283. Borrowing grain?
Yan King's token?!
Liu Han frowned, and said lightly with a slightly calm face: "I'll go and tell the county lord." ”
Gong Xiaodie snorted lightly and said, "You dare to disobey the prince's order?" Liu Han glanced Gong Xiaodie up and down, "I'm the county lord's person." Star Danger. ”
Xingwei nodded slightly, signaling Liu Han to go here first and watch.
In the study
Nangong Mo frowned slightly after listening to Liu Han's advice, "Gong Xiaodie came to save people with King Yan's token?" ”
Liu Han nodded and said, "County Lord, the subordinates check that the token is real." Nangong Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't doubt this, Gong Xiaodie doesn't have the courage to fool people with fake ones." But... Why did King Yan leave these people? ”
"This ......" Liu Han shook her head, she was not good at thinking about these questions.
I didn't understand, Nangong Mo was not in a hurry, and said, "Forget it, let's put people in prison first." ”
Liu Han was a little surprised, if the county lord's temperament was really determined to kill those people, Gong Xiaodie didn't say that he was holding the token of King Yan, but it was useless to hold the holy decree. Nangong Mo said with a smile: "The fate cannot be violated, Youzhou City is still up to King Yan." Uncle still has to give face. Killing those people is of little use except for a momentary relief. ”
Liu Han suddenly realized, "The county lord didn't plan to kill them from the beginning? ”
"It's still necessary to kill a few chickens and make an example of monkeys." Nangong Mo said indifferently, she is not a kind-hearted person. She doesn't mind killing a few more people if necessary. Standing up, Nangong Mo said: "Solve the problem of grain and grass first, Gong Xiaodie, presumably Uncle Yan Wang will give us an explanation." ”
When Nangong Mo returned to the courtyard with Liu Han, he happened to catch up with Xiao Qianchi and came back with a few people. Seeing the hundreds of people in the courtyard who were still alive, I couldn't help but look at Nangong Mo with some surprise. I haven't done it yet, it's not like my cousin's character?
"Cousin-in-law, has something happened?" Xiao Qianchi walked up to Nangong Mo and asked in a low voice.
Nangong Mo motioned for him to look at Gong Xiaodie, and Xiao Qianchi couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw the token that Gong Xiaodie was holding in his hand.
"County Lord." Gong Xiaodie stepped forward and said to Nangong Mo with a smile, "The prince has an order, these people can't be killed." ”
Nangong Mo glanced at the people who were obviously relieved with a smile, and nodded: "I know, please go back to the palace concubine." ”
Gong Xiaodie was stunned and looked at Nangong Mo in a daze.
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "What else can't be done by the side concubine?" ”
Gong Xiaodie looked at the few people who had just been brought back by Xiao Qianchi, these people were all subordinates of Yanwangfu's status, Xiao Qianchi was also polite to them, and did not let people hold them or tie them up.
Nangong Mo followed her gaze and said with a smile: "The side concubine's compassion is admirable, don't worry, since I haven't killed these people, naturally I can't touch them." They are still the heads and faces of the Yan Palace. Is there anything else the side concubine is worried about? ”
"No ......"
"Then please. Come on, send the side concubine back to Lingquan Temple to return to uncle, we understand what he means. Nangong Mo didn't give Gong Xiaodie a chance to speak, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, County Lord." The two guards stepped forward and said respectfully, "Concubine Fang, please." ”
Gong Xiaodie looked at Nangong Mo's calm and gloomy expression, as well as the number of people around him and the other party, and knew that he couldn't bargain. I had to say: "This concubine brought someone, so you don't need to send it." ”
The two guards didn't seem to hear his words, and said respectfully, "Concubine Side, please." ”
Gong Xiaodie gritted her teeth and brushed her sleeves away.
"Cousin, what the hell is going on? How could my father... Could it be that Gong Xiaodie faked his father's order? Xiao Qianchi asked. Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "No, Gong Xiaodie doesn't have that much courage." ”
"But this doesn't fit my father's temperament." Xiao Qianchi was puzzled. With the character of his father, such a thing happened, these people are definitely not a pity to die, how can they send someone to stop it. Moreover, do you still send Gong Xiaodie to stop it?
Nangong Mo shrugged, "How do I know?" "She's not a fairy.
Nangong Mo looked at the expressions of several people who had been taken over, most of whom were acquaintances. Obviously, they also understood that something was wrong, and it was normal for them to be questioned, but they did not express their dissatisfaction with the yelling and yelling like the stewards before. Nangong Mo sighed, looked back at Xiao Qianchi and said, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, do you go to solve the problem of grain and grass, or find out the truth of the matter?" ”
"Solve the grain and grass?!" Xiao Qianchi was taken aback, "Cousin-in-law, do you have a way?" ”
Nangong Mo said: "Let's go borrow a little from Master Qi first, and then talk about dealing with these two days." ”
Xiao Qianchi touched his nose, "I'll stay." He asked himself if he had the ability to take out the food from the mouth of the political envoy of Youzhou.
Nangong Mo nodded, reached out and patted Xiao Qianchi's shoulder, and led the person to turn around and walk out of the courtyard.
Behind him, Xiao Qianchi looked at the people in the courtyard, and his expression became cold. Pushing the troublesome things to his cousin-in-law, he can't even do the rest of the things, okay?
Nangong Mo sat in the yamen hall of the Youzhou political envoy and drank two cups of tea, and the Youzhou political envoy strolled leisurely. Just looking at his pace, he also knows that the political envoy of Youzhou is not in a bad mood at this time. Also, except for such a major event in Yanwangfu, whether it has anything to do with him or not, his mood can't be bad.
"The county lord of Xingcheng, the county lord stepped on the cheap ground, the old man's little yamen is really shining." The political envoy of Youzhou stepped forward quickly and said with a smile. A few days ago, he just suffered a big loss in the hands of Nangong Mo, and he was able to make up for it today, and the political envoy of Youzhou was really in a good mood. Of course he knew what Nangong Mo was here for.
Nangong Mo put down the teacup and said with a faint smile: "Lord Qi is polite, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." The political envoy of Youzhou sat down on the main seat, and said politely with some insincerity.
"I don't know what happened when the county lord came?"
Nangong Mo was also not polite, and said in a deep voice: "I don't hide it, the county lord thinks."
"To tell you the truth, the lord of this county wants to ask the lord to borrow a batch of grain and grass."
The smile on the face of the political envoy of Youzhou fell, and he pondered for a moment before he said sincerely: "The county lord... It's really not that the old man doesn't give face to the county lord. Rather, the county lord also knew that the border pass was full of smoke now, and the old man had just sent a large amount of grain and grass to General Xie's army a few days ago. The annual tax revenue of this Youzhou has always been the lion's share of the Yanwang Mansion, and the old man is in the hands... It's not loose. ”
Nangong Mo was not in a hurry, and calmly watched the old fox play.
Seeing her like this, the political envoy of Youzhou also felt a little bored. I had to say with a straight face: "It's not a secret, the Yamen of Youzhou is indeed not the grain and grass that the county lord needs." ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyes and said, "Half a moon will be returned." The matter of grain and grass has never been sad for Lord Qi, so it is difficult for Lord Qi to not even want to give this face. Do you not believe His Royal Highness King Yan, or can't you trust the lord of this county? ”
"Don't dare." The political envoy of Youzhou hurriedly said, "It's definitely not that the old man deliberately embarrassed the county lord, two days ago, the old man just sent 200,000 loads of grain and grass to the border pass. The county lord wants to be seconded now, but even if he kills the old man, he can't be transferred. It is true that the government has several granaries in various parts of Youzhou, but... It will be at least seven or eight days before the grain and grass are to be escorted over. Other than that... I'm afraid that there are not many of them. ”
Nangong Mo frowned, "Two months ago, Lord Qi just sent 70,000 stone of grain to General Xie's army, and two days ago, he sent another 200,000 stone. The lord of this county wants to know, what does the Yamen of Youzhou, the capital of Youzhou, which has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, do with so much food? ”
"This..."The political envoy of Youzhou was stunned, shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know." But General Xie's people came with His Majesty's will, not to mention that he asked for 200,000 stone of grain, even if he asked for the old man's head, the old man didn't dare not give it. ”
Nangong Moxiu's eyebrows tightened, and the center of his mind was spinning.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the political envoy of Youzhou said: "County Lord, this matter... The old man really couldn't help. Please also ask for forgiveness from the county lord and His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
Nangong Mo was not angry, and said with a smile: "Lord Qi is serious, since Lord Qi said so... Then please ask Lord Qi to bring a message to General Xie. In recent years, the border of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been laborious. ”
"Huh?!" The political envoy of Youzhou was stunned for a moment, and looked at the woman in front of him with some puzzlement. Nangong Mo said leisurely: "Presumably Lord Qi has also heard that all the grain in the granary of King Yan's Mansion has been damaged. Without food, it will naturally be a big deal. In recent years, the affairs of the border pass can only bother General Xie. ”
"But... But..."
"What's so good about that?" Nangong Mo was puzzled, "Where can a hungry soldier fight?" It is estimated that if the uncle does not order the withdrawal of troops, all the soldiers standing at the border pass as human shields will not be able to withstand the Northern Yuan cavalry cutting a few back and forth. You say, don't you? ”
Only then did the political envoy of Youzhou come back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "The county lord said to withdraw the army? What can the county lord do? Youzhou is the fief of His Royal Highness King Yan! "The sin of losing the land, even if King Yan is a prince, he can't bear it.
Nangong Mowan'er smiled, "Could it be that Youzhou is not the land of Great Xia?" ”
The political envoy of Youzhou naturally didn't dare to say no, but if he really let the Yan Wangfu withdraw his troops like this, then Xie Li's side would be over.
"Lord of Star City, don't forget... Zunfu is now also in General Xie's army. "It's not just Xie Li who withdrew the army, but even Wei Junmo is in the pit.
Nangong Mo spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then what should Master Qi say?" The county lord is young and knowledgeable, and he really doesn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him? ”
The political envoy of Youzhou was speechless, even if he didn't withdraw his troops without food, he couldn't fight. After a long time, he said with some difficulty: "What do you think about living?" ”
Nangong Mo smiled, "There are not many main ones in this county, since Lord Qi doesn't have it, how about asking General Xie to borrow 50,000 stone grain and grass first?" is still the same sentence, half a moon must be returned. ”
"This, General Xie ......" Youzhou's political envoy hesitated.
Nangong Mo had a smile on his face, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes, "Lord Qi, General Xie has only had a few encounters with the county lord in the army. However, Lord Qi is in this Youzhou City, and everyone will often meet in the future. Do you say? ”
Is this a threat?!
The political envoy of Youzhou looked at the smiling woman in front of him with dark eyes. However, he had to accept her threats. What the county lord of Xingcheng said was not wrong, Xie Li was protected by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around the army, and it was a little difficult for King Yan to do anything to him. But he is going to stay in Youzhou City all the time. As long as His Majesty does not issue an explicit order to cut down the feudal domain for a day, King Yan will press on him for a day. Even if King Yan killed him on impulse, he would die in vain.
After being silent for a long time, the political envoy of Youzhou said in a deep voice: "This official sent someone to discuss with General Xie. ”
Nangong Mo chuckled, "Discussion? Lord Qi, this is a matter related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you don't negotiate it, you won't get the lives of those soldiers back. ”
The political envoy of Youzhou gritted his teeth, "The old man promised to ask General Xie to be accommodating." If there is a bad pool, the county lord will accompany the old man's life. ”
Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said softly: "How dare you, since this is the case, there is Master Lao." Please also ask your Excellency to convey the words of the county lord to General Xie, intrigue is one thing, but it involves the peace of the border and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, please also ask General Xie to think twice. ”
The old man naturally understood. The county lord will ask for it first. The political envoy of Youzhou said with a gloomy face. Nangong Mo didn't care about being driven out in front of him, he just shrugged his shoulders and got up to say goodbye.
When Nangong Mo's figure disappeared outside the door, the political envoy of Youzhou suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it down, "A bunch of fools!" You'll be looking for trouble! ”
"County Lord, what are you doing so politely to that old man?" Outside the Yamen of the Youzhou Political Envoy, Liu Han looked back at the plaque at the door of the Yamen and frowned, "That batch of grain and grass must be inseparable from the surname Qi, why are you still ......" Nangong Mo shook his head and said: "The Youzhou Political Envoy is not a fool, and he can't escape from doing this kind of thing." His family is still in Youzhou. And... Now is not the time to find out who is behind it, now is the most
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of grain and grass. ”
"But, where will we get the grain and grass to return in half a month?"
Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you really think that Uncle Yan Wang will ignore this matter?" ”
"This ......," Liu Han looked at Qu Lianxing, who was walking beside him. Qu Lianxing said with a smile: "It shouldn't be, if His Royal Highness King Yan ignores such a big thing...... then he is no longer obsessed with women, but he is already crazy."
Nangong Mo said: "King Yan was able to let Gong Xiaodie stop us, which shows that he knows no less about this matter than us." It's even possible ... He knows better than we do. ”
"Then why didn't His Royal Highness King Yan do anything?" Qu Lianxing frowned.
"How do you know he didn't do anything?" Nangong Mo asked with a smile.
Qu Lianxing shook her head, speechless.
"Lord Qiyu, the prince is invited." A few guards from the Yan Wang's Mansion hurriedly came over and said respectfully.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? Isn't my uncle going to fast and retreat? ”
The leader of the guards touched his nose and said, "This... The county lord will naturally explain in the past. ”
"Let's take a trip, then." Nangong Mo said with a smile.
"County Lord, please."
Liu Han looked sideways at a few people, and after confirming that it was someone from the Yan Wangfu, he waved his hand towards the darkness. Several men in black quickly appeared on the street, and then walked towards this side with ambition, followed by Xingwei, who had long gray hair and a cold face.
A few guards didn't do much to see these people who suddenly appeared, and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Nangong Mo. Wei Shizi was originally the hall master of the Zixiao Palace, which was famous in the rivers and lakes, and they all knew about a group of powerful killers under him. Although they were all elites among the guards of the Yan Palace, they didn't want to casually clash with these killers who killed people without blinking.
Lingquan Temple is in the southern foot of Yangtai Mountain in the western suburbs of Youzhou City, formerly known as Qingshui Temple, because there is a dragon pond in the temple, the spring is crystal clear, and it is renamed Lingquan Temple. Compared to the more famous Huiju Temple and Jiafu Temple, it is more suitable for meditation and fasting and praying.
In a pavilion in the apse of the temple, King Yan is sitting in the pavilion and meditating on the chessboard in front of him. Gong Xiaodie sat on the side and gently kneaded his shoulders for him. Opposite King Yan, sat a young monk dressed in a white monk's robe and with a handsome appearance. The monk's expression was peaceful, and his eyebrows and eyes were faintly gentle. If it weren't for the three thousand green silks falling out, I was afraid that people would think that he was the son of a family from the old Wang Xie Houmen instead of an outsider.
King Yan stretched out his hand and slowly dropped a piece on the chessboard. The young monk looked at it, stroked his palms and smiled: "The prince's chess is more sharp than a few years ago, and I am afraid that the little monk will lose this game." ”
King Yan didn't care, raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Nianyuan is polite, this king is not proficient in chess and chess." How dare you mention it with the world-famous Master Nianyuan. ”
Nian Yuan shook his head, "The heart of the little monk is only in the chessboard and chess pieces, and the research is naturally more." The heart of the king... The prince is riddled with trivial matters, so he naturally can't take care of these small ways. However, in this sentence, the prince still won. Take three or five steps at most, and you can see the winner or loser. ”
King Yan is not very obsessed with the victory or defeat in the chess game, and when he hears Nianyuan say this, he no longer has to share the victory or defeat with him. just said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Master Nianyuan is more leisurely, not like this king is entangled in mundane things, he is dizzy and dizzy all day long, and it is rare to be idle for a while." ”
Nian Yuan looked at Gong Xiaodie and said with a smile: "The prince is now accompanied by a beautiful woman, isn't it more at ease?" ”
Gong Xiaodie's face was slightly red, and she quickly lowered her head. King Yan was helpless and said with a smile: "Nianyuan, sometimes this king thinks that you are more out of the world than Lingshi, and sometimes he feels that you really shouldn't be a monk." ”
Nianyuan recited the sound of the Buddha, and said indifferently: "Born in the Buddha's gate, it can be seen that it is fate." ”
King Yan sighed and casually took the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess box. asked, "What do Xiao Qianchi and Flawless say there?" ”
Gong Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, only to realize that King Yan was asking her, and hurriedly said: "The county lord and the prince didn't say anything, and they were temporarily imprisoned." It's just that the county lord seems to be a little unhappy. ”
King Yan was not surprised, and said, "Yes, this king thinks that she is going to disobey this king's order and directly behead people." ”
Nian Yuan shook his head and said: "The city is busy, but the prince is watching the excitement outside the city. If you let the Lord of Star City and the prince know...... The county lord of Star City obeyed the order, and the prince seemed to be a little unhappy? ”
King Yan sighed and said, "Flawless is willing to obey orders, which means that she understands what this king means." But Chichi... The king hoped that he would be able to disobey him. It's a pity. ”
Nian Yuan said with a smile: "The prince respects the prince, even if he knows that it is inappropriate, he will not disobey the prince's order, right?" ”
King Yan snorted lightly, "I know that I can't do it, what does the master think?" ”
"Stupid."
King Yan said: "It's stupid, but it's also brave." Chi'er was born with a lack of wisdom, and this king is just afraid that he will have a little more courage. "It's a pity......
"The prince is serious." It is better for people who are not smart to be too courageous, but to be willing to be plain.
"Lord Qiqi, the county lord is here."
"Oh, let her come." King Yan nodded.
