After Rong Jiusi left his eyes, Xu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I don't prepare sea salt for you, it would be even easier to give Li Shimin a portion of my hundred-acre salt field."
However, Xu Yunyan just thought about it and couldn't help but shook his head, "No, no, I have to find an excuse to reject Li Shimin's Haiyan. There are many people and the news will be leaked sooner or later."
As for the person to help him, Xu Yunyan already had a plan in mind, and he would use his free time to give the essence of the Yuanyang Formation to Hou Junji.
It should be easy to add a little digression into this, right? The message you want to convey cannot be written directly, but requires a little skill.
As soon as he thought of it, Xu Yunyan returned to his camp and started writing and drawing after Rong Jiusi led the team to leave.
Not only had all the essence of the Yuanyang Formation been written down, sealed in an envelope and sent to Hou Junji, but there was also a piece of paper with some locations written in Chinese characters.
After Xu Yunyan finished all this, he went to rest happily. Soon after, Hou Junji received this letter. He looked at the messy numbers on the first piece of paper and couldn't figure out what they were about. He put it aside and started reading Yuanyang. The essence of the formation, after shocking Xu Yunyan's essence of the Yuanyang formation to heaven and earth, Hou Junji was meditating there.
After thinking for a long time, I saw the paper with numbers on the table. What does this mean?
However, Hou Junji is worthy of being the general of the left guard. He is still very flexible. He tried to use the numbers written by Xu Yunyan in Chinese characters on the paper to compare the pages and lines marked in the essence of the Yuanyang Formation. The result surprised Hou Junji.
"People in Shang'an look at the sea."
Although this sentence is not very clear, which of these ancients does not understand the words of this Zhihu Ye?
After seeing this sentence, Hou Junji couldn't help but think of what Xu Yunyan wanted to say.
"Your Majesty arranges for someone to guard Haiyan."
"So there is such a way? My junior brother really surprised me."
However, Hou Junji couldn't help being surprised after he praised Xu Yunyan.
"How could this be? What should we do?"
Hou Junji, who had no good solution, immediately turned around anxiously.
got up.
At the Prince of Qin's residence, Li Shimin heard the report: "What, this guy actually pushed forward Li Jiancheng's mission? Yes, yes, he really likes me. I just don't know how much sea salt he can provide me? With this sea salt, I can be better." Well arm my troops."
Just when Li Shimin was thinking about using this sea salt in exchange for huge sums of money in the future to make his army invulnerable, a confidant came out of the shadows.
"Your Highness, this is a secret message from General Hou Junji, saying that it is extremely urgent."
Li Shimin, who was already very happy, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his confidant say this.
"Hou Junji is his confidant who he arranged outside his own camp. Apparently we are having a falling out. What urgent matter does he want to see me for?"
After Li Shimin asked this question, this confidant handed over a letter respectfully. When he saw this letter, Li Shimin was very curious.
"So many things? What's in it?"
But I still took it, and when I opened it I saw that it was the essence of Yuanyang Zhenzhen.
Li Shimin twitched the corner of his mouth, "Is this the urgent matter that Hou Junji said? Send me the Art of War. Although I am His Highness the King of Qin, I am still General Tiance, and can be said to be General Li."
Just when Li Shimin said this, he put gold on his face. After putting a lot of gold on it, he picked up the essence of the Yuanyang Formation and looked at it again. At this time, he was as shocked by the essence of the Yuanyang Formation as Hou Junji was. For heavenly beings,
"To be able to create such a rigorous battle formation that adapts to all terrains, does Xu Yunyan really have two skills?"
Li Shimin had just finished his compliments when he saw the numbers on the last piece of paper and the five words "Shang'an people watch the sea" deciphered from the numbers.
In an instant, Li Shimin seemed to have grasped something important in his mind: "My father arranged for people to keep an eye on this sea salt. It seems that I have no way to obtain this sea salt. No wonder Xu Yunyan was able to push His Highness the Crown Prince. It turns out there is such a thing."
But compared to this sea salt, this way of transmitting information seems to be more realistic. It's good, good. I didn't expect it could bring me such unexpected gains. Please hurry up and send it to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhuiqian Come to discuss matters. "
Li Shimin praised Xu Yunyan's good way here and waited here.
His confidants came to discuss some important matters.
While discussing this in Prince Qin's palace, Li Jiancheng also received a letter from Rong Jiusi. Seeing His Majesty's arrangement, Li Jiancheng hurriedly found his confidant Li Gang.
"Master Li." Looking at Li Gang who rushed over in a hurry, Li Jiancheng made arrangements directly, "Now select some new scholars who are loyal to me and ask them to go to the Salt and Iron Transfer Department to find Xu Yunyan, the salt and iron transfer envoy, to learn how to produce sea salt. , we must control the Salt and Iron Transfer Department in our hands."
As soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Gang immediately understood what Li Jiancheng meant: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do it now."
After Li Gang left, another confidant of Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, appeared on Li Gang's way out and met Li Gang. Li Gang gave Wei Zheng a fist.
"Mr. Wei."
And Wei Zheng didn't maintain his identity, so he returned the favor with a fist in front of Li Gang, "Master Li, I don't know why you are in such a hurry?"
After Li Gang explained his story, Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Interesting, this is just a temporary measure."
Wei Zheng said this without any reason and went to look for the prince Li Jiancheng. When Wei Zheng came to see Li Jiancheng, he said clearly, "Xu Yunyan is just hiding his ears and stealing the bell. He is too cowardly."
This made Li Jiancheng furious instantly: "How dare this kid lie to me?"
Wei Zheng hurriedly dissuaded Li Jiancheng, "Your Highness, it's not that this boy deceived His Highness the Crown Prince, but that this boy is not courageous enough. If His Highness the Crown Prince can delegate his authority to him again, he may be able to make gains that His Highness the Crown Prince did not expect."
If the tour knew that Wei Zheng had exposed this little trick of his, he might not be so frightened. However, Wei Zheng was right. If he had more power and could really be on an equal footing with the Crown Prince Qin, he would still care. At this point, what's the harm in giving you sea salt?
Wei Zheng's words seemed to wake up Li Jiancheng, "Yes, Mr. Wei, you are right. If he becomes more powerful and ignores the manpower arranged by his father, wouldn't all the sea salt belong to us?"
But Li Jiancheng was troubled again. How should he identify himself?
While many people were studying Xu Yunyan's affairs here, Xu Yunyan, after eating and drinking, returned home again with his troops.
