He remembered that this matter was additionally attributable to the Xiao Household and the Third Prince. It was referred to as “Veterans Reemployment”. He was livid however didn’t dare to say something.

The Xiao Household and the Third Prince of Nice Xia had been Xiongnu’s nemesis, proper?

“You don’t have any selection however to decrease your heads whenever you’re underneath another person’s roof. Now, you possibly can perceive why I’m mendacity low in Nice Xia, proper?”

The officers needed to admit that the present Nice Xia did appear to have one thing.

Chernan requested, “Then there can’t be an issue with the land devoted to Nice Xia, proper?”

The officers nodded and lowered their voices. “Don’t fear, the First Prince and the Third Prince have seen it to make sure that nothing goes unsuitable. The land given to Nice Xia will certainly not be left untouched. It’s so barren that even we despise it!”

“However we nonetheless have an excuse—it’s near Nice Xia!”

“We even ready another plan, which is to scale back a portion of the iron ore and trade it for one more metropolis that’s related to that place.”

What was a metropolis? It was only a desolate land. How may or not it’s extra vital than the iron mines they’d saved through the years?

Below the eaves, a very quiet chicken participated on this secret dialog all the time, however nobody knew, besides…

!!..

Xiaoxiao lay on the garden of the area and kicked Rong Yan. “I used to be questioning why the area all of a sudden opened an iron mine for me.”

“It’s really Nice Xia’s cheat, proper?”

The area whined in dissatisfaction.

The following day, Xiongnu’s envoys certainly raised the request of exchanging land for mines. The Emperor and ministers fell into hesitation. Opening up their territory was a temptation that no dynasty may resist, however Xiongnu’s iron ore didn’t solely symbolize the choices of the defeated nation.

On the similar time, it was additionally an vital prerequisite to make sure that Xiongnu would behave itself within the coming days.

Simply because the Imperial Courtroom was hesitating about who needs to be in control of the follow-up negotiations, Lu Chen, who was touring, introduced Ning Ansheng, who had misplaced quite a lot of weight, again to the Imperial Capital.

The Emperor was overjoyed and instantly entrusted him with an vital process. Lu Chen additionally took on the accountability and accepted this process.

It was unknown if it was to appease the Gu Household, which was additionally a task mannequin for students, however the Emperor handed the job of the following imperial examination to Grand Secretary Gu.

It was stated that the 2 students who didn’t get alongside didn’t work together in any respect within the courtroom, however nobody knew that after the courtroom session, the 2 of them sat on the Xiao Household’s eating desk at dinner and raised their glasses to drink.

“It’s been a few years since we final met, however Brother Gu’s class continues to be the identical as earlier than!”

“Brother Lu needs to be the one. Your persistence in studying continues to be the identical as earlier than. I love you!”

Xiaoxiao and Gu Chang’an had been in control of the aspect dishes. The Royal Brush Monkey Head was additionally deeply appreciated by Lu Chen. After he wrote a couple of strains and ate them himself, he praised sincerely, “Let’s not discuss the rest. Your granddaughter is absolutely enviable!”

Talking of this, Grand Secretary Gu was now not humble. “Certainly.”

Dean Lu was surprised for a second earlier than he chuckled. “I like Brother Gu’s straightforwardness. Come, drink!”

The 2 of them, who had been essentially the most skilled, drank an excessive amount of and nobody may persuade them to cease. All Xiaoxiao may do was add water to their wine jars and ask her brother to maintain it a secret.

Evidently, Ning Ansheng didn’t agree along with his Instructor ingesting an excessive amount of. It was not good for his well being. This outdated man, no, this outdated gentleman’s alcohol tolerance was actually not good. The aftermath was a headache.

It was regular for him to eat and sleep within the wild on their travels. His head harm solely when he noticed his Instructor ingesting.

“Brother, do you assume Nice Xia ought to comply with Xiongnu’s request?”

Ning Ansheng pulled his ideas again from the scene of Instructor being drunk when he was finding out. “You imply to trade land for iron ore?”

Initially, Ning Ansheng felt that it was inappropriate. Xiongnu had wild ambitions. In the event that they did allow them to, who knew when these folks would make a comeback? Nonetheless, if his sister requested this,

“Do you might have different issues?” He may hearken to her first.

Xiaoxiao pulled Rong Yan alongside and stated with a fierce expression, “Eldest Brother, really, there’s one thing else about these two plots of land.”

Ning Ansheng was prepared to listen to the small print. He had considered all types of prospects. For instance, the land there was huge and sparsely populated, and it was appropriate for grazing. For instance, the soil there was fertile and may very well be used to farm. He simply didn’t anticipate his sister to say—

“Truly, Little Large Brother’s folks as soon as noticed a suspected undiscovered mineral supply close to the border metropolis.”

This was a giant deal. After Ning Ansheng and his sister confirmed it many times, they decisively snatched Instructor’s wine glass.

Dean Lu initially wished to precise his dissatisfaction, however after listening to his disciple’s phrases, his drunken eyes instantly regained readability.

Not solely him, however the contributors within the dinner additionally regarded over.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Xiaoxiao shrugged innocently, and Xiao Ran stated, “Truly, Yan’er instructed me after the courtroom meeting. Nonetheless, there have been many individuals at the moment. If Xiongnu discovered, he wouldn’t hand over the land obediently, so he wished to speak to Dean Lu intimately tonight.”

Unexpectedly, earlier than the dishes had been all served, he and Grand Secretary Gu couldn’t cease ingesting.

If not for the truth that they’d drunk an excessive amount of, everybody would have talked about it after dinner.

“Individuals have to eat. I’ll be hungry if I don’t eat. This matter can’t be defined in a couple of phrases. I’d as properly eat my fill first.”

In fact, this was what Xiaoxiao stated.

After realizing about Xiongnu’s plan, she and Rong Yan deliberate to make issues up.

For instance, once they had been guarding the border to seize Xiongnu’s spies, they discovered a cave by probability. They felt that the terrain regarded just like the mineral supply talked about within the books. In a while, once they handed by once they attacked Xiongnu, they noticed that it was unguarded, so that they sealed the mountain.

Clearly, the Xiongnu folks themselves had missed that treasure land. Now, they even thought that they had been good sufficient to make use of it as a situation.

“I can inform that this can be a transfer that Xiongnu racked his brains to consider. Then, now we have to present them face and make issues troublesome for them.” Dean Lu was a person of his phrase. He solely agreed to trade land for mines “totally free” after making the Xiongnu folks assume that his plan had failed a couple of instances.

Nonetheless, Xiaoxiao didn’t intend to allow them to deliver again the iron ore that the veterans had labored so exhausting to move to Nice Xia again to Xiongnu.

In any case, though the mineral supply was good, it nonetheless wanted to be mined. Nonetheless, the tributes from the Xiongnu folks had been completely different. They may very well be processed into weapons straight. It was handy and simple.

Chernan didn’t keep in Nice Xia to flee the accountability of defeat. He nonetheless wished to make up for his errors and make a comeback.

In fact, he couldn’t deal with this alone, so he requested the Crown Prince for assist.

The Crown Prince was having a headache over the dried greens he had painstakingly obtained. No, the recipe for dehydrated greens was not as helpful as they imagined. Since Chernan got here knocking on his door, he naturally had no purpose to reject him.

The Yan Household had spent quite a lot of manpower and assets on dehydrated greens. Nonetheless, aside from incomes a sum of cash once they first launched this factor, nobody cared about it afterward.

That was true. So long as there have been contemporary greens to eat, who could be completely happy to purchase these dry greens?

He felt that he had been tricked by Xiao Ran, however they’d no proof, so they may solely swallow their grievances.

The Crown Prince had really been aggravated with Chernan for a very long time. Chernan couldn’t do something proper and will solely spoil issues. Each time he got here to Nice Xia, he would all the time threaten him with that concept.

He requested for cash one after one other. Did he assume he was a financial institution?

He was already very sad when he noticed how high-spirited the Third Prince had been not too long ago!
