The Phantom is gone.

After Xue Xichen sent Phantom away, she returned to her room in the backyard of Xiaoyao Building, washed briefly, changed into clean clothes, and got up to look for Xiao Liuyue.

As soon as he approached the door, he heard the voices of Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi coming from inside the door. Xue Xichen was surprised. He didn't expect Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi to gather in Xiao Liuyue's room early in the morning. What happened in Beijing?

Then he thought about the theft of military rations mentioned by Phantom, and he had a solid idea.

I'm afraid it's because of this matter!

He reached out, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The three people sitting around the table who were discussing enthusiastically shut up immediately when they heard the door ring, and looked at the open door with three pairs of eyes.Seeing Xue Xichen stepping in with her skirt up, Xiao Liuyue joked, "I knew it was you! You are the only one who has no rules in Xiaoyao Building!"

"Aren't you whispering something, can't I still listen?"

Xue Xichen unceremoniously squeezed between Xiao Liuyue and Feng Qingge, pulled a stool and sat down, declaring her right to know, "Is there anything you can't whisper to me?"

"No."

Xiao Liuyue smiled, flipped the lid of the teacup, and poured Xue Xichen a cup of hot tea.Xue Xichen wasn't too polite, holding it warm and comfortable in her palm.Xue Xichen looked at Leng Junyi who was looking at her, then at Feng Qingge who suddenly looked away, her chest was slightly stagnant, she turned to Xiao Liuyue, and asked: "Brother, are you talking about the theft of military rations?" matter?"

"Oh? You know?"

Xiao Liuyue was a little surprised.

"Yeah! Tingying mentioned!" Xue Xichen nodded, propped his chin on the table with one hand, tilted his head to look at Feng Qingge, and asked curiously, "But, he didn't make it clear? What's going on? Feng Qingge , haven’t you already sent Phantom to investigate?”

"We don't know the specifics."

Feng Qingge remained silent, and Leng Junyi interjected, "The day before yesterday, Qingge suddenly received a letter from Feige from the front line, saying that the military rations were stolen in Qingjin Mountain while being escorted. There were corpses strewn all over the scene, and the hill was stained with blood. , None of the soldiers who escorted the food and grass survived. Qing Ge has sent Ying to investigate, and we are here to listen to Young Master Xiao's opinion."

"The biggest victims of the theft of grain and grass are the soldiers at the border." Xue Xichen said, "It's winter, and the climate at the border is very cold. There is no food, and there is a lack of cotton-padded quilts to keep out the cold. I am afraid that this batch of military supplies escorted this time is for the soldiers to spend the winter. use?"

"That's right! Now that the military rations have been stolen, we don't know where to find such a large amount of supplies. If we can't find this batch of military rations, how will the border soldiers survive the winter..."

Involuntarily, Leng Junyi let out a long sigh, his love for the soldiers and his concern for the army were beyond words.

Xue Xichen asked: "Can you send another batch at the emperor's request?"

Feng Qingge opened his mouth and replied: "I have already written the paper, and I will send it to Beijing in a hurry for eight hundred miles. However, even if Feng Longxiang receives the paper, he will not agree,..."

Xue Xichen was silent, understanding what Feng Qingge meant.

Feng Qingge's brave, fearless and loyal iron cavalry is Feng Longxing's big taboo. If there is such a good opportunity to weaken Feng Qingge's power, how could Feng Longxiang not grasp it well!

Leng Junyi glanced at Feng Qingge, "In this way, we can only raise food and grass among the people..."

"If you raise food and grass among the people without an imperial decree, it's tantamount to treason..." After a pause, Xiao Liuyue said, "This is a serious crime of beheading! Maybe Feng Longxiang is waiting for you to do this!"

Leng Junyi was silent.

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either, so what exactly is going to happen!

Xue Xichen didn't feel a headache. She propped her chin and thought silently, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "What if the government doesn't come forward, but the people raise funds spontaneously? It's like a patriotic businessman who feels the suffering of border soldiers and specially gives them money." Send food, clothes and quilts for the winter,..."

Folk?

Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi looked at each other. It's not that they haven't thought about it, but they just don't know where to start. ...

Feng Qingge cupped her hands and said to Xiao Liuyue: "Liuyue, can you use the power of Wushuangmen..."

Before Xiao Liuyue could answer, Xue Xichen shook her face and said, "Why does Wushuangmen need to come forward for such a trivial matter!"

"Oh?" Feng Qingge was surprised when she heard the words, "Could it be that Mother Xue has connections?"

"Ah... this..."

Xue Xichen winked at Feng Qingge, and smiled mysteriously, "Please also ask the prince and General Leng to accompany me to Tiansheng Casino!"

"Gambling house?!"

Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi looked at each other, puzzled.

"Mother Xue, are you going to the casino?"

"Go!" Xue Xichen raised her eyebrows and smiled, and answered as a matter of course, "How can you make money if you don't go to the gambling house!"

……

Xue Xichen and his party came to Tiansheng Casino in a mighty way. In the casino, there were shouts, shouts, sighs, the sound of throwing money, the man's bold roar, and the woman's sobbing moans, all kinds of sounds blended together , stimulated the blood in the body to boil, especially the cheers after the victory, which made people wish they could throw themselves on the table and throw down a handful of money.

Xue Xichen's clear and beautiful purple figure walked in, her bright eyes looked around and shouted at the crowd, and the corners of her lips curved into a sly smile. In this crazy environment full of people's voices, there was a sense of immortality. The posture of the first son.

Feng Qingge followed closely beside her and walked in, her red and enchanting figure was noble and graceful, she just stood there quietly, the powerful aura had already made the people nearby feel the natural and fatal oppression and hated it He was able to run away fiercely, not daring to get close to him at all.

Leng Junyi and Xiao Liuyue followed closely behind, one with firm eyebrows and cold handsomeness, the other with unrestrained attitude and lazy posture, extraordinary demeanor, self-contained, walking together with Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge would not be able to understand at all. Compared with them, it is as bright as a star.

They just appeared at the door, and immediately a young servant came up to meet them, and looked at them one by one in an instant.

From Xue Xichen sweeping over Feng Qingge, drifting towards Leng Junyi and Xiao Liuyue, and finally fixed on Feng Qingge, the servant decided that Feng Qingge was the master among them.Because Feng Qingge's clothing is expensive and the embroidery is exquisite, it is not from the hands of folk embroidery workshops at first glance.Coupled with the jade pendant and golden steps, his temperament is noble and outstanding, and he has the air of a king in his gestures. The servant believes that this person is either rich or noble, and he has a lot of background.

The little fellow asked Feng Qingge respectfully: "Young master, are you here to try your luck? Do you want to sit on it?"

In the gambling house, the lower part is the place where street vagrants play, and the picture shows a lively place, while the upper part is a quiet place for rich and noble people to gamble.

The four people in front of them were obviously not playing around.

Xue Xichen, who walked in front of Feng Qingge and was ignored by the servant, couldn't help rolling her eyes. She glared at the servant hatefully, and asked ferociously, "Hey——your eyes are growing on top of your head! The first person to come in was obviously me." , why did you ask him instead of me!"
