The next day, Ji Qingchen was practicing boxing in the courtyard, and saw Wei Huang hurriedly walking into the courtyard, he didn't make a sound when he saw Ji Qingchen boxing, but stood aside and waited quietly, and waited until Ji Qingchen finished a set of punches before bowing forward to say hello.

"Brother Wei, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Wei Huang was looking for himself early in the morning, with two attendants by his side, Ji Qingchen asked.

"I'm leaving Caozhou in the afternoon, and before coming to Caozhou this time, my father asked me to bring a gift to His Royal Highness, and asked His Highness to accept it with a smile." Wei Huang said, the two entourages beside him immediately held the two boxes in front of Ji Qingchen, looking at the cautious appearance of the two entourages, it seemed that the contents of the boxes were very precious.

"Let's go to the study and talk!" Ji Qingchen nodded and said, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the towel handed to him with a cigarette, and walked straight to the study. Wei Huang agreed, followed quickly, the two came to the study and sat down, Mingyan served tea and then left very interestingly, and the two entourages around Wei Huang put the box on Ji Qingchen's bookcase, and also exited the study with great interest.

"What is this?" Ji Qingchen didn't open the box, but asked with an inquiring gaze.

"The crown princess had asked His Royal Highness for one thing before, saying that she wanted the head of Tuobani, but I didn't expect that it was less than half a month, and His Royal Highness sent the head to King's Landing, and the princess was very happy, saying that she wanted to thank His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness was the prince, and he was crowned the king of Northern Liao, and there was naturally no shortage of gold and silver, and our Wei family had no treasures, so we could only send a few beads." Wei Huang said very easily, but by looking at his expression, he could guess that he was giving this big gift, which made him very reluctant in his heart. This made Ji Qingchen very curious, he gently opened the box, only to see the dazzling light shooting towards him, making it difficult for him to open his eyes, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he adapted to the dazzling light, and found that there were eight egg-sized night pearls in the box, each exuding dazzling light, which was definitely a priceless treasure. Rao is Ji Qingchen had already been mentally prepared, and felt that the gift given to him by the Wei family would not be too much, but seeing such a big eight night pearls, he was also a little distracted for a moment.

"This is-" Ji Qingchen continued to open the second box, and found that this box did not shock him as much as the first box, but the dozens of diamonds the size of his thumb in it were still dazzling, which made him equally amazed.

"Brother Wei, this gift is too heavy, and this Wang Ping can't afford it!" Ji Qingchen said.

This time he was not contrived, but humble from the heart.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he had only done the crown princess a small favor and killed Tuobani, Wei would never give him such a big gift. And now the reason why Wei is willing to offer such a big gift is not only to thank himself by borrowing the hand of the crown princess, but also to please himself. After all, he has now confirmed the position of the governor of Northern Liaozhou, and the Wei clan of Shangzhou will be active under his nose in the future.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a little bit of the heart of my father and the crown princess, and I ask Your Highness not to shirk, otherwise Wei Huang will not be able to explain when he goes back." Wei Huang said in a stiff tone. Because one Night Pearl is already priceless, not to mention giving away eight Night Pearls in one go, which is half of Wei's collection of Night Pearls for hundreds of years! There is also this box of diamonds, whether it is color or size, if it is enough to be proud of the existence in the market on the market, the value of this box of diamonds is not less than ten million taels of silver. Even if the Wei family has a big business, but to give such a big gift in one go, even Wei Huang can't bear it, and he is very unwilling!

"Yes! Since it was the crown princess and Wei Lao who gave the king their hearts, the king accepted it with great gratitude, but you gave such a big gift to the king, the king can't help but do something, Brother Wei, I don't know if your Wei family needs the king's help, just ask, as long as you can do it within the scope of the king's authority, the king will definitely do his best. Ji Qingchen said very seriously. He really likes these night pearls very much, and thinks that if he puts two of them in the study at night, the effect must be very good. And today, when the army is marching and fighting, you can put a bead in the camp tent, so you don't have to worry about the lighting problem.

"This-it's nothing, it's just that Wei's business is in the maritime business, and the Shangzhou sailor has been in charge of the escort of merchant ships before-" Wei Huang's expression was a little unnatural, because if he wanted to say this problem, it would be equivalent to confirming the charge of blatant bribery to Ji Qingchen.

"I see!" Ji Qingchen suddenly understood, because of the reconstruction of the Dadu Governor's Mansion this time, the Shangzhou Naval Division naturally had to be under the jurisdiction of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the reason why the maritime trade of the Shangzhou Wei clan was so developed was that this sailor controlled in the hands of his own family's children escorted the escort along the way, so that he was not attacked by pirates and ensured the financial route for decades or even hundreds of years. Now that he has taken up the post of Metropolitan Governor, his control over military power will be very strict, and the Shangzhou Naval Division will bear the brunt. Wei is bribing himself, and he wants to use this treasure in front of him to buy the control of the Shangzhou Sailor!

Hearing Ji Qingchen's clear demeanor, Wei Huang was shocked again, isn't it enough? With Ji Qingchen's experience of forcing him to pay money last night, he was really afraid that the young king of Northern Liao in front of him would say the same as last night, "You Wei are rich!" "That's the case.

"The Night Pearl is a good thing, and the King of Diamonds likes it too." Ji Qingchen sighed and said, "However, this king can't be the master of this matter alone, and I have to ask my father to show the emperor, but Brother Wei, please rest assured, this king will try his best to persuade his father and let him leave the Shangzhou sailor in the hands of your Wei clan." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wei Huang said happily, as long as Ji Qingchen can agree to his request, his mission to Caozhou this time is half completed, and the other half depends on his own creation.

"Huh! It should be, it should be! Ji Qingchen said, and naturally closed the lid of the box. Wei Huang understood what Ji Qingchen meant, so he didn't bother him anymore, but said goodbye and left.

"Smoke." Waiting for Wei Huang to leave, Ji Qingchen shouted outside the study.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Mingyan walked into the study and asked.

"Put away these two boxes, and hand them over to Zhang Rang temporarily next time." Ji Qingchen said, "By the way, the box has a night pearl, and the candles should be lit up in the room at night, so take one yourself!" ”

"Your Highness, don't smoke it." Mingyan exclaimed.

This is a pearl of the night, a priceless treasure, and it is truly priceless! Just give it to yourself?

"Let you take it, you will take it, how can you take back what this king has sent?" Ji Qingchen pretended to be very angry, but he was frightened and said, "Thank you, Your Highness—"

In fact, Mingyan has already been moved! Carefully holding the two boxes out of the study, I couldn't help crying.

"This girl?" Ji Qingchen quietly looked at Mingyan's twitching shoulders as he left, and said a little puzzled, "Isn't it just a bead?" Can you be moved like this? ”

In the afternoon, Wei Huang left Caozhou City, and there were only Wei Ran and Fang Datong, Xu Zizhang and a few other people in the send-off team, and there was no figure of Ji Qingchen, Wei Huang knocked on the side and asked Xu Zizhang about Ji Qingchen's whereabouts, and the answer was that the chief manager got the news that the grain and grass had been sent to the Caozhou territory, and this time he personally led the Xiao cavalry battalion to leave Caozhou City to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, Wei Huang just naturally agreed, but he was surprised by something, and he was overjoyed, because Ji Qingchen was out of the city, which means that his other half of the task will also be completedNow it's up to you to see what the results look like.

However, Wei Huang left his niece Wei Ran in Caozhou City, on the grounds that due to limited strength, the grain, grass and silver money that Wei sent to Caozhou could not be delivered at one time, and it could only be completed in two installments, so Wei Ran stayed in Caozhou City to do a good job of negotiations.

After a few words of greeting with Dayan, Wei Huang left Caozhou City in a happy mood.

At the same time, leaving with him were Ji Qingchen and the Eight Hundred Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Four Hundred White Cavalry Battalion, and of course, there were two tiger generals Xu Dachun and Meng Li. With Cheng Qianfan dispatching troops in the city, and Fang Wanqi assisting from the side, he believed that Cheng Qianfan was enough to deal with the Beirong cavalry outside the city. And personally taking Meng Li and Xu Dachun with him is to save the idea of training the two of them to his own henchmen.

It's just that Wei Huang left from the south gate, and Ji Qingchen chose to go through the west gate, so that the two didn't touch it.

……

Outside the city of Caozhou, the big tent of the Chinese army in the Beirong camp. Meng Buge asked in disbelief, "What?" You said that Ji Qingchen went out of Caozhou City? ”

Haksu nodded slightly. He got the news through a special channel, but he believed it was true.

"Just for hundreds of thousands of stone of rice and flour? Is he willing to take the risk? Meng Buge didn't believe that Ji Qingchen would be so disregarding his own safety, and risked his life for this little bit of food and silver, when he fought with Ji Qingchen, he clearly understood that Ji Qingchen was a person who cherished his life, and when he fought him, he made himself invincible everywhere and then waited for the opportunity to fight back, how could he think such a person would risk his life for a few bags of rice?

"This King of Northern Liao naturally doesn't take risks for a few bags of rice" Ha Kesu smiled faintly, "Brother Eleven, although Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, is young, but from Li Qingyi, the god of the army who left the country, Li Qingyi, the true inheritance of the art of war, he did this time in order to lure the snake out of the hole, to get us out of his ambush circle, and then want to ambush us like the last ambush with the red flag and the red flag." ”

"Well, I thought so too, so what do we do now? Is it a calculation? Or do you stand still? Montbugo asked Haksu.

"Naturally, the plan will be calculated." Haksu said firmly, "This time, we will give him a praying mantis to catch cicadas first, and then play him a game of yellow finches, so that he can also taste the taste of being surrounded and annihilated." ”

Seeing that Meng Buge was waiting for his next words, Haksu continued, "Didn't Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, want us to get into his ambush trap? Then why didn't Brother Eleven send a cavalry to rob the grain and follow his wishes? And we led the army, closely following this cavalry, and when they entered Ji Qingchen's ambush circle, let Ji Qingchen think that his plan had succeeded, and ordered to besiege this cavalry, we led the army to kill again, and killed him by surprise, and then I didn't believe that I couldn't capture him alive. ”

"Wonderful-this method of the twelfth brother is really wonderful!" Meng Buge said, but he frowned again, "I don't know which banner this cavalry should be sent as bait?" ”

"If you send the blue flag and the red flag, the red flag and the white flag, I'm afraid Ji Qingchen will not believe it, because the losses of these four flags are too big when fighting the Yan army, let the yellow flag be the bait, the eleventh brother and I will lead the white flag and the red flag, 60,000 horses are enough to deal with Ji Qingchen." Haksu said, "Besides, we also have to guard against whether Ji Qingchen wants to lead us out of the camp and then attack our camp, and we must leave enough soldiers and horses in the camp just in case." ”

"Well, let's do it!" Meng Buge said loudly, and ordered the commanders and deputy commanders of each banner to be summoned, and gave orders to everyone.

As soon as the order was issued, the war horses in the Beirong camp neighed for a long time, and then it quieted down!

But at this time, there was no one in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Because the commanders of the Beirong army, Meng Buge and Hakesu, had already led the 60,000 troops of Zhengbai Banner and Zhenghong Banner quietly out of the camp and disappeared into the vast field.
