QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots
Chapter 159 - 6.10

Chapter 159: 6.10

The night was as dark as paint, and the dark clouds covered the moon.

Yan Wuluan returned to his woodshed.

He heard that the two eunuchs were killed with a rod, and the Northwest Palace was taken back and given to him again.

But Yan Wuluan took a look and saw that it was bare inside and everything had been removed.

But no new additions were made.

Their intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

This is to reward him with the good reputation of living in the Northwest Palace but also force him not to really live there at all.

After all, it was already late autumn, and there was nothing inside. The empty Northwest Palace was not as warm as the low woodshed.

The Northwest Palace was given to him, and it was his own business to manage it.

What a nice statement.

Ah.

Both honorable and humiliating.

They have worked so hard for a hostage, so he has to give something in return, right?

"Ah, ah ah, rats, there are rats... Wow..."

A frightened cry resounded throughout the crown prince’s palace.

The already somewhat drowsy eunuch and palace maid were suddenly startled and became busy in a short time.

Some lit candles went to appease Yuan Jin and some went to catch the mice.

The eunuchs who were pointed out to catch mice groped and looked around, but they didn’t even see a trace of a mouse.

"Your Highness, are you having a nightmare?"

The nanny who was taking care of the Crown Prince raised her hand and touched the sweat on Yuan Jin’s forehead, and pointed around the palace with some disapproval, "Look, where are the rats? Rats don’t dare to come into the palace."

Yuan Jin looked around with tears still hanging on his face. Sure enough, there were only panicked eunuchs and maids in the spacious hall, but there was no rat in sight.

However, when he was sleepy, he clearly felt several mice crawling onto his quilt!

Another one ran up to his face and scared him awake!

He even felt the subtle sound of the mice swishing away again the moment he sat up.

"It’s not a dream!"

Yuan Jin became a little anxious when he heard what the nanny said.

"There really are rats! You slaves dare to question Your Highness! Humph!"

Although Yuan Jin was still young, he was born to be the only child of the emperor. He was named a crown prince at the age of two. He seemed to have known his identity for a long time and had learned to put on airs.

As soon as the little prince showed his power, the eunuchs and maids in the hall immediately fell silent, and they all knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The next day.

When Jiang Jiamian came to the study room, he saw Yan Wuluan and Yuan Jin already sitting in their respective seats and waiting.

But what made him a little strange was that the two people who were still conflicting with each other when they met yesterday, now both sat on the chairs obediently, waiting for him to give a lecture. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

It wasn’t until Jiang Jiamian got closer that he suddenly realized that Yuan Jin’s little face was pale as if he hadn’t slept well. Occasionally, he glanced secretly at Yan Wuluan and showed some fear on his face.

Jiang Jiamian frowned slightly but did not ask further questions for the time being.

His exposure will only make Yan Wuluan panic, and then he will be helpless.

The best way is to let nature take its course.

"Let’s get started. You have a big age difference and can’t be classmates, so I have planned the course schedule for you separately. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will continue to learn new words today. Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, do you have any questions about yesterday’s book? If not, you can read this today."

A book was handed to him, with the title ’War Strategy’ printed on the brand new cover.

Yan Wuluan thought it was another printed book, so he opened the first page casually, but then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he flipped through several pages in disbelief, and then he was sure that the ink marks on this book were new!

It’s handwritten!

If he wants it, will he give it to him?

The teacher turned out to be better to him than he thought!

Looking at Jiang Jiamian’s expression yesterday, Yan Wuluan thought that the teacher must be angry because he muttered something at that time.

He was worried about it day and night.

The huge surprise suddenly filled Yan Wuluan’s heart, and he couldn’t help but reveal an extremely real smile on his face, like a child who had been craving for candy for a long time and finally got it.

But soon, it was not just a surprise, but as he suppressed his joy and carefully read the content of the book, the surprise turned into inner wonder!

What kind of book is this?

There is such a complete and ingenious way of using it.

Such a strange book should not be unknown, but he had never heard of it!

After reading the two volumes, Yan Wuluan was already immersed in the ingenious strategies in the book. It was not until Jiang Jiamian spoke and asked them to rest for a while that he came back to his senses.

Seeing Yuan Jin go to ask for water and snacks from the eunuch waiting outside the door, Yan Wuluan moved to Jiang Jiamian’s side in a few steps, holding the book in one hand and gently pressing on the table with the other. "Teacher, it is difficult for me to study this kind of strange book clearly for a while. Can the teacher explain it to me carefully?"

Jiang Jiamian glanced at his extremely oppressive posture and couldn’t help but reveal a gentle smile, "You need to think about this book by yourself. But remember, be quick."

This book is a book that he refined from his knowledge of multiple worlds.

For Yan Wuluan now, it couldn’t be more useful.

But how much he can understand, can only depend on Yan Wuluan himself.

Hearing his last words, Yan Wuluan’s eyes flashed, "Please express it clearly, teacher."

Jiang Jiamian glanced at the door.

Yuan Jin was actually taken by the eunuch to the bathroom.

This undoubtedly made Jiang Jiamian relax a lot. He lazily leaned his back on the back of the chair and looked at Yan Wuluan, "Do you know why the emperor is willing to listen to my opinion and let you really come to the study room?"

Yan Wuluan felt hot, was it really the opportunity that the teacher had fought for him?

He just knew it.

"Why?"

But he really didn’t know what method this man who fascinated him used to convince the emperor.

"Because he really needs dignity and the so-called great-country demeanor." Jiang Jiamian tapped the table with his index finger a few times, "But this dignity and demeanor are meant to be shown to the envoys of the six countries, so you don’t have much time. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yan Wuluan’s heart trembled, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Jiang Jiamian’s words.

He knew that the envoys from the six countries would come to Dongli Kingdom to pay their respects next month.

In this way, the good things now are not long-lasting.

Maybe after next month, he will be beaten back to his original shape!

There will be no chance to step into the study room again, and no way to see the person he wanted to see openly.

"I understand."

Yan Wuluan’s eyes dimmed, and the knuckles of the hands hanging by his sides turned white.

Jiang Jiamian glanced at him and said, "Raise your head."

Yan Wuluan raised his head.

His expression was still dispirited and gloomy.

Jiang Jiamian’s finger tapping on the table suddenly became a little harder, "I am not saying these words to make you unhappy. But I want to remind you, can you seize this month and find a chance for yourself to turn around? It depends on how determined you are."

Yan Wuluan looked at him sharply.

Obviously, he didn’t expect that he would say such words blatantly to the foreign hostage.

Being nice to him might be pity or sympathy.

But as the teacher of Dongli Kingdom, it was different to almost explicitly remind him that as the prince of Xifu Kingdom, he should be planning to make a comeback.

After all, the entire country should not hope that a person from another country will try to stand up.

Especially the Emperor of Dongli.

How dare Jiang Jiamian.

"Why do you have to remind me like this?"

After the shock, Yan Wuluan’s rationality returned and he began to become suspicious.

Could it be that he was deliberately trying to be kind to himself on behalf of the Dongli Kingdom so that he could take off his guard, and then use his words to test whether he had any other ideas?

Maybe once he really responded to his words, he would turn around and report the results of the test to the Emperor of Dongli?

Don’t blame him for being suspicious. In fact, no one has ever been kind to him. Once someone is kind to him, even he himself doesn’t dare to believe that the other person has no purpose.
