C12 Music
Yuan Jinsi sat on the chair, his mouth softly chiming, as if he was enjoying the rhythm of this song, but Yanzhi had never seen Yuan Jinsi so interested in the rhythm before.
At this time, the waitress knocked on the door and whispered, "Sir, your guest has arrived. Can you come in?"
The maidservants cast their gazes at Yuan Jinshan. With her back facing them, she gently raised her hand to signal for them to open the door. The rouge immediately went to open the door, but the person at the door gave her a fright.
This man was eight feet tall, and the scars on his face were as if they had been pierced by wind and frost. There was a knife scar on his left eye, but his eyes were still bright and full of spirit. Although he was wearing an ordinary suit, it was still possible to tell that each of his muscles were equally large.
This person could tell at a glance that he was a general that was walking in the army camp. The accumulated killing intent all year round made Yanzhi's face turn as pale as paper.
"Why are you only here now?" Yuan Jinsi suddenly became expressionless, his temperament was the same as this man's.
This man wore a dark purple robe with a golden signboard hanging on his body. Although it was about the size of a palm, it was extremely short and small compared to his tall and sturdy physique.
"Your Highness, I have some business to attend to on the way back to the manor. Please forgive me." The man was expressionless, but he was extremely respectful towards Yuan Jinxian. This person was precisely the great general Xu Nan who had accompanied Yuan Jinsi to battle in the north and south.
In this peaceful times of the Da Qi Kingdom, half of the credit went to him, but the credit went to the master. In the end, because of an assassination, he crippled one of his legs and was moved to the second tier.
But back then, Xu Nan was called a human, killing hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how ferocious the beasts were, they would always flee when they smelled his scent.
Xu Nan stood respectfully, not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect. At this time, Yuan Jinsi smiled and said, "General Xu, you're too courteous. Sit down, I'll show you some tea."
At this moment, Xu Nan was sitting on a chair, looking at the zither master below without taking her eyes off him. She asked rather puzzledly, "When did Your Highness become so interested in the matters of the wind, flowers, and moon?"
Xu Nan originally had a son. It was said that a tiger father did not have a dog son, but Xu Rui was definitely a prodigal son.
If he hadn't been beaten awake by Xu Nan for three days, he probably would have already bought this White Cloud Restaurant by now. From then on, Xu Rui would never dare to bring up this matter to his father again.
Since Xu Nan had resigned from her post, she had not appeared in the imperial court for three years. After she had changed sets of third-grade officials several times, these people had long forgotten that there was such a renowned general back then.
Looking at Xu Nan's heavy expression, Yuan Jin smiled and asked, "Great General, your complexion hasn't been very good lately, why don't you learn from me and listen to this Qin Se."
Xu Nan remained silent for a while, then said, "Princess, don't make fun of me. It's not like you don't know about my disappointing son."
Yuan Jinsi smiled and said, "Your son has been chasing Yu Le Le recently. I heard that he eloped with someone long ago. It can't be your son, right?"
"He has the guts, I broke his legs a long time ago. After I beat him up last time, he just stayed home to rest."
"Your son is resting. General, you wouldn't be resting, right?" At this time, Yuan Jinsi carefully asked.
Hearing this, Xu Nan immediately felt somewhat puzzled. After a long while, she asked, "I have long since left the imperial government for many years. The imperial government is like the turning point of wind and water. Who knows how many people have left."
"That may not be the case. Right now, the general's surname is Zhao. You might even know him." After saying that, Yuan Jinsi showed an extremely calm expression on his face.
"Princess, please tell me what you want me to do. If I can help, I will not refuse." Xu Nan's tone was sonorous and forceful, completely unlike that of an old man who had just passed his prime.
Looking at his confident appearance, Yuan Jinshi then slowly waved his hand, and the four maidservants beside him left first.
When Begonia saw the look in Yuan Jinsi's eyes, she immediately closed the door and stood at the entrance. Although he could hear the piano playing in front of him, he couldn't hear anyone talking while standing outside the back door.
Previously, the design of this room was based on the sound absorption effect of the deep snow in the cold pond. Only then did Yuan Jinsi slowly take out a jade pendant, passing it to Xu Nan and said, "Find the owner of this jade pendant, and protect him well."
Hearing this, Xu Nan picked up the jade pendant with some doubt and wrote two words on it. She was stunned and asked in fear, "This belongs to His Highness, the Crown Prince?"
Yuan Jinsi nodded and said, "You should have your own old subordinates in all parts of the Qi Kingdom. Find a chance and gather them all. I have something big to do."
Hearing this, Xu Nan hesitated for a moment, then immediately kneeled on the ground and said: "Your Highness, this old subject only wants to live my life as a princess and does not wish to participate in too many battles within the palace. When we meet today, this old subject will act as if I don't know anything."
Hearing this, Yuan Jinsi thought for a moment and then realized that this Xu Nan was treating him as a traitor who wanted to rebel. That's why she knelt down and didn't want to rebel with him; she was afraid that she would kill her brother if she found him.
Yuan Jin said faintly, "The reason I asked you to find him is because he disappeared. I will still send others to look for him. The world is no longer that simple."
Only after hearing this did Xu Nan immediately nod her head, knowing that it wasn't about the conspiracy, did she relax and say to Yuan Jinxing, "Back then, I arranged for the military officers of the various large cavalry battalions to retire, installed them in the civilian population, and set up a team to scout for any news. Later on, due to the resignation of the soldiers, these people no longer contacted each other after giving out the silver taels. If the princess were to use them now, as long as the silver taels were sufficient, it wouldn't be difficult to gather them."
Jin Se nodded and asked, "How much silver do you want?"
"Your Highness, it's not that you don't know, my resignation came so easily that I didn't dare to take any valuable treasures away. Now, I'm relying on my own few acres of land to earn money, I'm shy about it. Otherwise, I'll pay for the princess' work."
Hearing this, Yuan Jinsi nodded and said, "You only need to tell me how much money you need and I'll give it to you. I won't make things difficult for you."
Xu Nan seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she said, "There are a total of a hundred of them, a thousand per person would cost a hundred thousand silvers."
Hearing this, Yuan Jinsi smiled and said, "It's just a small hundred thousand. It's just a small number. Just wait for the money to be collected. When we find someone to reward you, we won't treat you unfairly."
When Xu Nan heard this, she immediately thanked him. She looked at the jade piece in her hand and fell silent. At this time, Yuan Jinsi finally shifted her gaze away from the stage.
