The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 39

[39.Chapter 39: A True Man with Iron Blood]

Fang Jifan, who was well prepared, looked at the surprised Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile: “I am a person who likes to make friends. A cheerful person like Your Highness can never be exchanged for a piece of gold. He is a humble and loyal person. From now on, You don’t take money seriously, so your Highness must accept this little thing. If His Highness is dissatisfied with me, you can kill or cut him into pieces. But if you accept this money, I will feel at ease. “

I like it. Make friends…

If you have any prejudices, just beat them up.

But the premise is to collect the money.

This is simply sending warmth to the countryside.

Zhu Houzhao touched his nose, and when he heard the word friend, he was obviously moved. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Fang Jifan is very enthusiastic. Not only does he admire him very much, but he is also so generous. He is such a good person, isn’t he? Did you misjudge him before?

With that said, Fang Jifan was about to stuff the treasure banknotes into Zhu Houzhao’s hand. Just as Fang Jifan had judged, Zhu Houzhao had not fully activated his utter scum and scum nature at this time. Otherwise, how could Fang Jifan become the biggest prodigal in the capital? ?

On the contrary, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be squirming, a little embarrassed to answer, and Fang Jifan said generously: “Your Highness, there is no need to be polite, just take it and spend it as you like. Money is like dung, and wife is like clothes. I, Fang Jifan, have made a commitment to a friend like your Highness. If you don’t accept it, This money, His Highness just looks down on me, Fang Jifan!”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Fang Jifan’s image was completely different from his original imagination. He stopped being polite and took the money with a smile: “Actually, , I am also a loyal person. “

Fang Jifan has long figured out Zhu Houzhao’s temperament. Such a young man likes guns and sticks, and he likes fighting. He is a middle-aged boy. If you say some hot-blooded words to him, it will be easy to get along with him. Feeling close to him, he pretended to be surprised and said, “Ah, does His Highness also talk about loyalty?”

“That’s natural!” Zhu Houzhao said with a lively voice: “A man, loyalty comes first.”

It seemed that because of the large range of his movements, he There was a sudden ouch. It turned out that although the medicine was applied to the whip mark on his neck, the wound was not completely healed. Now that the wound was involved, the pain immediately made him cry.

Fang Jifan gave Zhu Houzhao a thumbs up: “Your Highness, your scar is very strange.”

“What…what do you mean?” Zhu Houzhao was a little angry. I don’t care about you, but you are fine. , Now there is no pot that is not opened and lifted. This wound was caused by you, Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said seriously: “The last time I saw His Highness, I just felt that His Highness was majestic. Although at first glance, he looked heroic and domineering, after all, His Highness’s temperament was restrained, which was not obvious. But today we meet Your Highness, after adding this scar, this man becomes even more masculine. Looking from a distance, the masculinity comes to his face. I often hear people say that the soldiers at the border are honored to have scars on their bodies, and Your Highness has this scar. A scar, a true man of iron and blood!”

“Huh?” Zhu Houzhao was happy when he heard this: “Is this true?”

Although it hurts, Zhu Houzhao thinks it makes sense. , how can a man have no scars on his body? He wanted to look for a bronze mirror and look at it to see if it was really what Fang Jifan said, but he felt that looking in the mirror was a bit too girly, and thought to himself, this Fang Jifan looks like a real person. , should not fool me.

At first glance, you can tell that he is honest and loyal, and he speaks very nicely.

Then he showed a majestic look: “I am a man, Fang…Fang Jifan? No matter what, I forgive you, I like heroes, and now I look at you, you are somewhat loyal, let’s go, I I’ll take you to ride a horse. “

Horse riding…

When Fang Jifan heard this, he was a little unhappy. History books say that Zhu Houzhao loved riding strong horses, and he hadn’t learned to ride one yet. If he was given a strong horse to ride on, I’m just afraid of making a fool of myself.

So I thought about how to refuse.

Zhu Houzhao, however, was familiar with it. He put his arm on Fang Jifan’s shoulder and happily walked back with Fang Jifan.

Liu Qian was still waiting to watch the fun, but when he saw the two of them coming back talking and laughing, his face changed. No way, His Highness the Crown Prince was beaten yesterday because of this boy named Fang. How could he suddenly… So affectionate?

He was filled with shock and doubt, but his face turned pale with fright. He didn’t dare to stay any longer and ran away in a flash.

Zhu Houzhao didn’t pay attention to Liu Qian, but said to the waiting eunuchs: “Go and prepare some of my horses from the Western Regions. I want to ride with Brother Fang.”

Several eunuchs and the guards behind had already arrived After being told, Zhu Houzhao gave the order and beat Fang Jifan first. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the heinous Fang Jifan became the Fang brother, so they all looked at each other in shock.

However, the leading eunuch said: “Your Highness, you can’t ride a horse now. It’s late and it’s time for Yang Shi to give lectures. Your Highness should go to Zuochunfang to study. Otherwise, if Your Majesty knows that His Highness has delayed his studies because of riding a horse, I’m afraid…”

Zhu Houzhao then remembered that he had not studied today, and suddenly showed a look of pain, and said to Fang Jifan: “Wait a moment, I will be back in an hour.”

After that, he led the eunuchs. .

Fang Jifan felt relieved, riding a horse? Damn it, I’m pretty good at riding a horse. It seems that for the safety of my life, I have to practice equestrian skills quickly in the future, but this prince is really easy to fool.

But the question now is, if His Highness goes to school later, will he still have to ride a horse?

No, we have to find a way.

Yes… Fang Jifan immediately remembered something and hurriedly asked a eunuch, and then found several captains of the Yulin Guard according to his ancestral ‘Sword of Benevolence and Righteousness’.

These captains had known that General Fang would definitely be beaten today, but when they saw Fang Jifan coming over intact, they were all surprised.

Fang Jifan murmured: “You guys…”

Several captains said in a hurry: “What orders does the commander-in-chief have?”

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: “Look for a small carving knife and some wood. Oh, I still need to find a piece of paper, and I’ll give you one stick of incense.”

Not to mention that Fang Jifan is the chief flag officer, but the immediate superior of several captains. The identities of Fang Jifannan, Bozi and the evil young master of the capital alone are enough to scare several captains to death. How dare these captains neglect them? Arrogant Hou Gong agreed and went to buy it.

At noon, Zhu Houzhao yawned and came out of Zuochunfang with a dazed look. He listened to Yang Shidu’s lecture today and fell asleep again. After yawning, he became more energetic.

He suddenly remembered something and asked the eunuch accompanying him: “Liu Banban.”

This Liu Banban was Zhu Houzhao’s personal eunuch Liu Jin. Liu Jin hurriedly nodded and bowed and said: “My slave is here.”

“Where is Brother Fang going? I’ve made an appointment with him to ride a horse. Please invite him quickly.”

Liu Jin felt sour, wondering why he was Fang’s brother, but he didn’t dare to say anything, so he had to go find Fang Jifan in a hurry.

When Fang Jifan followed Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao showed a big smile, waved to Fang Jifan enthusiastically and said, “Let’s go and ride a horse.”

Fang Jifan smiled and said, “Riding is boring.”

“What?” Zhu Houzhao suspected that he heard wrongly. Yes, just now he felt that he and Fang Jifan were compatible in temperament. Who knew that Fang Jifan actually said that riding a horse was not interesting?

Fang Jifan smiled slyly and said, “Your Highness, I have something more interesting.”

“What’s more interesting than riding a horse?” Zhu Houzhao looked unbelieving.
