Chapter 18 Loyal Guards

"Five hundred points?!!!"

When Ying Yuan heard clearly the slacking value rewarded by the system, even he was shocked!
The last time he went to court and then left, he was only rewarded 300 points.

As a result, this time, it was directly 500 points.

If you think about it carefully, this might be the true meaning of slacking off: being late + leaving early, plus not doing your work during court sessions!

Beating up the old bastard and scolding the old bastard, these two things are the real sources of the extra 200 points!

[Ding! The host's current slacking value is 713 points. To obtain the task reward, you need 1000 slacking points. Please keep up the good work! ]

The system's voice sounded again, causing Ying Yuan to feel even more excited.

It's only 287 points away, which means that even if I pretend to be dizzy when I go to court tomorrow, I can still get the next reward.

"It's not a sin to be idle, being happy is the most precious thing!"

Ying Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and took a big step forward, walking towards his own palace.

"Son."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Ying Yuan turned around and saw Tie Niu. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something today.

"Tie Niu, follow me."

"I will write a letter to you later. Please send it to the commander of the imperial guards, Shu Lin. I will then transfer you here."

Ying Yuan smiled and patted Tie Niu on the shoulder.

I have already made the warhorse suit myself, so there is no need to tell my father about this personal matter.

After all, when going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get official documents, you will need someone to run errands, right?

It's not that Ying Yuan was reluctant to let the delicate maid do these chores, but he was really afraid of ruining his image as a good man who was gentle and considerate to women.

"Thank you, sir!"

When Tie Niu heard this, he was so happy.

After all, what Ying Yuan had said in the palace before made Tie Niu firmly believe that this young man was someone who could do great things for the Qin Dynasty.

What's more, this Sixth Prince doesn't seem to be a meddlesome person. He is countless times better than the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai who is playful and the Seventh Prince Ying Gao who likes fighting!
"Hey! I've never heard of anyone thanking someone for doing an errand for them."

Ying Yuan was also happy when he heard Tie Niu's words: "But it's not wrong for you to thank me. I have always been generous to the people around me. Even if I go to a brothel to listen to music, I will take you with me."

After saying that, he walked towards his own palace.

For some reason, although he was naturally idle, he really hated having to ride in a sedan chair wherever he went. Instead, he felt more comfortable walking by himself.

"Sir, there is something."

"Early this morning, Xiang Licheng from the Mohist School has been lingering at the gate of Xianyang Palace. He has repeatedly told our guards that he wants to see the young master and even tried to give him money."

Tie Niu seemed to recall something and reported to Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan paused for a moment, and said with a half-smile: "Those who can't get what they want are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are always fearless."

"Xiang Licheng thought that I had some feelings towards the Mohist School, so I was being a little reserved."

"But right now, I am the lord they cannot have. Let him stir for a while."

"Tell the guards to tell him that I have retired from court and am going back to the palace for a nap. Let him go back first."

After hearing this, Tie Niu laughed innocently: "How can Xiang Licheng sleep? I'm afraid he will have to stand and wait in Xianyang Palace all the time."

Ying Yuan said meaningfully: "Just let him stand and wait, waiting for this young master to 'wake up', so as to show his sincerity in surrendering to the Mohist School!"

This was a bit profound, Tie Niu didn't understand, but he felt that his son was really amazing. Even someone as arrogant as Xiang Licheng had to stand obediently under the sun!

"Let's go back to the palace. You have to find a good room for yourself."

Ying Yuan smiled and walked towards the palace.

In the palace, Ying Yuan changed his clothes and put on a loose robe. His shoes were kicked aside and he leaned on the couch.

If an outsider didn't know about this and saw such a scene, he would really praise from the bottom of his heart, "What a magnificent atmosphere".

"Father, what a fool! Isn't it enough to just observe the government? He even asked me to review the memorials. Aren't you afraid of burdening my precious son?"

Ying Yuan shook his head helplessly, feeling quite satisfied with everything that happened in the court today.

Only this final "punishment" seemed to have a deeper meaning from my father.

"Could it be"

Suddenly, Ying Yuan's expression changed and he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility!
As a father, he always dislikes his son's laziness. Could it be that his father's love is too much? Is he thinking of punishing the sixth son?
If this is the case, reviewing memorials now is just an appetizer, and there will probably be more and more things to do in the future!

Ying Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment, and came to a conclusion: "We need to find help!"

"tractor!"

Ying Yuan called out, and Tie Niu, who had just put his things into the chosen room, hurried over.

After all, he is the young master's personal guard, and he is responsible for protecting the young master's safety day and night. It is not appropriate for a bachelor like him to move into the young master's palace, but no one can say anything wrong with preparing a place for him to sleep.

During the night shift, people are not allowed to sleep in the duty room nearby. Isn't that inhumane?

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Tie Niu was so respectful that he wanted to salute, but Ying Yuan interrupted him by waving his hand: "Alright, from now on, no more saluting in the palace."

"There is no such thing as red tape when it comes to my people."

After hearing these words, Tie Niu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned red!

He is a royal guard, how could he not know the strict etiquette and laws in the palace?

But Gongzi Yuan treated him so well, even exempting him from etiquette. Doesn't this mean he regards Tie Niu as his confidant?
For such a young man, Tie Niu would not frown even if he had to use his body to block the knife for him.

"My lord, if you want me to do anything, I will be fearless of fire and water, swords and knives! I will definitely do it for you!"

Tie Niu spoke in a deep voice, with a look of suicidal intent rising in his eyes.

Ying Yuan was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on with this fool. Why did he suddenly become so serious? And even a little tragic?

"What's life and death?"

"Let me do something for you."

Ying Yuan spoke with a smile, then pointed to the water cup on the table beside him, motioning Tie Niu to drink some water to calm down.

Tie Niu did not dare to refuse, he picked up the water cup and drank it all, not even a drop was left: "Master, just give me your orders!"

After saying this, the determination in his eyes became even more apparent, and he looked like an indomitable general who was not afraid of life or death.

"I want you to find some people and bring them back!"

"These people are very important to me, and they are also very important to Daqin!"

"Also, please tell someone to get this done."

Ying Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the blank bamboo slips.

Hearing these words, Tie Niu was shocked at first, and then nodded heavily!

The young master said that if the person was important, even if he had to tie him up, Tie Niu would bring him back!
