Rongdi Military Camp

"boom!"

"Dangdang!"

Tuoba Jue kicked the table in front of him to the ground, and the tea cups, books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it were scattered on the ground.

He put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth with a gloomy look on his face.

"This palace worked so hard to transport that batch of grain and grass to Cangtong County, but it was still stolen in such a secret place? Who is it? Who did it?"

Qian Mo knelt down on his knees and blamed himself: "Your Highness, you despised your duty and let people steal the food and grass quietly. It is difficult for you to take the blame for your despicable duty. Please punish me!"

Tuoba Jue pointed at him angrily and reprimanded: "You deserve to be punished. Tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass were transported out of Ci'en Temple without anyone noticing. Are your guards just a decoration?"

"No matter how His Highness punishes Beiji, Beiji doesn't dare to complain at all, but this matter is quite strange. Beiji and a group of subordinates have been secretly watching Ci'en Temple and dare not slack off at all. Logically speaking, if someone really transported a large amount of grass out of Ci'en Temple, it is impossible for our people to be unaware that there are always transport vehicles to transport grain and grass. But that day, there were no carriages, ox carts or other transport vehicles passing near Ci'en Temple. The batch of grain and grass was like... …It was like disappearing into thin air.”

He found this argument unconvincing, but the facts were right in front of him, and he could only tell His Highness the truth.

Tuoba Jue gradually calmed down.

Qian Mo is his right-hand man and has always been calm in doing things. Ci'en Temple is such a big place, and if tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass want to be transported out of Ci'en Temple, it is impossible to escape Qian Mo's eyes.

Who secretly stole that batch of grain and grass?How did he transport it?

A figure appeared in his mind, and Tuoba Jue sneered.

This matter is absolutely inseparable from Jiang Ci.

At this time, Tuoba Yan walked into the camp from outside.

"Third brother, I heard that the batch of food and grass was lost?"

Tuoba Jue looked at Tuoba Yan: "Xiaojiu, you are still recovering from your injuries, so don't bother with this matter."

Tuoba Yan showed displeasure: "Third brother, when you left Cangtong County, you swore that the food and grass were hidden in a very secret place. Why didn't your people even know when the other party stole the food and grass?"

Qian Mo lowered his head in shame: "The ninth princess is humble and incompetent. Your Highness is not to blame for this matter."

"Hmph, I tried my best to intercept that batch of grain and grass, but in the end you lost it. If I had known that Third Brother's people were so incompetent, I shouldn't have given the grain to your people in the first place."

Tuoba Jue had nothing to say and pinched his swollen eyebrows: "Xiaojiu, it's third brother's fault. Third brother will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation."

Tuoba Yan said: "This matter must be related to Jiang Ci. That batch of food and grass is probably in his hands. He injured me and also took my food and grass. Jiang Ci, you are really good!"

Tuoba Jue said angrily: "When Nanwei Mansion is captured, Third Brother will definitely send someone to capture this kid to vent his anger on Xiaojiu."

Tuoba Yan shook her head: "Jiang Ci is not that easy to deal with. How can the third brother forget about the losses he suffered so quickly? You don't need to get involved in this matter. I will settle the score with him."

Jiang Ci, see you at Xinyang Mansion.

This time, this princess must let you fall into my hands!

Xinyang Mansion

In a secluded house in the city, a stern figure stood in front of the desk.

"Your Highness, urgent report from the capital." The subordinate sent a letter to the man.

Ye Lanxuan reached out to take the letter and quickly read the contents, his eyes suddenly filled with chills.

"Father, you actually want to take that trash back?"

"There are rumors in the capital that there is an emperor in the northwest. Your Majesty must have heard about it, and that person has been hiding in the northwest for these years."

"Hmph, would my father believe such nonsense? It seems that he is really old and confused."

"Your Highness, the empress said you don't have to worry about this matter. She will help you arrange everything in the capital. Your Majesty has sent the cavalry general Zheng Chu to lead an army of [-] to Nanwei Mansion. You only need to take a stand during this battle with the Rong Di army. With military merit, those ministers in the court who support His Highness will have the opportunity to jointly submit a letter asking Your Majesty to establish a crown prince as soon as possible!"

Ye Lanxuan's eyes flashed with the determination to win.

That position must be his. That little loser in the cold palace faked his death and left the palace as a sinner. He still has the blood of the Feng family that his father is most afraid of. He wants to win the throne with him, which is simply wishful thinking.

"Go and ask Mr. Wu to come over."

"Yes!"

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a long cloth slowly walked into the study, and he bowed to Ye Lanxuan.

"The grass people have seen His Highness."

"Mr. Wu, please sit down. I have something to ask Mr. Wu."

The two sat at the tea table, and Ye Lanxuan personally poured a cup of tea for Mr. Wu.

"Sir, the Liu family has been unwilling to give me a definite answer. I am really not willing to go on this trip without getting the military power of the Liu family."

Mr. Wu looked at Ye Lanxuan: "Your Highness, the Liu family is hereditary, and even His Majesty can't do anything to them. The current head of the Liu family is an even more thoughtful person. If there are not enough chips in exchange, the Liu family will not We might send troops."

Ye Lanxuan naturally understood this truth. He came to Xinyang Mansion for a few days and met Liu Bin three times. The old fox respected him on the surface, but in fact he always did Tai Chi with him when talking.

He refused to agree or refuse, so he couldn't figure out what this old fox was thinking.

"Mr. Wu, do you have any good ideas?"

"I heard that Liu Bin and his wife were childhood sweethearts, but Mrs. Liu's beauty died due to dystocia. In the past ten years, Liu Bin did not take a concubine again, and devoted himself to raising his children. This shows that Liu Bin's love for his flesh and blood can be seen. My relatives value it very much."

Ye Lanxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely guessing what Mr. Wu meant.

"what do you mean?"

Mr. Wu chuckled softly: "Liu Bin's daughter is currently waiting for marriage. I heard that Liu Bin and his son Liu Hanzhou are very fond of her. If His Highness can capture this girl's heart and marry Liu Bin's daughter, there is no need to worry about it. The military power in his hands?"

Ye Lanxuan weighed it in his mind.

The Liu family is a wealthy family and has fifty thousand private soldiers. It would not be a disadvantage to marry Liu Bin's daughter as his concubine.

However, the Queen Mother is interested in the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. After all, she is the Queen Mother's niece. This matter needs to be sent to the capital to make a decision.
