Fish swimming around the world

Liu An's face was pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly, but he dared not say another word.

Zhao Gao picked him up and said, "Lead the way!"

Liu An was shaking all over, as if he had lost his soul, and could only let Zhao Gao drag him forward.

Finally, in a corner, a small arch came into Jiang Fan's sight.

This small door was very inconspicuous, but it was made of black iron and locked, as if it had not been opened for a long time.

Above the small door, four words were engraved in a mottled manner - Jiuli Courtyard.

Jiang Fan's mouth curled up a faint arc.

Jiuli Courtyard... Interesting name...

"Open it." Zhao Gao ordered.

Liu An cried: "Eunuch Zhao, I don't have the key to this courtyard."

Zhao Gao's expression was also a little moved. Although he knew that Jiang Fan's order could not be resisted in any case, he was still a little afraid of this emperor.

"Your Highness, this courtyard is inconspicuous, there shouldn't be anything to see. Besides, what Eunuch Liu said makes sense, after all, it's a courtyard..."

Jiang Fan glanced at him indifferently, Zhao Gao swallowed his words and called a golden-armored warrior over: "Open the door."

The warrior went up and cut the door lock with a knife. Seeing Jiang Fan stepping in, Liu An outside the door seemed to have his bones pulled out, fell to the ground, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "It's over, it's over... The emperor must peel my skin off..."

Zhao Gao leaned over and whispered: "Stupid, it's better to die later than to die immediately."

After that, he walked into Jiuli Courtyard.

In the courtyard, Jiang Fan was standing and staring at a statue in a trance.

It was a strange beast, round and round, with two huge dark circles under his eyes, looking ferocious, but with an indescribable naivety.

Seeing him staring for a long time, Zhao Gao was puzzled, and took a small step forward and whispered: "Prince?"

Jiang Fan came back to his senses and showed a strange smile.

"... Jiuli, it's a bit interesting."

Zhao Gao didn't seem to understand: "Prince, let's go inside and take a look?"

Jiang Fan stood there without moving, his eyes calm, as if thinking about something.

Zhao Gao naturally didn't dare to urge him. After a long time, Jiang Fan suddenly waved his hand: "Yes, it's a separate courtyard in a district. What's so good about it? Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Gao didn't understand what was going on, but he vaguely felt that there was something strange about this courtyard. Since the regent didn't investigate further, he was happy to be idle, so he quickly followed him out.

As he walked out, Jiang Fan ordered, "Tell the emperor that I, the witness, have taken over the Liyang Palace for the Princess Consort, and the other courtyard is also included. Please ask Gao Rong and his wife to express their gratitude in the near future."

How could Liu An dare to say no? He could only respond submissively.

Until Jiang Fan's procession left far away, he looked gloomy, staring at the carriage that was going away and said, "Ding Lang, immediately inform the emperor and the master that the Jiuli courtyard can't be saved."

An inconspicuous young man next to him just bowed slightly and quietly retreated.

There is something strange about the Jiuli courtyard.

Zhao Gao was keenly aware of this fact. Just look at the prince holding his chin and thinking all the way.

Moreover, he insisted on entering the courtyard but never visited it, which was a bit unreasonable.

But Zhao Gao was very sensible and never asked what he shouldn't ask. Instead, he asked the prince with a smile what he wanted for lunch.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and smiled: "It's still early, we can go outside to eat something."

"Outside?" Zhao Gao was stunned: "Where do you want to go, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Fan rested his hands on the carriage: "In the whole Yangdu, only Penglaiju is good."

"Okay!" Zhao Gao responded: "Go to Penglaiju!"

——

When Wang Dongzhu and Manager Liu heard the waiter stuttering and saying that the regent's procession had arrived, they jumped up at that moment.

Who is the regent? The King of One Word Side by Side, the King of Freedom, the number one guest of Penglaiju. And he came with a procession, so proud.

The two ran straight to the gate and almost lost their shoes.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw that the procession had occupied the entire street, and a slightly fat eunuch with small eyes was standing there with a smile.

Wang Dongzhu could not help but recognize him. This was the eunuch Zhao Er who presided over the officials' listening to the story that day... By the way, he should be called Zhao Gao now. He is the first eunuch at the moment and will soon become the eunuch who holds the pen.

"Oh... Meet the general manager!"

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "Wang Dongzhu, you really know Miscellaneous."

Wang Dongzhu said, "You are a great nobleman in our Penglai Residence. I dare not not recognize you even if I don't recognize anyone."

Zhao Gao waved his hand quickly, "Don't talk nonsense. Your number one guest is here today. Arrange the best elegant room and ask the grandparents to serve."

Wang Dongzhu hurriedly said, "No need to arrange it. The best elegant room has always been prepared for the prince. Others dare not use it."

Zhao Gao said, "Oh, you are a good restaurant owner. Okay, go and prepare it. There is no need to be extravagant. Just prepare the few side dishes that the prince likes the most."

Wang Dongzhu hurriedly called Manager Liu to prepare it.

At this moment, Zhao Gao also invited Jiang Fan out.

According to Jiang Fan's intention, no diners were driven away. It happened to be lunch time, and many people were in the building. They were all surprised. No one thought that they would have the honor to witness the famous King Xiaoyao of Daqin, now His Royal Highness the Regent, in person while having a meal.

Everyone shouted to greet him, and Jiang Fan responded with a smile, asking everyone not to be restrained, saying that he was only here to eat and listen to music today.

He also asked Zhao Gao to waive everyone's meal fee, causing everyone to shout "King Xiaoyao" and cheer loudly.

Strangely enough, although Jiang Fan was later conferred the title of King of One Word and One Shoulder, and now he is the regent, the Qin people and even the world still prefer to call him King Xiaoyao. It is very likely that his elegant and graceful appearance makes people feel very emotional.

It was not until Jiang Fan entered the elegant room that the outside finally calmed down, but everyone was discussing with great interest. It seems that today's appetizers must be the various deeds of King Xiaoyao.

Jiang Fan didn't even know that he had a special seat in Penglai Residence.

Looking at this spacious and luxurious elegant room of 200 square meters, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't spend anything here, but made a lot of money.

He originally wanted to persuade the owner Wang to cancel it, but the words of the owner Wang left him speechless.

The people almost knelt down to him, and said earnestly that since there was a special seat for the King of Freedom here, it attracted countless guests every day, and asked the King to keep this elegant room for the sake of the friendship we had in the past.

Hearing what Wang Dongzhu said, Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious that they were treating him as a living signboard and a cash cow. With the fate of helping him in his time of need when he was working there, Jiang Fan couldn't hold on any longer, and had to let them go.
