"Your majesty has been obsessed with pills these years, and he doesn't care much about these important national affairs." Xie Yan replied, "You don't need to worry, the general. For the emperor, the stability of the border can solve his biggest concern."

Hearing Xie Yan's words, the smile on General Cai's face became more and more sarcasm: "The stability of the border is all due to the emperor's patience, and now the country of Yan is about to move the border stone to the market!"

Gu Ning rolled his eyes and heard the meaning of General Cai's words.

"So, the country of Yan has already taken action?"

General Cai was quite surprised by Gu Ning's words.

It was only then that General Cai looked at Gu Ning. Before that, he only regarded Gu Ning as a delicate and savage county lord, but he didn't expect that Gu Ning would speak at this time, and he said it right.

After a while, General Cai nodded: "These days, the Yan Kingdom has been making frequent moves, and has even taken away many people from the villages on the border between the two countries. I don't know what their intentions are."

Gu Ning held Xie Yan's hand subconsciously, and ticked Xie Yan's hand: "What do you think? Could it be related to Yan Yu?"

"Yan Yu? Isn't that the proton sent by the Yan Kingdom? Does he still dare to find some waves to make it happen?"

Xie Yan didn't speak, General Cai called out first.

"Yan Yu has already fled back to the country of Yan." Xie Yan pointed out, "He came to the country of Chu as a hostage this time for one thing, and he stayed in Yuezhou for a long time."

As soon as this remark came out, General Cai's desire to continue inquiring suddenly disappeared.

As if he wasn't the one who was wondering just now, he coughed a few times and said: "Master, my wife has prepared tea, why don't you go there and have a cup of tea first? It's freezing cold, I can't freeze you. "

Gu Ning blinked his eyes, his clear pupils reflected General Cai's smiling face like a brilliant chrysanthemum.

It wasn't until the smile on General Cai's face could hardly be maintained that she withdrew her gaze and said in a low tone: "I know, there are some things I can't listen to, if that's the case, then I'll go drink tea. "

Her words made General Cai break out in a cold sweat: "It's just some rude things to shout and kill. The county magistrate should not listen to these words."

"Okay, okay." Gu Ning waved his hand angrily, and followed the servants to the garden.

Until Gu Ning's figure disappeared, General Cai breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead: "This county lord is not a good friend."

"The general shouldn't have underestimated her." Xie Yan replied lightly, "She is not as ignorant as the general thought."

When General Cai heard this, he scratched his head: "I'm not confused by those rumors, who knows that rumors are not credible."

"I think so." Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak, he said on his own, "It is rumored that she has a deep love for the third prince, but it turns out that she has taken a fancy to you."

When Chu Yunyi was mentioned, Xie Yan's eyes had already sunk.

But General Cai didn't notice it at all, and he continued to say: "In my opinion, the third prince is no match for you, that is, the county lord was coaxed by his sweet words before, so so many things happened Come on, although this kind of man who only uses sweet words to deceive women is not a good thing, but you have to learn more, you can't let the county lord, this golden mountain, be deceived by others..."

"No." Xie Yan immediately interrupted General Cai's words, and emphasized his tone, "The county magistrate will not be coaxed away."

Even if she really wanted to leave...he wouldn't allow it.

Xie Yan's tone was heavy, which made General Cai stunned for a while.

After a long time, General Cai laughed: "Yes yes yes!"

Regarding the matter between Gu Ning and Xie Yan, he is happy to see it come to fruition. There is no stronger support than the Pei family. Even he can live in a corner in Beidu Protectorate, thanks to the protection of General Pei. .

Seeing that General Cai finally calmed down, Xie Yan said: "Yan Yu came to Yuezhou this time for the private treasury left by the emperor, he knows the location of the map."

Hearing this, the smile on General Cai's face disappeared without a trace.

"It's impossible!" He gritted his teeth, "We have destroyed all the records about the private treasury, even those craftsmen..."

"I'm afraid the general forgot that during the Qichen incident, many palace officials in the Tai Chi Palace escaped. I suspect that it was one of these people who informed Yan Yu of the map's whereabouts."

After a moment of silence, General Cai nodded: "That makes sense."

"The private vault..."

"The things have been transported back to the capital in secret. I have sent people to hide the rest of the gold and silver. After Jiang Qian leaves and Fang Chenghai is dealt with, I will have people bring the things to you."

"I also hope that the general will buy more war horses for me. The black cavalry is indeed a sharp weapon, especially when the two armies are at war, they are almost invincible."

Xie Yan spoke in a low voice, one by one, about his arrangements.

General Cai looked at Xie Yan with half respect and half relief in his eyes.

He patted Xie Yan on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Don't worry, the good breed of horses I bought from the Huns before have bred many horses, and they are all raised in the pastures in the mountains, enough to breed another horse. With 2000 black knights, and with the gold and silver you gave, it will be easy to train another thousand or two thousand black knights."

Having said that, he suddenly paused: "It's just that there are so many troops, and the daily food and drink cost a lot of money. Even if you have a private treasury to support them, how long can you keep them? This is not a long-term solution after all."

"I understand the general's intention." Xie Yan said in a slightly lower tone, "But even if the emperor can be torn from the throne now, as long as the Jiang family and his like are still in the court, the court will not be peaceful for a day."

"If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. I must clean up Chu's internal affairs and clean up the Jiang family, so that I can truly get back what belongs to me."

Xie Yan's words were so loud that General Cai, who had prepared a belly full of persuasive reasons, fell silent.

After a while, General Cai shook his head: "Forget it, since you've said so, I can't force you to make a fuss. Don't worry, I'll leave the matter of black cavalry to me. When you make a fuss, ten thousand black cavalry will be dealt with." Riding must be ready!"

"Thank you, General." Xie Yan said sincerely, "I cannot be what I am today without the help of General."

"I cannot be what I am today without the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince." General Cai waved his hand, "Since you are His Highness's only bloodline, you are the one I am loyal to!"

Xie Yan's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and those strange emotions were suppressed by him.

And at this moment, General Cai approached with a smile again, changing his serious expression just now: "You and the county magistrate...cough cough!"

Although he didn't say it clearly, the teasing smile in General Cai's eyes is enough for people to understand his unfinished meaning.

Xie Yan's fair and handsome face instantly flushed with a faint blush.

He clenched his fist and put it on his lips, and coughed lightly: "I am in love with the county magistrate, and it ends with courtesy, and there is absolutely no overstepping."

General Cai was disappointed, but under Xie Yan's gaze, he changed the subject with difficulty: "I didn't mean that!"

As he spoke, he yelled: "I just want you to seize the opportunity and never give up like the third prince! The Pei family is not easy to mess with! You can't damage the reputation of His Royal Highness!"

"General, don't worry, I will keep it in my heart." Xie Yan nodded, he will always be patient with an elder who cares about him like General Cai.

General Cai nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words: "That's right! I see that the county lord's little girl is eccentric, but she has a sincere heart towards you."

Xie Yan's eyes softened at this moment, as if thinking of something interesting, the smile in his eyes gradually expanded.

But at the next moment, he condensed his expression again: "If Yan Yu returns to the country of Yan, there may be changes at the border. It is better to resolve the dispute as soon as possible."

When this matter was mentioned, General Cai scolded his mother: "Fang Chenghai, who was born to a dog, has become more and more arrogant in the past few years. His men secretly bought tea and porcelain, and those traders simply bought tea and porcelain with him in order to avoid the taxation of the market. For the transaction, most of the vendors in the market are just going through the motions, they have given everything to Fang Chenghai's people, and what's more, they are still selling salt in private!"

Salt and iron are the foundation of the state of Chu. Yan and the Xiongnu are both short of salt. Without salt, they cannot go to war. With the Xiongnu, a tripartite situation was formed.

Now that Fang Chenghai smuggled the salt out, he was shaking the country's foundations!General Cai was very anxious, but because of the plan, he couldn't stop Fang Chenghai, and even opened the door for Fang Chenghai!

As General Cai spoke, his dark face turned livid: "I really wish I could finish him with a sword!"

"Bringing him up so well, is it possible that you have some idea?" General Cai looked at Xie Yan suspiciously.

Xie Yan didn't answer, but just wet his hands with tea and wrote a few words on the table.

Seeing this, General Cai's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Good idea!" He clapped his hands and said loudly, "If this can be done, let alone Fang Chenghai! The entire Fang family will fall! The Jiang family will also be implicated!"

In his tone, there was unconcealable gloating: "When shall we act?"

"They will take the initiative to come to the door." Xie Yan's thin lips slightly curled up, his eyes were cold, "It only needs to go up for another day."

……

In Cai Mansion's garden, the colorful flowers are in stark contrast to the withered and yellow branches outside the wall. Gu Ning followed the servants inside while admiring them carefully.

She knew that General Cai just wanted to send her away, if she didn't leave, she would be foolish.

If she comes, she will be safe, she can't go to see Mrs. Cai with a sad face.

When Gu Ning was admiring the flowers, there was a chuckle from the rockery in front of him: "The flowers in the yard are not worth the beauty of the county lord."

Gu Ning's eyelids twitched, looking at the handsome man in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

What about Mrs. Cai?How is it a man?Or a man like a peacock?
