King Xiao Qing suddenly said: "It's no wonder his medical skills are so high, even the cold that has accumulated on you and me for many years can be removed. Don't worry, Yunshang, this place is all your own."

Luo Yunshang nodded slightly, but thinking that Gu Feiyang was not dead, he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Suddenly, someone reported outside the tent: "Commander, we have arrived at Shuichang City ahead, shall we enter the city or go around the city?"

Chen Dasheng frowned, folded his hands and said in thought: "Zhuo Hongguang, the lord of Shuichang City, is also a member of the eldest prince Qin Yang, and we won't give him a good face when we enter the city, so as not to make trouble for ourselves, pass the order down, directly Make a detour. There should be Mingkou Town a hundred miles ahead, and you can massage and rest there."

"Yes!" The man took the order and was about to retreat.

Suddenly a voice came, "Slow down!"

Then he saw Ji Meng's figure walking into the commander's tent, he clasped his fists and said: "Commander, Yun Shaogang said that Shuichang City is the son of the eldest prince Qin Yang, he wants the army to stop and let me take it with you The student army went in to ask for some rations."

"Ask for some rations?" Chen Dasheng was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Is there not enough food and grass in the army?" He didn't know that Li Yunxiao had scrapped the Puyang City Lord's Mansion.

Ji Meng also showed a rare smile, and said: "Hey, I just borrowed some money from the eldest prince's people to spend."

faint!

Now the few people all understood, Chen Lin said angrily: "We are regular national army, not robbers! How can..."

Chen Dasheng made a gesture suddenly to prevent Chen Lin from continuing, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Now is the time for the crown prince to fight, and it is also a good thing to attack the enemy to fill yourself. I will give you a little time to burn incense, go and come back quickly!"

At the same time, he ordered: "Take a rest outside Dajun City for an incense stick!"

Ji Meng laughed loudly and said: "It doesn't take a stick of incense, I will be back within a quarter of an hour!" He tapped his feet and flew away.

Both Chen Lin and Han Qianfang were speechless for a while, feeling that the commander-in-chief doted on Li Yunxiao too much, and he could even do such illegal things. This was unimaginable before.

Soon the 800,000 troops stopped directly outside the city, and they organized themselves one after another. Ji Meng rushed into the city with two thousand student troops.

The soldier guarding the gate looked at the situation and dared not stop him.

More than 2,000 people were also very disciplined in the army. After entering the city, they rushed directly to the city lord's mansion.

What made everyone overjoyed was that Zhuo Hongguang, the lord of the city, was accepting twenty-seven concubines today, and congratulators from all walks of life all brought heavy gifts and beamed with joy. Zhuo Hongguang was also wearing the festive attire of the big red robe, and was visiting the hall with his fourteen-year-old concubine.

A servant trotted in with cold sweat on his face, and hurriedly whispered in Zhuo Hongguang's ear: "My lord, it's not good. Suddenly a large number of troops came outside, and they stopped outside our house!"

Zhuo Hongguang was taken aback for a moment, and then thought about it: "Could it be that some general also came to congratulate the Lord of the city? There seems to be no garrison around here?"

Just when he was in doubt, Ji Meng's voice came in, "The army of the Eastern Expedition passed through your land, and came here to borrow some money. Zhuo City Lord continues, don't worry about us. We just take some and go."

Soon more than 2,000 student troops directly rushed into the mansion, and even more than a dozen people ran in from the lobby, and swept away all the congratulatory gifts piled up in the hall in front of all the congratulators.

When Zhuo Hongguang came to his senses, the more than 2,000 student soldiers looked beaming and prepared to leave.

He flew into a rage, and when he was about to drive people into a rage, Ji Meng coldly swept out his sword, and the tallest moon-viewing building in the entire city lord's enclosure directly collapsed.

A sword fell down the building!

Now everyone was frightened and froze, the strongest commander in the city was only a nine-star great martial artist, so he hid on the spot, not daring to show his face. The rest of the people did not dare to say a word, and watched more than 2,000 student army commanders go away.

Sure enough, within less than a stick of incense, Ji Meng returned to the army with his troops. He came outside the commander's tent alone, and said with a smile on his face: "Marshal, you can continue to march!"

Chen Dasheng smiled cheerfully: "Looking at you like this, you have gained a lot, right? How many gold coins did you get?"

Han Qianfang also chuckled and said, "Although Shuichang City is not as rich as Puyang City, it is also one of the main cities of Tianshui Kingdom. I guess you have earned at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, or even millions."

Chen Lin was surprised: "Millions? So many?" He looked annoyed, "I would have gone too if I knew it!"

Ji Meng laughed and said, "Not much, not as good as one-tenth of Puyang City."

"Fuck! You guys also fished Puyang City!" Chen Dasheng stared and said, "No wonder you are familiar with the road, how much did you get here?"

Ji Meng thought for a while with his fingers and said: "Without careful counting, the gold coins alone are only more than 30 million. The other various rare treasures are probably worth 100 to 200 million."

"What? Thirty million gold coins! One or two billion treasures!" Han Qianfang bit his tongue directly, opening his mouth in pain and screaming.

Chen Dasheng even dropped his eyeballs to the ground, and said in shock: "The national military expenditure for a year is only one billion gold coins! How can there be so much money?"

Chen Lin was also going crazy, and said frantically, "You just said that this is less than one-tenth of Puyang City?"

Only King Xiao Qing and Luo Yunshang had a very indifferent concept of money, and after being slightly surprised, they smiled and remained silent.

Han Qianfang cried: "Commander, let's go back to the army and go to Puyang City again."

Chen Dasheng was stunned. He opened the curtain and saw that the more than 2,000 student soldiers outside were all beaming, their morale was high, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

Ji Meng smiled and said: "I'm going back to report to Young Master Yun." He jumped up, landed on Li Yunxiao's chariot in the distance, and walked in.

"Father!" Chen Lin also cried, "I've never seen so many gold coins in my life. It's the same expedition. It's my first time leading soldiers to fight. I'm afraid I'll become the richest man in the country after returning. We also led soldiers to fight. , After so many years, poor jingle!"

"Yes, Commander!" Han Qianfang also complained with a bitter face, "I have been a general for so many years, and I have never seen so much money except for the military salary. When will I be able to retire richly?"

Chen Dasheng was upset, he slapped the table, and shouted: "Bring me the map!"

Immediately, a sergeant took out a marching map and spread it out on the table. Chen Lin didn't understand, so he said in a daze, "Father, what are you doing looking at the marching map?"

Chen Dasheng waved his hand, and looked carefully at the marching map, "Look at the cities ahead of the prince's forces, one, two, three, four..."

He counted them one by one, Chen Lin and Han Qianfang fainted immediately, but soon became excited, their eyes were full of gold coins.

"Only five?" Chen Dasheng said in a daze, "Not enough!" He paced back and forth a few times, then slapped the table and said, "We will take a detour two days later, and we can pass three more cities. Anyway, Li Changfeng is not in a hurry These two days!"

"Okay! We also agree!" Han Qianfang and the two stood up abruptly, both smiling happily.

The 800,000 troops immediately changed their original marching plan and began to take a detour.

Wherever he passed, everyone was smiling and smiling, only the city lord of the local city was crying.

There are thirteen main cities in Tianshui Kingdom, and there are more than 30 small cities. The city owners are the highest local officials, almost the emperor of the land, and they are lifelong and can be hereditary. Therefore, in some city lords with a long history, the mansion lords are all extremely rich.

Soon, the memorials flew into the capital like snowflakes and reached the court. At the same time, it also fell into the mansion of the eldest prince Qin Yang, because all the people who were robbed were all attached to his forces.

"boom!"

Another messenger was kicked to death by Qin Yang, and he yelled in the mansion furiously, "King Xiao Qing, Chen Dasheng! You and I are irreconcilable!"

Gao Feng calmly said behind him: "Another place was robbed?"

Qin Yang roared: "All these years, I have relied on the financial resources provided by the city lords of these places to develop into the power I am today! Now not only the financial resources are cut off, but also the Central Army is gone, and the Golden Lion Army is gone, almost overnight. Suddenly, the general trend left me, how could there be such a ridiculous thing!"

Gao Feng also felt that the changes had been too fast during this period of time. He said with a gloomy face: "It seems that what Li Yi said is true, then Li Yunxiao is really a monster! Ever since he rose up and fell to Qin Yue, everyone The prince's power began to disintegrate violently, and everyone began to rely on Qin Yue."

Qin Yang's eyes burst into flames, and he said angrily: "Li Yunxiao really deserves to die! Now even Li Yi himself is alive and dead, and his whereabouts are unknown! A few days ago, there was news that even the old fox Lan Hong had started to stand in line, and directly gave Xiang That bastard concubine sent tens of millions of birthday gifts! They leave me one by one, are they so disrespectful of me?!"

A flash of determination flashed in Gao Feng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Prince, don't worry, don't forget that we still have the biggest hole card, as long as we show it at that time, even if the whole world is on Qin Yue's side, it won't help!"

Only then did Qin Yang calm down a little, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said to Gao Feng: "Yes, this is my biggest hole card, and the only hole card! Commander Gao, you are my most trusted confidant, You must handle this matter safely and securely for me! When I ascend the throne, you will be an existence under one person and above ten thousand people!"

Gao Feng bowed down and said: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, this matter is about to be completed. I will definitely hurry up and never make mistakes!"

Qin Yang coldly said: "Very good!"

It was only then that he regained his air of a high and mighty prince a little bit, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, he said in a cold voice: "You guys wait for me one by one, and see how I can scratch you to death!"

After a few days of detours and hurrying, the Eastern Expeditionary Army finally arrived at Anyong City after eight days, and Kunjin City would be tens of miles ahead.

Ernst & Young City is a small city, strategically located only as a buffer hub.
