Qin Yuan has resentment, but he doesn't dare to vent it.
Because of the reasons for the current situation, Xuzhou officials from top to bottom all have unshirkable responsibility, so they cannot blame others for being treated like this.
When Qin Yuan was almost desperate, this dark figure who was said to be the most dangerous in the capital gave Xuzhou such great support.
There is a huge gap between rumors and reality.
Xia Shang looked at the change in Qin Yuan's expression and said in a low voice: "I choose to believe you now. As long as you go to the capital for the sake of the people of China, I can safely hand over this money to you. As long as you are let down by me,
I hope that peace can be restored to the people of Dahua as soon as possible."
At this time, Qin Yuan also understood Xia Shang's thoughts and solemnly nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do everything for the imperial court and the common people."
"Where are the people you brought?"
"Stationed outside the capital."
"Find time to give the money to the people of Shinna and send it back to Xuzhou first."
"Where is the lower official?"
"You haven't found any soldiers, so how can you go back and deliver them? I'll take you to borrow some soldiers now."
"Borrowing troops?" Qin Yuan was confused again.
Xia Shang didn't have time to explain, so he took Qin Yuan away from Yunxiang Building.
At the next stop, Xia Shang took Qin Yuan to Prince Yong's Mansion.
The capital has been relatively peaceful recently, and both King Yong and the Queen are here.
They were very surprised by Xia Shang's arrival.
"Lord Xia? You are such a rare visitor. After disappearing for so many days, you are finally willing to show up?" Nangong Chuxin greeted him, his words revealing some dissatisfaction with Xia Shang's recent behavior.
Look at Li Yong on the side.
I don’t know what I experienced in the palace before, but I seem to be looking better than before.
He didn't seem to be angry because of Xia Shang, and still warmly welcomed Xia Shang when he entered.
Just seeing Qin Yuan behind Xia Shang, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this the captain of Xuzhou?"
Xia Shang looked at it and wondered: "Do you know the prince?"
"Of course I know him. I even waited for him in person a few days ago."
Xia Shang's face darkened: "It turns out that the prince has seen it before, which saves a lot of trouble. I wonder what the prince thinks of the situation in Xuzhou? How will he deal with it?"
As soon as he said this, Li Yong frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Nangong Chuxin interrupted: "It's not convenient to talk here, so let's talk inside."
The plum blossoms in the Prince's Plum Garden have not all fallen yet. It may be that the long-term wind and snow have caused the plum blossoms to fade.
The flowering period has become longer, and at this time, there is still the last trace of plum blossoms in full bloom in a corner of the plum garden.
We prepared some wine and food in a small pavilion in the plum garden.
Xia Shang, Qin Yuan, the prince and the princess were all under the pavilion.
Qin Yuan was a little emotional.
What was the treatment like when I came to visit myself a few days ago?
What is the treatment for the first adult to visit today?
What a world of difference!
Xia Shang seemed a little impatient. He asked before waiting for the food and wine prepared by the princess: "My lord and princess, you should tell me your attitude."
Nangong Chuxin frowned: "What attitude? What is Mr. Xia's attitude? Can a small Xuzhou and a small fight thousands of miles away make the disappeared First Master reappear?"
"My presence here is my attitude. I promised this captain to lend him troops."
"Since you want to borrow troops, then Sir Xia can just go and borrow troops. Why do you come to the palace? Is it possible that you want hundreds of servants from the palace to go to the battlefield?"
"Princess, I didn't come here today to say these useless words. I didn't prepare any more reasons to ask the palace to borrow troops. I just want to show off my face."
"Refresh your face?" Nangong Chuxin was stunned and didn't understand.
"Let's put it this way, I, Xia Shang, took the initiative to ask if Prince Yong's Palace would like to borrow troops, and how much would it like to borrow?!"
I’ve seen it be direct, but I’ve never seen it be this direct!
Even a shrewd woman like Nangong Chuxin was stopped by Xia Shang's words.
Xia Shang's words are very simple. I'm asking you whether to borrow or not, and how much to borrow. Don't give me any excuses, just one sentence.
Just one word, no matter what he said, he turned around and left.
Nangong Chuxin looked at Li Yong, wondering if he wanted to test Li Yong's intentions.
Li Yong did not respond. He had no power at all. Even some private soldiers were in the hands of Nangong Chuxin. Nangong Chuxin had the final say on how many there were and how much he could borrow.
Nangong Chu thought about it for probably a quarter of an hour, then raised his head and said: "Eight hundred! It can only be eight hundred at most!"
Xia Shang stood up and clasped his fists: "Thank you very much. Please give the princess an order immediately to mobilize 800 troops to join the Xuzhou army."
After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping.
The whole process was so fast that Qin Yuan didn't even react.
Seeing Xia Shang leaving, Qin Yuan was still a little confused.
"Is this done? In one sentence, eight hundred soldiers? Really?
Fake?”
At this time, Xia Shang turned around and shouted: "What are you stunned for? Hurry up and get the next one."
"oh oh……"
Qin Yuan responded repeatedly and followed him out.
"Xia Shang!" Nangong Chuxin couldn't help it and shouted.
Xia Shang stopped and looked back at Nangong Chuxin: "Princess, what else do you want?"
"In order to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs! Don't you understand? You can't control yourself. Are you controlling things too leniently?"
"Tolerant? It's not that I'm too lenient, it's just that you are a woman, and if you can see it, you will be short-lived!"
Xia Shang's words made Nangong Chuxin blush.
She swore that this was the first man who dared to call her woman short-sighted.
"you……"
Xia Shang frowned slightly and added: "Perhaps I am biased against the Japanese, but I cannot smile at that nation. If they invade, I will fight. You don't care, I will!"
After saying that, Nangong Chuxin left Prince Yong's Mansion, leaving a confused look on his face.
"The lower official feels that since the mention of the Japanese, your Excellency has become very radical. Is it because there is hatred between the Excellency and the Japanese?"
"Hate? I can't talk about it...it's just..." Xia Shang thought, not knowing how to answer, "In short, I know that the Japanese have great ambitions, and we must not let them go."
Qin Yuan clenched his fists and was very excited: "What you said is even true! The Japanese are extremely ambitious, extremely hypocritical, extremely cruel, and dehumanizing! Only soldiers who have fought with the Japanese on the border and people who have been harmed by the Japanese can understand the danger.
"Xiaoguan has told countless people, but no one believes what he said. They all say it is making a mountain out of a molehill. They all believe that the Japanese pirates are just a slap in the face and will not have any impact on the foundation of the country."
"I know this better than anyone else." Xia Shang was very confident about this, "But there are some insurmountable difficulties at the moment. I can only try my best to gain more combat power for Xuzhou."
"Xiaguan really wants to thank you, sir, on behalf of the people and sergeants of Xuzhou." Qin Yuan sighed, "I am ashamed to say that I have visited the capital all over, but not a single soldier came. Master Quan Nai's words are just for me.
Xuzhou captured 800 people."
"Eight hundred people are too few. Next we will go to the Ministry of War to mobilize troops."
