"Master Hou!"

Seeing that Xu Kun's golden knife was standing in the middle of the long bridge, Manager Liu's face was bitter, neither did he advance nor retreat, even if he didn't feel the emotional changes of Liu Chen behind him at all, but the Lord in charge still didn't dare to retreat, compared to the champion Hou at most reprimanded a few words, this Canglan King will also kill you, and the "good name" of the "hand chopper" is not a wave of blows!

"Hmm!" Xu Kun's face was expressionless, seeing that Manager Liu saluted, he just nodded slowly, and from beginning to end, his eyes all fell on Liu Chen's face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The old slave is specially welcoming His Royal Highness King Canglan into the palace by His Majesty's royal order, what does the Hou Ye need to order?"

The old manager put his attitude very low, the chamberlains are like this, most of them are snobbish, but when this object has become the only patron saint of the royal family today, plus a heavy soldier and a powerful Canglan King, this chief manager does not dare to go beyond the slightest, from beginning to end, he is respectful and good.

"I don't dare to take orders, the old man just hasn't seen the little girl for a long time, and he is quite worried in his heart, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Canglan entered the palace today, and the old man is waiting here, taking advantage of the wind and sunshine, I want to talk to the prince, I don't know if the chief manager can make it convenient?"

"Convenient?" Manager Liu smiled for a while, in fact, he was very anxious, when he went out, the emperor had ordered, time was pressing, he had to quickly take King Canglan into the palace, he didn't think about it, and he also killed a trip to bite the gold halfway, what Lao Shizi misses his daughter, nonsense, recently I have heard the nobles in the palace say every day, half a month ago, Concubine Canglan returned to the house to visit her family, and the treasures she carried were enough to load more than ten carriages!

These days, the news that Xu Yuyao brought a heavy treasure to the Champion Hou Mansion has spread all over the imperial capital, and all the noble ladies have gone up to the imperial concubine and the emperor, down to the ordinary daughter, but they are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and the big guys only hate Liu Chen, who loves not themselves! People also say that in today's Canglan County Mansion and the Imperial Capital General's Mansion, Xu Yuyao is a word, so favored, at the beginning, he ridiculed Xu Kun for sending his daughter to Liu Chen as a wife, and now they all regret it and have a toothache......

"Lao Tzu is convenient for you, who is so mother-in-law to give me convenience!" The chief manager smiled on his face, and secretly slandered, of course, he complained and complained, he was still very interested in taking the attendants quietly away, and after a while, only Xu Kun and Liu Chen's son-in-law were left on the long bridge.

"Father-in-law!" When the crowd walked away, Liu Chen smiled and arched his hand very respectfully.

"The virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite, the old man is here to congratulate the virtuous son-in-law on getting the leader again, and the reward of the demon domain was sent to the imperial capital more than a month ago, which is a grand event for the whole country to jubilant!"

"Hehe, my father-in-law praised it, and my son-in-law is just lucky!"

"Don't be modest about the virtuous son-in-law, don't you know that during this time, when the old man is facing down, his waist is straighter than before, hehe, this is all stained with the light of the virtuous son-in-law!"

"Hehe!" Liu Chen shook his cheeks with a smile without smiling, and he really couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, obviously he had something to do with himself, but this cheap father-in-law insisted on waiting for himself to speak first, as for it, this Tai Chi was beaten, but it was more than Yunyang's real Niu Fork. Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chen really didn't want to grind, so he smiled bitterly at the moment, shook his head and said: "I said old man, don't use your sleek routines of political struggle on me, it's weird, if you have any orders, you just say, if you can do it, the son-in-law will not refuse!"

"Uh......" Xu Kun's face was smiling, he almost turned his back in one breath, his face was red and white for a long time, and he rolled his eyes and complained to Liu Chen angrily: "Why, do you talk to your father-in-law like this? King Canglan is amazing, the old man is sleek, what's the matter? If the old man is not tactful, can your daughter-in-law be so smart?"

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law has taught me a lesson, and my son-in-law has apologized to you this time!" bowed very exaggeratedly, Liu Chen smiled and waited quietly for Xu Kun to continue to speak.

"You...... What kind of attitude do you have!" After struggling for a moment, Xu Kun sighed bitterly, spread his hands and said, "Forget it, let's make a long story short!"

"Father-in-law, please command, son-in-law listen!"

"That's it!" Smacking the corners of his mouth, Xu Kun subconsciously looked left and right for a while, and then lowered his voice and approached Liu Chen and said, "There is a fight in the west, do you know?"

"I know, Bai Yujing and the state religion have rebelled, and the barbarians have also taken the opportunity to seize Langzhou!"

"Let's talk about it, from the Wude period to the present, this battle is still fighting, but you also know that fighting a war costs money!"

"What does father-in-law mean is that he needs money?" Liu Chen suddenly realized, and after being relaxed, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Son-in-law is not short of money here, to tell the truth, as long as the father-in-law doesn't open his mouth, I can take out the general amount......"

Hearing Liu Chen say this, Xu Kun's face suddenly had a hint of joy, but before he had time to be too happy, Liu Chen wanted to speak and stopped: "It's just that this Langya Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the military expenses required are all allocated by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

“......”

Xu Kun's face changed, as if he wanted to say something, the words came to his mouth, but he struggled to speak, staring at his uncertain face, Liu Chen's heart was full of doubts, and he didn't urge, and the two of them fell into silence again......

In the distance, Mr. Liu, who had been pacing back and forth, was already sweating profusely, and the sky was gradually darkening, these two sons-in-law were really endless, I hope that His Majesty would have known the situation here, otherwise, this hanging, he would be inevitable! Fortunately, when he walked out of the general's mansion just now, His Royal Highness King Canglan rewarded him with a large bottle of Na Yuan Dan, thinking about it like this, he didn't feel a loss......

"Alas!" After thinking about it for too long, Xu Kun made up his mind in his heart, gritted his teeth, and suddenly raised his head and frowned: "I'll tell you the truth, since your father's incident, the empire's military system has been reformed immediately, and the first to bear the brunt is the old department of King Wucheng stationed in Yinyang Pass, as well as the old man's Langya Guard!"

"......" Liu Chen squinted his eyes and didn't speak, but listened to Xu Kun's words very carefully.

"In the first year of the Apocalypse, Great Xia began to implement the privatization of the army, except for the Yulin Army commanded by the Son of Heaven and the Jin Wuwei that Emperor Gaozu has left behind, the other military horses are all independent, that is to say, King Wucheng's Zhenbei Army has been King Wucheng's private soldiers since then, and Langyawei has also become the private soldiers of my Xu family, since they are all private soldiers, then the military salary and grass, the treasury is only symbolically given 100,000 yuan per year, and the princes' army...... Tell me, my marquis's fiefdom is also a small city, and a small city is just that, in the past ten years, all the military salaries of Langya Wei have come from Langzhou, but it has been occupied, so that 200,000 Langya Wei soldiers rely on the 100,000 yuan given by the household department every year?

"Privatization of the army!?" ignoring Xu Kun's bitterness, Liu Chen's eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't understand the emperor's policy in his heart, even if it was the way of the world now, the princes were centrifuged, and they listened to the edict or not, but the privatization of the army was clear, which was against the ancestral teachings!

"These things, the old man will tell you in detail in the future, now, Langya Wei urgently needs three million money, do you have it, the old man can give you an IOU!" (To be continued.) )
