Chapter 292: Assassination

In this way, not only is there no problem with the irrigation of this field, but if something really happens, it is easy to cook, and you really think carefully and choose such a treasure land. ”

Qian Qianqian laughed lightly, then turned around and walked on the ridge, because it is now the dry season, it has not rained in the capital for a long time, the ridge is a little hard, and the diaphragm is panicked when stepping on the soles of the feet.

"Actually, this is all the credit of Wu Shun, he sent someone out to find it, and there are a few pieces of dry land, maybe you can grow some corn and wheat."

Xiao Mohan didn't think so, he said it lightly, in fact, if he hadn't reminded him, how could Wu Shun have wanted to get this layer.

"Just having these fields is still not enough, there are so many people in Xiao State, there are many people in the capital alone, the central country is eyeing the tiger, and the imperial court can't count on it, we have to be well prepared."

Qian Qianqian explained unhurriedly that after crossing over to Xiao Guo, she had inquired in many ways and also had an understanding of Xiao Guo's basic situation, so she knew the stakes involved.

"Yes, but there is very little land in the capital, I bought so much in secret, and I have already occupied forty percent of the fields in the capital, and the remaining sixty percent, forty percent of them are occupied by large businessmen and dignitaries, and only two percent are in the hands of the people, so even if I want to buy fields, I can't just be in the capital."

Xiao Mohan walked behind Qian Qianqian, there was no superfluous look on his face, his voice was low, with a bit of unique magnetism, revealing indescribable charm.

"But if it's outside the capital, then you have to send someone to take care of it, I know the laws of Xiao State, it is a felony for officials to buy and sell land without permission, so you have to send a reliable and loyal person."

Qian Qianqian couldn't help but think of this, the emperor gave Xiao Mohan those side concubines, just because he suspected Xiao Mohan in his heart, so it was not appropriate to make any more extraneous branches at this time.

"I understand, but there is still a problem at the moment, Xiao Guo and Yang Guo have just experienced a war, and there should be no more fighting for a while, we have planted so many fields, and when we harvest next year, if those grains have been hoarded, the granary is easy to handle, that is, we have occupied so many fields, and the people are afraid that there will be a shortage of food."

Xiao Mohan changed his words, and suddenly said this, in fact, this is also a question that Qian Qianqian considered in her heart, but Xiao Mohan didn't say it before, so she didn't speak.

"We can contact the grain store privately, sell a part of the grain at a low price to the grain store, and then set a price for the grain store, so that they can not be higher than this price, so that the people can buy cheap grain, and the price of grain in the entire capital can also be stabilized."

Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan, the eyes hidden in the black veil were extremely clear, Xiao Mohan also had this intention, it seemed that in this matter, they really had the same mind.

"You are really bold, if you really do this, aren't you manipulating the grain market in the entire capital?"

Xiao Mohan sneered without a trace, spit out a few words lightly, and deliberately tried to say like this, his eyes were scorching, revealing a little mockery.

"What if you can get food prices down and keep them within normal limits? This grain market is the market of the dignitaries, not the common people, if you don't make the decisions for the people, what is the use of asking for so much grain? ”

Qian Qianqian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at Xiao Mohan through the black veil, and said it unceremoniously, but when she heard this, it seemed that Xiao Mohan was wrong.

"You are really a person with great ambitions, it seems that I let you do business in the capital, right, this capital is not as prosperous as Lianzhou, although it is prosperous, but there are also many people who can't eat enough, with you, their lives can be improved."

Xiao Mohan's words have a bit of deep meaning, which sounds like he is giving Qian Qianqian a high hat, but in fact they are full of expectations and trust.

"I don't have such a big ability, the general really promoted me, you are all royal relatives and nobles, and the people of this capital have to rely on you to support me, so I can't do anything, everything still depends on you."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she deliberately said so humbly, she crossed over to turn over the salted fish and make a fortune with the whole family, but she didn't want to save the common people by herself, she was a country woman, but she didn't dare to think about this kind of thing.

"No, there are too many things you can do, in front of me, you don't have to be humble anymore, my lifelong wish is to assist the Holy Lord in governing the Xiao Kingdom, except for the scourge of the Central Kingdom, so I need you, Qianqian, stay by my side all the time, and after a while, I will ask the emperor to give me a marriage."

Xiao Mohan suddenly walked in front of Qian Qianqian, blocking her way, Xue Yi and Wu Shun were on the opposite ridge, there was still some distance from them, Xiao Mohan blocked her sight, so that she couldn't escape at all.

"Right now, my hot pot restaurant and pickle shop are thanks to you, so for my business, I will stay with you, but the marriage is better to be delayed, now the people in the capital know that I am ugly and vulgar, if you really go to ask the emperor, for the sake of royal face, presumably the emperor will not agree."

Qian Qianqian tried her best to maintain her composure, and she was very honest, in fact, she had already been moved by Xiao Mohan, but she never confided in her, and always used other things to cover up.

"This is nothing, anyway, almost no one in the court has seen your true face, I can change your identity, let you have a more noble background, enter the general's mansion in style, and become my main wife."

Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips, his deep eyes were full of determination, his hands were behind his back, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his every move showed the demeanor of the emperor, he was full of momentum, and his figure was tall, which made him even more pretentious.

"No, I am who I am, how can I use someone else's identity? I, Qian Qianqian, want to get married, I must marry with this name and this identity, and never do such sneaky things. ”

Qian Qianqian raised her head, her face was full of stubbornness, and her tone was full of indescribable pride, as if she would not bow her head no matter what.

Xiao Mohan looked down at Qian Qianqian, and as he expected, Qian Qianqian was such a proud woman, and she couldn't stand the slightest grievance.

"Since you don't want to, then you can only wait a little longer, sooner or later, I will marry you into the General's Mansion with dignity."

Xiao Mohan held Qian Qianqian's shoulder, his eyes were deep, flowing with a trace of gentleness, Qian Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, and bit her lower lip lightly, although she was happy, she was a little embarrassed.

"It's not early, let's go quickly, don't let Xue Yi and Steward Wu wait for a long time."

Qian Qianqian raised her feet in a little panic, tore the corners of her mouth, and walked straight ahead with some difficulty.

After looking at the fields, Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian went home, Wu Shun was driving the carriage outside, and when he passed through a forest, there were suddenly strange sounds around, and the withered yellow leaves fell in a row, and there was a murderous atmosphere.

Xiao Mohan suddenly sensed that something was wrong, his face sank, he grabbed Qian Qianqian's wrist, and with a flash, he dodged a cold arrow that flew in from the window.

Qian Qianqian was shocked, her eyebrows were twisted into a dead knot, I don't know who was so bold that she actually assassinated Xiao Mohan?

Wu Shun also immediately reined in his horse, stopped the carriage, and more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly fell from the sky, firmly surrounding them.

Xue Yi also got out of the car, took out the short whip pinned to her waist, her face was full of vigilance, Xiao Mohan took out the dagger in her sleeve, and put Qian Qianqian Tiger behind him, her eyes were scorching, and she was fierce.

"Kill—"

The black-clothed man led by him gave an order, and the others instantly waved the long sword in their hands and pounced on Xiao Mohan and the others.

Xiao Mohan and Xue Yi immediately resisted, Wu Shun was no exception, Qian Qianqian saw Wu Shun's skills for the first time, and was amazed in her heart.

She always thought that Wu Shun was just the housekeeper of the General's Mansion and didn't know martial arts, but she didn't expect Wu Shun to be no worse than Xue Yi when he started to move, Xiao Mohan was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Xiao Mohan has been carefully protecting her, but these black-clothed people are also masters, and their moves are ruthless and deadly, and they are obviously aimed at Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian, so the situation suddenly stalemate.

Suddenly, a man in black attacked from behind Qian Qianqian, Qian Qianqian turned around suddenly, a dodge and kicked, dodging the knife of the man in black, she had also learned taekwondo, and she would not have no ability to resist at all, so let these people kill her.

"General, there are a lot of these black-clothed people, otherwise it's better to call them Yufeng."

Xue Yi solved a man in black, hit Xiao Mohan's side, and reminded in a low voice.

In fact, Xiao Mohan also knew that he could be called Yufeng, but this was in the capital, and these people all came prepared, if he really called Yufeng, he might be bitten back and cause more trouble.

"Let's go our separate ways."

Xiao Mohan didn't nod, just gave a faint order, and then took Qian Qianqian to the east of the forest, while Xue Yi and Wu Shun went to the west.

Somehow, Xiao Mohan always felt that someone was secretly planning this matter, just to force out the hole cards in his hand, so the more this time, the more he had to calm down, and he must not let the people in the shadows succeed.

In the depths of the forest, Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian hid in the jungle, watching those black-clothed people running in front of them, and the surroundings were quiet, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qianqian, are you alright?"

Xiao Mohan turned around and looked at Qian Qianqian carefully, his chin was tight, his eyes were full of concern, and his expression was solemn and solemn.

"I'm fine." Qian Qianqian shook her head, glanced around a few times, and saw that the black-clothed people did not come back, so she walked out with Xiao Mohan.

"Let's go." Xiao Mo coldly spit out a word, the dagger was stained with a lot of blood, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, but no matter how they walked forward, they seemed to be spinning in place, and they couldn't get out of this forest, and they couldn't find the place they started.

"What to do? We're afraid we're trapped in this forest. Qian Qianqian stopped, panting from exhaustion, her face was slightly red, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Xiao Mohan also found out about this, if they really got lost in the forest, it would be troublesome, the man in black would appear at any time, and then they didn't know how many hardships they had to go through before they could go back safely.

"Out of the way, you forgot? This one is still there. ”

Xiao Mohan raised his wrist, the red rope was still tied around his wrist, the dumbbell on it was shining under the sun, Qian Qianqian looked down at her wrist, this rope, she had been tied, but it was hidden in the wide sleeves all day long, and it was not exposed.
