Chapter 911: 911-Stealing a Corner
Chapter 911:-Stealing a Corner
Xie Xian was shocked by Xiao Baoxin’s brazen act of stealing his father-in-law’s love.
“The meals and accommodation are two thousand gold taels per year.”Xiao Baoxin smiled as he counted his fingers and advised,””I will buy a four-door residence for General in Imperial Street. All the furniture, manservants, and maids will be provided for you.”
“If you have a lady you like, I will be your guarantor and propose marriage to you. I will pay for the betrothal gifts.”
“General is a hero. It is true that you serve the country by killing the enemy on the battlefield, but my husband is also the pillar of the country. If you want to fight for fame on the battlefield, you can serve the Xie family for three years. After three years, we will definitely give you a good future.”
This was a huge investment.
Jin Jin wiped the corner of his mouth and muttered,””Of course I can eat. Can I eat until I’m full even if it’s the Xie family’s food?”
“-just like that pastry,”
Xiao Baoxin nodded.”
“Alright then.” Jin Jin agreed without hesitation.
Not everyone was like Xiao Baoshu, addicted to the battlefield.
Jin Jin had no choice but to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. In order to survive, he did not want to rebel, so he could only listen to orders and become a soldier. After joining the army, he was assigned to Sikong Xiao. There was not a single battle in Daliang that Sikong Xiao did not participate in.
He would provide food, accommodation, and enough food. He would also pay two thousand gold taels every year. He was not boasting, but he could protect Xie Xian until the end of time and ensure that the Xie family went bankrupt.
What was the point of killing enemies on the battlefield? Eating and drinking to their hearts ‘content was more important.
He could make a name for himself on the battlefield, but he didn’t know how to flatter others, and he even injured the general. It would be strange if he had a good future. It would be a luxury if he could return to the army alive to eat a hot meal. Even if they managed to survive from the enemy, they would not be able to escape the punishment of the general.
Compared to fame and fortune, it was better to eat-
No, it was still eating, no! It was still fate! More important!
Happy, he agreed.
Xie Xian didn’t know if he should say something serious.
It wasn’t that he doubted this person’s innocence. Since his father-in-law could use him to do such a dangerous thing, he definitely trusted him.
To steal someone away from his father-in-law just like that, whether it was his wife who stole her or General Jin who was stolen, were they really so focused that they did not consider his father-in-law’s thoughts?
Perhaps he could keep it for a long time?
“Really? Don’t you need to inform your father-in-law?”After careful consideration, Xie Xian still reminded him softly.
Xiao Baoxin was full of confidence.”
“Why don’t I personally go and talk to father-in-law and invite General Jin over…”
“There’s no need to do those fake things. Just leave it like this. I don’t need to be grand.”Jin Jin could not forget about eating. He had gone through life and death during the war. Even if others were dissatisfied, they would do things with their heads up. No one would criticize them on the table.
When he stopped fighting and ate in the military camp, there would be no shortage of gossip.
He ate a lot and killed a lot. Why didn’t he say anything?
“I’ll go talk to Si Kong personally.”Jin Jin took on the responsibility. He was really a little afraid that Sikong Xiao would not be willing to let go of a talent like him and not let him come to the Xie residence. It was better for him to personally say it.
If Sikong Xiao didn’t let him go, then no one could say anything about him eating the Air Force Battalion. Sikong Xiao had personally asked him to stay, so how could he not be full?
Who would have thought that when they returned to Sikong Manor, Sikong Xiao would nod his head before he could even finish his words. He was used to his daughter putting her son-in-law first.
What’s wrong with taking some from him? Isn’t his daughter’s?
He was not familiar with politics, but he could see that too many people were targeting son-in-law Xie. There were really too few loyal people like Jin Jin who had no other thoughts and only cared about food.
With his protection, he felt much more at ease.
Not only did she send Jin Jin back to the Xie family, but she also gave Jin Jin a thousand gold coins in private.
He said that he would serve Xie Xian well and ensure his safety, but Jin Jin could not help but feel like he was being chased out of the door.
Jin Jin, whose heart was bigger than a melon, thought, Maybe he’s too sensitive.
Fortunately, the Xie family treated him like an honored guest.
Xiao Baoxin’s previously promised four-entry courtyard was delivered to him in less than half a month. As she promised, all the facilities and staff were complete. However, because of the bodyguard Xie Xian, there was a courtyard in Rong An Hall for him to guard. That courtyard was only for him to rest or wait for the three-year period to be over before she decided to stay.
Under Xiao Baoxin’s arrangements, Jin Jin took over the secret guards and was in charge of their training.
Most of the secret guards had experienced Jin Jin’s methods. Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, they were convinced verbally. However, Jin Jin was a master at killing people. He did not care about his subordinates and only cared about killing for himself.
Xie Xian was a man of talent. He taught people according to their talents. Under his guidance and Jin Jin’s implementation, the secret guards had made great progress in three months.
Falling behind meant being beaten up. If he was beaten up by Jin Jin, he would be crippled. The most important thing was that he would lose half his life.
Of course, the treatment was also quite good.
All the way until early autumn, everything was calm.
Ever since Emperor Yong Ping quelled the Jingyong rebellion, he had been hiding in the palace and never appeared in the Xie residence again. Instead, Xie Qing had been put in an important position again and again. She was also appointed as a casual rider and Danyang Yin. She was in charge of the military, the civil affairs, and participated in the government. She had always been trusted by the Emperor.
Xie Qing was very pleased with herself.
At the same time, Chu Yan returned to the court after the mourning period ended and was appointed as the garrison of Stone City, reducing Yang Shao’s official position. At the same time, he also served as a general of the army, directly above Yang Shao.
Princess Lujiang wanted to go to Jingzhou again and again, but the emperor did not let her go. Although he agreed later, Princess Lujiang was exposed to be three months pregnant.
After she became pregnant, the Emperor’s tone changed. He asked her to stay again on the grounds that he was worried that Princess Lujiang’s body would not be able to bear the rush.
The child was almost three months old. Princess Lujiang once again requested to go to Jingzhou, but the Emperor still refused.
No matter how stupid Yang Shao was, he also felt that something was wrong. He sent people to Jiankang City to inquire about the news, but he could not find anything.
It must be Xie Xian who had mixed in the conversation and wanted to take advantage of his absence to hold Princess Lujiang and his daughter hostage in Jiankang!
There was hatred in his heart.
She had suppressed him in Jiankang City, and now that he had run out, she still wanted to suppress him!
He immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to Xie Xian’s residence, asking him to say a few good words to the Emperor and let Princess Lu Jiang and his daughter go, so that his family could reunite.
He had never planned to succeed in this matter, but he also did not want Xie Xianzhen to think that he did not know anything and was left spinning in circles by him.
She insisted on talking to Xie Xian. She was a bully!
“.. This person really didn’t know anything.”After Xie Xian finished reading the letter, he shook his head and burned it.
