Su Xinyi had mentioned the matter of the caravan to King Rong before. When the matter was brought up this time, King Rong was still a little hesitant. New 𝟲𝟵Book Bar→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He looked at Su Xinyi suspiciously, always feeling that she was tricking him, but he had no evidence, so he asked tentatively: Why do you have to find me? Can't you find the prince?

Su Xinyi felt choked in her heart. If it wasn't for the fear that the Queen would interfere with her and use hidden means to hold her back, she actually didn't want to drag King Rong into the water. Besides, in this matter, she was using King Rong's name to hold the Queen back. It's a dirty hand, but if things really come to pass, King Rong will also take credit.

She felt confident when she thought of this, looked at him and said: You said before that we have a friendship to fight side by side. When such a good thing happens, I will naturally think of you first. Besides, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince of a country, , Of course we need to ask His Highness for help in such a big matter, but it would be a big deal to ask His Highness to come forward before the caravan has been established.

King Rong's brows jumped and he said angrily: What do you mean by this? Is it not making a fuss about my feelings?

Isn't he just one step lower than the prince?

He was so angry!

Why are you so angry? Listen to what I have to say. Su Xinyi looked at King Rong and continued to lie, Good iron is used on the edge of a knife. Think about it, if our caravan is completed, what will it cost in this year? How much money can we make? If we can really get the maps of the tribes outside the Great Wall, how much credit will it be? Whether it's the Tatars or the Oaras, they will have to go to war with Southern Qi sooner or later if their ambitions don't die. By then, you say we have a lot of things in our hands. Important? This is a huge achievement. Look from a distance, and a man should not care about it.

King Rong thought these words were quite pleasant, but he also felt that something was wrong. He thought about it seriously, turned to look at Su Xinyi, and was so angry that he wanted to slam the table, You are so treacherous, you are just trying to draw a pie out of thin air. I really won’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse until that day.”

It took Gou Jian ten years of hard work and courage to achieve hegemony. Your Highness will not be able to wait for just one or two years, right? Su Xinyi sneered.

He knew that Su Xinyi was trying to provoke the general, but Prince Rong just couldn't swallow it and said angrily: Don't provoke me. If you have the ability, let the prince go.

As you said, you and I will join forces to form a caravan, and His Highness the Crown Prince will tell you the truth. In comparison, which one of you is more risky?

Do you really dare to say that the prince agreed to you? King Rong didn't believe it. Who would be willing to do such a stupid thing? Even if the prince had some friendship with Su Xinyi, he wouldn't be chased and impeached by the censors because of her. .

The mutual market has been closed for a long time. If Su Xinyi's caravan wants to cross the border to do business, it will be equivalent to jumping on the court's laws. Wouldn't those old guys in the court who talk about benevolence, justice and morality jump to their feet?

Su Xinyi felt slightly relieved after hearing this, but with a look of sadness on his face, he sighed softly, According to what the prince said, I am just fanciful. I just want to do something practical and let the border army and The lives of the people in the border towns are easier. If we want to figure out the map outside the Great Wall, we don’t have to be passively beaten. We can take the initiative when we have the right opportunity. That’s when I came up with this method. Although it is a bit illegal, it is the only one I can think of. If the prince says it can't be done, then forget it. Speaking of which, I am just a little girl, so I can't get involved in the important affairs of the government, but I am superfluous.

Su Xinyi was so aggressive that King Rong felt that he had to suppress her authority and confront her at every turn. However, he felt a little embarrassed when she showed such a frustrated display of weakness and felt that he had gone too far.

Su Xinyi was right. How much benefit could she get from doing these things? At most, she could only earn some money. The biggest benefit was from the court, and what was from the court belonged to their family.

It's not impossible... King Rong coughed lightly, Let me think about it, you can't think of those old men in the court as too much of a gentleman. You can't talk about this in the court, you have to do it quietly.

Su Xinyi thought that she knew, but if she didn't say so, how could King Rong take the initiative to help, so she immediately looked surprised, Can't you say it in the court? But such a big matter cannot be discussed by the court?

What are you talking about? This is not a mutual market. Besides, although the mutual market is closed, you don't know that there are caravans going back and forth in private. King Rong sneered. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated.

The word profit comes first, and some people are not afraid of losing their heads.

What should I do? Su Xinyi asked humbly for advice, Your Majesty knows that I grew up in the countryside and don't understand the affairs of the court.

King Rong also had a headache, but it was rare for him to encounter Su Xinyi's shortcomings. Of course, he could not show his timidity and immediately said: Let me think about it, there must be a way.

There is a way, a ready-made one. As long as he joins forces with the prince, this matter will be much simpler.

Such a big movement must not be hidden from the prince's eyes, and Su Xinyi didn't want to hide it from the prince. If he wanted to act safely, the best way was to be embarrassed with the prince... Bah, joining forces with the prince is the best way. .

However, it was a bit embarrassing for him to go to the prince to actively seek peace, and he couldn't lose his face.

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here.

King Rong was stunned and stood up immediately, Who? The prince?

Yes, His Highness has entered the main entrance.

King Rong glanced sideways at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi immediately understood King Rong's eyes, thinking that she had negotiated with the prince.

I haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince since I returned to the city yesterday. Su Xinyi said immediately.

King Rong withdrew his eyes and walked out. When the prince arrived, he, his younger brother, had to greet him respectfully.

Su Xinyi followed King Rong out. After passing through the second door, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing under the flower tree in the front yard with his hands behind his back. The sparse shadows were slanted and the broken light was clear. At a glance, people immediately forgot that this was In the war-torn border town, it's like an immortal king has descended to earth.

Brother, why are you here all of a sudden? King Rong hurriedly stepped forward to greet me with a smile on his face. His words were a bit rude, barely a direct rebuke. It was rude for you to come quietly.

Su Xinyi's eyebrows jumped when she heard what King Rong said. She said nothing and stood silently aside after seeing the ceremony.

In the past, she would definitely have taken the initiative to say hello to the Crown Prince, but today it involved major business matters, especially since she had not spoken well to Prince Rong before and now acted like she was very familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince, wasn't this trying to undermine herself?

The prince turned around and looked at King Rong, who had a stiff smile, and then looked at Su Xinyi, who was especially silent today. His gentle face softened slightly, and then he spoke slowly: I happened to be passing by here, so I stopped by to ask my seventh brother. Tell me when you plan to return to the capital.

King Rong didn't believe it. The prince had nothing to do and he wouldn't do such boring things. He wanted to retort, but then he thought about the caravan and asked the prince to help him, so he swallowed his words and gritted his teeth. Then he forced out a smile and said: Since the eldest brother is here, I just happened to have a meal here. The younger brother has something to discuss with the eldest brother.

The prince glanced at King Rong and said, Let's talk about it now. There is no need to eat. We are about to return to the city and there are still many things to do.

Su Xinyi felt tired for the two brothers when she saw how hypocritical they were. It was really no surprise that they had fought like this in their previous life. She felt that no matter what happened in the future, at least they couldn't break up right now, for fear that King Rong couldn't help but jump. , she had to hold her nose, stand up and smile at the prince, and said, I have something to ask His Highness for help...

Upon hearing this, the prince turned to look at Su Xinyi, Since he is seeking an orphan, why are he here with Prince Rong?

He was still the seventh brother before, and now he is King Rong. The smile on King Rong's face has disappeared.

Brotherhood is really as thin as paper.

Su Xinyi raised her head and glanced at the prince in surprise. This was the first time she had seen His Highness like this. It seemed a little... not quite right.

She was afraid that the prince had really misunderstood, and she just wanted to take advantage of Wang Rong and drag him into trouble to make the queen feel wary, not to make the prince suspicious of her.

She immediately explained the matter clearly and concisely. Of course, the emphasis was slightly different from the point of view when the prince said it. His Highness the prince's intelligence would definitely be able to hear it. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸𝑜𝓂

When the prince listened to Su Xinyi talking about this, he remembered that she had mentioned it once when he met her before, but they didn't have the chance to talk in depth due to lack of time. It turned out to be this.

The prince saw that King Rong's expression remained unchanged and said in a deep voice: The mutual market has been closed. It is absolutely impossible to reopen the mutual market under the current situation. It is illegal to do business. Have you ever thought about the consequences if this matter spreads? ?”

King Rong knew that the prince would say this. He had always been a hypocritical hypocrite, so he immediately said: Of course we don't stick to trivial matters when doing big things. We don't build the caravan to make money, but for the sake of the country. As the prince, how can I Are you holding back because of mere rumors?

Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong in surprise. When he faced the prince, his IQ instantly went up, and his attack power doubled.

The prince frowned slightly, looked at King Rong and said angrily: It's just nonsense and strong words. Do you dare to say this in the court?

Of course King Rong didn't dare. If he dared, why would he need to drag the prince into trouble?

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand it before, but when she heard the prince scolding King Rong, her mind suddenly lit up. She immediately stepped forward and said, His Royal Highness, the prince is right. It is precisely because this matter cannot be stated openly in the court, so My daughter asked His Highness King Rong for advice, and His Highness King Rong told my daughter that this matter is of great importance and that we cannot act rashly and that we need to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice.

King Rong:?

What kind of nonsense is Su Xinyi talking about? When did he say it?

Listening to Su Xinyi's words, the prince smiled deep in his eyes. Now he was smarter and knew how to use his words to set up King Rong. He continued to say with a straight face: Seventh brother, what Miss Sixth said is true. ?”

Prince Rong's tone could not change. How could he admit this kind of flattery to the prince? When did he need the prince to uphold justice when doing something?

However, thinking of the great cause of the caravan, I had to pinch my nose and admit it, gritted my teeth and said: It's true, brother, you know that the veterans in the court are very annoyed. If you want to accomplish this, of course you can't let them know. So we have to think of a comprehensive approach.”

After saying this, King Rong turned his head and glared at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi gave him an approving smile.

King Rong has a heart attack. What do you mean, slap yourself in the face?

Since the prince and Su Xinyi had a tacit understanding to hold up King Rong so that he could not easily escape from the matter, the matter of the caravan was seriously discussed.

King Rong's idea was quite simple, which was to form a caravan according to Su Xinyi's wishes and use Yulinwei's entry and exit pass, but as the discussions continued, more and more things were discussed, which became a huge headache.

For example, if you use Yulinwei to enter and exit, in a place as big as Yulinwei, the caravan must not be too small if it wants to go around the outside of the fortress. In this case, the defenders cannot see it unless they are blind.

It is not an easy thing to ask Yulin Wei to shut up and turn a blind eye.

Another example is setting up a caravan. Who should be included in the caravan? Should the prince add people, and should King Rong add people? What arrangements does Su Xinyi have for the caravan?

There are also traveling south to buy goods, traveling north to deliver letters, and how to hide the truth...

The matter was so complicated that King Rong had a headache. When doing things in the capital, all he had to do was give orders and everything would be fine. However, because this matter was not visible to the public, they had to discuss it themselves carefully and considerate everything. He did not know that it was so cumbersome and tiring.

It was several hours after a simple charter was negotiated. Rong Wang Gong sent the prince off and looked at Su Xinyi who was leaving with the prince. He regretted getting on this pirate ship.

On the way back, Su Xinyi was one step behind the prince. The two walked in tandem, with Pang Lan following at a distance with his guards.

Because robbing the enemy's food and grass was considered a great victory, the people in the city were joyful at this time. There were more people walking on the street than in previous days, and laughter and laughter could be heard everywhere.

Su Xinyi looked at the joyful smiles on the people's faces, and his tense heart slowly relaxed, and his steps slowed down slightly.

Yan Junchu took a few steps and suddenly felt that the person behind him was not catching up. He stopped, turned his head slightly, and watched her slow down and look sideways at the pedestrians in the distance, with a smile on her face.

He stopped, waited for her to walk in and asked, What are you laughing at?

Su Xinyi suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the prince's voice, and replied: Just seeing everyone happy makes me happy too.

The prince smiled slightly when he heard this, Really? It is indeed a happy thing.

Su Xinyi felt a little embarrassed when the prince said this. She was telling the truth, but to people who didn't know the truth, it sounded like she was quite hypocritical.

Your Highness, can the caravan thing work? Su Xinyi asked in a low voice.

Yan Junchu looked down at Su Xinyi's face, Whether it works or not, aren't you working hard to do it? If it doesn't work, you won't do it?

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, I don't know.

Oh? Why don't you know?

Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth?

Do we need to tell lies between you and me?

When Su Xinyi heard this, she raised her head and glanced at the prince. Seeing that he looked serious, she felt a little guilty. Of course she would not be as sincere to people as she was in her previous life. She was silent and then said: Although I really want to make it happen. This matter, but I also know that it is not easy. It is extremely difficult to get in and out of Yulin Guard. I will try my best to do it, but if this matter is really done and the Su family will be put in danger, I will give up.

After Su Xinyi experienced something, he knew that things in the world were not something he could do as he wished, and it was enough to try his best to do what he could.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi. She did not answer his previous question, but just picked up the previous topic. He lowered his eyes slightly, then nodded, That's true.

Su Xinyi smiled and said nothing more this time, falling silent.

Yan Junchu didn't say anything more, sent Su Xinyi back, and then turned around and went to the Yamen.

His residence in the city was given to Su Xinyi, and he settled directly in the Yamen and became neighbors with Zhu Pengzu.

Su Xinyi stood at the door and stared at the prince's leaving figure, pursed her lips, turned around and entered the door.

On the third day after Su Yi followed Yang Jin and led troops to pursue the enemy, it suddenly rained heavily. In the early morning, there was still sunshine breaking through the dark clouds. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the sky to darken, and layers of black clouds pressed down on the sky. It didn't take long. Big raindrops fell down with crackling sounds.

It had not rained for a long time. Even in the heavy rain, Su Xinyi could hear the cheers of the people.

This heavy rain may give the herdsmen on the grassland a chance to breathe. The heavy rain that lasted for half a day turned to light rain all night. The next day, a scorching sun rose in the blue sky.

After the heavy rain, the wind on the grassland became a little cooler. Guo Meng and Xiong Bingyuan joined forces. The sudden heavy rain made the road on the grassland muddy, making it unsuitable to continue the pursuit.

Brother Guo, what should we do now? Xiong Bingyuan coughed lightly and asked, squinting his eyes and staring into the distance.

Guo Meng sighed, The heavy rain came suddenly. We were not prepared. Many soldiers in the army were soaked by the rain. If we continue to chase like this, I'm afraid my body will be unable to bear it.

Yes, and the Tatars are familiar with this place. This rain has also erased the traces of their escape. It may not be a good thing for us to go deep alone. Xiong Bingyuan said meaningfully.

Guo Meng and him looked at each other. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that they could not chase. Although it was a pity, a heavy rain poured down on them. If they continued to chase, they were afraid that many people in their army would fall ill and fall. And because of this rain, the roads on the grassland are difficult to travel, and the follow-up food and grass cannot keep up. If the enemy comes back with a carbine, it is really hard to say whether they can win.

Just accept it as you see fit.

After the two discussed it, they ordered to turn back. Su Yi was under Guo Meng's tent. After getting the order, he immediately ordered people to break camp. Although he happened to be out of duty during the heavy rain yesterday, his companion who was exposed to the rain fell down when he came back, and was faint. There were some signs of fever, which made him very worried, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the order to return to the city.

They only walked for three days during the pursuit, but it took more than four days to return. Guo Meng and Xiong Bingyuan had predicted exactly what they expected. Many soldiers fell ill and fell down. After returning to the city, there was a rush of people on their backs. The doctors quickly received the order. Rush to the barracks.

On Su Xinyi's side, Han Qingling said after changing the medicine: Sixth girl, there is no need to change this medicine. The wound is healing very well. You should still not touch water recently. You should continue to pay attention to your food.

Su Xinyi nodded, Miss Laohan is here for me these days.

Han Qingling hurriedly said, Don't dare. She packed up her medical kit quickly and said, If Miss Six is ​​still feeling unwell, and you want the civilian girl to come over, you have to have someone go to the barracks to deliver the message. I will go directly to the barracks after I leave your place. .”

Su Xinyi was stunned, Go to the barracks?

Han Qingling nodded, The pursuing army returned to the city, and many soldiers fell ill due to the rain. Doctors were ordered to go to the barracks, and I want to help.

Is it great? Su Xinyi asked hurriedly.

We don't know yet, but since the army came back in time, it shouldn't be a big problem. Han Qingling picked up the medical kit, Sixth Miss has no other instructions, so the civilian girl will leave now.

Su Xinyi nodded and watched Han Qingling leave.

After she left, Su Xinyi was worried about her eldest brother, so she hurriedly went to see him. It was a coincidence that the two brothers and sisters met at the door.

Su Yi's armor was covered in dust. He was very surprised and surprised to see his sister. He looked at her and said, Why are you here?

Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother, and after seeing that he was still in good spirits, he said, I heard that you guys are back and I came over to check on you. Brother, are you okay?

It's okay. Su Yi said as he led his sister through the door. It happened to be rainy and I was not on duty, but many of the soldiers on duty that day were sick.

is it serious?

The two commanders made a timely decision to withdraw their troops and return to the city. It looks good now. Su Yi asked his sister to sit down and went to wash his face first, take off his armor and change his clothes, and then came back to talk to her.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, That's good.

Afraid of being greedy for merit and recklessly disregarding the safety of soldiers. Such things have not never happened. The results are naturally extremely tragic. The sick soldiers cannot be diagnosed and treated in time and the delay causes epidemics. It is really unbearable to look back.

Are you going back to the capital with me this time? Su Yi looked at his sister and asked, thinking about how to persuade her to go with him, This time all the Tatars' food and grass were intercepted, and it is impossible to attack again in a short time. Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guards, our team came with Commander Guo and will go back after the battle. As soon as I leave, it will be difficult for you, a close householder, to stay.

Su Xinyi's heart softened as she listened to her elder brother's careful persuasion. She smiled and said, Brother, I know.

Su Yi was also happy, You are so smart, I know I can't hide it from you. You have made a great contribution this time. I have already written a letter and sent it back to the capital. Your family will definitely be happy for you if they know it. Xinyi, this time the Tatars are short If we don’t have the time to make another mistake, it doesn’t make much sense for you to stay.”

Brother, I understand what you mean. Su Xinyi sighed inwardly. If she could successfully form a female military battalion according to the previous plan, she would be able to stay, but no one could have imagined that this robbery of food and grass would go so smoothly, and General Zhu Ordering an encirclement and pursuit in time, the Tatars suffered heavy losses this time, which indirectly broke her opportunity to take advantage of the situation to form a female military camp. I'll go back with you.

real?

The surprise came so suddenly, Su Yi couldn't believe his ears.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, However, there is still something I need your help with.

When Su Yi heard this, he looked at his sister, feeling anxious, and cautiously said, What's going on, tell me first and I'll listen.
