Batian Martial Soul

"why?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Do you know that the border officers have not received their military pay for five months, and with Xiong Guo's careful instigation, they will naturally betray, and there are quite a few betrayers..."

Ying Wuxia sighed.

"Is someone withholding military pay?"

Ling Xiao frowned.

He had encountered this kind of thing before, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

"Yes, Prime Minister Shen has the power, and his status has already surpassed that of Emperor Qin. My father has no ability to overthrow him. If the Lord of Ruoshui City is the student of Prime Minister Shen, he deliberately deducts military pay and makes the border officers miserable. I want to kill him, but as a princess, if I do it, the consequences will be disastrous."

When Ying Wuxia said these words, his murderous intention was overwhelming, but he was also a little helpless.

Once she kills the lord of Ruoshui City, she will inevitably break up with Prime Minister Shen. Then Prime Minister Shen will have reason to deal with Emperor Qin and establish a new emperor.

There is a powerful force behind her.

But there is also Prime Minister Shen, otherwise how could a mere prime minister of Qin have such huge abilities.

"But even so, we can get some military pay through other channels to help the emergency." Ling Xiao was puzzled.

"You don't understand Qin's current situation."

Ying Wuxia shook his head and said: "The Qin State has gradually lost control of the martial arts world since the position of the God of Martial Arts was no longer established.

Both the Zhan Zhan Academy and the Cao Gang came from forces outside the Qin State.

They controlled Qin's money and talents.

Prime Minister Shen took control of power.

There is too little left for the royal family.

Unless the Qinhe Gang to which the Cao Gang belongs is willing to help provide food and grass, the morale of the army will be unstable. Let alone winning, Ruoshui City will become the city of the Xiong Kingdom in a few days. "

"You are really rare. Even with such talent and strength, you still have a lot of helplessness."

Ling Xiao sighed and said, "Why not just leave? No one will blame you."

"No, I'll blame myself!"

Ying Wuxia shook his head and said: "As a princess of Qin and a general of Qin, if I can't change this situation and leave, I will feel uneasy. If I practice martial arts with such a mentality, it is impossible to achieve anything. Become a demon.”

"What is the strength of the Lord of Ruoshui City?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"It's not too strong, it's just the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

Ying Wuxia said.

"I'll kill him!" Ling Xiao said.

"Why do you do this? For me?" Ying Wuxia looked at Ling Xiao with some hope.

"I hate to see such a bastard City Lord!"

Ling Xiao's answer was not as thoughtful as Ying Wuxia's.

Ying Wuxia was slightly disappointed, but she soon returned to normal. She was a truly strange woman who would not lose her reason because of her children's affair.

Because she is not a love brain.She has her own pursuits and ideals.

"There's no rush in this matter!"

Ying Wuxia said: "Although the lord of Ruoshui City is a bastard, we need him to stabilize the morale of Ruoshui City's army right now, and he can't be killed. Come with me to see the leader of Ruoshui City of the Qinhe Gang. I'll go see him in person, and he should give me some advice." To save face, as long as you lend us some military pay, I am sure to win this battle."

"Alright!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Huh, what's the use of letting this kid follow? He's weak and likes to offend people."

Li An seems to have a lot of opinions on Ling Xiao, and he really targets him at every turn.

However, Ying Wuxia seemed too lazy to pay attention to his words, and directly grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and walked out.

The Qinhe Gang's branch is located not far from the General's Mansion, so it is easy to find.

The people from the Qinhe Gang were quite polite and welcomed the three of them into the hall.

A middle-aged man came out with a smile, clasped his fists and said: "I'm really sorry, Sixth Princess, but I have troubled you to come here in person, but if you come to borrow military pay, I really can't help it. Our Qinhe Gang is in business. , We don’t do things that don’t make money.”

He didn't even look at Ling Xiao, only bowed his hands to Ying Wuxia and Li An.

This person is Captain Zhang of the Ruoshui City branch of the Qinhe Gang.

He was wearing a dark green robe, which was embroidered with gold and silver threads, making him look magnificent.

The collar of the robe is inlaid with exquisite jade buttons, each of which seems to tell his wealth and power.The face is thin and the eyes are deep, like a hungry fox, shining with cunning light.

His nose is sharp, like a shrewd aquiline, sniffing out every possible business opportunity.There is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, and that smile is full of unfathomable charm.After years of ups and downs in the business world, the skin has become as thick and weather-beaten as a thousand-year-old tree.

His fingers are long and thin, like an accountant who is good at calculations and can dance the wind and clouds on the abacus.The pace is calm and steady, like a tiger wandering in the jungle. It looks leisurely but is actually full of power.

His voice is like a gurgling stream, melodious and magnetic, making people feel as if they are being hypnotized and being led by him unknowingly.

Wearing an exquisite bronze hat on his head, the hat is inlaid with a piece of crystal red jade, which seems to add a bit of enchantment to his cunning eyes.

There is always a necklace of precious pearls hanging around his neck. Each pearl is as smooth and bright as his heart.

He often holds an old and exquisite dry pipe in his hand. The pipe is like his wisdom. Although it seems ordinary, it hides endless mysteries.

Ying Wuxia frowned slightly and said: "Master Zhang, the salt business is a government business, and it was left to your Qinhe Gang. Moreover, your Qinhe Gang has never paid taxes to the Qin State, right? He once promised that if Qin was in trouble, he would do his best to help.

If Shuicheng is in crisis now, we are just borrowing some military pay, and it’s not like we won’t pay it back. Don’t you believe that I am Ying Wuxia? "

"Sorry, I can't make the decision!"

Captain Zhang shook his head and said: "Besides, the agreement between Emperor Qin and the Qinhe Gang was only verbal and not written down, so it cannot be taken seriously.

What's more, to say something ugly, so what if it's in writing and a contract is signed?
If the Qin State is asked to collect taxes from the Qinhe Gang, do you dare to collect them?
In this world, the weak prey on the strong. Even if I can trust you, Ying Wuxia, I cannot trust the Qin State. There are rumors outside that the Qin State is about to be destroyed. If Prime Minister Shen wants to usurp the throne, the Xiong Kingdom and the Xiaoyao Kingdom will help.

I'm afraid that by then we will be in vain and get nothing. "

Ling Xiao frowned, but didn't speak.

Ying Wuxia looked at Captain Zhang and asked: "Master Zhang is also from Qin. He should know what will happen if Shuicheng is captured, right? The Xiong Kingdom's army has always been cruel. There will be a massacre and many people will die. .”

"What does that have to do with me?"

Leader Zhang said disdainfully: "No matter how powerful the Xiong Kingdom is, he dare not touch our Qinhe Gang. Although I am from Qin, after the dynasty changes, I will still be me. As long as I am the leader of the Qinhe Gang, there will be no problem." Anyone dares to touch me."
