Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

Although Xiao Jin tried his best not to show his emotions, Su Ying still found something wrong with him.

Xiao Jin didn't say anything until he lay down on the bed after washing at night.

Su Ying rubbed against him, Xiao Jin felt her movement, but subconsciously turned her body to make room for her to lean into his arms better.

Su Ying leaned against him, but didn't hear any movement from him, she could only turn around to face him, even in the dark, she caught his unpredictable eyes at the first time.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Jin came back to his senses, held her hand and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some things in court."

Chaozhong will be fine one day, except for the accident in Kuncheng until now, she has never seen anything that can bother him so much.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to tell me?"

Su Ying put her hand on his chest lightly, under the palm was his strong heartbeat.

Xiao Jin frowned, "Su Yulun had an accident. Today there was news that the mine suddenly collapsed when he went to inspect the gold mine and he was buried inside."

"Will Su Yulun go down to the mine to inspect?"

Xiao Jin hugged her tightly, anyone who knew Su Yulun knew that he would never do that.

"Someone wanted his life."

Su Ying pursed her lips, Su Yulun is the prime minister, killing him is a very, very dangerous act, unless the other party is going to do something more dangerous than killing Su Yulun, discovering a gold mine without reporting it and mining it privately is a capital crime of losing his head , so the other party just killed Su Yulun without doing anything?

Su Ying couldn't figure it out, the most important thing now was to send someone over there to find out what was going on.

"Have you sent anyone?"

"Well, let Zhao Neng go with five thousand elite soldiers."

Su Ying nodded, "Don't worry, I'll ask the Red Devils to investigate tomorrow to see if I can find some unknown clues."

Many of the killers of the Red Devils are in the ranks of the three religions, and sometimes they know more than the royal spies, and some things are easier for them to find out.

"good."

The next day, after having breakfast, Su Ying went to the back garden to send a letter to Motu Feiying, asking him to send someone to investigate the affairs of Qingyang County.

Coincidentally, when the gold mine in Qingyang County was first discovered, the Red Devils noticed it. They may have realized that the matter was not that simple, so they had been secretly observing the progress of the matter to see if they could make money from it. Some benefits.

When Motu sent a letter to ask the person in charge over there to investigate, news soon came.

Su Ying looked at the news from Motu, which detailed the situation of the gold mine at that time.

After the gold mine was discovered, Ma Zhi immediately had evil thoughts, but he didn't do it immediately, but waited for a few days. Motu guessed that he should have sent a letter to the people behind him during the few days of waiting. , he must obey the other party's instructions.

A few days later, Ma Zhi began to be dug.

Before Su Yunlun arrived in Qingyang County, Ma Zhi asked people to speed up mining. After Su Yulun arrived, he didn't know what method he used to bring Su Yulun to the gold mine and buried him directly.

Now Motu asked the Red Devils to track down where the dug out gold mines went.

What's more, after Su Yulun was buried, Ma Zhi also ran away, and the people sent by the imperial court to Kuncheng are now doing their best to track down Ma Zhi's whereabouts.

After Xiao Jin came back, Su Ying showed him the news.

After Xiao Jin read the news, he immediately asked Zhang Shuming to take out the map.

Kuncheng is very close to the southwestern border of Chu State. It is easy for Ma Zhi to escape from the border, but outside the border, at least within a few hundred miles are deserted, at least there is no record of the five hundred miles outside the border. any country within.

The possibility of Ma Zhi escaping from the country is very small. If he goes out from this place, even if he has gold, he will have no place to spend his silver, and he may die outside.

If he didn't leave the country, he could only go north-south to Jinling City.

Xiao Jin tapped on the map with his slender fingertips.

Su Ying glanced at the sphere of influence of Jinling City and said: "This is a big city, does he dare to escape here?"

Xiao Jin said: "This is the fiefdom of King Jiangning, and it is now guarded by his second son Xiao Shijie."

"manor……"

Since it is a fief, some things are not controlled by the imperial court.

If Ma Zhizhen wanted to escape to Jinling City, it would be more difficult for the court to arrest people than other places.

"If he escapes to Jinling City...and joins Xiao Shijie, do you think Xiao Shijie dares to accept him?"

Xiao Jin's eyes were dim, but Su Ying had a bolder thought, "Is there a possibility that he didn't escape there, but... went back?"

Xiao Jin's pupils shrank sharply, and the air pressure around him dropped.

Su Ying felt that there was no such possibility.

"Try?" Su Ying raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Jinen said, "Try."

...

It snowed heavily again at night, and the sky was not completely bright at the time of the hour.

King Jiang Ning was waiting outside the gate of the palace, stomping his feet in the cold, his cheeks turned red from the cold, but compared with the anxiety in his heart, this severe cold was nothing.

Early this morning, the emperor sent someone to his mansion to send a message to let him enter the palace. He has no official position, so the emperor must not want to see him for no reason.

King Jiang Ning went through all the things he had done recently, just wanting to know if he had done anything wrong.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what he should have done. He didn't come back to his senses until Zhang Shuming's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you in."

King Jiang Ning walked into the hall with apprehensive steps and shrinking his neck.

"See the emperor."

"Uncle, get up."

King Jiang Ning stood up and took a quick look at Xiao Jin. He felt that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood and looked a little talkative, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that he would be slapped in the face in a short while.

"Sit down, Uncle Huang. Letting Uncle Huang enter the palace today is because I have not been able to have a good meal with Uncle Huang since I returned to Beijing. I just took advantage of this gap today to let Uncle Huang enter the palace to chat about family affairs."

King Jiang Ning glanced at Xiao Jin quickly, and he didn't feel that he and this cold-faced nephew had anything to gossip about!

"Yes, yes, I also have a lot of things I want to say to the emperor, hehehehe..."

"Oh? What does the emperor want to say to me?"

When King Jiang Ning choked, he just said polite words, how could the emperor not understand even the polite words!

Fortunately, Xiao Jin didn't ask any further questions, otherwise King Jiang Ning would really feel that what he came to eat was a decapitated meal.

The maid came in with the food. Adhering to the principle of thrift, the maid brought three dishes and one soup.

"Usually, I would eat two dishes. Today when the emperor's uncle entered the palace, I specially ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some more for the emperor's uncle. The emperor will try it to see if these dishes suit his appetite."

King Jiang Ning obediently picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. He swallowed it without chewing and nodded desperately: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen Shijie, and I don't know how he is doing in Jinling City. I figured that next month will be the birthday of the emperor's uncle. Now the emperor's uncle is his only son. Why don't we let him go to Beijing?" Shall I celebrate Uncle Huang's birthday?"
