"Borrowed. Yuan Xi hooked his hand: "General Qin, you give him a receipt of one thousand taels." ”

Qin Shun paused: "Me?"

"Of course you opened it, could it be me?" The tea Yuanxi in his hand only took a sip and didn't touch it again, and moved the teacup away from an open space for Qin Shun to write.

Kang Wenjin slowly took the receipt and asked the master to take Qin Shun to the treasury. Seeing that there was no one around Yuanxi, Kang Wenjin let go of his courage and asked: "County Lord, ...... the receipt of the private salt?"

"Want a receipt?"

"Yes. He replied plainly and earnestly, as if he were a lamb to the slaughter.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "Cheng, I'll ask someone to bring it to you when I turn around." ”

Kang Wenjin heard that Yuan Xi was going to return the receipt of the private salt to him, so he dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and sent Yuan Xi and Qin Shun out of the mansion with kind words.

The grain was loaded into the car, and Qin Shun began to worry again, the grain was too heavy, the carriage and horses were walking too slowly, and they had nothing to do when they encountered a rough road. Coupled with the 1,000 taels of silver he had borrowed, he didn't know how to pay it back, who would pay it back?

"Qin Shun. Yuan Xi lifted the sedan curtain.

Qin Shun rushed over with his horse: "County Lord, what else do you have to order." ”

Yuan Xi handed the 1,000 taels of silver given by Kang Wenjin to Qin Shun from the window: "You take the silver to Tongzhou to buy grain, the grain in Yuexi is too expensive, and it is more than twice as much as in Tongzhou." ”

Qin Shun was stunned: "Then these grains ......"

"I'll send this food to the barracks, you go and come back quickly. ”

Qin Shun was a little curious when he took the silver, and finally couldn't help but ask: "County Lord, in fact, these grains are enough to support a few days, why do we borrow a thousand taels?"

"What's the matter, I'm afraid I can't afford it?" Yuan Xi's words hit the nail on the head and stabbed straight into Qin Shun's heart.

Qin Shun nodded honestly, and it was indeed a little embarrassing to say the word "afraid", but he still said it.

"Don't worry about spending you, this is military money, no one will ask you to pay back. ”

Qin Shun stopped the horse and was stunned for a long time. Poison! It's really poison! The IOU was beaten, but the money was not returned. Qin Shun couldn't help laughing, if he used this trick to loot all the corrupt officials in the world, would he still worry about fighting without money?

It took only two days to pass through the short road from Ankang Town, and the grain was escorted to the Donglin camp. God opened his eyes, the heavy rain stopped for a few days, and finally a thousand stone of grain was safely transported to the granary. Rong Zhan saw that it was Yuan Xi who came, and he was dressed as a man, so he didn't move, and only called him his rich businessman friend to the outside world.

He gave a few words of succinct command, and then told the generals to retreat. There were only two of them left in the big tent, and he suddenly hugged Yuan Xi: "I've never seen you dressed like this." ”

The armor on his body was very cold and hard, but Yuan Xi didn't dodge, and laughed softly: "Is it good-looking?"

He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was a little emaciated, thinking that he would be busy enough to come to this barracks. He turned Yuan Xi around and nodded with a smile: "Good-looking, like a talented man." ”

Yuan Xi pursed his lips: "Can Xiucai get so much food? I'm much more useful than Xiucai." ”

"Yes, yes, thanks to you. Qin Shun's kid is really, he is quite good at finding helpers. He gave a glass of scalding wine to Yuan Xi: "There is a shortage of people in the barracks, you are thinly dressed, take a sip to warm your body." ”

The aroma of wine hit his face, Yuan Xi took a sip, it was really spicy, and he didn't move anymore. Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't drink, he took his cloak and put it on Yuan Xi, rubbing her hands, which was as cold as a piece of ice.

"Why didn't Qin Shun come back with you?"

"I told him to go to Tongzhou to buy grain, and it was estimated that it would arrive in three or five days. ”

His hands are not hot, but his neck is quite warm, Yuan Xi deliberately put his cold hand around his neck, he did not hide, and helped warm his hands.

"Spending your money again?" he was a little ashamed.

"Kang Wenjin's silver, I knocked him a thousand taels. Yuan Xi smiled proudly: "The grain in the same state is cheaper, five or six hundred wen can buy one stone, plus the one thousand stone that has been put into storage, it will definitely be able to support the grain allocated by the imperial court." ”

"Won-hee, I have something to tell you. He suddenly became serious: "While Donglin hasn't really started fighting, you should hurry back to the capital." ”

Yuan Xi was stunned: "Why?"

He pursed his lips, hesitated, and said: "I received a report yesterday that there are actually fifty percent more bandits in Donglin Prefecture than expected. I'm still the same sentence, I'm not afraid of fighting, but I can't let someone poke the weakness, I'm not at ease when you're here, not at all. Only when you are safe can I let go and fight. So, I want you to go back to the capital first. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head resolutely: "I don't feel at ease if you are here alone." ”

He couldn't help but laugh: "What do I have to worry about?"

"If you were really confident that you could destroy the rebels, you wouldn't want me to leave. Yuan Xi panicked, and she suddenly noticed a trace of the smell of life and death. The calmer Xiao Rongzhan was, the more scared she became.

"Look here, soon there will be corpses all over the field, bleeding and drifting, not to mention your daughter's family in such a scene, even men will be terrified when they see it. Besides, the rebels are all from the common people, and it will be difficult for them to change into civilian clothes and sneak into the people, and then it will be difficult to find them. If they find out who you are, and if I hurt you because I don't have time to hurt you, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Rong Zhan lied and turned his back, avoiding Yuan Xi's gaze.

He has never been worried about the rebels who have increased by fifty percent, and what rebels are wandering. His only worry is Yuan Xi, what kind of woman doesn't let her eyebrows go? Even if she exaggerates the sky, she is also a girl, can a girl not be afraid when she sees blood? Coupled with his method of fighting to kill everything, even the civil officials in the court feel cruel when they hear it, let alone Yuan Xi is a girl?

What if she also thinks he is cruel and has been afraid since then, and when she sees him, she is like a passer-by and hides away?

"But will you protect me?" Yuan Xi's words made Rong Zhan breathe, and he had no ability to refuse.

"I don't care, I won't leave if you chase me. Yuan Xi hugged him from behind and burst into tears: "Please, I will definitely not cause trouble for you, I promise to be quiet, you can take me with you, okay?"

Rong Zhan held her hand, and his heart began to soften. It's really useless, he should yell at her a few times and make her angry, but he can't be ruthless.

He slowly turned around, grabbed Won-hee's shoulder, and approached her still tear-stained cheek: "Then you have to promise me one thing, if you can do it, I will take you." ”

Won-hee nodded aggrievedly.

Rong Zhan paused, and said word by word: "You can only stay in my big tent, you are not allowed to go out, except for me and Qin Shun, you are not allowed to talk to anyone." You can't listen to what others say, and you can't read the military orders that have been written. Okay?"

Although this condition was strict, Yuan Xi agreed without hesitation. Originally, she just wanted to guard Xiao Rongzhan alone, and she didn't want to get involved in those things of life and death.

Seeing that she agreed, Rong Zhan took her into his arms and sighed: "I really can't help you." ”

The sergeant outside the tent reported: "Lord Wang, the carriages and horses of the two deputy generals of Pan Yang have entered the camp." ”

Rong Zhan hurriedly let go of Yuan Xi: "I'm going to do business now, don't make a noise behind the screen." ”

There are women in the army, and morale is not high. But Xiao Rongzhan would rather risk the world's disapproval than coax her. When the generals raised the tent, there was a woman hiding behind the screen, who would have thought that?

Rong Zhan sat in the right seat of the commander, and Pan Yang and the others saw the military salute and said: "Lord Wang, the last general is incompetent, and he only brought back fifty stones of grain." ”

Rong Zhan glanced at them indifferently, and they lost their armor one by one in embarrassment, as if they had just finished a vicious battle.

"What's the matter with the two generals?"

Pan Yang and the others glanced at each other: "Back to the prince's words, the last general and others collected 400 stone of grain from the Yuexi government, but they encountered the rebels on the way, they set off rockets to burn the grain and grass, and the last general and others tried their best to rescue them, so they grabbed 50 stone of grain and asked the prince to punish the crime." ”

The play is quite sufficient, and the acting is sincere, if it is replaced by the weak third prince, he will definitely step forward to help the two of them up, and then Wen Yan will be relieved. The two of them had a bad life, and met an iron-faced Xiao Rongzhan.

Rong Zhan snorted calmly: "Of course, the crime must be cured, but this king is a little curious, where did you meet the rebels in Yuexi?"

"It was near the town of Ankang, and the last general thought that it was relatively safe because it was close to the village and town, so he told the convoy to rest, but who knew that a group of rebels suddenly came out from behind the mountain. ”

After Vice General Pan finished compiling it, he left Vice General Yang, and Vice General Yang immediately responded: "Yes, Lord Wang, at that time, Vice General Pan asked me to take the grain team to go first, and he came to resist for a while, but the road in Ankang Town was rugged and full of rocks. Carriages and horses can't get through at all. Only then was the rebels caught up, and the last general fought to the death, but he couldn't keep the food. ”

Rong Zhan hummed lightly, stood up and walked between Pan Yang and the others, and reached out to touch the damage on their armor: "Two generals, if you have been to Ankang Town in the past few days, you will find that the ground in Ankang Town has already been repaired. There are no rocks, and there are no ruggedness. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the generals burst into laughter.

Rong Zhan stretched out his hand again and pulled out the saber on the waist of Pan Yang and the others. One hand shook against the sun, and there were injuries of varying severity on both swords.

"The rebels are all surrounded by this king in Donglin City, where are the bandits from Yuexi?" Rong Zhan took the opportunity to put the two swords on the ground: "The injuries on the two of you should be caused by cutting each other, right?" He pretended to be pitying: "Two generals, if you can't raise food, why do you have to be so good-looking?"

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed non-stop, and Pan Yang gritted his teeth with hatred and was silent.

"Someone!" Xiao Rongzhan's face changed in an instant.

Li Yue beckoned, brought four armored people, and Rong Zhan lightly ordered: "Tie up these two Yong generals who are eating and waiting for death to this king, and when they go out tomorrow, this king will use their heads to sacrifice the flag!"

When Vice General Pan heard that Rong Zhan was going to kill him, he slammed into it, knocked the soldier who tied him out more than a meter away, and grabbed the saber on the ground with his backhand: "I'll fight with you!"

It was too late, and before he could stand up straight, the blade of the sword in Rong Zhan's hand had already cut through his throat, and the blood more than half a foot high splashed half of Rong Zhan's cheeks.

Adjutant Pan's body shook, his head fell to the ground, and he died.
