Chapter 118: Planning a Counteroffensive
"General, as you expected, the crown prince was grounded by the emperor!" After Ling Yu got the news, he immediately told Ye Qi, who seemed to have known the news for a long time, and didn't have much emotion.
"The crown prince is grounded, and in front of the emperor, there will be less trust! It's just that the position of the prince is still there, as long as Shangguan is still the prince, then Feng Ming's future prince is still him! Ye Qi said slowly.
Ling Yu echoed and smiled: "Why is the general afraid of this prince, the prince is so stubborn, even if he sits on the throne, this country will not last long!" ”
Ye Qi showed a grim smile, "Right now, the most important thing for us is to overthrow the crown prince......"
"Now most of the ministers in the court are biased towards the eldest prince Shangguan Yi, I am afraid that if the prince falls, the emperor will appoint the eldest prince as the prince!" Ling Yu cautiously watched the change in Ye Qi's face and asked tentatively.
Ye Qi helped his forehead, "This is also my biggest headache, Shangguan Yi is not like Shangguan Su, he knows how to envelop the courtiers, and he is extremely meticulous!" ”
……
"Xiaoli, come here and take a look, the rouge in Lizhou is so beautiful! Look at the color, the texture! Ai Li held a small bottle of rouge in her hand and said to Shen Zili.
Shen Zili's gaze turned from another row of shelves, glanced at the rouge in Ai Li's hand, and nodded: "Mmmm, this color is really good-looking!" Unexpectedly, once the drought in Lizhou passed, these industries in Lizhou also rose! ”
Elle picked out a few good rouges, and asked the store to wrap them, and when she was about to pay, a beating voice sounded: "This man is ugly, even if he smears more rouge, it will be useless!" I said don't buy it, it's a waste of money, you might as well invite me to the restaurant opposite for a few drinks! ”
"Do you want to go? Ai Li asked with a smile, Mu Xianyu smiled and nodded: "You agreed?" Absolutely! Elle immediately changed her face and said, "Then just think about it!" ”
Shen Zili saw that the two were about to start a male and female battle again, so she hurriedly picked out a few rouges, walked to the counter, and asked Xiao Er to pack them up by the way, "Ellie, we don't care about him, he's jealous that you look better than him, man, there's still jealousy!" ”
The shopkeeper prepared all the packaged rouge for Mu Xianyu to carry, but Shen Zili snatched it and whispered to the shopkeeper: "This boy said, he will pay later!" His eyes swept to Mu Xianyu's body, and the shopkeeper immediately understood the meaning of Shen Zili's words!
Immediately afterwards, Shen Zili pulled Ai Li and ran out of the door, leaving Mu Xianyu alone in the store: "Hey! What are you running? The money hasn't been paid yet! ”
Mu Xianyu was about to catch up, but the shopkeeper blocked his way, and said with a smile: "Childe, please stay, the young lady just said that you will pay, a total of fifty-three taels!" ”
"Fifty-three taels, you might as well grab it!" As soon as these words came out, Mu Xianyu quickly suffered the contempt of the shopkeeper, and Mu Xianyu hurriedly waved his hand to flatter: "Oh, I didn't say not to give it!" That is, can it be cheaper, thirty taels? ”
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Xianyu in embarrassment, took down a box of rouge from a row of shelves, and said, "Look at the texture of this rouge, it is all made of good materials!" Our store has been open in Lizhou for decades, so we can't lie to you! ”
Mu Xianyu took out fifty-three taels from the money bag on his waist, and reluctantly handed it to the shopkeeper's hand, and the shopkeeper saw that the silver of the white flower flower had arrived, and smiled even more happily: "Haole, the son is really generous, welcome to the shop next time!" I'll be ready for a better rouge waiting for you! ”
Mu Xianyu smiled awkwardly, and he really had another thought in his heart, I won't come next time you invite me, my silver!
Out of the rouge shop, Mu Xianyu saw Shen Zili and Ai Li watching him snickering not far away?! With a long leg, he walked in front of Shen Zili and the others: "Okay, you guys, you took the rouge from other people's stores and ran away, and I spent fifty-three taels of silver!" ”
"Man! Spend some money for women, this is as it should be, the fifty-three taels you spent just now will be regarded as the mental loss fee for you scolding Ellie! Shen Zili patted Mu Xianyu on the shoulder and said seriously.
Shen Zili looked like you deserved it: "Who asked you to come with us, and it actually came out, just spend some silver to show your manly demeanor!" ”
Mu Xianyu twitched the corner of his mouth, "You think I want to come out with me!" If it weren't for the fact that the sixth child was afraid that the two of you would be captured by Ye Qi's people again, he would force me to follow and protect you! ”
After that, Shen Zili didn't wait for Mu Xianyu's reply, and pulled Ai Li and ran to the wonton shop. Mu Xianyu sighed and kept up with Shen Zili's pace again!
"Seeing that you just protected our hard work, I will reluctantly invite you to eat a bowl of wontons!" Shen Zili said generously, with a wave of her hand, she sat on the stool very chicly, and said to the shopkeeper next to her: "Little Er, give me three bowls of wontons, thank you!" ”
Xiao Er smiled with a smile on his face, "Huh! "I went to the kitchen to let me know!
"Just a bowl of wontons, you will be worth my fifty-three taels, no, I still lose!"
"So what do you want? Forget it, you can order it casually, I'll treat you, the fifty-three taels, you go back and ask Mu Yanze for it! Although Shen Zili said this, she had already made her own little calculation in her heart!
Mu Xianyu nodded with satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper, "Little Er, you can give me one more wonton!" ”
Soon, four bowls of wontons were served......
After Shen Zili and Ai Li finished eating, they saw that there were still a few wontons left in Mu Xianyu's bowl, and the two glanced at each other tacitly, stood up, and were about to run to the door of the store? !
"Ran again! Didn't you say you had a treat?! ”
"Yes, I did say that I had a treat, but you pay, hahaha!" Shen Zili's response was faintly heard outside the wonton shop. Mu Xianyu's face turned red with anger, and there is still this kind of operation?
……
Inside the study
"Huh? Second brother, didn't you accompany Xiaoli and Ai Li to the street market in Lizhou? Why did you come back so soon? Come back, come and take a look at the mountains here......" Mu Yanze turned his gaze to Mu Xianyu, who had just entered the door, and then talked endlessly about the plan to counterattack Feng Ming.
Mu Xianyu didn't seem to hear Mu Yanze's plan, so he changed the topic: "I will never go out shopping with your daughter-in-law in the future, it's too bad!" Sixth, your daughter-in-law's bills, clothes, rouge, jewelry...... You have to pay! I went out with her for two hours just now, and she cost me two hundred and twenty taels of silver! ”
Mu Xianyu folded his hands and counted the things Shen Zili had bought this time, ready to settle accounts with Mu Yanze. Mu Yanze ignored him, shook his head helplessly, and continued to study the map of Lizhou Mountain on the desktop.
"Are you listening to me?! Your daughter-in-law spent me two hundred and twenty taels, and I will not want those twenty taels for the sake of our brothers for so many years, and there are two hundred taels, bring them quickly! Mu Xianyu stretched out his hand and ticked it in front of Mu Yanze.
Mu Yanze raised his head and looked harmless to humans and animals: "Didn't the second brother say just now, we are brothers, so the two hundred taels are still free!" ”
"My brother still has to settle accounts!"
"Otherwise, on the day you get married, I'll prepare a gift of five hundred taels for you, how about it?"
The first reaction, Mu Xianyu felt as if he had earned it, but then he thought about it: "What do you mean?" If I don't get married, you don't plan to pay it back? ”
"That's literally, so ah, this time when you go back to Cloud City, you might as well quickly agree to Miss Qin's marriage! In this way, you can easily get five hundred taels! ”
"Don't bluff me here!"
"Then I won't pay it back!" Mu Yanze said trickly, Mu Xianyu raised his head arrogantly: "I knew that you would not pay back the money, I better finish this battle quickly and go back to Cloud City to find my father and receive the reward!" ”
"Wouldn't it be right to do this earlier! You look at the mountains here, the twists and turns are steep, people who are not familiar with this mountain will definitely get lost, if Ye Qi is led here, Fengming's army will be disrupted without a leader, and we will take the opportunity to attack again! Mu Yanze pointed to the various mountains on the mountain map with a wooden stick and said endlessly.
Mu Xianyu found a chair and sat down, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Although this method is feasible, how can you lead Ye Qi to this mountain?" ”
"I have a way now, but it's a pity!" Mu Yanze sat down on the chair beside him. Mu Xianyu raised his eyebrows: "Can you stop halfway through your speech!" What is the method? Tell me about it! ”
"Burn Fengming's military rations!" Mu Yanze said very seriously. Mu Xianyu took a breath: "Oh! So ruthless! But what does burning the military rations have to do with luring Ye Qi to this mountainous area? ”
"This also requires your cooperation, second brother, after burning down the Fengming military camp, Ye Qi will definitely look for the arsonist, if the arson is you, he will definitely not send his own men to chase him, you just need to lead him to this mountain!"
"Oh no, I thought it was a big deal! This is simple, so do you set it on fire? Or let Duanmu Shadow Owl go? Mu Xianyu said suspiciously, Mu Yanze smiled slyly: "The main general is gone, the Fengming military camp is in chaos, and Duanmu Shadow Owl and I will lead the troops to attack!" ”
Mu Xianyu patted Mu Yanze's chest: "It's okay, I have learned the essence of Ye Qi, and I know how to use these insidious tricks, it's a pity that those grains, if all the military grains are burned, those Fengming soldiers will be about to live the life of the hungry people in the south!" ”
"This won't happen, we just need to burn thirty percent of their military rations, Feng Ming has been preparing for attacking us for so long, if they can't even get this bit of military rations, then they will also fight with us with a half-lose-half-win mentality!"
Mu Xianyu nodded thoughtfully, "Do you remember Ye Qi's subordinate Ling Yu?" I heard Poison Dome say that this Ling Yu seems to have quite high martial arts, you should be careful! ”
