Quanzhou Post House, at this moment is the most lively time, Princess Zhaohua held a banquet to raise donations, whether the people present are willing or not, happy or not, but the money always has to be taken out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEspecially after Hu Yicai, the guardian of a county, took out 10,000 taels, and Ning Zhiwen, the first assistant of Quanzhou, took out 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone military rations, other people had no choice.

Before the banquet, Princess Zhaohua had already raised more than two million taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain, which surprised Princess Zhaohua, it turned out that Da Chu was really so rich!

It's a pity that such a rich country has let the second brother play off the line, and now it is in danger. Thinking of Daming's inner library and mansion that are so clean that even rats don't bother to go there, Min Ruoxi can't help but hate a little itchy teeth, if Daming is so rich, what can't he do? What can't be done?

Although he hated in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, as long as Cheng Wuben successfully retreated to Jinghu County, then these silvers and grains should be able to help him, so that he could stabilize the Jinghu defense line and hold most of the country, and only in this way can Chu Guoshang still have the strength to drag the Qi people for Daming.

I believe that after this battle, the Chu people will regard the Qi people as enemies, and the Qi people will also want to kill the Chu people and then quickly, and the two sides will fight each other, and Da Ming will naturally be able to stand aside and watch the show with a smile.

And, of course, you can make a fortune.

The state of Chu is like this, apart from the Ming Kingdom, who else can they ask for help? Qin State? Under the coercion of the Ming Dynasty, they were already desperate, and Min Ruoxi also knew more or less about her husband's arrangement in the Qin State, and the wine koji had been buried, waiting for him to ferment, and then he could make a delicious wine.

The State of Chu will have to rely on the Ming State to fight against the State of Qi in the future, so the State of Qi will not need the Great Ming? The answer, of course, is yes. If the main force is dragged by the Chu State, the Qi State can only use a gentle policy against the Ming State and win it over, then the Ming Dynasty can naturally wait for the price and sell.

It seems that the whole situation has returned to the past, whether it is Chu or Qi, they all have to make great efforts to win over the Ming Kingdom.

Daming needs time, Min Ruoxi knows this very well, with the current thriving and ever-changing scene of Daming, as long as there is enough time, he can beat anyone who dares to blow up with Daming in the future.

Now, it's just a matter of power.

Pinching the wine glass, looking at the soft posture of the dancing girls in the hall, Min Ruoxi pursed her lips, which was much worse than the dancers trained by Zirou in heaven and earth. You must know that those dancing girls under Zirou's command, if they want them to be feminine, they will be kitsch to the bone, and if they want them to be strong, they will be like soldiers who have just stepped off the battlefield. When the army returned from Hengdian, those dancing girls and singers danced a song, but the soldiers who watched it burst into tears and couldn't help themselves.

His eyes rolled and slipped to Ning Zhiwen, only to see that he was also looking down and pondering, as if he had noticed something, Ning Zhiwen looked up and saw Min Ruoxi who was looking at him, with a slight panic on his face. Min Ruoxi smiled and raised her glass to sign, this is today's big financier, and, it won't be long before Min Ruoxi believes that there will be a big stroke on him, of course he will give him some good colors to see.

Looking at Min Ruoxi's smiling face, Ning Zhiwen panicked for no reason. It seems like something big is about to happen.

As if confirming his conjecture, in the lively singing and dancing, the chief steward bowed down, quietly bypassed those who were drinking and feasting, and walked behind Ning Zhiwen.

Seeing the appearance of the chief steward, Ning Zhiwen immediately chuckled in his heart, who the chief steward was, he knew it clearly, not only was he a martial arts master, but he also followed him I don't know how many major events, but at this time, he obviously saw a panicked look on the face of the chief steward.

"What's going on?" Ning Zhiwen asked in a low voice.

"Sir." The chief steward glanced up at Min Ruoxi on the main seat, and Her Royal Highness the princess didn't seem to notice his arrival, as if she was really concentrating on enjoying the song and dance. "The eldest prince came out, and along with those Qi people, they were all taken away."

With a snap, the wine glass in his hand immediately shattered, and the wine flowed down Ning Zhiwen's palm, the broken porcelain piece was embedded in the palm, and blood splashed out, but Ning Zhiwen didn't notice it.

"Who is it?"

"It's Aunt Ying, the personal companion of Princess Zhaohua, and the eunuch Grandpa Le." The chief steward said in a low voice. "Except for the eldest prince and the ghost leader Xiang Lian, the others were killed, and Zhuangzi was also burned clean."

"Are you sure?" Ning Zhiwen asked.

The chief steward nodded: "At that time, the prince set off a distress signal, and I rushed over, but when I saw that it was Aunt Ying's move, I knew that things were not good, with my cultivation, let alone rescue the eldest prince, I was afraid that I would fall into it, so I ordered the Ning clan who went to the rescue to immediately retreat." ”

Ning Zhiwen took a deep breath: "You did the right thing. Let's go back and deal with the aftermath first, and see if there are still those people who know that the eldest prince has dealings with the Qi people, and let them shut up. ”

"Got it!" As before, the Grand Steward bowed again, and disappeared into the hall like an ordinary old servant.

Ning Zhiwen raised his head and looked at Princess Zhaohua, who was as charming as a flower, and just sighed in his heart, Princess Zhaohua, she really has a powerful means, even Li Zhi can't escape her plot, let alone herself?

Thinking of this, my heart calmed down. Losing to such a powerful woman doesn't seem to be a shameful thing. Li Zhi lost his life at the hands of Princess Zhaohua, but he still had a chance to save his life. Even if you take this opportunity to climb this thick thigh, you may not be able to climb it.

Slowly tear off a strip of cloth from his body and wrap the wound on his hand.

He even raised his glass to pay tribute to Princess Zhaohua from afar, and did not hide the wound on his hand at all.

Princess Zhaohua smiled back.

They are all smart people, and everything is in plain sight.

As the night wore on, the feast had ended. Everyone said goodbye and left, today came to eat a meal of the princess, offered a lot of silver taels, although the heart hurts, but it is also a good fate, can accumulate their family wealth to sit in front of Princess Zhaohua, naturally are knowledgeable. It's worth spending some silver taels to buy an opportunity for the future.

Silver, you can always earn it back.

Ning Zhiwen sat and didn't move, and Hu Yicai didn't move. Hu Yicai did not move, and the officials under him naturally did not move.

"Hu Junshou, you still have important matters to discuss when you stay, but your subordinates, let them go temporarily!" Princess Zhaohua waved her hand with a smile, but her eyes stayed on Ning Zhiwen, she wanted to see what Ning Zhiwen would do next.

In the hall, there were only four people left in an instant, except for Princess Zhaohua's guards, of course.

Ning Zhiwen raised his head and looked at Princess Zhaohua: "Your Highness, I don't know how many ships and sailors Jinghu needs?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yicai couldn't help but be stunned, you know, after he met Princess Zhaohua yesterday, he came back and talked to Ning Zhiwen, at that time, Ning Zhiwen said that money and food are not a problem, but the boat, people will not give it. And at today's banquet, Ning Zhiwen's hemorrhage is also practicing what he said to himself yesterday, how long has it been, why has the tone been completely changed?

He looked thoughtfully at Ning Zhiwen's injured right palm, when the previous two came together, Ning Zhiwen was still fine, and those blood stains were all fresh.

"Great goodness!" Princess Zhaohua stroked her palms and smiled: "Patriarch Ning really understands the righteousness, according to the speculation of the palace, Jinghu now needs at least 100 warships, and 2,000 sailors who are good at fighting, of course, the Quanzhou Sailor will select some elites, and the rest will depend on Ning Gong to make up for it, I don't know if Ning Gong has any different intentions?" ”

"Ning Fengzhao." Ning Zhiwen bowed and said: "How much is the difference, how much Ning makes up." ”

"This is very good, but as far as this palace knows, the generals of the Quanzhou Navy Division are unbearable, so they also need to be led by Ning Gong to send someone who knows the water war well."

"Wu'er Ning Zefeng, but also!" Ning Zhiwen said loudly.

Princess Zhaohua smiled, "Lord Ning? is indeed heroic, but it must be too young, there is another person in the heart of this palace, I don't know if Ning Gong is willing to cut love? ”

Ning Zhiwen suddenly felt in his heart, glanced at Zhou Li, who was standing beside Princess Zhaohua, and just scolded in his heart, this Erwuzai really sold the Ning family cleanly.

However, at this point, he did wronged Zhou Li, and this information was not provided by Zhou Li, but his second son Ning Zhiyuan.

"I wonder who the princess wants?" He said with some bitterness.

"It's Ning Gong's chief steward, Huang Hai! This person used to be famous on the sea, the name of the cunning fox, even if it was my Majesty the Ming Emperor, he also knew about it, and with him leading the army, the palace would be relieved. ”

Ning Zhiwen took a deep breath: "As the princess wishes." ”

Princess Zhaohua looked at Hu Yicai with a smile, "Hu Junshou, do you understand?" ”

"I understand." Although I don't know how Princess Zhaohua got Ning Zhiwen, Hu Yicai is still very happy, after all, he is a courtier of Da Chu, if Da Chu is really finished, how much better will his fate be?

"I hope that when I arrive in Shangjing, I will hear the news that the Quanzhou Navy has arrived in Jinghu." Princess Zhaohua said lightly. "Hu Junshou, this matter has been decided, I think you still have a lot of things to do, so this palace will not keep you."

Looking at Ning Zhiwen, who was sitting there motionless, Hu Yicai immediately understood that these two must have something to talk about, but it was inconvenient for them to let themselves know, although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still stood up immediately, "The minister said goodbye." ”

"Zhou Li, send Hu Junshou for the palace." Princess Zhaohua waved her hand.

By the time the two of them disappeared into the hall, the smile on Min Ruoxi's face had disappeared, she stood up, and said coldly: "Duke Ning, please come with this palace!" ”
