Lin Yingxue personally went to the city tower to risk her life to boost morale, and as soon as the Qin family came out, Lin Yingxue could be regarded as a celebrity in the northwest.

Now everyone knows that the Queen of the Northwest is a woman who is decisive in killing and thundering, and for a while, Lin Yingxue's name is even louder than Murong Jun's.

“…… It's just that the queen killed the eldest lady of Qin like this, will the Qin family hate the queen this time, and even more refuse to donate. ”

Li Ye stood in the room with a frown. The Qin family is the richest merchant family in the northwest, and if the Qin family refuses to support it, they may receive half less of the donation.

Li Ye thought about it and only felt a headache, so he couldn't help but make a decision: "If it really doesn't work, it's better for your subordinates to bully people and take a team of people to Qin's house for a walk, and if you think about it, the Qin family is not so ignorant of current affairs......"

"Not necessarily." However, after Lin Yingxue listened to Li Ye's words, the corners of her lips hooked up a shallow smile.

Li Ye turned his head to look at Lin Yingxue suspiciously, only to see Lin Yingxue's face calm, it was like a calm pool, even if the breeze blew, there was not a trace of ripples.

"What? Could the queen have a better way? Li Ye always thought that he was a smart person, but since he met Lin Yingxue, he was shocked to realize that in addition to the strategy of marching and fighting, he was not as good as Lin Yingxue at all.

For example, now, he couldn't guess Lin Yingxue's thoughts at all.

And Lin Yingxue seemed to want to hang Li Ye's appetite, she didn't open her mouth to explain, just waited quietly for something.

Fortunately, Li Ye is not as reckless as Sun Dahu, and he is always calm.

The two of them sat quietly in the room for a long time before the sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Here we are." Lin Yingxue put down the teacup in her hand and looked up.

I saw Miaoqin hurriedly walking in from the house with her skirt, her little face was red from the cold, but her face was filled with an uncontrollable happy smile.

Lin Yingxue knew that something good was coming when she saw it.

Sure enough, after Miaoqin came in, before Lin Yingxue could ask, she was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and hurriedly said: "Miss, everyone has already sent the excess food and medicinal materials at home, and the slave and maid sent someone to count it, this is the list and quantity." ”

As Miaoqin spoke, she took out a fold from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue took it and looked at it silently, while Miaoqin helped on the side and said: "The Qin family who donated the most this time is the Qin family, followed by the Li family......

"The Qin family?" Li Ye was slightly surprised when he heard this, "The queen obviously stabbed the eldest lady of the Qin family to death with a sword, why is the Qin family still so generous?" ”

"This Li Junshi doesn't know anything." Lin Yingxue handed the fold back to Miaoqin and said with a smile: "Before the eldest lady of the Qin family came over first, I had already sent someone to investigate the details of the Qin family. ”

"When Master Qin was young, he relied on Qin Li's maiden family to make his fortune, so even if the business is so big now, Master Qin is a head shorter in front of Mrs. Qin after all, and Mrs. Qin is also relying on this to be arbitrary and arrogant in the Qin family."

"So much so that Master Qin is nearly forty years old, and there is only one concubine by his side, and he doesn't even have a child under his knees. Therefore, there has been a quarrel between Master Qin and Mrs. Qin for a long time, and even if I don't do it this time, I am afraid that Master Qin will not be able to endure it. ”

Yes, Lin Yingxue took Qin Li's knife that day, although she slapped the Qin family in the face on the surface, but in fact, she helped Master Qin solve a big problem.

Master Qin was too late to thank Lin Yingxue for this, so how could he hold a grudge against her?

"The queen is really smart, and Li Ye is ashamed of herself." Li Ye sighed from the bottom of his heart.

His admiration for Lin Yingxue now is far greater than that of Murong Jun.

"Master Li is too modest. If it is this little strategy, Yingxue makes it, but if it is about marching and fighting, arranging troops, Yingxue is absolutely inferior to the military division. Lin Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled, and there was no trace of self-satisfaction on her face.

"The queen is modest...... "Li Ye praised Lin Yingxue a few words more 'earnestly', then frowned again and said: "By the way, even if we get these donations from everyone right now, at most, it can only let us last a little longer." ”

"Yuzhou City has more soldiers and horses than us, and the grain and grass are also more than ours, and we are not their opponents in a protracted war, but if we really go out to fight with them, with our troops, I am afraid the chances of winning are not very good......" Li Ye frowned tightly, looking worried.

When Lin Yingxue heard this, the little smile that finally appeared on her face couldn't help but fade slowly.

After a while, she seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she said with some excitement: "By the way, there is a Xiaoyao Gang in the Fallen City not far from Hanshan, and the leader of the Xiaoyao Gang is called Zhang Yi." ”

"He has a very close relationship with the king, and he also has connections in the rivers and lakes, you send someone to find him with this token, and then explain our difficulties, and he will definitely help us raise grain and grass at that time."

"Hanshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we don't take the initiative to fight, as soon as this grain and grass are in place, we can go down with the Yuzhou army, and see how long the Yuzhou army can spend with us!"

The more Lin Yingxue spoke, the more excited she became, and the corners of her lips couldn't stop laughing.

After Li Ye listened to Lin Yingxue's words, his originally gloomy expression suddenly regained his brilliance, "Okay, if the person the queen said is really reliable, then we can basically pass this difficulty!" ”

"Zhang Yi, this person I have been in contact with, he should be a reliable person, you should arrange things quickly, so that even if something happens, we can think of countermeasures to deal with it."

Lin Yingxue said as she took off the jade pendant she was carrying, put it in the palm of her hand and rubbed it carefully for a while.

"Here, this is a token representing the king's identity, so that people can keep it well, and don't lose it." After Lin Yingxue frowned and finished explaining, she reluctantly handed over the jade pendant to Li Ye's hands.

Li Ye touched the jade pendant, even if he didn't look at the color of the jade pendant, just looking at Lin Yingxue's appearance, he also knew that this jade pendant was of great significance to Lin Yingxue.

So he couldn't help but give up his hand and solemnly responded: "Yes, the queen can rest assured, and her subordinates must order her subordinates to take care of it." ”

Looking at the back of Li Ye hurriedly going down to arrange things, Lin Yingxue's body relaxed, and a breath of turbid air came out of her chest - if the matter of grain and grass was resolved, she should be able to breathe a sigh of relief and wait for Ah Jun to come back, right?

She was really tired these days, and Lin Yingxue didn't even eat lunch and went to bed to rest.

It wasn't until the evening that Lin Yingxue was carefully woken up by Miaoqin.

"Miss, you've slept all afternoon, get up and eat something and go to sleep." As if afraid of scaring Lin Yingxue, Miaoqin said softly.

Lin Yingxue eased her nerves, and while letting Miaoqin help her put on her shoes and get out of bed, she said absentmindedly: "Say, what's going on again." ”

Otherwise, with Miaoqin's temperament, she must feel sorry for her and is reluctant to wake her up, which will wake her up, and there must be something else besides eating.

"Miss knows everything...... Miaoqin pursed her lips when she heard this, and then said helplessly: "The slave maid still wants to wait for Miss to finish dinner before telling Miss." ”

Miaoqin said as she took out an envelope from her bosom, "This letter was sent by someone from the Imperial City, and the person who came to deliver the letter handed it to Miaoshu and left." The slave didn't know what was written in the letter, for fear that it would be a big deal, and the young lady would be worried about not being able to eat after a while, so she wanted the young lady to read it after dinner. ”

"News from the Imperial City?" Lin Yingxue asked as she frowned and opened the envelope.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Yingxue's good-looking eyebrows were almost twisted into a Sichuan character in the center of her eyebrows.

"Miss......" Miaoqin didn't dare to inquire about the content of the letter, so she could only look at Lin Yingxue with a worried face.

I saw Lin Yingxue silent for a while, and finally as if she had made up her mind, she turned her head to Miaoqin and ordered: "You go to the other courtyard to invite Brother Feng here, just say that I have something important to say to Brother Feng." ”

"Yes." Miaoqin estimated that her young lady couldn't take care of the meal for a while, so she could only sigh in her heart, and then went down quickly to run errands.

Soon after Miaoqin went down, she returned with Murong Feng.

"Yingxue." After this period of careful recuperation, Murong Feng's complexion looks much better, at least now Lin Yingxue looks at the person in front of him and no longer worries about the person in front of him being blown down by the wind.

"What did you come to me to consult with me?" Murong Feng stood in the room with one hand behind his back, although his expression was slightly anxious, he still looked like a handsome boy.

Lin Yingxue looked at Murong Feng and hesitated for a moment before handing the letter in her hand to Murong Feng, "What is the specific matter, Brother Feng will know at a glance." ”

Murong Feng took the envelope with doubts, and before he could finish reading it, his expression had changed greatly, "The queen mother is seriously ill......"

Murong Feng muttered to himself, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, a good letter turned into a crumpled ball.

Lin Yingxue looked at Murong Feng's appearance, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "The body of the first queen's daughter, the days of the cold palace can be imagined, even if there is Mengru mediating in it......"

The life of the first queen will not be much better, and it is already the ability of the first queen to survive until now.

This time, Fang Mengru also spread the news even though she knew that Murong Feng had not easily escaped, which showed that the situation of the first queen must have reached a level that was not optimistic.

"I'm going to leave for the Imperial City to visit my mother." Murong Feng couldn't help but say, turned around and was about to go out.

"Brother Feng, please wait!" Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly stopped in front of Murong Feng, "Yingxue knows that Brother Feng is worried about the body of the first queen, and she also knows that Brother Feng will definitely go back to visit the first queen after knowing the news." ”

"But Yingxue still revealed the news to Brother Feng, which means that Yingxue has no intention of preventing Brother Feng from returning to the city!" Lin Yingxue said as she laboriously pulled Murong Feng to sit down, "I will arrange someone to escort Brother Feng back, but Brother Feng needs to promise Yingxue two things." ”

"You say." Seeing Yingxue talking so bitterly, Murong Feng's emotions finally calmed down a little.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "These two things, one is that Brother Feng needs to take good care of his body along the way, and the other is that if Brother Feng arrives in the imperial city, don't be impulsive, and listen to my people and Mengru's arrangements for everything." ”

"If Brother Feng agrees, I will immediately arrange for someone to send Brother Feng out of the city."
