Immediately, Qin Tian looked at Pei Yingxiu, saw him nodding, didn't think much about it, and followed Dou San down the well together.

Sure enough, there was someone in the well, but it was less than half a meter deep, and it took a few steps to enter an underground tunnel.

Along the way, Qin Tian asked about the origin of this private army.

is no different from what Qin Tian thought, most of this private army are the original veterans of the Xiao family, and they are truly loyal to the existence of the Xiao family.

It's just that they were not systematically cultivated and settled at the beginning, and they were only cultivated after the queen fell ill.

Subsequently, the old marquis of the Xiao family took over and continued to develop, and until now, how many people and secrets there are in this private army, even this Dou San does not know.

This village is just one of the pawns of the Xiao family ambushed near the imperial capital.

Hearing this, Qin Tian was shocked in his heart, no wonder this emperor wanted to get rid of the Xiao family, not to mention holding military power, and secretly doing these things, it was definitely a capital crime.

But when he just thought so, Dou San led the way with a lamp in front of him: "I thought I would never see Your Highness for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect Your Highness that you really came, and what the Queen Mother was worried about still happened!" ”

When Qin Tian heard this, he was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Dou San subconsciously said: "Niangniang didn't tell His Highness? ”

Pei Yingxiu opened her mouth at this time and explained: "Your Highness doesn't know, the Queen Mother set up this army because she was worried that after her death, if there was an accident in the Xiao family, Your Highness would be isolated, and this private army would be the old man of the Xiao family's army, and she could protect Your Highness's safety!" ”

"And the old marquis also thinks like this, so after the death of the queen mother, the number of people was expanded according to the idea of the queen mother, after all, there is no danger!"

"If His Royal Highness successfully ascends the throne, Uncle Dou and these people will never appear in front of the world, of course, if His Royal Highness ascends to the throne and needs the help of strength, he can also call it!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian reacted, this group of people was simply preparing for themselves.

But think about it carefully, does the queen know that the Xiao family will have an accident?

Or is it that Old Marquis Xiao had already expected this?

But why did the Xiao family have an accident, these people didn't move at all, they were really so obedient, waiting for themselves to come?

Seemingly knowing what Qin Tian was thinking, Pei Yingxiu added: "And except for His Royal Highness, even if the Xiao family is wiped out, they can't show up!" ”

Dou San answered at this time: "Niangniang said yes, this is also our last military order, the military order has been received, and we will never disobey!" ”

The eight characters in the back are magnificent, and at the same time, they also carry Dou San's helplessness.

Qin Tian was in awe, these former veterans of the Xiao family must be loyal to the Xiao family.

If it is really as Pei Yingxiu said, they are lurking in the situation of the village, then their descendants are also one of the strengths.

If there are many such villages in Dashang, it will definitely overturn the existence of the current imperial court.

As I thought about it, the front became empty, and it seemed that I had come to a mountain, where I could see the light of fire dancing, and the surrounding walls were hung with armor and weapons.

There was a huge clearing in the middle of the mountain, and Qin Tian wondered, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Dou San explained: "This is our training ground, since we have been ordered by the army, then we must ensure that we have the strength to fight, and our descendants are the follow-up strength of this army, and the men in the village will train here since childhood, waiting for your Royal Highness's arrival at any time and entering the combat state!" ”

Although Qin Tian thought about it, he received an affirmative answer, his heart was full of shock, and at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart.

Even if the army of these villages is self-sufficient, they still need a source of money, after all, the men are trained, who will earn money to support the family?

After asking, Dou San smiled and said: "Your Highness, do you know, when the queen mother did not enter the palace, she was a famous talented woman in Dashang, and she was also the richest woman in Dashang. ”

"It's more about the financial help of the queen's mother, as well as the support of the Hou Ye, to put it mildly, without the eldest lady and the Xiao family, your majesty today can't sit on the emperor's throne!"

"Therefore, this next generation of emperors, if you don't sit, let alone the state generals and guards of the Great Shang, even our group of dying veterans will not be convinced!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian seemed to figure out why Qin Xin was jealous of the prince and did not abolish the prince.

It's not a question of whether he dares or not, but he really abolished the prince, I'm afraid that his own foundation is unstable, after all, Qin Xin can be the emperor, and it completely depends on the Xiao family.

At this moment, Qin Tian became interested in the queen and Marquis Xiao, but in his memory, the two of them were mostly fond of the prince, and did not show anything else.

Immediately, Qin Tian asked, "The money that the queen mother ran at the beginning has not been spent?" Since the father should know the wealth of the queen mother, right? ”

Pei Yingxiu saw that when she said this, she didn't hide it anymore.

"This is the cleverness of the queen mother, after Her Majesty ascended the throne, the queen mother became pregnant not long after, at the beginning, because the kings competed for the throne, the big merchants had to use money everywhere, and the queen mother did not hide her secrets, and she gave everything she could give to Her Majesty!"

"But after Your Highness gave birth, the Queen Mother told Her Majesty that she wanted to save money for you, and she hid part of her wealth, and after she became seriously ill, she made a lot of arrangements!"

"And the concubines know that the queen mother left twelve keys and twelve shopkeepers, and only these twelve shopkeepers know where the wealth of the queen mother is, they are all people who have received the great favor of the queen mother, and they have sworn allegiance to His Royal Highness, and the concubine is one of the twelve treasurers, and the wealth of the queen mother of the imperial capital has always been in the hands of the concubines!"

While speaking, Pei Yingxiu took out an ordinary copper key, and Qin Tian was blinded.

He thought that Pei Ying's embroidery was not simple, but he didn't expect that this girl was still a rich woman, and she was one of the queen's backers.

And if these things are combined, the affairs of the Xiao family can be understood.

The Xiao family holds the military power, and the queen still has such wealth, so it is completely possible to support another emperor.

Especially as the prince grows up day by day, if the Xiao family does not destroy the clan, the prince can completely threaten Qin Xin's throne.

Emperor, how could he keep this knife hanging over his head?

Of course, this is also the norm, the ancient emperors, how many like to be threatened?

This is not an ordinary family, but a royal family.

The royal family is ruthless, and the queen also planned early, maybe she never wanted this ending, but in the end she still couldn't avoid it.

Of course, all this was great news for Qin Tian himself.

With this private army in hand, his prince's resignation plan can be implemented again, and he doesn't have to worry about others sitting on the emperor to deal with him.

After all, with this private army and the queen's huge wealth, he can completely change the world.

There are soldiers and money, this is simply a BUG!
