"Greetings to General Lü, General Leng." Zhang Baiwan saw Lu Jinxian and Lenghuai sitting at the head of the table. He shrunk his neck and cupped his hands in greeting. Although he was desperate for money, this was the first time he had faced soldiers with killing intent like Lu Jinxian and the others. As for the generals he had seen in Nanjing, compared to Lu Jinxian and the others, they were not worth mentioning.
Lu Jinxian smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. This matter is all thanks to Lord Zhang."
Zhang Baiwan repeatedly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. General, just call me Zhang Baiwan. Since it is Princess Ding's order, how can I not obey? General, rest assured, after today, this one promises that Mo Jingli will not be able to transport half a grain of grain from Jiangnan. "
Lu Jinxian nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Zhang Baiwan was still somewhat nervous, he smiled and comforted him, "Lord Zhang, rest assured, the princess has already made arrangements. This general promises that even if the news of you relying on the Prince Ding Mansion spreads to Jiangnan, your family will not be in any danger. "
Zhang Baiwan's eyes lit up. They were most worried about being discovered by Mo Jingli. After all, their roots were still in Jiangnan, and Mo Jingli still had the final say in Jiangnan.
"Lord Zhang, there is a matter that requires you to return to Jiangnan. I don't know if it is possible?" Mo Xiuyao, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, suddenly opened his mouth. In order to hide his whereabouts, Mo Xiuyao had always disguised himself in the army. She didn't have that obvious white hair, and she had an ordinary face. Even if his aura was shocking, it was difficult for people to associate him with the deceased Prince Ding.
Zhang Baiwan hesitated for a moment. He looked at Lu Jinxian and said, "This is …"
Lu Jinxian said, "This is Ye."
Although Zhang Baiwan didn't know who Ye was, he at least remembered that Princess Ding's surname was Ye. Now that Prince Ding was gone, wasn't Princess Ding in charge of the Prince Ding Mansion? Moreover, judging from Lu Jinxian's attitude, he knew that he could not afford to offend this person. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Young Master, please instruct me." Mo Xiuyao took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Baiwan. "Please take this letter back and deliver it to the person on the envelope."
Zhang Baiwan was stunned. He said with some suspicion, "That's it?" Originally, he thought it was something important. He didn't expect that it was just a simple letter. Anyone could do this kind of thing. This Ye had specifically asked him to deliver the letter, so he couldn't help but feel a trace of suspicion.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly. "Lord Zhang, there is no need to hesitate. It is indeed just a letter. Originally, it didn't matter who delivered the letter, but … after the Prince Ding Mansion's people entered Jiangnan, it would be easy to attract attention, so I wanted to trouble you to make a trip. "
This wasn't a big deal, so Zhang Baiwan naturally wouldn't refuse. Putting away the letter, he nodded and said, "Young Master, please don't worry. I will definitely deliver the letter." Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Lord Zhang only needs to deliver the letter. I can guarantee on behalf of the Princess … that the Zhang family will not be mistreated in the future. "
Zhang Baiwan was overjoyed. He looked at Lu Jinxian and the others, who all had normal expressions. It seemed that this Ye really did have the ability to make decisions on behalf of Princess Ding. The smile on his face deepened. He nodded and said, "Young Master, please don't worry."
After sending off Zhang Baiwan, Lenghuai frowned and said, "Prince, this Zhang Baiwan is too greedy. I'm afraid he's not that reliable."
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Li Li chose him to work with and not anyone else. This proves that he is indeed worth it. And … being greedy isn't a bad thing. People die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food. If he really has the ability, I don't mind letting him take a bit more. "But if he went too far, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make him spit out all his family's wealth.
"But … according to the news we received, this person also has some unclear relationship with the West-Hill." Leng Huai frowned. In the letter that Princess Ding left behind before she left, she said that this person could not be completely trusted.
Mo Xiuyao was not surprised and said with a smile, "He is a businessman. Naturally, he won't put all his eggs in the same basket."
"What did the Prince write in the letter to him?" Yun Ting asked curiously.
Mo Xiuyao said, "It said … Prince Ding is not dead yet. He is now seriously injured and on the verge of death. He wants the Shadow Guard hidden in the Prince Ding Mansion in Jiangnan to go to Nanzhao to borrow troops to save Princess Ding from being trapped in Feihong Pass. "
Everyone was confused. Ask Nanzhao to borrow troops? Their situation wasn't that bad, was it? Furthermore, Nanzhao had just had internal strife for a few years and had been entangled with Xi Ling for a while. Even if they used all the power of the country, how many troops could they borrow?
After thinking for a moment, He Su said, "The Prince suspects that Zhang Baiwan is one of Lei Zhenting's people?" If Zhang Baiwan really was one of Lei Zhenting's people, he would definitely not return to Jiangnan after receiving this letter. He would send it directly to Lei Zhenting's hands. Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "Right now, he is definitely not one of Lei Zhenting's people. But after he reads this letter, it is not certain."
Everyone looked at each other. Only now did they understand that this was a test from the Prince to the wealthy Jiangnan merchants led by Zhang Baiwan. If they chose wrongly …
Yun Ting furrowed his brows and said, "Isn't this too … after all, perhaps Zhang Baiwan does not have such thoughts right now." Purposely stirring up other people's disloyalty, although a large part of this was due to these people's weak minds. Originally, most of the people in this world were ordinary people with weak minds. As long as they were not given a chance, perhaps they would never betray.
Mo Xiuyao said lightly, "Jiangnan will change very quickly. At that time … these people will become very important. Rather than having these wavering people ruin I's matters, I would rather get rid of them all and replace them with people who will not have disloyalty. "Perhaps such a method was somewhat cruel, but Mo Xiuyao had too many things to consider. He was responsible for the entire Prince Ding Mansion and the rise and fall of the Mohist army. He did not have the energy to care about the life and death of individuals and whether they were innocent or not. What's more, didn't he leave them with a chance?
Glancing at Mo Xiuyao's cold gaze, Yun Ting sighed in his heart and said no more. He understood Prince Ding's meaning. Compared to these old Mohist army people who had experienced many things, he was clearly too soft-hearted and naive.
