Zhan Li naturally knew what Bai Qi was angry about, but he didn't keep silent and let him be angry.

Nangong Yu saw it in his eyes, added a fire to it, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty has thanked His Royal Highness King Long En for the millions of soldiers guarding the border pass. The soldiers on the border were waiting at this time, hoping that the ministers would return with food and pay as soon as possible. The minister believed that the generals would be grateful for the kindness of His Royal Highness King Qi and the imperial court, and would definitely swear to defend the land of Huofeng to the death, and bow to the death of the emperor. ”

After this translation, Bai Qi couldn't get off the stage, glared at Nangong Yu, and felt that he was hateful and respectable, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "After I discussed the matter of food and salary, I will let you be informed, you go back first."

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Qi", Nangong Yu and Nangong Bo bowed their hands together.

When Nangong Yu was leaving, he wiped his side, glanced at him meaningfully, understood it, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Qi saw that Nangong pardoned them and left, walked up to Zhan Li and said, "High priest, you know, twenty million taels, Neku can't take it out at all."

"That's how much you should give", replied lightly.

"You...", Bai Qi held back his anger and paused and said, "I can get a maximum of one million taels, and the rest depends on your ability as the high priest."

"It's only one million two wow, but the 400,000 troops of the Western Battalion have resisted the invasion of the Heavenly Wolf Country along the west side for many years, I don't know if it can't solve the predicament of the Western Battalion, I don't know if it will really be like Nangong Amnesty said, the consequences are worrying?"

"You...", Bai Qi said indignantly: "Don't forget that you are still the high priest of the Fire Phoenix Country."

"I know, so I do my duty, and do only what the high priest should do, and nothing else can be done."

"Detachment... How did you become like this"?

He probably knew that the amount of silver in the inventory should not exceed eight million taels, so he said: "If I were Your Highness, I would try to be as accurate as possible, so as not to change the sky in the west."

"Are you threatening me"?

"Your Highness is too worried, but Your Majesty doesn't dare, just tell the truth."

Bai Qi listened, his face was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick, and he forced himself to calm down, and said after a while: "High Priest, I know your way, can't you think of some way, twenty million taels, it's too much"?

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Qi, how much can you give?"

"Three million taels, no more, otherwise if you don't wait for what happens to the west, I'm afraid that the fire phoenix will be in danger first."

Yu Li looked at Bai Qi and knew that he was telling the truth, thinking that the annual salaries of these hundred officials had been changed to April 1, and the funds of the various departments had been in arrears, and many officials had already found other ways to make money.

"Well... Three million taels, I will try my best to think of other ways", after speaking, he looked at Bai Qi, he was closing his eyes to suppress his anger, and at the same time he was struggling, so he arched his hand and said: "The minister will retire first."

Bai Qi didn't raise his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to it, turned around and left.

Kou Sen came in with a cup of hot osmanthus tea, put it on Bai Qi's desk and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, let's drink a cup of hot tea first."

Bai Qi opened his eyes and looked at Kou Sen, took the teacup with his hand, and was about to drink it, when he saw Feng Yi come in.

"Princess Fengyi"? Corson hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Father...", Feng Yi called.

"Kosen, let her come over", Bai Qi put down the cup, looked at Feng Yi and said, "Yi'er, what's the matter"?

"Father, I know that Nangong pardoned him to ask for military salaries, right? Father, I beg you to approve it, I think that those who come to the camp of Naxi must be in great need of this military salary, if not, how can they stabilize the morale of the army?"

"Does Yi'er also know how to stabilize the morale of the army"?

"Father, although I am in the deep palace, I can feel the situation at the border pass from the faint sadness in Nangong Yu's eyes, he was not like this before."

"Oh... Does Yi'er know him so well"?

"No... I'm just...", Feng Yi said this, her face flushed a little.

"It's just what, Yi'er has grown up, it's time to decide on the candidate for the prince's husband, I think that Nangong Yu is extraordinary, excellent in martial arts, calm and wise, and is also a handsome talent in Anbang and Dingguo, and he is worthy of Yi'er."

"Father...", the look of joy on Feng Yi's face was obvious.

Bai Qi looked at Feng Yi, and thought in his heart that Nangong pardoned him to replace Nangong Yuan and take charge of the army, if he was Feng Yi's husband, he would definitely have something to rely on in the future.

Feng Yi thought to herself, and suddenly became a little sad, thinking that Nangong Yu was ruthless to herself, and she didn't know if he could be willing.

Bai Qi noticed the change in Feng Yi's expression, so he asked, "Yi'er, what's wrong?"

"Father, Nangong forgives him, he doesn't seem to care about me", Feng Yi said this, a little heartache.

"Princess, the relationship between men and women can be dealt with slowly, and when you get married, you will naturally fall in love for a long time", Cosen comforted on the side.

When Bai Qi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Yi'er, if you have to get along with Nangong Yu, I believe he will definitely like you."

"Okay, Yi'er, just take advantage of this time to send the food to the West Battalion, I will send you to show the king's grace, and there will be Nangong to pardon you along the way, and I can rest assured."

Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, then a shy and happy smile appeared on her face, and she bowed and said, "Thank you for your father's success."

After Feng Yuan learned that Bai Qi asked Feng Yi to go to the border with Nangong Pardon, he was extremely jealous and came to Bai Qi to be coquettish.

"Father, you love your sister, you don't love me."

"Yuan'er, how could it be"?

"You still said no, you asked my sister to go to the border with Nangong Yu, but you didn't let me go"?

"What? You... Do you also like Nangong Amnesty"?

"Hmm...", Feng Yuan nodded shyly.

Bai Qi smiled helplessly, looked at Feng Yuan and said: "There are so many good men in the world, there are more than Nangong pardons, you don't just think about him."

Bai Qi's heart naturally compares Feng Yi and Feng Yuan, Feng Yi is dignified and magnificent, has learned people, has the noble demeanor of the royal family, and the civil and military officials and the palace attendants have a good evaluation of her, on the contrary, Feng Yuan is a little childish, willful, and loves to lose his temper, so he has already locked Feng Yi to take over the position of the princess.

"Father, I'm afraid there are few men in the world who can compare to Nangong pardon."

"Okay, Yuan'er, don't make trouble", Bai Qi pulled Feng Yuan and said: "Then Nangong Yu has two elder brothers, if you like it, you can choose."

"Yuan'er doesn't want it, Yuan'er likes Nangong pardon."

When Bai Qi heard this, he pulled his face down and said, "Nangong pardon, don't think about it."

"Father, you really like your sister", Feng Yuan said this, tears falling down.

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't bear it, coaxed a few words, but didn't see it, so he said: "I'm tired today, Yuan'er go back first."

Feng Yuan raised his eyes to look at Bai Qi, unwilling to leave. Bai Qi beckoned, and Kou Sen came over and pulled Feng Yuan out. After Feng Yuan came out, he collected his tears, changed the sadness on his face, gritted his teeth with hatred, gurgled loudly, clenched his pink fist, and the hatred in his eyes suddenly rose.

The next day, after the court, Bai Qi asked Kou Sen to lead Nangong Yu and Nangong Bo to the Imperial Palace.

Nangong Yu and Nangong Bo stood on one side after saluting.

Bai Qi looked at Nangong Yu carefully, and had to sigh in his heart that it was indeed a dragon among people, no wonder the two princesses were fascinated by him.

"Nangong pardon, I have already handled the matter of food and salary, but you must agree to my conditions, otherwise, the matter of food and salary... I'll have to wait until the next year."

Nangong Bo glanced at Nangong Yu and saw that his face was cold, but he didn't have the slightest hint of impatience.

Nangong Yu was not in a hurry to answer, but asked: "I don't know, how much is the military salary given by His Royal Highness King Qi?"

When Bai Qi heard this, he smiled, but he was thinking that the future would be terrifying, so he had to answer embarrassedly: "Three million taels."

When Nangong pardon heard this, he remained silent, and thought for a while before asking, "Then what are the conditions for daring to ask His Royal Highness King Qi?"

Bai Qi got up, walked to Nangong Yu and said, "In order to show the king's favor, I specially let Princess Fengyi go in person, and her safety will be handed over to you."

When Nangong Bo heard this, he guessed that this was obviously something else, and turned his head to look at Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu thought about it again and again, and replied: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the border is far away, and I don't know what will happen along the way, besides, there is a Heavenly Wolf Country on the border, if I know that my princess of the fire phoenix is going, I am afraid there will be a premeditated plan." Therefore, the minister felt that the princess was still not suitable to go. ”

"Isn't it you? There is also General Nangong here, and I believe that there is no problem with the princess's safety."

"My father is strict in governing the army, and he never allows women in the army, and all the people in the army are men, and the princess is noble, and there are many inconveniences. What's more, the princess may not be able to endure the hardships of running all the way, let alone get used to life in the army, and His Royal Highness King Wangqi will think twice."

"So, are you going to say yes?"

"Your Highness, it's hard for the minister to be ordered."

"The three million taels of military salaries have to go with Princess Fengyi, otherwise, we have to wait until after the beginning of spring."

"Your Highness....", Nangong wanted to say more, but was stopped by Nangong Bola.

"Nangong pardon, I'll give you a day to think about it, and then come to see me after thinking about it", Bai Qi turned to Kou Sen and said, "Kou Sen, send the two princes out of the palace."

"Yes...", Corson stepped forward and stretched out his hand to gesture, "Two princes, please".

Nangong Yu bowed his hand, turned around and said goodbye, and Nangong Bo also bowed and withdrew.

"Brother pardon, what should we do? On my father's side, it won't last long."

"I know".

"Do you want to say yes"?

"Do I have a choice"?

"You decided to say yes, right?" Nangong Bo saw that Nangong Yu had stopped, so he turned to look at him and said, "Are you thinking about Princess Ziyue, how to tell her, or...".

Nangong Yu didn't speak, strode forward, and went straight out of the palace gate to King Kang's mansion.

After leaving the court, he came to King Kang's Mansion and told Yan Ziyue that Bai Qi wanted Princess Fengyi to accompany her to Xidaying.

Yan Ziyue's reaction was very flat, as if she was listening to something inconsequential.

"Aren't you worried"? Zhan Li asked.

"Worried about what"?

"Nangong pardon".

"What are you worried about him? Poor protection of the princess? It's okay to protect yourself with his abilities. Worried that he likes Fengyi? If he really will, I can't stop it, not to mention, he won't, I still have this confidence."

"You can really think so".

"It's not that I can't, it's that not everything works the way you want."

Yan Li smiled, looked at Yan Ziyue, and saw a rare open-mindedness and confidence in her.
