Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

When Xu An woke up, it was already evening.

"Huh? You're still here? Still looking at me like that?"

"Tell me, did you molest me while I was sleeping?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Xu An saw Xiao Lan'er standing not far away, her beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.

Xu An subconsciously gathered his clothes, looking like he had just been bullied.

Xiao Lan'er looked at him and snorted, "Molested you... Heh, I did molest you, so what?"

As she spoke, she took a piece of paper from the table and waved it in the air.

It was a painting.

The ink on the painting had dried, but the scent of ink remained, and it was obviously just finished, and the person in the painting was Xu An.

In the painting, he was curled up in a wheelchair, his face full of spring as if he had had a beautiful dream, and most importantly, two fingers were stuffed into his mouth...

That look was indescribably obscene!

Obviously, his unreliable sleeping posture was secretly drawn by this woman.

What she called indecent assault was this.

"Fuck you..."

Xu An was not calm when he saw the painting, and jumped up from the chair in an instant: "Xiao Lan'er, don't go too far, you are infringing on my portrait rights and privacy!"

The main reason is that this girl's painting skills are too good, and she drew his sleeping posture vividly, but it's a bit too vulgar.

It affects his image as a great master of the South City!

If it gets out, how can Xu An survive in Kyoto?

However, facing his threat, Xiao Lan'er calmly called her maid Luluo over: "Go, find the best painter in Kyoto, copy this painting 10,000 times, and paste it all over the four cities of Kyoto!"

Xu An's face turned black when he heard it, and his eyebrows twitched, thinking about whether to use force to kill and silence him.

But in the end he still didn't have the courage to do it.

This woman is probably worried that she doesn't have a chance to teach him a lesson.

Can she be given this opportunity?

Definitely not!

A real man can bend and stretch, and this is his wife. It's no big deal to give in to her... Xu An secretly comforted himself, and then his face was immediately full of smiles.

He looked at Xiao Lan'er, bowed and said: "I was wrong, Your Highness the Princess is smart and beautiful, don't bother with me."

Just kidding, if this painting is really posted all over Kyoto, then his tall image as Master Xu will collapse?

He hasn't slept with the top ten courtesans in Kyoto yet! How can he destroy his image.

Xiao Lan'er saw Xu An begging for mercy, and finally smiled on her pretty face.

Bastard, can't I cure you?

Humph, you are afraid of a mere painting. Have you ever thought about the rumor that you slept with me in the princess's mansion? It was also a big deal at that time.

Have you ever thought about my reputation?

If Xu An knew what she was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice!

I said that at the time just to fit in with my predecessor's character. Besides, in order to dilute the impact, I didn't do so many earth-shattering things later?

Who remembers the things in the Princess's Mansion now?

"Are you begging me?"

Xiao Lan'er stared at Xu An with her beautiful eyes and said lightly: "I didn't hear you clearly just now, say it again."

Xu An: "..."

Dead woman!

Am I unable to carry a gun, or are you too proud?

Do you know what it means to take your husband as the backbone?

Xu An gritted his teeth for a while, but finally admitted his weakness and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong. Please be kind and don't bother with me."

"Damn it, Xiao Lan'er, don't go too far!"

His voice suddenly rose when he said the following words.

At the same time, he rolled up his sleeves, as if he would have a fight if he disagreed with her!

"Heh!" Xiao Lan'er sneered.

I can't beat Xu Qingfeng, but it's easy to deal with you.

But she thought about it and took back the painting she handed to the maid, folded it carefully, and put it into her sleeve.

This is the magic weapon to deal with this bastard in the future, so don't throw it away.

Xu An could see what this woman was thinking, and his mouth twitched suddenly. He thought to himself that the ancients were not wrong. It is better to offend a villain than a woman.

This is too vindictive!

"I have something to tell you. The imperial edict has been issued. Situ Nan is indeed like you said, he has no intention of stabilizing the prices in Kyoto."

Xiao Lan'er smoothed her sleeves and said, "Now Situ Nan has begun to close down the major grain and salt stores controlled by the wealthy families in Kyoto. Within three days, all stores in Kyoto will be closed."

"And once the stores of the wealthy families in Kyoto are closed, if we don't have a timely supply of grain and salt, the consequences will be disastrous."

"During your rest time, I have counted, NanThe food reserves stored by the major families of the City Merchants Alliance are only enough to maintain the operation of Kyoto for three days."

"If there is no food in three days, the Kyoto nobles will fan the flames and there will be chaos inside and outside the city."

At this point, Xiao Lan'er looked at Xu An and said, "I don't know what your solution is, but I know where to get food. As long as His Majesty agrees, solving the crisis in Kyoto should not be a problem."

Xu An licked the corner of his mouth and said, "You mean... military rations? "

Xu An knew that Xu Xiao and Emperor Yuan Kang had been secretly hoarding food for the past three years to prepare for the worst, fearing that the tragedy of the Youzhou War three years ago would repeat itself.

Otherwise, once the war started, if those people started to sabotage it again, the army would probably be out of food again.

Xiao Lan'er was right. This batch of military rations could indeed solve the crisis in Kyoto.

Xu An was even sure that Emperor Yuan Kang must be playing with the warehouse opening token, waiting for him to beg him.

"Well, only my father and General Xu know the location of the military rations. If my father agrees to open the warehouse to release the grain, the conspiracy of the Kyoto nobles will not succeed."

Xiao Lan'er nodded slightly. This was the simplest and most effective way at present.

But Xu An thought about it and shook his head and refused: "No, it's too much of a loss. Young master, I don't do business that loses money."

"Loss?" Xiao Lan'er was slightly stunned.

"Yes, it's a loss, and it's a big loss. "

Xu An sat back in the armchair and said, "Miss Xiao, what we know now is that the Kyoto nobles have a big conspiracy, but what is this big conspiracy? We don't know!"

"They may want to cause chaos in Kyoto, they may target Xu Xiao, they may be treasonous, or even... it is possible that their purpose is to consume the food that Your Majesty and Xu Xiao have worked hard to store."

"I will ask Your Majesty to transfer military rations now, which is equivalent to handing the trump card to the enemy."

"Whether it succeeds or not, we have lost!"

"Without military rations, once the war starts, it is very likely to follow the footsteps of the Youzhou War."

Speaking of this, Xu An's face sank slightly, and he said, "I will never allow this to happen again!"
