Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

"What happened to the second prince? Didn't he die at the border?"

"No, no." The man smiled mysteriously, "You don't know that the second prince of the Huns has surrendered to the enemy and treason. He defected to the Chu State, and is now leading the Chu State's army to the royal city!"

"Is there such a thing?" Everyone was stunned.

The man nodded and said in a very loud voice: "This is the news I got from the Xiongnu nobles. Just wait. In a few days, news of the Chu army attacking the Xiongnu will definitely come."

"Then what should we do?" The impatient man stood up immediately, his eyes full of urgency, "These days there are many crises in the royal city, my good friend disappeared quietly, and all his family property was robbed!"

"I can't leave now! Do I have to wait here to die?"

There is more than one person who is anxious. Although they are greedy, in the face of life, money is only an external possession. However, if they stay in the royal city, not only will their money be swept away, but their lives may also be taken away!

A tourist businessman sitting in the corner also looked very panicked. His mind was spinning rapidly. When everyone was panicking, he suddenly said: "Don't you think this is a bit strange? I heard that the tourists who died Businessmen are all salt merchants and tea merchants!"

"Yes! Master Huang has six carts of salt! And Master Qi also has three or four carts of tea!"

"Tea and salt...it's the time when the Huns are preparing for war..."

The man who was originally talking eloquently said this sentence quietly. Although he didn't explain it clearly, who here is not a human spirit?Just these few words were enough for them to realize the connection.

"They are killing the goose that lays the egg!"

"The Huns have no brains! By doing this, aren't they afraid that no more salt merchants or tea merchants will come to the Huns in the future?"

The traveling merchants were extremely angry, but panic had already arisen in their hearts.

Originally, they received preferential treatment from the Xiongnu based on the goods in their hands, but now that the Xiongnu is in turmoil, they want to slaughter them as fat sheep!

"How can the few carts of salt in Mr. Huang's hands alone be enough for the military? I'm afraid they have already set their sights on us."

I don't know who said this in the crowd, and the originally quiet tea house suddenly became boiling.

One by one, these traveling merchants can slip away faster than a rabbit.

Soon, the Hun nobles who came to the teahouse to have tea early in the morning discovered that the largest teahouse in the royal city was already empty.

At the same time, all the traveling merchants who were strutting through the city had disappeared.

Yeluhan quickly reported the news to Yu Wenxu.

"You idiot, Fourth Brother!" Yu Wenxu was so angry that he threw all the documents in his hand to the ground. He stood there panting heavily, his eyes filled with coldness, "Does he think that doing this will relieve the pressure on the military?" Is there a gap?"

"By doing this, he is clearly killing the goose that lays the goose! These traveling merchants are dead, who will dare to sell goods to us in the future?"

Yu Wenxu despised the Chu people from the bottom of his heart, and these traveling merchants were the kind of spineless people he hated the most. However, for the future of the Xiongnu, he had to treat these people he despised favorably, just for the sake of the steady stream of money in their hands. Constant cargo.

Yu Wenzheng's behavior now will undoubtedly make all his efforts during this period in vain!

"Idiot! Idiot!" Yu Wenxu's eyes were red. He wished he could find Yu Wenzheng right now and take off his head to see if it was filled with water.

"Khan, calm down!" Yelu Han quickly advised, "There is still a chance to make amends! If you don't go to appease those traveling merchants, I'm afraid you will lose your last chance!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenxu became furious: "The trouble he got into caused me to wipe his ass! It's really disgusting! Damn it!"

"Khan, don't worry, as long as we gather all the troops in his hands to our side, there is no need to spare his life."

"Whether you want to kill or behead me then, it will be up to you! But now..."

"Got it!" Yu Wenxu waved his hand impatiently, turned around and walked outside.

His steps were heavy and angry.

Seeing Yu Wenxu like this, Yeluhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was angry, he did not forget his responsibility, and he was still much better than the fourth prince.

……

At the same time, in the east of the royal court, Yu Wenzheng was sitting on a chair, eating meat and drinking wine, feeling very happy.

Since moving back to the royal court, he no longer needs to scrimp on food and clothing.

What does the life and death of the people outside the royal court have to do with him?What he wants is such a life of luxury and enjoyment.

At this time, the guard came in and announced: "Khan, Mr. Wu is here."

Hearing this, Yu Wenzheng moved his body, pointed his head at the wall, and said impatiently: "Just say that I am resting and let him come back later."

You don't need to think about it to know why Wu Zixu came here. Listening to Wu Zixu's great principles, his ears are about to get calluses.

Yu Wenzheng waved his hand, but the guard stood there awkwardly.

Seeing this, Yu Wenzheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the guard: "What? Is it possible that the words of my great Khan are not worthy of a minister?"

"Drag him down and kill him!" Yu Wenzheng's anger suddenly burned.

"I think this guard is just in trouble." Wu Zixu came in from outside. Facing Yu Wenzheng's anger, he didn't even blink his eyelids. He just said calmly, "After all, I have already arrived outside the door and saw the Khan here. How can he open his eyes and tell lies when he is eating, drinking and having fun?”

"Back off." Wu Zixu said to the guard.

The guard left gratefully and walked quickly, fearing that his life would be taken away by Yu Wen.

Seeing Wu Zixu, the impatience on Yu Wenzheng's face immediately turned into a flattering smile: "Second cousin, don't be angry, I just... I just suffered for too long and I couldn't bear it for a while."

Wu Zixu frowned, seeing the mess all over the palace, and said coldly: "It has been fifteen days since the Khan and the eldest prince reached a cooperation and moved into the royal palace. However, the Khan has been in the east hall all day long. , not involved in political affairs at all, aren't you worried that the eldest prince will take this opportunity to slander you?"

"Second cousin is here, aren't you?" Yu Wenzheng smiled pleasantly and poured a glass of wine for Wu Zixu himself. "Second cousin, you are here, and you will definitely take good care of them for me."

Hearing this, a sarcastic smile flashed across Wu Zixu's lowered eyes.

This is what Yu Wenzheng is like. When he can use people, he will use his clever words and tricks. When he can't use them, he will regard them as useless chess pieces.

"I'm scared." Wu Zixu knelt down and said in a low voice, "By doing this, I am exceeding my authority. Please ask the Khan to take back my order."

Yu Wenzheng quickly helped Wu Zixu up, his eyes full of sincerity: "Second cousin, if you don't help me anymore, then I really have no one to rely on."

"I believe in you, you can definitely deal with Yu Wenxu for me!"

However, Wu Zixu lowered his head, his rejection still very obvious.

Yu Wenzheng showed dissatisfaction: "Second cousin, since you keep saying that you are a minister, why don't you listen to me? I asked you to manage the army and all political affairs for me, do you still want to refuse?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu raised his head, his face full of astonishment. It was obvious that he did not expect Yu Wenzheng to say such a thing.

"Second cousin, do you want to disobey me?"

Yu Wenzheng was still asking, but in desperation, Wu Zixu could only sigh: "I obey."

Seeing Wu Zixu leaving dejectedly, Yu Wenzheng didn't feel any crisis at all. On the contrary, the smile on his face was extremely bright, and even the ordinary drinks at hand became delicious.

What he did was a combination of kindness and power, which was enough to scare Wu Zixu, but Wu Zixu had to help him deal with these troublesome things.

Thinking of this, the smile on Yu Wenzheng's face became even brighter. He quickly poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it happily.

The moment he walked out of the east hall, all the expressions on Wu Zixu's face disappeared. He became indifferent, and his servants lowered their heads in fear when they saw him.

Wu Zixu's back slowly straightened up, his pace became faster and faster, and he went straight out of the city.

……

Several carriages drove slowly into the royal city.

Looking at the workmanship and wood of these carriages, the people in the royal city could tell at a glance that these carriages came from the state of Chu.

"Looking at the deep ruts, I don't know what good things they are!"

"Could it be salt?" A woman asked with longing on her face, "The jar of salt at our house is almost empty, but we haven't seen any shops selling it yet. Now we only eat a spoonful of salt every three days at home."

Hearing this, the man on the side sneered: "You still want to buy salt in the store? Don't you know that all the salt has been taken away by the Khan? It is said to be used by the soldiers on the front line."

"It's all the fault of the second prince!" When the woman heard this, she complained, "If he hadn't betrayed the country and brought the Chu army to attack us, how could we not even buy salt? Although the salt before was expensive, it was After all, they are for sale! Now I don’t see any of them!”

When the two of them were talking, the wind blew up the curtains of the gorgeous carriage leading the way, and the handsome man inside came into their sight. In the man's arms, he was holding a person named Bi Huajiao. The beauty.

Just this glance is enough to make people unforgettable.

"That's really like a goddess!"

"Are all people in Chu State so good-looking?"

"That's not entirely true. I saw a few traveling businessmen with big bellies before. They are far worse than us Huns!"

There were a lot of discussions outside, but Gu Ning didn't take it to heart at all. She leaned in Xie Yan's arms and carefully looked at the scene outside the window.

Seeing the curiosity on her face, Xie Yan resisted the urge to press her hand and only warned in a low voice: "Although you are acting in a high-profile manner, you'd better not appear in front of others."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes immediately widened: "Why?"

Xie Yan smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the shallow wrinkles between Gu Ning's eyebrows: "Ning'er is so beautiful, it would be bad if someone stared at her."

"Yes." Gu Ning nodded, reluctantly lowered the car curtain, and whispered, "But if I don't go out with you, how can I show your dandyism?"

At this time, Chunyu stepped forward and took out the curtain hat.

Seeing the curtain hat, Gu Ning's eyes lit up: "I'll put this on and go out with you."

Before she came, she asked Yuwen Tuo and other Xiongnu soldiers carefully. The traveling merchants were given special treatment in the royal city. They acted very dissolutely and were always accompanied by one or two beauties. The more beautiful the beauties, the more capable they were. Show their financial strength.

Such a trend has even evolved to the point where every traveling businessman must bring a woman with him when he goes out to discuss matters. It is precisely because of this that Xie Yan reluctantly agreed to follow Gu Ning.

Xie Yan sighed inaudibly, but under the gaze of Gu Ning's clear eyes, he nodded slowly: "Okay, it's up to you."

Gu Ning put on the curtain hat, her delicate face was looming under the hazy curtain hat. She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yan: "Let's go quickly!"

The limelight is gone, and it’s time to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Thinking of this, she smiled slyly and took Xie Yan's arm.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's rest today. Just spread the news that we have a lot of salt, and someone will come to your door." Xie Yan held Gu Ning's waist and took her out of the carriage.

As soon as Xie Yan appeared in Manxiang Tower, he attracted many eyes.

These gazes are either sizing up, vigilant, or curious, and are projected from all directions.

Xie Yan's handsome face was full of disdain, and he walked into Manxiang Tower with a cold snort.
