The Era of National Martial Arts in the City

Chapter 96: Dry Bones in the Grave

Xu Xiaoran smiled, he didn’t expect that this Cao Zhengchun still had such a hand, and released the ancient three links, not only at himself, but also at his old rival Zhu Zheng.

It’s just that Cao Zhengchun probably didn’t expect the temper of the ancient three links, not only was beaten by the other party, but the ancient three links also came directly in line with their own military camp, and not long after they came out, they were locked up again by the Divine Strategy Army.

“He is the undefeated urchin of the year, the ancient three links?” Gu Xichao was also interested and asked curiously.

Xu Xiaoran nodded.

“Unexpectedly, the ancient three links actually reappeared.” Gu Xichao said with a smile.

The two walked out of the Lock Soul Building and chatted casually about this incident.

“That’s right, Xi Chao!” Xu Xiaoran suddenly remembered something.

Gu Xi turned his head in confusion.

A brilliant light flashed in Xu Xiaoran’s eyes and said, “We are on the border, do we still have an intelligence network?” ”

Gu Xichao was shocked and said, “Also, Shuai, you mean…”

Xu Xiaoran nodded: “This time outside, I found something wrong. ”

Gu Xichao nodded solemnly.

“Hehe, don’t be too nervous, but you send someone to investigate first, send more people, it’s better to go deeper, there may be some actions on Meng Yuan’s side recently.”

“Well, I see.”

Xu Xiaoran nodded and did not speak again, and the two fell silent.

After a long time, Xu Xiaoran spoke again and said: “Also, take this opportunity to expand the intelligence network, whether it is news and intelligence in the capital or in the rivers and lakes, we all need to have a good mental understanding.” ”

“This…” Gu Xichao’s face suddenly showed a hesitant look, opened his mouth, and did not speak.

Xu Xiaoran soon saw Gu Xichao’s expression and quickly asked, “How?” Are there any difficulties? ”

For Gu Xichao’s reaction, Xu Xiaoran also had some doubts, these things he said, it should not be difficult for Gu Xichao?

Gu Xichao shook his head with a bitter smile before slowly saying, “Shuai, there is indeed a problem!” ”

“Tell me about it!” Xu Xiaoran looked up and asked.

“We’re out of money!”

“What?” Xu Xiaoran opened his eyes wide, and he couldn’t believe his ears.

There was no money, I thought it was something else, but Gu Xichao actually said that they lacked money.

You must know what their divine strategy army is, it is the top army in the entire Daming, and the military expenditure allocated by the imperial court every year is astronomical, not to mention, they have some of their own industries, and they also have a huge income every year, but now Gu Xichao says that he lacks money.

Xu Xiaoran looked at Gu Xichao in shock, hoping that he had misheard, but Gu Xichao just nodded with a wry smile.

“How? Could it be that someone has withheld our military expenses? Xu Xiaoran asked sharply.

Xu Xiaoran quickly thought of a possible problem, and a cold feeling suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Gu Xichao shook his head and said, “It’s not, no one has this guts.” ”

“Then this is…”

“Alas!” Gu Xichao let out a long sigh and said: “There are too many things this year, not to mention what happened in the first half of the year, some time ago our army relocated, it cost astronomical amounts, and next year’s military expenses will take a while to be issued, during this time, our army is using its own money to top.” ”

Xu Xiaoran nodded and asked, “The imperial court didn’t say anything?” ”

Gu Xichao smiled bitterly again and said, “If it is a normal military expenditure, naturally no one dares to make a move against my Divine Strategy Army, but this additional cost is different, and it is impossible for people like Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Lian to let us pass smoothly.” ”

“Originally, every year, the extremely rich Wan3000 would hand over a large amount of taxes and donations to the imperial court, and our Divine Strategy Army was the main place to benefit, but this year, Wan 3000 suddenly listened to the donations given to us, so for now, the military camp has no extra money.”

Xu Xiaoran nodded and understood the beginning and end of the matter.

However, this thirteen thousand, Xu Xiaoran quickly understood the source of the problem.

Wan Sanqian and Zhu ignored the relationship, it must be Zhu Ignoring the provocation.

“Thirteen thousand! Hum. Xu Xiaoran snorted coldly.

For Wan 3000, he has always not been very eye-catching, this person is indeed a talent in business, but definitely not a smart person, from his mixing with Jin Zhu to ignore the rebellion, it can be seen that in the original work, even if the two did not turn against each other in advance, after Zhu ignored the success, he would definitely not let him go, and if Zhu ignored the failure, the imperial court naturally could not let him go.

Doing such a stupid thing, Xu Xiaoran naturally scoffed.

And Wan 3000 this person is by no means an open-minded person, from the fact that he concentrated all his rights and the command of his cause in a treasure chest, and carried it with him, it can be seen that Wan 3000’s character is definitely a very enthusiastic person about power, otherwise he would not be involved in rebellion.

But it was this behavior of the other party that made Xu Xiaoran laugh, if Sanqian did this, although it seemed safe, it was a stupid thing, if he delegated the power of business, then with his huge business empire, some people would weigh one or two even if they wanted to deal with him.

But the other party concentrated absolute power in his own hands, or in a treasure chest, which became a joke.

Don’t look at the majesty of Wan 300 now, but in the eyes of some high-level officials, he is just an undefended fat pig.

This is the case in the original work, thirteen thousand died at the hands of Zhu Yan, the treasure chest also fell into the hands of the other party, and his life’s career is just to make wedding clothes for others.

Xu Xiaoran smiled, in his opinion, thirteen thousand were just dry bones in the grave, and the treasure chest in the other party’s hand might not fall into whose hands.

“Well, I know the matter, you don’t have to worry about the money, I will find a way, just set up the shelf for you first, so let’s send Ziyunwei out first, and quickly create the overall outline.”

Gu Xichao hesitated for a moment, and nodded quickly to show that he understood, he knew that the marshal would never say falsehood.

“Well, so be it, you go and do it first, and I’ll handle the rest.” Xu Xiaoran said with a smile.

“Yes!”
