"Your Majesty, I beg you to leave the palace."
Yang Dong suddenly spoke, his tone full of sincerity.
Hearing this, the empress frowned slightly.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I want to... make a deal with the Houjin Cavalry at Youzhou Horse Farm."
Yang Dong said, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.
"You want to bribe them?"
The empress subconsciously asked, but then she smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"In Youzhou Horse Farm, there are the best of the best of Houjin's cavalry. If you want to bribe them, it may not be easy."
Unexpectedly, Yang Dong shook his head and continued:
"It's not a bribe, it's just a business deal. I owe life to the little princess Houjin, and I think she will save my life. Even if things go badly, with my martial arts skills, it's not difficult to escape. .”
"this……"
The empress stared deeply at Yang Dong, and when she saw that the other person's expression was as usual, she became even more confused.
"Xiao Dongzi, tell me what you want to do?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to see what it looks like when a dog bites a dog."
"Didn't Your Majesty just say that Hou Jin and Da Qin have reached some kind of consensus? I think that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the cooperation between them may not be unbreakable."
"You want to start a war between Hou Jin and Da Qin?"
The empress looked shocked. She didn't expect Yang Dong to be so bold.
Not to mention him, even the famous brave men in the army would not dare to feed the tiger with their own bodies.
"No, absolutely not! This is too dangerous, I won't agree to it!"
"Your Majesty, listen to me!"
A rare look of seriousness appeared on Yang Dong's cheek.
"Today's Great Zhou needs time to accumulate strength. With the successful construction of the Luozhou Expressway, grain from the south can be quickly transported to the capital. In this way, even if it is delayed for one more day, the capital will be able to receive a large amount of grain."
"If Houjin wants to invade the capital, he will have to carry out a siege. If we stock up on more food and grass, we can have a better chance of winning. Besides... the output of gunpowder at the Lenggong Manufacturing Factory is still low today."
The empress frowned. Although she still looked displeased, this time she did not refuse immediately.
It is true that what Yang Dong said is very reasonable.
But how can it be as simple as just using words to stir up conflicts between the two countries?
Before Hou Jin went south, there must have been many contracts between the two countries.
Xiao Dongzi, can he really do it?
Seeing the empress frowning and saying nothing, Yang Dong continued to persuade:
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that I am also a businessman. Since ancient times, princes and nobles have despised businessmen. But this time, I want to show your Majesty the so-called power of capital."
"Tell me, how sure are you?"
Yang Dong pondered for a moment and calmly stretched out three fingers.
"A conservative estimate is that we are 30% sure."
"If you're lucky, 100% won't be a bad idea."
"If so..."
The empress pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"If that's the case, I can promise you. Just... be careful in everything, and be sure to ensure your own safety. Dazhou can't live without you, and I can't live without you, and I... can't live without you!"
Hearing this, Yang Dong suddenly felt elated.
Although it sounds like Yourong is talking about his own importance.
But don’t underestimate the “I” and the “I”. The difference is really huge.
If Yourong only uses "I", it means that there is only the feeling of monarch and minister between her and me.
But with the word "I" added, the meaning becomes completely different. This means that in Yourong's heart, the relationship with me is not just that of a monarch and a minister, but also a hint of love between a man and a woman.
Every time he thought of this, Yang Dong felt refreshed both physically and mentally, as if he had drank a whole bottle of Bingkuola in the summer.
Sure enough, all her hard work for so long was not in vain, she became emotional towards him, haha!
Yang Dong has always believed in the principle that if you don't take advantage of something, you would be a fool.
So he hit the snake and put it on the stick, taking advantage of the situation and taking Ji Ziyue's delicate body into his arms. Then he leaned down and carefully tasted the red lips of this beautiful emperor.
With this kiss, time seemed to stand still.
It wasn't until Ji Ziyue's cheeks turned red, her eyes blurred, and her legs tensed that Yang Dong reluctantly left those sweet and delicious red lips.
"Xiao Dongzi, you have gone too far!"
Ji Ziyue blushed and spat hard, but then she thought that the man in front of her was in danger because of her. So I couldn't help but feel distressed again.
"Xiao Dongzi, promise me you will come back, okay?"
Looking at Ji Ziyue's affectionate phoenix eyes, Yang Dong knew that she had fallen in love with him.
So he smiled and returned to his usual cynical look.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will return safely."
"After all, my life goal has not been achieved yet!"
"life goals?"
When Ji Ziyue heard this, a look of interest flashed in her eyes.
She still doesn't know what Xiaodongzi's life goal is. So he opened his mouth and asked:
"Xiao Dongzi, what is your life goal?"
"This, are you sure you want to listen?"
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Yang Dong's mouth.
When Ji Ziyue saw this, she always felt that this dog couldn't spit out ivory from its mouth. But she was still a little curious about what Xiaodongzi's life goal was, so she asked:
"Of course, tell me quickly."
"All right!"
Yang Dong put his cheek close to Ji Ziyue's ear and whispered:
"My goal in life is very simple to say. It is to be the emperor, to be the emperor, and the emperor to give birth to a little emperor."
"Bah, you're a scumbag!"
The empress's cheeks turned red and she hit Yang Dong hard on the head.
"Don't talk nonsense. With the power of the emperor, how can you just laugh and joke at will?"
Yang Dong rubbed his aching head and showed an aggrieved expression.
"Didn't you ask me to say it just now? Humph, you are a fickle woman."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, stood up straight, and bowed to the empress.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Xiao Dongzi won't be able to stay with Your Majesty all the time in the next few days."
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious if something happens. Wait until Xiaodongzi comes back."
"In addition, I have prepared some money for Your Majesty, which may be of use."
As he spoke, he took out two stacks of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Ji Ziyue.
This was the profit Shen Laosan brought to Yang Dong when he met Shen Laosan a few days ago.
The amount is not much, just over one million taels of silver.
The empress took the banknote and glanced at Yang Dong with a strange expression. Then he murmured to himself:
"Why do I, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, feel like I am being taken care of? Xiao Dongzi, why do you think this is?"
"Forehead……"
Yang Dong put his hand on his forehead and said hesitantly:
"Maybe it's because I know how to make money better?"
Some people died, but not completely...
