Xiao Qingwang came to a sudden realization, "No wonder he's so skilled in medicine. He can even remove the cold energy that has accumulated in our bodies for so many years. Yun Shang, don't worry, we're all on the same side. "
Luo Yunshang nodded, but when she thought about how Gu Feiyang was still alive, she couldn't calm down.
Suddenly, someone reported from outside the tent, "Marshal, we've reached Flourishing Water City. Should we enter or take a detour?"
Chen Dasheng furrowed his brows and crossed his arms as he pondered, "Prosperous Water City's City Lord Zhuo Hongguang is also First Prince Qin Yang's man. If we enter the city, we won't give him any face, lest we invite trouble for ourselves. Pass down the order to take a detour. There should be a town a hundred li ahead, we'll rest there. "
"Yes!" The man acknowledged the order and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a voice called out, "Wait!"
Ji Meng's silhouette walked into the commander's tent. He cupped his fists and said, "Commander, Young Master Yun just said that the people in Flourishing Water City belong to First Prince Qin Yang. He wants the army to stop for a while and let me lead the student army in to get some rations."
"Ask for some rations?" Chen Dasheng was surprised, "Is the army running out of rations?" He didn't know that Li Yunxiao had plundered Puyang City's mayor's residence.
Jimeng also showed a rare smile, "Hehe, we're borrowing some money from First Prince's men to spend."
Faint!
Everyone understood now. Chen Lin said angrily, "We're a regular army, not bandits! How can we … "
Chen Dasheng suddenly made a hand gesture to stop Chen Lin. After a moment of thought, he said, "Now is the time to fight for the position of crown prince, it's a good thing to strike the enemy to fill up our ranks. I'll give you the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, go quickly! "
At the same time, he ordered, "Rest outside the city for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn!"
Jimeng laughed, "No need, we'll be back in fifteen minutes!" With a light tap of his foot, he soared into the sky.
Chen Lin and Han Qianfang were both speechless. They felt that their commander doted on Li Yunxiao too much, to the point that he would even do something that violated the law. This would have been unimaginable in the past.
Soon, the eight hundred thousand soldiers stopped outside the city and reorganized themselves. Jimeng, on the other hand, led two thousand students into the city.
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this, they didn't dare to stop them.
More than two thousand people were also very disciplined. After entering the city, they headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
What made everyone overjoyed was that the City Lord, Zhuo Hongguang, was taking in 27 concubines today. All the people who came to congratulate him all brought gifts, their faces beaming with joy. Zhuo Hongguang was also dressed in a red wedding robe. He was holding his fourteen-year-old concubine's hand as they performed the ceremony.
A servant ran in with a face full of cold sweat, and hurriedly whispered in Zhuo Hongguang's ear, "City Lord, bad news. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers came and stopped right outside our mansion! "
Zhuo Hongguang was taken aback for a moment before he pondered, "Could it be that one of the generals has also come to congratulate me? There doesn't seem to be any troops stationed nearby? "
Just as he was feeling doubtful, Jimeng's voice drifted over. "The Eastern Punitive Expedition is passing through your territory and is here to borrow some money. City Lord Zhuo, continue. Don't worry about us. We'll just take some for ourselves. "
Very quickly, more than two thousand students rushed into the mansion. Even more than ten people ran into the main hall. In front of all the people who came to congratulate him, they swept away all the gifts in the hall.
By the time Zhuo Hongguang reacted, more than two thousand students were all in high spirits and prepared to leave.
Zhuo Hongguang flew into a rage. Just as he was about to bring his men to vent his anger, Jimeng coldly swept out with his sword. The tallest building in the City Lord's Mansion, Admiring Moon Pavilion, collapsed with a loud bang.
One Sword Collapsing a Building!
This time, everyone was scared stiff. The strongest commander in the city was only a Nine Star Martial Grandmaster. He immediately hid himself, not daring to show his face. The rest of the people didn't dare to make a sound. They could only watch as more than two thousand students left.
Indeed, in less than the time it took for a joss stick to burn, Jimeng brought his men back to the army. He came to the commander's tent alone and said with a face full of smiles, "Commander, we can continue the march!"
Chen Dasheng chuckled and said, "From the looks of it, you must have gained quite a lot, right? How many gold coins did you get? "
Han Qianfang also chuckled and said, "Although Prosperous Water City is not as rich as Puyang City, it is still one of the main cities of the Tianshui Nation. I'm guessing that you guys got at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, maybe even millions. "
Chen Lin was shocked. "Millions? That much? "He looked annoyed." If I knew this, I would have gone too! "
Jimeng laughed and said, "Not much. Not even one-tenth of what Puyang City got."
"F * ck! You guys got Puyang City too! "Chen Dasheng stared and said," No wonder you guys are so familiar with the route. How much did you get here? "
Jimeng thought for a while with his fingers and said, "I didn't count carefully. Just the gold coins alone, there are only about 30 million. As for the other rare treasures, they're probably worth one or two hundred million. "
"What? 30 million gold coins! Treasures worth 100 to 200 million! "Han Qianfang bit his tongue and cried out in pain.
Chen Dasheng's eyes almost fell to the ground. He said in shock, "The military expenditure of the entire nation is only 1 billion gold coins a year! How can there be so much money? "
Chen Lin was also going crazy. He said, "Didn't you just say that this is not even one-tenth of what Puyang City got?"
Only Xiao Qingwang and Luo Yunshang had a weak concept of money. After a slight shock, they smiled and didn't say anything.
Han Qianfang cried, "Marshal, let's return to the army and go to Puyang City again."
Chen Dasheng was dumbfounded. He opened the tent flap and saw the two thousand student soldiers outside. Their morale was high and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Jimeng smiled and said, "I have to go back and report to Young Master Yun." He jumped up and landed on Li Yunxiao's war chariot and walked in.
"Father!" Chen Lin also cried, "I have never seen so much gold coins in my life. It's the same as him, but it's his first time leading troops to war. When he returns, he will probably become the richest man in the nation. We are also leading troops to war. It's been so many years, but we are so poor! "
"That's right, Marshal!" Han Qianfang also had a bitter expression as he complained, "I have been a general for so many years, but apart from the soldiers' pay, I have never seen so much money. When will I be rich enough to retire? "
Chen Dasheng's mind was in a mess. He slammed the table and shouted, "Bring me the map!"
Immediately, an officer took out a military map and spread it on the table. Chen Lin didn't understand and asked, "Father, why are you looking at the military map?"
Chen Dasheng waved his hand and looked at the map carefully. "Let's see how many cities of the First Prince's forces are up ahead. One, two, three, four …"
He counted them one by one. Chen Lin and Han Qianfang almost fainted, but they soon became excited. Their eyes were filled with gold coins.
"Only five?" Chen Dasheng was stunned. "Not enough, not enough!" He paced back and forth a few times, then slammed the table and said, "We will take a detour and arrive two days later. We can pass by three more cities. In any case, Li Changfeng isn't in a hurry! "
"Good! We agree as well! "Han Qian Fang and the other man stood up abruptly and laughed in delight.
The 800,000 strong army immediately changed their original marching plan and began to take a detour.
Everywhere they passed, there were smiles on everyone's faces. Only the local city lords were crying.
There were thirteen main cities in the Tianshui Country and more than thirty small cities. The city lord was the highest official in the area, almost like a local emperor. Furthermore, it was a lifelong position that could be inherited. Therefore, in some cities with a long history, the Prefecture Lord was an extremely wealthy existence.
Soon, letters after letters flew into the capital like snowflakes and were delivered to the imperial court. At the same time, they landed in the residence of the First Prince, Qin Yang, because everyone who was robbed was attached to his faction.
"Bang!"
Another messenger was kicked to death by Qin Yang. He angrily roared in the residence, "Xiao Qingwang, Chen Dasheng! You and I will not exist under the same sky! "
Gao Feng said calmly behind him, "Another place was robbed?"
Qin Yang roared, "All these years, I relied on the financial resources provided by the city lords of these places to develop my faction to where I am today! Now, not only have I lost my financial resources, the Central Army is gone, and the Golden Lion Legion is also gone. Almost overnight, the general trend has left me. How can there be such a ridiculous thing! "
Gao Feng also felt that the changes in this period of time were too fast. He said with a cold face, "Looks like Li Yi was right. That Li Yunxiao is really a monster! Ever since he rose to power and sided with Qin Yue, the First Prince's faction started to collapse and all of them started to side with Qin Yue. "
Qin Yang's eyes were spitting fire as he said angrily, "Li Yunxiao deserves to die! Now, even Li Yi's fate is unknown and his whereabouts are unknown! A few days ago, there was news that even that old fox Lan Hong started to side with Li Yi. He directly gave that bitch Concubine Fragrance a birthday gift worth tens of millions! One by one, they left me. Do they no longer have faith in me?! "
Gao Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, "First Prince, don't be impatient. Don't forget that we still have our biggest trump card. When the time comes, even if the whole world stands with Qin Yue, it will be useless!"
Only then did Qin Yang calm down a little. His eyes revealed a fierce look as he said to Gao Feng, "That's right. This is my biggest and only trump card! Commander Gao, you are my most trusted confidant. You must handle this matter properly for me! When I ascend to the throne, you will be an existence above all others! "
Gao Feng bowed and said, "First Prince, rest assured. This matter is about to be completed. I will definitely make haste and there will not be any mistakes! "
Qin Yang said coldly, "Very good!"
Only then did he recover his high and mighty aura of a prince. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he said coldly, "All of you just wait and see how I cut you into pieces!"
… …
After a few days of detours, the Eastern Punitive Expedition finally arrived at An Yong City after eight days. Kunjin City was just a few dozen miles away.
An Yong City was a small city. In terms of strategic position, it was only a buffer zone.
