Once magnificent, now brilliant

Cailuo Clothing Shop opened in auspicious period, the drum music and lion dance were very lively, and the firecrackers were crackling, which added another heat wave to this hot season, but it was hot but not dry.

As the bosses, Qi Xiang and Xian Xing naturally stood at the door to observe the ceremony.In order not to scare others, Qi Xiang covered his face with a neckerchief, and the eyes of the people watching were all on the lion dance, and no one noticed him.

After the bustle, those who are in the money market and the people's market all come in to have a look at the store, mostly to see the price of the shop. If it is reasonable, these people will patronize in the future, which is also the benefit of the big fanfare.

Ai Wu and A Cai handled it with ease, Xian Xing also helped below, and Qi Xiang waited and watched on the second floor, it was not convenient for him to entertain guests like this.

On the first day the store opened, it had prepared a discount. For this, it quickly sold a lot of coarse cloth and the like, most of which were worn by ordinary people on weekdays. It is not expensive, but it is a good sign.

After working for a long time, Xian Xuan finally had time to run upstairs for a cup of tea.

"It's hard work." Qi Xiang smiled and poured him tea, Xianzhen was busier than him, except for standing at the door for a while, he really enjoyed the happiness.

Xian Zhen drank the tea in two or three strokes, "It's not hard, I'm happy to have business." After speaking, he opened the folding fan and fanned it vigorously.

"It suddenly occurred to me just now that the store should prepare incense, dye the hanging clothes, and improve the taste." Qi Xiang added water to the pot, "It just so happens that Jun Yu gave me a lot, change tomorrow Use it, I don't know when I will use it myself."

Xian Xuan teased, "Are you willing to take out what Jun Yu gave you and use it?"

"What is there to be reluctant about?" Qi Xiang said lightly.

"Tsk, are you going to tell me that you have let go? To be honest, I haven't asked you since I came back, and I can see that you can't let go. Don't you want to lie to me?"

Qi Xiang asked dumbfoundedly, "What are you lying about?"

"You lied to me and you put it down. When the shop runs out of incense, you will regret it again. How can you make a fuss and ask me to pay for it?" Xian Xuan's tone was teasing, obviously joking.

"I'm that kind of person?" Qi Xiang wanted to open Xianzheng's mind to see what this guy was arranging for him all day long.

Xian Yu said seriously: "Isn't it common to forget righteousness when you see sex?"

Qi Xiang didn't argue with him either, he had plans but didn't mention it, he just didn't want Xianxuan to know.Since you don't want to say it, it's not too late to wait until that day.

A few days later, Eunuch Li suddenly came to Qi Xiang's courtyard.

It turned out that the reinforcements found usable grain and grass in the granary. The emperor was overjoyed and gave many rewards.

"Thank you, Eunuch, for making this trip." Qi Xiang got up and said politely, and gave Eunuch Li some money for tea.

"My lord, you are being polite. You have solved problems for the emperor twice now, and the emperor knows that you are loyal. You were implicated before, how innocent? Now the emperor cherishes talents, and you will have to use your son's place in the future. I also hope that you will be the emperor for the sake of Dachuan. Contribution is the key." Eunuch Li spoke beautifully and to the point, as expected of an old eunuch in the palace.

"As long as the emperor can use it, the grass people will do their best." Qi Xiang will do this kind of superficial work very well.

Eunuch Li had to go back to the palace to return to his life, so he didn't stay any longer.

After seeing off the people in the palace, Steward Pan looked at the rewards in the courtyard and asked, "My lord, where do you put these things?"

Qi Xiang thought for a while, and said: "Let's put some in each room, it's okay to be messy. The emperor should know that our yard is small, and we have rewarded so many things. If we clean it up immediately, in case people from the palace come again Seeing this, I would suspect that we have another hospital. Originally, it was no big deal to have a separate hospital, but I came to Beijing relying on the help of the virtuous mansion. Even if the clothing store opened, it would only be for income within a few months, and the money would not be net profit. The virtuous family For these rewards, it is unreasonable for me to find another courtyard to release these."

Qi Xiang will definitely not do such a confusing thing, even if it is just superfluous, he will be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

"Young Master is more thoughtful." Pan Butler smiled, the family would be in chaos, but as long as it doesn't affect Qi Xiang's plan, it's fine.

but ten

Zhou flashed out from the wing room, just now when Eunuch Li came, he didn't come out, anyway, the martial arts of those guards were far from his, so they wouldn't notice that there was someone else in the room.

"Master, these things are going to occupy your house." Qi Xiang casually opened two boxes, one was silver and the other was jade.

"It seems that the emperor is really happy this time." But Shi Zhou didn't value these silver coins and jade objects, he had seen many more than these.

Qi Xiang sat on the box, "How can he be unhappy? It's not a loss to exchange these things for the peace of the country."

"Then do you think it's a loss? I traded those good grains for these things." Que Shizhou asked with a smile.

Qi Xiang thought for a while, then smiled warmly: "It's worth it, it's worth it to exchange food for the peace of Bai Junyu's army."

"That's good." But Shi Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with Qi Xiang's unrequited love for Bai Junyu. Since this is the motivation for Qi Xiang to live, it would be better to have a bond all the time.

"The third prince hasn't moved yet?" Qi Xiang got up, asked Master to enter the room and said that it would be convenient for Butler Pan to clean up here.

"No, I still haven't gone to prison."

Qi Xiang took her seat and tapped on the table, "The third prince really held his breath this time, He Li was tortured and didn't mention a word, I underestimated them."

But Shi Zhou still knew Qi Xiang well, "When the news came before, you just listened to it. What did you think of when you said so much this time?"

"There is no basis, it's just speculation." Qi Xiang likes to think about it when he is free, which is one of the reasons why his health has not improved—too much worry.

Now that he has guessed everything, Shi Zhou is also very interested in listening, "Let's talk about it."

"He Li didn't say anything. He obviously waited for someone to save him so that he would have a chance to make a comeback. He said too much and made mistakes. He worked for the third prince before, and he must have counted on the third prince when something happened. He hasn't vomited yet. One word, it should be that the third prince will save him, as for what can make the third prince take this risk, it must be what the third prince urgently needs." Qi Xiang said in a calm tone, as if playing on ice, "Then what does He Li have that can be exchanged with the third prince? It must not be He Yuen. If the third prince really has feelings for He Yuen, he would have gone to the queen to ask for it. Even if he can't be the main concubine, it is more than enough to be a side concubine."

"The third prince is a prince, what can He Li have, and it is difficult for him to get it? Before He Li didn't rely on the third prince, at most he would accept a little bribe, gold and silver things, the third prince would not let go In the eyes. After thinking about it, there is only one thing."

"What?" Que Shizhou asked.

"The grain mixed with stones was exchanged for the good grain. Just like us, we got a batch of good grain in our hands, and He Li must have it in his hands. It's just that we haven't found it yet, so it can be seen that it is well hidden."

But Shi Zhou immediately followed Qi Xiang's train of thought, "So you think the third prince needs food, and He Li uses the food in his hand as a bargaining chip to block the third prince and save him?"

"That's what it means."

"Then why does the third prince need food?" Que Shizhou asked leisurely.

Qi Xiang asked back with a smile: "Master, why do we have to leave some food?"

But Shi Zhou was startled, "You mean...but our people didn't catch any evidence."

"No hurry. Actually, I think He Li lost the bet this time. But the fox will always show his tail, and he will know sooner or later."

"What if it's not what you guessed?" But Shizhou felt that Qi Xiang's guess was very interesting, but it was just a guess, just listen to it for fun.

Qi Xiang turned over two cups and poured tea, "It's wrong, and we have no loss at all."

In a blink of an eye, it will be some time before the army reaches the border.

Because of various things in the middle, the new grain has not yet been delivered, and all kinds of wild game have been relied on along the way, but the matter of mixing the grain with stones has not aroused everyone's suspicion.Fortunately, there is still some food in the border. Although it is not much, it should be able to last until the new food is delivered. In addition, with General Cangli in charge, everything is still stable.

The arrival of the fourth prince and Bai Junyu also boosted the morale of the army. They won the two rounds of the battle, and the atmosphere at the border also eased a lot of depression.

The news of He Li's capture has already reached Bai Junyu's ears

, Bai Junyu was very calm, from the moment he suspected He Li, he had already drawn a clean slate from the He family.As for He Yu'en... After all, she was a girl he liked before, a girl's family, and I'm afraid I don't know much about the things in between. If possible, saving her life would be considered as benevolent and righteous.

Speaking of He Yuen, he couldn't help but think of Qi Xiang.Qi Xiang is not in the court to seek affairs, so this matter has nothing to do with it, the He family was raided, Qi Xiang is no longer threatened, and he can really feel at ease.

Bai Ru rushed in, "General! The Keli tribe has gathered a large number of troops to suppress the situation. General Cangli, please go to the main tent to discuss and prepare for the battle."

Bai Junyu took up the weapon and asked as he walked out, "How many people are there this time?"

The Keli people's soldiers and horses are actually not as many as Okawa's, but they are all brave and good at fighting. As nomads on horseback, they are better at fighting on horseback, and they like to use big knives, which are extremely lethal.

Bai Ru followed and said, "I don't know for now, but there are more than before."

"Order someone to take care of the food in case of a surprise attack."

"Yes."

This time, more than [-] Keli people came, which can be regarded as exhausting their manpower, obviously preparing to enter the city in one fell swoop.

In addition to the soldiers who had to stay behind, General Cang Li also brought as many troops as possible to the frontier pass to fight against the city.

"Come on!!" The Keli tribe launched the offensive first.

General Cang Li didn't show weakness, he raised his hand high and shouted: "Come on!"

The two armies were fighting, the sounds of fighting and drums were mixed together, and the sound of blood and flesh being cut was so clear when the soldiers collided. The mottled grass was stained with blood-colored flowers. At first glance, it was gorgeous and bloody.

Bai Junyu raised his sword to fight, and between swings, he killed the enemy in front of the horse. The blood droplets scattered and splashed for several feet, like the rain that was caught off guard, but there was no feeling of coolness, only the turbid smell...

"Xi Cho! Not good!" Rong Cang shouted behind Bai Junyu.

Bai Junyu turned her head to look, and saw a thick smoke rising upright in the city, and the billowing momentum was unstoppable.

Bai Junyu's pupils shrank suddenly - that should be where the granary is!

The soldiers on the battlefield also noticed it, and they panicked, not knowing whether they should continue fighting or go back to put out the fire.That was a granary, and if the food was burned out, they would not be able to survive either!

The enemy general laughed loudly, "Okay, the gods help me the Keli clan! The Sichuan army will be defeated, let me charge!!!"

The Keli people were passionate, shouting and rushing forward.

General Cang Li is also busy commanding the battle, but the fire in the rear is really hard to calm the army, and everyone is unable to cope with it.

General Cangli tried his best to get out of the crowd, and leaned towards Bai Junyu, "Isn't there a food watcher in the city?"

While killing, Bai Junyu said, "I'm afraid it's an internal thief."

General Cangli angrily chopped off the head of an enemy, "Now you are an enemy, what should you do?"

Bai Junyu calmed down, "Since it's an internal thief, it's too late for us to go back and rescue them now. We'll deal with the enemy first, and then we'll talk about the rest!"

General Cang Li thought the same way, so he shouted again, asking someone to beat the attack drum.

The enemy general saw the right moment, rushed away from Dachuan soldiers, and headed straight for Rongcang.

Rong Cang is the prince, if he can get his head, it will be no worse than beheading General Cangli.

The enemy's lord was coming very fast, Rong Cang couldn't react in time, Bai Junyu couldn't care less when he saw the situation, he drove his horse straight and knocked Rong Cang's horse away, the enemy lord swung his sword down, blood splattered everywhere——
