Chapter 70: The King of Flattery

Guan Yan's reputation has undergone earth-shaking changes, but Guan Yan's life still has not changed. He does nothing in the General's Mansion every day. Why do he occasionally enter and exit a few ideas? He practices "The Art of Peace" in his spare time to help him get rid of his true energy, and his life is very relaxed and comfortable. But in order to avoid criticism, Guan Yan did not dare to go back to the General's Mansion.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed. On this day, Guan Yan was sent by He Jin to come over early in the morning. Guan Yan thought He Jin wanted to ask something again, so he put it on casually and walked towards He Jin's study.

He Jin was still sitting upright in the main seat, playing with a jade artifact. Although there were hundreds of books that were precious in this era behind him, for He Jin, who was a butcher, these books were decorations and had never been read.

Guan Yan's footsteps caught He Jin's attention. He Jin smiled and put down the jade artifact, stood up and said, "Wen De is here."

Guan Yan bowed: "I wonder what the general calls me?"

He Jin didn't say anything, slowly walked to the corner of the study and bent over and opened the two large boxes placed there.

As soon as the box was opened, the pearls and treasures immediately filled the entire study. The two large boxes were filled with gold, silver and jade, which could be said to be priceless!

Guan Yan walked forward, looked at the two boxes of treasures slowly, and sighed: "General, this is..."

He Jin replied: "Didn't Wende say that he should get along with the tiger one month ago? These two boxes of jewelry are two pieces of meat given to the tiger!"

This is how! Guan Yan thought to himself that He Jin had not mentioned this for a month, and Guan Yan thought that He Jin was just dealing with Guan Yan on the court, and did not really agree with Guan Yan. He unexpectedly, He Jin really prepared two boxes of jewelry today to make friends with the Ten Changshou.

In fact, although He Jin agreed with Guan Yan's idea and drove the tiger and swallowed the wolf, he did not intend to make friends with the Ten General Assesses. However, this month, Guan Yan's name of "restoring the Han Dynasty" resounded throughout Luoyang City. Even the Ling Emperor asked when he was in court, and he also said when he would summon Guan Yan.

He Jin, a person who has reached the top of the lower class, has suffered all his reputation. He also knows how many ministers in the court called him "Tu Jia" behind his back.

So, He Jin took Guan Yan seriously. Thinking of Guan Yan's plan a month ago, He Jin's thinking became more and more reasonable. He immediately asked someone to prepare two boxes of treasures overnight and prepare for Guan Yan to deal with it today.

When Guan Yan heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The General is wise!"

He Jin smiled: "Wen De, this matter will be handed over to you!"

This sentence surprised Guan Yan secretly: He Jin believed me so much?

Guan Yan bowed seriously: "The subordinates obeyed the order and would live up to the high expectations of the general!"

He Jin nodded with a smile, walked back to the main seat and sat down, and carefully played with the jade artifact.

Guan Yan took a look and said softly: "The official is leaving!" As he said that, Guan Yan slowly left the study room and closed the door.

Three hours later, in a magnificent study, an ordinary old man was sitting on a big tiger-skin chair. He saw his eyes slightly closed and his face was pale and ungrateful. From nowhere, you can't tell that this thin old man was Zhang Rang, the ten powerful servants of the court and the country!

Guan Yan sat respectfully beside him, with a big box beside him.

After a while, Zhang Rang opened his eyes slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Guan Yan, then looked at the big box next to him, and said softly: "What's going on Mr. Guan today?"

Finally speaking, Guan Yan, who was sitting on his back, stood up and bowed to Zhang Rang, saying, "Yan is the name of General Yan, I will come to visit Eunuch Zhang!"

"General?" Zhang Rang sneered, and it sounded a little creepy.

"How dare you bother the general to visit me!" Zhang Rang said sarcastically, closed his eyes again, and a sneer was still on the corner of his mouth.

When the daughter of the He family, who is now Empress He, entered the palace, was not loved by Emperor Ling. He Taigong spent all his family wealth, half of which made friends with famous scholars, and half were given to the Ten Generals, among which Zhang Rang got the most.

But Zhang Rang did not take the He family's money in vain. The Ten Eunuchs said all the good things in front of Emperor Ling for the sake of the He family's daughter, and finally made Emperor Ling gradually favor the He family's daughter; and then the He family's daughter gave birth to another son, and the mother was honored by the son, and with Emperor Ling's love, he then sat on the throne of the queen.

Zhang Rang later took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to make a statement in front of the Spirit Emperor and helped He Jin as the general. It can be said that the glory of the He family was deeply imprinted with the seal of the Ten Eternal Assistants.

However, as the water rises, He Jin contacts more and more famous scholars and pays more and more attention to his reputation. The Ten Constellation Assassin can be said to be of great fame. With the intentional or unintentional hints of some people, He Jin subconsciously distinguishes the boundaries from the Ten Constellation Assassin, and the gap between the two arises from this.

Guan Yan didn't know about these things, but listening to Zhang Rang's tone, he felt something was wrong.

Guan Yan said with a strong face: "Why did Eunuch Zhang say this? The general always talked about Eunuch Zhang's kindness, so today I sent a special official to visit Eunuch Zhang!"

Who is Zhang Rang? How could he be fooled by Guan Yan’s words?

Zhang Rang looked at Guan Yan with a sneer. Guan Yan shivered when he was glanced and quickly lowered his head to make a respectful look.

Guan Yan looked at the big box next to him, and quickly stepped forward, opened the box and said, "This is what the general respects Eunuch Zhang."

As soon as the box opened, the color of gold and silver suddenly overflowed, which was slightly dazzling in this dim study.

Zhang Rang's eyes were stimulated by the luster of the jewelry, and quickly frowned and closed his eyes, raising his right hand to block it in front of him.

After a while, Zhang Rang opened his eyes slightly, looked at the box of jewelry between his fingers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sit down and talk!" After adapting for a while, Zhang Rang put down his arm and said to Guan Yan Youyou.

Guan Yanru let out a sigh of relief when he was about to be amnesty, saluted slightly, and sat upright on the side.

Zhang Rang couldn't help but glance at the box of jewelry again, and the smile on his face also unfolded with the wrinkles that had been formed over the years: "Mr. Guan, I heard that the name of "Restoring Han" has been circulated in Luoyang City recently. I believe that Master Guan must have great talent!"

"I dare not, but I dare not. Eunuch Zhang just call me the word "Wende". Who dares to call me "Grandmaster" in front of my father-in-law?" Guan Yan said timidly.

This flattery made Zhang Rang feel very comfortable. Not bad. I, Zhang Rang, is not an official, but I have no final say in all the officials in the world? I am not an official, but I am even greater than the three officials’ efforts!

Zhang Rang smiled satisfied: "Wen De can speak, but he only admires talents like you!"

Looking at Zhang Rang's face, Guan Yan felt a little disgusted, but he still smiled on his face and continued, "As for the legend of Luoyang's 'rest of Han', it is a false praise. If the Han Dynasty is revived, it is indeed the achievements of Eunuch Zhang!" After saying this, Guan Yan sighed in his heart, when did he become so flattering?
