Chapter 218 There Must Be a Conspiracy
Therefore, Chu Yan still has great confidence in the generals on the western desert border.

Now there is only Nanyue in the south.Although they haven't fought against each other for decades, they can't help but be on guard.

As a result, the troops on Dongshang's side became a little nervous.

Chu Yan thought for a while, and first transferred 20 troops from several prefectures in the north to resist Beihan.Tang Hegui served as the general of the hussars.

The 15 troops in the west did not move.

Then [-] troops and horses were dispatched from several prefectures in the south to guard the border of South Vietnam to prevent them from raiding.

In addition, the nearby soldiers and horses must also be ready to participate in the battle at any time.

In this way, not only the army and horses are tense, but also the military expenditure is also tense.Before, when Taishi Chen came to power, the national treasury was almost exhausted by him.

Now, there are only 30 taels of silver left in the treasury.According to the current situation, this silver tael is far from enough.

Chu Yan walked back and forth in the imperial study, wondering where to get so much silver.

After thinking for a long time, I didn't think of any good way, so I could only take out the money in my private treasury first.But, I don't have much money in my private treasury, what should I do if I have other uses in the future?
But now he can't think of any good way.

Besides, there was no time for him to think of a way slowly.The enemy's soldiers and horses have already arrived at the door of the house. If they don't act quickly, the people on the border will suffer.

Thinking of the people on the border, Chu Yan didn't dare to delay any longer.

Directly ask Jing Xuan to go to Xiao Congran and pay 30 silver from him first.Think of other ways.

Jiang Wan, who has been guarding Renming Palace recently, is always watching Geng Yifeng's every move.

However, it has been almost a month.That guy was still killing chickens in that roast chicken shop in peace, without any sign of wanting to leave.

This made Jiang Wan very puzzled, did he really not plan to go back to West Desert?

No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

After much deliberation, Jiang Wan decided to tell Chu Yan about it.Jiang Wan always felt uneasy about leaving such a time bomb in the capital.

When Chu Yan heard the news, he laughed happily.

He is worried that he can't find a way to break this situation!He didn't expect Wan'er to send him such great news.

Jiang Wan didn't know what he was laughing at, but it was probably a good thing.He didn't ask any more questions, and after handing over the matter of monitoring Geng Yifeng to Chu Yan, he withdrew his people back.

On this day, Geng Yifeng finished killing the day's chicken queen.

After washing up, he was about to go to bed when a long sword was pressed against his neck.He was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

Thinking that his identity had been exposed, Ximo sent someone to assassinate him again.

He was just about to say that he had given up his identity, and that it would be good to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that before he could speak, the other party clicked his sleeping hole.

When he woke up again, he found himself tied up in a room covered with black cloth all around.He couldn't even tell the difference between day and night.

Just when Geng Yifeng was guessing who the other party was, the door of the room opened.

Several men in black came out from inside, and they surrounded him.

Then, he saw a man with a grimace mask coming to him and said, "Hello! The eighth prince of Ximo, Geng Yifeng."

Geng Yifeng didn't expect that the other party would point out his identity directly, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Your Excellency has misidentified the person, I am the Dong merchant."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it! Since I have found you, I have evidence."

As he said that, the grimacing man in black took out a note with Ximo characters written on it from his arms, put it in front of Geng Yifeng and said, "Do you still want to deny it?"

Geng Yifeng's heart tightened, but he still didn't speak.

"Tell me! What is your purpose in hiding your identity in the capital?" the ghost-faced man in black asked coldly.

Afraid that the other party might misunderstand, Geng Yifeng explained to him: "I have no purpose, I just want to be an ordinary person. I don't even think about going back to West Desert."

What Geng Yifeng said surprised Chu Yan who was sitting opposite him.

This person came all the way here just to be an ordinary person.Why is he so unbelievable!There must be a conspiracy.

So, Chu Yan pointed at Geng Yifeng with his sword and said, "Don't toast and eat fine wine."

"No, I really don't want to go back to Ximo. Although I am the eighth prince of Ximo, I am not favored. I have been bullied by other brothers since I was a child, and my father never asked me.

Even when he came to Dongshang this time, he was assassinated many times.

Last time, all the guards around me died.He was also seriously injured, and lost the jade pendant that represented his identity.

So, I thought about it.Now that the jade pendant is lost, I'll just be an ordinary person.

However, I have no silver on me, and I owe a young hero 200 taels of silver.In order to pay off my debts and support myself, I stayed in the capital to kill chickens. "Geng Yifeng explained.

Chu Yan knew about the money owed.

Jiang Wan told him about this.Even the IOU is still on him!

Chu Yan looked at him, then put away the long sword.He took out the IOU from his pocket and put it in front of him, saying, "You wrote the IOU at this time! Pay it back!"

When Geng Yifeng saw the IOU, he quickly stood up from the ground and said, "Young Xia, is that you?"

Chu Yan held his long sword against him, forbidding him to come any closer.After he retreated to a safe distance, Chu Yan said: "Don't try to get close, pay back the money quickly."

Geng Yifeng thought that Chu Yan was Jiang Wan, and he said enthusiastically, "Young man, I'm sorry! I don't have any money to pay you back now.

However, I have money saved.I have saved more than 80 taels now, and I can pay you back in two months. "

"Where's the silver?" Chu Yan stretched out his hand and said.

Forehead. . .

Now Geng Yifeng was dumbfounded, he said two and then pay back!Where can I pay back the money.

Chu Yan knew that he had no money to pay back, so he just waited for him to take the bait!

"There is no money, so what do you pay for it?"

"Young hero, me!"

"Don't you, mine. If you don't have money, sign the contract of sale." As he said, Chu Yan took out another contract of sale and put it in front of Geng Yifeng.

How could Geng Yifeng agree to sell himself, he took two steps back and said: "I will pay back the money, and I will not sign the contract of selling myself."

It's a pity that he was stopped by the people behind before taking two steps back, and escorted him back.

Chu Yan leaned forward a little and said, "This is beyond your control." After speaking, he made a movement for the people around him.

Then, I saw those men in black holding Geng Yifeng and pressing their fingerprints on the contract of sale.

Geng Yi's eyes widened in anger and said: "I thought you were an honest gentleman, but you are a despicable and shameless villain who takes advantage of others' danger."

Chu Yan impatiently picked out his ears and said, "Have I ever said that I am a gentleman? Besides, it is only right and proper to pay off debts."

Now Geng Yifeng has nothing to say, it is true that he borrowed money from others, and now he can't pay it back.

But thinking of the sell-off contract, Geng Yifeng became angry again.

I didn't say that I wouldn't pay back the money, but at worst, I'll just pay back more in the future.Why did he ask himself to sign a deed of sale, and how to behave himself after that.
