After the prince enters the play

Chapter 145 Chapter 145: The surprise came too suddenly
Su Xinyi mentioned the matter of the caravan to King Rong before, but this time, King Rong was still a little hesitant.

He looked at Su Xinyi suspiciously, always feeling that she was tricking him, but he had no evidence, so he asked tentatively, "Why do you insist on looking for me? Can't you just look for the prince?"

Su Xinyi's heart choked for a moment. If it wasn't for the fear that the Queen would use some means to drag her down, she actually didn't want to drag King Rong into the water. Besides, she was using the name of King Rong to hold the Queen back. It's a black hand, but if it really happens, King Rong will also have credit for it.

When she thought of this, she became confident, looked at him and said: "You said before that we have a friendship to fight side by side. Naturally, I will be the first to think of you when there is such a good thing. Besides, His Royal Highness, as the prince of a country , Of course His Highness needs to be asked to help with such important matters, but asking His Highness to come forward before the caravan is established is too much trouble.”

King Rong frowned, and said angrily: "What do you mean by that? Isn't it a big deal if my feelings make me come forward?"

Could it be that he is a head lower than the prince?
pissed him off!

"Why are you so angry, listen to me." Su Xinyi looked at King Rong and continued to flicker, "Good iron is used on the blade, think about it, if our caravan is completed, it will be worthwhile in this year. How much money? If we can really get the map of the tribes outside the Great Wall, how much credit will it be? Whether it is the Tatars or the Oirats, they will go to war with the Southern Qi sooner or later if their ambitions are not dead. By then, you will say that we have a lot of things in our hands. Important? This is a great contribution, you look far away, don't be a man and don't care about it."

King Rong felt that these words were very pleasant to his ears, but he felt that there was something wrong. After thinking about it seriously, he turned his head and looked at Su Xinyi, wishing he could slap the table angrily, "You are really treacherous, this is just drawing big cakes out of thin air. I really don’t know the Year of the Monkey until that day.”

"It took Goujian ten years to achieve hegemony, His Highness wouldn't just wait a year or two, would he?" Su Xinyi sneered.

Knowing that Su Xinyi is provocative, but King Rong just couldn't swallow this breath, and said: "Don't provoke me, let the prince go if you have the ability."

"What you said, you and I teamed up to form a caravan, and His Royal Highness is right at court, compared to which one of you is more risky?"

"Do you really dare to say that the prince will agree to you?" Rong Wang didn't believe it. Who would do such a stupid thing? Even if the prince had some friendship with Su Xinyi, it would not be impeached by those censors because of her. .

The exchange market has long been closed. If Su Xinyi's caravan wants to trade across the border, it is tantamount to jumping hard on the court's laws. Wouldn't those staid old guys in the court who talk about benevolence and morality jump up?

Su Xinyi felt a little relieved when he heard this, but with a look of disappointment on his face, he sighed softly, "According to what the prince said, I was just wishful thinking, I just want to do something practical, and I want to let the frontier army and The life of the people in the border towns is easier. If we want to find out the map outside the Great Wall, we don't have to be passively beaten. We can take the initiative to attack when the time is right. That's why I came up with this method. Although it is somewhat illegal, it is the only one I can think of. If the prince says it can’t be done, then forget it. Speaking of it, I’m just a little girl, and it’s not like I can get involved in the affairs of state affairs, but I’m superfluous.”

Su Xinyi is aggressive. King Rong felt that he had to suppress her prestige and confronted her everywhere, but he was a little embarrassed by her being so frustrated and showing weakness, and felt that he had done too much.

What Su Xinyi said is right, how much benefit she can get from doing these things, at most it is just earning some money, the biggest benefit is from the court, and the court is their own.

"It's not impossible..." Rong Wang coughed lightly, "You let me think about it, you can't treat those old men in the court as too gentlemen, you can't talk about it in the court, you have to do it quietly."

Su Xinyi thought she knew, but if she didn't say that, how could King Rong take the initiative to help, so he immediately looked surprised, "Can't you say it in the court? But such a big matter can't be discussed by the court?"

"What is the court discussion? This is not the opening of the exchange market. Besides, even though the exchange market is closed, it's not like you don't know that there are caravans in private." Rong Wang sneered, this kind of thing can't stop.

Profit is the word, and some people are not afraid of losing their heads.

"Then what should I do?" Su Xinyi asked humbly for advice, "My lord knows that I grew up in the countryside, and I don't know anything about court affairs."

King Rong also had a headache, but it was rare to encounter Su Xinyi's shortcomings. Of course, he couldn't show his timidity, and immediately said, "Let me think about it, there must be a way."

There is a way, a ready-made one, as long as he joins forces with the prince, the matter will be much simpler.

Such a big movement must not be hidden from the eyes of the prince, and Su Xinyi did not intend to hide it from the prince. If he wants to act safely, the best way is to mess with the prince... Bah, the best strategy is to join hands with the prince .

However, it was a bit embarrassing for him to go to the prince to ask for peace, and he couldn't bear it.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has come down."

King Rong was taken aback for a moment, then stood up all of a sudden, "Who? The prince?"

"Yes, Your Highness has already entered the main entrance."

King Rong glanced sideways at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi immediately understood the look in King Rong's eyes, thinking that she had discussed with the prince.

"I haven't seen His Highness the Crown Prince since I returned to the city yesterday." Su Xinyi said immediately.

King Rong withdrew his gaze and walked out. The prince arrived, and he, the younger brother, had to welcome him.

Su Xinyi went out together behind King Rong, and through the second gate, he saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing under the flower tree in the front yard with his hands behind his hands, the shadows were sparse and slanted, and the broken light was clear and shallow. In the border town where the war is raging, it seems like a fairy descended to earth.

"Brother, why are you here suddenly?" Rong Wang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a smile on his face, his words were a bit rude, he almost said directly, it's impolite for you to come to the door quietly.

Su Xinyi's eyebrows twitched when she heard Wang Rong's words, she didn't say anything, and stood aside silently after seeing the ceremony.

In the past, she would definitely have taken the initiative to greet the prince, but today it involves major business matters, especially what she said to King Rong before is not good, and now she is acting as if she is very familiar with the prince, isn't this demoralizing herself?
The prince turned around, looked at King Rong with a stiff smile, and then at Su Xinyi who was exceptionally silent today, his gentle face slightly retracted, and then he said slowly: "Gu just passed by here, so come in and ask Seventh Brother One sentence, when do you plan to return to the capital?"

Rong Wang didn't believe it, the prince had nothing to do and would not do such a boring thing, he wanted to say something, but then he thought that the caravan would need the prince's help, so he swallowed the words abruptly, gritted his teeth, Only then did he squeeze out a smile and said: "Since the elder brother is here, I just happen to have a meal here by the way. The younger brother has something to discuss with the elder brother."

The prince glanced at King Rong, "Let's talk about it now, you don't need to eat, and you will return to the city soon, there are still many things to do."

Su Xinyi looked at the hypocrisy of the two brothers and felt tired for them. It was really no surprise that they fought like that in her previous life. She felt that no matter what happened in the future, at least she couldn't tear her face apart in front of her, lest King Rong couldn't help but jump. , she had no choice but to stand up and smile at the prince, pinching her nose, "It's my daughter who wants to ask His Highness the prince for help..."

Hearing the words, the prince turned his head to look at Su Xinyi, "Since you are seeking loneliness, why are you here with King Rong?"

He was the seventh younger brother before, but now he is King Rong again, the smile on King Rong's face is gone.

Brotherhood is really as thin as paper.

Su Xinyi raised her head and looked at the prince in surprise. This was the first time she had seen His Highness like this, and it seemed a little... not quite right.

I'm afraid that the prince really misunderstood, she just wanted to use Rong Wang as a conscience, and dragged him into the water to make the queen feel afraid, not to make the prince suspicious of her.

She immediately explained the matter clearly and neatly. Of course, she focused on a slightly different angle from what the crown prince said, so His Highness the crown prince's intelligence must be able to hear it.

Hearing Su Xinyi talk about this matter, the prince remembered that she had mentioned it once when he met her before, but they didn't have a chance to discuss it deeply because of the lack of time, so it was because of this.

The prince looked at King Rong's face as usual, and said in a deep voice: "The exchange market has been closed, and it is absolutely impossible to reopen the exchange market under the current situation. It is illegal to do business. Have you ever imagined what will happen if this news gets out? ?”

King Rong knew that the prince would say this. He has always been a hypocrite and hypocrite, so he immediately said: "Of course we don't care about small things when doing big things. We don't build caravans for making money, but for the sake of the country. As the prince, how can you Hold back because of mere rumors?"

Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong in surprise. When he met the prince, this guy's IQ went online instantly, and his attack power doubled.

The crown prince frowned slightly, looked at King Rong and said angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense, forceful words. Do you dare to put these words in the court?"

Of course King Rong didn't dare, if he dared, why would he need to drag the prince into the water!

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand before, but when she heard the crown prince reprimanding King Rong, her mind suddenly brightened, and she immediately stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness is right, because this matter cannot be brought up in court, so The minister asked His Royal Highness Rong Wang for advice, and His Royal Highness Rong Wang told the minister that this matter is of great importance, one cannot act recklessly, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be asked to uphold justice."

King Rong:?
What kind of nonsense is Su Xinyi talking about? When did he say that?
Hearing Su Xinyi's words, the crown prince had a smile in his eyes, and now he was clever, knowing that he could use his own words to support King Rong, so he continued to say with a straight face: "Seventh brother, sixth girl's words are true. ?”

King Rong's tone is up and down, how can he admit this kind of tactful flattery to the prince?When does he need the prince to uphold justice?
However, thinking of the great cause of the caravan, he had no choice but to admit it, gritted his teeth and said, "It's true, brother, you know that the old officials in the court are very annoying. If you want to accomplish this, of course you can't let them know. So you have to think of a thoughtful solution.”

After saying this, King Rong gave Su Xinyi a sideways glance.

Su Xinyi smiled approvingly at him.

Rong Wang has a heart attack, what is this called, slapping himself in the face?

In view of the tacit understanding between the crown prince and Su Xinyi to set up King Rong high, so that he could not get out of this matter easily, the matter of the caravan was really discussed seriously.

King Rong's idea is quite simple, that is, to form a caravan according to Su Xinyi's intention, and use Yulinwei to enter and exit the pass, but after discussing and discussing more and more things, it is simply a headache.

For example, borrowing Yulinwei to enter and exit, Yulinwei is such a big place, the caravan would not be too small if they want to go around outside the Great Wall.

It is not easy to want Yulin Wei to shut up and turn a blind eye.

Another example is the formation of a caravan, who will be arranged in the caravan, whether the prince will add people, whether the king will add people, what arrangements does Su Xinyi have for the caravan?
And how to go south to buy, go north to deliver letters, how to hide from the sky...

The matter was too cumbersome, and King Rong had a headache. When he was working in the capital, as long as he ordered it, everything would be fine. But because this matter was not visible, they had to discuss it carefully and be considerate in everything. He didn't know that it was so tedious and tiring.

After discussing a simple charter, it was several hours later. Rong Wanggong sent the prince away, and then took a look at Su Xinyi who had left with the prince. He regretted getting on this thief ship.

On the way back, Su Xinyi was one step behind the prince, and the two walked one after the other, while Pang Lan followed from a distance with his guards.

Because robbing the enemy's food and grass is considered a great victory, the people in the city are full of joy at this time, there are more pedestrians on the street than before, and laughter can be heard everywhere.

Seeing the joyful smiles on the faces of the people, Su Xinyi slowly eased his tense heart, and slowed down slightly.

After walking a few steps, Yan Jun suddenly felt that the people behind him were not catching up. He stopped and turned his head slightly, watching her slow down and look sideways at the pedestrians in the distance, with a smile on her face.

He stopped, waited for her to walk in and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Su Xinyi came back to his senses when he heard the prince's voice suddenly, and replied: "I am also happy to see everyone happy."

The prince smiled slightly when he heard this, "Really? It is indeed a happy thing."

Su Xinyi felt a little embarrassed when the prince said this. She was telling the truth, but people who didn't know the truth sounded like she was a hypocrite.

"Your Highness, can the caravan business work?" Su Xinyi asked in a low voice.

Yan Junchu looked down at Su Xinyi's face, "Whether it works or not, aren't you always working hard to do it? If it doesn't work, you don't do it?"

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "I don't know."

"Oh? Why don't you know?"

"Does Your Highness want to hear the truth?"

"Need to lie between you and me?"

Hearing this, Su Xinyi raised her head and glanced at the prince. Seeing that he looked serious, she felt a little guilty. Of course, she would not be as sincere as the foolish one in her previous life. She kept silent, and said, "Although I really want to do this However, I also know that it is not easy, just getting in and out of Yulinwei is extremely difficult, I will try my best to do it, but if this is really done and the Su family is in danger, I will give up."

Su Xinyi has experienced it, and knows that things in the world are not what she can do as she wants, and it is enough to do what she can.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, she didn't answer his previous question, but just picked up a topic, he lowered his eyes slightly, then nodded, "This is really true."

Su Xinyi smiled, didn't say anything this time, and fell silent.

Yan Junchu didn't say anything else, sent Su Xinyi back, and then turned and went to the Yamen.

His residence in the city was given to Su Xinyi, and he settled down directly in the Yamen, becoming a neighbor with Zhu Pengzu.

Su Xinyi stood at the door and stared at the back of the prince leaving, pursed her lips, turned and entered the door.

On the third day after Su Yi followed Yang Jin and led his troops to pursue the enemy, it suddenly rained heavily. Bean-sized raindrops fell down.

It hadn't rained for a long time, even in the heavy rain, Su Xinyi could hear the cheers of the people.

This heavy rain may give the herdsmen on the grassland a little respite. The heavy rain that lasted for half a day turned to light rain and fell overnight. The next day, a round of scorching sun rose in the blue sky.

After the heavy rain, the wind on the prairie became a little bit cooler. Guo Meng and Xiong Bingyuan joined forces. A sudden heavy rain made the road on the prairie muddy, making it unsuitable for continued pursuit.

"Brother Guo, what should we do now?" Xiong Bingyuan asked with a light cough, squinting his eyes and staring into the distance.

Guo Meng sighed, "The heavy rain came suddenly, we were not prepared, and many soldiers in the army were drenched by the rain. If we continue to chase like this, I'm afraid our bodies will not be able to bear it."

"That's right, and the Tartars are familiar with this place, and this rain has wiped away the traces of their escape. It may not be a good thing for us to go deep alone." Xiong Bingyuan said meaningfully.

Guo Meng and him looked at each other. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that they couldn't chase. Although it was a pity, but after a heavy rain, if they continued to chase, many people in their own army would fall ill and fall down. And because the road on the grassland was difficult due to this rain, and the follow-up food and grass could not keep up, if the enemy came back with a carbine, it was really hard for them to say whether they could win.

Take it when you see it.

After the two discussed it, they ordered to turn back. Su Yi was under Guo Meng's tent, and when he got the order, he immediately sent people to leave the camp. Although he happened to not be on duty during the heavy rain yesterday, his companion who was drenched by the rain collapsed after returning, and faintly With some signs of fever, he was very worried, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the order to return to the city.

They had only gone for three days in pursuit, but it took them more than four days to go back. Moreover, Guo Meng and Xiong Bingyuan expected that many soldiers fell ill and fell ill. Rush to the barracks.

On Su Xinyi's side, Han Qingling said after changing the medicine: "Miss Liu, there is no need to change this medicine. The wound has healed very well. You still can't get wet recently, and you should continue to pay attention to your food."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Miss Laohan is here these days."

Han Qingling said in a hurry, not daring, and packed up her medical box neatly, "If the sixth girl still has some discomfort, if you let the girl come over, you have to send someone to the barracks to pass the message. I will go directly to the barracks after I get out of you." .”

Su Xinyi was taken aback, "Go to the barracks?"

Han Qingling nodded, "The chasing army returned to the city, and many soldiers fell ill from the rain. The doctors and householders were ordered to go to the barracks. I will also help."

"Is it great?" Su Xinyi asked hastily.

"I don't know yet, but because the army came back in time, it shouldn't be a big problem." Han Qingling carried the medical kit on her back, "Miss Six has no other orders, and Minnv will leave now."

Su Xinyi nodded, watching Han Qingling's back leave.

After she left, Su Xinyi was worried about her elder brother, so she hurried to visit him. It was a coincidence that the two siblings met at the door.

Su Yi's armor was covered in dust, he was very surprised to see his sister, looked at her and said, "Why are you here?"

Su Xinyi sized up his elder brother, and after seeing that he was in good spirits, he said, "I heard that you guys are back, so I'll come and have a look. Brother, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Su Yi said as he brought his younger sister into the door, "It happened that I didn't have a shift when it was raining, but most of the soldiers who were on duty that day were sick."

"is it serious?"

"The two commanders made a timely decision to withdraw the troops and return to the city. It looks good so far." Su Yi asked his sister to sit down, washed his face first, took off his armor and changed his clothes, and then came back to talk to her.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

I am afraid that such a thing has happened before, and the result is naturally extremely tragic. The sick soldiers did not receive timely diagnosis and treatment, and the delay caused the epidemic. It is really unbearable to look back.

"Are you going back to the capital with me this time?" Su Yi looked at his sister and asked, he was thinking about how to persuade her to go with him, "This time all the food and grass of the Tartars have been intercepted, and it is impossible to attack again in a short time Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guard, our team originally came here with Commander Guo, and we will go back after the battle. Once I leave, it will be difficult for you to stay as a post."

Su Xinyi's heart softened when he heard his elder brother's careful words to persuade her, and said with a smile, "Brother, I know."

Su Yi was also happy, "You are so smart, I know I can't hide it from you, you have made great achievements this time, I have written a letter and sent it back to the capital, and my family will be happy for you when they find out. Xin Yi, this time the Tatars are short If you don’t have the strength to commit another crime within a certain period of time, it doesn’t make much sense for you to stay.”

"Brother, I understand what you mean." Su Xinyi sighed inwardly. If she could successfully form a women's barracks according to the previous plan, she would be able to stay. Ordering the encirclement and pursuit was timely, and the Tartars suffered heavy losses this time, which indirectly broke her chance to take advantage of the situation to form a female barracks. "I'll go back with you."

"Really?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Su Yi couldn't believe his ears.

Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother like this, and nodded with a smile, "However, there is still one thing that elder brother needs to help with."

Hearing this, Su Yi looked at his younger sister, his heart fluttered, and he said cautiously, "What's the matter, tell me first and I'll listen."
