Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

After understanding the specific circumstances of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Li Yuan arranged for Commander Fan and a team of 300 cavalry to live in the Prince of Chu's Mansion and act as bodyguards.

As for Chu Qingyan and his party, they randomly assigned her to a separate courtyard, leaving her and a few maids to live there while her subordinates, soldiers, etc., found their own places to live.

Anyway, Chu Qingyan made a lot of money from suppressing bandits, so she was rich!

In the main hall, Li Yuan sat high on the throne, with Commander Fan and Yuwen Chengdu on both sides below him, and Xiao Yezi on the side.

Mr. Jiang only protected Li Yuan's safety and went to practice somewhere.

Li Yuan looked at the three people below, Yuwen Chengdu, Fan Jianqiang, and Xiao Yezi.

When Emperor Yu sent Fan Jianqiang to him, he had already marked him as the King of Chu. Who else could he follow if he didn't follow him?

Needless to say, Yuwen Chengdu is loyal and reliable.

Xiao Yezi has been with him since he was a child.

Several grown men stared at each other, not knowing what to say.

Shabby, really shabby!

Li Yuan shook his head silently. Apart from these few people, there was no one else available in the palace of Prince Chu, and there was no one who wanted to discuss something.

It's okay to let them train soldiers to lay out defenses, but don't worry about the rest.

Asked Fan Qianqiang, Fan Qianqiang would only say, "Listen to His Highness."

Asked Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengdu also said, "Listen to His Highness."

"Commander Fan, take the soldiers around the palace to familiarize themselves with the environment. By the way, send a few smart soldiers and Xiao Zizi to the city to recruit a group of maids."

There are not even any maids in the entire palace, they are all rough men. How can this be done?

Li Yuan casually sent Fan Jianqiang and Xiao Yezi away.

“Chengdu, you said that Nangong Xiyue managed a small organization in Linjing City.

What did she think that she came to Lingzhou with you? "

In the past two days, Li Yuan also learned about the situation of Nangong Xiyue and these children.

This Nangong Xiyue is really bold. After only a few days of contact, she dared to take a group of children with Yuwen Chengdu, even across such a long distance between two major states.

Yuwen Chengdu recalled the situation when he met Nangong Xiyue. He had only met her for two days before she decided to follow him.

"Well, she took in a group of children in Linjing City. She specialized in guiding passers-by and introducing the situation in the city. She begged for a living. She originally wanted to enter Yujing Academy, but according to her, she believed in her intuition and felt that in Yujing There was no way out of the academy, and I didn’t want to go back to Lingjing City, so I came to Lingzhou with me.”

"Intuition?"

Li Yuan nodded slowly. Being able to lead a group of children to survive in the city must be said to be a bit smart and at least have organizational skills.

As for whether she was sent by others, it was obviously impossible. At that time, only she and Yuwen Chengdu knew in the world, and Yuwen Chengdu was one of our own.

It would be strange if Nangong Xiyue knew that Yuwen Chengdu was her.

"Yes, that's what she said at the time. Her intuition was very accurate and she was very lucky. I met her several times on the road picking up money on the roadside."

Yuwen Chengdu recounted them one by one.

"What, you're so lucky?" Li Yuan said with an expression that said don't lie to me.

He has never picked up money since he was a child. How many times can Nangong Xiyue pick up money along the way?

"When Little Leaf recruits a group of maids and comes back, let her temporarily take charge of this group of maids and handle some chores."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, "For the rest of the children, find an academy for them to attend."

"yes."

…………

In the remote courtyard, Nangong Xiyue, Xiao Si and others listened quietly to a soldier conveying Li Yuan's order.

"Going to college?"

Xiao Si's children opened their eyes wide, with an unprecedented light in their eyes, but they soon fell into confusion. Going to school requires an identity, and it also costs a lot of money, and they don't have it.

"Okay, okay, thank you Your Highness." Nangong Xiyue was particularly happy and said to a group of confused little guys:

"Have you forgotten the identity of His Royal Highness the King of Chu? What he said is that it is not easy for you to go to the academy. Who dares not to accept it? As for the money, don't worry. I am now one of the principals of the palace. I have wages. Plus the money I picked up on the road is enough for you to go to the academy."

However, the soldier took out two hundred taels of silver notes at this moment and said: "This is the money that His Highness sponsored for you."

"Wow!"

"Your Highness is so kind!"

The children's eyes were wide open, they recognized the bank notes.

"No, we can't have it. His Highness letting them go to the academy is already the greatest gift." When Nangong Xiyue saw Li Yuan giving them two hundred taels of silver notes, there was a hint of shock in her eyes and she quickly refused.

"Hold it, I have other tasks, it's time for me to go."

The soldier ignored Nangong Xiyue's words, handed the banknote to her and left. He had to go to the Zhou family next door to deliver a message.

And now that he saw the two hundred taels of silver notes, he was not moved at all.

According to His Highness, he is not interested in money now. Money only has a number.

Each of their three hundred cavalry received a reward of three hundred taels.

What's more, in the cities they passed by on the way, the rich merchants and local tycoons warmly entertained them. Every time they followed His Highness, they had food, drink, and silver coins.

With this money, it is enough for the family behind them to live a prosperous life. Their lives have already been sold to His Highness the King of Chu.

Just a street away from Prince Chu's Mansion, Chu Qingyan had already sent someone to buy a mansion here in advance.

In the lobby, Chu Qingyan's subordinates were not as shabby as Li Yuan.

Yang Tongling, Qing Yan, Chen Xiao, Liu Lei, Zhou Qiuya, He Changwen, Liao Siting, Fan Min, plus Wu Yong.

They are discussing what to do next?

Zhou Qiuya asked Chu Qingyan for instructions:

"Second Miss, first of all we need an official position. Having a position will make it easier to do anything."

Everyone also nodded one after another.

Chu Qingyan frowned. Of course she knew that arranging people to enter the government was a good thing, but how did she arrange it?

She was not Li Yuan who could propose to the prefect.

He Changwen said: "We first understand the preferences of the officials in the capital, and start to establish a good relationship with them from this aspect."

"These are the habits of officials in the capital city." Qingyan took out a pamphlet.

Before coming, they had collected information on these people.

“Let’s find the most accessible official first!”

"Take the first step first, and the rest will be easier."

While they were discussing, a sentence suddenly came in.

"Princess, I have a faster way for you to get your job as soon as possible."

Everyone fell silent and looked for fame. It turned out to be Wu Yong.

"Oh, Mr. Wu, what can you do?"

Chu Qingyan looked at Wu Yong unexpectedly,

Wu Yong smiled and said: "Princess, you can ask the King of Chu for help!"
