"How many days?"

Mu Bai was surprised again, and the originally warm and jade-like voice sounded a little distorted.

"How many days are too many? Tomorrow? ”

Chu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Mu Bai's positive attitude.

……

Mu Bai didn't know what to say at all, he was silent for a while before replying weakly: "Three days later." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was shocked by Chu Yunshen's robber-like quick negotiation technique, and then looked at Mu Bai, who could only compromise obediently, no matter how she looked at it, she felt a little pitiful.

Isn't Mu Bai just bitter and can't say it?

He deliberately emphasized that he had never heard of this medicine, which meant that he wanted Chu Yunshen to give him more time.

He thought that he had made this clear enough, but he didn't expect Chu Yunshen to come up and put the time limit on him to a few days.

If he hadn't made a compromise in a hurry, according to Chu Yunshen's methods, I am afraid that he would have really developed this pill tomorrow.

However, being able to concoct a new drug still sounds a little exciting.

"By the way, then she's a demon cat, a demon, or something?"

Mu Bai's seriousness really couldn't be maintained for a while, and his original form was revealed so quickly.

Hearing the word 'demon' from Mu Bai's mouth again, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was on fire, really couldn't help it, she had to get out of Chu Yunshen's arms no matter what.

She wants to see if this Mu Bai is also a cat, because she has too many lives, she is impatient to live, so she will challenge her bottom line again and again.

Chu Yunshen didn't dare to imprison the lion cat too hard, after all, he had a lot of strength, and it wouldn't be cost-effective if he really hurt the lion cat.

Knowing that Chu Yunshen didn't have any real strength, Cheng Xiaoxiao's movements became more and more unbridled, she thought about it, if she really didn't work, she would simply become a human.

Heads can be broken, blood can be shed, but dignity cannot be lost!

You can say that I look average, or you can say that I have a bad impression, but you can't attack me personally!

I'm a fairy, don't fairies understand?!

What do you say about 'demon cats' and 'demon people', one bite at a time, it's just too much deception!

Probably because Cheng Xiaoxiao's desire to become a human was a little strong, Chu Yunshen keenly noticed that the lion cat was shrouded in a faint blue light.

"Lord, are you in there?"

As the male voice sounded, the blue light on the lion cat's body suddenly dimmed.

Mu Bai also saw the strangeness on the lion cat with his own eyes just now, and he opened his mouth wide again and stared at those peach blossom eyes without a sound.

"Lord, I'm in?"

Xiao Wu's voice came in from outside the half-covered courtyard gate again, and it was precisely because of Xiao Wu's voice that Mu Bai slowly found his voice.

"This ...... This, she just ...... Just? ”

"Shh

Chu Yunshen swept a stern look, Mu Bai didn't react much, just had the opportunity to close his mouth tightly and stop talking.

But looking at this, Xiao Wu doesn't seem to know about this yet?

Could it be that I was the first to know about it?

Even Xiao Wu, who followed the Lord in and out with him, didn't know it, it seems that I am acting properly, and the Lord is more at ease.

Mu Bai thought proudly in his heart, and by the way, he planned to laugh at Xiao Wu after Xiao Wu also knew.

"Come in."

Chu Yunshen's voice had already sounded in the small pavilion, along with the footsteps of Xiao Wu walking into the courtyard.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still glaring at Mu Bai angrily in Chu Yunshen's arms, and she was a little grateful for Xiao Wu's arrival.

If it weren't for Xiao Wu, she would have been afraid that she would have impulsively changed back into human form. But Xiao Wu doesn't know about her, anyway, she can hide it from one person.

Besides, although it is cool to tear X for a while, but the crematorium afterwards!

Where is the spiritual power so easy to absorb, last time I said that I wanted to use the pen on the blade.

It's all to blame for Mu Bai, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have almost lost his mind.

Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Mu Bai dissatisfied, and she didn't know how she did it, those big eyes didn't blink for a long time and didn't feel sour.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Xiao Wu felt the lion cat's hostility towards Mu Bai, and he walked up to Mu Bai and asked in a low voice.

"Why did you offend this little ancestor again?"

"You can't say it, you can't say it."

Mu Bai waved his hand mysteriously, and handed Xiao Wu a 'you are so pitiful' look by the way.

Xiao Wuyi looked at Mu Bai in confusion, trying to see a hint on Mu Bai's face.

Mu Bai naturally couldn't let Xiao Wu find out, he quickly turned his face sideways to avoid Xiao Wu's eyes, and then stretched his hand to signal Xiao Wu to hurry up and tell the matter.

Xiao Wu didn't delay any longer, and handed over the several account books in his arms to Chu Yunshen.

Chu Yunshen sat back at the table with the lion cat in his arms, put the lion cat on his lap, and picked up the account book handed over by Xiao Wu and flipped through it carefully.

Mu Bai also came over and picked up another book to check, but Chu Yunshen just glanced at him lightly, but didn't say anything.

"Isn't this the money and food ledger when you led the troops to the expedition before?"

Mu Bai picked up another one to check, but found that this was the account book of soldiers and horses reported before.

"Why do you look at these things so well?"

Mu Bai didn't know about Chu Jingxuan, so he would not be able to keep up with Chu Yunshen's footsteps than Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Chu Yunshen didn't answer Mu Bai's words, he roughly flipped through the account book in his hand and put it back on the table, then stretched out his hand in front of Mu Bai and shook it twice.

Mu Bai was waiting for Chu Yunshen's answer, and when he saw Chu Yunshen looking at the account book he was holding, he also looked back at Chu Yunshen, trying to see some clues from Chu Yunshen's face.

"Bring it."

Chu Yunshen opened his thin lips lightly, but what came out of his mouth were two words that had nothing to do with the current account book.

Mu Bai wanted to hold on a little longer, but when he saw Chu Yunshen's unconcerned expression, he finally handed over the account book in his hand.

When Chu Yunshen looked at this book of soldiers and horses, his thin lips were almost pursed into a straight line, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see what he was thinking for a while.

"What a bad guy, it's really good to steal the day with this hand."

Chu Yunshen turned back more and more solemnly, and finally threw the account book on the table and replaced it with a third one.

"Lord, in addition, the Ministry of War has also found some clues."

Xiao Wu took out the account book at the bottom and handed it over, and Chu Yunshen took it.

"Our people checked the account books of the military department and the household department over the years, and found that the number of recruits recorded by the military department about three years ago and the number of recruits who went to report were not at all consistent."

Xiao Wu walked to Chu Yunshen's side and pointed to the number in the account book he had made: "The same is true for the household department, the grain, grass and weapons reported are not the same, not to mention the money distributed to the army. ”

Chu Yun said lightly: "Have you gone to the place to verify?" ”

Do you still have to go to the place to verify?

I've all looked at the account books, and this matter seems to be a certainty.

Cheng Xiaoxiao squinted in Chu Yunshen's arms and thought worriedly, now it's okay, it seems that Chu Jingshuo does have a small move in private, no, how can this be said to be a small action, this is simply a big change.

"It's all verified, and they ran to several cities overnight, and the number of recruits and taxes reported by the local government are indeed different from those recorded in the account books."

Xiao Wu knew that Chu Yunshen had always acted cautiously, and this time the matter was even more serious. However, whether it was the previous investigation, or the account books of the Ministry of War's own households, or the records of local towns, all kinds of evidence directly showed that Chu Jingshuo was recruiting troops in private.

As for Chu Jingxuan's thoughts, it couldn't be more obvious now, and he didn't need to think much about it to see his ambitions and desires.

"What are you talking about, why is it still involved in the Ministry of War?"

Mu Bai asked again without giving up, and he could see the tension of the matter at hand, but he didn't know what it was.

It is precisely because of this that he always wants to ask for clarification. Otherwise, this curiosity scratches his liver, and he is so anxious that he can only stomp his feet on the side.

It took a long time before I heard Chu Yun say coldly: "In the years when we were in the frontier, there was a shortage of grain and grass, and cotton clothes could not keep out the cold. ”

As soon as Chu Yunshen said this, Mu Bai's memories came to his heart almost instantly.

Chu Yunshen took Mu Bai and Xiao Wu to guard the border for a few years, and it was really hard to live in the barracks.

The grain and grass sent down by the imperial court were never enough for the soldiers to eat, the horses used were all sick, and the military salaries allocated were even smaller.

There is also little armor and weapons, and the mass is particularly fragile.

As for the clothes, the summer is fine, and the cotton clothes in the winter can't resist the cold at all.

In the end, Xiao Wu couldn't help but open a cotton coat, only to find that there was only a thin layer of cotton in it, and the rest was filled straw.

It was such a difficult day, so hard that Chu Yunshen still led them to survive.

So every time Mu Bai recalled this paragraph, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he even secretly scolded the emperor more than once in private.

"You mean this matter has something to do with Chu Jingxuan?"

Mu Bai's face turned cold almost immediately, and his voice seemed to have ice ballast, where was there any comfort when he laughed with Chu Yunshen just now.

At that time, he felt that someone in the army had done something, but he always thought that the emperor deliberately suppressed Chu Yunshen, so he took their army to suffer together.

Looking at it this way, his thoughts at the time were simply naïve.

He is really stupid, the whole world belongs to the emperor, although the emperor has a lot of opinions about Chu Yunshen, but the emperor has always been a diligent and reasonable Ming Jun, and he is extremely concerned about the people of Li and the country, how can he ignore the life and death of the people in the world because of his own selfish feelings?

It is true that someone in the army is making trouble, but that person is not the emperor, but Chu Jingxuan.

The more Mu Bai thought about it, the more angry he became, he also picked up the account book on the table and looked at it roughly, and the more he turned back, the more ugly the look on his face became.

"This Chu Jingshuo is too bold, these things can be found out as long as they are checked casually."

Mu Bai was a little shocked by the clear and clear records in the account book.

"But no one would think to look it up."

Chu Yunshen sneered, but the chill that burst out of his eyes was terrifyingly cold.

"Put it away, and bring Granny Ogihua out."

Chu Yun said lightly, and took back the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
