Prime Minister take care

Chapter 113 Material resources are difficult
Chudu, Yingcheng.

The moonlight fell on the snow in front of the hall, and the windows were bright and clean.The furnishings in the quiet house are extremely simple, yet still stylish.If he didn't say it, no one would associate it with the current Chu Hou.

Cai Tong, the Marquis of Chu, was wary all his life. Although he called himself a Marquis, he did not dare to build a palace. He always lived in the former Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Cai Tong was dressed in commoner clothes and had a gray beard. The skin on his face was wrinkled but not dull.He was lying on the warm couch, watching the full moon sinking in the sky, cracking his knuckles in his hands.

"So, as soon as Yang Xian returned to Shu from Liangzhou, he started to rectify military affairs and train soldiers and horses?"

"Yes."

Half-kneeling in front of Cai Tong was a demon. Although he was covered in black robes, the traces of beasts on his face were clearly visible.

"It's such a good idea. I went to Liangzhou, got three foreign aids, and got an elite army. You are worthy of being a descendant of Yang You'an!" Cai Tong sighed longly, praising on his lips, but gloating on his face. The expression on his face said, "I think that guy Huan Wu must be itching his teeth with hatred now."

"Master Marquis, the soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom have been making unusual moves on the border of the Chu Kingdom recently. You must be on guard!"

"What do you mean?"

"Yang Ci was arrogant back then, and Yang Xian was even more youthful and energetic. Yang Xian holds Shu Wang Xia Gong Nie in his hand, which is the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he makes any move against Chu, the Marquis will be very passive!"

Cai Tong smiled, his eyes widened, invisible energy gathered in the air, and he rushed straight towards the monster.

The demon wanted to dodge, but couldn't get away. He was knocked away about ten steps by the force and hit the wooden door, causing the wood to break into pieces before he stopped.

The black robe flew up, revealing a lion's face inside, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Shi Meng, do you think everyone else is a fool? You are so old, but you are so stupid. If you want to sow discord, you should learn more!"

"Don't dare to go down."

Shi Meng stood up in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and faced the darkness.

"You and I have a cooperative relationship. However, your little moves are too many. Your brother Shi Wei has been hiding in Southwest County since he started the Jisun Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, and The local barbarians were all together. In the fourth year of Yonghe, he died at the hands of Yang Xian. In the fifth year of Yonghe, a demon clan camp in the Beishan Mountains of Liangzhou was destroyed, and all the demons among them died. You demon clan have worked so hard The trade route we were operating was destroyed, and it has something to do with Yang Xian. You want to borrow a knife to kill someone, but you also need to see if the knife is willing?"

Shi Meng knelt on the cold ground, sweat dripping down his back. He did not expect that Cai Tong actually knew the secrets of their demon clan.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Meng just thought of a perfunctory reason.

"Master Hou, us"

Who would have thought that as soon as Shi Meng opened his mouth, Cai Tong shouted back.

"I have no interest in knowing those bad things about your Monster Clan. You have to know that we are in a cooperative relationship. Since it is cooperation, it is mutual benefit. If you want to deal with Yang Xian, you can do it. However, that is your Monster Clan. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Cai Tong looked at Shi Meng with no emotion in his eyes and a playful look on his lips.

Shi Meng raised his head, Cai Tong's expression made him very unhappy.That contemptuous expression, as if he was just a puppet for Cai Tong to play with.

What made Shi Meng not angry the most was that he knew this was a fact.He is a puppet in Cai Tong's hands.Over the years, Cai Tong has done so many dirty things, but he has never been involved in it.The old fox in front of me was ruthless and cruel.He has cooperated with the demon clan for many years, but not a single clue fell into Shi Meng's hands.

In other words, if Cai Tong is willing, after leaving this door, his Shi Meng will be just a demon clan bastard and has nothing to do with Cai Tong.

"Understood!"

Shi Meng was about to go out, but he heard Cai Tong say from behind: "The door is broken, you have to pay for it!"

Shi Meng shook his body, took a breath, and finally replied.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will send you the money to repair the door tomorrow."

As soon as Shi Meng's figure left, a dark shadow appeared in front of Cai Tong, very respectfully.

"What is the reason for the sudden movement of the Shu army at the border?"

"The movements of the Shu army are unknown, and I am not aware of Yang Xian's intentions for the time being. However, Yang Xian just made a move in Liangzhou, but he doesn't have the energy to cause trouble in my country of Chu!"

"Don't underestimate this kid. He killed the Demon Emperor and occupied the Demon City, but gave it to Zhu Zi. Obviously it was Zhu Zi who took advantage, but secretly he led Liang Jun to the trouble, forcing Zhu Wuxiao to have to Alliance with him. But even so, the people and soldiers of Liangzhou are still grateful to him. Yang Xian’s purpose is not simple, so keep an eye on him."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" The black figure paused and continued, "Shi Meng, that monster has ulterior motives. The monster clan has plans all over the place, and its ambitions are obvious. Lord Marquis has to guard against it!"

"The sky is falling and there is a tall man supporting it. The Yaoyu is far away in the far west. If there is any movement, there will be Huan Wu standing in front of it. It's not my turn to worry about it." Cai Tong sneered, brushed his beard, and turned around. And asked, "Have those sea tribes disappeared recently?"

"Since the monks from the Sea Palace went to the border, those sea people have restrained themselves a lot."

"But the money is not cheap!"

Cai Tong sighed leisurely, with a look of regret on his face.

Neptune Palace is a large sect, and its disciples are good at the art of driving water.The alien creatures in the sea often harassed the coastline of Chu State. Cai Tong had no choice but to pay the monks from the Sea Palace to drive away these sea tribes.

The effect was good, but it also cost a lot of money, which made him feel a little painful.

"In the final analysis, it's because of that guy Huan Wu. Our own navy was dragged at the border, which is why these aliens in the sea are so rampant."

"Master Marquis, there is one more thing. The weather has been cold this year, and our country's harvest is not ideal. Qingshui County and several surrounding places are suffering from food shortages, and some people have begun to make trouble."

"They must be the descendants of Fan Qing's old troops again!" A look of disgust appeared on Cai Tong's face, "In the past 30 years, the world has been in chaos. I have worked hard and worked hard all night for the sake of the peace of Chu. I am Hou Siji often takes no more than eight sets of food, and he is not satisfied with the food. He often thinks about the lack of material resources. But since those people cannot understand the difficulties of the country, let them die!"

"I understand!"

The black shadow disappeared without a trace, and only Cai Tong's sarcastic voice echoed in the empty room.

"Yang You'an, you treated me like a fly, but so what? More than 30 years later, I have become a prince of a country, but you have long been buried in the loess. Presumably the tomb in Guanzhong is already covered with weeds! "
