After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 314 A Big Deal
Just at the darkest hour before dawn, a neat column of cavalry walked on the Suzaku Avenue in Yujing City.

To be precise, these are two teams.

One wore black armor on the left, and the other wore silver armor on the right.

Those wearing black armor are naturally the Xuanjia camp, while those wearing silver armor are the guards brought by the second prince Ning Zhixing.

Li Chenan didn't know how to ride a horse, so he rode in the carriage driven by Wang Zheng Jinzhong.

He meaningfully invited the second prince to ride with him.

At this moment, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the mixed yellow light outside, "Originally, I planned to create momentum for His Highness, that is, to invite the theater troupe to march in front with gongs and drums."

"Originally, I planned to make a few banners, with His Royal Highness Prince De's personal conquest, and let those people hold them up, so that the people in Kyoto can see them."

"In this way, on the one hand, His Highness's reputation can be publicized, and on the other hand... the people in the capital can also know His Highness's bravery."

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chenan, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Then why did you give up?"

Li Chenan put down the car curtain, and also looked at Ning Zhixing, "Because... I suddenly feel that this is unnecessary."

"What do you mean?"

Li Chenan smiled slightly, "What a waste of money!"

Ning Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said we are sitting so close now, what if I kill you at this time?"

"You're not that stupid. Since I dare to invite you to ride with me, I won't worry about what you'll do to me."

"My people are much more powerful than yours, and they are loyal to me. Even if they kill me, you have to be buried with me."

"This deal is not worth it. After all, you are the serious second prince. Maybe in the future it is really possible to inherit the throne."

"and I……"

Li Chenan was interrupted by Ning Zhixing before he finished speaking.

He leaned over, looked at Li Chenan and said very seriously: "It is said that your favorite thing is doing business?"

"Yes."

"The king sincerely wants to do a business with you that you can make a profit without losing money, are you willing?"

Li Chenan grinned:
"Your Highness is indeed a smart person. I invited His Highness to ride with you just to see if His Highness has the intention to make a deal. Come and hear."

Ning Zhixing remained silent for a long time, because this matter was too important, and because he still couldn't understand whether Li Chenan was worthy of his trust or not.

"I sure can't promise you anything,"

Of course Li Chen'an knew the hesitation in Ning Zhixing's heart, if he didn't get the letter from last night, he wouldn't bother to say anything to Ning Zhixing.

But now because of that letter, he has changed his mind.

He smiled and said again: "If I had to choose, I would still choose your royal brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...Because he becomes the emperor, I will be safer."

"Since we want to do business, everyone has to show some sincerity. To tell you the truth, I don't care how well prepared you are, you will definitely die in Shuangjiao Mountain!"

Ning Zhixing frowned: "Why are you so sure?"

Li Chenan took out a bottle from his sleeve pocket: "Misty."

He took out another small jar from his sleeve pocket: "Fireworks!"

"Blur plus fireworks, how many people do you think can be killed?"

Ning Zhixing was shocked, and saw Li Chenan suddenly unbutton his clothes, revealing the silver armor inside.

"This thing's ordinary sword and arrow can't hurt me, even if it's the arrow of Beibei Zuoqiu Buming... Even if he is a half-step grand master, if he shoots me from a hundred steps away, he may not be able to kill me Life!"

"But it's not too difficult for me to take His Highness's life!"

After that, Ning Zhixing took a deep breath, "It seems that you know a lot."

"After all, I am the vice-president of the Imperial City Division."

"Okay, then let's talk about this business!"

"Please speak, Your Highness."

Ning Zhixing pondered for three breaths: "This king's mother and concubine have been to Changle Palace."

"That's a city!"

"There are many people in the city!"

"They're all soldiers!"

"It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

"It takes a lot of food to raise so many soldiers!"

"The water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake... are not water bandits, but... the soldiers raised by the emperor there!"

Li Chenan was startled, "You mean..."

"That's right, they robbed Jiangnan's taxes and grains last year, and they didn't store them on Shuangjiao Island. Instead, they took the Qishan Corridor and transported them to Changle Palace!"

Li Chen'an pondered for three breaths, "This news is indeed astonishing, but why do you need to do something that can be solved by the emperor's decree?"

Ning Zhixing didn't answer, but there was a look of fear on his face.

"The reason why this king agrees to go with you to suppress the bandits is because he wants to see for himself whether it is true."

"If it's true, the next thing is our business!"

"I need you to help me. Although Brother Huang is the crown prince, he can't do this big thing!"

Li Chenan stared at Ning Zhixing, from Ning Zhixing's expression he couldn't see any false appearance.

"Are you going to rebel?"

"If there is no rebellion, the 300-year history of Ningguo will be over."

"Ji Tai told you?"

"No, he doesn't know at all."

"He wholeheartedly wants to support this king, so a few years ago he secretly recruited many people to put them in Shuangjiao Lake. His purpose was also to hijack Jiangnan's taxes and food, because fighting for food and grass is very important."

"But he didn't know that the people he recruited were all [-] elite soldiers deliberately released by the emperor!"

"So a few days ago, Shilipo's taxes and grains were robbed, and there were as many as 500 people escorting the taxes and grains, but they were no match for the bandits at all!"

"These bandits now have a leader, his name is Xia Yunhu!"

Li Chenan was shocked again, Changsun Jinghong suspected that Xia Yunhu was in Changle Palace, but Ning Zhiyi said that Xia Yunhu was in Shuangjiao Lake.

"The grain that was looted this time was all hidden in a cave. There was an underground river in that cave connected to Shuangjiao Lake. Now, the underground river from Shuangjiao Island to that underground river has been connected together by boats. The grain It is being transported to Shuangjiao Island... I am afraid it is also being transported to Changle Palace through the Qishan Corridor!"

Until now, Li Chen'an believed that Ning Zhixing did have great sincerity.

"I still don't understand why he would do that!"

"...I thought Changsun Jinghong would tell you what happened in Jingtai in 34 years."

Li Chenan already knew something from the letter last night, but he still asked a question to prove the authenticity of the letter:

"what's up?"

"The emperor's grandpa made a big move, the imperial edict was changed, and the Imperial City Secretary was set on fire... This king is not too clear about these things, but the eldest grandson Jinghong must know!"

"That's why Empress Lu made every effort to rebuild the Imperial City Department, and only then insisted that Changsun Jinghong be in charge of the Imperial City Department."

Li Chen'an thought about it carefully, and asked again: "Even if this is true, more than 20 years have passed since the incident, and he is already firmly established, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"The king doesn't know either, but the concubine mother said... She said there must be something hidden behind this, but she asked the emperor several times, but she couldn't get the answer."

Li Chenan frowned, from this point of view, some of Wen Zhuyu's inferences in that letter were correct.

But it's just an inference, and it can't really explain the emperor's still confused behavior.

What the hell, is it true that cultivating the Tao has damaged the brain?

Ning Zhixing looked at Li Chenan's pensive look, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to do this business or not?"
