Qin Xiao saw that he was unprecedentedly squirming, and thought that this was usually looking for someone to borrow money but was embarrassed to speak, so he asked casually.

But he never expected that Su Changyu would really find himself to borrow silver, but he was stunned this time.

Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't speak, Su Changyu thought that Qin Xiao refused, and he didn't say much, so he turned around to leave, Qin Xiao stopped and said, "How much do you lack?" ”

Su Changyu looked left and right, and then walked over, still leaning his neck slightly, and said, "How much do you have on you?" ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Lao Tzu had hundreds of thousands of taels on him, do you have to take it?

"You name an approximate number, I'll see if there's any." Qin Xiao could only say: "If it's really not enough, I'll go somewhere else to make up." "I thought to myself, can I let this guy know that he has a huge amount of money, otherwise he will open his mouth every once in a while, and borrow it himself or not?

"If it's convenient, take three first.... Is there two hundred taels? Although Su Changyu was still indifferent, his tone was obviously a little empty.

Qin Xiao was really a little strange in his heart, he had just given this guy a hundred taels of silver as a meeting gift just a few days ago, could it be that the hundred taels of silver had been spent?

He knew that as Su Changyu's Zhonglang general, the salary for a year was estimated to be no more than two or three hundred taels, and he didn't know what this guy wanted so much silver for, and it was not easy to ask, so he turned around and took two hundred taels of silver tickets from his body, thought about it, and simply took five hundred taels, and then turned around and handed the silver ticket to Su Changyu.

Su Changyu took the silver ticket, and saw that it was a five hundred taels of silver ticket, he was a little surprised, and looked up at Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Second brother, my brother settles the account, the last one hundred taels was my meeting gift, so naturally don't pay it back, but you can't forget the five hundred taels of silver." ”

Su Changyu put the silver ticket in his arms, nodded, then raised his hand and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and without saying much, he turned around and left.

Qin Xiao sold five hundred taels, which is really a drop in the bucket for Qin Xiao's current net worth, but in Su Changyu's eyes, he is naturally extremely generous, and he is definitely a righteous person.

Su Changyu handed over the granary to Qin Xiao and went out of the city by himself, and at noon, Fat Yu came to the warehouse with thirty cavalry.

Geng Shao came with the team, Qin Xiao was naturally happy, and asked Geng Shao to arrange people to guard the granary, and he took Fat Yu and others around the granary, and Fat Yu and others were surprised to see that the granary was full of grain.

"The food here can really feed a soldier and horse." Ning Zhifeng said: "Fenggan Mansion also has a granary, but it has never stored so much grain. ”

Neither Fat Fish nor Dapeng spoke, but Qin Xiao saw Fat Fish's thoughtful appearance and asked, "Brother Yu, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Nope." Fat Fish shook his head.

"Fat fish, just a few of us here, don't hide what you have to say." Ning Zhifeng said: "Are you worried that someone really comes to fetch food?" ”

Fat Yu shook his head and said: "This is the general's granary, and it is in the city, plus we are staying here, ordinary people really don't have the courage to fight here." He looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Wang..... Riding school, these grains are all donated by the wealthy families of Fan County? ”

"What a riding school, it's still called like before." Qin Xiao said: "There is food donated by other wealthy families here, but this is also after the general came back, the Fan family called on the Fan family to donate, and in the past, this was only the storage of the Fan family."

Grain. ”

Dapeng, who had been silent, suddenly said: "There are sixteen warehouses here, all of which are full of grain, which can fully support the military needs of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for more than two years." ”

Fat Yu nodded, and finally said, "Brother Wang, when I saw the granary here just now, I thought of the granary over there in Fenggan Mansion. The Yuwen family also repaired the granary, but the scale is less than half of what is here, and there is not much grain in stock, so I am thinking nonsense, if Fan County and Yuwen County fight, what will be the result? With a solemn expression, he looked at several people who were surprised, and said softly: "Everyone thinks that among the three counties of Xiling, Yuwen County is the strongest, and Fan County is the weakest, but now it seems that if there is a sudden war, Yuwen County may not be the opponent of Fan County." ”

Qin Xiao didn't expect Fat Yu to suddenly have such an idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he glanced at the huge granary, and his heart was also cold.

"Naturally, the food here cannot be stored overnight." Fat Yu said: "There are very few grain fields in Fan County, even in a bumper year, the grain is not enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people in Fan County, and all of these grains are bought from the Guannei. Touching his chin, he said: "Actually, no one has noticed that Fan Jun has been buying a car in the Guannai, and it has accumulated a lot, and he has stored so much grain." ”

"The wealthy families of Fan County also have a lot of grain." Ning Zhifeng said: "I didn't realize it before, but now it seems that they really value food." However, they are not self-sufficient in food, and it is reasonable for them to prepare for food disasters in famine years. ”

Fat Yu said: "This time the Fan family in the name of donating military food, but also let the major families of Fan County out of blood, the court knows that Fan County donated food, naturally the Fan family is the first merit, but I am afraid that the court will return to reward Chang Renhou." ”

Qin Xiao was about to say something, but he saw Geng Shao hurriedly coming over, holding a letter in his hand, and presented it to Qin Xiao: "Riding school, someone sent a letter just now, and I want to hand it over to you." ”

Qin Xiao took the letter, found that there was no payment outside, and asked, "Who sent the letter?" ”

"Very ordinary people." Geng Shao said: "After sending the letter, he left quickly and did not leave his name. ”

Qin Xiao nodded, Geng Shao bowed his hand and retreated, Fat Fish and the others were also very conscious, and dispersed, Qin Xiao took out the letterhead from it, glanced at it a few times, his face changed slightly, looked at Fat Fish and the others twice, and saw that they didn't pay attention to their side, and immediately put the letter in his arms.

The granary has barracks, and Geng Shao divided the nearly 50 people guarding the granary into two shifts, in addition to guarding the three gates of the granary, there are also people patrolling the granary day and night.

Not only Qin Xiao, but also Fat Fish and the others all know the importance of this granary, something is really going to go wrong here, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the one who is responsible for guarding the granary will not be able to escape, and they will all lose their heads.

In the middle of the night, Qin Xiao found a cotton jacket to change into, and the night in Xiling was getting colder and colder, but fortunately, there was a stove in the barracks, and a fire was lit at night, and the house was also warm.

The soldiers all changed into winter clothes, but Rao was like this, patrolling at night was also a chore.

Qin Xiao turned around the granary, and then went out from the side door of the granary, the guards naturally didn't dare to ask more, Qin Xiao went out, and then took out the letter during the day from his arms, took out the letterhead, and turned to the back, but there was a map drawn on the back, Qin Xiao remembered it in his heart, put away the letterhead, pressed down the brim of the hat, and walked quickly with a knife, and soon disappeared into the night.

The granary is only a few miles to the east, there is a dragon king temple, and the dragon king temple is ten on weekdays

It is deserted, but in case of drought, there will be a large sacrifice here, begging the dragon lord for rain.

Qin Xiao went straight to the Dragon King Temple, touched the handle of the Blood Demon Knife, walked to the door, found that the temple door was empty, pushed open the door, in the cold night, made a "crunch" sound, saw the front of the hall lit up with a faint light, walked over slowly, entered the hall, only to see a person with his back to the temple door, his hands behind his back, tall, wearing a hat, but judging from the back, it should be the person he wants to see.

Qin Xiao took two steps forward, the man didn't look back, Qin Xiao finally said, "Big Prince!" ”

The letter sent today was about Qin Xiao to come to the Dragon King Temple late at night to meet him, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but the payment was Yuwen Chengchao, which really surprised Qin Xiao.

After the old Marquis of Yuwen was killed, Yuwen Chengchao's whereabouts were unknown, and he did not return to Fenggan Mansion, Qin Xiao has been worried about the safety of Yuwen Chengchao, and he is even more worried that Yuwen Chengchao will be used by people with ulterior motives.

Qin Xiao couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the letter, but if it was really Yuwen Chengchao who sent someone to send it, he really didn't want to miss this opportunity to meet Yuwen Chengchao.

The general is also worried that Yuwen Chengchao will really think that the wolf rider will ambush the old marquis Yuwen under his command, if Yuwen Chengchao takes the general as an enemy, with his status and ability in Xiling, it is likely to give birth to a big mess.

Qin Xiao didn't want Yuwen Chengchao to be the enemy of the general, and he didn't want to see Yuwen Chengchao go astray.

Although he and Yuwen Chengchao are not friends of life and death, they are also brothers, Yuwen Chengchao has always treated him well, today there is a chance, he just wants to see Yuwen Chengchao and explain the misunderstanding, he is not sure if Yuwen Chengchao will believe his explanation, but as long as there is a chance, he will try his best to resolve this grudge.

The man did not speak, nor did he look back, but stood there like a stone sculpture.

Qin Xiao took two steps forward and shouted again: "Eldest prince, I'm Qin Xiao!" ”

The man finally turned around and walked slowly towards Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao saw that the brim of his hat covered the upper half of his face, his heart tightened, and with a "choking" sound, the Blood Demon Knife was already out of the sheath, and at this time, the right hand of the hat man was thrown, the cold light rose sharply, Qin Xiao swung the knife up, and the sound of "Ding Ding Ding" sounded, and the three cold stars all hit Qin Xiao's blade.

Qin Xiao knew that he had fallen into the trap, if the other party was not Qin Xiao, there must be other people in ambush in this Dragon King Temple, the so-called capture of the thief and the king, at this time he was afraid that it would be too late to withdraw, so he shouted and rushed towards the hat, thinking that as long as he captured this person, he might be able to control the situation.

The hat-to-hat man waved his hands together, and several cold stars struck again, immediately blocking Qin Xiao's footsteps rushing forward, Qin Xiao saw the hidden weapon flashing with a ghostly light, and knew that it was likely to quench the poison, so he dodged sideways.

"Don't move." The man with the hat said in a deep voice, "If you move again, you will surely die." ”

Qin Xiao dodged the hidden weapon and stood still, but heard another voice behind him: "Move again, shoot you!" ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the left, the man was covered in black and masked, and he was holding an arrow crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow arrow was aimed directly at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao knew that the crossbow arrows were powerful, as long as the other party pulled the mechanism and the crossbow arrows were shot, it was almost impossible for him to dodge them in such a short distance.
