Chongxi [rebirth]

When they arrived in Weizhou City, they saw Zhu Lie and others coming out of the city to meet them from a long distance away.A few high-ranking generals rode horses at the gate of the city, attracting passing people to look at it and talk about it.

Yang Buwei was also among them. He didn't really want to come today, but he wanted to know himself and the enemy, so he came with the crowd after all.

Seeing the team getting closer, he squinted his eyes and said, "Old Zhu, what is the happy event? You have to pull us all over here. If you want to meet the princess, it won't be such a big battle, right?" ?”

"That's right." The other generals who didn't know anything agreed, and said with a smile, "If nothing good happens this time, you should invite us brothers to drink."

Zhu Lie snorted, and said in a rough voice: "You guys will find out later, this is a great joy. This drink must be invited by the prince, and it just happens to clean up the dust for the princess."

After speaking, he looked at the people who were getting closer, and raised his whip to meet them.

The rest of the people shook their heads, but also followed.

Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting walked slowly side by side, and when they saw the dust flying in front of the city gate, they sneered, "I can't hold back anymore." He turned to Ye Yunting and said, "The ten thousand taels of gold I brought back, just ask them to open their eyes and get it." You intercepted this from the Yin family, don't tell Zhu Lie to fool you."

With his toes, he can think of the thoughts that are turning in Zhu Lie's mind now.

The gold mining has not officially started yet, so what they brought back this trip is only the 1 taels of gold that Ye Yunting ordered someone to intercept from the Yin family.Since it was obtained by Ye Yunting's ability, it should belong to him.

Ye Yunting didn't think about it so much, he was stunned and said: "There is so much gold, it's useless for me to hold it."

When he took the risk at the beginning, he also thought that Li Fengqi's relationship with the emperor would be torn apart, and he would no longer be able to count on money from the Ministry of War, and military expenses might be tight.It never occurred to me to keep it for myself.

This ten thousand taels of gold is more valuable in the army than in his hands.

But Li Fengqi was very straightforward: "Why is it useless? From now on, the palace will depend on the princess for support." He was full of displeasure: "My private treasury has been wiped out by Zhu Lie."

After the two of them took a step forward, he stopped calling him "Elder Prince" and began to call him "Wangfei" confidently. He didn't know how many times he had rehearsed it in his heart, and he called it very smoothly.

"..." Ye Yunting was once again shocked by his face, and immediately felt his heart soften.

Li Fengqi's careful consideration of not touching this batch of gold was because he was afraid that his money would be tight after he arrived in northern Xinjiang.Thinking of the new house that needs to be repaired, Ye Yunting didn't refuse any more, and agreed softly.

While the two were talking, Zhu Lie had already approached.

He followed Li Fengqi with a happy face, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, did you bring the gold back?"

"Bring it." Li Fengqi glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Then, what about the gold mine?" Zhu Lie's voice began to tremble: "Is everything settled?"

"That's it."

Li Fengqi was a little annoyed by him, and waved him away: "I will tell you when I return to the Dudu Mansion. At that time, I will send someone to Zhouju Town to preside over the overall situation. To prevent the Yin family from making trouble secretly."

Being chased away by him like a fly, Zhu Lie was still beaming, as long as he thought of the boxes of gold, he would just laugh.

On the other hand, the generals who were traveling with him were shocked when they heard the words "gold" and "gold mine". , have opened the way ahead.

On the other hand, Li Fengqi still took his time and introduced Ye Yunting one by one.

"The one who resembles Zhu Lie is his elder brother Zhu Wen."

"The bear-like man next to Zhu Wen is Jiang Shu, my lieutenant general."

"Shouhou is Jiaozuo, a sharp archer. The hidden guards who escorted you on this trip are all under his command."

Li Fengqi introduced them one by one, and when he reached the literati-looking figure at the far end, he paused indiscernibly: "That is... military advisor Yang Buwei."

Hearing this name, Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi exchanged a look that only each other could understand.

According to what Ye Yunting saw in his previous life in his dream, Li Fengqi was poisoned and imprisoned. Brother Zhu Lie led his troops to the capital to rescue people, but they were caught in an ambush by Yin Chengru on the way, and the Xuanjia Army was severely injured.Zhu Lie broke through and brought people back to Weizhou to ask for help, but unexpectedly Yang Buwei turned against him and joined forces with Zhao Yan, the supervising army sent by Li Zong, calling Zhu Lie and others rebellious officials and traitors, and wanted to kill them on the spot.

In this life, whether it was Zhao Yan, the supervising army, or Yin Chengru, who severely injured the Xuanjia army, they all lost their lives.

There is only one Yang Buwei left.

Li Fengqi looked at Yang Buwei's back with an unclear expression.Yang Buwei is a military adviser, he has advised him over the years, he has made countless contributions, and he has been born and died several times. Although he is not as close as Zhu Lie and others, he is also his confidant.

Before Ye Yunting confessed his past life to him, he never suspected that Yang Buwei would betray him.Over the years, Yang Buwei has put him first in everything, and northern Xinjiang first, and has never shown any selfishness.

But Ye Yunting would not lie to him.

Therefore, he did not let Yang Buwei participate in the gold mine incident.

Li Fengqi closed his eyes and thought deeply, and said in a low voice: "Yang Buwei has made a lot of contributions to Northern Xinjiang, and he is highly respected in the army. Before there is no evidence, I can't touch him directly."

Ye Yunting understood what he meant, nodded and said: "If he doesn't have other thoughts in this life, that's all. If he has, he can't hide it."

The two reached an agreement, stopped the topic, and entered the Governor's Mansion under the curious eyes of the people on both sides.

The Governor's Mansion in Northern Xinjiang, like this city, is full of rough and heroic style.

Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting were welcomed to the main seats, and the ten boxes of gold were moved in one after another, and randomly placed in the open space in the hall.

Zhu Lie couldn't wait to step forward and walked around several boxes: "Is this the gold produced in the mine?"

He took a deep breath, opened one of the boxes, and was dazzled by the dazzling gold.

"!!!" He pressed his chest, kept muttering "get rich, get rich", and opened the rest of the boxes.

The box was full of gold ingots, lighting up the hall a little.Roughly counting, there are ten thousand taels!

Have these people seen so many gold ingots?

In Beizhao, gold is the most expensive, followed by silver.The most used by the common people in daily life are broken silver and copper coins.Merchants and their like mostly use bank notes issued by banks.

Such expensive prices as gold ingots are rarely circulated.Ordinary people may never see gold ingots in their lifetime, let alone a huge amount of [-] taels.

Seeing this, the rest of the generals finally couldn't sit still, and they got up to look at it one after another. Some people were so greedy that they picked up one and immediately bit their teeth.

Li Fengqi saw that these people were more embarrassing than the other, so he really didn't see it, so he slammed the table: "Put it all down, this gold has nothing to do with you."

"...?"

Zhu Lie was unhappy when he heard that, rubbed his hands together and said, "The army is short of a batch of winter clothes. I think this gold can be bought for all the soldiers... Do you think so, my lord?"

Li Fengqi sneered: "This batch of gold was snatched from the Yin family by Yunting's risky tactics. Do you want it? Go to the mine and dig it yourself."

Back then, when Wu Geng came back to report, he only said that a gold mine had been discovered in Zhouju Town, so Zhu Lie took it for granted that the ten thousand taels of gold was brought back from the mine.Now that I heard that Ye Yunting snatched it from the Yin family, his expression became even more eager, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's a good thing that the princess is able to snatch something from the Yin family." He said twice: "In this case, I It’s not in vain, why don’t the concubine lend it to me first? When the gold in the mine is mined, return it immediately!”

Ye Yunting was very familiar with him, and naturally knew his temperament, so he would not be easily fooled, so he looked at him with a smile and said, "It's not impossible to borrow it. General Zhu, how much profit will you give? When will you pay it back? It's settled." Then write an IOU. You can take the ten boxes of gold with you."

Zhu Lie's smile froze: "They are all our own people, so there is no need to worry about the interest..."

"Brother, let's settle the score." Ye Yunting said with a smile: "Otherwise, everyone will come to me for nothing in the future, and then I will be taken advantage of?"

"..." Zhu Lie died down, slapped his thigh and said, "Forget it, I'd better take someone to dig in the mine!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the others heard it, and when they looked at Ye Yunting, there was a subtle change in their eyes.

This princess is not as cautious as imagined, and her relationship with Zhu Lie is worse than they imagined.

Zhu Lie is the governor of the governor's mansion, in charge of the governor's mansion and the affairs of the army. Although he looks like a rough man with no care for details, in fact, it is not easy to sit in this position. He deals with all kinds of people every day. Most of all, they are long-sleeved and good at dancing, and there are endless ways to deceive people. Even brothers like them have suffered from Zhu Lie's hands.

That is to say, in front of the prince, Zhu Lie was often unable to please.

But looking at Zhu Lie's attitude now, this princess is by no means a weak character.Otherwise, Zhu Lie would not have this attitude when facing him.

Previously they thought that Zhu Lie's warning was because the prince liked the concubine, but now it seems that it is probably a combination of both.

Several generals were worried about it, but they were more concerned about the gold mine. Yang Buwei asked, "The prince hasn't said what is going on with the gold mine yet?"

Thinking of Zhu Lie, Zhu Wen and Jiang Shu's unsurprised appearance, he knew that Li Fengqi must have said it in advance when he called people away last time.His eyes moved slightly. In the past, the prince would call him for important events, but this time he missed it. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional...

Li Fengqi briefly talked about the gold mine with several people, and said: "There must be a general in the town, and new people must be sent to the yamen. I am going to choose one of you to go."

"Of course it's me!" Zhu Lie immediately fought for it: "The concubine won't lend me the loan, so I'll dig in the mine myself!"

Yang Buwei also said, "Your subordinates can also go."

Jiao Zuo put his hands in his hands: "I'm still busy training people, so I won't get involved."

Li Fengqi glanced at several people and said, "Then Jiang Shu will go."

Zhu Lie was very unhappy that he couldn't dig for gold himself.Still murmuring unconvinced, Zhu Wen next to him couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him.

On the other hand, Yang Buwei suppressed his smile and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Fengqi didn't care what they were thinking, after explaining the matter, he said: "If there is nothing else, then let's go."

After speaking, he wanted to leave with Ye Yunting. As for the ten boxes of gold ingots, he ordered someone to carry them to his private storage and put them in Ye Yunting's name.

Seeing this, Zhu Wen said: "We have prepared a reception banquet in the restaurant to welcome the princess and wash away the dust."

Li Fengqi pondered for a while: "Then let's go."

After finishing speaking, he motioned for several people to lead the way, while he followed Ye Yunting side by side at a leisurely pace.

The two fell behind, Li Fengqi whispered to Ye Yunting, "You don't drink well, don't take their drink later, leave it to me."

He is very clear about the temperament of these subordinates. They are drinking under the guise of picking up the dust.Maybe they will join forces to pour wine for Ye Yunting.But the banquet has already been arranged, it's not good if you don't go, it's always necessary for Ye Yunting to get acquainted with these generals.

Ye Yunting was very self-aware of his drinking capacity, and did not refuse when he heard the words, and responded lightly with a smile.

A group of people left the Governor's Mansion and went to the restaurant.

A few generals led the way in front, hooking their shoulders and shoulders, and forcibly stepped out of the posture of a hooligan.

The restaurant is in the west of the city, three streets away from Dudufu, not far but not close.Zhu Lie said that it was just for Ye Yunting to experience the customs of Weizhou City, so he simply walked all the way there.

Li Fengqi took Ye Yunting behind and told him about the local people in the city in detail.Just as they were talking about a weapons shop, they heard the people in front of them all take a breath.

Jiang Shu was gearing up: "Who raised this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I don't know." Zhu Wen answered, "It doesn't matter whether he has an owner or not, it's better to come first served."

With his hand in his pocket, Jiaozuo has already started to grope for a suitable weapon in his arms: "This gray wolf is solid and compact, it must be a wild wolf in the mountains."

Yang Buwei also said: "How can there be a fierce beast in the city, why don't you join hands to subdue it first and then talk about other things."

Zhu Lie, who was the only one who knew, watched the play with his arms around him.

The thoughts of these people are almost engraved on their foreheads, but it's a pity that this wolf king already has a master.

Just as Jiang Shu was about to make a move, he heard a gentle and gentle voice behind him saying, "Everyone, don't make a move. This gray wolf is raised by me and won't hurt anyone."

"???" A few people paused, subconsciously turned their heads to look at Ye Yunting, and heard him call "Ah Xuan", and the gray wolf with smooth fur walked up to him and hugged him with a wolf kiss. arch his hands.

The generals: "..."

Several people looked at each other and laughed dryly: "So it's the wolf raised by the princess."

Then there is no way to grab it, you can only enjoy the eye addiction.

"Is this gray wolf domesticated by the concubine?" Yang Buwei said with a smile beside him, "Regardless of its appearance, it has a temperament like a domestic dog, so close to people."

What he said sounded right at first glance, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

It is clear that Ye Yunting tamed a wolf into a dog and lost his wildness.

Several generals frowned, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at him, not understanding what he meant by these words.

They could all tell that if this gray wolf was in the mountains, he would at least be a wolf king.Otherwise, they wouldn't think of capturing it while it was in the city.

"Ah Xuan is really obedient." Ye Yunting gave him a meaningful look, and patted the wolf king on top of his head.

Yang Buwei saw that he didn't accept the trick and couldn't find anything out of the test, so he smiled and was about to turn around, but unexpectedly the gray wolf jumped up and rushed straight at him——

Yang Buwei was shocked, but he was not a general, so he couldn't dodge at all. In the blink of an eye, he was thrown to the ground by the gray wolf. The wolf's sharp claws were on his shoulders, and the sharp teeth could bite through his flesh in an instant. Throat.

He was about to call for help when Ye Yunting called out: "Ah Xuan, come back."

Wolf Dynasty he let out a low growl, then let go of his paws, and walked back to his side.

"Is Master Yang alright?"

Ye Yunting stepped forward to help him up himself, still with a smile on his face: "I just forgot to say that Ah Xuan is very human, and can understand good things. If someone says he is not good, he will lose his temper." He is very childish, please forgive me, Junshi Yang."

Yang Buwei patted the dust off his body, but couldn't understand what he said.

But this matter was his first, even if Ye Yunting took revenge on him openly, he would not take it for granted.He could only forcefully smile and said: "My concubine's words are serious, I was wrong and mistook a wolf for a dog. Ah Xuan should be unhappy."

Ye Yunting smiled lightly: "Then I will thank the military advisor for Ah Xuan's generosity."

After speaking, he patted the Wolf King on the head again: "You can't do this next time."

The wolf king whimpered softly, and rubbed against his palm.

Seeing this, several generals had different expressions, and they came forward to smooth things over one after another, and pulled Yang Buwei away who looked stiff: "Let's go, let's go and drink, the food will be cold if we go late!"

"It looks like I'm going to feed Ah Xuando a rabbit today."

Li Fengqi looked at Yang Buwei's stiff back with a dark expression.Yang Buwei really had a lot of thoughts on his mind, Ye Yunting had just arrived, and he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

He took Ye Yunting's hand, smiled and said: "Go drink first. I will take care of other things later."
