"It's also that we don't have enough manpower, otherwise, how can we let the Zhizhou Mansion get out of control under our noses?" Xiao Qian slapped the table, "I didn't expect him to be like this, and the grass on the wall still fell with the wind, and now that the wind has not risen, he will withdraw first." ”

"It's also careless." King Xiao sat on the top seat, rubbing his palms, quite a headache.

Before the father and son could think of any good way to solve the matter of the Zhizhou Mansion, they heard that the valley where they were training troops was discovered by the new emperor.

The secret guard who came to report looked panicked, and said something serious: "We picked up the Janissary Guard's waist card at the training ground, and I don't know who got in. ”

"Sneak in?" Xiao Qian was originally leaning sideways to face the secret guard kneeling below, but after hearing this, he raised his head and asked through gritted teeth, "You mean, there are people from the Praetorian Guard in the army?" ”

"Quite possibly." The secret guard was sweating profusely by Xiao Qian's eyes, after all, he was also looking around in the army as the eyes of the master, why didn't he find such a serious matter?

King Xiao was already worried about the lost silver taels, and learned that Xiao Qian had not been able to find out the whereabouts of the remaining silver taels from Jiang Yueyue's mouth.

"In other words, our affairs have always been watched by the emperor, and we haven't left a trace behind?"

"No, after all, there are some important things that we will not give to the army. There are only a few people who know. ”

Xiao Qian suddenly thought of Su Fulai, who was related to Jiang Fu, and remembered what Yan Xing had said about Su Jingchen before, and muttered in his heart again.

"What if the Praetorian Guards are mixed in with the Guards?" Xiao Qian suddenly came up with such an idea.

"Then it's complicated." King Xiao also thought of Su Jingchen for a moment, after all, he was a person who had a relationship with Qingyang Bo and Jiang Fu, so he had to guard against it.

But Sufu, as a big family that grasps the wealth of Zhuozhou, has always been filial to King Xiao's good things.

If it is said that the number of times is not much, it is just that, but now most of the financial resources of this army are from Su Fu. That's intriguing.

What King Xiao didn't expect was that Old Man Su was a person who was very good at doing business, and he also had a spectrum in his heart.

On the surface, Su Fu bribed Jiang Zhizhou and got shops and connections, Jiang Zhizhou got the silver and handed it over to Xiao Wangfu, but then the money spent by Xiao Wangfu was earned by Su Fu.

In fact, inside and outside, the Su Mansion did not lose much silver taels, and in fact, most of them were instructed by the emperor, and the treasury would fill it in for him.

Behind the scenes, he also coordinates the business of the "imperial merchants", and as soon as this name is hit, he will not worry about having nowhere to get money.

Even Ning Xiang's own rouge shop, ready-to-wear shop, pastry shop, and restaurant inn are more or less linked to Su Mansion, and there is no lack of Su Jingchen's help.

However, King Xiao can't figure out this joint, as a "gentleman", he naturally has to stay away from the shopping mall, otherwise in the current situation, it is inevitable that some people will complain about his rule.

And although Xiao Qian has more or less come into contact with the general affairs of Xiao Wangfu, he is actually not proficient in this way. It can only be said that you will not be deceived by the people below.

Su Jingchen's matter, the father and son thought about it, and they could only put it aside with a half-believing attitude.

The matter of the Praetorian Guard's waist card in the army was temporarily pressed, and only waited for the secret guard to investigate it carefully to know where the existence of the spy was.

However, it was also because of this incident that Xiao Qian realized that he had not been in the army for a long time.

But in this rectification, the father and son discovered a great impropriety.

- The cave where the weapons were hidden was emptied before I knew it.

Only then did King Xiao realize that the little thing he had been calculating with Madame Jiang in the Zhizhou Mansion had given him a head start.

"What an emperor child, he actually made a trick of secretly Chen Cang under the nose of this king."

King Xiao was sure that these weapons were transported out of the mountain by the emperor and returned to the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't expect that it was actually the person who protected the country to get the new blade, and they were practicing as steadily as Mount Tai and thunderously.

The rabbit will bite people when he is in a hurry, and King Xiao finally gritted his teeth and made an unexpected decision.

"Qian'er, you go and leave Jiang Yueyue."

"What do you mean by that, Father?"

Xiao Qian agreed with King Xiao at the beginning that he would take the same route as King Xiao and be a qualified husband, so that the new young women and young ladies could eat here.

But if this marriage is just concluded and divorced, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, not to mention that Jiang Yueyue lost her mother, and now she is extremely pitiful in the rumors.

King Xiao thought about it, it was really not appropriate, so there was only one other way.

"Otherwise, you will demote her to a concubine, and your father will marry you a good wife."

"Where did the good wife come from?" Xiao Gan's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of expectation, "Could it be that which official in the capital has figured it out?" ”

"It's not an official in the capital." King Xiao looked at his son with some guilt, and now he was really helpless, "It's the sixth princess." ”

"Marry the sixth princess?!" Xiao Qian's eyes widened, and he looked at King Xiao very puzzled, "We don't want to replace him, why do we want to marry a woman from the royal family?" ”

"You don't know, the horse has no real power, and I can't pull the princess into the water, if I fail, I can still save your life."

Xiao Wang thought a little negatively, feeling that he had never worked so hard.

Xiao Qian didn't expect King Xiao to make such a plan, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Not to mention that everyone in the capital knows that the sixth princess is close to the Protector's Mansion, not to mention my identity, can the emperor let her marry me?" Joke. ”

"Son, you don't know, these six princesses have a very bad temper, if it is an ordinary man, she really can't subdue her." King Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you can subdue her, maybe it will help us a little." ”

"How can it help?" Xiao Qian said disdainfully, "Saving your life is not what heroes want. ”

"The sixth princess has soft ears, maybe she can bring us other help."

"Like the treasury?" Xiao Qian's eyes lit up in an instant, as if he had heard something terrible, "If that's the case, then it's still worth a gamble." ”

"Why don't you just take a gamble." A sly sly smile appeared on King Xiao's face, as if the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

"But what about Jiang Yueyue's side? With her temperament, she will definitely make trouble. Xiao Qian was a little worried that Jiang Yueyue would not get along with the princess, so he was extremely worried.

"She has a concubine, without the support of the governor's government, and being able to eat and dress every day is already a creation." King Xiao took Xiao Gan's shoulders and said, "Father has understood one thing in his life, women, those are useless things, let's stop when we use them, but we must not be like the village husband, who regards marrying a daughter-in-law as a first-class event in life." Man, the ambition is not here. ”

"I understand what my father said." Xiao Qian nodded indifferently, he had always been educated a lot by King Xiao, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with King Xiao's words, but accepted it very calmly.

But before King Xiao could find the sixth princess, this bold girl had already slipped out of the palace and came to Zhuozhou.

She talked to the emperor and learned that her sweetheart was secretly doing things for the emperor in Zhuozhou, where could she still sit still?

A dignified princess actually had a big quarrel with the emperor, and she took her honor and drove out of the palace and went straight to Zhuozhou.

Originally, Ouyang Shaoqian's identity was extremely secretive, and even his face was changed every few days, and no one could see the clue everywhere he went.

However, King Xiao listened to the fact that the six princesses were parading out of the palace, and keenly noticed that something was wrong, and was sure that Ouyang Shaoqian was in Zhuozhou City, so he began a careful investigation.

And Ouyang Shaoqian, who learned all this, was in a dilemma.

"Xiang'er, I have something I want to tell you."

Ouyang Shaoqian stood outside Ning Xiang's door with a humble heart, because the two were not married, although they had already passed the paperwork in the official mansion, they still lived in a separate room at Ning Xiang's request.

Although Ouyang Shaoqian felt unhappy, he didn't dare to refute it, so he acted according to Ning Xiang's wishes.

Since Ning Xiang left the Jiang Mansion, he had a lot of time to deal with the affairs of his own shops in the capital, and by the way, he could also help Ouyang Shaoqian collect news, and he was very busy every day.

Hearing Ouyang Shaoqian's weak voice pleading with him outside, Ning Xiang put down the brush in his hand with a "snap", got up and walked to the door, and opened the door with a brush.

"You mean your childhood sweetheart is coming to be a guest, right?"

Ning Xiang looked at Ouyang Shaoqian with a smile, which made his heart tighten.

"No, that, what's for dinner?" Ouyang Shaoqian hurriedly changed the topic, for fear that Ning Xiang would continue to ask.

Ke Ningxiang seemed to see through him, and then asked, "Your fiancée is here, do I have to wait for me?" ”

"Say what?" Ouyang Shaoqian was really a little angry at this time, "Why do you want to serve?" ”

"Hmph, the girl has never wronged herself, Ouyang Gongzi will look at it."

Miao Aya poked her head out from behind Ning Xiang, grimaced at Ouyang Shaoqian, and polished Ning Xiang again.

Since Ning Xiang came here, Miao Aya has to come with her to serve, and she has clearly divided the relationship with Ah Yan.

Ah Yan is Ouyang Shaoqian's person, and Miao Aya can only be Ning Xiang's person.

The behavior of this little couple was like children, which made Ning Xiang very embarrassed, but it didn't take a while to get used to it.

"Don't you know what I'm thinking?" Ouyang Shaoqian's momentum weakened instantly, and he and Ning Xiang were startled when they were angry, which showed that he cherished his little wife very much.

Ning Xiang looked at Ouyang Shaoqian and explained weakly, it seemed that he was really in a bad mood, and then he became serious: "Alas, it's me who is wrong, I didn't know that you would take it seriously." ”

"What?" Ouyang Shaoqian looked up at Ning Xiang, and the gloom in his eyes was lit up again.

"I have set up an ambush along the road, which should be enough for you to hold out until King Xiao raises troops and the sixth princess is recalled."

"What ambush?" Ouyang Shaoqian was confused by what Ning Xiang said.

"I put up layers of obstacles along the way for the people in the capital. Next, the princess will face some things that are not big or small, but very annoying. Ning Xiang paused and smiled evilly, "For example... The wheels fell, the horses that pulled the carriages died, the roof of the carriages was scratched by branches, and the attendants were sick..."

Ouyang Shaoqian heard this, and laughed: "You still have a way, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of these tricks." ”

"What do you call these tricks?" Ning Xiang shook her head a little helplessly, "I'm also thinking about the people." ”

I heard that the princess would take whatever she liked on the street, and told people to go to the palace and ask for money.

In broad daylight, at the foot of the capital, what did the princess say, where did these merchants dare to really go to the palace to ask for money? Therefore, before the six princesses left the capital, their reputation had already spread for ten miles and eight miles.

"The sixth princess has always been like this, she has to get what she likes immediately, and she can't wait for a moment." Ouyang Shaoqian knew her quite well, so he said this.

Ah Yan also poked his head out from the roof, glanced at his daughter-in-law with concern, and then answered: "Except for the son." ”

"Yes, after all, we are also a country and a city, aren't we?" Xu was jealous, Ning Xiang suddenly became bad, and hooked Ouyang Shaoqian's chin with her fingers, causing Ouyang Shaoqian's whole body to feel like he was on fire.

When he saw this, he immediately shrank back and continued to be his quail.

And Ouyang Shaoqian had already remembered that Ah Yan had made up for himself with this knife, and was ready to settle accounts after the autumn.

Ning Xiang thought of the things under her hand, and decided not to worry about Ouyang Shaoqian for the time being, and was about to blast people away in a hurry: "I have already solved the matter for you, so don't ask me again, go and get busy with you." ”

The little girl said, pushing the man out.

The door sounded crisply behind him, but it was locked, Ouyang Shaoqian and Ah Yan, who poked his head out again in curiosity, glanced at each other, and then both of them were confused.

"What are we going to do?" Ouyang Shaoqian asked.

"I also forgot, master, let's go to Uncle Zhong." Ah Yan also replied with a sigh of disgust.

Then the master and servant went to Uncle Zhong with their shoulders on their backs.

Xin Yulan was sewing and mending Uncle Zhong's clothes at the moment, and Uncle Zhong was watching from the sidelines.

Seeing Ouyang Shaoqian coming from a distance with Ah Yan, he got up to greet him, but who knew that the two of them saw Xin Yulan present, and they turned their heads and wanted to leave.

Uncle Zhong hurriedly followed two steps and chased after him. One by one, he lifted the two of them.

"What?"

"Ah, it's nothing, just let's go." Ah Yan is most afraid of Uncle Zhong, so when Uncle Zhong asks, he can always answer very quickly.

Uncle Zhong looked at the two suspiciously, and found that the eyes of the two seemed to be dodging, so he understood what was going on.

"It's something that the Sixth Duke is going to come over, right?" Uncle Zhong nodded Ah Yan's head, but he spoke to Ouyang Shaoqian.

Ouyang Shaoqian's words choked on his lips, and he squeezed out a sentence with great difficulty.

"My daughter-in-law helped me get it, so what should I do now?"

"What to do?" Uncle Zhong frowned, "Isn't it good to solve it?" ”

"Okay, but my daughter-in-law doesn't get angry with me, doesn't she care about me?"
