Chapter 172

This Yuan Xia country can't fall into Xiao Yu's hands.

He thought this way, but still respectfully said on the face: "Your Highness, there is really no extra money. Last year, the emperor allocated more than 500 taels to His Highness to build dams and bridges in Hainan last year. Isn’t the house also used the money from the treasury? It’s really not possible to allocate so much at this time, and besides, the emperor just built a temple at the beginning of this year, and used 200 taels.”

The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department is called Liang Yuan, Xiao Yu stared at him straight, and he didn't know where Xiao Jin got such a person, he was not very useful.

"Is there no 1 taels for the Lone Cavalry Iron Army?" Xiao Yu asked.

In the cold weather, Liang Yuan's back was directly soaked in sweat, and he kept raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, "Go back to His Royal Highness, let alone 1 taels, even 50 treasuries can't be allocated. The household department is in debt now."

Are you in debt?
Xiao Yu propped his head with one hand, his lips curled up slightly, he was sure that there was someone beside the emperor.

Besides him, Xiao Jin, and the King of Xiling, there is another force among them who wants to drag him into the water, to be precise, it wants to drag the entire East Palace into the water.

"What is His Royal Highness laughing at?" Liang Yuan asked boldly.

"Laugh at you stupid," Xiao Yu got up, and despised him: "Whether you can dial it or not, you must see 1 taels after the year. If you can't see it, it will be considered as emptying the national treasury and stealing your family's fortune. We have to get it out too."

His voice was as cold as the cold wind, Liang Yuan's body shook, he swallowed his saliva, sent him away in fear, and stomped his feet anxiously when he returned to the house.

When Xiao Yu walked to the door and heard the wind, he held an umbrella for him, and the two of them went one in front of the other.

Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly. If Ah Si hadn't waited for him to go back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, Liang Yuan would have died today. Why didn't he know his identity?Dare to challenge him, I really don't want to live.

"Master, what should we do now?" Wen Feng asked.

"Didn't I say it just now? If you can't make it all up, you'll ransack the house. Every official will take turns copying it. Can you still make it up?"

Footprints were printed in the places they walked, and they were covered again by heavy snow after a while.

Back in the East Palace, Ning Jinsi and Shen Yicheng were already sitting at the table waiting.

"You can be regarded as coming back," Shen Yicheng ran over: "I can't eat until you come back."

Xiao Yu took off the cloak and gave it to Wenfeng, walked to the table and sat down beside Ning Jinsi, Ning Jinsi poured wine for him: "I just came back from outside, drink some wine to warm my body."

Xiao Yu accepted it in response, and in the middle of the meal, Shen Yicheng was already on the verge of getting drunk, propped his head on his hands, looked at Xiao Yu wobbly, and said, "I heard that you will send troops to fight in the next year? "

Xiao Yu didn't know why he asked this, so he gave a neutral 'hmm'.

"You take me with you?" Shen Yicheng narrowed his eyes: "You take me there, I won't make trouble."

Xiao Yu stared at him for a moment before he realized what he meant, and said, "You don't know martial arts, and if you go, you will only add to the chaos. I will avenge your father's revenge. You stay in Chang'an well..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yicheng suddenly cried, shrugging his shoulders: "But I want to avenge him personally... you take me there, okay?"

His voice was hoarse and choked up.

Li Chuan pursed his lips tightly, and raised his hand to cover his back, as if to comfort him.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, he ate his own food without looking at him, Shen Yicheng was still crying, Li Chuan couldn't bear it, and said, "I'll avenge you, just wait for me at home obediently, okay?"

The tone seemed to be coaxing a child, it was too gentle, Xiao Yu glanced at him and said nothing, he knew that if Shen Yicheng couldn't go, then Li Chuan would definitely go for him.

He had almost lost his life on the battlefield, not to mention this time he was fighting against King Xiling who had been resting for more than ten years.

The whole country celebrates the victory, the whole country is in an uproar when the defeat is defeated, and the whole country mourns together.

Shen Yicheng looked at him sideways and shook his head: "You can't go."

"I can." Li Chuan didn't care what he said, as long as he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Shen Yicheng didn't speak anymore. In fact, he didn't want Li Chuan to take risks, but he knew that as long as Li Chuan said this, he would definitely do it.

"I'll take you back." After saluting to Xiao Yu, Li Chuan helped Shen Yicheng go out, walked to the door, got on his horse sideways, and held him firmly in his arms.

The cold wind blew head-on, and Shen Yicheng became a little more awake, "You..."

"If I can come back alive, can you grant me a request?" Li Chuan stopped him.

The horse was bumping, and Shen Yicheng nodded intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't speak, and the two of them looked at each other silently in the cold wind.

……

As soon as the new year is over, an army of the King of Xiling has already started fighting at Yuqiong Pass. If they break through Yuqiong Pass, the next step will be Chenghe and Sishui River Pass. After breaking through one by one, it will be Chang'an. The country is about to change hands.

"Your Highness, I will wait for your return in Chang'an." Ning Jinsi took out a safety charm from his sleeve and handed it to him: "You must be safe and sound."

Xiao Yu held her hand: "Don't worry, if there is any change in the city, please tell me, don't carry it alone, I will stay by your side with the Eighty Dark Guards."

Ning Jinsi nodded and straightened his neckline. Below the city are thousands of soldiers, the hope of Yuan Xia. Inside the city are the common people who came to see off the troops. Ning Jinsi stood on the city wall and watched Xiao Yu go down the tower and get on his horse. The horse raised its front hooves ferociously and let out a long roar.

When Xiao Yu turned his head, his eyes were full of Ning Jinsi, and he seemed to raise his lips.

With the knife hanging on his waist, Li Chuan turned his head slightly to look at Shen Yicheng who was mixed in the crowd, and without saying a word, he turned his head and rode his horse away with the army.

The horn resounded through the entire city of Chang'an in the cold wind, and the sound of iron hooves shook the ground like a thunderstorm, shaking the people present, and a huge team snaked forward like a giant black dragon.

On the city wall, Xiao Jin stood in an extremely inconspicuous place, but her eyes fell on Ning Jinsi in front, her thin lips curled up intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Yu is gone, you are in my palm, and I can't go anywhere except Chang'an.

Ning Jinsi turned around and met Xiao Jin's eyes, paused for a moment, then smiled.

Xiao Jin looked at her, and realized that her smile was very similar to Xiao Yu's, the smile didn't reach her eyes, making it difficult to understand her.

Half an hour later, the people at the gate of the city dispersed, as did the people on the wall. Ning Jinsi looked around and walked up to Xiao Jin: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"

When Xiao Jin heard the voice, she stopped and turned to look at her until she walked in front of her: "Is there something wrong with the princess?"

"Yes," Ning Jinsi smiled, "Chang'an is now in the hands of King Jin alone. I want to make a bet with His Highness King Jin. I wonder if His Highness would like it?"

Xiao Jin looked her up and down, "I'm a good gambler, since the princess wants to gamble with me, why don't you tell me what the bet is first?"

"Of course it's what His Royal Highness King Jin wants most." She smiled.

Xiao Jin looked her up and down, then smiled, and said, "What does the Princess want to bet on?"

Ning Jinsi looked around, and said in a low voice, "I bet that His Highness will leave Chang'an before the cavalry army returns from victory, and His Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the throne."

Xiao Jin was stunned, looking at Ning Jinsi's eyes, there was a hint of cowardice in his heart, but he was not a cowardly person, he knew that there would be sacrifices if he achieved great things, besides, whether Xiao Yu could come back was a problem, not to mention the throne, What a wishful thinking.

"Then if the Princess loses, then she will be my concubine."

Now the position of Princess Jin is not given to her.

 This article is a mess, not just about feelings.
