Chapter 128: Into the Battle

Businessmen, running around, have no fixed place. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing," Cheng replied.

"Then don't disturb the nobles to rest, and invite the nobles to come here tomorrow to get food. Chengqi didn't ask any more, handed out an address and said.

Waiting for Cheng Lianjin to turn around and leave, Chengqi took the IOU from the young man beside him, glanced at it, and slowly tore it to shreds.

The young man shouted, "Brother-in-law, this is an IOU of 150,000 stones." This person is Chengqi's brother-in-law Dou Chuan, after Qin Muyao left, he used the ten acres of fertile land and a little silver taels, plus a shrewd mind to quickly accumulate wealth, and finally married a well-connected wife under Zhang Luo, who was a big lady.

Chengqi glared at Dou Chuan and said, "You don't even know who the person who is coming, you dare to keep the IOU? Since it is the prince of Chaorui who wants to use food, what more IOU do you need? I won't show up tomorrow." When you take them to get food, you must remember to tell the other party that if you have it, you will return it, and if you don't, forget it. “

"Brother-in-law, did you mean that that person is the king of Chaorui, in that case, brother-in-law won't be able to pass tomorrow?" Dou Chuan asked in surprise.

"In his opinion, I am just a merchant who does not know his identity, which is why he dares to take my grain. Tomorrow you must not be too obvious, just treat him as an ordinary businessman. I've been following me for a few years, and I'm going to grow a little bit.,Now I've sold a favor to King Rui.,There will be a big reward in the future.。 Chengqi said.

"Yes, brother-in-law. Although Dou Chuan had doubts, he still did what he had to say, and after hearing Dou Chuan's words, Cheng Lianjin didn't say much, just said that he had heard it.

With the help of Chengqi, the military rations of 200,000 stones were quickly gathered, and in the past few days when Cheng Lianjin was collecting food, Luo Bingwen suddenly launched a fierce attack on Qi Lianxiang's army. Each of the 80,000 soldiers was engaged in the battle, and if the 200,000 stone rations did not arrive in time, the soldiers would probably set off another mutiny.

"Yu'er, you must pay attention to this war and the matter of letting you escort military rations. Where could there be such a coincidence, you have just brought the water-soaked grain on your front foot, and the opposite side launched a fierce attack, I have been here for more than half a year, and this is the first time that the opposite side has launched such a large-scale attack. Qi Lianxiang said in the tent that Qi Lianxiang didn't pay attention to the attack from Luo Bingwen at all, he was still very sure on the battlefield, but the timing of this attack made him worried.

"Well, when I first arrived in Yicheng, I received a secret letter from Nanyang City, and the warehouse in charge of military rations has already admitted that he was greedy for money and exchanged moldy grain for good grain without permission, and he also found out the mastermind behind it. But because I was not in the palace, Cangtou took the sin again, and did not involve King Gong, the main envoy behind it. Cheng Lianjin said calmly.

"In this way, it seems that King Gong has secretly communicated with Luo Bingwen of Zhou Huanguo, one is attacking on the front line, and the other is using military rations to disrupt our rear camp. It's just that what is the stake between them, how could Luo Bingwen help him like this. Is it because his concubine is a concubine of Prince Gong's Mansion?" Qi Lianxiang asked suspiciously.

"It's definitely not the case, the details behind it still need to be investigated in detail after I go back, and the 200,000 stone military rations are also in place today." There will be no more worries for the time being. I'll leave for home tomorrow!" Cheng Lianjin said.

As soon as the words fell, a shrill voice sounded outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived! His Royal Highness King Rui has received the decree!"

It turned out that after this rain, there was a flood in the Yuanjiang River not far from Yicheng, which washed away the ferry and embankment of the Yuanjiang River.

Cheng Lianjin took the holy decree and glanced up at Qi Lianxiang: "It seems that I can't go back recently, my uncle must guard this border first!"

"Didn't I tell you not to come?" Seeing her like this, Cheng Lianjin felt distressed again.

"If it's good, I'll definitely have fun in the house. Isn't this a special case?" Qin Muyao raised her eyes and said.

"I've already collected the grain, and your silver ticket is just useful to pay off other people's accounts. Cheng Lianjin picked up the silver ticket and said, "Speaking of which, it's also a coincidence, the person who borrowed my food is your old acquaintance." “

"Huh?" Qin Muyao was stunned for a moment, although this place was said to be Yicheng, she also knew that this was just a place where she and Cheng Lianjin wandered, and there were no familiar people to rely on.

"Instrument. It was he who found out that I was collecting grain, and in order to provide 150,000 stone of food, I was able to get through this crisis. Cheng Lianjin crooked the corners of his mouth and said, "He seems to have used the good land and silver we left him to do a big business." “

"Oh?!Big Brother Cheng?!" Qin Muyao shouted with some surprise, "I didn't expect that a move back then would have such a gain." “

"What, you want to meet your old acquaintance?" Cheng Lianjin said with some displeasure.

"Nope. Since you're safe and sound here, I've been worried about the situation here all the way, so if you can send him the silver ticket tomorrow, you can go back. Looking at Cheng Lianjin's appearance, Qin Muyao smiled and said.

"It seems that we still see each other, so let's let Wuying send it tomorrow. “

"Poof, what do you think, how do you say that Aunt Cheng also took me in for a long time. Brother Cheng also took care of me like an older brother. Qin Muyao said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Qin Muyao followed Wuying to Chengfu, looking at the magnificent mansion door, Qin Muyao secretly sighed in her heart. Cheng Qi and Aunt Cheng knew that Qin Muyao was coming, so they waited at the door early in the morning.

"Xiao Yu, I didn't expect to see you again. Aunt Cheng grabbed Qin Muyao's hand and said, life has been good these years. Aunt Cheng has also been thinking about Qin Muyao.

"Aunt Cheng. As soon as she opened her mouth, Qin Muyao's tears were about to flow, although Aunt Cheng in front of her said that she was older and her hair was grayer, she was still as kind.

"Xiao Yu, this is my insider. The instrument on the side introduced. A decent woman stood beside Cheng Qi and smiled at Qin Muyao.

"Hello sister-in-law, Brother Cheng borrowed some money from my husband a few days ago, and I came here to pay it back today. Qin Muyao took out the silver ticket and said.

"Why is it so polite, and I made a special trip to bring it. Everyone is in business, and there are times when turnover is not working. Chengqi took the silver ticket and said.

After a period of greetings, Qin Muyao left the family and walked with Cheng Lianjin to the area where the flood occurred in the Yuanjiang River.

On the carriage, Qin Muyao said with some disappointment: "It seems that this time is really unforgiving, Brother Cheng feels that he has changed a lot." “

"How can you say that it's because he married a wife?" Cheng Lianjin said with some puffiness.

"Tsk, no, it's not good, I feel it, I feel that he is very different from the past now, by the way, did you tell him your identity?" Qin Muyao asked.

"No, just tell him that I'm a businessman, and I'm afraid of chaos. Cheng Lianjin hugged Qin Muyao and said, "It's okay if you leave like this, don't you want to go to Baima Pass to have a look?"

"That's good, so as not to give birth to right and wrong. Then Qin Muyao shook her head and said, "Now that the two countries are at war, I will definitely not be able to cross the border if it is so tense, besides, what can I do if I go, can he collect troops because of me, or will he recognize me as a daughter?"

"Alright, alright. I won't mention it next time. Seeing Qin Muyao bow her head in frustration, Cheng Lianjin was comforted.

When Cheng Lianjin arrived at the emergency granary near the Yuanjiang River with the holy decree as a messenger, it was a busy mess. In order to prevent disasters from time to time in various places, the imperial court would generally set up emergency warehouses in various places, and when the harvest was good, they would stock up on some grain for emergencies, and the emergency warehouses here were in danger because the ferry port was washed out.

Li Zisheng, who was in charge of transporting grain, walked into the big tent with a tired face after knowing that Cheng Lianjin was coming, because Li Zisheng, who was in charge of repairing the ferry on the spot, was covered in mud, and his official uniform could no longer see the original color.

After seeing Cheng Lianjin, Li Zisheng hurriedly kowtowed. said in a loud voice: "Why did the prince come here in person, it was all unfavorable for the officials, and he only repaired a little in the past few days, so please punish the prince." “

Cheng Lianjin saw that his eyes were bloodshot and said, "Don't worry." The king also knew that this time the ferry and the river embankment were washed away, and the flood was too great to move. “

Li Zisheng heard that he stood up and complained to Cheng Lianjin: "This is really a disaster, the ferry should have been repaired a long time ago, and the embankment of the Yuda River has also been washed down several zhang in the past few days, Jiangdong Taishou Zhou Xi and Yuanzhou Thorn Shi Zheng Shihai have been transferred to three thousand laborers to repair, but there is no two or three months of hard work, I am afraid that I can't repair it, and the lower officials are really anxious." “

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, Cheng Lianjin looked outside and frowned and said, "It looks like it's going to rain again." Grain is more expensive than anything else, if the grain in the emergency warehouse is flooded, once there is a disaster, it will definitely be more troublesome here, the ferry will not be repaired for a while and a half, now it is better to quickly transfer these grains to Liangfeng Cang, which is twenty miles away. “

Li Zisheng raised his head and listened to the thunder, and hurriedly responded: "Xiaguan will arrange it!" After a while, the rain of beans fell from the sky, and when the rain was a little lighter, Li Zisheng arranged for the soldiers to rush to transport grain, and the first batch of grain had just been transported out to ten miles of land, when a grain truck was tripped by a stone, and the whole vehicle was frightened and the grain was overturned to the ground, and the road was blocked.

Li Zisheng hurriedly stepped forward and moved the grain bags to the side with the soldiers, and as soon as he made a way, Li Zisheng hurriedly arranged the grain transportation team behind him.

"Your Highness, there are still 200,000 stone of grain still in the emergency warehouse, the lower official is really, eh?" Li Zisheng, who had arranged everything, came to Cheng Lianjin and said anxiously.

Qin Muyao on the side opened his mouth and said: "Quick, throw the grain on the grain cart to the breach! The grain will swell when it encounters water, and it will definitely not be washed away by the water, and it will definitely be able to block the opening! Throw 10,000 stones into it first!"

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Qin Muyao together, only then did they realize that the thin attendant beside King Rui was actually a woman.

Li Zisheng said: "No, this is the grain of the imperial court, if you lose a stone, you will be held responsible, and if you throw this ten thousand stones, you will definitely be killed!"

"Then you want to be drowned now? If you don't give up this 10,000 stone of grain, thousands of our lives, including the 200,000 stone grain behind you, will be washed away! Everything is a trade-off, if you don't give up a son, how can you want to live with a full plate!" Qin Muyao shouted loudly.

Cheng Lianjin looked at the woman beside him in a daze, the woman who had been accompanying him, looked at this woman whose eyes were full of anxiety and wisdom, turned his face to Li Zisheng and Zhou Xi and said: "Immediately let everyone transport grain to the breach! If anyone asks, say that it was ordered by this king!"
