As soon as he and Leng Zijunhao agreed on the time to send troops, Ji Shenjue immediately wrote a letter to Ji Shenlin, ordered to purchase a large amount of grain and grass, and prepared troops to attack Nantuo.
However, the reply I got was that the cities in Xiling Kingdom were seriously short of food. Not to mention the need to raise two months of food for 600,000 soldiers and horses, even the people's current food supply was in crisis. It is said that ten days ago,
The result of Shuise Chonglou.
For this reason, Ji Shenjue and Ji Shenluoyan were immediately furious and could only order them to buy grain and grass from other countries. The answer they got was even more shocking, because Shuise Chonglou not only attacked Xiling, but even Bei
Pi, Dongmi, and even Nantuo were not spared. The only difference was that in their treatment of Dongmi and Nantuo, they ensured the people's food supply. They did not have the same problems as Xiling and Beipi.
It means to kill them all.
After much thought, Ji Shenjue and his wife finally decided to discuss this matter with Leng Zijunhao. After all, they were the two countries who were obviously targeted! And without enough food and grass, their battle would be impossible.
Can't fight.
At the same time, Leng Zijunhao was also receiving a letter from Beipi Emperor's order. It was also about Beipi's serious food shortage.
As soon as Ji Shenjue and his wife arrived, Leng Zijunhao immediately realized something and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you, Xiling, have the same problem!"
"Yes! So no, I have come to see you, Prince Beipi, to discuss countermeasures!" Nodding, Ji Shenjue replied with a serious look on his face.
"Take a seat first!" He said politely to Ji Shenjue and his wife, Leng Zijunhao turned around and ordered to the maid next to him, "Serve tea!"
After the tea was served, Leng Zijunhao asked Ji Shenjue with a serious face, "What do you think about this matter?"
"This matter must have something to do with Nantuo and Dongmi." Ji Shenjue said angrily.
Hearing this, Ji Shenluoyan hurriedly added, "Yes, and it seems that the news about our alliance sending troops to the south has been spread, otherwise our two countries would not have serious food shortage problems at this time."
Leng Zijunhao nodded thoughtfully. "Yes! And judging from this matter, Nan Tuo and Dong Mi should have reached some kind of tacit understanding, or reached some kind of negotiation." As he said,
Leng Zijunhao's brows furrowed again.
"Then Prince Yi, what should we do about this matter? If this continues, not to mention that we will not be able to send troops to expand southward, it is even possible that our two countries will face an unprecedented famine due to lack of food!
"Ji Shenjue said with a headache on his face.
"Famine is still a small problem. If Nantuo or Dongmi send troops to our two countries at this time, then our two countries will face unprecedented disasters, and even our two countries will..." The word "destruction", finally Ji
Shen Luoyan is really difficult to export.
After a heavy sigh, Leng Zijunhao finally opened his lips and said solemnly. "Now that things have happened, we can only catch them from the source."
"What does Prince Beipi mean?" Ji Shenjue asked with some confusion.
"Since this matter was caused by Shuise Chonglou, we should go meet the owner of Shuise Chonglou, Shui Qingcheng!"
"Shui Qingcheng? But don't the rumors say that she is the dragon who sees the head but not the tail? In my opinion, it may not be that simple to see her. And since she is deliberately targeting our two countries, how can she meet us?"
Pulling the corner of his mouth, Leng Zijunhao smiled coldly. "To be honest, I was lucky enough to meet her not long ago." Thinking of that coquettish and slutty woman, Leng Zijunhao shook his head helplessly. Ruozao
Knowing that such a day would come, he really should have had a good relationship with her at that time.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, because he saw Xiahou Yexiu and Murong Tuomie competing to see the woman regardless of their status and situation, he was curious, so he paid a lot of money to win the opportunity to be alone with the woman. But who knew, a dignified
The head of the house shamelessly seduced him into bed as soon as he saw him. At that time, he was in a bad mood and was wary of the woman, so he left after sitting there for a while.
Hearing this, Ji Shen was overjoyed. "So, Prince Beipi and Shui Qingcheng are old acquaintances?"
Leng Zijunhao shook his head. "It's not an old acquaintance, it can only be said that we have a close relationship!"
"Then how can Prince Beipi see her?" Ji Shenjue asked again.
"Since she is the head of Shuise Chonglou, of course we go to Shuise Chonglou to find her." Leng Zijunhao replied thoughtfully.
Ji Shenluoyan nodded. "This is also a good idea. I hope that during this meeting, Prince Beipi can successfully convince her to return all the food and grass in her hands to us."
Hearing this, Leng Zijunhao couldn't help but look at Ji Shen Luoyan sarcastically. "Huh? Haha, the princess is too naive! Do you think that for a businessman, she is really good at making losses?
Not to mention paying it back, even if you want to buy it for her, there might be some problems."
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Shenjue said hurriedly, "As long as she is willing to sell it, I am willing to buy it for any amount of money!"
"What can I say now? I can only try my best to convince her!" As he spoke, Leng Zijunhao was counting cards in his heart again. He Ji Shenjue would be willing to buy it at any price! If that was the case, he might
Not only can I buy back the confiscated grain and grass from Beipi without spending a penny, I can even take this opportunity to make a fortune!
Noticing the light flashing in Leng Zijunhao's eyes, Ji Shenjue was not stupid, and immediately said, "In that case, how about we go meet this Shui Qingcheng tonight?" The implication was that he, Ji Shenjue, was
Must go too.
"We?" Hearing this, Leng Zijunhao was obviously unhappy.
Ji Shenjue nodded. "Yes! What? Is there a problem with Prince Beipi? If there is really a problem, then I can only ask someone to find her alone."
With a cold look in his eyes, Leng Zi Junhao immediately shook his head. "It's okay, just follow what the regent said!" If he were to go alone, it might be Leng Zi Junhao who would suffer the consequences.
"Master, if you really want to convince Shui Qingcheng, you might as well bring Ruoshuiyue." At this moment, Jiang Long suddenly reminded him.
"Why?" The speaker was Ji Shenluoyan. It was obvious that she was very unhappy when she heard that Ruoshuiyue wanted to go with her.
Seeing that Jiang Long didn't answer Ji Shenluoyan, Leng Zijunhao then gave instructions. "Tell me the reason and listen."
"Based on my previous observations, Ruo Shuiyue seems to be very close to one of the stewards of Shuise Chonglou, and she seems to not need any admission fee to enter Shuise Chonglou. I..."
"What does this mean?" Jiang Long was interrupted by Ji Shenluoyan before he finished speaking.
Looking at Ji Shenluoyan indifferently, Jiang Long couldn't help but ask, "I guess the regent princess has never entered the Water Color Chonglou, right?"
"So what? I don't even care about going to a place like that." Regarding this, Ji Shen Luoyan looked indifferent.
"Maybe the Princess Regent is not interested, but maybe you don't know, Princess, that the entry fee for Shuise Chonglou is shockingly expensive, not to mention the consumption. You think, if she didn't have a certain relationship with the head of the family, she could
Do you just casually enter the water-colored building without any money?"
Hearing this, Leng Zijunhao couldn't help but nodded. "Jiang Long is right. If Ruo Shuiyue and Shui Qingcheng didn't know each other and had an extraordinary relationship, she would never be able to enter and leave the Shuise Chonglou at will. Alas! It seems that I have another
I have to use her again!" As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Zijunhao suddenly realized something, so he half-seriously, half-jokingly asked Ji Shenjue, "Would the regent mind?"
At that moment, Ji Shenjue's face was obviously twitching. It took a while before he saw him smiling reluctantly. "Prince Beipi really knows how to laugh! What does your use of her have to do with me?"
"That's what you say, but no matter what, she is also your biological daughter! What the regent said is really a bit..."
Before Leng Zijunhao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Shenluoyan. "Prince Beipi is serious. My prince has only two daughters, Huan'er and Meng'er, and the others are just dogs.
"
Ji Shenjue didn't say anything, but when she heard Ji Shenluoyan talking about dogs, her brows tightened slightly.
Compared to Ji Shenjue, Leng Zijunhao was obviously a little unhappy. After all, if Shuiyue was his woman, if she became a dog, what would he become? And their children?
Of course, he didn't mean to fall out with Ji Shen Luoyan, but he just smiled meaningfully at Ji Shenjue. "That's what I said, but if the prince didn't give up on her at the beginning, but directly used her as a father,
Maybe many things will be easier! No? After all, she cares so much about you as her father!"
Hearing this, Ji Shenjue's heart trembled slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. But now, does he still have any choice? After all, between family affection and power, he has already made a choice.
Ji Shenluoyan was obviously unhappy. "I wonder what the purpose of Prince Beipi's sudden remarks like this is?"
With a frivolous brow, Leng Zi Junhao smiled lightly. "It's nothing, I just said it casually!" Of course he didn't just say it casually! Although he and Ji Shenjue and his wife are now in a cooperative relationship, he always thinks of them trying to harm his pair.
Children, he wished he could skin them alive right now! So, since they made him unhappy, how could he easily take advantage of them?
Hearing this, Ji Shenluoyan said nothing, but glared at Leng Zijunhao with great dissatisfaction.
"Mother, father..." At this moment, Ji Shenmeng suddenly walked in with the support of Nanny Qin and a maid.
