"Hahaha, Lord Zuo, you know me, how can you spit out the fat that eats into my mouth? Of course, I can't return a single horse to him, and I will give him a chance to beat me in the future? Xiao Chen smiled, "But this kid can entangle, I can't be entangled by him, so I just gave him something and sent him away." ”

"Tut-tut, Lord Xiao is really rich now! I see that your annual income in Yanyun County is almost catching up with Jiangnan County. Zuo Wei climbed.

"Lord Zuo, you're joking with my brother, don't you know that the emperor has granted Yanyun County no taxes for three years? We have to pay for all the food we have to pay for! It's just that I can't make ends meet, and I still have to import from outside at a high price to feed the big guys, hehe, the court hasn't given a single piece of food. ”

"And Lord Zuo, do you know how much a war horse is worth? How much silver forage do I need to raise for a day? How many war horses have I supplied to the imperial court in the past two years? These war horses were all purchased by my Yanyun County from Northern Xinjiang for my own money, and I sent them to Haining Bay by boat, and the imperial court never gave me a penny of silver. ”

"It can't be said that I didn't give a little, but that little bit of silver is not enough even to compensate the fallen soldiers last time! Do you know how many brothers we lost in the last battle with the Rus? How much pension was spent? And those injured brothers, the court doesn't care, don't brothers care? How much money is it to keep them for a year? ”

"Lord Zuo said that I was rich, hehe, but I didn't know that I was poor now, and I was about to eat! After a while, I will go to meet the emperor and complain to his old man, I don't think others know my difficulties, and the emperor still knows his old man's ......"

Xiao Chen sighed for a long time, full of nonsense.

"Hehe, Lord Xiao, look at you, I just made a joke casually, which attracted so many complaints from you!" Zuo Weipan said with a smile, "Since these war horses are very expensive to raise, then I think it is better for Lord Xiao to send them away as soon as possible, our Fengyang prince is in urgent need of war horses now, why don't they all be sent to Minzhou?" ”

"Oh? Isn't Lord Zuo a waiter in the Ministry of Rites now? Why are you still in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War? Xiao Chen expressed surprise.

"No matter what, this is not the intention of the lower official, but the meaning of the prince of Fengyang, before the lower official came, the prince mentioned the shortage of war horses in the letter, and asked me to ask Lord Xiao for your help to solve it." Zuo Weipan carried Li Feng out again.

"Oh, that's the king's command?" Xiao Chen suddenly realized, "The prince has a life, how dare my brother disobey...... It's just that it's a big matter, and you must have the king's edict, but you can also take it, Lord Zuo? ”

In fact, even if there is Li Feng's edict, it is not enough, the war horse is an important strategic material of the first class, no matter who wants it, it must be approved by the Ministry of War!

Without the big seal of the Ministry of War, let alone Li Feng, a prince who leads troops outside, theoretically even Li Wanjiang's holy decree will not work!

It was impossible for Li Feng not to know this, so Xiao Chen didn't expect that he wouldn't dare to write an edict to ask him for a war horse.

Sure enough, Zuo Weipan smiled embarrassedly, "This is just the prince's message, but there is no hand message, why are you so cautious now, Lord Xiao?" Are you afraid that I will fake the king's order, or are you afraid that the prince will ......?"

"I'm afraid!" Xiao Chen said, "If nothing else, just because I have suffered too much, I have to have a long snack, and now my brother is in Yanyun, that is, I am walking on thin ice, trembling...... Of course I believe in Lord Zuo, and I believe in Lord Wang, but I don't know if Lord Lu Jinglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, believes me? ”

"Haha, joke joke!" Zuo Weipan laughed a few times, but said seriously, "Actually, the prince will not ask you for nothing, he will pay as much money as he wants, so this is not a transfer of war horses, but a normal business relationship between Minzhou and your Yanyun County, and the lower officials dare to pack tickets for the prince, and he will pay as soon as the war horses are transported to you!" ”

"I think Lord Zuo is joking with his brother, this is a war horse, but it's not a cow or sheep walking mule, what should you be guilty of reselling strategic materials without permission, you Lord Zuo won't know, right?" Xiao Chen gestured with the palm of his hand on his neck, "That's going to lose your head!" ”

Zuo Wei Panxin said, "You kid was not afraid of losing your head when you robbed so many war horses from my military department's horse farm!

And how many war horses have you kid quietly sent to Jiangdong County? But I didn't go through the military department, it was all the command of Li Shi, the king of Jiangdong, right?

And Jiangnan County, you also sent at least 30,000 war horses, that is what Li Wanyun, the king of Zhongcheng, asked you for, right?

Why did King Zhongcheng of Jiangdong ask you to give it obediently, and our King of Fengyang asked you to ask you for so many excuses!

It can be seen that your kid didn't take King Fengyang to heart at all, and he didn't look at him in his eyes!

That's true, the only thing Xiao Chen will give to Li Feng with both hands is ugly!

I robbed Lao Tzu's twenty warships last time, and scolded Lao Tzu for not settling the account with you, why are you embarrassed to ask me for something?

Even if you want to, send a messenger to come, and write a letter politely if it doesn't work, why just let people pass a word, Lao Tzu has to listen to your orders?

You're a piece of! In Lao Tzu's eyes, you are not even a fart.

"Since Lord Xiao is afraid of losing his head, then forget it." Zuo Weipan sighed, "Actually, the prince is in a hurry, if he passes through the military department, it will take countless hours, and the prince is not very impatient, otherwise as for opening this mouth with Lord Xiao, but I didn't expect that Lord Xiao, you really didn't give the prince this face, hehehe......"

Xiao Chenxin said I give him a butt, do you want it?

But he said, "Oh, Lord Zuo's words are not good, brother, I am really like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, I am scared of bitter gall, and I am like a snow lion pouring water, and I am covered in cold sweat...... Lord Zuo, you help me, why is this leg still weak! ”

"Lord Xiao, is this swollen?" Gong Shouli pushed the door in, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Xiao Chen trembling in Zuo Weipan's arms, his face was colorless.

"Convulsions!" Xiao Chen finally pulled Zuo Weipan to sit down, but he was terrified.

"Huh?" Gong Shouli said in his heart that he couldn't, you kid is bold, what can scare you? It's just you to scare people...... But looking at his virtue, it's really scary, Lord Zuo?

"It's okay, it's okay." Zuo Weipan's face was not very good-looking, and for the first time, he deeply appreciated Xiao Chen's laziness, and he was holding his breath in his heart.

"Hey, Lord Zuo, you're fine, I can't survive, Gonggong, sit down and listen to me!" Xiao Chen complained to Gong Shouli with a bitter face, "The matter is a ...... of sauce purple"

"You Xiao Chen is really ignorant!" Gong Shouli heard the words and got up, "What did you do, the governor of Yanyun County was confused?" The prince sent you an errand to look up to you, and you have to carry it high and low! Not to mention that you want two broken horses, even if you want your life, you still have to obediently cut off your head and send it over yourself? ”

Gong Shouli's words made Zuo Weipan feel as disgusting as eating a fly, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only laugh twice to hide his embarrassment.
