I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

Uneasy, they had no choice but to go out and inquire.

As a result, they learned a shocking news. Their master Mu Lao had indeed escaped from prison, but the one who was rescued was not the prince, but Tuberose disguised as the prince.

Tuberose's disguise was so successful that no one saw any flaws along the way.

And he hid it so deeply that he even killed Mu Lao during the process of being rescued.

In the battle of Hulao Pass, he also killed another Daxia Grandmaster.

The two Great Xia Grandmasters both died in his hands, which was terrifying and hateful.

Therefore, the prince's rescue operation naturally failed.

After learning the news, all of them were frightened and their backs were soaked.

"Mr. Wang, what should we do now?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not rescued, and our Daxia minister died in this operation. How should we explain to His Majesty after we return?"

"His Majesty will definitely be furious and we will be finished!"

"Mr. Wang, think of a solution quickly!"

……

All Daxia officials panicked.

Mr. Wang sighed, with a bitter look on his face:"What else can I do? I can only go back and plead guilty to His Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not rescued, and Mu Lao was in trouble again. He really lost his wife and lost his army! I only hope that Your Majesty will be happy Ci, don't take your anger out on us!"

The others nodded, their faces looking very ugly.

Touch your chest and remove the cold.

At this moment, a tall and mighty man broke in, glanced at everyone eagerly, and nodded:"It seems that we have found the wrong person. You should be the Daxia officials who came to negotiate with us this time, right?"

Now the grass and trees are all under attack. Seeing a powerful person breaking in, the Daxia delegation was scared to the corner.

One of the officials hesitated and said:"You, you, you... are you? What are you looking for... for us?""

"I am an agent from Dawu Six Gates, Daniel!"

Daniu put one hand on his hips and held a knife in the other, standing very majestic and with a serious look on his face:"I am here this time on the entrustment of Uncle Zhongyong, the prefect of Detian Mansion, and Master Lin Beifan of the Imperial Academy's Jiji Winery, to bring you something. An oral message!

Everyone in Daxia looked at each other, and Master Wang asked:"What does he want to tell us?""

"Master Lin asked me to tell you!"Danniu shouted:"Remember to take the indemnity treaty and credentials back, and make compensation according to the items recorded above. Don't play any more tricks on us, or you will look good! We can kill two of your grand masters, and we can also kill the third one, or even kill you in the palace, and we will bear the consequences!"

Everyone in Daxia broke out in a cold sweat again.

Master Wang tremblingly raised his hands and said:"Yes, this...Master Daniel, I have remembered it!"

"Just remember, I’m leaving!"

Da Niu looked at everyone again and left coldly.

Everyone in Daxia went back with the indemnity treaty and credentials, and also reported everything to Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia also became honest and followed the instructions honestly. The indemnity letter was used to pay the compensation, but I didn't dare to take any action. I was afraid that another grandmaster would get involved, and I was even more afraid that the other party would come to the capital. A strong man who could kill a grandmaster was terrifying!

So, a large amount of supplies were transported to Hulao Pass. , and then transported along the waterway to Detianfu, the capital of Dawu. Dawu's treasury quickly became full.

However, this made King Jiangnan greedy.

You know, what he lacks most now is food.

Because there is no food, he has to rob Other people's food caused the economy of Jiangnan to collapse. Since there was no food, he had to let his soldiers farm the fields and dig tree roots to eat.

But now, the imperial court has so much food and so many supplies. It really made him jealous.

After thinking about it for two days, King Jiangnan gritted his teeth and said:"Just grab it! Wang Fugui was shocked:"

My lord, this is too dangerous!" You know, in order to protect the food, the imperial court sent heavy troops to escort along the road! If we want to grab food, we will definitely confront the court directly! The imperial court has just won a great victory and its morale is booming. It should avoid its sharp edges! It would be unwise for us to send troops at this time!"

"Moreover, even if we grab the food, how will we transport the food back? We carry a large amount of food, so our movements are bound to be very slow. How can we be an opponent of the imperial court?"

"And one last thing! Wang Fugui cupped his hands and said,"My lord, it's really not appropriate to start an army now!" Now the imperial court is still powerful. Once we confront the imperial court, it is inevitable that we will lose troops, and in the end we will take advantage of others!"

The King of Jiangnan looked tangled, and this was where he hesitated. It was very dangerous to grab food, and it was very likely that he would lose his troops, and the gain would outweigh the gain.

But without food, his development was limited.

"Therefore, I thought of a good plan!"

"My lord, what's your plan?"

"Since it is very dangerous for us to grab food, why not contact another person to grab food together! In this way, we have someone to share the risk with us, and our chances of success are greatly improved! King Jiangnan looked at Wang Fugui with a hint of expectation:"What do you think of this plan?""

"Your Majesty, this plan is indeed a good one, but who should you cooperate with?"

"Of course it is my royal brother, King Jibei!"The king of Jiangnan said with a smile:"He is in the north and I am in the south. If we go up and down, we will attack from both sides, and the chance of winning will be higher! I will write a letter to him. As long as he is ambitious, he will not remain indifferent! Maybe, he is also coveting this supply now! The more King Jiangnan thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. He slapped his thigh at the end and said,"That's it!""

So, he immediately wrote a letter to the King of Jibei to discuss the matter of grabbing grain.

The King of Jibei saw it and was very moved.

However, he did not make up his mind, but handed the letter to Mr. Zhuge next to him.

"Military advisor, come and see, do you think this plan is feasible? Mr. Zhuge looked at it and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, the King of Jiangnan is short of food, so he came up with the idea of ​​grabbing food!" However, I was afraid of the imperial troops, so I contacted us to act together!"

The King of Jibei nodded, he also had the same idea.

"Military advisor, what do you think?

Mr. Zhuge cupped his hands and said,"Prince Qi, I think this plan is inappropriate!""

The King of Jibei was surprised:"Why is it inappropriate?"

"First of all, grabbing food is really dangerous!

Mr. Zhuge said:"This batch of food is so important to the court. They must guard it tightly. We don't have many opportunities to take action!" Even if we grab the food, how to transport it back is still a problem!"

"In this process, there will definitely be struggle and killing, and casualties will be inevitable! If the imperial court is impatient and directly burns the grain, it will be more of a loss than gain for us!"

The King of Jibei nodded:"What you said, military advisor, is very reasonable!"

"Second, we don’t need that much food at all! Mr. Zhuge cupped his hands and said,"

Your Majesty, the people below us are all practicing the Sunflower Book. After practicing, everyone can win one, and there is no need for so many soldiers and horses!" There are not many soldiers and horses, so naturally we don’t need so much food! We have enough food now, so why take risks!"

The King of Jibei nodded again:"That's right!"

"Third, Your Majesty, what we need now is to develop secretly and accumulate strength!"

"We only have to endure it for a few months. After everyone successfully practices the Sunflower Manual, the great cause will be unexpectedly achieved! But once it is exposed and targeted by the court, it will be greatly detrimental to our plan!

Mr. Zhuge whispered:"Tianmen was exposed in this way before, resulting in failure!" The leader of the Tianmen Sect was reduced from being the leader of a sect to a rat on the street, and his whole life's hard work was in vain! Your Majesty, we must not make the same mistake again!"

The King of Jibei was shocked.

The Tianmen annihilation of the sect was still vivid in his mind!

Such a powerful super sect, a sect that could threaten the imperial court, was beaten repeatedly by the imperial court just because the entire sect had practiced the evil-fighting sword manual. What a joke.

What his men practice is not the evil-proofing sword manual, but it is also an evil skill.

Once the situation is exposed, his great cause will be over!

"Military advisor, you are right, we must not repeat the same mistakes! It seems that this matter of grabbing food should not be ignored!"The King of Jibei waved his hand

"Your Majesty, you can actually handle it!"

"Military advisor, what do you mean?

Mr. Zhuge lowered his head and smiled:"Your Majesty, although we are not grabbing food, we can pretend to cooperate with King Jiangnan. Once we do it, we will retreat and let King Jiangnan grab food by himself!" In this way, it is inevitable that the King of Jiangnan will lose his troops, but we are safe and sound! My lord, are you satisfied with this plan?

King Jibei's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and shouted:"What a plan!" I like it very much! Ha ha!"

The King of Jiangnan is his old enemy and a strong contender for his throne. If he can lose his troops and suffer a big loss, he will be very happy and strongly support it.

Mr. Zhuge continued to smile and said:"Your Majesty, we can still contact The number one scholar in the capital...no, he should be called Lord Fu Yin now. Let him advise the court and let the court prepare! As a result, King Jiangnan will inevitably be doomed and suffer heavy losses!"

The King of Jibei smiled from ear to ear:"Not bad, not bad! You must contact Mr. Lin and ask him to make suggestions to the court and kill my good brother, haha!"

So not long after, Lin Beifan received a letter from the King of Jibei.

After reading the secret letter, Lin Beifan smiled:"Killing with a borrowed knife?"

So, in the court, Lin Beifan reported the matter to the empress

"Your Majesty, there is currently a batch of grain transported from Hulao Pass to the capital. The amount of grain is huge! There is a shortage of food in Jiangnan, and I suspect that the king of Jiangnan may take risks and take advantage of the opportunity to plunder! This matter must be guarded against!

The empress nodded:"Ai Qing is right, this matter must be guarded against!" Where is the commander-in-chief of Jin Yiwei?"

"I'm here!"The commander-in-chief stood up.

The empress ordered:"Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Jiangnan Army and report any situation immediately! When necessary, local troops can be mobilized to intercept! Also, don’t relax in the direction of Northern Hebei!"

"I obey the decree!"The commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei took the order.

"Your Majesty, no need to bother! I have a plan that can make the King of Jiangnan lose his troops and lose his wealth without any effort! Lin Beifan chuckled.

The empress's eyes lit up:"Lin Aiqing, tell me quickly!""
