Chapter 740 Squeeze Dry

  The minister of household affairs walked over embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Wu, the subordinate officer has an errand to collect silk horses from various houses."

   Mrs. Wu said indifferently: "If I were Lord Wu, I would rather have a fight with the people of Jin rather than come to ask for something in such a lowly manner."

   Wu Shilang lowered his head, "Madam, the next one is also the main battle."

   Mrs. Wu sneered, "The main battle? Then why don't you say this in the courtroom?"

   "You people just see that the emperor doesn't want to fight, so you either choose to keep silent or cater to the emperor."

   Wu Shilang bowed his head and smiled bitterly.

   As an official in the dynasty, how could he not care about the emperor's thoughts? Not everyone has the identity and confidence of a grandfather!

   Mrs. Wu waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you."

   "You all just remember that you will always be the sinners of Da Chu!"

   Wu Shilang's face twitched, but he didn't dare to refute Mrs. Wu.

   Then Madam Wu nodded to Gu Yunjiao, Gu Yunjiao instructed A Yun, "Bring out all the horses of the personal soldiers and hand them over to Master Wu."

   Then he instructed Steward Lin, "Go open the warehouse, and move out all the silks and silks in it."

   "Also, a few carriages in the house, and the horses that pull the carriages are also taken away by them."

   After Wu Shilang left, Mrs. Wu was very worried, "Master Guo left a letter saying that he was going to assassinate Wanyan Zhang and ran away. There is no news at the moment, I don't know-" What about life and death?

   Gu Yunjiao comforted: "Don't worry, mother, the grandfather of the country is strong in martial arts, even if he can't be assassinated, it shouldn't be difficult to get out of the body."

   "It may just be difficult to return to the city for a while."

   Mrs. Wu shook her head and said nothing, but still frowned.

Half a month later, the imperial court emptied the national treasury and the internal treasury, and together with the loot from the people, a total of 600,000 taels of gold, 9 million taels of silver, more than 200,000 silk and silk, and 10,000 mules were raised. .

  The horses and mules were not gathered together, and the horses of the soldiers and horses division and the inspection division were requisitioned.

   Early this morning, the Minister of the Household and several servants of the Household, with the emperor's edict of ceding the three towns with a jade seal in his arms, went out of the city.

The    team came to the city gate, but suddenly stopped.

  The minister of households was sitting in the sedan chair. When he saw the team suddenly stop, he asked, "What happened ahead? Is the city gate still open?"

   A voice suddenly came to mind outside, "Xu Shangshu, get out of this palace!"

   Xu Shangshu was startled, and he heard the servant outside say, "Sir, it was the eldest princess who stopped in front."

  Xu Shangshu reluctantly opened the car curtain and got off the car.

   He saw the eldest princess riding on a horse in the distance, majestic and majestic, as if he was panicking, and quickly trotted over.

   The eldest princess stared at Xu Shangshu condescendingly.

  Xu Shangshu hurriedly squeezed out a dry smile, "This is the eldest princess?"

   The eldest princess said coldly, "Bring the edict and map!"

   Xu Shangshu opened his mouth wide, "This, what does the eldest princess do with this?"

   The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, "Bring it, or I'll grab it myself."

  Xu Shangshu sighed and instructed the servant in a low voice, the servant quickly moved the sedan chair and brought a baggage.

   The maid of the eldest princess took it, opened it, looked at it, and nodded to her.

   The eldest princess snorted, turned her horse's head, and left with a whip.

  Xu Shangshu was stunned by the roadside for a while, and then he said, "Let's go."

  The chariots and horses went out of the city, and the soldiers on the city wall were standing by.

The    convoy soon arrived at the Jin State military camp a few miles away from the city.
