Chapter 253 Hexagram
The Fifth Prince looked at the Embroidered Robe Enforcement Officer who was lying with his eyes open, and then stared at the Purple Robe Enforcement Officer for a long time before he said with a slightly mocking tone, "Are you Embroidered Robe Enforcement Officers smart enough?"
The Purple-Robed Envoy knew what the Fifth Prince was referring to, but did not respond. Instead, he began to play the victim: "Of course, those of us who walk on a tightrope every day, if we don't have some flexibility, even if we have nine lives, it won't be enough to waste!"
The Fifth Prince gritted his teeth, but after receiving the amulet, his mind returned to its former clarity. He knew very well that he should not act rashly because of momentary anger. Although he was annoyed, he would never really provoke a purple-robed envoy.
He could only state his purpose with a gloomy face: "Don't play dumb, the news has been leaked now. There is no need to go to the next few households. Starting tomorrow, the king and Princess Yixin will part ways with the Purple Envoy. Is this arrangement okay?"
"Where is His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" The purple-robed envoy seemed to have expected this. There was no trace of anger on his face. He just threw out this sentence lightly.
The Fifth Prince also responded bluntly: "Don't worry about that, Purple Envoy!"
Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh: [Is this the real version of there being no eternal friends, only eternal interests? ]
So Chu Ci gently tugged at Fan Jingrui's sleeve and deliberately said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Husband, do you think we will be sold out one day?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui looked at Chu Ci with eyes full of doting, and said in a gentle voice: "As long as your value remains, I can guarantee that no one will be willing to sell you."
The fifth prince looked depressed. [Is there anyone who does this in front of the person concerned?]
I wanted to say something back, but it seemed like he had never gotten the upper hand over this couple, so I just pretended not to hear anything.
Following his own thoughts, he said, "Do you and your wife agree with my opinion, or do you plan to go to the capital alone?"
At this time, Fan Jingrui seemed to have been hit by a firecracker, and said angrily: "When you go out, you still need a companion to take care of each other. Your Highness the Prince of Qin should understand this simple truth, right?"
Chu Ci was not polite and put forward his own opinion. "I'm afraid it's impossible to leave tomorrow. There are so many people in the embroidered law enforcement, even if I stay up all night tonight, I can't give everyone a copy."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince immediately remembered the Emperor's instructions and asked unhappily, "How many days will it take?"
Chu Ci did not answer, but turned to look at Feng Yan and Taoist Yunshang, "Master Feng, Taoist Yunshang, can each of us have one amulet?"
“If possible, it would be better to have some spare ones. After all, the Embroidered Cloth Law Enforcers are in life and death situations every day, and they are bound to get their hands dirty in blood and water.” Having said that, the Purple-Robed Envoy thought that Feng Yan was speaking for them.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan changed the subject: "But I believe everyone will protect it well, so it's good to have some as a backup."
The purple-robed envoy cursed in his heart: "I heard about Feng Yan's dog when I was in the capital, but now that he has encountered something, I understand that he is not only a dog, but also has no conscience!"
Simply skipping Feng Yan, the Purple Envoy turned his gaze directly to Chu Ci and said sincerely, "Princess Yi Xin, thank you for preparing more. The Embroidered Envoy will remember this favor."
After these words came out, Chu Ci couldn't control it even if he wanted to. He simply expanded the situation and said solemnly: "I will, after all, the integrity of the embroidered clothes law enforcement is also related to the integrity of the Great Zhou officialdom."
Three days later, not only did the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Officers receive a peace amulet, but even the guards of the eldest prince, the fifth prince, and Chu Ci himself received the same treatment.
The consequence was that Chu Ci could draw amulets with his eyes closed and he almost vomited.
As a result, Chu Ci felt listless, and even after resting in the carriage for a day, he still felt weak.
Therefore, when Feng Yan was jealous that Taoist Yunshang was able to hoard tickets privately, he suggested that he also wanted to hoard a few.
Chu Ci was immediately unhappy and said angrily: "Master Feng, Taoist priest, is there no other way besides the amulet?"
Feng Yan sighed: "Princess Yi Xin, you know that the Great Zhou had always been doomed. But since the night before the Fan family was exiled, things suddenly changed. And the hexagram shows that you are the one who can break this situation."
Chu Ci was startled when he heard this, but he quickly suppressed his emotion. He immediately took the initiative and asked, "So this is why you stayed with me on purpose?"
Feng Yan was misunderstood, but he was not in a hurry to refute. Instead, he slowly said: "The facts prove that my choice was right."
"You not only saved the Fan family, but you also changed the fate of many people by your own efforts, and Taoist Yunshang and I are one of them."
Taoist Master Yun Shang smiled and nodded upon hearing this, saying, "So, you don't have to be on guard against us. We are definitely not the kind of people who repay kindness with enmity."
Chu Ci thought, could she say that she was not on guard against them, but really ignored the two great gods? But it seemed that such a truth was even more hurtful.
Chu Ci could only choose to change the subject: "Lord Feng, if my guess is correct, you are better at fortune-telling, right? How about you calculate whether I can help my elder sister get revenge when I go to the capital this time?"
Feng Yan did not expose Chu Ci's little thoughts, and casually calculated a few times. Then he smiled and said: "Princess Yi Xin will definitely get what she wants."
"Really?" Hearing this answer, Qianxue and Qianyan, who had been pretending to be good girls, finally couldn't help asking. They said anxiously, "Can we get back the eldest sister's dowry?"
“Sure.” Let alone a mere dowry, as long as Chu Ciwang’s royal family’s image remains intact, it wouldn’t be difficult to confiscate the Fu family’s property and exterminate them.
After all, the Fu family has been in a lot of trouble since they lost the Fan family, their in-laws and backers.
However, these things can only be discovered slowly after entering Beijing.
Thinking of this, Feng Yan was in a good mood for a rare time. He quietly calculated a fortune for Chu Ci, then looked at Qian Yan with a strange expression.
After the baptism of the Road of Exile, Qianxue and Qianyan's minds and temperaments became more acute.
"Why are you looking at us like that?" If Qian Yan was being polite, Qian Xue would have exploded, "What you said before wasn't all false, was it?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan directly kept the secret: "The Buddha said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said."
Qianxue and Qianyan wanted to ask more questions, but Taoist Yunshang, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll know the answer once we get to the capital."
Then he pointed at Chu Ci, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Sure enough, his strategy was very successful. Even though Qianxue and Qianyan were dissatisfied, they did not ask any further questions.
It was a pity that he had forgotten how good Chu Ci was to the two girls. As soon as Qianxue and Qianyan got off the carriage, Chu Ci immediately opened his eyes and asked solemnly, "Did someone plan to use Qianyan's life experience to make a fuss?"
