Chapter 27: The Enthusiastic Cheng Yaojin

  "Yunfei, you're really too good to me! I never thought that someone would treat me so well! Since entering the palace, I thought my life was over. I never dared to hope for anything more! Yunfei, I'm truly happy!" Xiaolian leaned gently against Li Yunfei's chest, her face filled with happiness, especially as she held the gift Li Yunfei had given her. In this moment, she was the happiest person in the world!

  "Xiao Lian! From now on, you can die happy! Because I will treat you even better from now on!" Xiao Lian's happy appearance gave Li Yunfei an added sense of satisfaction. After all, this was the most beautiful Xiao Lian, and making one's own woman happy was something every man should do, wasn't it?

  "I hate it! How can you say that to me!" As she said this, Xiaolian's voice was already a little weak and soon fell into a dream, with a smile hanging from the corner of her mouth, indicating that she had a good dream. Li Yunfei lightly sniffed the fragrance on Xiaolian's body, at this moment, wasn't he happy too?

  Li Guan's family rushed into the room in a hurry, but when he saw Li Yunfei and Xiaolian's appearance, he immediately shut his mouth!

  "Shh! Let's go out and talk!" Li Yunfei gently put down Xiaolian and carefully walked out with Li Guanjia, leaving behind a warm and sleepy Xiaolian. She had been waiting for Li Yunfei to come back all day and was indeed a bit tired!

  "Little Prince! Nothing happened this time you went out, right?!" Just now, Li the steward bumped into Li the commander and only then did he know that Li Yunfei had returned, and also reported on what had happened. This time, although nothing major occurred, it was necessary for Li Yunfei to form a personal guard. After all, the Imperial Guard was only sent by the Emperor to protect the Prince of Qin and the estate, but the most crucial thing was that the Prince of Qin opposed the Imperial Guard's close protection, so there was no choice but to let the Prince of Qin establish his own personal guard!

  "Hmm! Alright! Anything going on? Oh right, Li Guan Jia, this is your money!" Li Yun Fei suddenly remembered that he hadn't returned the money to Li Guan Jia yet.

  "No need! Your Majesty, this was originally prepared for you by the Emperor himself, and I was just keeping it on his behalf. This time, I came mainly for your personal guard, since you don't want the Imperial Guard to follow you, then your external safety can only be entrusted to your trusted personal guard! I wonder when you plan to establish it!" The old steward had given more thought to Li Yunfei's affairs, and judging from this young prince's behavior, he had already forgotten about that matter!

  "Ah! So that's it! Indeed, there is such a thing! Hmm! Li Guanjia, notify everyone, post notices all over the country, and say that I, the king, will hold a martial arts competition at the south gate of Chang'an. Anyone with a clean background who can make it into the top 200 can become my personal guard! At that time, they'll be an overnight sensation, haha!" Li Yunfei thought back to the frequent scenarios in movies from later generations and wondered why he couldn't do it himself, especially since he now had the ability.

  "Yes! Young Master Wang's move is really clever! I'll go and arrange it now! But I don't know when it will be held?" Li Guanjia still supported Li Yunfei's idea, as heroes often emerge from the grasslands, which is an undisputed fact! Nowadays, many national officials have emerged from humble backgrounds, but the time spent on such matters would be very long, so he asked Li Yunfei how much time was needed.

  "Hmm! Let's do it in a month! The first place can be the Imperial Guard, and the second and third places can be the Deputy Commander. By the way, Li Guanjia, you mentioned business matters earlier, I have some new ideas to share with you!" Li Yunfei told Li Guanjia all about his thoughts on the jewelry store owner's idea, and Li Guanjia couldn't help but admire it. There might be a few minor details that hadn't been thought of, but overall, it was definitely going to be a huge success.

  "Yes! Young Master Wang, I'll go and take care of it right away! However, the method you mentioned earlier for recruiting imperial guards is a bit too grand, it's not something that can be done by me alone. So, you should still request an imperial edict from His Majesty, that way I can also carry it out!" What Li the steward said was correct, to post notices nationwide, this king didn't have such authority.

  "Uh-huh! You go ahead and take care of business, I'll make a trip to the imperial palace. I'm sure Father Emperor will give me this face, after all, he promised me this! Li Yunfei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. It's better to handle these things himself, thinking about it and doing it right away, anyway there's still time. As for Father Emperor's favoritism, Li Yunfei still has a good impression."

  "Yes! I'll go right away!" Li the housekeeper was also very happy, he finally had a chance to show off his skills. Although he wasn't short of money, he enjoyed the process and with Li Yunfei's strong support, how could he not do this risk-free business? Li the housekeeper quickly retreated, seeing him hurry off with quick steps, seemingly even more anxious than Li Yunfei.

  "Haha! Li Guanjia is really something, but with him around, things are much easier!" Li Yunfei also walked towards the front yard in big strides, "Someone come! Prepare the horse carriage, I'm going to the palace!"

  "Return to the palace! Steward Li has already given orders, the carriage is ready, just outside the gate!" A servant hastily walked up to Li Yunfei's front, knelt down and saluted.

  "Oh!?" Li Yunfei didn't know what to say to this Li Guanjia anymore, "Alright! Since it's like this, let's set off!" Li Yunfei walked out of the gate and took a look. Six snow-white fine horses were pulling a luxurious carriage. What else could be his own ride?

  "Ha! Nephew! ? Is that really you! Now, are you preparing the carriage to go somewhere?" As soon as he walked out the door, Li Yunfei bumped into the person he least wanted to meet. Li Yunfei looked at Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin with a wry smile, and indeed, he had a lot of fate with this guy! Especially looking at Cheng Yaojin's short shirt and small sleeves, it seemed like he had just finished practicing his skills. Of course, the four little Cheng Yaojins were also dressed in the same way.

  "Oh! So it's Uncle Cheng, Little nephew is going to the palace for a trip and has something to discuss with Father Emperor!" Li Yunfei also had no choice but to force himself to go up, after all, he couldn't run away now that they've met!

  "Ah! Is that so? Can you tell me about it? Maybe old Cheng can help you out!" Cheng Yaojin really liked this King of Qin, of course, it was the kind of liking an elder has for a younger person. Looking at how comfortable and relaxed he was, then looking at his own four sons who were all awkward and ugly, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed! He didn't even want to think about what he himself looked like!

  "It's like that, Uncle Cheng! It's mainly about my two hundred Imperial Guards. Uncle might not be able to help with this, I'd better go find the Emperor!" Li Yunfei could only tell the truth, otherwise who knows how long this would drag on?

  "Hah! Isn't it just a matter of the Imperial Guard? How can I, Old Cheng, not handle it? Another day, I'll get two hundred troops from the army to bring over for you!" Cheng Yaojin's enthusiasm remained undiminished, leaving Li Yunfei helpless, and he could only slowly explain to Cheng Yaojin, but this only further piqued Cheng Yaojin's interest!
