Chapter 487 Gambling (4)
"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Return to the lord. Although the elite soldiers of the subordinates have never left Huayang Mountain, according to them, they once discovered a cave in Huayang Mountain, and there were traps in it. Several subordinates broke in by mistake and all died! At that time, the subordinates saw that the sharp weapons that shot through them had iron embroidery on them, so they didn't think too much about it, they just thought it was left over from the previous dynasty a hundred years ago. Thinking about it now, it's extremely suspicious!"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Since that's the case, where are your elite soldiers now?"

"Go back to your lord, according to your instructions, I will be on standby in Huayang Mountain, which is the closest to here!"

"Very well, at dawn, you will lead your elite soldiers to check it out. In this way, there is a genius by my side, who is very knowledgeable about the formation of troops. Let him go with you and have a look. Can you remove the mechanism there?"

Qi Dali was taken aback, "My lord, will you only send one person to accompany the subordinate?"

Yuan Xi smiled brightly, "Since you have followed me, you are naturally my man. If I don't believe you, who else can I trust?"

Qi Dali's face twitched a few times, and his eyes seemed a little moist.He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord! This subordinate will not disgrace his life and find that batch of food!"

Yuan Xi nodded at him, "Go and prepare first!"

Qi Dali turned around and retreated.There is still some unbelievable excitement, excitement and joy on his face!Qi Dali walked outside the tent, looked up at the sky, "I, Qi Dali, wandered half my life, and finally met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty!" With a sigh, he strode outside the camp gate.

"Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous Pingqiu County would have such a secret road, and this Huayang Mountain is even more mysterious!" Jingyi sighed.

Yuan Xi embraced Jing Yi lightly, "I'll accompany you to rest for a while, here, you always have to wait, even if you save someone, you won't come back so soon!"

Jingyi was a little reluctant, but seeing Yuanxi's distressed eyes, she had no choice but to nod.

"Zhengyang, on a sunny day, I'll leave this place to you first." After Yuanxi finished speaking, he helped Jingyi into a tent that looked bigger.

"Yiyi, but you feel uncomfortable?" Yuan Xi helped Jingyi to sit on the bed and asked in a deep voice.

Jingyi's movements froze, and she looked at Yuanxi, "Did you really drive up the food price in Dayuan?"

Yuan Xi stood still in front of the bed, looked at her and said, "Yiyi, I ordered someone to do it. Do you want to scold me?"

Jingyi's breathing only felt tight, as if she was a little out of breath!I just felt like a huge boulder was pressing on my chest, which I couldn't lift or lower!It's extremely uncomfortable!She looked at Yuan Xi standing still in front of her, the candlelight in the tent was dim, but Yuan Xi's figure was a bit lonely and cold!

Yuan Xi's unparalleled handsome face was completely cold at this moment, and he could not see any joy or anger, but he felt that there seemed to be a strong expectation in his deep eyes!But what is he looking forward to?Yuanxi's body exuded a chill at this moment!It's even more chilly than the freezing weather outside!Jingyi was puzzled, so she asked, "Why did you do this? Haven't you really thought about the consequences of doing this?"

As soon as Jingyi said the words, she felt that the chill on Yuanxi's body disappeared!And the anticipation in his eyes also turned into a touch of joy, a touch of relief!
Yuan Xi took a step forward and hugged Jingyi directly into his arms!Jingyi's head touched Yuanxi's abdomen.Feeling Yuanxi's body trembling slightly, he seemed to be a little excited! "Yiyi! That's great. I know you have always been kind, especially for the people of Li, and you are even more generous and kind! I know you must be displeased to learn that I have driven up the price of food! But I want to know, what is going on in your heart? How do you see me! So, I'm betting!"

"Gambling?" Jingyi was embraced by Yuan Xi's arms, "What are you betting on?"

"I bet you're going to get angry at me without asking why I'm here! Or are you going to ask me why?"

Jingyi left his arms and looked up at Yuanxi, "I don't understand. Yuanxi, you said that I care about the people, why don't you? Don't you always worry about their basic necessities? You have the people in your heart." , I care about the world, I have always understood this clearly! But this time, what are you doing for?"

Yuan Xi went to the bed and sat down, "Yiyi, this is just a dangerous move!"

"A dangerous move?"

"Yeah. King Ming and King Jin are fighting to the death! They have been thinking of ways to win over courtiers and expand their power all day long! But where did they get the money? Naturally, they wanted to use the treasury! Just like King Ming used to This private army raised! 5000 people! Not too many, not too many! Where did the food and clothing of these 5000 people come from? Don’t you want to buy it with money?”

"I thought about this when I knew I had this private soldier. Later, Qi Dali said that someone would send them food regularly, but he didn't know who the other party was. He always told them to go to a certain place a moment before." When they get there, they will find their one-month rations! Sometimes, one month’s rations, they will use them for two months. The purpose is to train these soldiers to resist hunger! Besides, they will often let They find ways to find food by themselves! It is precisely because of this that his elite soldiers are extremely powerful!"

"His training method is somewhat similar to Wuji's!"

"Hmm. The difference is that Mo Wei led by Wuji is more well-equipped! The subjects they train are also more varied and stricter! Yiyi, this Dayuan has been peaceful for too long! These princes, they all forgot Their duty, apart from fighting for the throne, they have no other thoughts!"

Jingyi lowered her eyes thoughtfully, raised her eyes after a while, and said quietly: "Do you want to take this opportunity to let the emperor thoroughly inspect the granary? To give the princes a warning?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Actually, I just received the news from the dark pavilion today that the emperor really made an order! And King Ming's people actually moved faster, just when the British prince and his people just arrived at the biggest party in the capital." When we were in the granary camp, two granaries caught fire!"

Jingyi's eyes widened suddenly, "This King Ming's reaction is quick! In this way, who would know that the granary is empty?"

"Yes! He is indeed smart! But what I want is exactly his smartness! Think about it, it's only the beginning of spring, how could a good granary catch fire? The courtiers are not fools! The British Duke did it! This position is naturally extremely shrewd! As for the emperor, he understands it better! Although King Ming's move can save several of his subordinates and won't implicate himself, but how wise is the emperor? I'm afraid he already knew this. What a mess! The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials are about to change!"

Jingyi also understood, "After this incident, I am afraid that the emperor will suspend the inspection of the granary, and instead use it to vigorously purge the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials?"
