Chapter 719 "Marquis Xuanping" + Princess, you misunderstood
Wang Lin looked at the little kid who came in with a swagger in a depressed mood, and then turned to look at the others with hope on his face. As a result, the remaining people also ignored him like the little kid, walked straight past him and entered the Iron Eagle Guard Camp.
Finally, Wang Cheng said, "I'm on a business trip today. Come and take over. Don't delay."
Hearing this, Wang Lin grinned, hurried to Xiao Yining's side, and cleverly stretched out his hand: "Princess Le'an, I will take you to see Marquis Xuanping."
Little Yining raised her head, glanced at him with her big round eyes, raised her chubby little hand to show respect, and warned him with concern: "Okay, but don't crush my bones!"
Wang Lin was overjoyed upon seeing this, and hurriedly held the fat boy's hand gently. In an instant, the softness of his palm made him happy, and he even turned his head to look at the two old men with a smile on his face.
Wang and Lin looked at each other speechlessly, then turned away with disgust and observed the Iron Eagle Guard Camp.
Neither of them had been here in their previous lives. Firstly, the Iron Eagle Guard had a rule that no outsiders were allowed to enter, and secondly, they both had a bad relationship with Wang Lin for their own reasons.
Little Yining's ears were filled with humming and hawing sounds, and he looked around with his big curious eyes. He saw that most of the Iron Eagle Guards around him were half-naked, but their masks seemed to be welded to their faces and did not fall off due to the intense training.
The Iron Eagle Guards' training did not stop because of the arrival of the uninvited guest. They just glanced at themselves when she passed by, then retracted their attention and continued with their current tasks.
As they walked along, the little kid's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: They are worthy of being my uncle's personal guards, they look very powerful.
At that time, Marquis Xuanping also hurried out after being informed by his subordinates. He glanced at Xiao Yining and his group, then his eyes fell on the dozen or so carts of winter supplies behind Xiaowa, with undisguised surprise in his eyes. After secretly exchanging a look of disbelief with his subordinates, he lowered his eyes to look at Xiaowa, bowed without changing his expression, and expressed his sincere thanks.
"Thank you so much, Princess Le'an. In previous years, I led people to the Ministry of Works to request these winter clothes, but they always refused. This year, with the help of the princess, I have saved a lot of trouble."
Although the Iron Eagle Guards do not fight in wars, they are the emperor's personal guards and are required to undergo high-intensity training every day and night, causing their uniforms to be severely worn out.
Two sets of uniforms were issued every quarter, and although the Iron Eagle Guard had fewer people than the military, it was still a huge expense. For this reason, whenever the date of issuance was delayed, the Iron Eagle Guard had to argue with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works.
The date for distributing the medical uniforms this year was also postponed for quite some time. Whenever Marquis Xuanping had free time, he would go to the Ministry of Works to drink tea.
The little girl didn't know that the task the old man gave her could solve the urgent problem of the Iron Eagle Guard and also help Wang Lin improve his prestige invisibly.
Her vanity was satisfied again by Marquis Xuanping's words. She kept the old man's advice in mind and replied modestly, "Marquis Xuanping is too polite. My uncle said that you have done a great job in saving the emperor and should not work too hard. I asked this princess to help you deliver it. You can also visit my second uncle while you are here."
The little kid shook his head as he spoke, making people around him laugh.
Only Xuanping Hou had a calm look in his eyes, with a fake smile, staring at the little boy. With a wave of his hand, the sound of drills in the camp was stopped. He ordered, "Come here, distribute the guard uniforms."
As soon as the order was given, several Iron Eagle Guards quickly stepped forward to contact the officials from the Ministry of Works who were transporting the winter clothes, and distributed them on the spot in an orderly manner. During the whole process, everyone was silent and disciplined.
This scene made Wang and Lin's eyes flash slightly, and they both turned their gaze to Wang Lin at the same time, and saw him smiling at the kid heartlessly, with a look of pride.
The two old men subconsciously exchanged helpless glances again.
Lin Yuzan: →_→, you are right, it makes no difference whether your brother comes back or not.
Wang Cheng: ←_←, just get used to it!
Little Yining was also shocked by the Iron Eagle Guards' absolute obedience to Marquis Xuanping. She turned to look at her second uncle, but was again speechless at his silly look. She then looked away in disdain.
At this moment, Xuanping Hou, who had been paying attention to her, said, "Princess, it will take about half an hour to distribute the uniforms. Why not let Wang Lin take you around? It will be worth the trip."
Then, whether intentionally or by coincidence, he suddenly started coughing, winked at his subordinates beside him, and left with unsteady steps.
Little Yining watched the man's disappearing back, and she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. She looked up at the trusted official who stayed behind and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, the Marquis of Xuanping is afraid of me and has come into the house!"
Official: ...
The trusted official laughed and replied, "My princess, you are joking. The wound that the Marquis sustained the day before yesterday has not healed yet and he still needs to rest. If the princess had not come in person to deliver the winter clothes, the Marquis would definitely not have appeared in public."
As soon as he finished speaking, the kid asked, "Uncle, Marquis Xuanping is not feeling well but still wants to come here. Is it because he is afraid of having his salary deducted? My second uncle stayed at home for a few days and was caught by my uncle and sent to the North City. He has not received his salary yet."
Official: ..., what's your response?
Fortunately, at this time, the kid's family finally stood up and stopped the kid's strange questions.
Lin Yuzan took a step forward and picked up the little kid: "Qing Jie'er, Xuanping Hou is different from your second uncle, so they can't be compared!"
Wang Lin also quickly agreed: "Of course, of course, Sister Qing, don't think about Xuanping Hou anymore, there are still many interesting places in the Iron Eagle Guard Camp, and your second uncle will take you to have a look."
The two of them showed a rare tacit understanding. They took the baby away without saying anything, and ignored the baby's words of sympathy for Marquis Xuanping's injury.
Not long after they left, the Marquis Xuanping, who had left earlier, quietly reappeared. There was an Iron Eagle Guard beside him, who was reporting in a low voice, "My Lord, I just learned that the Emperor suddenly ordered Princess Le'an to send winter clothes before he went to court today, and the Ministry of Works happened to have completed the production of these winter clothes yesterday."
Xuanping Hou pondered for a moment, then said sarcastically, "What a coincidence! Wang Lin just told his family yesterday to come visit, and the emperor gave him such a good reason."
The Iron Eagle Guard lowered his voice and continued to report, with a hint of puzzlement in his tone: "General Zhenbei returned to the camp after discussing this matter with his family yesterday. And after Princess Le'an and her family returned home, they never set foot out of the house again."
