Chapter 219 Reward
The stream flows happily, the waves chase it, gurgling and stirring up foam like snow.
It was in this beautiful scenery that was as poetic and picturesque as a scroll, Fang Jun fell asleep, not knowing what was going on in the world...
Even Du He, a dandy, is a little drunk. With this environment, this scenery, and this stream, if there could be more beautiful prostitutes accompanying him, red peaches, green willows, gurgling streams, and a blue sky curtain and green grass as a mat. The meeting of mandarin ducks is so beautiful...
Li Chengqian also felt that the fatigue along the way was swept away by the clear stream, and his mind was cleansed, feeling quite relaxed and happy.
After stopping the guards behind him from going to wake up Fang Jun, Li Chengqian walked to the stream and leaned forward to look under the clear stream. Sure enough, the fishhook was empty and the bait had long been taken away by the fish. .
Look up at the mountains, the water, the willow trees, the peach blossoms...
The charm is leisurely.
It seems that this is a different realm compared to the Nine-Five Supreme and Yuji Tianxia.
Fang Jun was startled by the footsteps around him and woke up leisurely.
He squinted his eyes slightly, adjusting to the already dazzling sunlight, and looked at the tall and tall young man next to him.
This man is about 20 years old, with sparse eyebrows and long nose, a straight mouth, a purple gold crown with hair tied with jewels on his head, two dragons on his eyebrows tied with gold to smear his forehead, and a Sichuan brocade gown with gold and stone and blue flowers. Wearing a palace ribbon with colorful silk flowers and long spikes, she wears green satin and pink-soled court boots.
Fengshen is handsome and noble!
"Uh..."
Who is this? He's so handsome that he looks a little familiar...
Turning his neck, he saw Du He on the other side not far away, who was releasing the fish he caught before going to bed in the fish basket. He suddenly woke up and shouted: "Stop!"
Du He felt very unhappy when he saw Fang Jun sleeping in. Isn't this such a blessing? When I saw the fish basket placed on the side, I suddenly felt bad. I quietly picked up the fish basket and turned it upside down on the pebbles by the stream. The two or three catfish inside fell into the stream.
This scene happened to be seen by Fang Jun. The loud shout made Du He tremble with fright. His foot slipped and the pebbles he was standing on suddenly became unstable, and he fell into the stream...
Fortunately, the stream was not deep. It was nearly waist-deep, but he was soaked all over. He choked on several mouthfuls of cold water and was in a miserable state.
Fang Jun got up and limped over to pick up the fish basket that had fallen on the shore. He brought it over and found it was empty. There was not a single fish...
He immediately became angry, threw the fish basket towards Du He, and cursed: "Your uncle! Is it easy for me to catch two fish? Huh?!"
Du He dodged the fish basket and rested his feet on the rocks at the bottom of the river. Unsteady, he sat down in the stream and almost choked him to death. He got up in embarrassment, pulled his neck and shouted: "You are going to drown me." Huh?”
Fang Jun was so angry that he boasted to Wu Mei Niang early in the morning about catching a few catfish in Haikou and making a dish of boiled catfish. But are catfish so easy to catch? After a whole morning of hard work, I only managed to catch fish as long as the palm of my hand for two days, but in the end I was let go by Du He...
Is it easy to fish as a semi-disabled person?
The more Fang Jun thought about it, the more angry he became. Seeing that Du He actually dared to stand in the river and scream, and then thinking about all the unloyalty and selfish behavior of this guy in the past, he suddenly felt angry and evil. He picked up the fishing rod, pulled off the hook, swung it and hit Du He on the head.
Du He stood in the stream, unable to escape, and was hit on the head by the fishing rod. He screamed "Wow!" and almost fainted!
Shouted: "Your Highness, save me!"
It wasn't over yet, and then the fishing rod hit me like raindrops. I could only raise my arms to protect my head and face, and I was screaming and screaming from the whipping, and I was in a miserable state.
In the end, I couldn't hide anymore, so I had to roll around and choke on my water several times before I ran to the other side of the stream.
Fang Jun put away the fishing rod and looked at the young man in brocade robes with confusion, Your Highness?
After looking carefully, I remembered that it was Li Chengqian...
We knew each other before, but Fang Jun was passed down from here, so our past memories are sometimes a little confused and blurry. People who haven't seen each other for a long time tend to be forgotten.
Two days ago, my father said that he wanted the Crown Prince to come to express his condolences, but he didn't expect that he would come so soon.
It seems that His Majesty Li Er also realized that there was something wrong with the remnants of the party who were pursuing the "violation of the crime" with great fanfare, and released Li Chengqian to appease the Turks - why Li Chengqian? Because this guy has loved the Turkic language since he was a child, and he also likes to wear Turkic clothes. He especially admires the Turkic Jieli Khan in his heart. Therefore, when he had nothing to do, he and his companions would put on Jieli Khan's clothes and play Turkic games...
He has good relations with the Turks.
This can also be regarded as a release of attitude.
Generally speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very out of character...
"Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Fang Jun grinned and bent down to salute, to show that he was seriously injured, and his waist was only halfway up...
Li Chengqian didn't notice that this guy had to give up even a salute. He grabbed Fang Jun's shoulder and said repeatedly: "No gift, no gift! I came here today because of the entrustment of my father to express condolences to Aiqing for her injury. Two acts of loyalty and bravery to serve the country as a reward! ”
Fang Jun's eyes glanced at the carriages parked on the roadside...
Forget about expressing condolences, just saying a few nice words for free is the same as not saying anything at all; commendations are different, at least give me two treasures or something, right? I think that with His Majesty Li Er's level, he wouldn't do something as mundane as rewarding you with copper coins and a few cars...
Fang Jun then said sternly: "How dare you worry about Your Majesty? It is our duty to serve the country loyally and die for ourselves! However, this award..."
Li Chengqian was caught off guard by his turn. The first half of the sentence was still about impassioned patriotism, but the second half went directly to awards...
"His Majesty ordered to reward Fang Jun with ten catties of gold, fifty pieces of Shu brocade, and silver cakes..."
A lot of nagging, all about money.
After Li Chengqian finished mumbling, he felt a little strange when he saw Fang Jun's obviously disappointed expression. Was there something he had forgotten to say? After thinking for a while, he made sure that he had not forgotten anything, and then asked: "Why don't you thank Erlang?"
Fang Jun said in shock: "It's over? That's all?"
Li Chengqian said: "Ah, that's all, they're all in the car behind. Do you want Erlang to check it out?"
Fang Jun rolled his eyes, feeling extremely depressed.
Vulgar, vulgar is unbearable!
Are you guys working hard just for money?
Even if he doesn't issue an explicit decree to cancel his marriage to the princess, he should at least be promoted to an official position, right?
Isn’t it looking down on people by giving them a bunch of money?
Are we such vulgar people?
We have plenty of money now...
Li Chengqian couldn't understand why this man looked unhappy. This was an explicit award from His Majesty the Emperor, and it had to be written on his resume. This thing was ten times better than the young master of Zaifu's family!
Let's put it this way, no matter whether Fang Jun is promoted or transferred based on his father Fang Xuanling's connections, he can't say no, but there will always be censors who will come around and make irresponsible remarks. Fang Xuanling always wants face, right? With so many censors watching, there is always something to worry about.
But it's different with this reward.
This is merit and a hard-hitting political achievement!
How does Fang Jun know this?
In his eyes, this is a humane society where everything is governed by people. As long as there are people, everything will be there.
Whether you can be promoted or not is a matter of His Majesty's word; whether you can use the back door or not depends on whether your connections are strong or not!
What's the point of all this nonsense?
I feel unhappy, this attitude is naturally not good, let alone a prince who is about to die, even if His Majesty Li Er is in front of him, this guy dares to show off his face...
"Well, it's already late, it's cold in the mountains, and His Highness's mission has been completed. How about...hehe..."
Li Chengqian didn't understand for a while. This was... seeing off guests?
His eyes suddenly widened. The things were delivered, and he didn't even care about the meal?
No matter what, I am also a dignified prince, the future heir apparent of the country!
Fang Er, don’t go too far!
"Haha, the scenery in this mountain is beautiful and pleasant. How can I go out alone? Why don't Fang Erlang invite me to come and sit down? Speaking of which, this trip is very tiring. Su Wen Erlang's fragrant tea is the best among teas. Can I have a drink? ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile.
If you want to drive people away, just drive them away? Your Highness refuses to leave, what can you do to me?
Only then did Fang Jun remember that the man in front of him looked elegant, handsome and graceful, but in fact he was not a fuel-efficient lamp. When it came to seeking death, he had to be willing to be inferior...
How can such a person be dismissed casually?
He had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Thanks to His Highness for being so important, I am so flattered that I have my wish, but I dare not invite you..."
Li Chengqian smiled brightly: "Then you're making trouble for Erlang!"
Fang Jun snorted, put away the fishing rod, didn't want the fishing basket, and walked back.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Li Chengqian's triumphant smile, and I suddenly felt panicked...
Then he stopped, smiled harmlessly, and said: "Your Highness has been living in the palace for a long time. I think he must be very bored. With such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be nice to just sit by the stream, drink wine and sip tea?"
The smile on Li Chengqian's face suddenly froze. Don't you even let me enter?
