Wife Taming Addiction: Rogue Nine Queens

Chapter 160 Conspiracy
Xuanyuan Cheng looked at Xuanyuan Qing, wondering what Xuanyuan Qing's state of mind was like at this time.

I know it's a trap, but the feeling of having to get into it, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable, right?
"You have been in Luodi City all year round. I believe you should know the situation there better than me. I am worried that this batch of supplies will be targeted by Helian Luan or those horse thieves, so I hope you can take people there to escort the food and grass to the northwest territory safely. .”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was suddenly silent.

The people on Xuanyuan Cheng's side, except for Cheng Siji, all had expressions of disbelief.

How could the Crown Prince agree to the Ninth Prince's involvement in this matter?Doesn't this give the Ninth Prince a place among the people in the Northwest?
However, they faintly felt that things would not be so simple.

As for the people on Xuanyuanqing's side, I am afraid that only Zhuo Da can understand that this matter is simply a hot potato!

The atmosphere in the hall was a little strange.

Everyone only dared to make eye contact, but did not dare to make a sound.

After thinking about it carefully, he figured out the advantages and disadvantages of it. That old thief, Helian Luan, is not easy to deal with.

Northwest is short of supplies all the year round, especially food for survival. Faced with such a big temptation, it is impossible for Helian Luan not to be tempted.

If there is any mistake in this batch of food and supplies, it will be the Ninth Prince's responsibility.

The prince's move is indeed insidious!However, the Ninth Prince is not a vegetarian either, and they have now completely seen the secret contest between the Prince and the Ninth Prince.

However, the prince has a favorable advantage.

"His Royal Highness, General Cheng has so many good generals, why don't you just send some out to escort supplies?" Zhuo Da's voice suddenly broke in.

"His Royal Highness is thinking of the Ninth Prince, Zhuo Da, don't be ignorant!" Cheng Siji's voice followed.

"General Cheng was stationed in the northwest by the emperor's order, but he has allowed Helian Luan to run rampant all these years, don't you feel ashamed of the emperor's kindness?" Zhuo Da responded angrily.

"You!" Cheng Siji was a little speechless, this is an indisputable fact, he retorted with some lack of confidence: "In these years, is there any more war in the northwest?!"

"Of course not, because you are usually too afraid to fight when you become a general!" Zhuo Da humiliated without hesitation.

Before, the layer of window paper was not pierced, and everyone was still somewhat polite in their speech.

Now, everyone is independent and has distinct factions, so naturally there is nothing to take care of.

What's more, during these years when Cheng Siji came to the Northwest, his biggest rival was Zhuo Da, and the two had long looked at each other and hated each other.

"Enough!" Xuanyuan Cheng shouted angrily.

"Listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's words." Xuanyuan Qing's voice also sounded faintly.

The hall was quiet again, Zhuo Da and Cheng Siji, who were blushing and thick-necked, also returned to their seats.

"I will order General Cheng to send 3000 troops, and the Ninth Prince will have full power to dispatch them. This is only a part of the supplies, and some will be delivered later." Xuanyuan Cheng frowned slightly, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Xuanyuan Qing. body.

"I just don't know if the Ninth Prince's body can bear it?" He pretended to be concerned again.

"There is no serious problem." Xuanyuan Qing responded lightly.

The people sitting here are all the city lords who can hold the lifeline of the northwest, and the relationship is quite delicate.

But the prince and Cheng Siji also knew in their hearts that these people surrendered and took refuge only because of the current crisis situation. The men in the northwest are all bloody.This is why for so many years, I have never dared to really touch them!

However, these city lords probably still hope that the Ninth Prince can take over this job, because they hope that there will be someone in the northwest who can stir up the chaos.

This kind of earnest expectation, he fulfilled them today!

Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and the brows were full of calmness that could support everything.

This time, he not only has to deal with Xuanyuan Qing, but also Pinghe Lianluan, and even these city lords in the northwest have to hand over their power one by one, so that the northwest is no longer a worry!
"In that case, I will be responsible for this matter." Xuanyuan Qing agreed.

At this moment, one could even clearly feel that the city lords breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhuo Da clenched his fists secretly.

"Thank you Ninth Prince." Xuanyuan Cheng immediately thanked him with a slight smile on his lips.

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to thank you, this is my duty." Xuanyuan Qing still responded calmly.

"That's how this matter is settled, General Cheng, and the 3000 troops will be dispatched today."

"Yes!"

"His Royal Highness, since we are sending food to the Northwest, we also have to contribute in the Northwest. I, Zhuo Da, would like to ask to go with the Ninth Prince." Zhuo Da cupped his hands and said Xuanyuan Cheng.

"No need." Xuanyuan Qing immediately refused, "City Lords, just wait in the city."

Zhuo Da still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Qing's stare.

3000 people, bah!If these people want to do something secretly, the Ninth Highness and one person will be at their mercy!Zhuo Da's heart was full of anger!
"It will take seven days at the earliest for these grains to be delivered, but right now, the common people will be hungry again, General Cheng might as well get some more grains out." Zhuo Da looked at Cheng Siji, with a few Very contemptuous.

"You use the military rations just as you say!" Cheng Siji stood up and pointed at Zhuo Da.

"General Cheng, the people are freezing to death, what's the use of your troops?" Another city lord also stood up and answered.

"That's right, isn't the food delivered soon? Besides, the emperor would rather the people starve than become a general, right?" Another city lord stood up.

"His Royal Highness, General Cheng, the food last time was indeed not enough. Human life is the most important thing in the face of natural disasters." Even the city lord who was standing with the prince and Cheng Siji couldn't help but echoed.

"Don't worry, city lords, don't embarrass the general and His Royal Highness anymore. There is no food in the army, and the army's morale is slack. There are red di on the outside and thieves and grass bandits on the inside. How can it be child's play!" The city lord of Qinghai City also stood up.

"Huo Guang! You bastard!" Zhuo Da scolded angrily.

"Zhuo Da!" Huo Guang, the lord of Qinghai City, also showed his veins with anger.

"For so many years, after following Cheng Siji, do you only know how to wag your tail and beg for mercy, and don't know what it means to be a man?" Zhuo Da asked coldly.

What he despises the most is this Huo Guang!Cheng Siji was stationed in the northwest, and Huo Guang was the first to go to the army with heavy troops in hand.

It is simply a disgrace to the men in the Northwest!What made him even more distressed was that the heavy soldiers in Huo Guang's hands were handed over to Huo Guang before the queen got married!

"You are simply unreasonable!" Huo Guang sat aside with his sleeves thrown.

However, Cheng Siji was a little uncontrollable angry, "Zhuo Da, just because you insulted the important officials in the court like this, it is a capital offense!"

"Capital crime? You, Cheng Siji, have the guts to chop off my head, if you don't, shut up!"

"You barbarians from the Northwest!" As soon as Cheng Siji said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Except for him and the prince, all those sitting here are from the Northwest, and even the Ninth Prince has half of the Northwest blood.

Not only Zhuo Da and the others looked angry, but even the city lords in his camp looked a little ugly.

Who doesn't know, Cheng Siji looked down on Northwesterners in his bones, but it was the first time for them to speak out in public.

"City Lord Zhuoda is eager to care for the people, I can understand, but General Cheng also has his considerations." Xuanyuan Cheng came out to smooth things over.

Cheng Siji knew that he had said something wrong, so he stood aside and didn't say anything.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince is fine, I will prepare." Xuanyuan Qing also stood up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhuo Da suddenly threw out the thing in his hand, and "slap!" hit Cheng Siji's face.

"I'm a barbarian!" Zhuo Da finished speaking, looking at the red sole marks on Cheng Siji's face, he really regretted why he didn't step on it when he came here, and Cheng Siji was so angry that he couldn't say anything When the words came, he strode away with bare feet.

"You! You!" Cheng Siji blew his beard and stared angrily, touched the stain on his face, the indescribable smell made him sick for a while.

Who would have thought that Zhuo Da would suddenly take off his shoes and throw them at Cheng Siji. This time, all the city lords were surprisingly unanimous, raising their hands to hide the smiles on their lips.

I have to admit that this shoe is really enjoyable!
"The Ninth Prince will go back to prepare first, and set off immediately after all the troops are assembled." Xuanyuan Cheng's expression was not looking good either.

"Retire." Xuanyuan Qing stepped back slowly.

The city lords also retreated one after another. Cheng Siji looked at the shoes on the ground and kicked them out.

"His Royal Highness, this... this is too much!" Cheng Siji now has the intention of killing people.

How had he ever suffered such humiliation!
Xuanyuan Cheng sat up straight slowly, his brows were tightly knit together, and there was some anger in his eyes.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Don't these city lords in the northwest really think it was more than 20 years ago? !
How dare you do such an insulting behavior in front of him without any respectful clamor!
He took a deep breath and crossed his hands in front of his chest.

These city lords are quite respectful to Xuanyuan Qing.

"Your Highness, none of these city lords in the northwest can be kept!" Cheng Siji said angrily.

"That's natural. After solving Xuanyuan Qing's big trouble, leave them to clean up one by one." Xuanyuan Cheng replied in a deep voice.

In the corridor far away, Qian Ming, who was dressed in a vermilion official uniform, rushed over. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He walked forward slowly and bowed to Xuanyuan Cheng.

"Master Qian, how is the arrangement?" Cheng Siji asked hastily.

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged, just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn." Qian Ming smiled lightly, raised his orchid finger and presented a letter.

"Your Highness, this is a letter from the Crown Princess to your family."

Xuanyuan Cheng didn't even look at it, he stood up and strode away.

Qian Ming raised his hand in embarrassment, looked at the family letter, confused, could it be that the crown prince hates Qian Ling so much?
