Chapter 314 Xue Pan’s Foreign Aid
At the entrance of the alley, Xue Pan, Jia Lian and others were standing with respectful eyebrows.
According to the advance notice, Zhu Jinghong should have arrived a moment ago, but until now there was no one on the street.
On the other hand, the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division had cleared the streets in advance, making the surrounding area seem quiet.
After standing for so long, Xue Pan felt a little tired, but he still didn't dare to leave.
"Brother Lian, I'm sorry to bother you." Xue Pan turned around and looked at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian smiled gently and said, "Brother Pan, there is no need to talk about this between you and me."
The two of them were chatting in a low voice, but Jia Rong and Jia Yun, who were standing behind, There are different moods.
Jia Rong has also become an alternate Dragon Guard, and finally has an official status. Today, he and Jia Lian are here to see the "world".
As for Jia Yun, he has reviewed it again in his mind, hoping that his preparations will be foolproof and that he will show up at the critical moment later.
It can be said that except for Xue Pan, everyone present has a strong sense of professionalism, which is very different from the original "history".
While everyone was waiting, they heard a series of horse hoofbeats coming from the front, causing Xue Pan and others to immediately prepare for the attack.
But what they saw were several guards, the first of whom was dressed as a dragon guard. From this, he knew that Zhu Jinghong was not far away.
As the visitor approached, Jia Lian recognized Lu Yuxin, and they had some friendship in private.
After approaching, Lu Yuxin got off his horse, and with him came the soldiers of the flag guard.
"Brother Lu, why are you here first?" Jia Lian greeted him.
Handing the horse's reins to the accompanying soldiers, Lu Yuxin tightened his wristbands, and then replied, "The Thirteenth Master will be here soon. I'll explore the way for him first."
Jia Lian smiled and said, "This job fell into Liao's hands. It shows that Brother Lu is highly valued by the Thirteenth Master and has a bright future."
Although he is the legitimate son of the Duke of Guo, Jia Lian does not have a condescending attitude.
On the one hand, he has an easy-going nature, and on the other hand, he recognizes Lu Yuxin as a friend.
"Brother Jia is too modest, I am just running an errand for the Thirteenth Master"
"Brother Lu is too modest"
After saying this, Jia Lian turned around , introduced to Xue Pan who was standing on the spot, "Brother Pan, this is Brother Lu of the Dragon Imperial Guard, and his family is also Jinling Yingtian Mansion."
Hearing the introduction, Xue Pan's heart was filled with bitterness. Of course we can’t forget Lu Yuxin.
Half years ago in Yingtian, when he and Feng Yuan were competing for Yinglian, he had dealt with Lu Yuxin. When they fought in the street, he was almost killed by the guards.
Although they knew each other, Xue Pan pretended not to hear at this moment, cupped his fists and saluted, "I have met Brother Lu"
Lu Yuxin also recognized Xue Pan. Since the other party pretended not to know him, he treated him as It was the first meeting.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Lian introduced Lu Yuxin to Jia Rong, and pointed out that his uncle and nephew were also candidates for the Dragon Guard.
Lu Yuxin looked at where he came from and said, "You passed the test earlier, so you and I can work together."
For the noble disciples to join the Dragon Guard, they must pass the test and meet the corresponding requirements. They can be selected, and the remaining spots will be given to the children of military commanders to compete.
For the latter to be selected, it would be a huge success, the average ratio is close to one in a hundred, and you must have real ability.
For someone like Lu Yuxin, his family is only a sixth-grade commanding officer, just above the standard for being selected for the Dragon Guards. If he is selected, he will definitely be considered the top scorer.
"From now on, I have to rely on Brother Lu to give me more guidance."
"Brother Jia is serious about his words. I am a humble person, so I have to rely on you to look after me in the future."
Such high-sounding polite words are endless, and time flies by faster.
When he heard the faint sound of drums, Lu Yuxin reminded, "The Thirteenth Master is here."
How could everyone dare to neglect, they all stood solemnly to welcome Zhu Jinghong's arrival. .
About a few minutes later, Zhu Jinghong’s guard of honor appeared first, and then a large group of people arrived and surrounded the alley.
When Zhu Jinghong's sedan came down, Xue Pan and others knelt down in advance to greet him.
The curtain was opened, and Zhu Jinghong slowly walked out.
I saw him wearing a black gauze winged crown and a red round-collared robe with four dragon cloud patterns. This is the regular attire of a prince.
"Kowtow to the Thirteenth Master" Xue Pan and others kowtowed.
"Well, get up," Zhu Jinghong replied calmly, but looked towards the alley.
The alley is not long. There are dozens of guards standing on each side at the moment. There are also guards guarding several courtyards on both sides. The nearly 100 foreigners' residences are silent at the moment.
"Thirteenth Master, everyone you want is inside." Xue Pan stepped forward to guide.
Surrounded by guards, Zhu Jinghong walked slowly inside and asked casually, "How many people are there in total?"
Xue Pan replied, "Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, I originally came to Jingyi One hundred and five people, two died of illness during this period, and seven people felt they couldn't bear it and left. Now there are ninety-six people left."
Stop, Zhu Jinghong turned around and asked, "Can you bear it? What’s the point of living there?”
“Although the villain paid them a lot of money to hire them, he also told them that the imperial court wanted to reuse them.”
“In the past few months, Thirteenth Master has not When summoned, some people thought that the imperial court did not need them, so they left."
Zhu Jinghong understood this. It was obvious that these people left in anger because they were "unappreciated for their talents."
In this way, some of the people who left may have real abilities, while those who stayed are more likely to do it for their own benefit.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What are the specialties of those people who left?"
"This"
With this sentence, Xue Pan was He asked, how could he have thought that Zhu Jinghong would care about the people who were gone.
"Yeah"
Xue Pan couldn't answer, so he turned back to look at Jia Yun, who was isolated at the moment.Outside the core circle, stood together with Jia Lian.
"Thirteenth Master, the villain has specially appointed someone to take charge of this matter. He should know the details." As he said this, cold sweat broke out on Xue Pan's back.
"Call him over" Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice.
Lifting up his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Xue Pan turned around and shouted, "My dear nephew, come here quickly, Master Thirteen wants to ask questions."
Hearing Xue Pan's words, Jia Yun secretly Sigh the opportunity has come.
After taking a deep breath and secretly encouraging herself, Jia Yun stepped towards Zhu Jinghong.
"The villain Jia Yun meets the Thirteenth Master"
Looking at the young man kneeling respectfully in front of him, Zhu Jinghong was slightly surprised. He did not expect to meet this person here.
Although he has not read the original book of Red Mansions, he still knows that Jia Yun is a rare good person in Red Mansions after watching the TV series.
Of course, TV dramas are just TV dramas, but now it is the real reality, and Zhu Jinghong believes in his own judgment even more.
"Get up and answer"
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master." Jia Yun stood up carefully, hunching her waist and not daring to look at Zhu Jinghong.
"Xue Pan said that seven people couldn't bear it and left. Each of these people had their own specialties."
Jia Yun was responsible for everything in the alley from beginning to end. He has been very clear about everything since he took charge, and he is confident at the moment when facing questions.
"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, three of them can make muskets, two are good at making cannons, and the other two like to draw ships, so they probably know how to build ships."
Guns, warships, The top priority for future expansion is that if these few are really capable, Zhu Jinghong will do his best to find them back.
Of course, he has a more important thing to do right now, which is to inspect the more than ninety people left behind.
As he continued walking into the alley, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What are the abilities of the remaining people?"
Jia Yun was about to answer, but was followed by Xue Pan took the lead.
"Back to Thirteenth Master, the remaining man-made guns, cannons, warships, and sailors are all here. In order to bring these people together, the villain even made a special trip to Luzon."
Xue Pan's words inevitably meant asking for credit, but Zhu Jinghong didn't resent it. After all, he was working for him.
I just heard Zhu Jinghong ask again, "These people are from those countries. How many can make guns and how many cannons?"
These Xue Pan have done their homework, but Perhaps because he was too nervous, he couldn't remember the detailed data for a moment, so he didn't even dare to answer randomly, so he could only glance at Jia Yun.
