The Blessed

Chapter 359

Yan Shengrui never forgot his precious sons were money slaves. Such a big chance to make money, of course he’d win it for his wife and kids. As long as it could exchange a smile of them, he’d feel satisfied.

“What? Quality steels?”

On hearing that, Zeng Shaoqing sprung up, even Chu Yunhan couldn’t help popping out his eyes. Is the quality steel that thing they knew? The invincible sharp weapons of West(Xi) Kingdom?

“Hmm. It’s just like what you thought. Get it done as soon as possible. With the quality steel knives, next time when we fight West (Xi) Kingdom, we won’t take a beating.”

He could understand their shock. Last time when he heard about that while he still hadn’t regained his memories, he also had big reaction on hearing it. The gap between them and West Kingdom on military forces was weapons.

“Wait, I need to calm down.”

Zeng Shaoqing slowly sat back and spoke incoherently. As a legitimate son of the first duke's mansion, how could he not know the importance of quality steel knives to them? But wasn't the forging method of quality steels the top secret of West(Xi) Kingdom? Ling Jingxuan could actually work it out? Is he human being? If quality steel was so easy to forge, they would have already equipped the whole armies with them, wouldn't they? Heaven knows during the past dynasties, be it Qing Kingdom or East(Dong) Kingdom, they had sent a number of Men of Sacrifice to West(Xi) Kingdom as spies, trying to steal the forging method of quality steels, but the results were without exception, all failed…That pair of fox eyes suspiciously sized Ling Jingxuan up and down. What was in that head? Why did he have some kind of feeling that he isn’t a human being at all?

"Have you seen enough? Just shoot if you got words to say. Don’t stare me like that.”

Ling Jingxuan didn’t lose his five senses, of course he noticed it. But being stared at like that, no one wouldn’t feel a bit creepy. Just some quality steels. Did he need to look at him like he was a monster?

"No, sister-in-law, I'm just curious. What on earth you got in your head? You can even forge quality steel, is there anything you can’t do?"

Zeng Shaoqing simply sat down on his other side, with one hand pressing on his shoulder, but got brushed off by Lord Yan, he was not discouraged, and still asked the doubt out of the bottom of the heart. He can't understand, at first, the cold dishes, the jam, the grape wine, and then to grow things in the saline-alkali land, all kinds of dishes he had even never heard before. Oh right, his medical skills and poison skills. How could a farmer know so many outlandish things?

"Of course different from you, for your brain is full of straws, how dare I compare with you?"

"Screw you! Who are you despising?”

"Haha..."

Ling Jingxuan’s joke instantly amused a few of them, even Zeng Shaoqing who got teased could not help but laugh out, but he also noticed that Ling Jingxuan did not want to say more. Seeing that his good brother Yan Shengrui also didn’t mean to ask more, he could only give it up. Even a couple would hide little secrets between each other, let alone them. If it hadn’t been Nine(Shengrui), maybe he even had no chance to step into this house.

"All right, enough of the jokes. Shengrui, after Yunhan and Yan’er go back this time, you should send a few martial arts masters to protect them, and find Yan’er a shifu with superb martial arts. I don’t want anything happen to them.”

After the joke, Ling Jingxuan turned to Yan Shengrui to get back to business, after they left, they even couldn’t write each other a letter before they could meet next time. The situation in the capital was ever-changing. He’d only afraid that if something happened to them, distant water can’t put out a nearby fire.

When they received the news, it might have been too late.

"Six(Liu) will make the arrangements. His Men of Sacrifice are no worse than my personal guards. Did you give all those things?”

Yan Shengrui smoothly brushed his hair on his cheek behind his ears, with that pair of peach blossom eyes filled with affection. Ling Jingxuan took a look at Zeng Shaoqing and then nodded, "Hmm, I've done everything I can. It's up to them if they can take back what belongs to them."

That was all he could do, and he believed that neither Yunhan nor Yan'er was stupid. Even if they could not get everything back, it would not be difficult to keep themselves alive.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything at my imperial elder brother’s side."

Throwing him a comforting look, Yan Shengrui turned to Chu Yunhan, and the affection in those eyes were completely gone, “Imperial sister-in-law, as for how to explain after going back, I guess I don’t need to teach you. My imperial elder brother isn’t a heartless one. He’d definitely welcome you in person. Don’t be anxious even if you can’t seize any opportunity at first. I will help you create more opportunities. You only need to maintain your proud gesture and stay in Fuqing palace quietly with Seven. Remember, don’t try to contact Chu family secretly. You should be clearer than me that Chu family is like a knot between you and my imperial elder brother. So don’t increase his suspicion. He is the emperor who wouldn’t allow a sand in the eyes.”

He wouldn't say those to him if it hadn’t been for the sake of Ling Jingxuan and his kids. All along, as for anything about the emperor’s ‘family affairs’, he would rather mostly choose to show no interest.

"Hmm."

Chu Yunhan nodded firmly. Even for himself and his son, he’d try his best, and wouldn’t try to avoid it like before.

"Well, sister-in-law, there is something I want to speak to you alone."

Zeng Shaoqing suddenly squeezed in. Others all gave him a strange look. What was stranger, he who had always been a big man now was avoiding their eyes. The other three all had question marks all over their faces. Ling Jingxuan picked his eyebrows. After exchanging glances with Yan

"All right, go ahead."

After entering the room, Ling Jingxuan turned to face him and went straight to the point, Zeng Shaoqing withdrew the usual proud attitude and moved over while saying with a flattering tone, “Sister-in-law, is there some kind of medicine that could make a man impotent without hurting him?”

"Huh?"

Ling Jingxuan got dumbfounded. What does he want? If a man becomes impotent, could he still be called a man?

“You know, Yunhan is going back. I don’t want him to sleep with that you-know-who in the palace again. Although it’s said that man hasn’t slept with any concubine for a long time, I don’t want to take any risk. I want to spare all later trouble.”

In the end, some kind of malevolence flashed across Zeng Shaoqing’s eyes. He was also half of a member of the imperial family. Yan Shengrui said right. There was no family bond thing in the imperial family. Anyway, the emperor already had a bunch of offspring, so there’d be someone who could inherit everything from him. He’d only feel safe only if that man got impotent.

"I'll give it to you tomorrow."

After staring at him for a while, Ling Jingxuan spat those words and passed him to go out. In an angle Zeng Shaoqing couldn’t see, he curved up his lips and formed a bright smile.
