On the other side, Hong Ye stood in front of Yu Xilin with her head lowered and an apologetic look on her face. Just like before, her mistake brought trouble to Yu Xilin again.
This time, she looked haggard, as if she was about to fall to her knees.
It seemed that she must feel guilty for her mistake.
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, Hongye made a mistake again."
Her voice was choked up, as if she was about to cry.
Hearing Hongye's words, Yu Xilin suddenly felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.
It feels like a sleeping beast is gradually waking up and preparing to pounce on its prey.
Li Yuyan, the most favored Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, finally found herself alone once, but was ruined by Hongye's mistake. Why should she say sorry?!
"you"
Yu Xilin just opened his mouth to question Hongye, but was interrupted by her.
"Young master, Hong Ye knows that he is wrong, please punish me!" She whispered, her expression firm but persistent, without any fear.
Yu Xilin was choked immediately, and he felt a little conflicted.
Originally, he wanted to get angry and scold Hongye, but when he saw the aggrieved look on her face, he couldn't bear it.
But in the end, he hardened his heart and said to Hongye: "Go down, I need to be quiet!"
There was almost no emotional fluctuation in this sentence, which suddenly destroyed the inner balance Hongye had established.
Hearing these words, Hongye slid to the ground silently, but her eyes showed deep disappointment. She gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said, "Yes!"
Yu Xilin watched Hongye turn away, feeling very annoyed.
His heart was filled with complex emotions: endless hatred, endless anger, which filled his heart with an unparalleled desire to kill.
He swore that he would kill all the Li clan who claimed to be the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he would avenge his ancestors!
He will use his actions to make those who seek to usurp the throne pay the due price. This is his true wish!
But this road to national restoration was long and bumpy, so he could only persevere silently, thinking about the past and mourning alone.
In order to leave the Turkic camp as soon as possible, Lin Xiao put all his energy into cultivating and growing miscellaneous grains.
During this time, she gradually became familiar with the Turkic language and learned simple communication.
That day, Lin Xiao, who was working in the fields, heard the soldiers stationed nearby discussing something.
After listening carefully, I found out that Turkic salt is monopolized by a group of mysterious salt merchants!
Salt merchants took the opportunity to drive up the price of salt, causing the price of salt to skyrocket and was once comparable to gold!
People can live without grains and vegetables, but without salt, ordinary people's lives will be miserable!
No one knew the true identity of the salt merchant leader, except that they came from the Great Xia Dynasty, and Prince Hao Lian was very worried about this.
"No wonder I haven't seen him recently, that's why!"
A look of understanding flashed between Lin Xiao's eyebrows.
She knew in her heart that most of these salt merchants were sent by Li Yuyan. Now the salt from brother workshops has been spread all over the country. They control the sales channels of these salts, so they can easily monopolize the salt market!
However, the war between the two countries has the common people footing the bill. Is this really good?
Lin Xiao smacked her lips and continued to work hard. War is cruel, and she has no ability to help those people. The only thing she can do is to complete the task quickly and leave this ghost place as soon as possible!
However, she didn't notice that not far away, a girl kept staring at her.
She was a little girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow dress of a Turkic aristocrat. She had a delicate appearance, fair skin, and a pair of black grape-like eyes that moved nimbly.
Lin Xiao, who had been busy in the fields all day, dragged his exhausted body back to the camp. Before he could take a sip of water, he was called away by Prince Hao Lian's entourage.
Different from the past, this time Prince Hao Lian seemed to have summoned him very urgently, and Lin Xiao was almost carried away by his entourage as quickly as possible.
Before Lin Xiao could react, he was taken into Prince Hao Lian's tent.
This is an extremely large and gorgeous tent. It looks no different from an ordinary tent on the outside, but inside it is so splendid that it feels like you have arrived at a real palace.
Lin Xiao felt dizzy as soon as he entered. The tent was full of people, and everyone's face was full of anxiety.
She rubbed her temples and tried to calm herself down. Looking at the unfamiliar faces around her, Lin Xiao frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Especially when she saw Yu Xilin in the crowd, those uneasiness became even stronger.
.
"See Prince Hao Lian."
Lin Xiao was slightly blessed and her attitude was very respectful.
However, Prince Hao Lian's face was very ugly, and his voice was cold:
"Are you hiding something from me?"
His voice was full of oppression, making people feel breathless.
Lin Xiao's body trembled, and she couldn't help but raise her head, looking into Prince Hao Lian's eyes as sharp as an eagle, and her heart trembled.
"I don't know what your Majesty is asking about, please clarify it."
Lin Xiao calmed down and answered calmly.
However, her calmness turned into a guilty conscience in the eyes of others!
"Ha! What a sharp and eloquent mouth!"
Prince Hao Lian sneered and slammed the table, his voice full of majesty:
"Lin Xiao, you'd better answer my question honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking, why is this prince so unreasonable?
"Aren't you telling the truth?! Well, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. Mr. Yu, come and confront him!"
Prince Hao Lian pointed at Yu Xilin who was standing next to him.
"yes."
Yu Xilin nodded slightly. He was not too dissatisfied with this rude behavior.
After all, now he still has to use the power of the Turks to weaken the strength of the Daxia Dynasty.
Yu Xilin walked towards Lin Xiao, his face full of indifference:
"Let me ask you, was it you who founded the brothers' workshop in the Daxia Dynasty?"
Brothers workshop?
Lin Xiao finally realized it. It turned out that he was here because of the salt issue!
She knew something in her mind, so she calmly replied:
"That's right."
After receiving Lin Xiao's affirmative answer, Yu Xilin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Prince Hao Lian for credit:
"My lord, should you believe my words now?"
Prince Hao Lian snorted coldly and looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of resentment:
"You Daxia people are really despicable! You do one thing to the front and another behind the scenes. You can do such insidious and cunning ways. You really let me down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of boos in the camp. It was clear that everyone thought Lin Xiao was despicable and would use any means to achieve his goals.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
