian Ye.

Therefore, the meaning of the head of the mountain is to ask him to help, to teach Song Yan and others some experience.

Xun Xun's teaching voice came, and it sounded warm and pleasant.

"So... the four of you will be careful at that time!"

"Conscientiously do your things well, and don't lose your manners in front of the palace."

"If your majesty asks something, just reply truthfully, don't be nervous. Do you remember everything?"

"remember!"

Several people bowed in unison to reply.

Lu Jiuxi glanced over the four of them, and saw that they were all elegant, courteous, nodding with satisfaction and smiling.

"Alright, Qi Yuan, I will hand over the four of them to you!"

Sensing the trust in Shan Chang's eyes, Qi Yuan's peach blossoms restrained their smiles, his brows and eyes were serious, and he seriously agreed.

Lu Jiuxi looked at Qi Yuan, feeling very relieved.

When he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of a woman beside him standing quietly in the corner, her eyes as calm as a distant mountain.

Sighing inwardly, Lu Jiuxi finally gave his orders.

"The three of you go out first, and Shen Lanqing stays behind. I still have some things to tell you alone."
