"Master, do you know the current price of grain, when there was no natural disaster a while ago, it cost 16 yuan and 10 liters, and now, 50 yuan can't buy 8 liters!"

After Zhao Mingqing heard it, he sighed, "This group of profiteers, isn't this a difficult fortune to make a fortune?" This is simply a beheading! ”

"Isn't it? Don't be angry, I'll go do something first, and I'll talk to you when I get back! ”

"Done! You're busy, I still have to go and see how the food is prepared? After Zhao Mingqing finished speaking, the two separated!

At this time, Nanzhu also returned to the capital, returned directly to the Mingyue Palace, came to the hall, and knelt on the ground, "Eldest princess, the maidservant is back!" ”

Zhu Yuejun looked at Nanzhu and snorted lightly, "That guy really did what you said on paper?" If something happened to his father, he would take refuge in someone else? ”

"Zhao Gongzi...... That's what it said, and one more thing, the slave didn't write it on paper! ”

Zhu Yuejun's eyes widened, "What else did he say?" ”

"Zhao Gongzi said that if you want him to come back, he only needs one thing!"

"What?" Zhu Yuejun hurriedly asked.

"To ...... Liang Yun's head, and if it is not delivered within half a month, he will never return to the capital! ”

"!" Zhu Yuejun scolded loudly, sat up from the chair in anger, and paced back and forth in the hall, "Who does he think he is?" How can you threaten Hongu so much? If I don't do what he asks, who will I play tricks with? I don't, I don't! ”

Zhu Yuejun shouted loudly in the Mingyue Palace, not at all calm and noble as before, just like a resentful woman who was mad, loudly scolding Zhao Xuanyi, venting the dissatisfaction in her heart!

But in Nanzhu's eyes, all this is like a pair of men and women bickering, which is really angry and funny!

In the capital, in a mysterious house, a man in black sat on a chair and looked at the person who reported on the side, "So the disaster relief food and silver will be delivered the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Yes! Childe, should we gather people and give this batch of silver taels to the next? I heard that this time it is 500,000 taels! ”

"Humph! It's so fat and elegant, do you think it's so easy to eat? Presumably someone else has been eyeing it for a long time! And...... The person who escorted the disaster relief food this time was Lord Zhao Mingqing, and Zhao Xuanyi did not return to the capital to help his father? ”

"The people below have already checked, and Zhao Xuanyi really didn't come back, but his henchman Shen Wei came back and brought back a few Qilin Guards!"

"Oh? What does that mean? Zhao Xuanyi didn't come back? When the man in black heard this result, he was very puzzled.

"So he already has other plans?"

"Son, are we going to do anything now?"

The man in black waved his hand, "Don't worry, don't make any preparations first, wait to see what others do, this is a big show, if I am not wrong, this shadow will disappear before reaching the disaster area!" ”

"Shall we have a yellow finch behind then?"

"Clever! Let's go down! ”

"Yes!" The next man left immediately!

In the East Palace, Zhu Zhelin found Zhao Xuanli, and Zhu Zhelin was full of embarrassment, "Zhao Xuanli, how long have you been following this prince?" ”

"Tell the prince, it's been five years and three months!" Zhao Xuanli knelt on the ground and spoke.

Zhu Zhelin sighed, "This time the matter is too complicated, this palace doesn't want you to participate, you have to understand, this time the matter is purely coincidental, even if someone else escorts, this palace will do the same thing!" ”

Zhao Xuanli knew that his father must be dead like this, what Zhu Zhelin wanted to do, he had never seen him fail, 500,000 taels of silver, plus tens of thousands of stones of grain, if this was in his hands, it would solve a lot of things!

"The villain asks the prince, this time, ......?"

Zhu Zhelin coughed lightly, "Zhao Xuanli, you must know that even if this palace doesn't do it, others won't let it go!" But this palace can promise you that if this palace gets it, it will definitely save Lord Zhao's life! ”

Zhao Xuanli slammed his head on the ground, "The villain thanked the prince!" ”

"Cheng, you can go down, rest at home these days, and you don't need to worry about everything!"

"Yes! The villain retires! After Zhao Xuanli finished speaking, he got up and left, in fact, Zhao Xuanli knew in his heart that Zhu Zhelin had already begun to guard against himself, and he didn't want to let himself know anything, so he was so mysterious!

Zhu Zhelin sighed, turned his head and looked at the map, only to see a black line drawn on the map with a black forehead pen, and this black line is the route of the transportation of disaster relief food, Zhu Zhelin came to the map, looked at a few markers on it, his eyes were full of thoughts, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose!

At the same time, in Uncle Guo's mansion, Ye Yaoming and Nangong Shuo were also looking at the map, "Sir, you said that this route, will Zhao Mingqing change it?" In my opinion, there are many places on this road that are very thrilling, such as this climbing cliff, as well as this eagle's beak peak, etc., which are very dangerous places! ”

Nangong Shuo touched his beard and smiled, "This second young master misunderstood, Zhao Mingqing was afraid that he would encounter bandits blocking the road and robbing him, so he chose this dangerous route."

"But it takes a long detour to take this road, and what could have been reached in two days now takes three days!"

"As long as the silver can be delivered to the disaster area, it doesn't matter if there is one more day or one less day, and there is a very subtle place, maybe the second young master did not find that this route, basically there are a lot of uphill roads, and there are very few bridges, this is also afraid that the rain will affect the distance, although the uphill slope is not easy to walk, but if it rains, at least there will be no water, it can be seen that Zhao Mingqing still knows how to march!" Nangong Shuo's face was full of appreciation!

Ye Yaoming smiled, "But he didn't calculate, this route may be the closest to our military camp!" I'm going to prepare! ”

"I wish the Second Young Master a victory!" Nangong Shuo said with a smile.

Beneath this calm surface, there is an undercurrent of forces on all sides, and everyone in the court is shouting slogans to save the victims, but you can't take out a copper plate in their pockets!

Not only will they not come up with the money, but they also have to think about how to divide up this batch of materials and silver taels, a full 500,000 yuan, plus all the grain, according to the current prices, not to mention a hundred taels, it is not much worse! Who wouldn't be impressed?

Two days later, all the items were ready, the grain and silver were two racks together, almost two hundred carts, and the imperial court sent a thousand people to escort it, which also shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this material!

Shen Wei brought out all the Qilin guards in Tang Yan Residence, plus the ones he brought from Narcissus Residence, a total of eighty people, and Li Hanrui led a thousand cavalry to follow together! A total of 2,000 guards, just to protect these two hundred truckloads of relief supplies!

After Zhao Mingqing said goodbye to his wife Xu Yuchan, he turned over and got on the horse, and under the eyes of all the people's expectations, he led the team to set off to the affected area.

Because what they have on their cart is not only food and silver, but also the hope of life and the lives of all the people in the disaster area, the compassion of the imperial court, the responsibility of the state, and the attitude of all officials, of course, not all officials!

The team marched out of the capital, Shen Wei and Jinglan led the Qilin Guard to guard Zhao Mingqing's side, Zhao Mingqing glared, "Shen Wei, I'm not old yet, what are you protecting me for?" Let the brothers protect the items, if these things are lost, none of us will have to live! ”

"Yes! Everyone spread out and protect the wagon! Shen Wei gave an order, and all the Qilin guards dispersed and guarded around the carriage!

Shen Wei came to Zhao Mingqing's side, "My lord, everything seems to have returned to the past!" ”

Zhao Mingqing laughed: "I miss the days when I was the king of the mountain, right?" ”

Shen Wei's face turned red, "Conscience and predicament, there is really no way!" ”

Zhao Mingqing sighed: "It is the incompetence of our group of officials that makes you loyal and righteous people fall into the grass!" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Shen Wei said with a smile.

After a burst of horses' hooves, I saw Li Hanrui wearing bright silver armor and running to Zhao Mingqing's side with a spear in hand, "Uncle Zhao, everything is normal!" ”

"Of course, you haven't left the capital yet, even if someone has different intentions, they don't dare to do it at this time, children, go slowly, the difficult place is behind!" Zhao Mingqing's face was full of vicissitudes, as if he understood all actions!

The team had just walked out of the capital for five kilometers, and saw a girl in a white cloak standing on the side of the road, the girl was riding a jujube red horse, and when she saw the team coming, she didn't panic, but came to Zhao Mingqing's face, "Lord Zhao!" ”

Zhao Mingqing looked up, "Isn't this the Nanzhu girl from Mingyue Palace?" ”

"Not bad! Nanzhu came to help Lord Zhao on the order of the eldest princess, there are six moon guards within twenty kilometers ahead, if there is any danger, they will report it in advance, so as not to be ambushed by thieves! Nanzhu said with a smile.

Zhao Mingqing laughed, "Thank you, eldest princess, this is so useful!" ”

Shen Wei and Jinglan saw Nanzhu, their eyes were very cold, in their eyes, the place where Nanzhu appeared was the place where trouble appeared, under normal circumstances, how could Zhu Yuejun send someone to help?

At this time in Hangzhou, Zhao Xuanyi was sitting in the room in a daze, his eyes were blank, his face was dull, like an expressionless puppet!

Du Xinyu came to Zhao Xuanyi's side and sat down, she naturally understood what Zhao Xuanyi was worried about, "Don't worry too much, this is the royal silver tael, if you steal it, you will have to connect the nine clans, who doesn't want to live?" How dare you touch this batch of silver? ”

Zhao Xuanyi stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, "I'm afraid that someone really wants money and doesn't want to die!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed.

"I'd like to see this kind of fool, see the knife on his neck, does he choose to die or silver? Don't be so upset, why don't I take you out for a walk? ”

Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "You don't come here, do you want to go around yourself?" For me, it's better to go out and have fun than to go to bed and fight with you! ”

After Du Xinyu heard this, his face turned red, and his little hand hugged Zhao Xuanyi's neck, "Then carry me to bed, right?" ”

When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, as if he had received some instructions, he hurriedly picked up Du Xinyu and rushed to the big bed, now he has no job, he can do whatever he wants every day, Du Xinyu and Purple Kite are Zhao Xuanyi's happiest things in the day, and Du Xinyu's melodious singing came out of the room not long after!

Zhao Mingqing's side, walked for a whole day, from day to night, the road was very calm, not a bad guy was encountered, which couldn't help but make Zhao Mingqing very happy, but also more cautious, at night, the team came to an open grassland!

Zhao Mingqing immediately ordered, "Everyone should camp on the spot, rest as soon as possible, and continue to march early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!" The team of more than 2,000 people stopped, all the vehicles full of goods were put together, and everyone sat in a circle around the vehicles, even when they were resting, to protect the pillars!

The simple military tents were soon erected, and the men began to burn the fire and boil the water, and the food was nothing more than baked cakes and pickles, plus a bowl of hot water, and they were not out for vacation, not to mention that now the disaster area is in urgent need of food, who dares to propose to eat meat and drink wine at this time?

Shen Wei immediately arranged for all the Qilin Guards, although there were not many people, but the Qilin Guards still had to look like the Qilin Guards, eighty people stood guard in eight teams in turn, and if they found anything wrong, they immediately sounded the gong.

Nanzhu received the news from Yuewei, and no one was found within five kilometers for the time being, which made Nanzhu very relieved, although he knew that this delivery would not be so simple, but at least there would be no danger now!

After dinner, everyone began to rest, leaving more than a hundred people to patrol and stand guard in the team, guarding such an important material, even if they slept, they didn't dare to sleep too much, for fear that the enemy would come to attack at night!
