Chapter 698
"Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it properly!" Bai Mowen replied softly, feeling unhappy.

His insistence on going his own way still hurt everyone in the Bai family, but his choice was definitely not wrong - the Bai family will eventually flourish in his hands.

He won't make them regret it!
The Bai family was not peaceful, and the Lu family was even more so. They didn't believe that things would be so coincidental. The accident happened just after Nangongqian and Lu Haoxi's marriage was settled, and they chose to choose at this juncture. Unbelievable.

"Father, what should we do now? Nangongqian is locked in the palace. No one knows where the food and grass are. The Ying family army is coming soon. When the time comes, what shall we do to appease them?" Lu Haoxi is full of resentment, but they have not yet The rescuers can only bear with it.

In front of all the courtiers, the emperor directly asked them to go back to face the wall and think about their mistakes, which did not give them any face.

If the emperor knew the resentment in Lu Haoxi's heart, he would probably feel speechless: Your Lu family is about to rebel, and you still think about face, what kind of logic is this?

"If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be sitting here," Lu Zhaonian was also full of resentment, obviously success was just around the corner, but this kind of thing happened again. "By the way, Haoxi, has Nangongqian ever mentioned to you about Yan Guo's deployment of soldiers?"

"She has been in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom for so long, how could she know about the affairs of the Yan Kingdom? Father, don't you even suspect her?" Lu Haoxi yelled in disbelief, feeling that Nangongqian was not that kind of person.

If she really calculated, how could she agree to marry him.

Men, at this time, want to save face, Lu Haoxi probably forgot his purpose, from the beginning to the end, he was just using Nangongqian, so why can't others use him.

"Forget it, whether you doubt it or not, it doesn't matter. The current situation is not too bad. At least if Yan Guo raises troops, the emperor will have even more headaches. Food and grass alone will be enough for him." This is the only good thing, Yan Guo tantamount to helping them in disguise.

"Father said that since our Lu family has to face the wall and think about our mistakes, these things won't bother us in the first place,"

"The imperial court is short of food and grass, and we are also short of food. In this way, starting tomorrow, you will send people to collect food and grass around. No matter how much there is, no matter what method you take, just collect the food." They don't care about other consequences.

Even if the emperor wanted to take care of it, even if he knew it was done by the Lu family, would he dare to do anything after Yan State attacked Lucheng?

I'm afraid this time it will be the same as before. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he has to endure it. There is nothing he can do about them.

"I'll arrange it later," he said impatiently. "Father, if Nangongqian falls into the hands of the emperor, will the grain and grass in her hand be taken away by the emperor?" That is one hundred thousand deniers of grain and grass, not a small amount.

"No, Nangongqian is not a fool after all. If the food and grass are handed over to the emperor, it is tantamount to helping the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to attack the Yan Kingdom. If she really does that, it is tantamount to treason. her,"

After hearing this, Lu Haoxi breathed a sigh of relief, he still did not give up the one hundred thousand deniers of grain.

The situation in the capital was completely stunned by this sudden incident. This night, more than half of the people were discussing this matter, only Yun Shu and the others were cheerful and not disturbed by this incident.

"Let me just say, there must be something wrong with Nangongqian. If she is really as stupid as she looks, how can she survive until now?" Yun Shu felt admiration when she learned that Nangongqian was put under house arrest by the emperor For myself, it seems that it is okay to guess more occasionally.

Everyone was amused by her smug look, "Cousin, you are worse than Yu Bao, your tail is going up to the sky," Ouyang Xi couldn't help complaining.

"What do you know, your cousin and I have made great contributions, and I will ask the emperor for credit later," she felt that she seemed to have made countless contributions, but the rewards given by the emperor seemed not very sincere. She married Rao Mingxu, even if he didn't grant the marriage, could the marriage still run away?

No, she is a businessman, and she can't suffer even if she eats. When the situation stabilizes, she must ask the emperor to give her a reward, so that she can be worthy of her efforts.

"Yun Shu is right. She has made such a great contribution, and she will ask the emperor for it in the future. Even if she doesn't care, I won't agree," the eldest princess jokingly said.

"Your majesty should give Yun Shu some credit. Don't worry about the food she bought from other countries in Lucheng before. It's just that she brought the grain from the north this time, not to mention the food that Liu Liu brought here now. For these two points alone, the emperor should give Yun Shu an explanation," Rao Mingxu said quite naturally, although the emperor is his uncle, Yun Shu is his wife, so he naturally wants to help his own people.

Hearing what their mother and son said, Yun Shu looked back at him with a smile and said, "I'm too embarrassed to mention these things in the past. Since you feel that the emperor has treated me badly, then when the court is settled in the future, please reward me." Open your mouth, "She still can't kiss the emperor, after all, in terms of seniority, she is her brother-in-law, and she is of the same generation as her.

"It's better for mother to speak up about this matter. Don't worry, mother will never let it be buried for what you did for the Eastern Zhou Kingdom." With such a daughter-in-law, she is honored and wished that everyone in the world would be happy. She knew that her decision to get engaged to the Yun family was the right one.

"Mother, I was just joking." If she really cared about this, she wouldn't let the emperor decide last time. "By the way, A Xu, where is Liuliu, do you know?"

"It's almost there, I've sent people to follow along to find it,"

"This matter is no small matter, it's better to send more people to pick it up earlier," said Liu Liu and Mo Ningyao, the matter was easier to handle, but Liu Liu and the others escorted almost all the food and grass in Lingnan. Liuliu planted it herself, and some were divided from the common people, so don't be careless.

If the grain and grass were robbed, don't say she was about to cry, I'm afraid even the emperor would have a headache.

Now they are evenly matched because the Lu family lacks food and grass, and they have food and grass in their hands, which is their chance of winning.

"Don't worry, no one is kidding, not only me, but also the emperor's men and horses. As long as the food and grass brought by Liu Liu arrives on land, they will definitely protect it for the first time." joke.

"This is the best way. Be careful when transporting this grain and grass into Beijing." It should be kept from the Lu family.

"Well, it will all be arranged,"

At the same time, Ying's army approached the capital step by step, but people's hearts were uncertain, because they had less and less food in their hands, and some people complained that their hearts were not in harmony, so naturally they walked slowly.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Ying Chenliang saw that the grain and grass they brought were almost exhausted, the Lu family hadn't responded for a long time, and the people sent to Jiangnan hadn't come back yet, which made him anxious.

If both sides can't connect, what should they do? Do they want to go back?Even if they go back, they have to eat all the way, he can't let the Ying family go this far and turn back, even if they return to Qucheng safely, it will become a joke of Qucheng.

Ying Hesheng didn't answer. At this time, the more he said, the wrong. He is not stupid.

"Send someone to inquire again, if there is no more..." Yingchen said with a hint of ruthlessness in his bright eyes: "Let's find another way."

"Father, even if I buy or get food from Jiangnan, can it feed so many of us? I think it's better to find another way earlier, so as not to see the food and people's hearts are fluctuating. When the food comes, they My heart is not stable, "It was their order to leave Qucheng, but they couldn't stop it, and everything was in vain.

Especially at the critical point, if they can't get food and grass again, these people will probably disperse here.

While the Ying family's father and son were discussing, conflicts broke out at the place where the Ying family's army temporarily camped because of food, and even fought because of it.

When Ying Chenliang got the news, he hurried over and saw several people were beaten with blood all over their faces, and two of them were still unconscious. They didn't know the extent of their injuries, and their faces turned black all of a sudden.

"What's going on?" He asked sharply, with a murderous look on his face.

The two people lying on the ground are his people, and they are also very important. Now they beat his people, don't they take him seriously.

"Report to the general, it was all caused by verbal arguments, which made them lose their minds and beat them into a ball," a young general tried his best to explain, hoping to make the matter smaller.

"A verbal argument?" He was full of disbelief, "What did you argue that made them fight to the death?" They were all in the same team, and they were so ruthless. Who would believe them in the future.

"Back to the general, everyone was complaining that they didn't have enough to eat, and they didn't even have the strength to walk. As a result, the two of them argued vigorously, saying that they were not hungry now, and that there were ulterior motives for making such noise. When I got angry, I started to move my hands, and it became like this!" He didn't say that he was bullying more, but he just beat them and lay here unable to move.

"General, we will follow you from Qucheng to the capital. No matter what our plan is, we will go all out, but we have not eaten a full meal this way. If this continues, can everyone go to the capital?" There was a face Regardless of the embarrassment on the minister's face, the bleeding man yelled out his heart in front of everyone.

"That's right, we've all gone all out, we don't even care about our family, why can't we even have enough to eat?"

One person opened the mouth, and the other was seconded. Everyone didn't back down because they were afraid of Ying Chenliang, but there was a strange light in their eyes. If this matter is not handled well today, the matter will not calm down.

In this situation, Ying Chenliang couldn't even try to settle the score, and he had to spend all his energy to appease these people who were about to go berserk, and the depression in his heart could be imagined.
