Zhong Ling could bear it, but Shen Yichi couldn't help it.

Looking at the guard, he said coldly, "What? Didn't your saint tell you that a distinguished guest was coming these two days? ”

"Distinguished guests? I've never seen such a casual guest! The man scoffed, his eyes full of contempt.

In this case, there is no need to give him face, just brave it.

Shen Yichi held his sword to meet him, but in a few moves, he subdued the man, a set of swordsmanship, and the guards on the side were all shocked, Shen Yichi withdrew his sword and looked coldly at the person who was defeated by his sword.

"I wanted to treat each other politely, but even so, I don't have to give you face anymore, if your Xue Ling's guards have no vision like you, then your country will be ruined, and it will be just around the corner!"

Shen Yichi said, and the person next to him pulled up Zhong Ling and walked to the palace, swaggering all the way, but no one dared to stop him.

After the two of them walked out of the distance, the guards came to their senses and said tremblingly: "Old ...... Boss, just let them in? ”

"The guards obeyed the order and passed on my instructions, and now someone is making a big fuss outside the palace gate, rampant to the extreme, go back to the saint quickly, and after getting the holy decree, kill him!"

The soldier who was defeated by Shen Yichi roared angrily, and his subordinates took the order and ran to the palace in a hurry.

Zhong Ling looked at the side faces of the people around her, smiling slyly, worthy of being the person she fancies, as arrogant as her.

met a group of people in front of the palace, Zhong Ling saw that her father was also in the line, and opened his mouth in a daze, Zhong Father turned his head to look at her, and there were rare bruises at the moment, as if he hadn't slept well last night.

After seeing the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief and bent down at the eunuch who was leading the way in front of him: "I'm tired of my father-in-law running this trip, I have already found my master!" ”

The chamberlain moved his gaze to Zhong Ling, nodded lightly and said, "Since you have found it, then hurry up and meet the Holy Lord!" ”

The attendants dispersed one after another, and Father Zhong walked to Zhong Ling's side, the respect on his face dissipated in an instant, and he said angrily: "Yesterday, you didn't have a letter to be sure, and you waited all night for your father!" ”

I came and went in a hurry last night, but I forgot to report to her father, Zhong Ling smiled flatteringly, and stepped forward to hold Zhong's father's shoulder: "I was in a hurry yesterday, you see, my foot is sprained!" ”

Zhong Ling rolled up his trouser legs, revealing the bruised ankles, the anger on Zhong's father's face dissipated a little, snorted lightly, threw a bottle of wound medicine to Zhong Ling's hand, and walked forward without looking back.

Zhong Ling hid the wound medicine in his sleeve and hurriedly followed.

All the way to the palace, Zhong Ling looked at the magnificent dormitory in front of him, and exclaimed: "That old emperor is generous. ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and Zhong Ling realized that there were still four palace maids in the hall, which was really a big deal.

"Stand down!" Father Zhong coughed lightly.

The palace maid bowed and retreated, and before leaving, her eyes still fell on Father Zhong, and she wanted to refuse to leave, which was an indescribable weirdness.

Zhong Ling squinted at her father, and found that her father's face was flushed, and he was happy, it seemed that

Several palace maids were specially arranged by the old emperor, and I was afraid that something unexpected would happen last night.

"Dad, you're really a blessing!" Zhong Ling smiled lewdly.

"Shut up!" Father Zhong glared at her angrily and strode into the room.

Zhong Ling stood in place and dragged his chin, and said with a smile: "I have a wish to pee and find a continuation for my father." ”

"Aspiring!" Shen Yichi nodded: "I'm afraid that if you don't find the continuation, you will inevitably be beaten!" ”

Zhong Lingcancan touched his nose and walked in after Shen Yichi.

Father Zhong sat down at the rosewood table and glanced at Zhong Ling with a gloomy face.

"Yesterday, the old emperor put forward the conditions, and he opened his mouth to be 300,000 stone grain, if he can't get it together within three days, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of this imperial city!"

"I can't complain about such a big deal, it turns out that this is the idea!" Zhong Ling couldn't help but sneer.

"The Snow Spirit Kingdom has been weakening day by day in the past few days, and at most you can only invest 100,000 stones here." Shen Yichi said lightly.

"But he opened his mouth to 300,000, what should he do?" Zhong Ling turned his head to look at Shen Yichi.

Shen Yichi smiled meaningfully: "Then let's put on a show." ”

The knock on the door sounded just right.

"The big boss, the emperor has a will."

"Just in time!" Shen Yichi got up and opened the door.

There was a smiling waiter standing outside the door, nodding at the three of them and saying, "Three, the emperor is invited, and he is waiting in the imperial study!" ”

"Lead the way!" Shen Yichi flicked his sleeves, but his eyelids were not raised.

The chamberlain was stunned when he saw this, Xu had never seen such arrogance, and after a while, he laughed dryly twice, bent down and walked ahead.

The three of them followed the chamberlain to the imperial study, and the old emperor sat on top of the high hall, put down his pen when he heard the movement, and smiled very kindly at Father Zhong.

"Aiqing is here!"

"The grass people meet the emperor!" Zhong Ling knelt down with Father Zhong.

"Excuse me!" The old emperor waved his hand, and didn't seem to see Shen Yichi standing aside, and asked Zhong Ling with a kind face, "Who is this?" ”

"This is the young master of the grass people, and now she is in charge of the salt shop!" Father Zhong bowed his head and spoke.

The old emperor smiled even more: "The young man is brave, he deserves to be commended!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhong Ling bent down and saluted.

Only then did the old emperor turn his gaze to Shen Yichi, his face was gloomy, and the chamberlain behind him hurriedly stood up when he saw this, and said coldly: "Bold!" Seeing that the emperor didn't salute! ”

"Xia Ling Shen Yichi, meet the emperor!" Shen Yichi said lightly, but still did not move.

The old emperor's face changed suddenly, he hurriedly got up and stood up, pointed at Shen Yichi and said, "You...... You ......"

Shen Yichi took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and the word Chi was written on the jade pendant, and his identity was beyond doubt.

The old emperor came back to his senses, with a little respect on his face, and angrily reprimanded the inner servant: "What you can't see! ”

"The Emperor...... The emperor atoned for his sins! ”

The chamberlain knelt down tremblingly.

The old emperor kicked him and walked towards Shen Yichi: "How could His Highness come to Xue Ling today?" ”

Shen Yichi turned his head to look at Zhong Ling and said, "This is my old friend, and I came with her this time." ”

"Come, give me a seat!" The old emperor shouted, and after a while, an attendant brought a chair in.

Shen Yichi only glanced at it, then pushed the chair to Zhong Ling's side, the old emperor was stunned, and soon came back to his senses, and said with a dry smile: "What are you doing in a daze, don't move two chairs anymore!" ”

Zhong Ling sat down on the back of his chair and caught a glimpse of a two-line poem written by the old emperor himself on the table above.

Defeat the enemy and become unhonored, and the awe-inspiring woman is a general.

It's still Mulan, I think I want to use this poem to admonish her, asking her to obediently hand over 300,000 stone of grain.

Glancing at the old emperor standing in front of Shen Yichi, he couldn't help laughing, sure enough, he was still a fierce envoy, 300,000 stones, and he was not afraid of eating it.

The chamberlain quickly moved a stool in, Shen Yichi sat down opposite Zhong Ling, picked up the tea cup at hand, tasted it, and said lightly: "I am now being chased and killed by Xia Ling, and now I am in Xueling's news......"

"Your Highness, please rest assured, this news will be tight-lipped by the widow!" Without waiting for Shen Yichi to finish speaking, the old emperor hurriedly swore an oath.

Shen Yichi put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Since the emperor is righteous, I don't need to hide it, I have 200,000 elite soldiers under my command now, and I can solve Xueling's crisis!" ”

"Is Your Highness serious?" The old emperor's hands trembled with excitement.

"Naturally, it's just ......" Shen Yichi frowned slightly, making a look of wanting to say something.

The old emperor was naturally tickled and asked, "What is the difficulty of Your Highness?" ”

"It's not difficult, it's just that the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it takes a lot of twists and turns for the army to come to Xueling, and the road is bumpy, and the grain and grass are not very abundant."

The implication is that I'm short of money.

Zhong Ling looked at Shen Yichi and said these words very calmly, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, the old emperor originally pointed to him to solve his urgent needs, but he didn't want Shen Yichi to throw a problem out first.

I couldn't help but wonder: "This ...... The treasury is not full, and the grain and grass of 200,000 soldiers will not be available for a while! ”

"It's not a trouble, I discussed with my old friend on the way here, and the Shijia Salt Shop can now produce 200,000 stone of grain, which can be used by the soldiers to survive this vicious battle!"

As soon as Shen Yichi's words fell, Father Zhong was puzzled: "The young master and His Highness have discussed it?" But last night I discussed with the emperor that I wanted to transport 300,000 stone of grain from the salt shop to the imperial city, and the silver circulating in the salt shop now can only evenly produce 300,000 stone of grain, how is this good? ”

Shen Yichi looked at the old emperor intently: "The emperor also needs grain and grass?" ”

"Exactly, now that Chiyan is coming, two cities have fallen, and the refugees in the city are flowing south, with countless casualties, and they need food and grass to save their lives!

”

Zhong Ling sneered when he heard this: "Does the emperor think that the grain and grass will be distributed to the refugees?" ”

Although the old emperor had nothing to do about Shen Yichi, now a businessman could be disrespectful to him, and his face couldn't help but sink.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's just to tell the emperor that the officials under your command are not doing well, and they will withhold grain and grass at all levels!" Zhong Ling's tone was indifferent.

The old emperor slapped the table angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"I know!" Zhong Ling raised his eyes and looked straight at the old emperor: "When I was six years old, my family was exiled because the officials were bribed by the dog thief who shook the sky!" There was another famine in the frontier, and his parents were starved to death, because of the private pockets of the officials who distributed the relief food, all because of the connivance of the emperor! Now that I have obtained the Shijia Salt Shop with my own skills, I naturally can't let those officials be lawless! So food, only a hundred thousand tribute! ”

The old emperor was very angry, and stretched out his hand to point directly at Zhong Ling: "Aren't you afraid that the widow will punish you?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Shen Yichi said: "Exchanging 200,000 stones of grain and grass for 200,000 elite soldiers to defend your territory is really a sure-fire deal. What's more, I have already discussed this matter with Young Master Jiang, and it was only a small butler who came to meet the Holy Lord yesterday, and your consultation with him is naturally innumerable! ”

"This ......"

Shen Yichi flicked his sleeves and got up: "Young Master Jiang is my old friend, I must protect her thoroughly, if you don't follow, then I can only form an alliance with other countries!" ”
