Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50, Emerging Army

The Sun family, the number one merchant family in Western Chu, has done business all over the world, got acquainted with all kinds of religions and nine streams, and has both black and white ways. It can be called a giant.

Under the political struggle of several power officials in Western Chu, he was uprooted by dozens of officials from Dali Temple.

In the past, the bells rang and the food was eaten, but now there are only empty houses and big white seals left.

In a large family, money is spent like running water. If there is no account, how can it last forever?
The staff of Dali Temple turned the place upside down, searched out all the normal accounts and hidden accounts, and put them in the study.

Qi Annan roughly swept it away, "That's it."

The two roughly calculated the total amount of silver hidden in the accounts. Over the past few years, there have been millions of taels.

"Here!" Huang Mengjue exclaimed, picking up a ledger.

Qi Annan took it, and said: "The account book that looks like this is the sales of weapons and horses, or it is a license from the Ministry of War."

Qi Annan paused, and explained: "The frontiers are made by official craftsmen, while the guards and institutions like Dali Temple are made by the Sun family."

"The Ministry of War is also a human being, and they all need money." Qi Annan added.

Huang Mengjue frowned, "I don't think Uncle Jiang is that kind of person, let alone the old general."

"That's hard to say." Qi Annan analyzed with reason and evidence: "Of course the old general won't, after all, he has a lot of rewards from His Majesty. But what about Jiang Shilang? There are many people in the family, and Jiang Wangsheng's expenses will not be small."

"Oh." Huang Mengjue was a little surprised.

"Besides, as the superiors, they must give the subordinates a proper amount of oil and water, so that they can be controlled." Qi Annan said.

Huang Mengjue said in her heart: "Then my father must have something wrong, I have to check it out some other day."

Qi Annan made up his mind, and said, "Armor, horses, grain, and weapons." He took another account book, "There are so many herbs that replenish qi and blood."

"Are they cultivating their own power?" Huang Mengjue was dumbfounded.

Qi Annan's expression was serious, "Adding up the top and bottom, there will definitely not be less than one army of soldiers enough to support them."

The two looked at each other and left with these accounts.

They first released a number of carrier pigeons and sent a letter to the capital to inform them of the situation.

Then let a few Dali Temple colleagues pretend to go out of the city through various gates, so as to confuse the public.

On the way, Qi Annan pondered, suppressed his heartbeat, and said, "Don't you want to know why I was ambushed by the Beili swordsmen?"

Huang Mengjue nodded.

"That day, I was going to the Fourth Prince Yun Fuhong to learn martial arts."

Huang Mengjue frowned and listened carefully.

"I met him because of martial arts. If it weren't for the rules of the royal family, I'm afraid we would have been brothers with different surnames." Qi Annan looked at Tianwang City from a distance, "That day, in order to tease him, I didn't go through the main entrance and climbed directly to the courtyard wall."

"Unexpectedly, I saw the plan of Yun Fuhong and the Beili people."

"Young Master Jiang, Your Majesty declares you to enter the palace." The young eunuch Xiao Jiu brought a dozen or so imperial guards to visit Jiang's mansion in person.

Jiang Wangsheng was stunned, pointing outside, just about to say something.

Xiao Jiu intercepted and said: "Master Jiang is currently working in the Ministry of War. Someone will inform Master Jiang later."

"Don't worry, wait until I finish eating." Jiang Wangsheng pointed at the fruit snacks on the table.

"It's urgent." Xiao Jiu emphasized her tone.

Jiang Wangsheng seemed to have thought of something, and smiled meaningfully, "Then let's go."

A group of people went to the imperial study room, and Xiao Jiu took Jiang Wangsheng into it.

"Caomin greets His Majesty." Jiang Wangsheng stood and bowed his hands.

Emperor Chu secretly said: "I'm really not used to it."

"Do you know him?" Chu Huang pointed to a young man in silver armor beside him.

"Yang Siqiang?"

"Brother Jiang Wangsheng?"

Emperor Chu gave Jiang Wangsheng a kit, "Take it apart and have a look."

"Yes."

After Jiang Wangsheng checked, he was surprised: "Beili's movements are so fast. Why are they attacking from the east?"

"What do you think?" Chu Huang asked.

Jiang Wangsheng said truthfully: "There is Lancang City in the east, and the owner of the city is a master of the heaven list. Although he has always been neutral, it is absolutely impossible for the Beili brigade to pass through."

"However, during the battle at Wangyuetai, I learned from Chen Xuan'an, a disciple of Frost Moon Sword Immortal, that the Lord of Lancang City had a relationship with Sword Immortal."

Yang Sizhen was curious: "What origin?"

"Back then, Wu Qiling and the Lord of Lancang met on the banks of the Lancang River. They knew each other and knew each other. The sword fairy fell in love, but the Lord of Lancang was separated because of his obsession with swordsmanship."

Jiang Wangsheng glanced at Emperor Chu, "Your Majesty should know, right?"

The Emperor Chu didn't answer him, and said solemnly: "Yang Silian, Jiang Wangsheng, listen to the order!"

"The minister is here." Yang Sixian knelt down.

"Caomin is here." Jiang Wangsheng stood upright.

Yang Sixian was shocked, he didn't know what he did to make His Majesty reward him to see Long Jia not kneel.

"Now, order the two of you to lead an army of [-] to march eastward to stop Beili. Set off immediately!"

"The minister (grassman) takes orders."

Just as Jiang Wangsheng was about to put the kit on the table, Emperor Chu waved his hand, "You take this thing."

Jiang Wangsheng looked at Emperor Chu in astonishment.

Chu Huang said: "It's considered a reward."

"Yes." Jiang Wangsheng wondered, what kind of reward is this?
Emperor Chu said intentionally or unintentionally: "As for the matter of Haoyue City, I have already handed it over to Dali Temple, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Wangsheng was about to step out of the door, Chu Huang said: "Don't be too extreme in doing things, leaving some leeway for others is also giving yourself some leeway."

Jiang Wangsheng turned his head and looked at Emperor Chu.

Chu Huang had already turned his back and walked towards the bookshelf.

"Brother Jiang, let's go."

Yang Sixian was enthusiastic, "From now on, the two of us will be comrades-in-arms."

"Yes. How is Old General Yang today?"

"My father is a dragon and a tiger. If he knew that I was going to the battlefield, he would be so envious that he couldn't eat." Yang Sixian said proudly.

"Ha ha."

Jiang Wangsheng fumbled for the kit, and left the palace with Yang Sixian to tidy up.

He wondered why his father was completely different from the past, he was always away from home, so he could only send someone to the Ministry of War to send a letter saying that he was going to the battlefield.

Yang Sixian was dressed in light armor and held a silver long spear with a cold light.

"The name of the gun is Iron Horse Binghe." Yang Si-li introduced it to Jiang Wangsheng.

"Iron Horse Binghe?" Jiang Wangsheng stared at the tiger-like spear tip.

Huang Mengjue and Qi Annan reined in suddenly.

"There are people in the woods!"

"I heard it too."

Heavy breathing came and went, the ground shook slightly, and with a long howl, cavalry rushed from all directions like a tide.

A large number of infantry swept the formation in the rear, with crossbows, straight knives, short blades, and long swords.

Among the infantry, apart from ordinary soldiers, there are also martial arts masters hidden in them.

When besieging the masters, one side's soldiers rush forward to consume their true energy, and the other side's martial arts masters take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack, even if they are ranked ninth in the Tianbang, they will die here.

Two ninth-rank horses approached.

Qi Annan frowned, "I just rested for a while, why are there so many Ninth Grades all of a sudden? It's everywhere!"

"With the means of the fourth prince, it's easy to cultivate a few ninth grades behind the scenes." Huang Mengjue glanced around, and Liu Mei frowned, "There are still many people from the world that he wins over."

"According to my calculations, his men are around six thousand, which means"

Qi Annan turned his head, and in the dense forest, people could be seen faintly.

"It's surrounded, and it's airtight. I'm afraid our carrier pigeons have also been stopped by them." Huang Mengjue analyzed.

The two dismounted and drew their swords out of their sheaths.

"There is a two-person sword formation in the Spring and Autumn Sword House." Qi Annan narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't expect that the first time I cooperated with my classmates was you!" Huang Mengjue pouted.

Qi Annan laughed, ready to fight, "When the time comes, don't be timid and hold me back."

"I'm still worried that you will hinder me." Huang Mengjue was not to be outdone.

Sensing the crisis, the two seemed eager to try.

A ninth-rank raised his hand, signaling the cavalry and infantry to stop approaching, and said, "Shoot the arrow!"

Sparse crossbow arrows came, and the two resisted. After a while, their tiger's mouth went numb and their arms trembled slightly.

"What a powerful bow and crossbow. No wonder there are so many ores in the account." Huang Mengjue said to himself.

The war horse neighed, and the air soared to the sky.

The hundred cavalry at the front rushed to kill, shouts resounded through the sky, and the spears and halberds were rolled and violently swept towards them.

Several people rode up on horses, trampled on by horseshoes, and crushed to death with weapons.

The two rare swords joined forces to condense a soaring sword energy, which turned into a barrier, which burst open, sending more than a dozen cavalrymen flying.

Before he could catch his breath, the cavalry attacked again.

"on!"

After a few rounds, the two of them were almost exhausted, and were besieged in a circle by dozens of infantrymen with spears.

Qi Annan sighed a long time, "It's all my fault if I move slowly. If I stay put and take care of many parties, why do I end up here?"

"If you don't do anything, maybe those accounts will be destroyed." Huang Mengjue comforted while guarding against violent attacks by martial arts fighters.

Several enemy swordsmen drew their swords.

"Amitabha!"

When the Sanskrit sound came, it shook for nine days.
