Xiao Ran and Gu Changan had been with the guards for many years and were very confident in their strength, so they agreed to this request that they considered a sure win without hesitation.

That's fine. You don't have to rack your brains to think of ways to get your daughter to give up. She will give up on her own.

Xiao Ran stretched out a hand: "A gentleman's words."

Xiaoxiao still had a serious expression on her childish face: "Hurry up and whip the horse."

When they first heard this request, the guards felt it was ridiculous, but looking at the cute and lovable young lady, they all took the initiative to play with her without saying a word. It's normal for children to be a little playful when they are still young. After all, the lady was worried about the general a few days ago. Now she can finally relax. It makes sense to relax.

They decided to hide their strength later and pretend they couldn't find the lady to make her happy.

But an hour later, the guards discovered that they really couldn't find anyone - but how could this be possible?

Even if they left the battlefield, their skills were not lost. At least the movement within three feet could not escape their ears. They could be sure that the young lady had not moved more than one foot since she hid behind the first tree. distance.

Several people gathered around the bushes around the tree in confusion: "It sounds like it should be here."

Another person scratched his head: "I also thought that my kung fu has declined. Third brother, you think so too, so I should be right."

The third person tried to explore the grass, with doubts on his face: "But what about people?"

Several people looked at each other and wondered: "Miss, is she lost in the mountains?"

Thinking of this possibility, several people hurriedly took out the signal fireworks from their arms and prepared to deal with it as an emergency.

Xiaoxiao, who was watching all this from space, quickly stepped out: "Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm here, on the top of my own mountain, how could I get lost."

The guards were stunned. They ran around where she was and circled several times in disbelief.

No, they were here just now and there was no one there. When did the lady come here?

Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Am I great?"

Not only was it awesome, it was simply too awesome. They went around it several times and asked, "How did you do it?"

How can Xiaoxiao say this? She raised her chin and said mysteriously: "The secret must not be revealed. Just tell who wins. I can accept two wins out of three."

Everyone: ...It's just...it's hard to refuse.

When they returned to the Ning family courtyard one after another, Gu Changan's expression changed from relaxed to sad. Xiao Ran was also puzzled. She endured it again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "You guys Is the water released?"

The guards grimaced: "It's just that we lost without letting go. That's why I feel even more embarrassed."

Xiao Ran was in a daze: "My daughter is so powerful?" If her leg hadn't been injured, she would have wanted to investigate it herself.

After thinking for a night, Xiao Ran decided to keep his promise: "How do you plan to go? With the military doctor arranged by the court?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head: "Doctor Gongsun is impatient with the court's tricks, so we have to go with Li Muyan."

The Li family's caravan is strong and experienced, and may move faster than the imperial court.

Moreover, their vehicles are light and simple, and their goods are not heavy and do not take up much space. Even if they encounter a robbery, they will not look down upon the sacks filled with dried vegetables.

To sum up, following the Li family is fast and safe.

Xiaoxiao felt that her parents were really role models among all parents. They did not take their promise seriously just because she was young, and they actually agreed to let her go to the border that night.

However, there is a small additional requirement...

Naturally, the news that Xiao Ran needed to treat her leg injury could not be hidden from the emperor. The emperor was very pleased to learn that someone might be able to stop her from being tortured by foreign objects in her flesh and blood. She felt like she was being strangled by a knife every day. There was no reason to deny the truth. Besides, Recently, he has been thinking about border food issues.

The gang of profiteers in the capital had been fattened up and emboldened, and they were very skilled at raising prices and hiding food secretly. The emperor decided to deal with them severely in his spare time.

"This Li family is the former imperial merchant?"

Looking at the wealthy businessmen in the capital, the price offered by the Li family is still reasonable.

Grandpa De had a very good memory, and he could remember all the stories the Li family said to the emperor without even looking through them. Since most of them were good deeds, the emperor memorized them.

When he went to court the next day, the emperor set out to collect grain, looking for a willing minister to volunteer to take over the task. This immediately led to a fierce dispute between the civil and military officials of the court. Since then, General Xiong has set off with the first batch of supplies. At the border, the remaining officials began to push each other and push each other. They usually reduced their opponents to nothing, but now they boasted about them.

One said that Mr. Wang had a high reputation and would be able to persuade wealthy businessmen to donate grain. The other said that Mr. Li was very capable and would surely persuade grain merchants to lower their prices. Anyway, after all, he was just a waste of free time, unable to do anything.

There are also some people who can't find anyone to praise them, so they angrily curse profiteers for being shameless, holding them back at important moments, and simply don't know what to say! But after scolding for a long time, he still didn't understand how to get enough food to send to the border.

The emperor looked at all this indifferently, and his heart was full of irony - this is the current court of Daxia.

It's no wonder that someone like Lu Chenzhiliu, who is obviously very talented, would rather go to a remote place to teach. If he wasn't the emperor, he wouldn't bother to look at these clowns, no, old clowns.

After listening to the nonsense coming and going for a long time, the emperor wanted to yawn. At this moment, some stupid official asked nonsense: "How about we buy the grain at a high price first and close the border?" After the matter is settled, let’s consider how to deal with those profiteers?”

The emperor just wanted to sneer - if there was still money in the treasury, would he listen to so much nonsense in the morning?

His eyes drifted and he spotted the prince standing neatly in the crowd. He asked, "What do you think of the prince?"

The prince paused slightly, and then respectfully stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I think that we can give the grain on credit, or in exchange for tax exemptions, let the grain merchants give up part of the grain to satisfy the border customs."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Although this method was feasible, he felt unhappy.

Besides, don't think he doesn't know that most of those businessmen are related to the Yan family.

The reason why he allowed the bunch of losers in the court to curse was because he wanted the prince to listen. However, he listened, but he had no intention of letting the Yan family give in.

The Yan family, what a Yan family.

When he looked at the prince again, the emperor's eyes became cold. He tilted his head slightly, and Eunuch De knew it and shook off the Buddha dust in his hand. After seeing his action, an emergency call came from outside the palace -

"Your Majesty, General Xiao ordered people to send back 100,000 shi of food, and there are more on the way..."
