Ningxia City, King An's Mansion, King An's study. After sitting upright for a few cases, King An closed his eyes and pondered. Sun Jingwen below stood aside, not daring to disturb.

After a long time, King An slowly opened his eyes and said a little tiredly: "Jingwen! You are also the old man of King An's Mansion, you should know the importance of this painting to me and to Jiangshan Sheji, right?"

"Students know!" Sun Jingwen heard King An say this, and immediately echoed, "But now that the Yanchi area has been affected by the disaster, it has affected Ningxia, if we don't react quickly, it will lead to the instability of the people and the army in Ningxia, and I am afraid that the war in the front line Jiang General Bing will also be affected!"

"I naturally know this!" King An nodded heavily and said, "Then I only ask you, is this horse surnamed a rich businessman, is it really reliable?"

"Brother Ma was originally from Ningxia! Later, with the help of nobles in Beijing, he created a huge family business in the area of Beijing! He was devoted to goodness, and over the years, he often donated money to Ningxia for good deeds! If he hadn't had a friendship with him for many years, he would not have agreed to donate 10,000 taels and borrow another 20,000 taels. Hearing King An's question, Sun Jingwen carefully considered his words, "It's just that the amount is too big this time! The 20,000 taels he borrowed need to be pledged by our King An's mansion! It's a pity that our palace has no collateral worth 20,000 taels of silver except for the first emperor's ink treasure!"

"How did he react when you told him that the pledge was the Immortal Mobao?" asked King An.

Sun Jingwen replied: "Of course he is very happy, Brother Ma has great respect for the first emperor, and he is even more dedicated to the first emperor Mobao, but he also knows that we must not sell this first emperor Mobao, so he just wants to be able to feast his eyes, and when we save enough 20,000 taels to return him, he will return this painting." ”

"Okay," King An reined in his gloom and said slowly, "Since Mr. Sun believes in him, and I believe in Mr. Sun, then this matter will be done!"

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, I will vouch for Brother Ma here, if something goes wrong, I will bear it!" Sun Jingwen, as a confidant of King An, naturally knows what the price of King An's Mansion this time is, if he does not make a guarantee, I am afraid that King An will not easily agree.

"Okay, then let's do this first! You go to Zhi'er first, and I'll see if he is suitable for this mission!" Wang An heard Sun Jingwen say this, and immediately made up his mind.

Sun Jingwen retreated directly when he heard this, and after a short time, he led Zhu Zhi in.

In order to appease the resentment of the army, King An temporarily removed Zhu Zhi from his post as a supervisor and let him stay in Anwangfu to study and recuperate.

This time there was such a big event, King An thought about it, and the only person in King An's Mansion who could carry out this mission was Zhu Zhi except Zilong.

At that moment, after Zhu Zhi came in, he first gave a salute to King An, and King An slowly told Zhu Zhi about the disaster in the salt pond and the urgent need for relief.

He also told Zhu Zhi that he needed to escort a treasure into Beijing in exchange for 30,000 taels of silver to return to Ningxia for disaster relief.

Zhu Zhi listened to the whole story, his heart was extremely happy, because of the previous incident, he has been at home, reading books and writing poems every day, but where is what he wants.

This time, when he heard another opportunity, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "The child is willing to go!"

When Wang An heard this, he glanced at Zhu Zhi, and saw that between his eyebrows and eyes, he was full of joy, and after thinking about it in his heart, he understood.

I was displeased at the moment, and when I was about to speak, I heard a sound outside. "I'm here on the order of the prince, and I'm tired of the two of you!"

When King An heard this voice, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said directly: "Zilong, come in quickly!" The voice was full of surprise, obviously looking forward to Zilong's arrival.

After a while, Zilong pushed the door directly in. I saw that only King An was sitting behind the desk, Sun Jingwen was standing next to him and bowed his head silently, and Zhu Zhizheng was clenching his fists, obviously asking King An for orders.

After Zilong came in, he hurriedly saluted King An and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are ordered to come!"

When King An saw Zilong come in, his frowning brows were cheerful, and he said with a smile: "Zilong, you are here just in time, first of all, congratulations on finding your mother, I really didn't expect that your mother is actually the leader of the horse gang!

"Zilong thanked the prince! The prince also took a lot of care about my affairs, but neither I nor the prince thought that the master of the horse gang was my mother, and now that I think about it, it is like a dream!" Zilong said with emotion.

"Yes, it's really unpredictable, and this time the king is facing a challenge!" Wang An sighed.

"What's wrong, prince?" Zilong treated King An as a father, and when he heard King An say this, he couldn't help but worry.

"I just received a report, the Yanchi area has been affected, and now the victims are displaced and wandering around! Although this should be the business of the Ningxia government, but after all, Ningxia is my mining town, and the people are in trouble, but I, as a vassal king, can't help but do something!" King An said with a sad face.

When Zilong heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "The prince is merciful!" This is not Zilong's sycophancy, there is a Ming generation, there are countless vassal kings, in the mining of the city, without exploiting the people, you can be worthy of a virtuous king. And like King An, who always wants to save the people, not to mention unique, but there are not many.

"Okay, okay!" King An waved his hand and said, "Now the Ningxia Mansion has to report to the political envoy Si Yamen, and it takes a lot of time to come and go! I thought that I would do my best to prevent the people of Yanchi from suffering! But in this king's palace, the treasury is empty, and there is not much money and food, so it is difficult to do!"

A penny is difficult for heroes, Zilong walks the rivers and lakes, and naturally knows the importance of this money.

If there was money, Uncle Zhu would not have died! Looking at King An's sad face, Zilong couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart.

Let him go into battle to kill the enemy, charge into battle, he can be a top two, without flinching.

But if he was asked to find a way to raise money, he could only be blind! After all, he was only a martial artist and did not know how to make money.

Fortunately, King An came to Zilong, obviously not expecting Zilong to raise money for him.

I only heard his words change sharply and said: "Later, Mr. Sun helped me contact a wealthy businessman surnamed Ma in the capital, this person was also from Ningxia, and he was willing to contribute to disaster relief! But he is a businessman after all, so he asked the king to pledge a treasure! He is willing to borrow 20,000 taels of silver, and then donate 10,000 taels!"

"And such a good rich businessman?" Zilong was puzzled, he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he had seen a lot of the pot-bellied rich businessman.

These people, because they are not scholars, do not have a high status, but they are very good at managing money and have gathered most of the wealth in the world.

It's just that Zilong thinks that these rich businessmen don't harm the township, even if they are benevolent and righteous businessmen, they are willing to invest in good deeds, not to mention no, but there are very few.

King An naturally didn't know what Zilong was thinking, but continued to say excitedly: "If there are 30,000 taels of silver, this disaster relief in the disaster area will not have to wait for the political envoy in Shaanxi to react!

"Why do you want us to escort the treasure into Beijing?" Zilong asked the doubt in his heart, since this businessman wants the treasure, he can directly exchange the money and bring it back!

King An did not answer Zilong's words, but tilted his head sideways, glanced at Sun Jingwen, and said: "This Ma Degui is Mr. Sun's old acquaintance, and it is because of Mr. Sun that he got on this line! As for Zilong's question, let Mr. Sun answer it!"

Sun Jingwen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said loudly: "Brother Ma is just a businessman, and he doesn't know martial arts! The treasure we want to take as collateral is extremely valuable.

Brother Ma is afraid that he will not be able to take care of himself, and if he encounters bandits on the road, he will be empty of both people and money!

After hearing this, King An nodded and said, "So when you enter Beijing this time, it's best to dress up in disguise, so as not to be discovered and attract strongmen to watch!"

It turned out that King An wanted to escort the baby himself and exchange it for silver taels.

Zilong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, this kind of thing also belongs to Zilong's strength.

At that moment, Zilong directly surrendered his hand and said: "Don't worry, Zilong will definitely take the baby into Beijing safely, and return from the rich merchant surnamed Ma in exchange for silver taels!"

"Well, you do something, I don't worry!" King An praised Zilong, and said, "That baby is very important, in order not to leak the news, you should go, don't bring any subordinates, otherwise if this matter spreads, my King An's Mansion will not only be unable to go to disaster relief, but I'm afraid that there will be a big disaster!"

"Don't worry!" Although Zilong didn't know what kind of treasure it was, he asked himself if he had his own ability, except for a few people in the rivers and lakes, there was really no one who could snatch the treasure from him.

"That's good!" King An couldn't help but relax as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and said to Zhu Zhi standing beside Zilong, "Zhi'er, you are inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, you have to listen to Zilong more here!

Zhu Zhi had always been worried that King An would not let him go, but since he was defeated and captured last time, Zhu Zhi has been thrown into idleness.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to perform meritorious service, he is naturally enthusiastic.

Listening to King An's repeated instructions, Zhu Zhi also arched his hand and said: "The child must keep in mind his father's teachings and obey Xu Shoubei's arrangement!"

"That's not necessary!" Zilong smiled slightly and said, "The little prince is extraordinary in martial arts, and very smart, this time to protect the baby into Beijing, we will work together, no one listens to whom!"

"Okay!" Zhu Zhi didn't really want to listen to Zilong, but because of King An and Miao Ling, he felt that he would listen to it, but Zilong said so, and immediately complied with his wishes, he looked at Zilong with a grateful face, and said, "Then we don't care about the size, whoever is right will listen to whom!"

"Just according to the little prince!" Now that Zilong recognizes Miao Ling, and knows that Zhu Zhi is pursuing Miao Ling, his attitude towards Zhu Zhi has eased a lot at the moment. In addition, he had already talked to Wan'er, so naturally he didn't want to be embarrassed by Zhu Zhi anymore.

After the two finished speaking, King An said again: "This treasure is extremely important to King An's mansion and the imperial court, I don't allow this treasure to be missed, and you can't go to see what this treasure is, understand?"

When the two of them heard this, their hearts jumped, and they immediately arched their hands and said, "My subordinates understand!"

At this time, Wan'er rushed in, first greeted King An, and then asked Zilong, "What, the task is already known?"

"Well, let's go out and talk about it!" Zilong nodded and whispered.

After Zilong came out, he told Wan'er everything.
