But they were still unwilling to leave. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
Chu Tianyu had no money now, but he was still the Emperor's son. Maybe the Emperor would put him in an important position one day?
Yuan Zhen saw that these guests were still unwilling to leave, so he decided to think of a way to add fuel to the fire.
Although these people were greedy, many of them had real ability. If he let them stay by Chu Tianyu's side, it might give Chu Tianyu a chance to make a comeback.
Of course, he wouldn't let that happen.
Recently, the food in The Emperor of Jin's residence had declined greatly.
The guests used to eat big fish and meat, but now they only ate vegetables and steamed buns, which made them dizzy.
On this day, the guests were sitting in the dining hall eating steamed buns when the smell of roast duck came from the door.
Once they smelled it, someone immediately swallowed his saliva excitedly.
"Wow! Do you smell it? It's the smell of roast duck. It's so fragrant! "
"Yes! It's too fragrant. We're eating steamed buns here, who's eating roast duck there? "
Just as everyone finished talking, they saw Yuan Zhen come in with a lot of food and wine.
Someone immediately said, "Mr. Yuan, you're rich? You actually bought so much food and wine? "
Yuan Zhen brought the food in and put it on the table. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Everyone, these food and wine were treated to me by a big shot. You're all my friends, so of course I can't enjoy it alone. Come, let's eat together. "
As he spoke, he sat at the table and opened the roast duck. A strong roast duck smell instantly spread throughout the dining hall.
Everyone immediately looked over. There was not only roast duck in the paper bag, but also all kinds of food and wine.
Everyone curiously asked, "Mr. Yuan, where did you meet this friend? He's actually so generous to treat you to so much delicious food?"
Yuan Zhen's eyes flashed, "Uh, it's a friend you don't know. Come, let's eat first. "
Seeing that Yuan Zhen didn't say anything, everyone wanted to know even more!
Someone curiously stared at Yuan Zhen, "Sir, didn't you say we're friends? How can you get rich alone? If there's a way, we'll go together. Just tell us! "
"Yes, we'll earn money together. Take pity on us brothers! We haven't eaten meat in a long time! "Someone pulled Yuan Zhen's clothes.
Yuan Zhen was dizzy from being shaken and could only say, "Alright! Since we're all brothers, I'll tell you. Actually, my friend is The Emperor of Rui. He admires me very much and wants me to go to the Emperor of Rui's residence to seek refuge with him. Not only did he treat me to a meal, but he also gave me some money to settle down and let me buy a house in the city. "
"What? How much did he give you? "
Yuan Zhen stretched out five fingers and said with a smile, "Not much, only five thousand taels. It's only enough to buy a few big houses!"
"What? Five thousand taels was not a lot? I've only been at The Emperor of Jin's residence for a few months, and I've only received a total of two hundred taels. Sir, The Emperor of Rui is too generous! "
Yuan Zhen said, "Yeah! The Emperor of Rui was not only generous, but he also had too much money to spend. The Emperor of Rui has so much money that he doesn't even know where to put it. Five thousand taels is nothing to him! "
"The Emperor of Rui also said that when I go to The Emperor of Rui's residence, he will give me a high position, a beautiful woman, and a nice car. As long as I'm loyal to him, he won't treat me unfairly. "
"Moreover, the Emperor thinks highly of The Emperor of Rui and wants to make The Emperor of Rui the Crown Prince. If you can follow The Emperor of Rui, your future will be limitless."
Hearing this, everyone was so excited that they started drooling.
Everyone rushed towards Yuan Zhen.
"Sir, is The Emperor of Rui recruiting followers now? Can you introduce us to him? We also want to seek refuge with him. "
Yuan Zhen said vigilantly, "What? You also want to seek refuge with The Emperor of Rui? All of you are smarter than me. If you go to The Emperor of Rui's residence, will The Emperor of Rui still want me? "
Seeing Yuan Zhen's unwilling expression, everyone was even more certain that The Emperor of Rui's residence would be profitable!
"No, how can The Emperor of Rui not want you? Sir, don't worry. We are all good brothers. Of course, we will get rich together. "
"You also know the current situation of The Emperor of Jin's residence. We can't even afford to eat meat! The Emperor of Rui is so rich. When the time comes, he can just casually give us a bit. It's better than eating steamed buns in The Emperor of Jin's residence! "
"But, aren't you very loyal to the First Prince?" Yuan Zhen said.
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, "Who is loyal to him! We are loyal to whoever gives us money. Now that the First Prince is in such dire straits that he can't even give us our wages, there is no future for us to follow him. It's better to follow The Emperor of Rui. "
Yuan Zhen rubbed his chin and said, "What you say is not without reason. I also joined The Emperor of Rui because of this. The First Prince is brave but not resourceful. He has already been disliked by the Emperor. Who knows when the Emperor will behead him. Following such a master, not only will we not get any benefits, we may also be implicated. I think it's better for us to quickly escape. "
Hearing that they would be implicated, everyone was so scared that they trembled.
None of them wanted to be beheaded.
Yuan Zhen gave everyone a sincere smile and said, "Let me tell you, The Emperor of Rui is like the sun in the sky. If we follow him, we will definitely be able to eat and drink well."
"He needs talents. Recently, he has been recruiting followers. If you want to rely on him, go to The Emperor of Rui's residence to find him. If you are late, there may not be any seats left! "
"Really? Then, sir, will you come with us? "Someone asked.
Yuan Zhen said, "I can't leave for now. The Emperor of Rui wants me to help him inquire about secrets in The Emperor of Jin's residence. I have a heavy responsibility. You all go first. We will meet up later. "
"Okay, after we finish this meal, we will pack our bags and leave."
-
Soon, after the followers finished eating, they all returned to their rooms to pack their bags.
They didn't even say goodbye to Chu Tianyu before they left The Emperor of Jin's residence.
Not only did the followers leave, but many of The Emperor of Jin's servants also secretly slipped away!
Of course, before they left, they took a lot of things from The Emperor of Jin's residence.
Seeing that most of them had left, Yuan Zhen hurriedly went to Chu Tianyu's room and said, "Eldest Prince, it's not good. Something big has happened!"
Chu Tianyu was lying on the bed recuperating. When he heard Yuan Zhen's words, he anxiously sat up, "What happened, Sir Yuan?"
"It's not good. Those followers all packed their bags and ran away!" Yuan Zhen said anxiously.
"What?" Chu Tianyu said. His body suddenly moved and pulled at the wounds on his body.
He grimaced in pain and hurriedly said, "I treated them well. Why did they run away?"
"Because they think you have fallen out of favor. They heard that The Emperor of Rui was spending a lot of money to recruit followers, so they all went to seek refuge with The Emperor of Rui! Eldest Prince, what should we do now? "Yuan Zhen asked.
When Chu Tianyu heard this, he was so angry that he saw stars and gritted his teeth.
He slapped the edge of the bed and said angrily, "Those treacherous things. Did they really think that The Emperor of Rui would spend a lot of money to recruit them? Other than this prince, who would be so generous? Let them go. I want to see if The Emperor of Rui wants them! "
