Two days later, when Qu Yifu and Chu Yi rushed to the border with two million kilograms of white buns that they had finally collected from all over the place, they realized that the camp opposite had already been empty. Apart from the empty camp, there was nothing else in the camp where the Liu family was originally located.

Me, I, I, I... I rub! The old man stood in the empty Tang camp and was so angry that he was very angry. He had been cultivating his body and character for many years and rarely swearing. At this moment, he was blushing and thick-necked. He shouted and cursed several times in the big tent where Liu Bing was. The soldiers who were accompanying him were all silent and did not dare to approach the tent.

Chu Yi had no effect on this, but had a little bit of excitement. He stood aside with interest and watched Qu Yifu, the old prime minister, performing vividly what it means to be furious and what it means to steal chickens but lose rice.

Is Liu Yi so easy to deal with?

Chu Yi stood behind Qu Yifu and curled his lips at the old man with disdain. If Liu Yi was so easy to deal with and so easily designed, the old man, Hou Junji, would not have ended up being destroyed and forced to treason.

Although Chu Yi didn't know much about Liu Yi's methods, he had even seen Liu Yi himself less than three times, but this did not affect his respect and fear of Liu Yi.

Think about it, a scheming person who can write "Thick Black Book" who points directly to the hearts of the people and the officialdom, a person who can easily influence the decisions of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and design to leave himself safely from Chang'an, and this recent transaction, with a private chamber of commerce as its body, forced Gaochang and the whole country to move.

Such a scheming and wise master would not be able to calculate the total amount accumulated by Gaochang Baidiezi over the years? Would he not make any prior arrangements and explanations for his subordinates?

Why did they firmly demand that people beside each other from the beginning? Why did they never put all the money they brought together, and only sent someone to take out part of it during the transaction? Such caution, besides being guarded against the old opponent of Hou Junji, why aren't they guard against the wrongdoers like Gaochang and Qu Yifu who are evil in their minds who are ill-gotten in seeing profits?

From the beginning, Chu Yi did not support Qu Yifu and Hou Junji's plan to kill money. Whether it could be successful was just a matter of success, and he also snatched some money from the Liu family. Judging from the moment, the decisive battle between Gao and Tang countries was about to be fought, and being able to obtain some money would indeed help the army prepare for the war.

But what about the future?

They were betrayal once or twice, and committed suicide by seeking money. They offended Liu Yiuan to death completely. What should I do if the white folds planted after the war between the two countries are over? What should I do if the people of Gaochang are in their country? Do I have to live a poor life like before, without any rest or food?

They never thought that whether it was His Majesty or the Prime Minister, what they care about would always be their own interests. Whether they could save their throne and their lives was the first thing they care about, but they had to consider. For example, other beautiful words that benefit the people and protect the safety of the people, at the critical moment, were all floating clouds, and when the breeze blew, they disappeared without a trace.

Chu Yi had become a little numb about this.

He threw all the loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, loyalty and righteousness behind him. In fact, when Qu Wentai decided to halve the tribute to Tang and let him go to the Tang Dynasty to envoy, Chu Yi had completely given up on His Majesty and no longer had any illusions.

In order to gather the personal grudges of such an external minister, Hou Jun gathered the private grudges of such an external minister, and did not hesitate to provoke the Tang Dynasty. He directly ignored the safety of nearly one million people in Gaochang and placed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the tip of the knife. He, Qu Wentai, was not worthy of being the king of Gaochang.

Therefore, Chu Yi came back this time, in addition to wanting to make a fortune in the officialdom, he also had some public aspirations for the country and the people. If conditions permit or the strength is sufficient, he did not mind supporting a princess or prince to replace Qu Wentai, and tied Hou Junji, the culprit who caused the war between the two countries and brought the people of Gaochang into a dire state of straits to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the grudges between the two countries.

However, Chu Yi could only think about these thoughts secretly in his mind. After all, compared to Hou Junji and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Gaochang Kingdom, he is still just a slight person. He has only three thousand soldiers under his command, even if he is determined, he cannot make too many storms.

So, Chu Yi has always been like this now, not provoking or moving, and is in it, watching the changes.

For example, this time, Hou Junji wanted to kill Liu Bing and avenge his personal revenge when he was robbing the horse at the end of the year. His Majesty and Qu Yifu wanted to get more money to prepare for the battle. The two hit it off, and Qu Yifu was the vicious plan of dragging people to cheat money. From the beginning to the end, Chu Yi always played a role of obedient and obedient accomplices. Even if he was unwilling, he would never raise any objections and provoke criticism from his superiors and His Majesty.

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" After a long time, Qu Yifu still couldn't calm down. Thinking of the soldiers in charge of guarding his camp, the old man shouted loudly with a ferocious expression: "Where is Shi Lang? Let Shi Lang come over to see me!"

Shi Lang is the lieutenant responsible for monitoring the Liu family camp's leadership this time. He was the general who was specially drawn from the palace guards by Qu Yifu. This time, Liu Bing and his party escaped silently. No matter what the reason was, Shi Lang could not delay the blame. Moreover, at this time, Qu Yifu and the others also needed a scapegoat to calm the anger in His Majesty's heart. Shi Lang, a palace guard with no background, was undoubtedly their best choice.

"Prime Minister," said in his heart that Shi Lang was a miserable man. Chu Yi bowed forward and replied to Qu Yifu: "Shi Lang and the others are now recuperating in the back camp. After all, they have been tied up for two days and have no food or drink. They are still a little weak now."

Speaking of this, thinking about the spectacular scene when their group first arrived at the camp, Chu Yi secretly laughed in his heart. The soldiers of more than a hundred people, including their captain Shi Lang, were all tied up and stuffed, and tied with a thick rope, and threw them into the largest tent.

He could not move for two consecutive days without eating or drinking, and it was even more delusional to use the toilet. Therefore, when Quyifu rushed into the camp in a hurry and wanted to ask the details, he was directly forced out by the stench inside. After a nausea and vomiting, the old man no longer dared to approach the barracks and handed all the problems to his soldiers to deal with and solve them.

"Weak? He still has the face to make me weak? If we come one day later, it would be a blessing that they would not be starved to death! What kind of face does he have to eat, drink and rest behind him?" Speaking of this, the old man was anxious again: "No one of the more than a hundred people can escape the news, and they were all bound by others. It can be said that they lost all the face of my Gaochang Soldier! Such a captain and such soldiers, what is the use of keeping them?"

Fortunately, this is not a battlefield, and Liu's side has no evil intentions, but just a little bit of binding warning. Otherwise, if he had returned with more than a hundred corpses on this trip, how could he have any face?

But even so, Qu Yifu didn't feel any glossiness on his face. The soldier was tied up and the target escaped. He was teased by a small merchant and was thrown to his grandma's house.

"It's Liu Bing who is cunning, I'm afraid he's seen through the Prime Minister's plan long ago," Chu Yi took the opportunity to come forward and stimulate him again: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have migrated the night after we left."

"It's true that this is possible." Qu Yifu's old face was a little red with shame. Fortunately, he was proud of his performance in front of Liu Bing that day and successfully deceived Liu Bing's trust. He was still thinking about how to deal with the matter of the Liu family's small manager after more than ten days.

Unexpectedly, someone had already seen a flaw at that time. As soon as he left, he was prepared for the back foot. He retreated safely and soundly, but he slapped himself hard.

Qu Yifu reached out and rubbed his hands back and forth on the face, and said to Chu Yi sternly: "It's all because Commander Shi Lang is incompetent. He has more than a hundred Gaochang warriors under him, but he can't even take care of a small caravan. It's useless to waste my intention of cultivating him! Go and bring him over to me, I have something to ask!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" After responding, Chu Yi turned around and left the camp, and then spat hard at the barracks where Qu Yifu was in a place without him, and he still cultivated them. I am afraid that when he first chose Shi Lang, the old man was ready to take the blame.

If you succeed, you will be rewarded; if you fail, you will be blamed.

He was prepared with both hands, but he had no harm, and he could not touch himself any of them. Thinking of this, Chu Yi had to admire Qu Yifu's foresight. He was worthy of being an capable person who could become an official and become a prime minister. As expected, he was a person with a strong face and a bad heart. When he got along with this person in the future, he had to pay more attention and pay attention everywhere, so as not to end up like Shi Lang in the end.

Chang'an, East Palace.

Prince Li Chengqian was sleeping in the bedroom, and King Li Yuanchang of Lu came to visit him.

"I guess I'm going to see that the Emperor's Uncle should come here in the past few days." Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly, neither getting up to greet Li Yuanchang, nor turning his head to look at him, and said in a quiet voice: "As long as tolerate so many days, the Emperor's Uncle's heart is much broader than before."

"Do you know everything?" Li Yuanchang looked at the eldest nephew in front of him who was a few years younger than him, disregarding his rudeness, and casually sat on the chair next to the couch, reaching out to roast the stove, and opening a sound to inquire.

Didn’t you mean to rest with peace of mind? Moreover, Empress Changsun has also made special instructions that if there is nothing important during this period, try not to disturb the palace. Why does it seem that what this kid has done to the outside world is still clear and clear?

"Although the matter is not big, it is related to most of the expenditure of the Lone's lineage, and may also affect the reputation of Lone and whether Lone can successfully become a treasure in the future," turned his head and looked at Li Yuanchang, and Li Chengqian asked in response: "Uncle, do you think Lone should get the news as soon as possible, and be prepared and prevented?"

"Uh? Haha, originally, the emperor did not want to come over to disturb you and wanted to solve the problem by himself." Without caring about Li Chengqian's questioning tone, Li Yuanchang continued: "But who would have thought that the emperor's brother intervened in this matter, and that guy Li Ji was very strict in taking care of it. The emperor's uncle had no chance to take action, so he had to come and ask you for a solution."

"Me?" Li Chengqian laughed at himself and said, "What can I do? My father and emperor have already begun to pay attention to this matter. He has not investigated it in depth. It is a blessing to convict the emperor and the prince Gu. What else do you want?"

"Then let the Liu family succeed and steal our military supplies business?" Li Yuanchang looked at his eldest nephew dissatisfiedly and said loudly: "You know that it is a harvest of over one million yuan a year, and you can give up people in vain? If you can be content, I can't just let it go!"

"There has been a plan, and things have been finalized. What else can the emperor's uncle do?" Li Chengqian knew the ability of this young emperor, and was greedy and lustful, and simple-minded. Li Chengqian did not think he could think of any good plans to turn the world around.

"If I have the right way, how could I come to you to discuss?" Li Chengqian was given a blank look and Li Yuanchang said, "The most hateful thing is Liu Yipin. He has controlled more than half of the business path of the Tang Dynasty. His family wealth is considered to be rich enough to rival a country, but he is not satisfied. He is now reaching out to the military supplies and we men to grab food. It's really hateful!"

Li Yuanchang was jealous of Liu Yi's various businesses and his rich family background for a long time. Especially at the beginning of the month when Liu Yi donated two million stags of money and 300,000 tanes of rice and grain at one go, Li Yuanchang was even more excited. He was shocked by the reputation of the Liu Mansion and the attention of the emperor's brother to the Liu family, and Li Yuanchang never dared to do anything excessive.

But now, when Liu Yi extended Liu's business to the military's military supplies, and was personally touched and seriously threatened, Li Yuanchang finally couldn't sit still and began to make moves everywhere to force Liu out.

However, because of Li Ji's closed training and the secret attacks of Gongsun Helan and Li Zhen in the army, Li Yuanchang was always restrained everywhere and returned in vain. Seeing that the response of the cotton suits was getting better and better, and there was a tendency to replace the entire army, Li Yuanchang had no choice but to come and ask his eldest nephew for help.

After all, there is also Li Chengqian's share, and the Eastern Palace can get a lot of investments every year. Li Yuanchang doesn't believe that his eldest nephew will not feel sorry for him and will not be willing to expel Liu.

"Liu's crossed the boundary, Gu's heart was naturally indignant," Li Chengqian took a long breath and tried his best to keep his mood calm. He glanced at his uncle and said in a voice: "But Gu had just said that the father's emperor has paid attention to this matter, and the final plan has been made. Unless you can show off a better outfit than what Liu provided, everything is just causing trouble for yourself."

"Is it because the emperor thought that the emperor did in military supplies over the years, his father didn't know at all?" Li Chengqian whispered and said, "If you anger your father, you will be able to investigate and investigate thoroughly. At that time, you will not only lose some money. Please think twice."

Li Chengqian was naturally extremely angry when his business was robbed and his wealth was cut off. However, he was more clear than Li Yuanchang and knew that the matter was no longer suitable for them to intervene, otherwise it would only cause anger and cause himself some unnecessary trouble in vain.

Moreover, if Liu Yi had designed this matter, Li Chengqian would not have naively thought that Liu Yi was just doing it at will and did not prepare any help from him or her other forces. If he set out rashly, what he wanted to lose would be more than this source of wealth in the military supplies.

Because he had some understanding of Liu Yi, Li Chengqian became more careful and afraid. Liu Yi always had a plan before acting. Li Chengqian did not want to fight Liu Yi head-on and have a bad relationship with Li Ji and others because of this incident, which affected his upcoming military trip to take office soon and missed his major events.

"This..." When Li Shimin mentioned the emperor's brother, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but feel a little timid. He also knew that the reason why Li Shimin did not pursue military uniforms over the years was because he did not make any big mistakes, and the other was that the emperor's brother was still considering the brotherhood between them.

However, if he really did too much, Li Yuanchang had no doubt that the first person to attack him would be his second brother, the ruthlessness of Li Shimin, who had seen him personally at Xuanwu Gate as early as when he was eight years old.

"That's right, but," Li Yuanchang said unwillingly: "If you let the Liu family go so easily, let them get so much benefit and get the money that should belong to us, I am really unwilling to accept it!"

There was no help, Li Chengqian lay on the couch and shook his head gently, closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Don't Liu have money?" He didn't pay attention to the expression of his eldest nephew. Thinking of the two million guan donated by Liu Yian a while ago, Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up and he said, "Why do you think about letting him vomit more?"

"Now the treasury is empty and the court is short of money," Li Yuanchang thought about it more and more and more and more, and continued to say: "At present, he is going to send troops to Gaochang and provide relief to the victims. The emperor's brother must be very worried. If I go to make a comment now, Liu will donate military funds for free, and the emperor's brother will definitely agree!"

"That's it! I'll go find the emperor's brother now!" The more I thought about it, the better it felt. Li Yuanchang didn't care about asking Li Chengqian for his opinion, and directly called him and ran towards the Tai Chi Palace excitedly.

"Uh?" Seeing the little emperor's uncle disappearing, Li Chengqian raised his hand speechlessly and patted his forehead, saying softly: "Uncle Emperor is too simple. What do you think the two million coins donated by Liu Yi before are for? It's really worrying about the country and the people. Do you have to burn your hands if you have too much money?"

Sighing lightly, Li Chengqian continued to say helplessly: "He is blocking his father's mouth and his ministers' mouths. What he is doing is to deal with today's situation."
