Because of the division of troops, there were some disputes within the Luoshui army, many soldiers had a relationship, and even a few people almost made radical moves.

Xue Shao could no longer accompany Princess Taiping, so he had to go to the military camp to appease him personally.

When she went out, Princess Taiping personally sent her off. Without Xue Shao's expected crying, Princess Taiping smiled and looked calm, so every time she went to send Xue Shao to the court, she told her some details and trivial things in life.

Xue Shao used to listen to these words every day, and sometimes felt a little trivial and impatient. But today, I heard that the words and words of the thousands of instructions were all Princess Taiping's affection for him.

Walking to the door, Xue Shao turned around and held Princess Taiping's hands, "Enron, I'm leaving." ”

"Go ahead, come back early." Princess Taiping smiled slightly and said lightly.

"I'm afraid I'll ...... this time"

"Sooner or later, you're going to have to come back, aren't you?" Princess Taiping interrupted Xue Shao's words, still smiling.

Xue Shao nodded with a smile and kissed Princess Taiping's forehead.

Princess Taiping closed her eyes and accepted Xue Shao's kiss as if she was enjoying it.

"Listen, the child is moving!" Princess Taiping suddenly said, "He seems to know that Daddy is about to go out, and he is a little reluctant!" ”

"Really?" Xue Shao hurriedly squatted down and put his ear to Princess Taiping's big belly to listen.

There is really a subtle sound of fetal movements.

"Child, you have to be obedient, don't mess with your mother." Xue Shao said softly, "When Daddy comes back, I'll let you ride a big horse, buy you a lot of toys, and buy you a lot of delicious food!" ”

"Fool! He hasn't even been born yet, where can he understand? Princess Taiping murmured softly, and gently caressed Xue Shao's cheeks with both hands.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

Xue Shao closed his eyes, held Princess Taiping's hand in his palm and put it to his mouth, and kissed him deeply.

Princess Taiping bit her lips tightly to prevent tears from slipping out.

"Go, my man!" Princess Taiping suddenly pulled Xue Shao and motioned him to stand up, stared at Xue Shao with red eyes, and said word by word, "Go where you should go and do what you have to do!" ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath, stared at Princess Taiping's eyes and nodded solemnly, then picked up Princess Taiping's beautiful cheeks, lowered his head, and kissed her red lips deeply.

Let go, Xue Shao turned around abruptly, and strode away without looking back.

Princess Taiping suddenly burst into tears, and her body shook a little.

Linlang hurriedly stepped forward and supported Princess Taiping left and right.

"Xue Lang, you have to remember - you are not only my dependence, my future, but also my pride, my pride!"

Xue Shao strode non-stop.

He didn't dare to stop.

He was afraid that if he stopped, he would not want to leave!

Princess Taiping's voice came from behind her like a shout-

"Xue Lang, I love you!"

"Love you handsome and chic!"

"Love you for your suave love!"

"Love you extraordinary!"

"Love you heroic!"

In the last voice, Princess Taiping only said that she could hear it-

"Don't go ......"

……

Xue Shao led the horse and was alone on the bank of the Luoshui River near the bridgehead of Tianjin for a long time, and finally calmed down and chose his mind from the sadness of parting.

After taking a few deep breaths with relief, Xue Shao patted his chest and persuaded himself, "We will meet again soon!" Soon!! ”

Leaving the riverside, Xue Shao was about to ride on his horse to the barracks, when a woman's voice came from the cold Tianjin Bridge, "Xue Gongzi!" ”

Xue Shao looked up and saw that half a beautiful figure was poking out on the bridge, and it was actually Yu Hongye, who had not been seen for a long time.

Xue Shao saw her on the spot, and called: "Miss Yu came just in time, I have something to look for you!" ”

"That's a coincidence, I also have something I want to ask Childe!"

"I'll come up—I'll come down!" The two of them said in unison, and then they both laughed.

Yu Hongye rode a carriage around the bridgehead of Tianjin Bridge and came to the riverside under the bridge to meet Xue Shao.

Xue Shao saw that Yu Hongye was dressed in a graceful and luxurious aristocratic costume, with a plump and alluring snow-white on his chest, and the headdress, necklace and other things were definitely not seen by ordinary people. If you don't know her origin, most people will definitely think that she is the daughter of a princely and noble family, and they will never guess that she is a businessman with low social status.

"The girl is dressed up like this, is she going to visit a dignitary?" Xue Shao asked with a smile.

"Childe really guessed it." Yu Hongye lowered her eyebrows and looked very humble, bowed, and said, "That dignitary, just you!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Say, what's the matter with me?" ”

"I have heard that Gongzi is about to lead the Luoshui army to Xiafeng Erzhou to fight against the Turkic rebellion, but is there such a thing?" Yu Hongye stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Yes." Xue Shao smiled and nodded, "It seems that you are really good at the sky now, and you can also find out about the secrets of the military state." ”

"Childe teased." Yu Hongye said, "Although I have made friends with some powerful ministers, I don't dare to inquire casually about military affairs, and others don't dare to leak them at will." Actually, this is the Queen Mother herself telling me! ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao felt a little surprised, "What is the purpose of her suing you for this matter?" ”

Yu Hongye smiled slightly, looking quite mysterious, and leaned closer and whispered: "The Queen Mother told me that the money and food you brought with you on this expedition are not abundant. When it comes to the battle ahead, it is inevitable that the hand is tight and even difficult. So the Empress Dowager built yì and asked me to take the caravan with you to Xiazhou, and then do business and make profits under the rule of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. All the profits will be used to support your military expenses! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xue Shao felt a little surprised, "Since this will be the Empress Dowager's mention?" ”

"Yes, it's true!" Yu Hongye took out a document written on yellow silk silk, spread it out and saw that it was actually an imperial edict, which clearly wrote that the red leaf merchants were awarded the "Helong Salt and Iron Military Merchant", and the local yamen at all levels must be given the greatest convenience and must not levy commercial taxes, but the Xiazhou Metropolitan Governor's Office has the right to govern the red leaf merchants.

"Great!" Xue Shao was overjoyed!

With this edict, the Red Leaf Merchants were able to deal in the vast areas of Helong (mainly within the jurisdiction of the Xiazhou Metropolitan Governorate) to deal in important basic daily necessities such as salt, grain, oil, and cloth sold by the imperial court, as well as important military materials such as iron tools and horses.

The six words "words and daughters" to describe "Helong Salt and Iron Military Merchant" are all demeaning to it. To put it more figuratively, this should give Xue Shao an inexhaustible and inexhaustible - exclusive bank!

"Momiji, your time has come!" Xue Shao clutched the edict tightly, "Within three years, if you can't become the richest businessman in Guanlong, then it proves that you are incompetent and I am a waste!" ”

"Momiji's fortune will always follow Childe!" Yu Hongye was also very excited, and bowed deeply to Xue Shao, "When will Gongzi set off, and Hongye should also prepare?" ”

"The sooner the better." Xue Shao said, "But you also have a lot of family business in Liangjing, I'm afraid it will take some time to take care of it, so you don't have to be too anxious, it's okay for you to come back after I leave." After all, there is still fighting in the west, so you can wait in the rear for a while and take your caravan over when the fighting has subsided. ”

"One qiē, but according to the orders of the child!" Yu Hongye hurriedly said, "When the son leaves, you might as well bring two baskets of carrier pigeons that I have trained." Once the front is settled, Childe can release the pigeon. As soon as they come back, I'll take the caravan and set off! ”

"So much the best!"

Xue Shao let out a long breath, and the mood that was still a little gloomy just now suddenly became much more relaxed. He thought to himself, the imperial court only gave me such a small amount of military funds to fight, maybe there was really a difficulty, or maybe there was Pei Yan's small action, he was deliberately wearing small shoes for me.

Although Pei Yan is generally regarded as a very competent and dedicated prime minister, he has already had a history of using power to attack political opponents with the technique of "using power for personal gain".

In fact, Wu Zetian also had a lot of complaints about the adverse effects of "beheading and subduing" in private, but she never said it to Pei Yan. This time, she and Pei Yan already had a disagreement about the candidate for the commander, and seeing that the imperial court only gave such a small amount of money and food, Wu Zetian would definitely muttered in his heart - will this be like last time, because of Pei Yan's "small actions" and lead to the defeat of the war or bring other adverse consequences?

Thinking of this, Xue Shao couldn't help but pat his forehead twice, and now I finally understand why she told me in advance not to fight with Pei Yan, it turned out that she had already made arrangements! She didn't agree with Pei Yan's arrangements, but she didn't take the "hard-hitting" method to compete with Pei Yan, but used a roundabout method and secretly gave me a sum of "private money" - so there was the birth of Yu Hongye, the "Helong Salt and Iron Official"!

Ginger is still old and spicy!

Mother-in-law, this time it's really righteous!

"What is Childe thinking, with such a bright smile?" Yu Hongye saw Xue Shao's expression and asked with a smile.

"Think about money!" Xue Shao smiled, "I seem to see that the rolling money is overwhelmingly pressing on me, and it almost scares me silly!" ”

"Hee-hee!" Yu Hongye couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, "I didn't expect that Gongzi would love money so much?" ”

"People die for money, birds die for food, who doesn't love money?" Xue Shao said with a smile, "If you see the Queen Mother again, you must remember to thank her old man on my behalf." Let's just say that Xue Shao's great kindness to her is unforgettable. When I get to the front, I will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the country and her old man! ”

"Momiji must be brought!" Yu Hongye bowed very solemnly. has been friends with dignitaries for so long, and her "sense of smell" has long been different from what it used to be. The sentence in Xue Shao's words, "Serve the country and serve her old man" is intriguing, not just casually!

"It's a good sign to encounter such a good thing when you set out on the expedition!" Xue Shao smiled, "Miss Yu, you are really my lucky star!" ”

"That's what Momiji said." Yu Hongye's face flushed slightly, and said, "Childe, you are really the noble person in my life!" ”

Xue Shao blinked his eyes and couldn't help laughing, how did this sound like a little warm?

"Childe is busy with military affairs, and Momiji doesn't dare to bother." Yu Hongye bowed again, "Hongye will say goodbye to Gongzi, he will meet again in Xiazhou!" ”

"Good! You and I will say goodbye, and we will meet again one day! ”

Xue Shao turned over and got on the horse, smiled at Yu Hongye on the horse, and spurred the horse to gallop away.

Yu Hongye stared at Xue Shao's back and touched his cheeks with both hands, "Why is it so hot?" …… Why was it that when I saw him, I was completely lost, and I was even more nervous and cramped than when I saw the Queen Mother? ”
