"Silver!" Zhao Xuanyi suddenly said.
Zhu Yuejun slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "What?"
"Don't you want to know why I helped Wang Jingrong? I told you, Yinzi!" Zhao Xuanyi said slowly.
When Zhu Yuejun heard this answer, his face became very shocked, "Just because of the money, you let him go?"
"Princess, why did you kill him?"
"Of course it's because...?" Zhu Yuejun said mid-sentence and suddenly stopped!
"Because of what? Did he seek to usurp the government? Did he deceive the emperor? If I remember correctly, these things were all fabricated by the fourth prince to exonerate himself, right? And the eldest princess killed him just to save the face of the royal family. !Once, right?”
Zhu Yuejun kept silent and looked at Zhao Xuanyi quietly. She wanted to know what else Zhao Xuanyi could say?
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "I don't know how many times I have found out that the prince was embezzling, but I let it go because of the royal family's face. I found out that the prince was digging gold mines secretly, and killed the witness because of the royal family's face! I was arrested, and we couldn't talk about it for the sake of the royal family's face!" "
"This time, it's for the sake of the royal family's face again! Although Wang Jingrong is not a good person, he can still be used, as long as he is not caught by others? Does it have to be killed today? No matter how many times I help you, as long as he If I disobey you once, will I be like Ye Yuanzhi and Zhu Moxian?"
When Zhu Yuejun heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, she slowly turned her head. If she didn't look at Zhao Xuanyi, no matter what happened today, she would never forgive Zhao Xuanyi!
"You have also seen the situation of our Qilin Guards. If we want to field elite soldiers, the military pay will be many times higher than usual. You have led the Qilin Guards before, you should know that, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give me military pay now. Wang Jinrong has, If I spare his life and get military pay, why not?"
"You just let go of a man who knows everything just for money? What if he is caught by others? You are putting the entire royal family in danger!" Zhu Yuejun shouted.
"Elder Princess, what will happen even if he is caught? Does anyone believe what he says? Your Moon Guard must have collected evidence of Wang Jingrong's crime over the years. Will he admit it if you just say one? The same thing, even if it is He was really caught by others, and he said he was not treason. Do the people in the world believe him or the royal family?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Zhu Yuejun frowned slightly and said nothing!
Zhao Xuanyi continued, "Besides, as long as I am here, how can I let others find him? As long as I send him out of the Ming Dynasty, I can get a generous amount of silver!"
"One tael of silver! Do you only care about money? When did you become so greedy?"
"Am I greedy?" Zhao Xuanyi immediately stood up from the chair. "Am I so greedy? Since I entered the Ministry of War, have I ever accepted a bribe of one tael of silver? Do I eat delicacies every day? Is my home valuable? Liancheng’s luxurious appliances?”
"For the sake of the Qilin Guards, I raised money everywhere. I had no choice. I took them to rob the bandits. I didn't take any money from anyone. Am I greedy? Who did I do this for? I fought off the foreign invaders. How many times have we been enemies? Just give me a hundred taels of silver when you come back. Why are you so special?"
"You know the daily expenses of the Qilin Guard. Needless to say, the bow string of the Tianyi Bow needs to be replaced every time a thousand imperial arrows are fired, and the upper and lower pulleys need to be replaced in batches every three months on average. These are all unavailable. , they all need to be forged one by one by the forging department of our military camp!"
"Do you know how much a pound of fine iron is on the market? Why are the arrowheads of the flying arrows so small? They are all made by my own hands! Every time I go into battle, the iron palms under the horses' hooves are made of fine iron. There is no such thing Weapons, do I dare to go out and confront the enemy head-on?"
"You are a high-ranking royal family. You only care about whether I win the battle when I go out. Do you really know the Qilin Guard? I am not Liang Yun. I am not so lucky. I was born to be rich and can rival the country. If I don't use some special methods, Can I *** train 40,000 Qilin Guards?"
"Without these 40,000 Qilin Guards, what would your royal family be now? Ye Yuanzhi would have had his head chopped off earlier, and the person sitting on the dragon throne is Ye Yuanzhi! If your royal family can give me enough military pay every year, that's all. Today Something happened here, tomorrow there will be corruption
Yes, who will give me military pay? I don’t even think of a way to make money. If the Qilin Guards are separated, who among you and me can survive? "The more Zhao Xuanyi talked, the more excited he became, and in the end he was shouting!
Zhu Yuejun was silent, did not speak, and did not look at Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi sat weakly on the chair and wiped his face with his hands, "If I had known that being with you would cost me so much, I really regret touching you. Otherwise, I could be a carefree individual now. Whoever wants to sit in this world has nothing to do with me? I can’t sit on it anyway!”
"Don't you see that the prince killed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people for gold. The prince let hundreds of thousands of refugees in Henan starve to death because of corruption. You don't care. I just made a deal. You think I am an enemy!" Zhao Xuanyi Bit your lip tightly.
"Do you think I don't want to kill him? It's a pity that I am no longer the same person! Give me some time, I will deal with Zhu Moxian, and then... we don't owe anyone else, you, the eldest princess, I really can't stand it Get up! I’m going to be a father soon, and I want to live my next life in peace!”
After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked outside without saying another word. Zhu Yuejun could see Zhao Xuanyi's leaving back from the corner of his eye. The moment he closed his eyes, two hot tears fell down. Hearing Zhao Xuanyi do this When the sound of the tent came out, Zhu Yuejun's heart seemed to fall rapidly from the mountain!
"They can do anything, but...you can't!"
After Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the tent, he saw Nan Zhu standing outside and asked coldly, "How did you know about tonight's incident?"
Nan Zhu looked at Zhao Xuanyi, his eyes no longer had the warmth of the past, but became cold, "Isn't General Zhao a man of great powers? Check it out yourself!"
Zhao Xuanyi glared at Nan Zhu, "I'm not in the mood to make trouble with you right now. Believe it or not, I won't send you all back to the palace. Why don't I care about this matter? Zhu Moxian is also a prince anyway. Whether he is the emperor or not has nothing to do with me!"
Nan Zhu glared at Zhao Xuanyi complainingly, "It was a Moon Guard who discovered Wang Jingrong's whereabouts and also found out that you had written letters to Wang Jingrong!"
"Who?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Moon Guard!"
"Don't play word games with me. Apart from me, Shen Wei knows about today's incident. Tang Tianli and my sister-in-law who followed me don't know who I want to see. If you, the Moon Guards, know where Wang Jingrong is hiding, why are you waiting for me to go? Arrest people again?"
"I received the letter at noon. You have all afternoon. Why didn't he tell the eldest princess about this earlier?"
When Nan Zhu heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, his eyes widened instantly, "This...?"
"Moon Guard? Humph! You were treated as a gunman, but in the end you turned your anger on me. You think I'm very easy to bully, don't you?" Zhao Xuanyi asked, pointing at his face!
The more Nanzhu thought about it, the more something was wrong. He pushed Zhao Xuanyi away and hurriedly rushed into the tent! Seeing Zhu Yuejun wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief, she immediately lowered her head, "Princess, something is wrong!"
"What?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, looked at the city wall in the distance, and quickly walked over. Shen Wei found Zhao Xuanyi halfway. "Young Master, someone just sent this!" Shen Wei took out a letter!
Zhao Xuanyi took it over without opening it, gave Shen Wei a look, and the two of them walked towards Zhao Xuanyi's tent!
After Nanzhu told Zhu Yuejun everything, Zhu Yuejun immediately understood and wiped the tears from his face, "Who reported this?"
"Liang Fei!"
"Go find Liang Fei for me!"
"Yes!" Nanzhu said and hurriedly found someone!
In Zhao Xuanyi's big account, he carefully opened the letter and took out two pieces of paper, one with words and the other with pictures!
[Thank you to General Zhao for rescuing the siege. I sent you 70 million taels of silver as a thank you gift. The remaining account books and gold will be delivered naturally after you take me to safety, Wang Jinrong! 】
Zhao Xuanyi opened another map, which was very detailed and clearly marked the place where the silver coins were buried! About in the wilderness to the north of the capital, Zhao Xuanyi put the map away and placed it directly in Shen Wei's hands.
"Brother Shen, I can't trust other people. You wear
Assemble five thousand Qilin Guards, prepare five hundred taels of carriages, and set off overnight to dig out the silver and transport it back. This way, even if the court does not pay the military now, we don't have to touch our family wealth! "
Shen Wei put the treasure map away, "Don't worry, young master, I will bring it back safely!"
"Don't let others see it!"
"If it is seen, I will tell them it is the equipment of the Qilin Guards, and they will not dare to search it!" Shen Wei said.
"Okay, you've worked hard tonight, and you'll have a good rest when you get everything back!"
"Okay, then I'm leaving!" After saying this, Shen Wei stood up.
"Wait!" Zhao Xuanyi suddenly shouted, stood up, walked to Shen Wei's side, and whispered in Shen Wei's ear, "Put down the secret sentry along the way. If anyone is followed, no matter who it is, they will be killed immediately, even the Moon Guard." polite!"
"Understood!" Shen Wei nodded and said.
Arriving outside the tent, Shen Wei immediately called Tang Tianli, "Prepare five thousand Qilin guards and five hundred empty chariots immediately, follow me out of the city!"
"Ah? Now?" Tang Tianli asked with a big grin, thinking, didn't he just come back?
"You really want the general to educate you again, right? Come on, come on, you stay, I'll go find Sun Yan!"
"No, no, no, no... Ancestor, I'm going! What are you doing? Why are you sleeping in the middle of the night? Get up quickly!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
"..." A group of Qilin Guards didn't even react. If they don't sleep in the middle of the night, why should they sleep during the day?
When Nanzhu came to the big tent again, the expression on his face was very frightened. "Where are the people?" Zhu Yuejun asked hurriedly.
"Disappeared!"
Zhu Yuejun's eyes widened and he stood up hurriedly, "How could this happen? Didn't you lead the way when we went to the inn together just now?"
"But he disappeared after he came back. The other Moon Guards said they didn't see him come back at all!"
"What?" Zhu Yuejun's eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn't stand up from the chair. How is this possible? Has his Moon Guard been infiltrated by the enemy to this point? But...this is made of water? Who has such great ability?
But things are far from that simple. The intelligence given by Yue Wei this time was to arrest Wang Jingrong, but secretly it made himself and Zhao Xuanyi suspicious of each other. There were cracks in trust. Only at this moment did Zhu Yuejun know that it was a divorce plan!
【Snapped! ] slapped his hand on the table, Zhu Yuejun felt extremely regretful. Wang Jinrong's life was far less important than Zhao Xuanyi's trust. He was too impulsive this time. After getting the news about Wang Jinrong, he immediately chased after him. The result was as expected by the enemy. , completely turned against Zhao Xuanyi!
At this moment, Zhu Yuejun was filled with regret and clenched his hands tightly. Thinking of Zhao Xuanyi's disappointed look just now and his vicious words, Zhu Yuejun shed tears again. When did he become so ignorant?
Outside the capital, Lu Pingping was sitting in the tent, with a lone lamp on the table and a book in his hand, reading with gusto. Then a beautiful figure walked into the tent and saw Lu Pingping's child reading, dreaming brightly. A look of boredom.
"Brother, when is this? Why are you still in the mood to read?" Meng Yingying sat on a chair nearby, then picked up an orange and ate it!
Lu Pingping didn't squint or turn his head, and continued to look at the book in his hand. "What else can I do if I don't read?"
"We've obviously been left hanging here, so you're not worried at all?"
"Urgent, useful?"
"You...?" Meng Yingying took a bite of the orange. "Instead of wasting time here every day, we might as well go back to Hangzhou directly!"
"What? You gave up before you were so fascinated by Zhao Xuanyi?"
"You have also seen that the eldest princess is now with Zhao Xuanyi. Even I am useless this time. I can only find opportunities in the future! And Zhao Xuanyi doesn't even leave the military camp now. Even if I have the means, I have no chance. ah!"
"Don't worry, don't worry! Something is going to happen in the capital soon, and it's time for us to take action!" Lu Pingping said confidently.
When Meng Yingying heard this, she was very curious and immediately turned to look at Lu Ping
Ping "Brother, what do you mean by this? Something is going to happen in the capital? What's going on?"
"Shh...!" Lu Pingping made a silent gesture, "Don't worry!"
"You...?" Meng Yingying was so angry that she threw the orange to the ground, got up and left!
Lu Pingping didn't even look at Meng Yingying from beginning to end, with a confident smile on his face and his eyes still staring at the book in his hand!
