At the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the staff quietly retreated aside and did not dare to say a word. It was a foolproof thing, but somehow caused trouble at this critical moment, especially when he was caught. The city guards were famously upright and had almost no chance to shout for justice. The old grain that had grown mold could not be transported to the border, so this part was lost, which was equivalent to losing all the money.

Xuan Li's expression on his face was very ugly at this moment. Even though his subordinates were installed in various places, how could the city guards suddenly lead troops to come? He has not figured it out yet. He doesn't understand where the plan was wrong, which makes people take advantage of loopholes. Now the development of things is beyond his expectations, and even the Douwang doesn't know how to start.

"Your Highness, do you want to find a way to save Xia Jun and Jiang Chao?" the aide said: "The matter is still involved in the Xia family. If you ignore it, Your Majesty will definitely punish the Xia family heavily. The Xia family is still useful to Your Highness now and should not be discarded easily."

The private army of the Xia family was caught on the spot, which was a fact that it could not be escaped. If it continued to develop with the flow, the emperor would even kill the Xia family. Now that he had not achieved great success, he still needed to rely on the power of the Xia family. How could he easily discard this most important piece? If the Xia family was damaged by this, not only would the ministers who followed him lose most of his strength. The Xia family must be saved.

Seeing that Xuan Li didn't say anything, the aide continued, "Now I can only find a way to transport the original military pay back and ask for a way to say that Xia Jun and Jiang Chao were burning Chenliang and protecting the military pay. As long as the matter is round and the work is done cleanly, it is not impossible."

Xuan Li was shocked, as if he realized something, his eyes sank and said, "No."

The staff looked at him in surprise.

Xuan Li sneered: "If I really do this, it will hit someone else's mind. You can say that Xia Jun is trying to protect the military pay, and others may not be able to say that Xia Jun wants to exchange military pay for his personal pocket. I see the person behind him, maybe when I just came up with a way to explain to my father, he had other evidence to confirm Xia Jun's charge of changing military pay. Jie Shi's father would be extremely angry, and even I blamed him. Besides..." He thought of something, but he didn't finish it.

The aide followed by some concern and asked, "Your Highness did this, but he planned to ignore the life or death of Xia Jun and the Xia family?"

"Abandon the army and protect the commander." A trace of cruelty flashed across Xuan Li's face: "Now I have nothing to do."

Jiang Ruan put down the wolf hair in his hand, and the beautiful hairpin and small seal script was written in a delicate and charming manner. The young man in purple who was sitting opposite him could not help but ask: "If Xuan Li wanted to save him? The Xia family would not lose anything, and would still hold a grudge against you. He worked hard, but he just got such a result." He had always used power to plot everyone in, but now it was the first time he had accepted the arrangements of others. He didn't even know every link of the plan, but he just did it according to what Jiang Ruan ordered, but he was still confused and didn't know what she wanted to do.

"I have long been mortal enemies with them, so isn't it unnecessary to talk about hatred?" Jiang Ruan slowly lifted the rice paper, hung it slightly, and said, "Why did Xuanli save him?"

"The collapse of the Xia family is not good for Xuan Li. His great cause still depends on the support of the Xia family. If the Xia family is injured this time, it is like cutting off his right-hand arm. How could he be willing?"

Jiang Ruan looked at Qi Feng and suddenly smiled slightly: "Is that right, Mr. Qi, how about I bet with you?"

"What bet?" Qi Feng was slightly stunned by her actions.

"Just bet, Xuan Li will definitely not save the Xia family." Jiang Ruan said.

"How could it be?" Qi Feng was surprised.

"If he lost the Xia family, he lost only a right-hand man. After saving the Xia family, he might end his great cause." Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Xuan Li is suspicious. If he has such an opportunity to save the Xia family, he will hesitate, thinking that we have dug a pit behind us and ask you to get into the trap. The more he hesitated, the less he dared to make a decision easily."

"But that's just suspicion. He won't even dare to test." Although Qi Feng was surprised that Jiang Ruan was familiar with Xuan Li's thoughts, he still insisted.

"Of course he didn't dare." Jiang Ruan suddenly laughed, turned to look at Qi Feng, his eyes full of beautiful and profound meaning: "Do you know where the eight hundred vehicles of military pay are now?"

When Qi Feng heard her question, he shook his head. The Jinyiwei now even left his military advisor's words behind and followed Jiang Ruan wholeheartedly. For example, last night, Jiang Ruan asked Jin's two secret guards to get into the men and horses led by Xia Jun to take advantage of the chaos to provoke conflicts between the troops and officials, but he did not know in advance. If Qi Feng had known earlier that Jiang Ruan had this plan, he would probably have stopped it. He was used to making complete considerations, although Jiang Ruan's plan was tied up one after another.

The risk he took was too great. Even if he was brave enough to come up with this idea, Qi Feng felt shocked when he thought about it. Now she asked where the eight hundred vehicles of military pay were now, and Qi Feng was even more confused. To be honest, he also suspected that the eight hundred vehicles of military pay was not a small amount, and Xuan Li could not transport them out of the capital so quickly. As for other places, the capital was so big. If he really wanted to check it, it would be a matter of time before he found out. Xuan Li would be so stupid to keep it in his hands as a handle?

"Eight hundred vehicles of military pay is not a small amount," Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Xuanli dug a secret passage in the capital a long time ago. This secret passage leads to hundreds of miles outside the capital. There is a station arranged by Xuanli himself to help him transport all the supplies to other places. If I am not wrong, this batch of military pay is now in the secret passage."

Qi Feng stood up suddenly, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes: "What did you say?"

He knew about the inn outside Xuanli City. The Jinyiwei had found this place a few years ago, but the secret passage was unheard of. Jiang Ruan said so decisively, which immediately shocked Qi Feng. He stared at Jiang Ruan: "What you said is true?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask someone you trust to check it out." Jiang Ruan said.

"How do you know about this?" Qi Feng asked relentlessly: "There has not been found out in the Baizhang Tower of Jinyiwei. Third sister-in-law, don't lie to me. What is the relationship between you and Xuan Li? If there is really a secret passage, why haven't you exposed any flaws for so many years? No matter how well Xuan Li concealed it, it is impossible for him to not reveal any trace."

"No trace is revealed, that's because he has never used this secret passage." Compared to Qi Feng's nervousness, Jiang Ruan was very calm, and could even be called leisurely. Her smile was light, but every word she said hit Qi Feng's heart like a heavy hammer. She said: "The secret passage was found many years ago, but it was a mine channel left by a wealthy businessman in Beijing. After Xuan Li learned about it, he expanded the secret passage outside the capital. He had never used this secret passage.

It's a precaution. I'm just waiting for one day to help the great cause, but now I'm using it in advance." Jiang Ruan looked at Qi Feng with a smile: "As for what you said, why do I know about this? I can't tell you, but Mr. Qi, you can rest assured that since I have entered the door of the Jinying Palace, I'm here for one day, I will protect the Jinying Palace and will not do anything to hurt the palace. Since I am on the same side as your master, why should you worry?"
