eunuch

Chapter 19 Mission
"Xiao Chengzi, this mission is very confidential, you must not tell it, or I will punish you."

Prince Su Zhe looked serious.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will strictly keep the secret."

Ye Cheng quickly promised.

But I was a little uneasy in my heart, wouldn't this involve some palace secrets?
When the task is completed, will Shi Zi kill himself in the end?

Companion king is like companion tiger, the risk is great.

"Xiao Chengzi, you don't have to be nervous, as long as you work hard for the prince, the prince will never treat you badly."

Su Zhe felt that what he said just now was too serious and would increase Ye Cheng's psychological pressure, so his expression and tone softened a lot.

"The minister will definitely go through fire and water for His Highness, and will not hesitate to do so."

Ye Cheng swore immediately without blinking an eyelid.

If the risk is really too great, then find a way to escape.

"Xiao Chengzi, the Crown Prince knows that he saw you right, that's how it is, you can find a way to leave the palace in a few days, and then go to Shuzhou."

Prince Su Zhe patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder, very happy.

Then he lowered his voice and began to talk about the task to be explained.

Ye Cheng looked bewildered, leaving the palace to go to Shuzhou?
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he thought of a possibility.

Wasn't that girl Chaoyun taken away by Jianzi of Tianjianmen?

And Tianjianmen is the martial arts school in Shuzhou.

No way, the crown prince has not forgotten that girl Chaoyun?

What kind of magical power does this girl Chaoyun possess to make the dignified Crown Prince of the Qian Kingdom still obsessed with her?

Isn't it just a little purer in appearance, a little more charming, a little more delicate figure, and a little whiter skin?

Anyway, after he saw it, his heart was calm.

"Cough cough."

Prince Su Zhe saw Ye Cheng's expression, coughed immediately, and then said: "After finding out about Miss Chaoyun, come back and tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Cheng accepted this task without hesitation.

Isn't it just to go to Shuzhou to find out the news?

This task is quite simple.

To this day, he has not had the opportunity to go out and take a good look at the customs of this world.

Now that the war has subsided and the social order is gradually restored, if you go out, you should be more cautious and low-key. Coupled with his acquired Dzogchen cultivation, it should be relatively safe.

"This is the fund for the task that this son will give you, and there will be a reward when you come back."

Prince Su Zhe took out a box and put it in front of Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng opened the box and saw that there were ten silver ingots and some gold leaves inside.

There are twelve silver ingots, a total of 100 taels.

It is estimated that there is also a gold leaf of 30 taels.

There is also a bottle of pills.

Pulling open the cork, a strong medicinal fragrance came out.

It is the best refined rainbow pill.

There are at least dozens of them.

Compared with gold and silver, this top-grade essence rainbow pill is the most valuable.

Although it is useless to Yecheng, it is also a real hard currency, and it is easy to exchange for gold and silver.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Ye Cheng held the box in both hands, and said respectfully.

"Remember, you must never tell what the prince ordered."

Su Zhe exhorted.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the minister will leave first."

After Ye Cheng finished speaking, he took the box and left.

In the room, Su Zhe got up and walked under a wall, stretched out his hand to pull a thread, and suddenly a painting quickly fell down.

Above is a portrait of a woman.

Brilliant.

It belongs to that girl Chaoyun.

"Miss Chaoyun, after all, you and I have no destiny. After a while, I will follow the etiquette and accept the crown princess."

Su Zhe looked at the portrait and lost his mind for a long time.

He vaguely remembered that six years ago, when he was studying at Lanxi Academy in Cangzhou, he met a girl who made his heart flutter. Since then, he would often skip school to secretly look at that girl.

Until one day, he never saw the girl again.

Later, after inquiring about the news, I found out that a huge change had taken place in the girl's family, and the court ransacked her home.

He has been using the power of Prince Jing's Mansion to find out the whereabouts of the girl.

It was not until a few years later that he saw the girl again on the boat in Xianglan Pavilion.

Girls grow up.

But also reduced to prostitution.

He thought he could finally stand in front of the girl, but he didn't expect a difficult problem, which gradually shattered his inner illusions.

"As long as you live well in Shuzhou, I'll be relieved."

A gentle smile appeared on Su Zhe's face.

He sent Ye Cheng to Shuzhou to see how Miss Chaoyun was doing.

This could be regarded as the last obsession deep in his heart.

a few days later.

Ye Cheng found a reason and got approval to leave the palace.

Walking on the streets of Yujing, there is a lot of traffic and voices, and it is extremely lively and prosperous.

It is not the first time he has left the palace.

When I was working in the military department of Taiwu Palace, I went out of the palace to inspect several weapon workshops.

These weapon workshops are all outside the palace.

It's just that I was on business at that time, and I didn't have time to play in Yujing.

This time he went out of the palace with the mission of the prince, and felt that it was necessary to visit Yujing.

Anyway, this task is not urgent.

It is two to three thousand kilometers to go to Shuzhou. Even if it is a day and night journey, it will probably take a week.

It took three days for Ye Cheng to visit Yujing all over.

The Qinglou culture here is also very developed.

The famous Red Lantern Street is a beautiful feature of Yujing City.

If it wasn't for Ye Cheng's powerlessness, he would definitely go in and take a good look around.

He also inquired about the housing prices in Yujing by the way.

A house with a slightly better location can't be bought without a few hundred taels of silver.

He will definitely buy a property in Yujing City in the future.

After all, he can live forever and stay in the palace, that is not acceptable.

When he is a little older, he will plan to leave the palace.

Living outside is also more carefree.

On the fourth day, Yecheng spent a lot of money to hire a carriage, left Yujing, and went to Shuzhou through the wide official road.

This road has to pass through several states, and the distance is long. In order to make the journey more comfortable, naturally, I can't wrong myself.

The groom is a dark-skinned middle-aged man named Shen Dacheng. He looks simple and honest, and his driving skills are very good.

He has practiced martial arts, but he has practiced horizontally and externally. He has no achievements, so he joins the car dealership, travels all over the world, and has rich experience.

This Shen Dacheng looked honest, but he was a real talker.

Since leaving Yujing, she has hardly stopped talking.

Ye Cheng didn't care too much, he also found it interesting to listen to him talk about anecdotes and customs of various places.

"Young master Ye, I see that you come from an extraordinary background, why don't you have any followers around you? I have been to the road of Shuzhou twice. It was easy to say before, but now the war has just ended for a few months, and there are still people in some places. The scattered rebellious army turned into bandits."

Shen Dacheng was driving the carriage, nagging in his mouth.

"Old Shen, since it's dangerous, you still dare to go?"

Ye Cheng lifted the curtain, and suddenly a heat wave hit, and the road outside was dusty.

Although it has already entered autumn, the temperature is still very high. It is said that several states are severely drought, such as the area where Yujing is located, it has not rained for almost three months.

"Young Master Ye, there's nothing you can do about it. How can you make money without taking some risks? The whole family has more than a dozen mouths waiting for me to eat and drink. During the previous war, the business was sluggish, and the young one has been struggling at home for several months, and now he's coming back soon." It’s winter, we have to earn more before the twelfth lunar month, otherwise this winter will be difficult.”

Shen Dacheng said helplessly.

Ye Cheng knew that this was the real life of people at the bottom.

This is true in any world.

He put down the curtain, and with the curtain, the heat wave outside could not come in.

The temperature in the compartment was several degrees lower than outside, and there were some ice cubes in the tub beside him, which could effectively reduce the temperature in the compartment.

On the ice cubes, there are also some fruits.

In this hot weather, using ice cubes to escape the heat is a luxury, and only the rich can afford it.

Ye Cheng had no chance to use money in the palace, and he had some money, so since he came out, he naturally couldn't wrong himself.

He picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.

Sweet and refreshing.

In this slightly stuffy compartment, there is a special flavor.

After eating half of it, he suddenly picked up another piece and handed it outside the curtain.

"Old Shen, here you are."

"Ah, Mr. Ye, how can such a small coachman eat yours?"

"Eat as soon as I let you eat."

"Thank you sir."

Shen Dacheng outside was so grateful that he caught the frozen watermelon and took a bite.

With the cold juice entering his stomach, he suddenly felt much cooler.
