"This was originally a yard for storing grain. I thought it was big, so I rented it. It's also much cheaper than some noble-looking houses!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll take care of things! We're not here to enjoy ourselves! Let the brothers put their horses away, and you arrange patrols and sentries! Buy some wine and meat tonight, and let's have a few drinks!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? There will be wine and meat tonight!"
"Thank you, Lord!" everyone shouted.
Tang Tianli kicked Qilin Guard on the butt, "What are you shouting for? This is the young master!"
"Yes! Thank you young master!" More than a hundred people shouted with a smile.
"Okay, let's all go and rest!" Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand, and everyone dispersed with a smile!
Shen Wei looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Young Master, I'll arrange a secret sentry!"
"Sure!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Tianli, "Where is Miss Tang?"
"Hey, you're asking! I'm sulking in the backyard after renting it, and I don't dare go there!"
Zhao Xuanyi could probably guess, "There is Princess Yong'an in the carriage. Please arrange a room. Don't be too harsh!"
"Understood! Does it look good?"
"It's okay! Don't mess around! Be careful that King Yong'an will send someone to kill you when he gets angry!"
"Does he dare to come back? Has he forgotten that we beat him to pieces?" Tang Tianli laughed loudly after saying this!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't talk nonsense with him. Although Tang Tianli was also lustful, he could control it. Zhao Xuanyi trusted him in this matter!
Zhao Xuanyi came to the backyard and took a look, my dear, the yard has about two hundred square meters of space, which is enough for playing football! Opposite is a row of main houses, with side rooms on the left, and a stable on the right. The very spacious stable should have been a place where grain was transported to the horses to rest!
Outside the main room, Tang Mi's maid was cleaning, and Zhao Xuanyi came over! "Young Master, you are back!" the maid greeted with a smile!
"Yeah! Is Tang Mi inside?"
"Um!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and opened the door, only to see Tang Mi sitting on a chair. There were many things on the table, including fruits, snacks, tea, candy figures, paper pinwheels, and a little tiger for children to play with!
"Did you buy everything in the market?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
"I want you to take care of it! You actually abandoned me? You have such a conscience!"
"You have no conscience when you say this. I'm going to do something, not going out to have fun!"
"Anyway, it's your fault!" Tang Mi picked up the half-bitten apple and ate it!
Zhao Xuanyi came to Tang Mi with a smile and took out the three words from his sleeve, "Look, what are these?"
Tang Mi glanced at it, but after one glance, she couldn't move away. She saw three boxes full of jewelry, very beautiful!
"Pearl earrings from the East China Sea, gold and jade hairpins, and this Hetian jade bracelet, I wonder if people like it!" Zhao Xuanyi deliberately raised his voice.
"I was wrong. This bracelet is made of mutton-fat jade!" Tang Mi picked up the bracelet, looked at the sun, then breathed a sigh of relief and wiped it with her sleeve!
"Forget it if you don't like it, I'll go back and give it to someone else!"
Tang Mi grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's hand and threw it away, "They're all mine!"
"Sure! It's all yours!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he hugged Tang Mi's waist!
Lin Min pushed her away, "What are you doing? You took a few jewelry and it's like eating my tofu? Who do you think this girl is?"
Zhao Xuanyi frowned, "Have a better attitude! What did I say when you drank my soy milk? Are you unwilling to eat your tofu?"
When Tang Mi heard this, her face turned red. She covered Zhao Xuanyi's mouth and said, "I tell you, this is the only time in your life!"
"Hahaha...!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and laughed!
Tang Mi carefully put away all the jewelry. As someone who grew up in a military camp, Tang Mi didn't have much jewelry! Although I have pocket money, it is almost impossible to buy these expensive jewelry! What girl doesn't like jewelry? Especially from Zhao Xuanyi!
"Did Princess Yong'an bring her?" Tang Mi asked.
"Well! Wake up now!"
"Did you say anything to her?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled bitterly, "This woman is very smart. She already guessed it before I even said anything!"
"Really? Interesting! What are your plans next?"
"Of course I'm just trying to scare the snake out of trouble! Starting tomorrow, I will take Princess Yong'an around the city. Within three days, the people of Prince Yong'an will definitely come looking for her!"
"It's a bit dangerous to do this. What if someone takes the opportunity to rob someone?"
"I brought back a hundred Qilin Guards today and asked them to follow her in the dark tomorrow. I want to see how many of them can snatch her away!"
After Tang Mi heard this, she blinked, "You brought back another hundred Qilin Guards?"
Zhao Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, "Don't try to trick me! I won't tell you where the secret base is or how many people are in it!"
"Yes! I didn't pay too much attention to it!" Tang Mi said with a smile. The two looked at each other and then both laughed!
Zhao Xuanyi held Tang Mi in his arms, "I beg you, give me some privacy. You are so powerful, how can I dare to come and play with you in the future?"
"Don't come here! We'll talk about other things later. Where is Princess Yong'an? I'll go see her!"
"you go?"
"What? Is she still better than me?"
"That's not the case!" Zhao Xuanyi was convinced that Tang Mi was the smartest girl he had ever seen!
Liu Qinghe woke up slowly and felt a splitting headache. He opened his eyes and saw a bedroom in front of him. He had not seen sunlight for many days. Now that he saw it, it was still a bit dazzling!
"You're awake!" A strange woman's voice appeared next to her!
Liu Qinghe turned around and saw a beautiful girl sitting on a chair nearby. Liu Qinghe looked around, "Where is this?"
"Xiao Cheng!"
"Shandong?"
"The princess is really smart, she can tell which province it is in if she mentions a city!"
When Liu Qinghe heard this, he immediately became wary, "Who are you?"
"Just a little girl! The Duke is worried that a group of men can't serve you well, so he asked me to come and see what you need!"
Liu Qinghe smiled bitterly and said, "If possible, I need to leave here!"
Tang Mi also laughed after hearing this, but the laughter was full of ridicule, "Princess, can you talk about something sincere?"
"I do not know anything!"
"I didn't ask anything! If you do this, I can only ask the Duke to send you back!"
"Isn't it the same wherever I am?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Tang Mi slowly stood up, poured a cup of tea, and put it in Liu Qinghe's hand. "Actually, even if I don't tell you, you know that this time the Duke came to negotiate with King Yong'an, he clearly didn't want to hurt you!"
"You also know very well in your heart that the Ming Dynasty has been weakened by King Yong'an's troubles. At this moment, the prince is sitting on the dragon throne. The four corners are uneven, and the real power in his hands is only a handful. Otherwise, how could he let King Yong'an escape from the country?"
"But why not King Yong'an? Now King Yong'an probably doesn't have enough troops to make a comeback. Both sides are already at the end of their strength. There is no need to fight to the death at this time and let others reap the benefits, right?"
Liu Qinghe's eyes were full of vigilance, "What do you want to say?"
"It's very simple! After this battle, more than half of the Duke's troops have disappeared. Now what he really lacks is military pay! The court has just experienced war, and Sichuan has encountered floods. At this moment, the national treasury is empty, and it is no longer enough to support the military pay of Qilin Camp! So the Duke's The request is also very simple, it’s nothing more than exchanging the princess for some military pay!”
"Is it possible that my husband needs to come over in person to exchange?" Liu Qinghe asked coldly.
"Of course it's not necessary. We still need each other's credibility! At this moment, the Duke wants to rebuild the Qilin Guard more than arresting King Yong'an! So our expectations and requests are so clear now. I also hope to have a serious talk with the princess. How about talking?"
After hearing this, Liu Qinghe raised his head and looked at Tang Mi, "Who are you?"
"Is it important?"
"It's very important! At least I need to know, do you have the right to make this decision? If you talk for a long time and it's all empty talk, it won't make any sense!"
"I'm just a woman beside the Duke!"
"Ha!" Liu Qinghe chuckled, "I'm really sorry, I'm a little tired and want to take a rest!"
"Easy!" Tang Mi stood up and left without any embarrassment!
After walking out of the room, several Qilin guards at the door closed the door. Tang Mi came to the yard and walked to Zhao Xuanyi.
"How is it?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Sure enough, it's difficult to deal with. I want to use military pay to make some excuses. I want to see how much this princess knows? Or if she can give me a number, I will know how much strength King Yong'an still has! After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Very smart, what's the result?"
"The result? I never expected that this old woman didn't get it for nothing!" Tang Mi said through gritted teeth.
