Hongdi

After a long silence, Yu Xun finally spoke slowly, "The deceased is gone, how do you plan to forgive?"

The cold words seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts, and the Mobei officials present felt chills down their backs, as if they were about to be frozen to death by the icy murderous aura in the next moment, as if the ice and snow world outside was the truly warm and safe place.

With a group of officials, Chen Chengguang stammered: "I wait... I wait, I will immediately resettle those people who have difficulty in the winter. Your Highness is kind enough to give the officials a chance to make up for it."

Yu Xun looked at these officials who didn't dare to show their pride, and his disappointment exceeded the indignation in his heart.Glancing at them with disdain, he slightly rubbed his hands that were a little stiff from the cold, and suddenly felt that leaving the black cat, the weather was terribly cold.The biting cold wind mixed with the icy air seemed to shatter human bones.Subconsciously glanced at the little guy in Xie Ximing's arms, seeing that it was also looking at him with its head stretched out, the corners of its mouth raised unconsciously.

"Xie Ximing, about the Qinglong fruit, you should hand it over to General Xia. From today on, I will be responsible for the tribute. You bring He Bomeng with you, and pick some capable people to continue the disaster relief."

Xie Ximing took the order resolutely.He knew in his heart that by doing this, Yu Xun not only punished himself for the robbing of his tribute, but also gave him a step up.But seeing how angry Yu Xun was, the batch of relief money and food that he left for Mobei County may have been wiped out by corrupt officials.These people are full of brains and fat, disregarding the life and death of the common people, it is the law of nature, and they must not be let go!But on second thought, Yu Xun is fledgling now, if these people are really severely punished, I am afraid that his own vitality will be seriously injured.Thinking about it, my originally indignant heart turned into worry...

Yu Xun looked at Chen Chengguang, who was almost lying on the ground, and bent his mouth in disgust.Although I really want to pull these corrupt officials out to rectify the Fa, I have to consider the matter of face. Besides, my foundation is not stable. If I want to move these people, I will lose both.

Sighing secretly, he slowed down his tone and said, "Master Chen, you are familiar with this place in Mobei. If there is anything Xie Ximing doesn't understand, I hope you can point it out."

Chen Chengguang was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Yu Xun's tone suddenly slowed down, but then he turned his head and understood the reason, secretly smiled, and kowtowed to thank him, "Yes, I must do my best to help Mr. Xie Do a good job in disaster relief."

"Wake up, let's all get up." Yu Xun glanced at him lightly, then turned to He Bomeng and said, "Those officials who are helping the people, make a list, and this king will go ask for credit for them."

Chen Chengguang's brow was covered with cold sweat from his indifferent glance.Although I understand that he is for the sake of his father-in-law and let me go, but I personally feel the fierce murderous aura on his body, especially those bottomless eyes, which seem to be indifferent, but always make people shudder...

He Bomeng answered "Yes", looked at Yu Xun's slightly tired face, and said, "Your Highness, leave the matter to your subordinates and wait. You are exhausted, so you should rest early."

Yu Xun nodded slightly, agreeing.

Chen Chengguang led the officials of all sizes in Mobei as if fleeing for his life, and kowtowed to thank him again.Just as he was about to leave the house, he suddenly remembered the delicacies and dances that he had prepared long ago, so he bravely asked cautiously: "Your Highness, I have already prepared a welcome banquet for you, you...?"

Yu Xun frowned and glanced at him displeasedly, "Banquet? The people outside are still not full enough to eat and wear warm clothes. This king is not in the mood to accept Lord Chen's hospitality!"

The ass was slapped on the horse's leg, Chen Chengguang wanted to slap himself twice now, knowing that Yu Xun was furious because of the lack of food for the people, and he still brought up the "banquet" without knowing it, and he was really scared and confused.

Yu Xun looked at the man's trembling body, and said expressionlessly: "Xie Ximing will arrange the affairs of this king. You can take all the adults down to rest."

Chen Chengguang nodded his head like a broken rice, and even said yes, and hurriedly led a group of people back out.

It wasn't until all the officials in Mobei left the room that Yu Xun rubbed his slightly stiff face, put on his usual gentle look, smiled and said to Xie Ximing, "I'll give you both Xiaotian and Meng." , let go and do it, and I will take care of it if something happens. How they eat the disaster money, let them spit it out, not a penny is lost."

Xie Ximing knew that Yu Xun was very angry about this matter, and he himself was even more angry, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will deal with it immediately, those corrupt officials will never be lightly forgiven! But..., I am also worried that if the punishment is too heavy, things may happen." It didn't end well."

Yu Xun nodded appreciatively, "You have a good idea. The matter should not be too big. Our purpose is to make them spit out the money."

Xie Ximing looked at Yu Xun's big golden eyes and smiled knowingly, "This subordinate understands."

Jiang Tian grabbed his beard and asked in puzzlement, "Why? Don't you want to deal with these bastards?"

Xie Ximing pulled him lightly, and whispered in his ear with a voice that only two people could hear: "It's a troubled time now, so it's not appropriate to go to war."

Jiang Tianyi nodded half-understood, and smiled silly at Yuxun, "Your Highness, you are also tired, shall I take you to rest?"

Yu Xun rubbed his hands together, then stared at Jiang Tianyi suddenly.

Jiang Tian was taken aback for a moment, and blinked for no reason, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Aren't you going to rest?"

Yu Xun shook his head, glanced at Xie Ximing, and said to Jiang Tian: "Little Tian, ​​go and find Ming a helper who is good at calculating and can make money, and squeeze the interest out of those officials, okay?" ?”

As soon as Jiang Tian looked at Yu Xun's big eyes that were comparable to copper coins, the smiling face of a bald old man whom he had met a few days ago suddenly appeared, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this kind of person is easy to find."

Yu Xun nodded understandingly, and said in his heart that with the help of this person, Xie Ximing will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

He and Jiang Tianyi were thinking of the same person, Zhang Shipu, the old bald shopkeeper of Mobei Hongbao Pavilion.That old gentleman is a master of plucking geese, and he can dig a few coppers from the cracks in the ground without money.With a belly full of evil and a mind full of calculations, he is really a profiteer among profiteers, but he is a good person.

Jiang Tian looked at He Bomeng, frowned and said: "Your Highness, you have transferred He Bomeng to Ming's side, who will handle the Qinglongguo matter with you?"

"Take a day off. Tomorrow, General Xia and Wang Dali will follow me up the mountain to meet Liuyun Sect."

Jiang Tianyi's eyebrows tightened even more, "Your Highness, I'll accompany you too. I'll just step in and help Ming. I've been researching Liu Yunjiao for a long time, and I'm more familiar with it."

Yu Xun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can come with me tomorrow."

Jiang Tianyi was overjoyed and said hello.

Xia Dehai hugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "Your Highness, the army has marched for thousands of miles. It has just arrived here and has not rested yet. Are you in a hurry to go to Heming Ridge tomorrow?"

Yu Xun thought about it too, but when he was in a hurry, he didn't think about it.However, Heming Ridge can't wait.

Xie Ximing saw that Yu Xun was silent, and the mellow atmosphere just now was frozen solid by the cold wind that entered the room, "How many soldiers and horses does Your Highness plan to bring tomorrow?"

Yu Xun thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "I just want the army to create some momentum down the mountain. Go up the mountain, as long as there are a few to protect me."

"Huh?" Jiang Tian became anxious when he heard this, "Your Highness, this is too dangerous! How can you bring only a few people?"

Xie Ximing tugged him again, and said softly: "Don't worry, listen to Your Highness." Then, he turned to look at Yu Xun, and said seriously: "Your Highness, who are you going to take with you? How do you do it? Can you tell me? Wait, tell me?"

Yu Xun rubbed his frozen fingers, and said calmly, "I originally planned to beat Wang Dali and four or five elite soldiers."

"What?!" Jiang Tianyi stared with big eyes, panicked, "No, Your Highness, it's too dangerous!"

Yu Xun pouted and muttered, "Didn't you also follow..."

Jiang Tian looked at the sky speechlessly...

Xie Ximing was also taken aback by Yu Xun's bold idea, "Your Highness, although the Liuyun Sect in Heming Ridge is not evil, it is definitely not good. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to go there rashly."

Xia Dehai frowned and stared at this courageous young man, he couldn't even imagine that he was the cowardly, cowardly and incompetent prince that people once said. "Your Highness, I would like to go with you at the end."

Jiang Tian glanced at him angrily, and dissatisfied: "It's fine if you don't help persuade such a dangerous matter, why do you want to go with His Highness?!"

Xia Dehai snorted with his nose, and said with a sneer: "Since His Highness said so, he must have come up with a perfect plan. Why, you don't believe His Highness's ability?"

"You!" Jiang Tian pursed his lips, looked at Yu Xun's deeply furrowed brows, and said worriedly, "Your Highness, do you have any specific plans?"

Yu Xun smiled perfunctorily, "You are here, you should have better information than me."

"Your Highness, are you referring to the Jianghu people who suddenly gathered in Meicheng?"

Yu Xun nodded, "It's not that I'm too impatient to give everyone time to rest, it's just that things really can't wait."

"Your Highness, I dare to ask, the emperor, how did you come back?" Jiang Tianyi looked at Yu Xun's frown again, and suppressed an ominous premonition...

"Father wants me to bring back at least three green dragon fruits."

"Huh? There are only five in total. The Liuyun Sect is probably used up now. How can I bring them back?"

Xie Ximing was also surprised, and worried: "Your Highness, if you don't take it back, what will happen?"

Yu Xun glanced at him and smiled wickedly, "Guess?"

Jiang Tianyi tightly grasped Xie Ximing's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "Ming, will you die?"

Xie Ximing gave him a reassuring smile, and said to Yu Xun: "If this matter can be settled with my life, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it."

Yu Xun blinked, and said seriously: "Use your head to settle this matter? Where is it enough? Let's guess."

Xie Ximing frowned and said again: "The Liuyun Sect's more than [-] people cannot escape the responsibility of their crimes, and the imperial court should order to exterminate them."

"It's more than that. People from the rivers and lakes suddenly gathered in Meicheng for the green dragon fruit. Although Mobei is cold, there are many people. If the people from the rivers and lakes get in trouble with the army of the court, will the people still survive? It’s considered a profit to be able to trade for Taiping here..."

Xie Ximing was stunned, and suddenly changed his mind. According to Yu Xun's temper, the people would never suffer. "Your Highness, let's not talk about the future. If the green dragon fruit is not brought back in full, will you be punished together?"

Jiang Tianyi's heart that had just calmed down was picked up again. He grabbed Xie Ximing and looked at Yuxun eagerly, not knowing what to say.

Yu Xun smiled faintly, his blue eyes were bottomless, "Guess?"
