Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 169 Let's Make a Deal
Yan Mu was afraid that the armor on his body would be icy, so he put his mind on the warm table first, and then went behind the screen to remove the armor.

The little girl was able to sit up, and she thumped her little feet happily, but she got carried away with complacency, leaned her little body back, and fell onto the soft pillow.

"Oh, why did you fall down?" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly helped the little girl up, seeing that she was fine, she didn't care.

Yan Mu changed his armor and came back, and hugged his daughter again, but the little girl's mouth was flattened, and tears fell down.

"What's wrong?" Yan Mu asked softly.

In the end, the little girl cried even more urgently, and went straight into Yan Mu's arms, as if she had been wronged a lot.

Yan Mu couldn't help looking at Liu Yunxiang, Liu Yunxiang was also a little dazed, but after thinking about it again, he probably leaned back just now, could it be that he was frightened?

No way, usually a beggar takes her and throws her up casually, and she flies so high that the little girl is not afraid, she is so happy to laugh.

The little girl was like a small meatball, white and tender, her face turned pink when she cried, like a big peach, and the more she coaxed her, the more she cried, until she was so choked up that she couldn't cry.

Yan Mu's heart ached, he hugged him up and twirled around, "Xingyi told Dad, who bullied you?"

The little girl has actually been around for a week or three months, she is a clever ghost, she really understood Yan Mu's words, and pointed at Liu Yunxiang with her little hand.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "How could I bully you?"

The little girl twisted her little nose and hummed at Liu Yunxiang, obviously she had gained confidence and became more courageous.

Liu Yunxiang thought again, and Yue Mo guessed it, "Could it be that you leaned back just now, and I helped you up, but didn't coax you?"

The little girl pressed herself into Yan Mu's arms, staring at Liu Yunxiang with big grape-like watery eyes, "Hmph!"

"Ha, Xingyi, you have grown up." Liu Yunxiang laughed.

Yan Mu lowered his head and lightly touched his daughter's forehead, "My mother is bad, let's ignore her."

"beat!"

Yan Mu coughed dryly, "But dad doesn't dare."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xiao Xingyi, and hummed: "Your father will always leave, and you will always fall into mother's hands."

Xiao Xingyi couldn't shed tears, she didn't expect her father to be so cowardly.

Yan Mu smiled and hugged her daughter to sit on the warm bed, and gave her a cloth tiger to play with.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, seeing the scar on his face, always felt uncomfortable.She got up and went to the dowry, and took out a small white porcelain jar from inside.

"Chongming gave you the scar-removing ointment. He said he gave it to you. If you don't want it, let me give it to you. If you keep applying it for three months, the scar will fade a lot."

She remembered the sour and angry look of Chongming when he gave her the ointment, "He is very stubborn, you blow him the pillow breeze, hey, I want to blow it, but he won't lie on my bed."

Yan Mu looked at the scar removal ointment and snorted coldly: "This scar is life-saving, it's not like you don't know it."

"Then put it away, I hope that one day, you will be strong enough to save your life without this scar."

Yan Mu was silent for a moment, but still said that the box of ointment was put away.

"I have sent people to look for him, but there is no whereabouts of Chongming."

"Ah."

Chong Ming is crazy, even if there are flowers and candles, she can't help worrying.But the fate between people can be deep or shallow, maybe this is the end of her and Chongming's life, she doesn't force it.

"You said to do business with me?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yan Mu nodded and thought for a moment, "But this business depends on whether you dare to do it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I'm not a coward, so tell me."

"I want you to open a Lingyun food store in Yangui City."

"what?"

"As soon as the spring begins, use the grain shop to cover up and store grain here. Store as much as possible. One hundred thousand shi, 20 shi, 30 shi. If you can transport grain, I can swallow it."

Liu Yunxiang quickly settled the accounts. Let's be honest, let alone one hundred thousand shi, it is not easy to transport [-] shi here. After all, this is the northernmost part of Dayong, and it is a long journey from the Central Plains. It is really difficult and unsafe.

"I can give you money and people." Yan Mu said again.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, she knew that Yan Mu was going to do something big, this ration might not only fill his stomach, it could also be used as... army ration!
But as she said, she got on his boat, and if he survived, she and her child would survive. If his boat capsized, her and her child's fate would only be worse.

"I'll do my best." Liu Yunxiang said.

"It's not about trying your best, but you need to save at least one hundred thousand stones."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, looked at Yan Mu, "Okay."

After Yan Mu finished speaking, he felt a little pain in his fingers, and looked down to see his daughter holding his fingers and chewing on them.

Yan Mu smiled, "Xingyi hungry?"

The little girl raised her head, saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth, "Eat."

"But dad doesn't have anything to eat here."

Xingyi Xiaorouqiu looked at Liu Yunxiang, glared at her, and thumped to find her.

"My lady..."

Liu Yunxiang snorted softly, "Now I know I'm looking for a mother, and my mother is still waiting for me!"

Xingyi continued to rush to Liu Yunxiangle, saying something as if to please, and finally made Liu Yunxiang laugh.

"Wait, mother will warm up the goat milk for you."

Yan Mu left without lunch, and said to Liu Yunxiang before leaving: "I will continue to send people to find Tuhunbao, as long as there is a chance, I will not give up looking for your brother."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Well, take care after you go to Shuoxi."

"The same to you."

Watching Yan Mu put on his armor, ride a high horse, and go away with a whip, Liu Yunxiang heaved a long sigh.

The beggar leaned against the gate, "Beijin sent envoys to Shengjing to negotiate. A few days ago, there was news that the two sides formed an alliance and agreed not to go to war for the next ten years."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that good?"

The beggar sighed, "And Da Rong gave Bei Jin 30 gold, 30 silver, 30 cloth, and [-] cattle and sheep."

"..."

The beggar laughed, "You heard me right, we are the ones who gave Bei Jin."

"But obviously we won the battle."

"But the one above the temple, he is timid to fight, and those civil servants, they have a broad mind, and they think it is worthwhile to give these things to ensure that there will be no war for ten years."

Liu Yunxiang suddenly understood why Yan Mu asked her to save food, "The imperial court is so weak, and they think that taking a step back will lead to a brighter future, but it will only make Bei Jin feel that Da Rong is easy to bully."

"Beijin also asked the imperial court to let Yan Mu lead troops to guard Shuoxi, deter Xiyue, and even cooperate with Beijin to annihilate Xiyue."

"As soon as Xiyue is subjugated, Beijin has no worries, and is afraid that it will retaliate against Dayong when it turns around."

"Yan Mu thinks so too."

"But I don't understand. As a woman, I can think of it. There are so many wise men in the court, so why don't they understand?"

The beggar sighed, "There are serious partisan disputes in the imperial court, and the emperor is afraid of Yan Mu. The monarchs and ministers are not in agreement, and each of them is not blind but blind. Little abacus."

After a night of deliberation, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go back to Shengjing to discuss with Zhang Qi the next day. He started to make preparations this winter and ensured that the food would be delivered in the first spring of next year.

Half of the Northland is in winter, so there is not much time for them to transport food, and they have to spread out, so as not to attract some people's attention.

After the new year, it gets warmer day by day, and Yan Mu has already sent Jiang Yuan back to Shengjing to help Zhang Qi and the others.But Liu Yunxiang did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more worried.

The capacity of the Lingyun Grain Shop is limited. Even if there is sufficient money and manpower, it cannot raise so much grain.

This day when she went to the street with beggars, seeing that there were more beggars on the street, she couldn't help wondering: "Seeing that spring is about to begin, these people don't plow the land, don't they grow food?"

The beggar sighed and said, "The vast expanse of wasteland outside the city is not because the people don't plant it, but because the place is too dry and depends on the sky for food, and the seedlings all die in the ground, which is not suitable for farming at all. Digging herbs and hunting and selling furs make a living, but this kind of livelihood is too unstable, and when there is not enough to eat, they will become beggars."

Liu Yunxiang changed his mind, "I have a good idea."
