Nangong Mo was also impolite and said in a deep voice: "to tell you the truth, the princess wants to ask the adult to borrow a batch of grain and grass."

As soon as the smile on Youzhou's envoy's face was closed, he pondered for a moment before sincerely saying: "Princess... It's not that I don't give the princess face. But, the princess also knows that the border is full of war smoke. I just sent a large number of grain and grass to general Xie's army a few days ago. The annual tax of Youzhou has always been taken by the yanwang mansion, and my hands... Are not loose."

Nangong Mo was not in a hurry and calmly watched the old fox play.

Seeing her like this, the Youzhou emissary also felt a little boring. He had to say, "to tell you the truth, the Youzhou emissary yamen really doesn't have the food and grass that the princess needs."

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and said, "it will be returned in half a month. Prince Yan's house has never been sad about food and grass. Is it difficult that Lord Qi would not even give this face? Can you trust your highness King Yan or the princess?"

"No." the Youzhou envoy hurriedly said, "It's not my intention to embarrass the princess. Two days ago, I just sent 200000 loads of grain and grass to the border. The princess wants to be seconded now, but I can't transfer it even if she kills me. The government does have several granaries around Youzhou, but... It's at least seven or eight days later to escort these grain and grass. In addition... I'm afraid the quantity is not much."

Nangong Mo frowned. "Lord Qi just sent 70000 stone grain to general Xie's army two months ago, and 200000 stone grain two days ago. My princess wants to know what Youzhou's Yamen, which has less than 100000 troops, wants to do with so much grain?"

"This..." the Youzhou envoy shook his head and said, "I don't know. But general Xie's people came with his Majesty's will. Don't say he wants 200000 stone grain. Even if he wants my head, I don't dare not give it."

Nangong Mo Xiu's eyebrows are locked, and the center of his mind is flying.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Youzhou envoy said, "princess, I really can't help you with this matter. Please forgive me, Princess and his highness King Yan."

Nangong Mo was not angry and said with a smile, "Lord Qi is serious. Since Lord Qi said so... Please give general Xie a message. He has been bothered by Beiyuan border crossing in recent years."

"Ah?!" the governor of Youzhou was stunned and looked at the woman in front of him. Nangong Mo said leisurely: "I think Lord Qi has heard that all the grain in the granary of King Yan's residence has been damaged. Without grain, it will be a big battle. In recent years, we can only bother general Xie."

"But... But..."

"What's good?" Nangong Mo didn't understand. "Where can the soldiers fight when they are hungry? It's said that if their uncle doesn't order the withdrawal, all the soldiers can't stand the back and forth of the Northern Yuan cavalry when they stand at the border as human shields. Don't you think so?"

The governor of Youzhou came back and said in a deep voice, "the princess said to withdraw? Can the princess do this? Youzhou is a fief of his Highness the Yan king!" even if the Yan king is a prince, he can't bear the crime of losing land.

Nangong Mo smiled, "is it difficult? Youzhou is not the land of summer?"

Naturally, the governor of Youzhou dare not say no, but if you really let Prince Yan's house withdraw like this, Xie Li's side will be over.

"Princess Xingcheng, don't forget... Your husband is also in general Xie's army now." it's not only Xie Li who withdrew from the pit, but also Wei Junmo.

Nangong Mo stood up and said helplessly, "what do you say, Lord Qi? I'm young and shallow. I really don't know how to deal with the situation at present?"

The governor of Youzhou was speechless. Without food, he could not fight even if he did not withdraw. After a long time, he said, "what do you think of living?"

Nangong Mo smiled. "There are not many main in this county. Since Lord Qi doesn't have it, how about general Xie seconding 50000 stone grain and grass first? That's the same sentence. It will be returned in half a month."

"Here, general Xie..." the Youzhou envoy hesitated.

Nangong smiled on his ink face, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Lord Qi, general Xie has only met several times in the army. However, Lord Qi is in Youzhou City, and we still meet often in the future. Do you think so?"

This is a threat?!

The governor of Youzhou looked darkly at the smiling woman in front of him. However, he had to accept her threat. The princess of Xingcheng was right. Xie Li was protected by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around the army, and it was difficult for the king of Yan to do anything to him. But he wanted to stay in Youzhou city all the time. As long as his majesty didn't give an order to cut the vassal one day, the king of Yan would do it one day Put pressure on him. Even if the king of Yan kills him on impulse, he will die in vain.

After a long silence, the Youzhou envoy said in a deep voice, "I'll send someone to discuss with general Xie."

Nangong Mo chuckled, "discuss? Lord Qi, it's related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you don't discuss properly, those soldiers' lives won't come back."

Youzhou chief envoy gritted his teeth. "I promise to ask general Xie for accommodation. If there is a mistake, the princess will take my life to accompany me."

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said softly, "how dare you? In that case, thank you. Please tell general Xie what the princess said. Intrigue is one thing, but it involves the peace of the border and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Please think twice."

"I understand naturally. Please come first, princess." the Youzhou envoy said with a gloomy face. Nangong Mo didn't care if he was driven to his face, but shrugged and left.

When Nangong Mo's figure disappeared outside the door, the Youzhou envoy suddenly grabbed the tea cup on the table and smashed it down, "a group of fools! You can find trouble!"

"Princess, why are you so polite to the old man?" Liu Han looked back at the plaque outside the yamen gate and frowned. "That batch of grain and grass must have something to do with Qi. Why do you still..." Nangong Mo shook his head: "The governor of Youzhou is not a fool, and he can't escape being involved in such a thing. His family is still in Youzhou. Moreover... Now is not the time to investigate who is behind the scenes. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of food and grass."

"But where can we get grain and grass to return in half a month?"

Nangong Mo couldn't help laughing and said, "do you really think uncle Yan would be indifferent to this matter?"

"This..." Liu Han looked at Qu Lianxing walking next to him. Qu Lianxing said with a smile, "it shouldn't be. If your highness King Yan doesn't listen to such a big thing..." it's not addicted to women, but crazy.

Nangong Mo said, "King Yan's ability to let Gong Xiaodie stop us shows that he doesn't know less about it than we do. It's even possible... He knows more than we do."
