Chapter 186

...

"Father, calm down." Qin Yu was worried that the emperor would get angry. Recently, he was so busy with border affairs, and with such troublesome things, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would not be able to bear it.

The emperor sighed, "Well, has the murderer who assassinated King Zhao been found?"

Qin Yu said, "It's someone sent by Prince Beilie. It seems that only we in Xiliang have the machine crossbow. He wants to take it back and study it."

The emperor's eyebrows were stern, "You have to do a good job in keeping the crossbow design confidential, and now that King Zhao is injured, you will take over the archer in the future. After reorganizing the team, rush to Taigu Cang City immediately to assist the prince in fighting the enemy." .”

Qin Yu supported him, "Well, after Ning Yi and the others get married, I will set off again."

The emperor frowned, "Are you going to take them with you?"

"My son thinks it's time to train Ning Yi and Jinghou to help the sixth brother manage the archers."

"Are you going to expand the army of sharp archers?" The emperor's eyes were filled with shock.

"Yes, my son received the news that Bei Lie and Nan Lin had contact, and I was afraid that they would join forces, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had to guard against it."

"The machine crossbow is so powerful that it's hard to guarantee that the Eastern Jin Dynasty won't covet it."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty had elite weapons, and there were many capable people. If the machine crossbow were in their hands, they would be able to make a perfect copy. They would be able to create the same machine crossbow without the need for blueprints, and they might be able to improve it to a more elite machine crossbow.

The emperor frowned and said, "It takes time to cultivate talents and money to expand the archers. Now the border war is tight and the treasury is empty. I'm afraid..."

In the past, Qin Yu commanded more than 30 Qin family troops, and the emperor didn't need to worry about military pay and food at all.

Now that the soldiers and horses are in the hands of the crown prince, Qin Yu will let him go.

The recent military pay, food and grass are all in charge of the imperial court, so much military pay and food and grass are needed to support at once, the emperor knows how hard it is for Qin Yu to manage more than 30 Qin family troops, and how easy it is for the court.

Because Qin Wang is the prince and a member of the royal family, he can earn money, so raising the Qin family army is like raising his own soldiers and horses. The emperor is at ease with him, so he never worried about it.

Recently, because of the need to raise military salaries, the emperor and several ministers have been exhausted physically and mentally, and they are too embarrassed to ask the King of Qin to support them.

After all, the king of Qin doesn't care about the Qin family's army now, and fighting is a matter for the court. There is also the prince, who married the daughters of the Bai family and the Murong family, so he should find a way to raise money to support soldiers and horses.

But who knows, the prince is not willing to spend money to raise soldiers and horses at all, and wants to suck the blood of King Qin.

This approach made many ministers secretly feel chilled and dissatisfied. How can such a selfish and narrow-minded person be worthy of a big responsibility in the future? !
Compared with King Qin, the crown prince is far behind.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Father, don't worry about money matters, I will take care of it myself."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, are the drugstores and hot pot restaurants that opened recently doing good business?"

"Jiu'er owns the drugstore, so it has nothing to do with me." Qin Yu looked at Feng Jiu and said.

The emperor looked at Feng Jiu, thinking that she had done a lot for helping the King of Qin recently, so he smiled, "I just got a new pair of gems, you can take them back."

Feng Jiu immediately said happily, "Thank you, father, for the reward."

The emperor is real.

She doesn't like to hear those meaningless praises, but she likes the emperor's direct use of gems to reward actions.

Eunuch Fu brought the gem, which was an emerald gem.

Feng Jiu took it with a smile and thanked him again, and then gave the emperor two bottles of Yangshen Pills as a gift in return.

The emperor was also happy, because after taking the nourishing pill prepared by Feng Jiu, he found that his body was much better than before, with the vitality of his youth, and his skin felt younger.

Then all the troubles of the day were swept away, and he said to Qin Yu, "I'll pack a hot pot later."

Qin Yu frowned and said, "Hot pot has a strong taste, it's bad for your father to eat too much."

The emperor likes the spicy taste of hot pot. As an emperor, it is not easy to show his preference in front of people, so he said, "Then you won't tell the cook not to make such a strong taste. I just ate it twice, not much." .”

Qin Yu: "..."

Not even allowed to eat a hot pot, the emperor glared at his son and left angrily.

Eunuch Fu laughed and said, "The emperor has been in good health recently, and his appetite has also improved. Thanks to the health-care pill prepared by Princess Qin, this pill is more effective than eating ginseng and bird's nest."

"Really, then I'll make two more bottles for the emperor later." Feng Jiu said cheerfully, holding the gemstone. The health pills she made for the emperor were made with herbs grown in the space and added with spiritual spring water. Others are different.

Eunuch Fu and the others didn't know that they only thought Feng Jiu had excellent medical skills.

...

After leaving the palace, the two went to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

King Zhao's poison has been cured, but he was injured and poisoned, and his body has suffered a loss and needs to be recuperated.

"Thank you fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law."

Feng Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you, just treat Mianmian well in the future."

Xiao Mianmian was touched for a while, she had never done anything for Feng Jiu at ordinary times, but she begged for mercy when she was punished by the Queen Mother, but Feng Jiu seemed to be thinking about it all the time, not only helping her take care of her body, but also treating her illnesses. Willing to accept money, and always thinking of her, Xiao Mianmian felt that Feng Jiu was a very affectionate person, so she couldn't help but hold Feng Jiu's hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law."

"Well, that's all right, let's have a good chat, we're going back." Feng Jiu liked Zhao Wang and his wife very much, and treated them as brothers and sisters, and would not care so much about them.

The two plan to go back.

At this time, the boy from the hot pot restaurant hurried over, "My lord, it's not good, something happened to the hot pot restaurant."

"What happened?" Lin Feng asked.

The boy said nervously, "Our hot pot restaurant has killed people, Mr. Lu and the others were taken away by the people from the Yamen to investigate."

Qin Yu and Feng Jiu looked at each other, "Who died? When did you eat hot pot at our hot pot restaurant?"

"It's an ordinary person who ate hot pot in our restaurant yesterday." The boy told him as he walked, "It's not him alone, there are a few fellow villagers who came to work with him, they are from the vicinity of the capital. Villagers, usually come to rich families in the capital to do part-time work, repair houses, and carry these jobs."

"The little one remembers it very clearly. They often come to our hotpot restaurant to eat hotpot together. Their name is Liu Erhu."

Because the meat in the hot pot restaurant is cheap and delicious, the young men love to eat meat even if they are doing hard work.

Qin Yu asked, "Have you sent someone to look for his fellow countrymen?"

"Yes, shopkeeper Liu told the people in the yamen immediately, and asked Brother Dark Guard to investigate these people."

Feng Jiu looked at Qin Yu, "The same pot of hot pot is fine for others to eat, but he is the only one who died. Something is wrong, maybe he killed him, or someone deliberately framed it."

Qin Yu's eyes darkened slightly, "Which family do they work part-time?"

"At Mr. Lu's house." The boy said, "Mr. Lu is going to marry a wife. He bought a house next door to Lu's house, and it is being repaired. He plans to move in after he gets married."

Qin Yu and the others knew about this, and it was Feng Jiu's suggestion to move out without separating the family and buy a house next door, so that it is convenient for them to communicate with the family, so there will be no conflicts.

Because Lu Yan, An Rubin, and Mu Rongjing's mothers are all aunts, their status is low, and if they haven't talked to Li Yi, it's even more impossible for them to leave their husband's house in this life.
