It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, and the changes on the island have not annihilated the enthusiasm of Yang Zhi and Linglong to create people, and they fought several times in one night, until they were exhausted before they hugged each other and fell asleep.

If nothing happens, Yang Zhi's daily life is very regular, from the habit of scoundrel bed. Meimei woke up and curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten. The stupid man full of tenderness looked at her for a long time before tiptoeing up gently.

In the early morning of the island in mid-autumn, there is already a hint of chill in the gentle sea breeze, the sky is blue and the sea is wide, the coconut groves are swaying, and the scenery is magnificent and charming. Yang Zhi's clothes are fluttering, just like an outstanding scholar, strolling leisurely. When they met the soldiers and servants on duty, they all took the initiative to smile and greet. With yesterday's bloody massacres on the beach and the sea still in front of us, who would have thought that this handsome, suave young man would be the one who gave the order?

Before I knew it, I had walked to the stone house where the prince of Beiyan was imprisoned. Yang Zhi was comfortable and refreshed, and the poor prince of Beiyan had a bruised and swollen face like a pig's head, and he had hardly closed his eyes all night because of fear, anxiety and pain. Yesterday he was still a proud prince of a country, but today he has become an embarrassed prisoner. Words such as feathers and broken wings are not enough to describe the tragic situation at this time, and it is simply that all the feathers all over the body have been plucked. His most urgent wish now is to be able to leave this hellish place as soon as possible! The farther away the better!

When he was sometimes feeling sorry for himself, sometimes gritting his teeth, he vaguely heard from the respectful salute of the soldiers outside the house, this early in the morning, his brother-in-law ......, no, that hateful evil god is here again!

Yesterday, I pulled my face down from the top of my head to my heels. deliberately flattered and begged for mercy, but was slapped several times. More and more beaten up. As the so-called heroes do not suffer immediate losses, the safest way is to do it. can only talk as little as possible, trying to pretend to be pitiful.

When Yang Zhi entered the door, the prince of Beiyan sat in the corner of the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing was even, and there seemed to be occasional slight snoring.

Yang Zhi's order of "good life to settle down and take care of", the soldiers on duty implemented it very well. A separate tidy room, a brand new futon, a woody bookcase, and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. There are even several books such as the Analects and the Book of Songs. In addition to the slightly exaggerated appearance of the prince of Beiyan who was hit hard by external forces, he changed into a new thin silk robe, and his hair was combed in a neat bun. On the small round table on the side is breakfast, followed by fragrant millet porridge, still steaming, fried slightly yellow veal patties, two or three delicate side dishes with full color and fragrance. Where is this detention? It is not inferior to the five-star leisure hotels in the previous life! …… It's just that there is no personal freedom.

The reason why Yang Zhi thought that this product was pretending to be asleep was only because he was sold by the millet porridge paste hanging on the corner of his mouth. Coughed lightly and laughed: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried and injured a lot." Come! Go and get the military doctor on the island. Prescribe a few more refreshing medicines for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

The soldier on duty saw Yang Zhi's playful smile on his face, even if he didn't have any eyes, he knew that this Hou Ye was teasing the unlucky prince to have fun, and he still stood by the side. Just laughed silently.

Facts have proved that the arrival of Yang Zhi himself is very refreshing. You're going to have to take medicine! The prince of Beiyan even omitted the coping process of pretending to be confused, and got up in a hurry. He said with a hundred times more energy: "Brother-in-law, you are early!" ”

"Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sleep well last night? Wake up pretty quickly! Yang Zhi smiled with concern: "After all, this is a small desert island. It is not comparable to the Great Yan Palace. How? Breakfast not to your taste? ”

Even though Yang Zhi seemed to be as careless as a family, Prince Beiyan still didn't dare to be careless. Carefully replied: "Brother-in-law is polite!" The younger brother is only eager to return to the country and has a poor appetite, so there is no big problem. Thank you brother-in-law for your concern! ”

Yang Zhi sighed in a voice: "All kinds of things used on the island need to be purchased and transported from land. Taking the moisture-proof of grain and the preservation of meat as an example, it can be said that tofu has become the price of meat. Having a bad appetite? It's a shame to waste it! ”

Pointing to the nose of the soldier on duty standing on the side, he feigned anger and said, "How do you all serve the prince?" What a punishment! Punish me for giving me all the prince's breakfast! ”

As Yang Zhi said, even in Changdao and other places that have begun to resettle, reclaim and fish, they will not be able to support themselves until next year at the earliest. All the supplies for the rest of the offshore islands relied on land procurement. Although the ordinary soldiers and sergeants stationed on the islands have decent food on weekdays, they can only ensure that they are full. If you want to make a tooth sacrifice, you can only wait until the New Year's festival or a happy event.

Yang Zhi's quite affordable "punishment order" almost made the soldiers on duty smile happily on the spot. One of the two people in the room is the feared Hou Ye, and the other is the Hou Ye's brother-in-law, so naturally they don't dare to sit down. Just standing at an astonishing speed, sweeping away the hearty breakfast on the small round table. After that, he also gave an order with a full burp and behaved: "Lord Hou, the villain has already received your punishment." ”

"I can't choke you!" Yang Zhi smiled and slapped the guard on the head: "Get out!" ”

The prince of Beiyan was dumbfounded, and he couldn't wait to smash his chest: what kind of wealth is pretending? What kind of text? Who told you that you have a bad appetite? Prince Ben just took a sip of porridge!

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "The prince just said that he is eager to return to the country, but in fact, my sister and I are more anxious than you!" Everything on the desert island is simple, and the food is not to taste, which is really wronged His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

suddenly changed into a worried face and said: "I'm anxious, you're anxious, your sister is also anxious, and your father is even more anxious." Everyone is in a hurry! The only way to do this is for you to send a letter to your father, asking him to pay a ransom to ransom you back as soon as possible. If you starve because of the lack of money and food on the island, how will you let me explain to your father and sister? ”

Yang Zhi's meaning is very clear, if you don't write a blackmail letter by yourself today, then don't think about having food! The prince of Beiyan couldn't wait to pounce on him and fight with Yang Zhi to the end. But in a flash of thought, after all, it is not that I don't dare.

At this time, even a pig in the Prince of Beiyan had already realized that Yang Zhi had no intention of killing him. No matter what he does, Yang Zhi will not be satisfied, even if he is playing with you, he will be hungry for a few meals or light, so what? Could it be that you are going to bite him? Listen to the meaning of this myth, everything is fake, and silver is real.

After settling down, he asked with the psychology of breaking the jar and falling: "Yang Zhi, the matter has come to this, how can you let me go?" Let's make a real price! ”

It's a human being, and it's a bit bloody. If the prince of Beiyan just blindly begged for mercy, either pretending to be stupid or really stupid, it would only cause Yang Zhi to make two extreme decisions: really stupid and pitiful, pretending to be stupid and terrible. Or just let him go. Or just kill him!

Now that he got to the point, Yang Zhi's face instantly turned cold: "Didn't your sister tell you yesterday?" ”

The prince of Beiyan said dejectedly: "It is said that the sky is asking for a price, and the money will be repaid on the spot." Fifteen million taels! Do you think my Dayan can afford your asking price? Dayan seems to have a vast territory, mostly deep mountains and dense forests, and the arable land is very limited. The extreme north is a land of bitter cold, and the south is under the pressure of the Great Xia army. To the west, face the Turks, and to the east, you must guard against the Turks. The state revenue is not much, and the military expenditure is huge. Yang Zhi, you are also a capable minister in Great Xia, do you think my life in Dayan is better? If it's better, why should I be scheming and crossing the ocean to seek my sister's territory? ”

Yang Zhi could hear that nine out of ten of the words of the Prince of Beiyan were sincere. You can't just because your family is in trouble, you come to fight my family's unjust idea. At this moment, it is never the time to express sympathy and family affection, and said coldly: "Everything must be done according to your ability." Isn't stealing chickens a handful of rice a thing? If you do it, you will do it, and if you succeed, you will definitely reap the benefits, but if you fail, you must pay the price. If you don't even have this mental preparation, why are you going to take my territory? Is it just a matter of blood? ”

The words have been said to the contrary, but the prince of Beiyan calmed down: "I admit it." That's why I said I want you to make a real price. ”

"The net price is 10 million taels. That's my bottom line, and I can't do anything less. Yang Zhi said undoubtedly: "The silver ticket is not accepted, and the current silver is not accepted." The equivalent gold converted into cash silver shall not be less than 5 million taels, and the rest can be replaced by treasures and antiques, and the valuation is subject to the transaction price of Jinling last year. What do you think? It's not hard for your father and son, is it? ”

Yang Zhi casually said that the conditions can be called professional. The equivalent of gold converted into 5 million taels of cash is less than 70,000 taels, which is convenient for raising and transporting. The valuation of antique treasures has never been fixed, and it is fair to take the transaction price of Jinling last year as the standard.

The prince of Beiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!" I now send a letter to my father. …… But before the ransom is paid, you must not humiliate me for no reason! ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "Someone! Prepare a new breakfast for the prince! Oh, by the way, you can't leave out fragrant tea and wine! ”

Out of the stone house where the prince of Beiyan was detained, but Li Xu actually ran into Jiang Chengbi head-on.

It's not so much that it is head-on, but that Jiang Chengbi made a special trip to wait for Yang Zhi here: "I would like to ask Hou Ye how he is doing!" Master Hou, came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so early? ”

Yang Zhi did what he said, and yesterday he ordered the withdrawal of troops and the release of people, and after that, no one interfered with the freedom of movement of Jiang Chengbi and the other six people on the island, you can do whatever you like. If it weren't for the fact that they were a little bit of a thief, they felt that many soldiers and servants on the island looked at them a little strangely, and there was nothing else wrong. Invisible isolation is more disturbing than blatant scolding.

"yes!" What Yang Zhi didn't like the most was Jiang Chengbi's virtue of claiming to be a hero who supported Linglong, relying on the old and selling the old, and secretly sneered in his heart, but his footsteps were non-stop: "Speaking of which, everyone is a relative!" I also made soup for Linglong on the stove at home, and I have to go home to watch the fire, so I don't have to accompany me! ”

Soup? Watching the fire? …… When did the county lord's residence have a kitchen? I just heard about you picking people to send the Yamen, the governor of the Great Xia Customs, as an official, and I haven't had time to ask yet! (To be continued......)
