I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu stood on the tower, relying on the binoculars to see clearly below.

The garrison commander of Qihuo City personally took [-] garrisons and [-] Weiwei out to confront the Dongliang army.

Song Peiyu slapped Chong Yi who was beside him with his arm, "What are they talking about?"

Chong Yi was holding his chin with his hand, half lying on the city wall, and he could see clearly without using a telescope, "The Dongliang army said that they would not take out gold until the prisoners were safe."

As soon as Chong Yi finished speaking, there was a regular sound of small drums below.

The same rhythm, three times.

Song Peiyu couldn't understand, but someone could understand.

The garrison standing guard on the city wall immediately walked up to Song Peiyu and said in a low voice, "The commander wants us to release the Dongliang army prisoners."

Song Peiyu nodded.

Last time King Rui of Liangzhou sent 500 Eastern Liang troops to provoke. In addition to those who were sent back by Song Peiyu to deliver letters, there were also those who escaped by themselves. Qihuo City captured a total of [-] prisoners of war.

The army outside the city confronted each other. Before Dongliang retreated, Qihuo City would not easily open the city gate again.

These [-] prisoners of war were all tied with ropes around their waists and let them down from the city wall.

Those who still have strength and courage can borrow strength from the city wall and barely walk down by themselves.

If you are unfortunately afraid of heights, or have been frightened, you can only be put down and stacked together in embarrassment.

The Dongliang army originally wanted to take advantage of the opening of the city gate of Qihuo city. Even if they couldn't rush into the city, they would scare Qihuo city enough and suffer heavy losses.

Now the soldiers and prisoners are all falling from the sky, which really disrupted the plans of the Dongliang army.

As for the more than 500 prisoners, whether they will be in danger because of this... The Dongliang Army doesn't care at all.

In Prince Rui's eyes, if Lu Jihe and Song Peiyu are the culprits who made him repeatedly embarrass him, then these more than 500 people are his accomplices. care about their lives.

If it wasn't for being afraid of people's comments, it would be impossible for Prince Rui to send 500 taels of gold again after knowing that he was being tricked by the city of rare goods.

2 people plus 8000 people, nearly 3 people, all stood there in silence with expressionless faces.

Only the soldiers who are responsible for fixing the rope will call out the names embroidered on the clothes of each prisoner of war when they land.

"Dongliang Army, Wang He"

"Dongliang Army, Cheng Wei"

"Dongliang Army, Tao Qi"

……

Dongliang Jun remained expressionless, as if the person whose name was read had nothing to do with them.

Song Peiyu, who initially found it boring, found it interesting again after discovering Dongliang Jun's indifference.

As long as it is someone you know, there will be some expression changes. The 2 people below have no response at all, which means that these 2 people and that 500 people did not know each other before.

Without friendship, there will naturally be no reaction.

Could it be that the person who sent 2000 people to the city of strange goods to provoke is really not Prince Rui?

After a long time, the soldiers responsible for reading names and counting were changed several times, and a total of 680 five prisoners were released.

The leaders of both sides began to talk in low voices again.

Chong Yi consciously told Song Peiyu what he heard, "The Dongliang Army asked Commander Pei to verify the authenticity of the gold face to face. Every time one tael of gold is verified, four soldiers will be released to the Dongliang Army. The verification is 500 taels After the gold is all gone, release the rest of the prisoners as well."

Song Peiyu thought that hearing Chong Yi say that the following conversation was already very funny, but he didn't expect that it would be even more funny after watching the process start with his own eyes.

After the leader of the Dongliang army opened the gold box, he really only took out a one-two-weight gold ingot and handed it to Commander Pei.

Commander Pei was silent for a while when it was visible to the naked eye, and then took the gold ingot, and threw it behind him. Naturally, the guards would put the gold ingot away.

"One"

The sudden sharp sound almost scared Song Peiyu to throw down the binoculars.

The leader of the Dongliang Army waited for the ending of the 'one' to dissipate completely, and then looked at the prisoners of the Dongliang Army who were surrounded by the garrison in Qihuo City like lightning.

Seeing the six military prisoners stepping vainly, with their heads lowered, walking from the garrison of Qihuo City to the back of the Dongliang army, the leader of the Dongliang army picked up the second gold ingot and handed it to Commander Pei.

"Two" Song Peiyu put down the binoculars, lay on Chongyi's shoulder, couldn't stop laughing.

Completely forgot that he was the culprit who caused this picture.

A smile also flashed across Chong Yi's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up quietly.

Song Peiyu laughed enough, and found that the garrison beside him also had a very strange expression, and waved generously, "The 500 taels of gold don't need to be sent back to the city lord's mansion, it is directly allocated to the garrison as military expenses, so that Commander Pei can remember the details."

Garrison immediately forgot the strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain clearly, and happily knelt down on one knee, thanking Song Peiyu.

When he was first stripped from General Murong's command and became the garrison of Qihuo City, no one was satisfied from Commander Pei to Xiaobing.

Who can become the general's personal soldier, who doesn't stand out from the crowd in the ordinary camp.

They worked so hard to prove themselves on the battlefield and stand out.

Who doesn't know that as long as there is a war, General Murong will always lead his own soldiers to the forefront.

Fight the most dangerous battles and plunder the most military exploits.

Counting the generals in the entire Zhao Kingdom, Murong Jing has the most low-level generals under his account. This is the future that has been worked hard with blood and sweat.

Becoming the garrison of Odd Goods City means that they will pass away the opportunity they have finally won.

A fifth-rank military officer like Commander Pei has changed from the personal soldier of General Murong to the personal soldier of the prince.Although leaving the battlefield was not what he wanted, the future was actually better.

The most hopeless are the soldiers below. It is better for their people to stay in the barracks to wait for the opportunity to soar into the sky, but they can only stand guard in a desolate...no, a bustling city, wasting their time.

Except for the time of rotation, they still practiced as strictly as under General Murong's tent at other times, but they were all like young trees short of water, unable to cheer up.

This situation continued until their first payment of military pay.

In addition to the imperial court's military salary, the City Lord's Mansion also allocated them a military salary that was exactly the same as the imperial court's military salary.

This is not over yet.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also allocated a military salary from the private treasury that was exactly the same as the military salary issued by the imperial court plus the military salary issued by the city lord's mansion.

In other words, for all of them, the moon silver has quadrupled.

Not only did the garrison regain their original fighting spirit immediately, they were even more motivated than when they were under General Murong's command.

If they are lucky enough to be transferred to Xianyang to be the prince's personal guards, or if the prince builds a city similar to the strange goods city in other places, wouldn't they have a goal to fight for?

Even if they can only be small soldiers, they can get more moon silver through hard work.

Because Odd Cargo City also has a reward system.

The factories, restaurants, and shops in the city...all of them are the prince's private property, and three stages of goals will be set every month.

There is no punishment for not reaching the goal, but there are rich rewards for reaching the goal.

Their garrison was also divided into various teams and set up various goals.

The rewards set up are all paid separately from the city lord's mansion as military expenses.

Commander Pei will also use military expenses to uniformly purchase goods brought by rich merchants in the city, distribute them as military supplies, or sell them in limited quantities inside the garrison at a price much lower than outside.

At the beginning, it was quite interesting to watch two big men guarding a box of gold ingots, but insisting on handing over one after another. After watching it for a long time, it is inevitable that you will feel... a little hypnotic.

Song Peiyu covered her mouth with her sleeve and yawned. In a blink of an eye, she saw Jin Bao who had just climbed up the city wall and looked around.

He waved his hand immediately, fearing that there might be someone as pleasant as Chong Yi downstairs, Song Peiyu made a special gesture to signal Jin Bao to keep his voice down.

Seeing this, the garrison standing beside Song Peiyu retreated ten paces away with great winking.

Jin Bao was about to whisper into Song Peiyu's ear, but suddenly felt the sharp eyes on his face.

He paused, lowered his head silently and whispered, "In half an hour, the convoy from Yu County will arrive at the city."

The convoy is from Xianyang. This is a common practice. Xianyang will send a convoy to Qihuo City every month.

Accompanying them are not only various technicians who want to exchange experience with the Qihuo City factory, but also bring things that Xianyang has but Qihuo City does not have.

When the convoy returns to Xianyang, it will take away some technicians from Qihuo City, and Qihuo City has things that Xianyang does not have.

It was such a coincidence that the convoy came, of course, the credit of Yuxian Dianshi is indispensable.

The [-] Dongliang troops outside the city were not only the result of Prince Rui and Qihuo City's anger, their goal was the convoy.

The Qihuo city garrison and Dongliang army below the city heard the sound of drums coming from the city wall at the same time.

Commander Pei frowned, waved his hand to make the drummer who was about to speak in his ear retreat, and said to the leader of the Dongliang Army in a muffled voice, "You don't need to check the remaining two hundred, just give it to me, and the rest of the prisoners I will give it to you immediately, please leave the range of Odd Goods City immediately, otherwise..."

Commander Pei unsheathed the long knife an inch from his waist, just in time to reflect the scorching sun on the eyes of the leader of the Eastern Liang Army.

The leader of the Dongliang Army had to move his horse to avoid the spot on his face, but he kept staring at Commander Pei's face closely, even if his eyes were stinging or even faintly glinting, he refused to look away.

"It's better to count them face to face, lest the 200 taels of real gold turn into 200 taels of brass at the boundary of the strange goods city?" The leader of the Dongliang Army laughed.

The Dongliang army suddenly shouted in unison, "Odd goods city turns gold into copper!"

The shouts of the [-] soldiers were not only extremely penetrating, so that everyone in Qihuo City could hear them, but also frightened the horses under the opposing sides outside the city to varying degrees.

The originally orderly formation suddenly became disorganized, and instead, the two sides fell into an atmosphere that was about to explode.

Commander Pei's horse is a good horse sent from Xianyang by the East Palace during the Chinese New Year. Although it is not as good as Chong Yi's Mustang King, it is also a good horse with good bloodlines and has seen the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a thousand dollars. .

At this time, the performance of this horse is also worthy of its worth.

Just because Commander Pei remained motionless and the leader of the Dongliang Army moved, Commander Pei gained the upper hand in terms of momentum.

It's a pity that after all, there are 8000 people against 2 people, and the 2 people of the Dongliang Army have just shouted neat slogans, and the momentum is great. On the whole, the garrison of Qihuo City is slightly inferior.

Commander Pei's complexion was not very good after hearing the words of the leader of the Dongliang Army, and after the Dongliang Army shouted, "Odd goods city turns gold into copper", it became darker like the bottom of a pot.

Instead, the leader of the Dongliang army showed his first smile after arriving at Qihuo City, and then picked up a gold ingot and handed it to Commander Pei, "Come on, there are still two hundred more, finish it sooner, so we can go back to Liang sooner." state."

Commander Pei took a deep look at the leader of the Dongliang Army, picked up the gold ingot and threw it behind him, "Let him go!"

Immediately more people in the garrison got off their horses, and went to the Dongliang army to check and release the prisoners.

As long as Commander Pei threw the gold ingot back, they would immediately push the six of them to the Dongliang army, much faster than before.

It's a pity that the Qihuo City garrison is fast, but the Dongliang Army is getting slower and slower. Not only are the people in charge of calling the number more and more delayed, but the speed of the Dongliang Army leader giving the ingot is also getting slower and slower. Looking at Commander Pei intently, it seemed that he was waiting for Commander Pei's urging.

Commander Pei has a good temper, no matter how strange the leader of the Eastern Army is doing, he will not move.

After several provocations failed, the leader of the Dongliang army lost interest, and the speed of collecting money and releasing people accelerated again.

The moment the last gold ingot was handed over to Commander Pei, the leader of the Dongliang Army suddenly drew his knife.

Commander Pei raised his hooves and put his hand on the handle of the knife, but he didn't immediately draw out the knife to resist.

The accident happened suddenly, and by the time everyone realized it, another round of confrontation between Commander Pei and the leader of the Dongliang Army had ended.

The leader of the Dongliang army turned a blind eye to the iron hooves of the steed under Commander Pei, and the blade fell like flowing water, cutting the wooden box containing the ingots in half.

It's a pity that the horse of the leader of the Dongliang Army was not very useful, and he took two steps back under the pressure of Commander Pei's horse.

Commander Pei didn't make any progress because of this. After his horse fell, his two front hooves stepped on the previous position impartially.

The leader of the Dongliang Army and Commander Pei looked at each other, and at the same time turned around on the horse and walked towards the soldiers and horses behind them.

"Where is the convoy?" Song Peiyu, who was watching the orderly retreat of the Dongliang army through binoculars, asked after returning to the city wall.

Jin Bao immediately said, "After receiving the notification, it has stopped five miles away from the strange goods city."

Song Peiyu nodded, his face was still calm, but his right hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt another hand covering his hand, which was gentle but gentle. Straighten his fingers irresistibly, and then hold his hand all the time.

Chong Yi, like Song Peiyu, was also looking at the retreating Dongliang army. He said to Song Peiyu, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Song Peiyu's tense shoulders and neck relaxed slightly, and she leaned against Chong Yi's side again.

He also thought that nothing would go wrong, but he was always afraid of accidents.

The Dongliang army came and left in a mighty way, and did not stay for a while under the Qihuo City, as if Liangzhou King Rui sent 500 troops to Qihuo City just to take back more than [-] prisoners of war.

However, after withdrawing 1000 meters, the Dongliang Army suddenly stopped in place and organized the team again.

After about a stick of incense, they left the exhausted prisoners of war chasing the horses on their two legs, and rushed back to the location of the strange goods city.

At that time, Wei Wei's [-] troops had already returned to Qihuo City, but the tail of the [-] garrison in Qihuo City was still on the suspension bridge.

Commander Pei, who rode his horse at the back of everyone, turned his head first, and immediately saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and sternly said, "Run! The Dongliang army is back, let's go back to the city first! The drummer informed the people on the city wall Get ready to close."

The garrison team that was entering the city was in chaos for a while, and order was restored immediately.

With the sound of the whip being whipped, the horses that had been strolling in the yard began to trot, and the speed of the team became faster visible to the naked eye.

When he could clearly see the ferocious face of the leader of the Eastern Liang Army, Commander Pei, who was at the end of the team, also left the range of the suspension bridge completely, and immediately said, "Hang up the bridge and close the door!"

Watching Commander Pei's face disappear behind the suspension bridge, the leader of the Eastern Liang Army felt regretful but more excited.

Thinking of the annoyance and regret that the people in Odd Cargo City may have after discovering their mistakes, he felt full of strength.

The galloping Dongliang army bypassed the Qihuo City and rushed towards the rear of the Qihuo City.

Song Peiyu on the city wall temporarily put down the binoculars, and Chong Yi went to the bicycle standing beside the city wall, and rode the bicycle to the other side of the city wall.

It didn't take long for the leader of the Dongliang army to see his goal today, the motorcade that was parked on the spot for repairs.

He wanted to bring all the people and belongings of the convoy back to Liangzhou.

The people in the team have received news from Odd Cargo City that they are called to rest, but they are actually tense all the time.

Coupled with the sound of drums and bells to remind them from the direction of Qihuo City, the people in the convoy all rode away before seeing the Dongliang Army.

Fortunately, there were enough horses in the convoy, and the horses in the carriage were also taken away, so there was no need for three people to escape on one horse.

The leader of the Dongliang army watched the people in the convoy fleeing from a distance, and laughed arrogantly.

He didn't believe that these people could escape from the well-trained Dongliang army.

These people really all ran away, and by the time the leader of the Dongliang Army realized something was wrong and wanted to shoot arrows to keep them, it was too late.

In anger, the leader of the Dongliang Army hammered his iron fist on his thigh... it was even more painful.

"Go and harness the carriage, we will return to Liangzhou immediately." The leader of the Dongliang Army said in a muffled voice.

Even in anger, the leader of the Dongliang Army is still very clear-headed.

He must not chase the convoy too deeply, nor let the Dongliang Army stay between Qihuo City and Yu County for too long.

These 2 people can only catch Qihuo City and Yu County by surprise. When Qihuo City and Yu County react, they start to catch the turtle in the urn. If they want to leave, they will have to pay a heavy price.

Song Peiyu on the city wall was holding the binoculars with one hand and Chong Yi's sleeve with one hand, and asked anxiously, "How is it? Has anyone in the convoy been caught?"

The real technicians were quietly transferred to other places long before the convoy arrived in Yu County.

Except for those who are loyal and will never confess in the team, they are the ones who don't know anything.

But Song Peiyu still didn't want to see anyone in the convoy being injured or taken away.

This would make Song Peiyu feel that he was the one who harmed them.

Chong Yi, who was also holding a telescope, stretched out his arms, took Song Peiyu into his arms with one hand, and asked firmly, "All the people in the convoy ran away, and the Dongliang Army didn't catch any of them."

When Song Peiyu heard this, the boulder that had been hanging over her heart finally fell down, and she breathed a sigh of relief.Although she believed in Chong Yi's words, Song Peiyu waited until she saw the Eastern Liang army turn back before coming down from the city wall.

When the Dongliang Army passed through the Qihuo City and left, they deliberately circled around in a big circle, so that the garrison on the city wall had no choice but to shoot arrows and could not shoot people. Hastily opened the city gate.

He could only watch helplessly as the Dongliang Army left in arrogance, leaving behind flying dust all over the ground.

The next day, Song Peiyu smashed a set of teacups in the city lord's mansion, and after having a big fight with Lu Jihe, he immediately sent a messenger to Xianyang for [-] miles, and on the same day, he asked Luo Yong to take the order of the East Palace to Mo County to transfer troops.

Although the movement of the City Lord's Mansion is secret, there is no way to completely hide it from the rich merchants in the city.

The rich merchants all speculated that Song Peiyu, who had always been gentle and calm, was suddenly crazier than Lu Jihe when the Dongliang army took away important things that day.

If Prince Rui didn't take advantage, how could he endure the daily greeting letter from Odd Cargo City, and he didn't give any counterattack after several days.

Although Mr. Dong was also curious about what the Dongliang army took away that day, he would not forget the business because of this.

Under Master Dong's eagerness, the people around Song Peiyu more or less got rich.

Even Chong Yi was blocked by Mr. Dong one day, and forced into a box of golden nude.

After Song Peiyu left Master Dong alone for a few days, she reluctantly met with him.

He was in a bad mood because of the Dongliang Army incident, and his patience was not as good as last time. Compared with Lu Jihe, he was not much more mean than Lu Jihe, but Master Dong always greeted people with a smile on his face. He also took the initiative to raise his right cheek, carefully caring whether Song Peiyu's hand hurts or not.

Impressed by Mr. Dong's sincerity, Song Peiyu finally let go, revealing that he was willing to make a deal with Emperor Wei.

The smile on Mr. Dong's face hadn't fully spread yet, when Song Peiyu asked him to ask for 50 taels of gold.

Master Dong almost fainted on the spot.

50 taels of gold

Is Song Peiyu crazy?

Song Peiyu is not crazy, he looked at Master Dong coldly, "Since it is for the safety of Weiguo and the country, this money will naturally not be taken from your pocket or Weihuang's pocket, and Weiguo even took 50 taels of gold not come out?"

Mr. Dong pinched the soft flesh on his stomach to regain his senses, and put on a flattering smile on his face again, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, even if it is the treasury, there is no way to take out so much gold at once. But His Majesty has promised to pass the The county’s gold mine is given to you, the value of the gold mine has exceeded 50 taels of gold, you..."

Song Peiyu sneered, "You Weiguo think I'm a fool?"

Mr. Dong hurriedly said, "How could it be? Do you have any misunderstanding? Just remind me, and I can explain it."

"Heh" Song Peiyu was still not happy, but she didn't continue to make trouble because Master Dong had a good attitude.

He told Master Dong firmly, "Don't try to deceive me with invisible things, I just want gold or equivalent gems that can be obtained immediately."

Master Dong could only plead softly, and continued to negotiate the price with Song Peiyu, even rolling on the ground and crying poorly.

It's a pity that Song Peiyu's heart and soul got into Qian's eyes, no matter what Mr. Dong said, he would not be moved.

Until Master Dong mentioned the 500 taels of gold that Song Peiyu saw here when he came to Song Peiyu for the first time with a hint of threat.

Song Peiyu immediately turned his face when he heard the words, unceremoniously put the teacup on Master Dong's head, loudly asked Jinbao and Yinbao to throw Master Dong out, with a firm attitude, leaving no room for negotiation.

Instead of being angry because of this, Mr. Dong asked someone to send Song Peiyu an apology afterwards, as before, and he did not miss any chance to please Song Peiyu.

But at the same time, Master Dong also began to have close contacts with Lu Jihe.

Song Peiyu finally revealed in front of Taojiao and Suyue, implying that Taojiao and Suyue went to tell Master Dong that he has a lot, and regardless of Master Dong's rudeness, the money for the eighth prince's life can also be reduced appropriately, but ...the more the merrier.

Taojiao and Suyue were rewarded for meeting his expectations.

Song Peiyu never cared about the contents of the secret letters that Taojiao, Suyue and Master Dong exchanged through their nuns.But I have to admit that their work efficiency is very fast.

The next day Song Peiyu just woke up when Jin Bao said that Mr. Dong was waiting for him outside the door.

The two met several times successively for the eighth prince's life money, but they still couldn't reach a consensus.

After Luo Yong arrived in Mo County with the Eastern Palace Order, he took advantage of his identity and Song Peiyu's relationship with Murong Jing to transfer [-] troops from Mo County in the shortest possible time.

The [-] troops rushed to Qihuo City day and night, but for the sake of speed, they never entered any counties or towns.

The military supplies are all collected by Luo Yong from wealthy merchants and aristocratic families along the way with the tokens of the Odd Goods City. The rich merchants and aristocratic families can rely on the list signed by Luo Yong to go to Odd Goods City or Xianyang to exchange for goods and gold and silver.

In just seven days, [-] troops from Mo County crossed Yu County and stationed outside Qihuo City.

Song Peiyu officially sent a letter of challenge to Prince Rui of Liangzhou, and made an announcement in the Qihuo City.

Because the State of Zhao is about to start a war with Prince Rui of Liangzhou, the Qihuo City will be closed for three months, so that the merchants in the Qihuo City hurry up and leave.

Now the city of rare goods is still only allowed to go out but not to enter, and it may become neither allowed to go out nor allowed to enter at any time.

After hearing the news, the merchants still felt like they were dreaming, and they were even more surprised how important the Dongliang Army had taken from the convoy to make Song Peiyu so angry that he transferred troops from Mo County without regard to the consequences and impact. want to attack Dongliang.

But these businessmen still cherished their lives more, and immediately began to pack up their belongings, planning to run away in time.

Mr. Dong can't run away, not only can't he run away, but he has to seize the time to persuade Song Peiyu to kill the eighth prince quickly before the war between Zhao Guo and King Rui of Liangzhou expands.

During this period, Master Dong and Emperor Wei passed a letter.

Wei Huang can only take out 10 taels of gold now, and has already sent 10 taels of gold to Yi County, so that Mr. Dong can play by ear.

It's a pity that Song Peiyu was not satisfied with 10 taels of gold, he insisted on at least 15 taels of gold, and he was willing to deal with the Eighth Prince only if 15 taels of gold was in front of him.

On the other side, Prince Rui, who was far away in Liangzhou, finally received more definite news after the daily greetings from Qihuo City and Song Peiyu's letter of challenge. He raised [-] soldiers and horses.

"Small boy..." Prince Rui shook his head and said with a smile, "You just wait, within half a month, Zhao Jing will definitely send a reprimand order, and he is afraid that he will return to Xianyang in despair to accompany his Highness the Crown Prince to reflect."

The bald counselor under Prince Rui also shook his head, "He dares to use the Eastern Palace order so recklessly. After returning to Xianyang, let alone meeting Prince Zhao, Song Jinyu will have to intercede for him if he doesn't lose his life."

"After all, I'm still a little younger. Seeing the lord's magnanimity and disdain to care about him, I thought it was the lord who was afraid of him and did such a stupid thing that destroyed his foundation. But because of his actions, his two big backers in Xianyang were both You will be unlucky." The other counselors were not willing to let the bald counselor be better than others, and they also spoke in agreement.

Prince Rui heard these people imagine Song Peiyu's tragic situation after being recalled to Xianyang, and he was not happy for a long time before he fell silent. He thought of another person in Qihuo City that made him grit his teeth even more, Lu Jihe.

Thinking of the contents of those letters sent by Lu Jihe, Prince Rui felt his throat was fishy and sweet.

Shuzi!In the future, he will make Lu Jihe kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

After realizing that Prince Rui was absent-minded, the counselors immediately stopped thinking about Song Peiyu's miserable future, and started discussing how to deal with the [-] troops outside the city of rare goods.

Most of the people advocate peace, and Jiexian County in Liangzhou is a dangerous place no less than Yi County in Weiguo.

As long as they stick to it for a few days, after Song Peiyu suffers, the fifty thousand troops from Mo County will naturally come back and forth.

They wait for work at leisure and can minimize losses.

There is also a part of the main battle, precisely because they know that Song Peiyu will not be dancing for a few days, and the [-] army will not stay in the strange goods city for a long time, so they want to fight.

Only by taking the initiative to fight, can Zhao Guo's [-] troops be dealt a fatal blow when they want to retreat, in order to repay the hatred of the Qihuo City for repeatedly humiliating Prince Rui.

In addition, defeating a strong enemy will also make their Dongliang's reputation even louder.

Prince Rui remained silent the entire time, he would set his sights on whoever spoke.

No matter what this person said, he would nod in agreement, but he would not make a decision right away.

If someone starts to refute the previous person, Prince Rui will still look at the person who is speaking in agreement.

Just when the atmosphere in the meeting hall of the king's mansion was getting more and more heated, and those who held the opposite opinion were getting more and more excited, and when they were about to fight, someone outside suddenly came to report that King Liang suddenly sent troops to make a surprise attack, and had already conquered three towns in a row.

Prince Rui's expression changed drastically.

Although he was dissatisfied, Prince Rui had to admit that the soldiers of West Liang were indeed braver than those of East Liang.

If King Liang hadn't been fighting with Dangxiang for many years, he would have no chance to occupy half of Liangzhou.

Under the threat of King Liang, Prince Rui immediately ordered, "Add [-] troops to Jiexian County, and order them to guard the gate of Jiexian County. Zhao Jun must not be allowed to step into Liangzhou territory."

"Yes" the military officer under the hall took the order and immediately stepped back to make arrangements.

Prince Rui looked to the other side again, "How is the production of the Thousand Gold Mirror?"

The person who was asked was sweating coldly on his forehead, but he didn't dare to lie to Prince Rui, he could only tell the truth, "I still haven't figured out the three missing ingredients in the recipe, so I can only let the craftsmen try it slowly, I'm afraid... Short Not much progress can be made in time."

"Trash! How long is a short period of time, five days, ten days?" Prince Rui put his forearm on the armrest of the chair, and said in an aggressive tone, "The Gu Wang Lian Fangzi is delivered to you, and you still can't make a thousand gold mirror. The Gu Wang wants you What's the use?"

The person in charge of making the Thousand Golden Mirror was sweating coldly when questioned by Prince Rui.

Who doesn't know that as long as there is movement from Prince Liang, Prince Rui's temper will not improve.

If he still can't make Prince Rui calm down, he might lose his life.

He quickly knelt on the ground and swore to the sky that there would be results within half a month.

Prince Rui waved the people who were begging for mercy to go down, and arranged how to counterattack King Liang, and told everyone to retreat.

The bald counselor was stopped when he went out.

The person who stopped him was also a counselor, and he was appreciated by Prince Rui only after being recommended by others.

Because he had just arrived at Prince Rui's residence not long ago, he behaved extraordinarily modestly and prudently.

The bald schemer still doesn't like the new schemer.

Because the new counselor's hair is particularly lush, he is jealous.

But the bald counselor hid this well.

After the new counselor stopped the bald counselor, he said straight to the point, "Do you think the process of retrieving the Qianjin Mirror recipe went too smoothly? Song Peiyu has already brought everyone who can make the Qianjin Mirror to the Qihuo City. Why did you come from Xianyang? In the fleet of Qihuo City, there will also be a recipe for the Thousand Golden Mirror."

After pondering carefully for a while, the bald counselor patted the new counselor's shoulder with a smile, "You don't worry too much, if the prescription of Qianjin Mirror is fake, how could Song Peiyu react so strongly, and what we got is not complete Fang Zi, but grab the Fang Zi that is about to be destroyed in time."

The new counselor wanted to say something more, but the bald counselor held his shoulder.

The bald counselor looked at the new counselor with a warning in his eyes, "If you still feel that there is a problem, go and see the prince, the old man will not accompany you."

It really wasn't a good thing, who couldn't tell, the prince had suffered a few times in the hands of Qihuo City, and finally managed to win back a city for the last time, and was waiting to see Song Peiyu lose his wife and lose his army.

At this time, going to tell the prince that there is a problem with the prescription of Qian Jin Jing, is there a difference from pointing at the prince's nose and saying, you have been tricked by Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe from the strange goods city again?

The new counselor looked at the back of the old counselor who left in a huff, hesitated for a while, and finally chose to turn around and leave.

Forget it, the prince doesn't intend to fight Zhao Jun anyway, even if Qianjinjing's prescription is fake, at most he will only lose some money.

After Weiguo Yi County was closed, and Qihuo City was closed, Dongliang Jie County was also suddenly closed.

After Zeng Zhen completely quieted down, the calm atmosphere became full of tension again.

Master Dong and Song Peiyu once again got together for a secret talk for the eighth prince's life money.

In the end, they all agreed to buy the Eighth Prince's life at the price of 15 taels of gold.

Master Dong changed his previous cowardice in front of Song Peiyu, and told Song Peiyu stubbornly that Emperor Wei would immediately give Song Peiyu 10 taels of gold as a deposit.

After Song Peiyu killed the eighth prince and arranged a reasonable explanation for the eighth prince's death that would never involve Wei Guo, Wei Huang would pay the rest of the money.

Song Peiyu heard the words and held the golden bird that he had been playing with for a long time, and said coldly, "How can we guarantee that Emperor Wei is willing to pay the rest of the money after the matter of the eighth prince is settled?"

"Then how can you ensure that you won't renege on your debt after collecting all the money?" Mr. Dong asked without thinking.

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them willing to take half a step back.

After a long time, Mr. Dong who still had something to ask for was the first to speak.

He said to Song Peiyu, "My emperor is only willing to pay a deposit of 10 taels of gold to ensure that you will not renege on the debt. How do you think you can collect the rest of the money so that you can rest assured?"

Song Peiyu didn't insist on denying Master Dong's proposal any more.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "I want to borrow a way in Weiguo and send a caravan to Jingzhou. The emperor of Wei wants to ensure that my caravan is absolutely safe in Weiguo. It's all because of the 5 taels of gold left." Interest. In addition to 10 taels of gold as a deposit, something that can prove Wei Huang's identity is required to ensure that Wei Huang will not renege on his debts."

Master Dong agreed without hesitation.

The tense look on Song Peiyu's face gradually eased, "You first send 10 taels of gold to Qihuo City, and then let my caravan enter Yi County, and I will attack the Eighth Prince."

"No." Master Dong immediately shook his head.

He can promise that Song Peiyu's caravan will pass through Weiguo and go to Chu State unimpeded, but he cannot let Song Peiyu's caravan enter Weiguo from Yi County.

Song Peiyu said impatiently, "If you don't enter Weiguo from Yi County, why don't you let them go around and enter Weiguo from the border of Liguo?"

Before Master Dong nodded, Song Peiyu sneered, "In that case, why didn't I send someone from Xianyang to borrow the way from King Liang?"

"But..." Mr. Dong clapped his hands anxiously, "My emperor personally ordered the blockade of Yi County. Unless your caravan has less than 50 people, I really can't explain it."

"Less than 50 people?" Song Peiyu smashed the gold jewelry in his hand on the table, and looked at Master Dong in disbelief, "How much can 50 people transport?"

"Then how many caravans do you want to send?" Master Dong asked through gritted teeth.

Song Peiyu leaned on the soft cushion, and tapped her knuckles on the table hastily, "One thousand...forget it, the minimum is 800 people, if there is less, we won't talk about it."

"So many?" Master Dong looked at Song Peiyu suspiciously, secretly raising his vigilance.

Song Peiyu was amused by Mr. Dong's hard-to-disguise defense.

"There are only 800 people. What can be done? Yi County's garrison can be as many as 800 or as few as [-]. I'm afraid there are only [-] people. Is it possible..." Song Peiyu's expression suddenly became serious, and she looked at Master Dong inquiringly, " Could it be that the rumors outside are true, that Yi County had to seal the city because of the emptiness of the guards, and the actual garrison is less than a thousand?"

Master Dong laughed in astonishment, "How is it possible? Even if Wei Jing's guards are insufficient, Yi County's guards will not be insufficient."

"Yeah" Song Pei
