That night, Shen Yan was about to hug his four thousand silver notes to bed.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Shen Yan immediately shouted. The Embroidered Spring Knife beside him was also in his hand.
Now that he had a huge sum of money, he was especially careful.
"I'm Old Gao."
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
When he heard Gao Yong's voice, Shen Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother Gao, why are you here so late? Did something happen?”
Shen Yan opened the door and saw Gao Yong's depressed and indignant expression. He was also carrying a few jars of wine and a few dishes with wine.
"Sigh. He didn't say anything else and came to drink with his brother.”
With that, he opened a jar of wine and gulped it down.
Shen Yan didn't ask any more questions. He guessed that Xiao Qi's matter was ruined.
Sure enough, he had only taken a few sips when Gao Yong said it himself.
"Damn it, what kind of world is this? I've worked hard in the Brocade Guard for more than ten years. I have achievements, qualifications, and abilities, but I don't have money to show my respect.”
"Until now, I'm still a fucking lieutenant.”
Shen Yan sighed and patted him on the shoulder. He did not know how to comfort his brother.
Because he couldn't understand the pain.
"My father-in-law and I went to the centurion's place tonight to give a gift. Guess what he said? Not enough. Even three hundred taels of silver was not enough. If the other party wanted six hundred taels of silver, it was only possible if he said so. Three hundred taels isn't a big chance."
Gao Yong roared, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"He doesn't know that the 300 taels I took out included the 100 or so taels I borrowed from the gambling den.”
At this moment, Gao Yong took another huge gulp.
Then, he fell to the ground.
After Shen Yan finished cleaning up, he sighed. This was the life of a low-class person without any strength.
In the eyes of outsiders, they might be the domineering Embroidered Uniform Guards, but in the eyes of those big shots, they were actually nothing.
Gao Yong's incident also strengthened Shen Yan's determination to work hard to improve his strength.
The next morning.
Gao Yong had already recovered his usual carefree self. He rubbed his head awkwardly.
"Brother, I'm sorry for making you busy all night and letting you listen to my nagging.”
"If you're a brother, don't say such things.”Shen Yan smiled.
Then, he took out a stack of banknotes."This is three thousand taels. Let's try again. We don't want the small flag anymore.”
When he saw so many banknotes, Gao Yong was stunned.
" Shen Yan, don't tell me you're going…"
"What are you talking about? I won this at the casino yesterday. I was lucky.”Shen Yan looked at Gao Yong's expression that had suddenly changed and said hurriedly,""Actually, I just went to inquire about Ye Gucheng and played a few rounds.”
"Brother, listen to your elder brother's advice. You can't touch this thing, it can destroy your family.”Gao Yong warned again.
"Don't worry." Shen Yan smiled and promised,"Take this banknote."”
"No, the position should have been decided last night.”Gao Yong shook his head." Besides, I've given up. I'll just live like this for the rest of my life. As long as I'm safe and sound, that's fine."”
Although Gao Yong said so, how could Shen Yan not hear his unwillingness?
"Didn't you like a house like that of the concubine? This amount of money is almost enough to buy a place." Gao Yong changed the topic." I'll ask your sister-in-law to introduce you to a wife another day. You can start a family as soon as possible." It would save her from having too much energy at night and going out for a stroll.”
"Buying a house is a good idea. Forget about marrying a wife." "My conditions are too high." Shen Yan smiled.”
"Haha, don't tell me you want to be the Prince Consort?”Gao Yong gave him a punch. Eh, where's your waist token?"
At this moment, Gao Yong looked at Shen Yan solemnly.
"Last night, I lent it to a friend. I was afraid that he would encounter some danger on the way.”Shen Yan smiled nonchalantly.
"Shen Yan, are you stupid? That is the waist token of the Jinyiwei. Do you lend it to all your friends? If the commander finds out, or if your friend uses it to do illegal things, even if you have nine heads, it won't be enough.”Gao Yong scolded angrily.
"Little Wei is not that kind of person."
"You guys are gambling buddies. You know each other through gambling. Do you think there are many loyal people there? It seems like your injuries haven't fully recovered yet. You even made such a huge mistake.”
"Alright, Big Brother Gao, he might already be waiting for me at the entrance of the guard station.”
"That bullshit Little Wei, if you can bring me the waist token, I'll follow you…I'll call you big brother.”
…………
East City Royal Guards, guard six.
Shen Yan and Gao Yong had just arrived at the entrance of the guard station.
A servant dressed in gray ran over.
"Are you Lord Shen Yan?"
Shen Yan nodded and smiled.”
When the servant heard this, he was almost scared out of his wits. His legs went weak and he almost fell."Shen…Lord, your…your waist token.”
After saying that, he quickly fled.
"This Little Wei's servant is really interesting, seeing the Embroidered Uniform Guards scared him like this.”Shen Yan smiled and turned to Gao Yong."Don't you think so? Little Gao."
"You should just call me Little Yong, big brother.”Gao Yong glared at him and said loudly.
East Chamber.
Wei Xiaobao listened to the eunuch's trembling report.
When he heard the words "Little Wei", his face was filled with joy and he even clapped his hands. Interesting, interesting. I'm even looking forward to the moment when he finds out my identity.
In this world, there were only three people who dared to call him Little Wei.
One was his god-grandfather, one was the emperor, one was his mother, and now there was one more.
After laughing, Wei Xiaobao turned to the trembling eunuch on the ground."Go and collect twenty court guards as punishment for neglecting my big brother.”
"Thank you for your reward, Governor."
Royal Guards, East City Guard.
Four main banners, eight small banners, and more than a hundred lieutenants anxiously waited for the arrival of the centurion lord.
Because today was the day of the triennial transfer.
Shen Yan looked around. There were people who were happy, but at the same time, there were people who were dejected.
From this, it could be seen who would be promoted and who would step down.
"Big Brother Gao, why isn't this Lord Centurion here yet? Hurry up and announce the announcement. Hurry up and leave." Shen Yan whispered.
"Be quiet, Big Brother." Gao Yong reminded him.
"I was joking. You took it seriously, Little Gao.”
"Yes, big brother."
