Yun Hou returned home in a happy mood, and his eyes widened at the door, unable to be sure.
“Is this… is this really my home? Is it really Tianwai Yun Hou Mansion? I… I… how come I don’t recognize it?”
Could it be that the reason why Yu Pei Ze said that he would leave the child with me for peace of mind and safety was not because of me, and it was convenient to lay the foundation, and it was not because of me! ?
Compared with his cheap father Tianwai Yun Hou, who was refreshed and energetic, Yun Yang, the eldest young master, was exhausted, and his body was really hollowed out!
Well, Yun Yang had just returned from the home of old Taiwei Fang, and his fatigue naturally came from the treatment of old Taiwei Fang.
The condition of old Taiwei Fang was so serious that it could be said that he was basically exhausted. Before, he tried to activate the Tianxin Linglong technique in the matter of Yang Botao, which made his remaining life energy very little, like a candle in the wind, and he could die at any time.
Yun Yang went to the old general’s house as soon as he came back, and stayed there for half a day and a night. He continuously infused the immortal power, exhausted his own vitality three times, and finally managed to keep the old general alive, allowing the old general, who had already stepped into the hell, to temporarily recover.
Yes, it is temporarily recovered. The old general’s current situation is still not very optimistic, but it is considered to be recovered… With the old general’s current state, it is probably no problem to linger for another half a year to a year.
Compared with the old general’s previous condition, this is a complete recovery, which is amazing and spectacular!
And half a year later, Yun Yang felt that his spiritual space could be restored.
During this period of time, Yun Yang really missed his spiritual space and the years when he was accompanied by Lu Lu. People always know how to cherish things after they lose them. If Lu Lu was by his side at this time, he could spare no effort to replenish the vitality of the old general. Why would he need to be exhausted like a dead dog!
Yun Yang dragged his heavy footsteps and moved back home almost step by step;
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he happened to see his cheap father Yun Hou standing at the door like a puppet, with a face that he didn’t recognize the virtue of this house.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Yang asked exhaustedly.
“This… what’s going on?” Yun Hou was dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?” Yun Yang felt that the other party’s question was full of inexplicable and puzzling, simply incoherent and aimless.
“I mean, this… this house!” Yun Hou widened his eyes.
“Um… I renovated this house.” Yun Yang suddenly realized what he said and said casually: “The original mansion was too small, too shabby, and too low-class. It was not good enough to entertain guests, and it was not enough. So I decided to renovate it…”
The corners of Yun Hou’s mouth twitched.
Too small, too shabby, too low-class… Where did you get this from? Even if it was a prime minister’s family, it would probably not be as big as the original mansion, right? It was not as luxurious as the inside!
It was so low-class? I didn’t notice it for so many years.
And what about not being good enough to entertain guests, and not enough, are you serious? !
How many people are you entertaining? !
“Well, it’s not just a renovation…” Yun Hou said, “I think even the foundation… has been repaired?”
Yun Yang remained calm and said calmly, “This is natural. After all, it is a renovation, so it must be comprehensively renovated. A home should first be comfortable for yourself, and then high-end and classy. If you have both, it is a superior home.”
Yun Hou nodded, “That makes sense, it makes sense.”
The two walked in together, and Yun Hou said intentionally or unintentionally, “The emperor just told me that he wants to let a few people live in our house. Your renovation just solved many problems, but… our family is still a little short of manpower, and the place is not very big…”
Yun Yang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, but he still pretended to ask, “Who wants to move in? The people that the emperor put in our house, they are not here to monitor us, right?! Our current strength seems to have exceeded the psychological tolerance of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is not surprising that he will arrange some surveillance personnel.”
Yun Hou lowered his voice and said, “You think too much. The person who is coming is the eldest grandson of the emperor. However, the reason why he came to our house is that he really values our strong strength and can provide more protection for the child.”
Yun Yang snorted and laughed, but he was worried in his heart.
It is natural to accept them, but the problem now is that after accepting them, it is inevitable that there will be too many people and eyes. Now that he has lost the ability to transform into wind and clouds and evolve various magical powers, how can he quietly get away from everyone without leaving any trace?
The two entered the Hou Mansion side by side and immediately saw a lively atmosphere.
It was cold in winter, and the four dandies, Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan, Qiu Yunshan, etc., each brought their own six guards to train their own mysterious beasts for fun; well, it was cold in winter without a mysterious beast, so he only brought people to patrol back and forth, and the look in his eyes was clearly malicious, and he was angry and blind.
There were also two girls, Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan, who were wearing black veils and watching from a distance, as if they were watching the fun.
On the contrary, Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, one was drinking tea under the flower tree, and the other was looking around with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was looking at.
“These people…” Yun Hou was stunned: “All of them live here? No wonder you said before that there is not enough space. If you do this every day, there will indeed be not enough space.”
Yun Yang was also stunned when he saw this, and he took two steps forward in a rage and said: “I say you four should be quiet now. Now the war is over and there is nothing to do. What are you guys still doing here?”
“Boss, we have decided!”
The four young masters turned their heads together, looking solemn and solemn: “None of us will go home, we will stay here with you, and work with you to do a great and earth-shaking business, compile legends, and create legends!”
Yun Yang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover.
“What you said to us last time was really profound and thought-provoking. We all remembered it in our hearts. After a difficult ideological struggle, we decided to stay and accompany you all the way!”
Dong Tianleng held his head high and said passionately: “We will no longer be parasites of the family! We want to have our own business!!”
Yun Yang looked strange: “I think you just want to stop being parasites of your family and come to me to be parasites. Is that what you mean!?”
“Hey, how can you say that, boss?” Qiu Yunshan stepped forward and smiled: “We are willing to be the boss’s left and right arms, charging into battle and being invincible. The brave are fearless…”
“And we are not only capable and obedient, but also don’t want wages. We are sensible.” Dong Tianleng said: “Even if the boss is really inconvenient, just tell the younger brothers and we will go to get money immediately! As much as you want.”
“Now our skills are not comparable to the so-called masters in Tiantang City. We dare to call ourselves masters!” Xia Bingchuan shook his head.
“The most important thing is that we have made up our minds to stay here. You can’t drive us away, boss!” Chun Wanfeng made the final decision.
Yun Hou, who was behind Yun Yang, was also stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: “Then let’s do it this way, I have no objection, it’s good!”
Before he finished speaking, he went back to his room to rest.
The four of them were all overjoyed when they heard this. With the boss’s father speaking out, isn’t this more interesting than the boss speaking out himself? !
Yun Yang was stunned for a long time again, and said: “Okay… then stay.”
The four of them were overjoyed and encouraged.
How could they know that Yun Yang actually had a plan in his mind, and it was just right for these four guys to stay!
There will be many things in the future, and I will definitely not be able to handle them alone.
Now that all the supernatural powers are available, it is not convenient to use the Nine Lords. Having these guys here to help can not only divert attention, but also be convenient to use, especially… sometimes they can also carry the signboards of the four major families to do something…
Of course, the four of them have a big truth that fits the current situation. The real combat power of the four of them is quite impressive. At least for the current Tiantang City, they are truly masters!
“I’m going to sleep first.” Yun Yang waved his hand, extremely tired: “Now I’m really tired. You guys can do whatever you want…”
Yun Hou was listening to the conversation outside in the room, with a smile on his lips.
What a lovely group of young people…
Suddenly a thought came to his mind and he stood up suddenly.
No!
Yun Hou suddenly found that he seemed to have forgotten something important…
He slapped his head.
“It’s bad!”
Yun Hou finally remembered that he had prepared the money for His Majesty the Emperor, but he actually forgot to give it to him…
Then the problem came.
Where is the money?
Yun Hou immediately rushed out to find Yun Yang, only this guy knew where the money was!
But after turning around for several times, he realized… He was clearly at home, but he couldn’t find Yun Yang…
What’s the reason?
Didn’t he say he went to sleep?
“Lao Mei, where is Yun Yang?” Yun Hou asked.
Lao Mei looked embarrassed: “I don’t know where he went…”
Yun Hou stared, feeling unbelievable.
Lao Mei said he didn’t know where Yun Yang went?
How is this possible?
Your brother is the general manager of the Yun Mansion. The master asked where the young master went, and you said you didn’t know without any reason. This is simply impossible!
And he said so, there is only one explanation: he didn’t want to tell me.
But this is even more incomprehensible…
Lao Mei is his confidant…
He knows very well, or he is the one who knows the relationship between him and Yun Yang the most!
Then… there is still only one explanation!
“You… you betrayed?” Yun Hou asked Lao Mei in disbelief.
Lao Mei was in a state of dismay: “…”
Master, dare you be more ridiculous? How could I betray you? Is this how your teacher taught you to choose words and construct sentences? !
I didn’t betray you…
But, the young master’s identity is too important, I can’t tell you…
Moreover, I can’t leak any information…
Lao Mei wanted to make a statement.
However, after thinking about it, he still lowered his head and said: “I… didn’t betray… it’s just… the young master has a bad temper when he sleeps, disturbing him… no one will have a good result…”
Yun Hou stared, confused.
What do you mean, I am still his nominal father, right?
Disturbing his sleep… is not okay? How big a deal? I haven’t slept for a day and a night, okay? Can he be more tired than me?
But seeing Lao Mei’s constipated expression, Yun Hou finally didn’t ask.
The next day.
His Majesty the Emperor gave an order.
Around Yun Hou’s mansion, all the official residences, those who were promoted were promoted, those who were demoted were demoted, those who were dismissed were dismissed, and those whose homes were confiscated were confiscated; those who were promoted were moved away from their original places, those who were demoted were ordered to move; those who were dismissed were sent back to their hometowns; those whose homes were confiscated… needless to say, they were taken back to the state.
Several other wealthy families were also ordered to move out.
Almost within one morning, the seventeen households around the Yun Mansion became empty.
Marquis Yun then wrote: The Marquis Mansion is too small, too simple, and not enough to make a living…
So the emperor waved his pen and all the houses around it belonged to Marquis Yun.
At the same time, the imperial edict came down.
Yun Xiaoyao, the Marquis of Tianwai Yun, was rewarded for his merits in serving the country and guarding the border; Yun Xiaoyao was specially named Yu Tang Xiaoyao King!
One word and one king.
The whole country was shocked.
At the same time, the imperial edict said: The title of the original Marquis of Tianwai Xiaoyao will be inherited by Yun Yang, the only son of the Marquis Yun.
In other words… from now on, Yun Yang’s title in Yu Tang is… Marquis of Tianwai Xiaoyao!
Yun Xiaoyao was directly named a king from a marquis, which was unprecedented in the history of Yu Tang.
And Yun Yang was directly named Xiaoyao Marquis from a commoner… It was also unprecedented!
But all the civil and military officials of Yu Tang had no objection to this matter.
Because… everyone knows that, in fact, Tianwai Yunhou is the illegitimate son of the previous emperor of Yu Tang. This matter is only a secret to ordinary people, but it is clear to the real officials.
Who dares to stop His Majesty the Emperor from conferring a title on his own brother? Isn’t that courting death?
In the morning court.
Yunhou accepted the order to thank the grace, and was grateful and shed tears: “I will do my best and die… In addition, I am going to donate all the wealth I have earned in this life to the court to solve the court’s urgent needs…”
His Majesty the Emperor thought that this matter would end like this.
As a result, Yunhou suddenly proposed to donate, and was also stunned for a moment, and smiled: “Yunhou is a rich man, but I don’t know how much he has plundered in Edo over the years?”
When the civil and military officials heard this, they all looked at each other and stopped talking.
“How much was plundered” and “how much can be plundered” are two different things.
One is illegal, the other is allowed!
There is a “can”.
His Majesty the Emperor has given permission!
Who dares to say no?
Yun Hou said modestly: “It’s just a small amount of property, not worthy of being presented in a high-class hall.”
His Majesty the Emperor took a leisurely cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: “Your Highness Yun doesn’t have to donate all of it, just half of it will be enough.”
Yun Xiaoyao said: “I have earned 1276,890,000 taels in my half-life… I am willing to donate all of it to the court to fill the treasury…”
“Puff!”
His Majesty the Emperor spit out a mouthful of tea, coughed repeatedly, and his face flushed.
Puff puff puff… The eyes of the civil and military officials all shot out of their sockets.
How much?
My ears are not ruined, right?
1276,890,000 taels? …This… Where did Yun Hou get so much money?
His Majesty coughed so hard that he could hardly breathe, and suddenly slapped the table: “Yun Xiaoyao, where did you get so much money?”
Yun Hou said respectfully: “Your Majesty, this is all the hard-earned money of my ministers. Over the years, there are only these few amounts… Your Majesty, you don’t need to ask more… There are also some things that are not visible to the public…”
All the ministers lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
In the past few years, he has amassed 120 million yuan. This is not just a shameful thing…
If it is through formal channels, the national treasury will not receive so much money…
But His Majesty immediately understood: “In this case, I won’t ask… Come on, put Yun Hou’s donation into the national treasury.”
Everyone is happy!
Putting it into the inner treasury is completely different from putting it into the national treasury.
Putting it into the inner treasury is for the exclusive use of the royal family. Putting it into the national treasury belongs to the Ministry of Revenue.
In other words, everyone can spend…
So, His Majesty the Emperor was very pleased, and so were all the ministers: Finally… I don’t need to lack money to do anything…
…
At the same time.
The newly promoted Tianwai Yunhou, Lord Yun Yang, has arrived in the small mountain village surrounded by mountains. The first to greet him was Si Baibai.
The snow-white body rushed into his arms like lightning.
Yun Yang hugged Si Baibai, feeling a lot of emotion.
Er Baibai and San Baibai… are still in the spiritual space and can’t be seen…
Now…
Then, Baoer appeared.
“Uncle…”
The babyish cry made Yun Yang forget everything.
…
“Sister Li.” Yun Yang said, “I’ll take you back.”
Li Yingqiu was very surprised: “Thank you, young master.”
Yun Yang came this time, still dressed the same as last time, but… what made Yun Yang headache was that he didn’t hide his true face when he came last time.
At that time, he didn’t think so much.
Fortunately, there were only four or five people who saw him at that time, including Li Yingqiu.
Yun Yang gathered all of them together and entrusted them solemnly.
“… Go to Tianwai Yunhou Mansion…”
“… The eldest grandson of the emperor… His Majesty the Emperor…”
“… Because of my special status, I can’t…”
“… So if you see me in the future, you must pretend not to know me… Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous… Everyone will be in danger of their lives…”
“… All 48 households will move together. From now on, you will be Baoer’s direct lineage…”
Regarding Yun Yang’s words.
The two leading villagers gathered a few people to talk.
“No one is allowed to leak…”
“If this young master wants to keep it secret, he can kill us all… But, the young master didn’t do that…”
“So…”
“For the safety of the young master, for the safety of the benefactor…”
…
After that, all 48 hunters in the village held a secret meeting.
“No matter what, no secrets can be leaked!”
“Don’t reveal any word related to this place.”
…
Yun Yang made arrangements.
“Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the south gate outside Tian Tang City, and then I will leave. Naturally, someone will come to pick you up…”
“Everyone, live together… but keep it confidential and safe…”
…
Yun Yang gave sincere instructions.
These people were the backbone of the army back then, and some of them were the confidants of the Earth Lord and the Water Lord. Although they were not necessarily knowledgeable, they all had one thing in common, that is: life and death, everyone had already become indifferent!
Everyone understood these principles.
Yun Yang himself knew that even if he didn’t say a word, these people would still know what to do.
But, he still gave instructions one by one.
…
That night.
The entire small mountain village went out collectively.
Then, all the houses in the small mountain village were left quietly among the vast mountains without any damage.
The two leaders had planned to completely demolish it and burn it down.
But Yun Yang disagreed.
“Keep it.”
“Destroy all the roads outside.”
“If there is any emergency in the future… this place will still be the last step… safe place.”
“It would be best if this retreat is not used. But if it is used… it must be foolproof.”
…
Everyone was very convinced of Yun Yang’s plan.
Early in the morning of the fourth day.
Yun Yang led his men to the outside of Tian Tang City.
After settling down, Yun Yang checked around to make sure it was foolproof. So he left immediately.
At noon that day.
Marshal Qiu’s residence suddenly received a secret letter.
“People have arrived at the South Gate… Hurry to welcome them…”
Marshal Qiu was unconscious, and Mrs. Qiu had no idea what it meant. What was going on?
But there was a mark of Jiuzun on it; Mrs. Qiu did not dare to make a decision on her own, let alone consult with others. I had to find someone to inform His Majesty the Emperor that there was something important to discuss at Marshal Qiu’s residence.
When His Majesty heard this, he was immediately excited.
He actually came immediately.
Then, Yun Hou was also called over.
Then everything went smoothly.
Yun Hou personally took Fang Mofei, Bai Yixue and several guards from the four princes, and personally went out of the south gate to welcome Bao’er and his party.
It was already evening when everyone arrived at the Yun Mansion.
That night, the Yun Mansion held a banquet.
In the name of celebrating Yun Hou’s triumphant return, the lights were bright, and delicacies from mountains and seas were flowing like water. And His Majesty came to celebrate and participate in the grand event.
Everyone knew that Yun Hou was His Majesty’s half-brother, but it was not surprising.
“Bao’er…”
His Majesty held the little child, looked at all the marks between his eyebrows and eyes that resembled the eldest prince, held him tightly in his arms, and tears rolled down.
