Prison Dragon

The next day was Muxiu. Before Ruifang went to find Shangluo in person, Shangluo ran to the palace and squatted early in the morning.

Shangluo is from Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, but the cook in the Wangfu is from Jiangnan, whom Li Fei specially sought out. His taste is sweeter, just like Shangluo's taste.

If it wasn't for his old age and his family not letting him eat more sweets, he might be able to go to the palace to eat every day.

Early in the morning, Yang You was still sleeping late, Ruifang arranged for Shangluo to have breakfast, and at the same time urged Yang You to wake up.

Shang Luo liked the porridge from the Wangfu very much. He drank two big bowls and ate three shortbread. He wiped his mouth and wiped off the cake crumbs from his beard.

Yang You came late, dressed in white uniform, and saluted Shangluo.

"teacher."

Everyone in Taichang Temple regards Shangluo as their teacher.

Shang Luo nodded, patted the armrest of the seat beside him and said, "Come and sit, let's eat."

Yang You took his seat, holding the porridge in his hand to touch the wound on his chest, and hummed softly.

Shang Luo was concerned, but Yang You had nothing to worry about.Although Doctor Qin's hands are heavy, his medical skills are really good. The bruise disappeared after a massage yesterday.

Yang You picked up the bowl, and first asked Ruifang, "I told the refugees yesterday that I want porridge, you can arrange it properly."

Ruifang said: "I have already made an agreement with the masters of the Ci'en Temple. All these things will be taken care of by them. The Ci'en Temple has given alms for many years, and it is much safer than the people in our palace."

Only then did Yang You start to move his chopsticks.

Without saying a word, Yang You finished his breakfast quietly, and then he and Shang Luo took a pot of tea and went to sit in a clean place in the backyard.

Shang Luo cut to the chase and said, "My lord, what happened yesterday..."

Yang You patted his forehead: "I just wanted to talk to the teacher about this..."

He told all the things that Cui Jue came to see him last night, Shang Luo sipped and pondered for a while, and after listening, he offered Yang You another cup of tea, Yang You got up and took it with both hands.

Shang Luo stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That kid Cui Jue..."

He shook his head.

Yang You leaned forward, "I've never heard Cui Yan mention his brother."

Shang Luo said: "You child doesn't know something. Although Cui Yan and Cui Jue are brothers, the two have always been at odds. Cui Yan is a young genius, and is regarded by the Cui family as a bright jade, while Cui Jue has only ordinary qualifications in his studies. Ever since I was a child, I have been under the pressure of my elder brother."

Yang You understood, and smiled knowingly: "The Cui family is full of scribes, but Cui Jue is the only one who has become a martial artist. He must have saved his mind to compete with Cui Yan and the Cui family."

"You're right," Shang Luo said, "Cui Jue's character is rebellious and self-confident, and he likes to turn against Cui Yan. Just the little bit of innocence in his intestines, he still fights against Cui Yan... Sigh..."

Yang You almost spit out his tea with laughter, he didn't expect Shang Luo to speak so directly.

But Cui Jue was really ridiculous, and Yang You probably guessed what he was thinking.

Cui Yan took refuge with the second prince very early on, but Cui Jue was excluded from the core by the Cui family.Now in the court, if there is any most important joint, it is nothing more than an open and secret struggle among the princes.

Although Cui Jue is on the verge of fighting, he really has a heart to play with trends.Yang You guessed that he probably insisted on confronting his brother.Cui Yan was obviously Yang You's attendant, but he ran to support the fourth prince.Since he looked down on Yang You, Cui Jue decided to help Yang You and let the Cui family see who is the real person.

Obviously, Cui Jue is not as good at strategy as Cui Yan, so it is better to study more about leading troops to fight.

Shang Luo put down his teacup, it was getting a bit chilly in autumn, and the tea soon became cold.He said, "My lord, where is the boy he brought last night?"

Yang You asked someone to bring Niu'er up. He had been washed clean today, and his weed-like hair was tied into a bun on the top of his head. He was tall and tall, standing in front of the two with long hands and feet, vigilantly Staring at Shangluo.

Uncle Zhong led the others to salute: "I have seen the prince, I have seen Lord Shang."

Niu'er stood upright, Uncle Zhong nudged him under the armpit, and Niu'er slapped his hand away with a click.

"Still stubborn!"

Shangluo smiled.

I didn't take a closer look yesterday, but today under the sunlight, Yang You could see that Niu'er is still a handsome young man, but his expression is too fierce, which makes people feel that he has bad intentions, and instead covers his appearance.

I don't know what he has experienced, but his expression is ruthless at a young age.

Yang You signaled Uncle Zhong to step back, and raised his hand to summon Niu Er to come over for questioning.

"Cow over here."

Niu'er's vigilant expression was a little more relaxed now, and he had nothing good to say. He stared at Shangluo and said, "Who is he?"

"Which him?" Seeing that he was rude to Shangluo, Yang You felt a little angry, "Speak well."

Niu'er lowered his eyebrows and looked at him several times. Although Yang You liked to laugh, he was a person who rarely showed his emotions.Although he didn't show it on the face, Niu'er sensitively knew that Yang You was a little angry.

But no one taught him to speak well, nor what to do if he made a mistake and made people angry.

He stood next to Yang You helplessly.

Shangluo is an old man, if he can't even understand this young man, then he will have spent so many years in vain.Although Niu'er was rude to him, he didn't care too much, since he was not an important person after all.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Shang Luo asked, "What happened to the refugees' assembly yesterday?"

Niu'er said with a strong Hebei accent: "I heard people say that as long as you bring the cricket to the palace, you can get money, so I told the folks, and everyone came together."

"Are you the first refugees to come?"

"No," Niu'er shook his head. "We didn't believe it at first. How can there be such a good thing? But many people came back with money, and more and more people went."

Yang You frowned, "Could it be that someone deliberately misreported the news and wanted to stir up trouble among the refugees?"

Shang Luo didn't think so, he said: "It is true that someone came to collect money with crickets yesterday. It is better to spend more time thinking about useful things than to spend time on useless things.”

Yang You saluted, "Teacher teach me."

Shang Luo waved his hand, "I don't need to teach you. People gathering in chaos, no matter what the cause is, is a big event. The palace is close to the palace city, so it is even more sensitive. The prince's actions that day may have been noticed by others. The old man doesn't know how they will move. There is only one sentence left for the prince, so as not to change."

Yang You hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Shangluo knocked on the teapot with a small wooden spoon for holding tea, and it made a tinkling sound, "My lord, think about it, it was your money that was lost in the case of the refugees, and the palace was almost robbed by the refugees, you are the victim. No matter what they say , you will always act arrogantly, you are a victim, and you helped the imperial army to deal with the matter, it is fine if there is no reward, if someone still takes the opportunity to punish you, isn't that unreasonable? Crying and making trouble, how come you are a jerk, You have to know that in the whole world, no one can punish you except Your Majesty."

As expected of Shangluo, Yang Youmao suddenly realized.

Although Shang Luo was squeezed out by several elders, he still ate and drank in court, and even recruited several students to eat and drink with him.I'm afraid it's because of my thick skin.

It's just playing a jerk, he's already done it with ease.

Shang Luo looked at Niu'er, "As for this person, he has been targeted for a long time and cannot stay with you. But it is not a big problem for Cui Jue to send you here. You can find a chance to beat him up." Dun, throw it out, just say that you don't like him, and let Cui Jue bring it over to beat you to vent your anger."

Niu'er didn't say anything, Yang You looked at Niu'er, with an expression of doubt on his face: "This...isn't that good...what if someone thinks that Cui Jue and I have formed a party?"

He just didn't want to see Niu'er being beaten so he left him in the palace. If there was still a beating in the palace, why did he keep him?

"My lord!" Niu'er spoke suddenly, with a rare honorific title.

He was standing quietly beside Yang You and listening, but suddenly he knelt down in front of him.

"My lord, I think you may not be a bad person."

Yang You was angry and laughed at the same time.

Niu'er continued: "If someone asks me to slander you, I won't talk nonsense. Or just let me out."

Yang You thought in his heart, this kid has a bit of a conscience, he almost nodded in relief, but Niu'er made a sudden turn, "I have one condition, if you don't agree to me, I'll go and report you for mobbing people for conspiracy .”

Yang You's eyes widened. No matter how good-tempered he is, he should be angry. He angrily said, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Shang Luo's eyes immediately changed. He thought that this young man acted recklessly, but now it seems that his scheming should not be underestimated.

Niu Er pouted his neck and looked at him, "I know, my lord, your guards can't stop me."

Yang You looked at his physique, not to mention, even a skinny cow was bigger than the guards of the palace.

Shang Luo said: "Okay, tell me about your conditions."

Niu'er counted with his fingers: "My lord, you want me to take two hundred steamed buns with me, and I want twenty catties of beef, and a big gold."

Yang You and Shang Luo were waiting for him to finish speaking, but who would have thought that after he finished speaking, there would be no further words.

Yang You and Shang Luo looked at each other, neither knowing what Niu Er wanted to do.

"Finished?" Yang You asked tentatively.

Niu Er nodded.

Shang Luo asked: "You only need this little thing?"

Niu'er tilted his head and thought for a while, "I want another twenty catties of beef."

There was a moment of silence, with confusion appearing on Niu'er's face.

He didn't understand why the two dignitaries in front of him were so surprised by the steamed buns and beef.

Yang You couldn't express any emotions in his heart. He smiled and cursed: "You have never eaten meat, and you are thinking about meat all day long. Forty catties of beef can buy your testimony."

Knowing that Yang You didn't think his condition was too much, Niu'er was relieved and scratched his head: "If I can eat meat every day, I can sell my life!"

Yang You's throat choked, and he didn't speak any more. Shang Luo also sighed melancholy.

"Let me think about it again." Yang You said with difficulty, "You go down first and let Uncle Zhong take you to eat something delicious, just say that the prince asked you to eat well."

"Hey!"

Niu'er stood up cheerfully, pinching the hem of his clothes and said, "My lord, yesterday I ate thirty steamed buns made of white flour and a chicken skeleton, do you still have it today?"

Yang You froze for a moment before nodding.

Niu'er took the order and went happily.

Although Yang You came from the common people when he was young, his mother also came from Huajie and Liuxiang.But which of the makeup buildings by the Qinhuai River is not a painted building with carved railings, Luo Qi is so eye-catching?Although he was not rich in clothing and food since he was a child, he did not live a life of lack of food and clothing.

"Teacher," Yang You said slowly, looking at Niu'er's back, "I used to only know that there are people in this world who sacrifice their lives for glory and wealth, some for fame and fortune, and some for the world."

"I just found out today that there are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for eating meat." He looked at Shangluo, "Eating meat is such a simple thing."
