There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 181 Ten thousand stones is still too much
"Nonsense!" Emperor Jing Yuan was furious.

"I don't have any food or soldiers, so I won't give him any!" The veins on Emperor Jingyuan's forehead were bulging, and the cloudy eyeballs were so round that they almost jumped out of their sockets.

The queen was delighted in her heart, and she rolled her eyes cautiously to test it out.

"The emperor...then..."

"Just say what you have to say!" Emperor Jing Yuan was impatient.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is bold!" The queen suddenly knelt down: "The fake pregnancy in the Chen Palace was all done by that bitch, the former concubine. The concubine and Yan'er didn't even know about it and dared not lie to the emperor!"

"Now that bitch has received his retribution, and his concubine and Yan'er have also been punished. Although Yan'er's half-year term has not yet come, Yan'er has always been filial. He must know his mistake!"

"Your Majesty, give him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

Emperor Jing Yuan narrowed his cloudy eyes.

"what do you mean?"

The queen stepped forward on her knees and whispered softly in Emperor Jingyuan's ear.

"The emperor's worry is not unreasonable. The only one who can solve the emperor's worries and problems is Yan'er. How about..."

The old emperor's eyes flashed, and he fell into deep thought.

……

The Golden Gobi, fifty miles north of Yongguan City, was covered with tents. The war had lasted for dozens of days.

Xia Houjue was anxious in his heart. After raising food, he personally stationed outside the city with his own soldiers to protect the safety of the people.

In the big tent, Tang Wanning asked Xia Houjue.

"Didn't you say not to tell the capital? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Xia Houjue held the military book in his hand and didn't lift his head: "There are some things, the father doesn't know!"

"Then you are not afraid of his suspicion?"

"Afraid?" Xia Houjue sneered, "This word is too common, and Gu has long since become numb!"

"..." That's right, this poor baby has a stepmother, and his own father has also become a stepfather.

"You don't have to worry, Wan Wan, Gu will definitely protect you!"

Suddenly remembering what Zilian said in Hu Xuanlou, he tried his best to be gentle and not so cold.

However...someone rubbed the goose bumps on his arm with a chill.

"Hey...you...you want to open up a bit, but the emperor is still very kind to you!"

"..."

This woman, if it wasn't for the tension of the war, he wouldn't be in the mood, so he had to deal with her well.

……

October is destined to be an uneven month.

At the beginning of October, the king of Chen, Xia Houyan, was exonerated. He took [-] elite soldiers and escorted [-] shi of grain to Yongguan City in the northwest.

Along the way, he strictly guarded against this news to prevent it from being leaked, but what should be leaked still couldn't be kept.

The day before his departure, Xia Houjue had already received the news.

With a sneer, he lit the letter paper on the candle, with a faint gleam in his eyes.

"Father, father, you can be regarded as the king of a country. You have ruled the world for decades. In the end, you have not improved in other skills, but you are still so good at suspecting people."

"Then, don't blame my son for being rude!"

In front of Tang Wanning, he showed his truest appearance.

"Wanwan, are you afraid?"

"It's... okay?" Tang Wanning looked calm and trembling in her heart.

Although this man looked scary when he was angry, he was handsome after all, and handsome people are handsome when they are angry, which has nothing to do with being scary.

"Actually, I just want to ask, is this your purpose?"

"Yes!" Xia Houjue nodded again, speaking frankly.

Zilian said that if you want to pursue a woman's heart, you must do what she likes, you can't speak sarcasticly, and you can't have a concubine.

He can't miss one of these three things, he must do them all!

"Then you're pretty good!" Tang Wanning couldn't help but praise.

From just one letter, he knew that Emperor Jing Yuan would reactivate Prince Chen. This kind of strategy is really admirable.

"What if your father believes in you and really escorts you with food and grass so that you can fight hard?"

"That lonely man will fight hard and share his father's worries."

"Then what if the emperor sends someone else?"

"Impossible, don't forget, there is a queen in the harem!"

"I admire!" Tang Wanning gave him a thumbs up again.

Xia Hou laughed ironically, what kind of bullshit strategy is this, it is a lesson, a bloody lesson.

When Xia Houyan escorted [-] shi of grain to Yongguan City, he stood at the foot of the city on horseback, with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, the last time I lost, I lost the life of the princess! This time... you are the one to lose!"

"Come on! Bring the imperial decree and guides, and open the city gate!" He ordered loudly.

"Yes!" Several guards ordered.

The city gate opened quickly, and Xia Houjue greeted him personally.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?" His voice was full of excitement.

"Third brother, don't come here without any problems!" Xia Houyan squinted his long and narrow eyes, and his tone was not kind. He was not polite when he didn't get off the horse, and his tone was arrogant and rampant.

Xia Houjue remained calm, and personally dismounted Prince Chen with a smile, and took him to the city.

Along the way, he gave a general account of the situation in Northwest City.

"There are tens of thousands of barbarian enemy troops. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle to be fought. Did the fourth brother bring food and grass when he came back?"

"Of course I brought it!" Xia Houyan's expression was cold and arrogant.

"Father ordered that the crown prince and General Tang are both monarchs and ministers and in-laws, so they should unite and fight this tough battle with the outside world, so they ordered the ministers to bring [-] shi of grain!"

"Father said that it will be the end of the year soon, and there will be a period of shortage in the coming year, so we can't bother the common people. There is only so little food left in the treasury. Please save some food for the prince!"

"Ten thousand stones?" Xia Houjue pretended to be surprised, but he didn't come here empty-handed. There are still ten thousand stones, not bad, not bad, really underestimated the father.

"What? Could it be that the third brother is not satisfied?" Xia Houyan asked knowingly.

"No, my father is so powerful, how can I be dissatisfied as a son, the fourth brother should not talk nonsense!" Xia Houjue smiled lightly.

"That's good!" Xia Houyan gritted his teeth with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

……

When they arrived at the camp on the Golden Gobi in the north of Yongguan City, Xia Houyan was a little shocked.

He thought it was just a small battle, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce. Even though it was more than a hundred miles away from the front line, he could already smell the smell of blood wafting over.

"Conditions on the front line are not good, so let's make do with the fourth brother! I won't accompany you if I still have something to do!"

After Xia Houjue placed him in a tent behind him, he strode away.

"Third Brother, please go ahead!" Xia Houyan's expression was startled.

Standing in the tent and observing for a while, he sent his own soldiers out to investigate, and when he learned that there was really a fierce battle here, he was about to write a letter to the capital.

In the middle of writing the letter, he suddenly stopped, and after thinking about it, he still destroyed the letter.

"You don't need to write, and your father doesn't need to know, let the third brother use the [-] shi of grain to raise soldiers and fight, haha!" Xia Houyan smiled madly and bloodthirsty.

"Aren't you better than me in everything? Then I want to see if you can use [-] stones to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh no, ten thousand stones is still too much, I should..."

　Don't hit me, make it up tomorrow
