Chapter 385: Worries

Ximen Yuqing's gaze kept staring at Lin Wan's eyes, as if he wanted to see through something, but it seemed that there was nothing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 I saw him shake his head slightly, leaned close to Lin Wan's ear, and whispered, "I have a weapon." ā€

Lin Wan was shocked, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes were full of joy, and he blurted out, "Is what Gongzi said true?"

"Of course. Ximen Yu spit out two words lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and thanked: "The soldiers of the Amudai Pingnan army, thank you, Gongzi!"

Ximen Yuqing chuckled lightly and said, "It's easy to say." With that, he had already turned around and walked out of the Fengxiang Inn with Old Man Zhong.

Lin Wan's heart was agitated, if Ximen Yuqing was really willing to provide weapons, then Zhou Tianqi's battle would have no worries at all. It's easy to get anything, it's a big deal to spend money to buy it, hire a boat to transport it. But there are only weapons, except for the imperial court concession, you can't build them privately, even if you find a blacksmith, you don't dare to help her build weapons, that is a big crime of attempting to rebel and connecting the nine clans.

However, Ximen Yuqing is different, he is the prince of Xiling, no one can control him, no one can cure his sins. He is the only one who has so many weapons in his hands, and he will give them to whoever he dares to say.

Xiling is rich in iron ore, and the weapons created are also first-class, and most of the weapons of various countries are bought from Xiling. If any country offends the Xiling Kingdom and cuts off the main source of weapons, then this war will not be able to be fought.

Lin Wan was entangled in his heart, hoping that Ximen Yuqing would leave quickly, and it was best to never see him again, otherwise he might be recognized by him when he was in time. However, Lin Wan hoped that he could really provide weapons for the Pingnan army as he said, because only he could do it.

looked at the figure of Ximen Yuqing walking farther and farther, and gradually disappeared into the night. Lin Wan sighed lightly, didn't think about it anymore, turned around, and walked towards the upstairs room with Qingtong.

After Old Man Zhong left, the people gradually dispersed. Ah Jin and a few young people who stayed to help briefly discussed the follow-up work arrangements.

It wasn't until the end of the night, in the dead of night, that Ah Jin walked into Lin Wan's room with Bing'er.

Lin Wan had already bathed and changed clothes, wearing a white middle coat, with long hair draped over her shoulders up to her waist. Sitting quietly in front of the window under the moonlight, sipping osmanthus tea brewed by Qingtong.

Bing'er walked into the room, ran to Lin Wan excitedly, took her hand, her eyes were red, tears flowed, and she couldn't cry.

Lin Wan took her hand and let her sit beside her, helped her wipe her tears distressedly, gently hugged her shoulders, and whispered: "Bing'er, it's not good for me to make you suffer." ā€

Bing'er shook her head desperately, wiped away her tears, and after a while she came to her senses, and said with a crying voice: "Miss, Bing'er didn't suffer, Bing'er is worried about Miss." Bing'er was so scared, afraid that she would never see Miss again in the future. ā€

Lin Wan smiled slightly, and said, "How come? Aren't I coming back? I promised to pick you up, and I will definitely come back, you believe me, okay?"

Bing'er held back her tears and nodded, and said, "How could Bing'er not believe Miss?" Bing'er just heard that the war had begun on the south city gate, and she was afraid that Miss would encounter any danger. ā€

Lin Wan shook his head again and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." A lot of things have happened these days, and when I finish talking to Miss Ah Jin, we will talk slowly. ā€

Bing'er's face was full of smiles, pear blossoms brought rain, Chu Chu was moving, nodded obediently, and said, "Well, I'll go next door to talk to Qingtong first, and I'll come to see Miss later." ā€

"Hmm. Lin Wan smiled slightly, nodded, and saw that everything was fine with Bing'er, and finally put her mind at ease.

Bing'er smiled at Lin Wan, got up and left, and gently closed the door.

Ah Jin walked to Lin Wan and sat down, and told Lin Wan in detail what she had just discussed with the villagers downstairs.

Lin Wan nodded and said, "That's very good." This matter will be completely handed over to you, and I have already said that Lord Qi will send someone to answer outside the city. And Lu Gongzi, he should come over tomorrow, and you can make a good sum with him. With his help, you will get twice the result with half the effort. ā€

Ah Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Miss." Now that this matter has the approval of Old Man Zhong, it is equivalent to half of the success. Old Man Zhong is the most prestigious old-timer in Fengnan City, and he is also an old friend of Jin Lao's protector. He is the old patriarch of the Zhong family, and in that great battle more than twenty years ago, he led the people of the city to resist a strong enemy. opened the warehouse to release grain, opened his Zhong family's cellar and ancestral hall, took in many ordinary people, and saved many people. ā€

When Lin Wan heard this, he couldn't help but add a little more respect to Old Man Zhong, nodded slightly, thought about it, and asked, "What news is there about the military rations and salaries transported by the imperial court?"

Ah Jin frowned, sighed and said: "We have already sent someone to investigate, and the news that came back is that the delivery of that batch of military food is not only extremely slow, but also the quantity is obviously wrong, less than half of the amount that the imperial court should allow, and the military salary is the same, which is obviously insufficient." ā€

Lin Wan frowned and asked, "Who is responsible for transporting it?"

Ah Jin thought for a while and said, "It's Liu Jinfeng, the son of Prime Minister Liu's family." ā€

Lin Wan took a deep breath and frowned and asked, "Is there a way to tie him up and let his deputy take all the military rations and salaries in exchange?"

Ah Jin chuckled lightly and said, "What Miss thinks is exactly the same as what our young master thinks. The master of the golden hall was going to go in person, and when he grabbed the military rations and salaries, he directly transported them to the barracks by water, and he had already discussed them with the young master. ā€

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Big brother and I really went to the same place." ā€

Ah Jin continued: "The young master said, when the time comes, we will pretend to be thieves and kidnap Liu Jinfeng first, and then as long as there is a slight threat, the other party will definitely obediently offer the military rations and military salaries. The young master said, even if we don't do it, it is estimated that the other party will stage a scene of robbing the military rations by themselves, otherwise this is less than half of the amount, how will they pay the difference? Not to mention, I am afraid that some people have long wanted to swallow this large amount of money. However, the young master has already sent someone to watch, it should be our thing, and it will definitely not be able to run. ā€

Lin Wan smiled faintly, thought about it, and asked again: "Have we sent someone to check the whereabouts of the other half of the military rations and salaries?"

Ah Jin nodded and said, "I've checked, it's only half." I don't know if it was acquiesced by the emperor, or if it was embezzled by Prime Minister Liu, in short, there was only so much when I came out of the capital. ā€

Lin Wan secretly gritted his teeth, but he was helpless. After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Ah Jin, changed the subject, and asked, "When did the man in white who was by Old Man Zhong's side come today? )
