After Xu Zian read the letter, he was not annoyed at all, and said with a light smile, "Why is your lord bothered?"
"Ning Yuan Peiming knows that he just lost [-] cavalry, and that Ning Qianjun is in our hands, but he keeps approaching Leizhou City. He is clearly very confident."
Li Yuanze said slowly: "Of course, I still have my cards, but even if I can defend Leizhou City, my vitality will be greatly damaged by then, and my hard-working family will be gone. Can I not be distressed? well……"
"My lord." Xu Zian smiled slightly, "I don't want the child to be tied to a wolf, Li Xiao will give it to him if he wants it, in short, resolve the current crisis first."
"That's all." Li Yuanze sighed.
The [-] army is his last hole card.
If it is lost, there will be no right to speak, and it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
So far, is it still necessary to raise money?
Li Yuan couldn't help looking at Chen Wenyu who was standing beside him.
Chen Wenyu is the highest-ranking civil official in Leizhou, responsible for helping him with all the government affairs in Leizhou.
Seeing Li Yuanze's gaze, Chen Wenyu smiled wryly, and said, "My lord, after the previous two fundraisings, the counties and counties really can't afford the money and supplies."
After a pause, he continued: "The previous two subordinates also sold their property and took out all their savings, but if the prince needs it, the subordinate still has two acres of land at home..."
"Alright, alright!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanze said impatiently, "I'll figure out a way."
After finishing speaking, he shouted loudly: "Come on!"
The housekeeper of the palace immediately came forward: "What is your order?"
"There should be dozens of acres of land and dozens of shops under my name, and they have all been sold!"
Li Yuan said weakly: "Also, go to my study, you can look at it, and sell all the valuable things."
"This……"
The housekeeper gave a wry smile, cupped his fists and said, "Old slave obeys."
"and also……"
Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "Go to Madam, she should still have a few boxes of jewelry, and give them to Li Xiao."
The housekeeper suddenly showed embarrassment: "I'm afraid Madam won't agree..."
"Whether she agrees or not? Just do as I say!" Li Yuan said angrily.
"As ordered!"
After the butler left, Li Yuan looked at Xu Zian: "Sir, there is only so much we can make up."
After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "This Li Xiao's young heart is probably also sad about the level of beauty. In this way, I will choose ten beauties for roles from my Leizhou."
"Um……"
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanze said again: "With the addition of 200 other craftsmen, blacksmiths and tailors, this should be enough, sir?"
Xu Zian pondered for a while, nodded and said: "This is enough to express the sincerity of the prince. These craftsmen and blacksmiths, the prince might as well install a few people who are loyal to the prince."
Hearing this, the corners of Li Yuanze's mouth curled up, showing a wretched smile: "That's exactly what I mean!"
Xu Zian also smiled, and the two looked at each other, tacit understanding.
What is the purpose of inserting your own people in?
It's not because of the casting process of Li Xiao's terrifying weapon.
As long as he can get such a thing, no matter how much he has to pay...
Enzhou.
On the remote road, Xiang Jun and Lin Yang rode horses and galloped all the way.
"No! No! Take a break!"
Xiang Jun stopped cursing, then got off his horse.
"Persevere, we will soon arrive at Duling City."
Lin Yang frowned at Xiang Jun who refused to leave.
"I'm starving to death. I'll accompany you on this journey. You gave the horses the remaining food. I just ate some wild fruits. I really can't bear it anymore." Xiang Jun said resentfully. Said.
Lin Yang said angrily: "There will be food soon, what's the hurry?"
You know, in order to save food, he left Linley behind and did not bring him over.
"I knew there would be no good end to following you. I came to Enzhou with you because I was blind." Xiang Jun complained.
Suddenly, at the three-way intersection ahead, a figure appeared on one of the roads.
An old man walked over slowly, leading a yellow ox and pulling some goods behind him.
Seeing this, Xiang Jun's eyes lit up, and he turned his wrist, and a dagger suddenly appeared.
He stared at the scalper closely, and couldn't help but licked his lips.
Just when he was about to move forward.
Lin Yang suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.
"Since you're here with me, you have to follow my rules."
Lin Yang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble!"
"Are you worried about leaking the news?"
The corner of Xiang Jun's mouth curled up, and he said casually: "Isn't it enough to kill people and silence them?"
"no!"
Lin Yang firmly opposed it.
"are you not hungry?"
"No matter how hungry you are, you must have principles." Lin Yang said firmly.
"Yo?"
Xiang Jun looked at Lin Yang in surprise, and said sarcastically, "You still have principles? Why didn't you say that when we stole the horse?"
With calm eyes, Lin Yang said slowly, "Two horses are nothing to a wealthy family."
"But this cow is all he has. If we slaughter it and eat it, he won't be able to live."
After a pause, Lin Yang continued: "Get on the horse, come with me, there will be something to eat in half an hour."
After speaking, Lin Yang took a step forward and rushed forward.
Xiang Jun looked at Lin Yang's back with deep meaning, then got on his horse and chased after him.
After half an hour.
The sun sets, and dusk falls.
Next to the old tree, there is a small courtyard.
A few dilapidated thatched houses seem to be old.
A blind man was busy doing something in the yard.
Although his eyes were blind, it didn't affect his actions at all.
At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.
The blind man paused and his ears moved.
Outside the courtyard, Xiang Jun and Lin Yang got off their horses.
The moment he saw the blind man, Lin Yang suddenly stopped, as if he was quite moved.
Xiang Jun looked around the small courtyard, saw the blind man, and immediately sneered, "Is this the principle you mentioned?"
He continued with a sneer: "No matter how evil and inhuman I am, I just want to take advantage of scalpers, and I won't bully disabled people. It seems that you are more beastly than me."
Lin Yang stared at the blind man closely, didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.
In the yard, the blind man also heard Xiang Jun's words, but he didn't see the slightest sign of fear, he just smiled and shouted to Kong: "You two are good men, the house is simple and shabby, and there is nothing valuable."
After a pause, the blind man said neither humble nor overbearing: "If the two heroes are hungry and thirsty, I can take out food to entertain you two."
"There's no need to entertain, we can just get it ourselves," Xiang Jun said.
Then he entered the yard and went straight to the thatched cottage.
The blind man paused, then shook his head slightly: "You have come to the wrong place."
After finishing speaking, the blind man opened his posture and punched Xiang Jun.
Judging by his actions, he is very experienced, and it is not at all the force that ordinary people can have.
"Ok?"
Xiang Jun was taken aback for a moment, just about to make a move.
There was a "pop", and a hand stretched out from behind, firmly catching the blind man's fist.
Lin Yang didn't continue to attack the blind man, but said with a sigh of relief: "Ding Wu, after so many years, are you okay?"
Chapter 360: Sending away the beggars!
Hearing this, the blind man who wanted to continue attacking suddenly trembled, with an unbelievable look on his face.
"Is that you? General Lin?"
The blind man trembled with excitement.
"it's me."
Lin Yang sighed.
"Feng Ziying horse archer Ding Wu, knock on the general!"
The blind man couldn't help but knelt down on one knee towards Lin Yang.
In the already blind eyes, there were actually two lines of tears.
"My brother, why are you so polite?"
Lin Yang was also quite touched, his eyes full of vicissitudes.
Xiang Jun on the side looked at the scene where the two recognized each other, with a strange look in his eyes.
After a while, in the hut.
Xiang Jun and Lin Yang sat at the table, gulping down the food brought by Ding Wu.
After Ding Wu put down the two jars of wine again, he went to the corner of the wall, patted the ground for a while, and took out a small bag from under the floor tiles.
He walked over, handed the bag to Lin Yang, and said, "General Lin, there are only so many. I'm old and useless. I've lived on hunting for so many years, and my savings are only a few taels of silver. I hope the general will not hold you back." .”
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yang was taken aback.
Since he came in, he hasn't mentioned money.
But Ding Wu smiled lightly and said: "Although the general won't say anything, I know the general will definitely need this money, so you can take it, mine is the general's."
Hearing this, Lin Yang only felt the tip of his nose sore, and a warm current surged from his heart.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Even though life is difficult, he is willing to give him his savings for many years. He can't repay this kindness.
At this time, Xiang Jun snatched the money: "Not bad, not bad, Lin Yang, I didn't expect you to have such a brother, it's really impressive!"
Lin Yang took a deep breath and said to Ding Wu, "I will accept the money, thank you."
"General, you don't have to be polite to me."
Ding Wu smiled, and then asked nonchalantly: "By the way, how is the old prince?"
Hearing this, Lin Yang paused, and then said: "My lord is an official in the capital, everything is fine."
"I can rest assured that."
