The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 59 60 Negotiation
On July [-]th, this was the second time Su Xueqing left the palace.
It was the first time Su Xueqing met the leader of the "Raging Flame Army" entrusted by the queen mother, that the other party was so young and handsome.
The place where they met was a little-known hidden restaurant in Xijing. In addition to the leader of the Raging Flame Army, the commander of the Three Thousand Intelligence Group also came.Su Xueqing took Ye Ran and went forward to greet them devoutly without dignity.
Although the leading man was only dressed in a simple gray robe, he couldn't conceal his innate upright and handsome aura in his gestures.He has a dignified body and a dignified appearance.When a pair of black eyes looked at Su Xueqing, they were like cold stars.The next second, Su Xueqing slid over him, only to see that he had a broad chest, as if he was invincible.And the other man in the blue shirt behind him is like a star at night, his skin is as white as frost, and his facial features are even more dazzling. Ruddy like rouge.The brown eyes were illuminated by the bright sun, and they were shining with a light golden light, as if they were stained with morning dew, they were so beautiful in an instant.
The two men are really top-notch, they are dragons and phoenixes among them!
While Su Xueqing admired secretly from the bottom of her heart, she looked towards Yeran.At this time, Ye Ran also gave her a very satisfied glance back, and retreated behind her calmly.
"Subordinate Dong Lingao, see your empress!"
"Subordinate Beifengtang, see your empress!"
"Please stand up, both of you." Seeing the two of them coming, Su Xueqing stepped forward to salute herself, and immediately stepped forward to stop them a little flattered.
Dong Lingao and Bei Fengtang exchanged winks, then raised their heads and looked at Su Xueqing carefully.
Su Xueqing smiled slightly, and said with a kind smile: "You two, if I leave the palace, I will not be a queen. From now on, everyone can call me by my name."
"Don't dare!"
The two were a little surprised at Su Xueqing's generosity, and they answered in unison.
Su Xueqing and Ye Ran opened the wooden table, and the four of them each occupied a corner. She looked at the slightly defensive eyes of the other two, and said with a smile: "Both of you are gentlemen, so don't be too modest. If you think It's really wrong to call me by my name, how about calling me Madam?"
Listening to Su Xueqing's words, Dong Lingao and Bei Fengtang were stunned for a moment, and finally they could only give up and said: "Your Majesty, no, madam's orders."
"Well, that's good, that's good. By the way, I forgot to introduce someone to you now. This one is now my bodyguard. Although he is not in the palace to protect me, he will follow me at any time if he sends my order. Protect me by my side. However, he also has another identity, that is, the leader of Qilin Sixteen Riders—Yeran!"
Su Xueqing had just finished the introduction, but Dong Lingao and Bei Fengtang showed appreciation and admiration in their eyes at the same time.The two of them couldn't help sweeping towards Yeran, but seeing that resolute and unyielding handsome face and that extraordinary demeanor, they couldn't help but get a little excited.
"It turns out that the group of dark cavalry who followed General Su—the Qilin Sixteen Soldiers, really exist! You are the legendary General Yeran who is invincible and invincible, and can scare the enemy wherever you go?" Dong Dong Ling Ao looked at him intently, his eyes were full of fanaticism and unthinkable.
However, Beifengtang also stood up, his handsome eyes narrowed into a line, and he said with a hint of admiration: "Could it be said that the Qilin Sixteen Scholars really exist, not legends? Dead people who have disappeared for almost ten years Sergeant, have you been resurrected again?"
Ye Ran, who was so enthralled by the two, couldn't sit still slightly, and quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said with a blushing smile: "It's ashamed to say. The Qilin Sixteenth Soldier can only rely on the might of General Su , if he hadn't brought us into battle to kill the enemy, we would be nothing more than a group of rough men in the mountains, a rabble who can't become a great weapon."
"No, no, we have heard about the iron and blood legend of Qilin sixteen soldiers. I have always yearned for it. To be a man, he should take the world as his own responsibility, he should go to war and kill the enemy, and he should be as vigorous as General Ye. alive." For Beifengtang, who is weak and can only advise from the rear, it is his lifelong dream to go to battle and kill the enemy, defend his family and the country.It's a pity, because of falling into the water when he was a child, he fell ill, his body was cold, and he was afraid of cold, not to mention martial arts, even a little extreme exercise made him unable to support.
"General Yeran, it's an honor to meet you. I, Dong Lingao, if I can make friends with a hero like you in this life, I will be lucky in my life!"
"You two, it's too much. I'm just an ordinary person, not as brave as the two said. It's a great honor for Ye Mou to get to know you two..."
"Hey, General Ye, your words are too humble."
"Yeah, it's really flattering you."
Listening to the three people's endless compliments, Su Xueqing suddenly felt that she had been left out of the matter. If her fat and broad body was regarded as completely transparent, she would ignore it...
When the three of them came to their senses, Su Xueqing almost fell asleep lying on the table.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to neglect your Majesty on purpose, but because I felt like old friends at first sight with Brother Yeran, that's why I..."
"Well, don't apologize to me. Also, I told you I'm not a concubine. You can do whatever you want, I don't mind." It can be seen that the enthusiasm of the ancients, just met, now they are called brothers, she Su Xueqing still has What can I say?Forget it, from now on, they will be my subordinates, so there is nothing wrong with letting them establish a good relationship.
"Your Majesty, you are really generous." Beifengtang also approached enthusiastically and echoed.
"It's madam..." Su Xueqing couldn't help correcting again.
"Yes, yes...Madam..."
"Well, let's talk about business first. You guys have to talk about it later, and then find a place. Anyway, I have to go back to the palace, and time is running out!" It's not that she didn't give these men a chance to make a blood alliance and ask for help, but Although she can leave the palace at any time, she must grasp the timing carefully so as not to fall into the trap.
Speaking of business, the three people who had just complimented each other beamingly became quiet in an instant, staring at Su Xueqing intently, waiting for her to issue orders.
Although she was not in the spotlight, Su Xueqing still felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by three handsome men.At that moment, he stood up with a fake cough, pointed his hand slightly at Dong Ling and said proudly: "Are you the leader of the Flame Legion?"
Dong Ling's proud black pupils rolled around, and he nodded slightly.Then, he shook his head and said, "No, the future leader is you, Madam!"
This sentence was said very humbly, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Su Xueqing nodded lightly, then turned her gaze to Beifengtang: "Are you the command history of the Three Thousand Intelligence Army?"
Beifengtang nodded indifferently but respectfully: "Yes, ma'am!"
Su Xueqing looked at them with satisfaction, and then asked carefully: "You know that the empress dowager handed you over to me. From now on, I will control your deployment and behavior. Do you have any opinions?"
Beiling looked at her resolutely and said, "Madam's words are orders, and no one dares to disobey."
"What I mean is, you don't know me at all, so you follow me easily, don't tell me..."
Before the question was finished, Beifengtang interrupted solemnly and calmly: "The Queen Mother's will can't be wrong. Since the Queen Mother let us follow Madam, then Madam's future words are like the Queen Mother's will."
"Okay!" Su Xueqing replied happily, it had been a long time since she was so straightforward, and she couldn't help but feel very satisfied with the boldness of the two.
"From now on, the two of you will take turns talking about the Flame Corps and the detailed information about the intelligence army, so that I can learn more about it. In the future, it will be easier to deploy what to do."
"Yes, ma'am!"
The red sun gradually sinks to the west.
When the end of the sky was burning like a flame, Su Xueqing secretly realized that it was getting late.
After a whole day, Su Xueqing had roughly understood the whole process.At the same time, he also learned from these few people that the place he traveled through was not just Xidan, Jinyuan, Qixia, and Kongsang.Although the other three countries are not as big as Xidan, they are not as big as Xitan.The four countries seem to live in peace, but they do not communicate with each other, and there seems to be a vague intention of annexation.
No wonder, the Empress Dowager Han seems to be such a weak and beautiful woman, she looks pure and ascetic, but secretly raised so many elites.It seems that the situation is a bit dangerous!At this moment, Su Xueqing couldn't help but feel more exciting. It seems that this competition is a bit strong!Not only internal troubles, but also external troubles!
However, the three kingdoms are not in the scope of worry yet. Su Xueqing now knows that Dong Lingao has a total of more than 3 troops in his hands, which is even more terrifying than the 2000 warriors in the Qilin Sixteen.However, although the [-] intelligence agents in Beifengtang's hands are not considered to be good fighters who can go to battle to kill the enemy, they are also very capable.Most are good at light work, disguise, camouflage, and hidden weapons.
With these people, Su Xueqing suddenly felt that she saw a glimmer of hope for the future.At least, it was no better than his elder brother's [-] troops, or Sikong Jue's tens of thousands of soldiers, but having so many capable people gathered in his hands was considered a small achievement.That's right, it's cool, she secretly has so many people, but no one knows, this kind of potential strength, hidden strength, it's hard to understand without experiencing it personally.
"Ma'am, what are your plans next? And what should we do for you?" Dong Lingao, who has never understood Su Xueqing's intentions, really wants to know about the legendary fat queen who is hated and disgusted. , but what kind of thoughts would a smart woman who was planted by the Queen Mother Han think.What is the use of these people?
"That's right, ma'am, the Queen Mother is now in your hands. With so many military personnel, your empress should be..."
Su Xueqing frowned, put her hands behind her back slightly, and paced back and forth in the room.After a moment of silence, he raised his head and asked bluntly, "Ao, I want to ask you, where are you in that group of troops?"
Upon receiving Su Xueqing's question, Dong Lingao immediately stood up and replied: "Mrs. Hui, those people are huge in number, and it's inevitable that they will attract people's attention when they gather together, so the Empress Dowager gathered them away from Xijing and lived in a hidden villa. However, a small number remain in Xijing for dispatch by the Empress Dowager at any time."
"What about you, Fengtang?"
"Returning to Madam, the people in Fengtang are easy to say. They are all hoarded in the entire corner of Xijing. Now, looking around, there should be our people everywhere in Xijing. They hang around in various places regardless of day and night, disguised Dress up, listen to all kinds of news, as long as necessary, we will meet at a fixed place, and they will tell me all the movements of Xijing."
"What about their room and board?"
"The place where they usually live is the house arranged by the Empress Dowager, and there are also inconspicuous courtyards in Xijing."
After hearing this, Su Xueqing nodded slightly: "Then, I don't have to worry about living here now, as for the food..."
"That's right, this is what we want to discuss with Madam this time. From the Queen Mother's point of view, we are dispatched to Madam. In the future, Madam will be responsible for the basic necessities of the soldiers."
"What? Our master is in charge?" Hearing Beifengtang's words, Yeran's black pupils widened in disbelief.
Su Xueqing was equally astonished. She was responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the general's 4 people, and she was not the boss of Foxconn.With so many people raised, do you think she, Su Xueqing, is iron-clad?
"Ahem, is there any mistake? Is the queen mother really saying that?"
Beifengtang and Donglingao nodded at the same time.
"The queen mother, the old man, didn't she leave anything for the soldiers to live on?" For example, silver, jewelry, or something?
The two shook their heads together, and turned their calm and sincere eyes to her.
At first, she thought that she had made a lot of money, but now she, Su Xueqing, has become a victim.How can she make money to support so many people by herself?Did you make a mistake?
"Yeran, how much savings do you think grandpa has to support them?" In desperation, Su Xueqing had no choice but to move out of Prime Minister Su's family.
Ye Ran thought hard and said: "Madam, Prime Minister Su is a dignified and upright official. He only receives the imperial salary every month, and he is not rich. General Yinfeng is even more honest and treats his subordinates like relatives. Therefore, although the Su family It looks majestic and magnificent, but it is as clear as a mirror."
"That you……"
"In recent years, the Su family has tried their best to support us, so we are loyal to Master Su. But now, Master Su is getting old, and I am afraid that he has more energy than he wants. So, I also discussed with other brothers that after this year, and fend for themselves."
Listening to this remark, the four of them fell silent.One is to worry about the living expenses of the [-] troops, and the other is to respect the noble style of the Su family.
"My salary in the palace seems to be only 1 taels of silver a year. Although it is a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, it is really not worth mentioning to support 4 people. If I plan to corrupt a little bit, take bribes or something , I’m afraid it’s not easy to handle!”
As soon as they heard the bribe, all three of them stared nervously at Su Xueqing and said, "Madam, you can avoid accepting bribes..."
"Yeah, it's not feasible. The majestic mother of a country is really ashamed to collect dirty things to feed you."
"Master, accepting bribes is a felony. As the mother of the country, you must have a dignified and virtuous attitude. How can you..."
"Hey, I lied to you. I'm just kidding, how much money can be earned by taking bribes, it's not good to take your life. But, I was thinking, it's a problem to feed so many people!"
At this time, Beifengtang stood up and said with hesitation: "Mother, these people are not useless, we can make the best use of everything. Xijing says it is not big, but it is not small, but let them be self-reliant and support themselves. , and can play jokes and work for Madam, wouldn’t it be better? In this way, not only can you hide your identity, but you can also live like a fish in water under the eyes of the enemy!"
After hearing this, Su Xueqing's watery eyes flashed, and a bright light flashed across her eyes: "I understand that having too many people is not necessarily a bad thing. We can use these manpower to make money and intelligence. While feeding them , can secretly teach them skills, let us become stronger and stronger!"
"Ma'am, what do you mean?" Dong Lingao and Ye Ran, who are not as flexible as Beifengtang, only know how to march and fight, and they still lack business acumen.
Su Xueqing put his hands behind his back, and said with wisdom in his eyes: "I plan to let them learn to do all kinds of business. While we are collecting money secretly, we can recruit soldiers in a hidden way. At the same time, you are not saying that there are people from all over the four countries." Intelligence personnel? We can also take the opportunity to send business to other countries, and then when making profits, we can also clearly find out what the motives of the other three kingdoms are."
"Business? Ma'am, this is not very good. The people under us only know how to march and fight, how can they understand..."
"That's right, ma'am, those people are not as great as Madam said. They are just collecting information, and at most spare time to make a living for small profits, they should not be able to become big players." This time, Beifengtang also echoed.
"No, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. There is actually a reason. It's just that you don't know how to use it. Of course, since I have said so, I will pay for it, and you only need to do things for me. Next, our current residence The camping place is Xijing, and slowly, I will let him expand to the other three countries."
The more excited Su Xueqing was talking at this moment, the more confused the three of them were, and they didn't understand what she was talking about at all.
That's right, to them, she is just a lady who lives in a deep palace compound, enjoys all the glory and wealth, and doesn't understand the warmth and misery of the world, how can she understand the way of business?To feed such a large population, how can it be successful by talking about it?
"Anyway, telling you now is just a dream on paper. It's unrealistic. After I return to the palace, I will make a detailed plan. Regarding the things to be done in the future, as well as money, I will make a plan." The details will come out. I will finish it in a short time, and then come back to ask for your opinions.”
Listening to Su Xueqing's slightly ultra-modern words, the three of them were like two monks, completely confused.
"Ma'am, this..."
"Ma'am, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Master, this matter is not as simple as imagined."
Hearing the three people's advice, Su Xueqing just smiled slyly and thought to himself, do you think that my head of a modern businessman can't compare with your pedantic and stubborn ancient people?Just wait and see, things will definitely exceed your expectations.
"Ahem, you don't believe in my strength now, but you have a wish. Maybe, I can't get your approval now, but you can rest assured. Follow me, I am your friend, in the future, I will only treat you beneficial, not harmful to you."
Dong Ling proudly said with regret: "Ma'am, what kind of words are these!"
Beifengtang also said in a deep voice: "Yes, since we have followed Madam, we absolutely trust Madam."
Yeran cupped his hands in respect and said, "Master, Yeran will definitely follow your orders."
"Okay, today, it's getting late. Let's go here first, and see you again. We will meet here again in three days. When I return to the palace this time, I think someone who is interested will send someone to investigate me. Therefore, the next meeting will be a bit Difficult. Let’s go here first and agree on a code word.”
When the three of them heard the secret words, they all regained their spirits, stretched their necks, and looked at Su Xueqing attentively.
"Ma'am, what code word are you referring to?"
"If I say, sweet potato, sweet potato, I'm a potato, you all come out to see me. If I say, sweet potato, your sister, I'm a pepper, you don't have to see me."
"..."
"..."
"...!"
The three of them turned dark after listening.He thought to himself, this lady looks so fierce, unexpectedly she would make a joke, it is really unflattering, and it is even more embarrassing when she speaks.But the advantage is that she is easy-going, generous and kind-hearted, and everyone can still accept her.
"What? Your expressions?" Su Xueqing was a little at a loss seeing their twitching together.
"Well, ma'am, can you tell me what you mean by what you said?" Beifengtang summoned up his courage and asked with some dumbfounding.
At the same time, Dongling Ao and Yeran also looked like they were listening, and each pricked up their ears.
"Uh, this, it's hard to say. Anyway, it's just a code, so why worry about it. For today's matter, come here first. After three days, just do as I said."
Seeing that Su Xueqing didn't want to say more, the three of them didn't force it.Everyone retracts freely and sticks to their responsibilities.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Master, take care!"
"Ok!"
When Su Xueqing returned to the palace, it was already dark.However, what kind of scene will be waiting for her when she comes out one day?
