The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 141
"Second brother, where did you get this thing?"

Lu Wanlan raised her eyebrows, as if quite surprised: "Also, why did you go to the boat? What's going on with this outfit?"

She remembered that Sixth Brother had just said that he got this contract because of all his beauty, and there was unknowingly sighing in his words.

"What is... all the beauty?"

But it's okay not to mention this. Hearing the younger sister's question, the fourth brother Lu Yunzhao sighed:

"Hey~ little sister, if you want to say that brothers should thank brother-in-law, if he hadn't sent Senior Bai to the prison to rescue us, we might have encountered disaster long ago."

"Oh, no wonder he let me..." Lu Wanlan smiled gratifiedly.

Unexpectedly, this man is usually as cold as ice, but he is still very reliable at critical moments!

"No!!" Unexpectedly, the second brother suddenly took over the conversation and stood up abruptly, "This is called saving us? This guy is too..."

"Hey! Well, well, what are you talking about! Aren't we doing well~"

Seeing that the second child was about to start nagging again, the fourth brother Lu Yunzhao hurried him to the outside room.

"It's not the fourth, why are you dragging me?!" Lu Yunfan adjusted the bright red skirt on his body, quite dissatisfied.

The white-headed old bird was indeed sent by Xiao Yanzhi to save them, but he never expected that this old man was actually on a mission to save himself.

They had known for a long time that the wealthy Jiangnan merchants would discuss the cotton and silk business with Xie Huaijin on the boat, and they also knew that Lu Yunfan wanted to get in the way.

But they deliberately prevented a few people from going to the canal, until they agreed to let the old man have a share, and then they were willing to take a few people there.

But it was still a step too late, Xie Huaijin had already reached a consensus with this person.In desperation, the few people had no choice but to do what they wanted and tried their best to get the rich businessman drunk before stealing this thing!
It's just that when they succeeded and wanted to leave, the Iron Claw Pulsatilla turned his face faster than a book!

Lu Yunfan is now angrily crossing his hips, his chest is already rising and falling:

"If it weren't for this old thing, we would be like this..."

But when he saw the fourth child waving his hands in front of him, he choked back his words.

"Don't tell my little sister about the problems that we men can solve." Lu Yunzhao whispered to him, "Besides, he can't take things away now, so I leave it to my little sister to deal with..."

"Second brother! Fourth brother!"

Before the two of them finished talking, they heard Lu Wanlan yell anxiously, and they immediately put on smiles and walked in:
"Hey! What's the matter, little sister?"

Apparently Lu Wanlan didn't notice the difference between the two, but kept observing the contract: "So, the Xie family not only sells salted cloth, but also makes it themselves."

"You can say that." Lu Yunzhao nodded and said again, "But we only know where the cotton came from, and where did the salt come from?"

"Didn't the fifth brother say last time that the salt is well salt?" Lu Yunfan desperately recalled, "My little sister also said that Shanxi only produces lake salt, not well salt."

Lu Yunzhao nodded: "I remember that too! Later I asked someone to inquire about it. Now only the southwestern area produces well salt, but the terrain there is steep and there are often bandits. If all kinds of materials are not escorted with the military equipment, I am afraid it will not be good. Bring it here, so I didn't mention it again..."

As he was talking, he saw several people in the bedroom staring at him suddenly, with fire snakes appearing from their eyes.

Inexplicably feeling a bit depressed, Lu Yunzhao took two steps back and took a sip of tea: "I said, you, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Southwest border? Armament?"

The brothers were of course angry because Lu Yunzhao didn't report his knowledge.

Lu Yunfan leaned over, grabbed the teacup and took a sip: "Why didn't you tell such important information earlier!"

"Recent things have happened one after another, I'm not..."

Just as Lu Yunzhao was about to explain, he heard Lu Wanlan on the bed categorically say:
"It's the Feng family."

As she spoke, she found out from the silk quilt under her body a map of the defense of the south of the Yangtze River that she had drawn from her memory.

This was when she was expanding the palace, she glanced casually from Xiao Yanzhi's study, and wrote down: "I'm afraid the defense map has been changed, but some problems can still be seen."

With a slight lift of the white catkin, it spread out in front of the brothers.

"We don't know much about this, take a look, Old Six."

As Lu Yunzhao spoke, he pushed Lu Yunce forward.

In his mind, among the six brothers in the family, except for the eldest and the third, only the sixth knows a little bit about the art of war and defense, while the rest of the brothers, including himself, don't know anything about it.

Lu Yunce reached out to take it, shook it habitually, scanned it roughly, and then raised his head and said:

"The Feng family's ancestral home is in the southwest, and Feng Xingyu has been guarding the border in the southwest. Three months ago, because of the rebellion of the 37 barbarians in Lingnan, they transferred their troops to Lingnan and the Jiangnan canal. It's not surprising that they set up defenses near our salt field. "

"Take a closer look."

Lu Wanlan took the hot tea brought by fifth elder brother Lu Yungui, lowered her head and took a sip, but when she raised her head again, her gloomy and ruthless eyes shone coldly through the curling heat.

Lu Yunce seldom saw the young girl's expression like this, so he lowered his eyes to look carefully.

Seeing the expression on the sixth child's face gradually became dignified, the brothers also became nervous.

"This, the deployment of the saltworks and the canal, something is wrong, it seems..."

"It seems that it was deliberately arranged for the barbarian army to attack."

A word to the point!
Lu Yunce re-patted the defense map on the table, gritted his teeth and said:

"It's no wonder that the 37th Barbarian Division, which couldn't even be defeated by the infantry of the Feng family, was wiped out with only [-] cavalry. After a long time, it turned out that he, the Feng family, was the inner ghost and passively responded to the battle!"

Hearing the meaning of the words, Lu Yunzhao suddenly realized: "A few days ago, our family's military salt was ambushed by the Jiangnan Canal, so it may be the Feng family?"

"And the well salt!" Lu Yungui seemed to understand, "They occupied the Jiangnan canal, and then used the official ships to transport the salt to the south of the Yangtze River to make salty cloth."

Everything that happened recently seems to have a clue because of this contract.

After listening to the analysis of his younger brothers, Lu Yunfan, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyebrows angrily:
"Unexpectedly, Fengxing Yutangtang, a Zhaoyong general, is also a military officer of the third rank, and there is Xie's support behind him, why is this so?"

"Perhaps, the Feng family's [-] troops is also an imaginary number." Lu Wanlan paused, and his voice became lower and lower, "They have always been attached to the Xie family. They may be good at marching and fighting, but they can only be a sword of the Ministry of War."

After hearing these words, Lu Yunfan slammed his fist on the table, his peach-like cheeks were covered with angry flames:

"Hey~ Their Feng family just has no seeds! Look at when our Lu family was led away by the nose by Xie Huaibin!"

"Second brother, don't get excited." Lu Wanlan was afraid that he would hurt his hand, and hastily dissuaded him, "Let's stay put while I recuperate for the next few days. Let's talk about everything when third brother comes back."

Speaking of the third brother Lu Yunli, the brothers suddenly remembered that they hadn't heard from him for a while.

"Last time I sent a letter to third brother Feige about the well salt, but third brother has always..."

Before Lu Yungui finished speaking, he heard a soft voice from behind: "If you go out to me now, maybe you can still see Lu Yunli."

Everyone turned their heads suddenly, only to see that the screen at the door had disappeared at some point.

And Xiao Yanzhi, who was sitting at the red sandalwood round table, had just finished drinking a cup of tea, and was looking up at them with a smile on his lips.
