“When I passed the prince's mansion in Cangzhou on my way back, I asked Long Hanqing to gather a group of skilled blacksmiths for me. I wanna see them by the end of this month at the latest. As for the safety of my imperial sister-in-law and Seven(Qi), I think it doesn't need me to make the arrangement. Six (Liu), it's time for your Men of Sacrifice to move their muscles.”
Not knowing when, Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing who had been staying in Chu Yunhan's room already moved to Ling Jingxuan's room. And behind Yan Shengrui stood two young men looking like dark-faced gods. When Ling Jingxuan and Chu Yunhan went out, they happened to hear what they were talking about. They gave each other a look and then walked to Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing respectively.
“Still not done yet? Who are they?”
Casting a light glance at the two people behind Yan Shengrui, Ling Jingxuan sat next to him. Yan Shengrui waved his hand, almost in an instant, those two men already came before them, “This is my wife. You should call him Master Xuan from now on.”
“…”
The two of them were a bit hesitating, but soon got down on one knee, “Master Xuan!”
Ling Jingxuan picked his eyebrows. Of course he didn't miss that instant's hesitation. That was the performance of refusing to admit him. But he just ignored them, only said to Yan Shengrui, “Your Shadow Guards?”
“Yeah, two of them, called Yan Yi (here uses homophonic to give them names. Yi means one. Er means two, Shan means three and Si means four) and Yan Shan. Yan Yi is good at collecting information, the world's affairs, those vassals' thoughts, the imperial family secrets, basically all in his grasp, and Yan Shan is responsible for assassinating, his lightness skill could top the world, I plan to let them stay to protect Xiaowen and Xiaowu, and teach them knowledge and martial arts by the way.”
His Shadow Guards were not many, only four of them, each of them with special skills, with a lot of people under their command, several major commanders of Yan Shengrui.
“So are there also Yan Er and Yan Si?”
He could ell from their names that he was too lazy so he just named them with numbers.
Throwing him a 'how do you know' look, Yan Shengrui curved his lips, “Not Yan Er(二) and Yan Si(四) but Yan Er(贰) and Yan Si(司). Yan Si was good at using poison, almost all kinds of poisons. So you would like him. Yan Si is good at tracking down without exposing himself, his unique breath-holding skills, even I can hardly sense it. I asked them to go to town to make preparations for my imperial sister-in-law. I'll let them to pay respects to you some other day.”
At the end, his tiger eyes suddenly swept over Yan Yi and Yan Shan kneeling on the ground, two of whom couldn't help making a shiver, head down, not knowing what they had done wrong.
What they didn't know was even Yan Shengrui dared not give his wife his attitude, but they directly showed his wife their face the first time they met. Yan Shengrui was not blind, he already showed mercy not to teach them a lesson.
“Forget about that. It's too much for me. That's your things about how to make the arrangements. I just don't want to see them again.”
Apparently they didn't like him. He wasn't so bored as to put his hot face against their cold butts. They could serve whoever they liked, which had nothing to do with him, as long as they didn't bother him.
“Well…”
Yan Shan and Yan Yi got dumbfounded there, looking up at him with disbelief. So he was detesting them?
“Hehe…Yan Yi, your crown princess is pissed!”
On the other side, Zeng Shaoqing who had been enjoying the scene directly pointed it out for them. Yan Yi and Yan Shan couldn't help feeling more embarrassed. And Yan Shengrui's face turned even gloomier. But only Ling Jingxuan didn't show any mood swing. He didn't care whether they liked him or not.

“Go and kneel down before the gate now. You can only get up when the crown princess says yes.”“Master?”
Wearing a white and bloodless complexion, Yan Yi and Yan Shan already had the heart to die, secretly cursing themselves for being so stupid to embarrass the crown princess before the prince. Even if the other side was a farmer who wasn't good enough for the prince, what did it have anything to do with them? Now what? They received the punishment. Judging from the appearance, the crown princess shouldn't be a pushover. So did they have to kneel there till the end of the day?
“Or, do you want me to do it for you?”
With a dangerous squinting, Yan Shengrui leaned back lazily with one hand on the back of the chair. Yan Shan and Yan Si's strong and tall bodies suddenly trembled, “No, we dare not!”
The two figures already disappeared with those words, and soon there were two more statues kneeling there to guard the gate, one on the left and the other on the right.
“There's no need to punish them. They're your Shadow Guards. It's enough as long as they are loyal to you. It's all right to me.”
It was not that Ling Jingxuan was speaking for them, but only stating a fact. It he wanted some personal guards, he could train some himself. Even if it was Ling Jingxuan's people, he still felt insecure. Besides, now he still didn't need such upscale things like Shadow Guards.
But Yan Shengrui obviously held different opinion. Rarely he opposed him using a serious tone. Ling Jingxuan helplessly held his forehead and no longer wanted to argue with him on this, so he directly turned his eyes to Zeng Shaoqing, “About the grape wine last time, do you like it, Lord Six?”
“Not bad. I heard you want to cooperate with me?”
The drama was over, Zeng Shaoqing had to withdraw his thoughts for fun. From the beginning when he asked people to get him investigated, he already had the heart to work with him. After tasting the dishes they cooked, he was surer of it now.
“Well, every month I'll provide three menus and send someone to teach Xinyuan's chefs. I want 20 percent of Xinyuan's turnover.”
Cutting the crap, Ling Jingxuan held out two of his fingers. At first, he only wanted to ask for twenty percent of the turnover of the dishes on his menus. As for the extra money he charged, only took it as the interest for that punch he gave him yesterday.
