The old master shook his head: "If I don't have enough understanding, I won't be able to understand it even if I give you advice."

Let Yang Hongling prepare lunch.

The two of them walked to the chessboard.

"Next round?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Out of respect, Zhang Ronghua asked him to hold the white stone first, but he refused, so he had to hold the white stone himself, and landed a white stone on Tianyuan in an upright manner.

The old master smiled meaningfully, and the little guy spoke loudly. Heizi followed, coming and going. It took a full meal. By the time Yang Hongling finished the meal, the game was not over yet.

The chessboard is full of chess pieces and there are no empty positions.

According to the rules, it ended in a draw, with Bai taking the lead and winning by half, so Zhang Ronghua was considered the winner.

"You will lose too?"

The old master ignored her and looked at him, quite puzzled: "Strange! A person's energy is limited. You have made such great achievements in martial arts, soul master, and physical body. Why are your chess skills still so advanced?"

Zhang Ronghua also didn't expect that his chess skills were so good that he would meet his opponent today: "People are different, maybe this is talent!"

"Let's go! Let's go to dinner. Hong Ling will cook in person. It's a rare thing. You can't just eat it if you want it."

Entered the lobby.

The meal is simple, with six dishes and one soup, all of which are the spiritual objects of the courtyard, containing rich spiritual energy, and a pot of Tianqiong Jade Brewing.

"How is Hong Ling's craftsmanship?"

"Better than the chef of Tianxiang Tower."

The old master smiled meaningfully: "She knows more than this. When you get to know each other more, you will naturally understand."

After dinner.

Yang Hongling sent him out of Destiny Academy and waited for him to leave before returning again.

Seeing his grandfather waiting for him in the courtyard, as soon as he stopped, his voice rang out: "Grandpa didn't lie to you, did he?"

"The talent is really evil! I'm not as good as him."

"Would you like to think about it?"

"snort!"

She glared at him fiercely, stamped her feet on the ground, and turned around to leave.

The old master shook his head: "What you say is not what you mean."

The three days of vacation passed quickly.

today.

Zhang Ronghua put on his dragon robe and took Zheng Fugui to the East Palace. He came yesterday afternoon. When he arrived at the door, Ma Ping'an waited for a long time and hurriedly greeted him: "His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the Xuanhe Hall."

He nodded and responded.

When they arrived at the back hall, Ma Pingan did not go in, but waited outside.

The two entered the main hall, clasped their fists and saluted: "I have met His Highness!"

The prince is in a good mood. The case has been solved. Except for Princess Changxi, the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan in the past few days has yielded huge results. He has also secretly supported some people. In this wave of confrontations, he has made a lot of money and rarely smiles. Pointing to the chair: "Sit."

Qing'er served tea, poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.

Zhang Ronghua held the tea cup and held the lid to hold the tea. When the water cooled down, he took a sip and put the tea cup down.

"You have made great achievements this time. I have never been stingy with those who have made meritorious deeds. I will promote you to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the East Palace Guards. You will be rewarded with an inn, ten thousand taels of silver, hundreds of spiritual fruits, and ten pots of heavenly jade brew."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Looking at Zheng Fugui, the prince said again: "Although you are not as meritorious as your cousin, you are still worthy of recognition. I will promote you to the rank of General of the East Palace Guards and reward you with two thousand taels of silver and three pots of Tianqiong jade."

Let him go out first.

Zhang Ronghua waited patiently, knowing that he had something to say.

"What happened this time, Gu understands one thing. People are harmless, but tigers can hurt others. If Gu doesn't take action, they will do it! They tried every means to pull Gu down from this position. Even Princess Chang Xi, a woman, can't do it. Breeding ambition and getting involved in power, how can they give up?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"When the arrangements are made here, I will notify you naturally! I will give you a day off to see if you are satisfied with the inn."

The palace door is closed.

Qing'er was puzzled: "Are you too kind to him?"

The prince looked serious and said seriously: "He is worth it!"

There was one more thing that was not revealed. Yang Hongling invited him to be a guest at Destiny Academy two days ago. He got the news immediately. It was said that it was on the order of the old master.

If Zhang Ronghua had no outstanding qualities, how could he win his favor?

Outside.

Ma Pingan congratulated: "Congratulations!"

"Your Highness gave me a day off and asked me to go to the inn to check it out."

"What position?"

Zhang Ronghua took out the house deed, No. 162 Zhuque Avenue, one of the most prosperous streets in the capital. All the people living nearby were dignitaries and wealthy owners.

"This time you are really successful. With this golden chicken that can lay eggs, you no longer have to worry about money."

Chatted for a few words.

Leaving alone, Zheng Fugui still has to be on duty.

Go back home first, find your parents, and tell them the news.

After listening.

Zhang Qin's face was serious, without any joy: "The prince is completely tying us to his ship. With fixed assets, we can still make money every day, and we can pass it on. No one is willing to give up unless it is a last resort. This is unacceptable." Give us a way out, and we can go all the way to the dark side."

"When he gave it to me, he had already guessed his intention. With the current situation, we can only accept it. There is no way out."

"What rank is the commander of the East Palace Army Guards?"

"From the fifth rank, I will be in charge of the Dragon Guards and the Prince's Guards, a total of four thousand people."

Zhang Qin fell into deep thought and walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back.

It stopped after a while.

"Now you can only work hard to climb up. The higher your status, the greater the power you have. No matter whether it is the prince or anyone else, they will not dare to touch you!"

Zhang Ronghua understood what his father meant and held the four thousand men tightly in his hands.

With his prestige among the Dragon Guards and his secretly supporting confidants, even if he does not have the position of Zhonglang General, he can still mobilize them when necessary.

On the other hand, the Crown Prince's guards had never been in contact with him before and had few close friends.

However, with Zheng Fugui here to help him keep an eye on it, others can't hide it from him even if they want to make small moves. It is only a matter of time before he can completely master them.

Again.

He has also left a backup plan. If the prince really falls, he still has the old master. If he is asked to help in times of crisis, he will not refuse.

If not.

She wouldn't let Yang Hongling invite him, let alone teach him the Haoran Ten Thousand Swords Technique, and let him stay for lunch. She would still cook the food herself.

They valued him, and when the test came, he didn't seize the opportunity to expand his network.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, not to mention that his current position is very embarrassing. He must save enough capital before the prince and Ji Xueyan's wedding in order to survive and protect his family's safety.

As for Ma Ping'an, although he is the prince's man, but the relationship between the two parties is here, under normal circumstances, they will not quarrel with each other. If one day, he dares not to appreciate it, and he will not show mercy!

"I know!"

The business has been discussed.

Zheng Rou then said: "Let's go and see how the inn is like."
