At night, in the barracks of the Shence Army under the royal control, a soldier took off his heavy armor and quietly slipped out of the barracks when there was no one around.

Under the cover of night, the soldiers walked along the bleak streets all the way north.

It was late at night, and in addition to the passing watchmen on the street, only the moonlight on the floor remained.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." A slightly hoarse voice made its way through the street and far away.

The sound is tiring, and if the people who have lived here for a long time do not listen to the sound of the watch, they will not be able to put down their hearts and fall asleep.

The watchman didn't notice that there was a man in the corner watching him quietly.

The soldiers in the corner waited for the watchmen to go far before they came out and continued on their way.

After a short time, the soldier came to Guo's mansion, that is, the mansion of Guo Da, the secretary of the military department.

The soldier did not knock on the door, but trotted directly towards the two-person high wall, and when he got close, he stepped on the wall with his legs raised, kicked a few times, and jumped directly onto the wall like a vigorous cat.

After jumping out of the courtyard, the soldier seemed to know the layout and structure of the Guo family, and also knew where his goal was, so he didn't hesitate and walked straight to the backyard.

Avoiding the two yawning and patrolling men, the soldier reached for the door of a room in the backyard and reached out and tapped on the door a few times.

The sound of the thump was abrupt in the silence of the night, but fortunately the soldier only knocked four times before stopping.

It seems random, but in fact, there is a doorway in this knock, and those who have a heart can hear it, it is one long and two short.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the room:

"Come in."

The soldier looked around and made sure no one noticed, pushed open the door, walked in, and finally closed the door.

The middle-aged man on the bed sat up at this time, and in the early spring, the night was still a little cold, and he put his coat on his body.

The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the face of the person sitting on the bed, with big eyebrows and high nose, slightly bald, it is Guo Da, the head of the Guo family.

"Why are you here?" Guo Da asked.

"Lord Hui, today Your Majesty came to the Hiss Mountains and removed me from the team of 12 people on the ground branch for the reason of being the last to be eliminated." The soldier replied.

This soldier is none other than Daytime's Yin.

Guo Da nodded and said, "Okay, I know, step down." ”

The soldier wanted to say something, swallowed again, bowed his head and exited Guo Da's room.

Guo Da sat in a trance, as if he was thinking about something, for a long time, until a cool breeze blew outside the window, making people shiver, he took off his shirt and lay down on the bed again.

I don't know how long it took, when the moonlight shifted and illuminated the head of the bed, Guo Da kept his eyes open and hadn't fallen asleep.

The next day, in the palace, Meng Qi called for breakfast, and after reaching the upper limit of the system of 100 satiety in one go, he was in a good mood.

Because with these 100 points, he can upgrade the system to level 3.

Since then, Meng Qi's daily satiety has reached an upper limit of 300 points.

He called Wei Zhong and said, "In the future, such a meal will be prepared three times a day, morning, noon and evening, do you know?" ”

The corners of Wei Zhong's mouth twitched, and he nodded yes, he couldn't help but take a look at Meng Qi's stomach, and at this time, Meng Qi's stomach was normal, no different from before eating, which made Wei Zhong even more strange, where did so much rice go?

And after that, Meng Qi has to eat three meals a day, which is just... Wei Zhong didn't dare to think about it again.

Zoro smiled, "Your Majesty really has a good appetite. ”

Meng Qi said strangely: "In this way, my daily meal in the future will be nearly two hundred people, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the granary will be emptied." ”

Wei Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the granary can still hold out for a while, and I suggest that Your Majesty increase the taxes of farmers and enrich the granary." ”

Meng Qi shook his head and said: "The peasants of Pingtian Country are already very poor, and if they collect more of their grain, I am afraid that many people will be unable to make ends meet and be displaced. ”

Wei Zhong said abruptly: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to all the people, and he is really a virtuous king. ”

Meng Qi said: "Haven't we collected a lot of silver recently? If the granary is in short supply, we should buy grain from the peasants, and we must not treat the peasants badly. ”

"Remember, keep the granary full, and at any point, a big war will break out." Meng Qi's eyes became deep, looking into the distance, as if he had seen something that others could not see.

"Yes." Wei Zhong took the order.

"Call Qin Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and I want to tell her something." Meng Qi saw that there was still some time before the previous dynasty, and looked at Wei Zhongdao.

"Little dare to ask, is it a business or a private matter?" Wei Zhongdao.

"! Business, of course. Meng Qi gave Wei Zhong a blank look.

"Yes." Wei Zhong was ordered to go down and lead people to summon Qin Zhi.

At the same time, at Guo's house, Guo Da also got up early in the morning, and after he finished washing, he ate some breakfast casually, and then went to Zhao's house with his entourage.

At this time, the Zhao family was in a mess, Zhao Qian, the head of the Zhao family, was still locked up in prison, and the Zhao family was panicked, and the news came from nowhere, Zhao Qian may have committed the crime of punishing the nine clans, and many people have begun to pack up their things and run away.

And Zhao Qian's spouse Ding has been sick, lying in bed, lamenting and sighing all day long, and the family affairs are handed over to the eldest son Zhao Yun and the housekeeper Lao Zheng.

When Guo arrived at the Zhao Mansion to visit, the Zhao family was eating, and there was pickled vegetable porridge sparsely placed on the huge table, I don't know if it was deliberately light, or the Zhao family's finances had problems, or the Zhao family had a big incident, and meat was avoided.

Guo Da declined to have breakfast together, and he sat in the living room waiting for the Zhao family's son.

Not long after, Zhao Yun and the housekeeper Lao Zheng came out together.

Zhao Yun beckoned: "Hurry up and serve tea to Lord Guo." ”

Guo Dadao: "You don't need to serve tea, I came today to discuss important matters." ”

Zhao Yun's eyes rolled, and he looked at the lower person: "You all go out, and you are not allowed to come in without my order." ”

"Yes." The servants all went out of the house.

Zhao Yun sat down and said, "I don't know why Lord Guo came over this time?" ”

Guo Da wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes glanced at the housekeeper Lao Zheng, signaling that what he was going to say next should not be heard by the housekeeper.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Lord Guo, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, my housekeeper has served our Zhao family for nearly thirty years, and he has always been loyal. ”

Guo Dawei said: "It's not a matter of loyalty, but what I'm going to say next, it's a big deal, and the fewer people who know, the better." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yun put away his smile, looked at the housekeeper and said, "You go down first." ”

"Yes, the old slave is retired." The housekeeper squinted at Guo Da and also walked out of the room.

After the housekeeper left, Zhao Yun said, "Lord Guo can talk about it now." ”

Guo Da then said: "I'm here to talk about the joint confrontation against the imperial court. ”

Zhao Yun smiled: "I thought it was something, a few days ago, Lord Sun Qingchun just came to the house, and that's what he said, and I agreed to him." ”

Guo Da nodded and said, "I know about this, but what I said is not only about raising troops. ”

Zhao Yun wondered: "Then what else?" ”

Guo Da got up and left his seat, walked to Zhao Yun's side, lowered his voice, and whispered for a while.

Hearing Guo Da's words, Zhao Yun's face changed greatly, he stood up from the bench on the spot, and said in a lost voice: "You want to..."

Guo Da hurriedly made a silent action, for fear that Zhao Yun's shout would be heard by someone else.
