The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 383
[Chapter 383 King Kang’s Birthday Banquet]
When Emperor Chu heard this, a smile appeared on his old face and he said, “You always surprise me.”
After a pause, he continued: “Okay, tell me, how do you do it? “You think about it?”
Fang Xiu looked confused and asked, “What?”
Seeing this, Emperor Chu smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing at him: “You little naughty boy, that’s all. , I won’t make it difficult for you.
In addition to telling you this, I have one more thing to do, about heaven’s punishment.”
When Emperor Chu mentioned heaven’s punishment, Fang Xiu cheered up and said, “I must I can tell you everything I know.”
Emperor Chu nodded and said, “Tell me, how many Heavenly Punishments could the Shenji Battalion produce before the changes occurred in the southwest?”
Fang Xiu thought for a moment after hearing this. : “At least a thousand!”
Emperor Chu frowned, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, “Seriously?”
He had asked this question when he was at the Shenji Camp, and the answer he got was the same.
Although he seemed very pleased at the time, he actually didn’t believe it.
How could such a powerful artifact be produced so easily?
The performance at that time was just to stabilize the morale of the military.
He knew that Fang Xiu was not the kind of person who liked to take credit, but this Heavenly Punishment was a new thing after all. It had not yet been officially put into mass production, and no one knew how much it could produce.
The numbers given by the Shenji Camp are, at best, nothing more than speculation.
“I will never dare to deceive Your Majesty!”
Fang Xiu said with determination on his face: “As long as the quantity of saltpeter is enough, within a month, the Shenji Battalion will work hard to produce a new type of heavenly punishment, and at least five can be produced. Hundreds.
If we stop the improvement and research and development of the new type of Heavenly Punishment, we should be able to produce a thousand!”
After hearing this, Emperor Chu finally showed a happy expression on his old face and said, “The Heavenly Punishment is an important weapon of the country! , this is especially true for the new type of Heavenly Punishment. Improvement and research and development are related to the future of our country and must not be stopped.
If I remember correctly, your Shenji Battalion should have a thousand people now?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Chu nodded and said, “I will give you one thousand more people. Before the matter on the grassland is settled, they will work hard to produce the Heavenly Punishment!”
“I obey the decree!”
When Fang Xiu came out of the palace, it was already dark.
The area in front was empty except for a Fang Mansion carriage.
The coachman had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Fang Xiu got on the carriage, he started towards Fang Mansion.
In less than an hour, the carriage stopped in front of Fang Mansion.
Fang Xiu got out of the carriage and discovered that besides his own carriage there was another carriage in front of the door. It was also luxuriously decorated and could not be afforded by ordinary merchants.
Sure enough, before
he could stand still, a middle-aged man in rich clothes came over.
Before he even got close, he heard Bai Xiaochun behind him ask, “Who are you?”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he stood upright and bowed respectfully.
Then, he said in a very respectful tone: “You are the steward of Prince Kang’s Mansion, and you have been waiting here for the new Amber for a long time.” Fang Xiu
, the steward of Prince Kang’s Mansion
, looked at the middle-aged man and asked, “What’s the matter? “
Prince Kang’s Mansion had just given him gold, silver and jewelry some time ago. At this time, he sent people to guard the door of his mansion, but he didn’t know what the reason was.
When the middle-aged man heard Fang Xiu’s voice, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: “I’m here to send you an invitation to the new Amber.
It will be my prince’s birthday in a while, and His Highness wants to invite you to attend his birthday.” Birthday banquet. “
Birthday banquet. “
According to common sense, since such a big thing happened to King Kang just now, he should hide himself in the palace, try not to attract the attention of others, and wait for the limelight of this incident to pass before coming out again.
However, at this time, he suddenly wanted to hold a birthday party.
Fang Xiu had to be suspicious, and he also specially invited himself, which made people wonder what other purposes he had.
He thought for a while, then reached out and took the invitation, and said, “I know that when the time comes, if I have time, I will definitely go to the
banquet .” When
the guards of Prince Kang’s Mansion heard this, they were slightly moved. He was startled for a moment, and then a look of anger appeared on his face.
His Majesty, His Majesty Prince Kang, invites you to attend the birthday banquet. It is an honor. What does it mean to attend the banquet if you have time?
Could it be that you won’t go to the banquet if you don’t have time?
Throughout the whole day, he sent countless invitations, including invitations to several Dukes’ palaces.
Only this new Amber kept him waiting for more than an hour.
That’s all. After all, he is just a servant of Prince Kang’s palace.
However, those words just now were a slap in the face of his master, His Highness Prince Kang!
Even so.
But he knew in his heart that currently, the most popular person in the entire Chu Kingdom was the new Amber, and the one who was most valued by His Majesty was also the new Amber.
Therefore, no matter how rude the new Amber is, as a slave of Prince Kang’s Mansion, he has no right to make irresponsible remarks.
Just for a moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: “In that case, I will go back first.”
Fang Xiu nodded, looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and ordered: “Xiao Chun, give me a gift.” After
a pause, he continued: “Give me a gift.”
When the steward heard this, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, wanting to curse.
Finally, he held it back and said with a smile: “Don’t bother me, sir. I know the way.”
“Yes.”
Fang Xiu nodded, said nothing more, turned around and walked into Prince Kang’s Mansion.
When Bai Xiaochun saw this scene, he also walked in.
Suddenly, only the steward of Prince Kang’s Mansion was left in front of the Fang Mansion.
He stood there, watching Fang Xiu’s back disappear from his sight, spat hard, turned around and walked onto the carriage.
The carriage started to move and gradually disappeared into the night.
Fang Xiu walked into Fang Mansion, suddenly stopped, looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and asked: “What do you think King Kang means?”
Next to him, Bai Xiaochun heard this, with a thoughtful look on his face, and then replied : “I think maybe Prince Kang wants to win over you, the young master?”
At this point, he thought for a moment and then added: “After all, you, the young master.”
Before he could speak, Fang Xiu knew what he wanted to say and waved his hand. Said: “Come on, just these few sentences over and over again, I have to write them down.”
Bai Xiaochun heard this and said with a smile: “Young master is indeed the Wenqu star from the sky who has descended to earth. Before I even opened my mouth, I knew what I wanted to do. What are you talking about?”
Fang Xiu looked back at Bai Xiaocun, with a speechless expression on his face.
Fortunately, this guy was in Fang Mansion, otherwise he would have been another Wei Zhongxian or another Liu Jin when he was sent to the palace.
