"You don't pretend to be stupid in front of this king!" Long Zeyan teased, "Who are you, it's not clear what the king is?" ”

"Hehe..." When Long Zeyan said this, Su Nianjin was a little embarrassed.

"Poor seventh brother, for this matter, I look forward to it in the palace every day," Long Zeyan's tone was a little exaggerated, "It's hard to wait until the beginning of spring, some people have forgotten about this matter again." ”

"I haven't forgotten it, it's just a little late to remember." Su Nianjin defended, "In other words, if the prince doesn't name me and asks me to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, maybe I can still fulfill my agreement with the Seven Princes." Now that the spring breeze has not dispersed, you can still fly kites. ”

"Heh, you still blame this king?" Long Zeyan laughed angrily, "You're too strong!" ”

"Lord Wang, Nian Jin doesn't understand," Su Nianjin lowered his eyes, "You obviously know that Nian Jin's revenge has not been avenged, and you will take Nian Jin away from the capital......"

"......" Long Zeyan paused for a moment, "Didn't you put all your energy on taking care of Prince Yan because of Prince Yan's leg injury?" This time this king goes south, why can't you help me with your accompaniment? ”

Su Nianjin bit her lip, "Aren't you a patrol official when you go south, Lord Wang?" Nian Jin is just a businesswoman, where can I help you? ”

After a pause, Su Nianjin continued, "Besides, although I focus all my energy on taking care of my godfather's injury, I haven't put aside the matter of revenge. Now that the prince has taken me out of the capital, I can't grasp a lot of news in time......"

Between the words, there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

Long Zeyan stared at Su Nianjin's face and was silent for a long time, "It's because of this incident that you are against this king everywhere?" ”

Su Nianjin's pupils widened slightly, how could she not understand Long Zeyan's question.

The gentle oil light did not allow Long Zeyan to observe the subtle differences in Su Nianjin's expression, and he regarded Su Nianjin's silence as a tacit acquiescence to his own question.

He sighed, "It's this king's thoughtfulness, don't you be angry with this king?" ”

Su Nianjin's face changed slightly, the fourth prince actually apologized to himself? She looked at him stiffly, waiting for him to continue.

"This time I went to Jiangnan to inspect the officials just under the guise of it, in fact, the main purpose is to go to Jiangcheng to govern the salt merchants." Long Zeyan said, "Jiangcheng is next to Quzhou City, and your Su family business house dominates Quzhou City, you are familiar with that side, if you take you, this king will save a lot of trouble." ”

Su Nianjin frowned, "Salt merchant?!" The salt merchants in Jiangcheng are very united, and there are thugs in each prefecture, I couldn't deal with them when I was in Quzhou City before, not to mention that the Su family has already suffered a catastrophe, and I have been away from Quzhou for almost two years...... People go to tea and cool, things are people, the prince should have heard a lot of these words, right? Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to help much. ”

The salt merchants in Jiangcheng were ruthless and cruel, and Su Nianjin subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with them.

"Of course the king knows these things," Long Zeyan sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was really short of silver salaries, my father and I wouldn't want to do anything to them." ”

Regarding these things, Long Zeyan didn't hide anything from Su Nianjin.

"Shortage of money?" Su Nianjin didn't believe it, "Lord Wang, Tongbao Money Village is one of the three major money houses in Great Xia, you quickly took it as your own with the power of thunder, and now you still tell me that you lack silver?" ”

Long Zeyan shook his head, "Prime Minister Xue has a lot of capable people under him, and after a fight, in the end, we only got more than eight million taels...... And I handed over all this money to the imperial court...... Last year, there was a drought and locust plague in various parts of the Great Xia, coupled with the uneven war in the northwest, and the increase in military salary expenditures, the already empty treasury has become like a bottomless pit......

"Recently, a spy came to report, saying that the Liao State is going to make a big move, and war is very likely to be inevitable," Long Zeyan said, "but now the treasury can't get any silver, and without silver, how can it defend against foreign enemies?" ”

Su Nianjin pursed her lips, she didn't want to say much about the lack of silver in the treasury.

"Nian Jin, can you help me?" Long Zeyan said, "As for Xue Yingrou, this king promises you that as long as we successfully complete this mission, Xue Yingrou will be at your disposal." How is it? ”

Su Nianjin looked at Long Zeyan's carefully carved silhouette, and sighed in her heart, this person is really a royal person, and he is really cunning.

"Nian Jin?"

"Enemies, it's better to clean up by yourself." Su Nianjin didn't believe Long Zeyan's assurance.

Now that Xue Yingrou has lost power, he said that he can dispose of it at his own disposal. But what if Xue Yingrou gets Prime Minister Xue Cheng's favor again, or if she finds a more powerful backer than Prime Minister Xue, will Long Zeyan still be able to fulfill his promise to himself at that time?

"You...... Won't want to help me? Long Zeyan clenched his teeth tightly, he never thought that Su Nianjin would refuse his situation.

"How could the prince come to such a conclusion?" Su Nianjin looked at Long Zeyan with clear eyes, and her clear eyes seemed to have seen through Long Zeyan's heart, "In this situation, do I have any other choice than to do my best for you?" ”

Now Long Zeyan is kind words to ask himself for help, he told himself such a confidential matter, if he doesn't agree, there will only be two ends: one is that he will try his best to make himself have to act according to his words, if he would rather die than obey, then what awaits him is only death.

Su Nianjin is a smart person, she will not let herself fall into such a passive situation.

Long Zeyan pursed his lips, "This king wants to see you help this king willingly." ”

"Lord Wang, didn't you say that you know me very well?" Su Nianjin smiled, "Do you think I seem to be reluctant?" ”

"Who knows what you think?" Hearing Su Nianjin say this, Long Zeyan was very happy, but he still kept a straight face, "In the past half a year, your attitude towards this king has been far and near, and you have confused this king!" ”

Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.

"What's going on?" Long Zeyan, who almost hit it, asked Song Yuheng outside the car out loud.

"Fourth master, it's time to the inn!" Song Yuheng lifted the carriage curtain with a calm face.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and it was dark for some wonder.

"Sorry, it's too dark to see the road clearly, so the carriage stopped a little urgently." Before Long Zeyan got angry, Song Yuheng preemptively gave a reasonable reason.

"Lord Wang, get off the carriage!" Su Nianjin didn't seem to mind the sudden braking just now, and she jumped out of the carriage first.

Seeing this, Long Zeyan couldn't continue to say anything.

Anyway, there was still some distance to Jiangcheng, and he still had a lot of time to listen to Su Nianjin answer the question he had just asked.
