Chapter 274
It is not new that living people are needed to test medicine.
Shen Mingcheng is the King of Xiang, and he has contacts with some local sects. Medicine King Valley has also "borrowed" living people from him before.
The effects of some elixirs are too extreme.
It is not suitable to use disciples of Medicine King Valley to test, because it will cost lives, so they will borrow some death row prisoners from him.
After all, he is a vassal king, and it is just a matter of a word.
It is a bit surprising that Shen Yuze came to buy face in person this time, and so many people are needed.
Shen Mingcheng patted Shen Yuze on the shoulder.
"Why are you pretending in front of your sixth uncle? Although I am in Xiangzhou, I have heard about your affairs in Haojing."
"You have a close relationship with the little girl Song Zhirou. Last time, you personally sent her back to Medicine King Valley. This time you come here to sell face for him."
"My little nephew, do you want to make her your wife?"
Shen Yuze felt that Shen Mingcheng asked too many questions.
His face was already showing dissatisfaction.
Shen Mingcheng laughed and quickly changed his words: "Sixth uncle, I'm just asking casually. Those death row prisoners will be escorted to Yaowang Valley by people from Xiangzhou Prefecture. You can do whatever you want with them. Anyway, they will be executed in a while."
"Thank you."
Shen Yuze thanked him indifferently and was about to get up and leave. Shen Mingcheng warmly saw him out of the palace.
There was nothing wrong with his attitude.
After Shen Yuze flew away, he raised his hand and stroked his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
Shen Mingcheng shouted: "Butler Zhou!"
"I'm here!"
An old servant came over humbly.
Shen Mingcheng asked unhappily: "Where did that kid go? Find him back now!"
"Are you referring to the prince?"
"Who else but him?"
"I'll find the prince right away."
After a few minutes, a young man dressed as a scholar came over with a book of saints in his hand, which Shen Mingcheng hated the most.
"You stare at those broken books all day long, what's the use of it!"
"I told you to practice martial arts well, but you didn't listen!"
"Shen Yuze, who is of the same generation as you, has already reached the Xiantian realm!"
The person who came was the prince of Xiangwang Mansion, Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan had heard this kind of words countless times, and shrugged indifferently: "Dad, I have told you countless times that I don't want to practice martial arts, I want to study."
"Okay, shut up, I'll give you a job." Shen Mingcheng said impatiently.
"What's the matter?"
"Go to the prison in Xiangzhou later and take out the hundreds of death row prisoners. You can send them to Medicine King Valley in person."
Shen Qinglan said reluctantly: "Dad, why don't you just send a general?"
"See, after so many years of studying, you don't even understand the ways of the world."
"Go and get closer to Master Song of Medicine King Valley."
"You are also at the age of marriage, so pay more attention."
Shen Qinglan found it hard to accept what Shen Mingcheng said.
Is this an opportunity for me to pursue Song Zhirou?
Seeing this, Shen Mingcheng pulled his son aside and whispered: "Dad didn't succeed in getting Nan Rongyue. If he had succeeded, he wouldn't have stayed in Xiangzhou, a place of mediocrity."
"Whether Dad's line can take the next step depends on you."
"As long as you can marry Song Zhirou home, we father and son will have more say in the court."
This is not difficult to understand.
At any time, the status and value of elixirs are the hardest currency among hard currencies.
Shen Mingcheng wanted to use "marriage" to shake the elixir system established by the court so that he could get a share of the pie and then strengthen his status as a vassal king.
In Shen Qinglan's view, such behavior is extremely stupid.
Shen Qinglan heard about it from several classmates.
Song Zhirou, the master of Yaowang Valley, had long admired Yuwang Shen Yuze when she was in Gaojing.
If Su Jingxian hadn't suddenly appeared.
Then, Yuwang's wife would most likely be Song Zhirou.
Shen Qinglan didn't want to compete with his own brothers for women.
It's really cheap!
If the father is shameless, the son must have it too.
Shen Qinglan didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he decided to go in person.
Not to find Song Zhirou, but to find Shen Yuze.
Reveal his father Shen Mingcheng's intentions to him in advance.
If there is any dispute, I will get rid of it as soon as possible, so that I can safely inherit the throne of King Xiang in the future.
As for finding a woman.
There are many women with excellent looks. At most, I can spend money to buy them. There is no need to worry about marriage.
Doing this is a bit like stabbing my own father.
Shen Qinglan is sure.
What I did is absolutely correct!
"Okay, then I'll go."
Shen Mingcheng is nearly sixty years old, and his smile is not heavy at all, but like a gangster.
Seeing him like this, Shen QinglanI hate him from the bottom of my heart.
He has lived for most of his life. He committed a serious crime when he was a prince, and he did not make any achievements when he was a vassal king. He could not keep his wife when he was in his thirties, and he still wanted to rely on women to make further progress when he was nearly sixty years old.
Thinking of his father's experience, Shen Qinglan cursed in his heart.
"Whether he is fake or not, whether he is righteous or not, whether he is a king or not, whether he is a king or not, whether he is a father or not!"
Shen Qinglan then went to the Tianlao.
He took the king's order waist card and brought 392 death row prisoners to Yaowang Valley with 3,000 Xiangzhou soldiers and horses.
In the evening.
Several female disciples of Yaowang Valley were welcoming them at the entrance of the valley.
The two generals beside him began to look up and down, and their eyes could only be described as obscene.
Shen Qinglan on horseback scolded: "You are generals, take back those gangster eyes!"
"Prince, this young lady is so beautiful, what's wrong with looking at her a few more times." The famous general was still grinning.
Snap!
Shen Qinglan pulled out his whip and whipped him hard on the face, knocking him off the horse.
"No rules, no order. If all the generals of Dayun are like you, then is this an army or a gang?"
The general prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"I know my mistake!"
Shen Qinglan said loudly: "After entering Yaowang Valley, no one is allowed to behave rudely. Violators will be punished for harassing civilians' homes!"
"Yes, sir!"
An incompetent general leads the whole army astray.
The incompetence of a vassal king made the military discipline of Xiangzhou army uneven.
If they don't use some ruthless tricks, these soldiers will definitely make a fuss in Yaowang Valley, and then they will lose face.
After taking the death row prisoner into Yaowang Valley.
Shen Yuze learned that his cousin Shen Qinglan had arrived and came out to greet him in person.
According to etiquette, Shen Qinglan half-knelt on the ground and saluted with his fists.
"Shen Qinglan, the prince of Xiang, pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
The royal etiquette is like this. Shen Yuze is the legitimate son of the previous emperor, and Shen Qinglan is the prince of a vassal king. Before he inherited the throne of a vassal king, his status in the royal family was not even as high as that of a concubine's son.
Shen Qinglan was two years older, and Shen Yuze was also very polite.
"Cousin, please get up quickly. Sixth uncle is really a fool. He asked you to come here in person just to escort a prisoner."
Shen Qinglan smiled respectfully and said, "Your Royal Highness Prince Yu, I came here to tell you something."
"Oh?"
"How about speaking to you for a moment?"
