Everyone began to eat, Meng Xingci and Huo Yu picked up the bowl, put it down together, and sighed faintly at the same time.

"Linghuan ......"

"Linghuan ......"

Meng Xingci and Huo Yu said in unison, and then looked at Ling Huan with blank eyes.

Meng Xingci and Huo Yu glanced at each other, and Huo Yu said aggrievedly: "It's not delicious at all, compared to what Ling Huan does, it's hard to swallow." After a pause, she looked at Meng Xingci with a blank eye: "My lord, is there any way that can make me follow you for the rest of my life?" I'm willing to be an adult bodyguard for the rest of my life. ”

Meng Xingci was moved: "As long as you are willing, you can stay in my ...... for the rest of your life"

"Ahem." Ye Xun coughed lightly twice, interrupting Meng Xingci's words, he said with a stiff face, "Eat." ”

Huo Yu couldn't help but glance at Ye Xun, she intuitively felt that Ye Xun didn't seem to like her very much, why?

As he was talking, people from the palace came, and they came to Huo Yu early.

"Ouch, Miss Huo, go and take a look, the prince is looking for you." The little guy beside Prince An said anxiously.

Meng Xingci and Ye Xun glanced at each other, and Meng Xingci said, "Ah Ye, you accompany Yu'er on a trip." ”

Meng Xingci was not too relieved, she didn't really want Prince An to die.

Lan Sisi's face immediately changed: "Why let Ah Ye go?" Lonely men and widows, what are they like? ”

Meng Ye was also unwilling: "Childe, if I leave, what will I do with Childe?" ”

Bai Zhilun stood up and said, "It's better for me to go, with me, Prince An will not embarrass Miss Huo." ”

Meng Xingci had no choice but to nod and let the two leave.

Meng Xingci sighed lightly, feeling that this trip was really unfinishable, and Zhao Xuan was not so tricky in comparison.

The first night when everyone arrived in Jiangbei passed peacefully, but when Huo Yu came back the next day, he had two dark circles under his eyes.

When Huo Yu came back, it was just in time for everyone to have breakfast, and Meng Xingci stood up immediately when he saw Huo Yu get up.

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Yubaozi's face wrinkled together: "All night, Bai Gongzi and Prince An have been talking all night." I was worried that the two of them would fight, and watched on the side all night. After a pause, she looked at Meng Xingci: "My lord, don't worry, they are so noisy, the assassins are annoyed to death by them." ”

Meng Xingci was distressed, "Look at this bun's face is not round, Ling Huan, hurry up and make up for her......"

Ye Xun pulled Meng Xingci and sat down: "You give me dinner, and I will check Zhao Xuan later." ”

Huo Yu went to make up for sleep, but others have a lot of things to do today.

Song Nian was going to investigate the situation in the army, and Meng Xingci and Ye Xun were going to investigate the generals in the Jiangbei army. Zhao Jin got the news that Zhao Xuan had bought many generals in the Jiangbei Army, and they had to find the traitor as soon as possible.

The crowd split up.

The non-commanders in the Jiangbei Army are all descendants of Emperor Taizu when they fought the world, and over the years, they have been guarding Jiangbei and guarding the sea area of Daqi, preventing the Dongying people from attacking a step.

Zhao Jin always believed that the Jiangbei Army was the most unlikely place to be infiltrated, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xuan had already bought many Jiangbei generals and officials.

This was unbearable for Zhao Jin.

After Ye Xun sent someone to investigate, he found that the current Jiangbei Army only maintained superficial harmony, but in fact, the internal power struggle was very serious.

"The Jiangbei Group all started with Emperor Taizu back then, and they are all like brothers, how can they fight for power so much?" Meng Xingci asked with a frown.

Ye Xun said lightly: "What's so strange about this? After Emperor Taizu drove Dongying out of Jiangbei, Dongying's vitality was greatly damaged, and there has been no war in Jiangbei for decades. However, these people bear the title of general, and the imperial court will allocate a large amount of military expenses every year. Ye Xun said and sneered: "When the emperor sent you to Yanhuiguan for disarmament, in order to save military spending, in fact, he should let you come to Jiangbei." ”

"The military expenses for the annual repair and maintenance of the warships here are a lot of silver, and the military expenses of the Yanhui army are nothing compared to them!" Ye Xun said coldly: "But over the years, there has been no war in Jiangbei at all, and not all this silver has been used on the warship. ”

Meng Xingci said with a solemn expression: "This is a lot of silver. ”

Ye Xun's heart is dripping blood, Jiangbei has not had a war for so many years, but the military expenditure is several times that of the Yanhui army.

The Dingyong Marquis Mansion has been frugal to settle those veterans over the years, but in Jiangbei, these are nothing, and there is a large amount of military spending every year.

Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun: "Fan Yicheng wouldn't be so bold and dare to be greedy for all the military expenses, right?" ”

Ye Xun showed a mocking smile on his face: "Fan Yicheng has equipped his Shenzhou Battalion with solid strength, and the annual warship maintenance and weapon change have never been left behind. But the other two big battalions, the Shenlong Camp and the Shenyuan Camp, were not treated so well. The ships of the two battalions had not been updated for many years, and they remained only in a sailable state. After a pause, he said: "The commanders of the Shenlong Battalion and the Shenyuan Battalion have received a lot of silver, but the soldiers below are not so lucky. ”

"The Shenlong Battalion and the Shenyuan Battalion are only two commanders who can get silver, and the life below the middle level is not easy. A deputy general of the Shenlong Battalion is also a six-rank military general, and his old mother is sick and can't afford to eat a ten-year ginseng. Ye Xun said with an indifferent expression: "In this case, Zhao Xuan uses silver to buy people's hearts, isn't it like a fish in water?" ”

Meng Xingci frowned: "This Jiangbei ink greed situation seems to be more harmful than Zhao Xuan's. ”

The ancestors of these people have made great achievements, and they boast that they have the skill of being a dragon, and they are the overlords of the soil in Jiangbei. But Daqi has been passed down for three generations, and the credit for that idea has already been promised to them glory and wealth, and it seems that it is time to calm down these nobles in Jiangbei.

Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun's indignant face, and knew that he felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Jin is still eccentric, just like Ye Xun said, when the military spending was reduced, she should go to Jiangbei. Just because Jiangbei is the land of Longxing, Zhao Jin was unwilling to reduce the military spending here, so he forced the Yanhui army to disarm.

Ye Xun was indeed angry in his heart, "If it weren't for you who went to Yanhuiguan at the beginning, if you were to change individual officials, those veterans who dedicated themselves to the Great Enlightenment, they didn't die well when they got old." ”

Meng Xingci sighed, shook his hand, and said, "The purpose of our trip is to arrest Zhao Xuan by order, and we have no right to interfere in the ink corruption case in Jiangbei." ”

Ye Xun's face sank, and Meng Xingci hurriedly said before he got angry: "We can't manage it, but there is one person who can." ”

Ye Xun's eyes flashed: "Lord An? ”

Meng Xingci smiled and nodded, and then she leaned into Ye Xun's ear and whispered a few words.
