"I don't know, Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce has stopped communicating with our Wang family for a long time because of Wang Xingzu's affairs."

Wang Nian shook his head helplessly.

Huangfuyan was a little disappointed when he heard this.

But Pu Chuanyu thought of something and said, "Actually, there is another way."

"What can we do?" Wang Nian and Huangfu Ting also looked at him curiously.

Pu Chuanyu looked at Huangfu Ting and said: "Since Su Yi wants you, Prince Qi, to apologize and admit your mistake, then Prince Qi will just go to the Su Mansion tomorrow to apologize and take the opportunity to offer rice, but... you will feel aggrieved."

"this……"

Huangfu Ting said with some embarrassment: "It is indeed difficult to apologize to a woman named Su, but... if I can deal with the woman named Su, it doesn't matter. I just want him to die now!"

"Then let's act according to the plan. Brother Wang will find a way to get the moldy rice. Prince Qi will prepare it. We can come to admit our mistake tomorrow."

Huangfu Ting said "Oh", but there was a hundred reluctance on his face.

the next day.

Outside the door of Su Mansion, Huangfuyan, Huangfuting, Wang Chaan, and Pu Chuanyu got out of the car one after another.

I told the people of Su Mansion about my future plans.

Soon several people were invited to sit down in the main hall.

Su Yi, Su Wei and Lin Wanyue also walked into the hall.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Su Yi glanced at Huangfu Ting: "I heard that Prince Qi is here to apologize?"

With a droopy face, Huangfu Ting stood up and came to Lin Wanyue. He knelt down on one knee and said, "I was disrespectful yesterday. I hope Miss Lin will forgive me."

Lin Wanyue was really shocked by his move.

Su Yi smiled and said: "Prince Qi, please get up quickly. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. I hope the prince can learn to respect others in the future."

Huangfu Ting grinned, forced out a smile, and said with cupped hands: "Master Su, I admire you. I am convinced that I lost yesterday."

"It's just a fluke." Su Yi said.

Huangfu Ting touched the arrow wound on his shoulder: "Thanks to Mr. Su for showing mercy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here today."

He pretended to be respectful as he said: "By the way, I heard that Mr. Su is collecting grain and grass for my troops to quell the chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I do have a batch of grain in hand, not much. It was originally intended for the palace's own use. Now Su Since your Excellency needs it and it is needed to quell the chaos in the country, I, Huangfu Ting, are willing to donate it."

Su Yi smiled: "Prince Qi, you are not joking, right?"

"Master Su, why did you say this? You have been kind to me. Of course I, Huangfuting, want to repay you..."

Huangfu Ting said, hesitatingly looking at Su Yi: "Why, Mr. Su thinks I lied to you, so how about I have someone deliver the rice later?"

"Since Prince Qi wants to offer rice, of course I am willing to accept it, so I won't be polite."

When Huangfu Ting saw this, he said seriously: "Master Su, you don't have to be polite. I am repaying your kindness and also contributing to the country. I kill two birds with one stone. I am the one to thank."

On the side, Huangfuyan and others were all praising him.

Anyway, he is unsparing and flattering.

When Su Yi saw them off and returned to the main hall, Su Wei frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Prince Qi wanted to fight with you to the death yesterday, but today he changed his mind and not only apologized, but also offered rice? Is there something fishy in it?"

Lin Wanyue also felt something was wrong.

Su Yi nodded slightly: "I know what you are saying, but Huangfu Ting offers rice, and it would be unreasonable for me not to accept it."

"Then what if he does something bad?" Su Wen asked worriedly.

Su Yi thought for a while: "Let our people check it carefully. As long as the rice is fine, it's okay."

At this moment, Luo Zheng walked in with the guys from the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

"Master Su... we sent the horses to the military camp. Master Xue scolded us again and said that the Zhou Chamber of Commerce can't do anything. Let us tell the master that the army has not moved the food and grass first and is in urgent need of 200,000 kilograms of food. If you lose even one pound, he will go to His Majesty to sue you!"

When Su Wen heard this, she patted the table angrily: "This Xue Bao is really too much, two hundred thousand catties? Where can we get so much food in such a short period of time?"

"Sister, how many do we have now?" Su Yi asked.

Su Wei thought for a while: "If we give it all we can, we can collect 130,000 to 40,000 catties."

"Have you been to other rice shops?"

Su Wen nodded: "Except for Wang's rice store, I have visited all the rice stores in the capital, and there are only so many."

"Two hundred thousand catties, this Xue Bao is giving me a problem!"

Su Yi stood up with a slight frown and paced back and forth.

"How about I go to Wang's Rice Shop and ask?" Su Wei stood up and said.

Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Gao's voice sounded outside: "Is Mr. Su here?"

Hearing that it was him, Su Yi walked out of the hall.

"Eunuch Gao, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty asked me to ask, when will this army leave Ningyuan Mansion?"

Su Yi said in surprise: "It should be Mr. Xue Baoxue who has the final say on the army's departure. Why are you asking about me?"

But Eunuch Gao shook his head: "Why, Mr. Su still doesn't understand?"

"Father-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Master Xue went to see Your Majesty today and said that your army has not been able to set off because your grain and grass are not ready... No, Your Majesty asked me to ask you. Is it possible to prepare two hundred thousand kilograms of grain in two days?"

Su Yi frowned: "Two days?"

"Yes, two days... Your Majesty can't wait any longer. I heard that Chen Wenju has already captured several cities near Ningyuan Mansion!"

Eunuch Gao slapped his face: "Your Majesty feels that his face is dull, so he ordered me to ask Mr. Su if he can do it in two days?"

"this……"

Su Yi shook his head: "I only have 1,300,000 to 40,000 kilograms of grain in my hand, and I have already thought of all the ways I can think of."

"Master Su, you can't resist the order, can you?" Eunuch Gao asked with some embarrassment.

"Is this your Majesty's will for me?"

Eunuch Gao shook his head: "This time you asked me to ask, but next time it will be a decree. You should hurry up and prepare food and fodder. The sooner the better."

Just as he was talking, someone came outside to report that Huangfu Ting, the crown prince of Qi, sent someone to deliver 50,000 kilograms of grain.

"Look, isn't there a way to do this? Prince Qi is really good!" Eunuch Gao looked at Su Yi: "Master Su, can I go back and report to your majesty about your food?" Are you ready?"

Su Yi frowned, everything seemed too perfect.

Every step is as if someone is arranging it behind your back.

There was doubt in his heart, but Su Yi said nothing on the surface and asked Eunuch Gao to go back and recover.

After seeing him off, Su Yi said to Su Huan and Lin Wanyue: "Let's go and see the food sent by Huangfu Ting."

When the three of them arrived outside the mansion, they saw dozens of carriages loaded with food parked on both sides of the street.

Su Yi was about to step forward when he saw Xue Bao approaching with a team of people not far away.
