Ling Kun didn't expect that Helian Jingying, the concubine of the King of Western Xia, who had unfathomable martial arts, would actually be the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Shu Kingdom, and with her identity and status, she definitely had some intention to sneak in.

He hung on the back window and pondered, and saw an old man around 60 years old come in and salute Zhu Zixiao: "The lower officials see the prime minister." ”

Zhu Zixiao smiled and said: "Brother, you are not an outsider, why bother to be polite, please sit down, that Ying'er, serve tea." ”

Helian Jingying entered the door, made tea for Qian Butong and turned around and went out.

"Brother, you haven't rested in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" Zhu Zixiao asked with a smile.

"Brother Prime Minister, that's what I said last time, Dujiangyan has been built for thousands of years, and no one has ever repaired it, and now I want to repair it while the year is good, which is also a good thing for future generations." Qian Butong said.

Zhu Zixiao patted his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I forgot about it when I got busy, I was really old and useless." That's a good thing, you just have to do it. ”

Qian Butong rubbed his hands and said: "Big brother, that's the case, the maintenance of Dujiangyan is a big project, I mean that the eldest brother will allocate more money to do a good job in the project." ”

Zhu Zixiao raised his eyes to look at Qian Butong, who hurriedly lowered his head and drank tea.

Zhu Zixiao tapped the table with his index finger, and said after a while: "Brother Qian, I know what you mean, but you and I are both old men in the hands of the first emperor, and I have to take care of what I should take care of, right?" You just have to play it, I will give you approval, but there can be no mistakes in the quality of the project. ”

Qian Butong was overjoyed, patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Great, I know that the eldest brother is easy to talk here." ”

"Hey, the old guys are also old, and they have to have some pension money, while the treasury is abundant now, I can help as much as I can, and there are not many old friends now." Zhu Zixiao sighed.

"That's right, old brother, I've always wondered, where does the money in our treasury come from, can my brother solve his doubts?" Qian Butong was in a good mood after finishing his business, so he started chatting.

Qian Butong's question was exactly what Ling Kun wanted to know, he instantly pricked up his ears, and the heart in his chest was also pounding, even affecting his hearing.

Zhu Zixiao shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I'm afraid only the emperor knows." ”

Qian Butong said with a smile: "I knew that my brother said this, but how could you not know, at least there is a context." ”

"I won't tell you anything, I know where the emperor's money is spent, except for military expenses, every sum is approved by me. But I really don't know where the money comes from, and every time the treasury is empty, I report it to the emperor, and the next day there will be a large amount of gold, silver and jewels in the treasury. ”

Qian Butong said suspiciously: "Is this really the case, then aren't you surprised, how did this money come from?" ”

Zhu Zixiao sighed: "It's strange and there is no way, you and I are both old men who have served three generations of masters, which emperor is not so mysterious, and it is the emperor's personal guards who guard the treasury, and he is only responsible for the emperor alone, unless the emperor tells you, how can you know?" ”

"Yes, it's strange here, the two emperors were honest tea farmers, and they didn't even dare to make a noise in front of the government, why did they suddenly lead troops to revolt, and they were invincible, what did they go through?" Qian Butong was puzzled.

"Brother, don't guess, since the emperor doesn't want us to know, he has his own reason, as long as there is money, it can make the country of Shu peaceful and peaceful, this is a good thing, just do our own work." Zhu Zixiao said.

"That's what I said, but I just don't feel down-to-earth, where did the emperor's money come from, is it exhausted, if it is spent one day, what else can Shu do?" Qian Butong said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, looking at the emperor's current handwriting, it shouldn't be able to spend it for a while."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my brother, just do things well, it's not too early, and my brother won't bother you with work." Qian Butong got up and said goodbye.

"Come on, it's not early today, I have to go back to rest, just send it to you." Zhu Zixiao stood up and walked out with Qian Butong, sending him to the door of the front hall, but turned back to the back hall and slept.

Ling Kun had already gotten up from the back window at this moment and was resting flat on the roof. After listening to it for a long time, I finally pointed to the edge, but I didn't expect that even the prime minister didn't know where the money from Shu came from.

The more he couldn't find the answer, the more strange Ling Kun became, where did this large amount of money come from?

At this time, the door below opened again with a "squeak", Ling Kun

Quietly hanging on the window and looking down, she saw that it was Yelu Jingying who came in, she cleaned up Zhu Zixiao's soup bowl and teacup, and packed up the books on the table.

But when I cleaned up, I read all the folds one by one, and slapped the table a few times after reading it, obviously not finding what she wanted. Then he went out with cups and bowls, and locked the door of the study by the way.

Ling Kun lay on the roof, thinking about what to do with Helian Jingying. If it weren't for the fact that he had taken too much revenge, he would have been stabbed to death by this woman with a sword last time, and such a deep hatred naturally could not be avenged. Moreover, such a vicious and ruthless enemy woman staying in the world is a scourge after all, so it is better to kill it secretly at night.

Thinking of this, he quietly got up and followed behind Helian Jingying, thinking about how to kill her with one blow.

You must know that Helian Jingying's martial arts are very strong, and he once helped him turn the tide on Wudang Mountain. So if you really fight, you may not be someone's opponent.

It's a good idea to use the "Pangu One Sword" to secretly snipe, but if you don't hit a move, even if you startle the snake, it will be difficult to snipe again.

What to do, there is a stupid way, stupid is a little stupid, but it must work.

At this time, Helian Jingying brought the tea set to the kitchen and prepared to turn back to the backyard to rest. At this moment, the kitchen is off work, and there is silence nearby, which is a good time to kill people and set fires. Ling Kun decided to do it right here.

Thinking of this, he made a decisive move, his body was like an arrow, and he instantly rushed to Helian Jingying's side.

Helian Jingying didn't expect someone to attack her at this moment, without any defense, and suddenly a strong force knocked him down, his neck was tightly locked, his breathing could not be smooth, and he was full of martial arts.

This is the effect Ling Kun wants.

Helian Jingying's eyes widened, looking through the moonlight, he was instantly shocked, it was Ling Kun who attacked him, how could it be that he was not dead when he hit his own five-color pull? Could it be that the ghost has come to seek revenge on himself?

No matter how scared she was, the ** who survived still let Helian Jingying struggle to support, her hands were tightly pressed against Ling Kun's chest, trying to push him out, but she never moved, and in desperation, she also reached out and locked Ling Kun's throat.

As a result, the two martial arts masters were like two shrews fighting, pinching each other's throats and rolling on the ground for a stalemate.
