The crossed scholar

Yu Li was beaten to pieces!These are probably not rumors, are they? Duanmu Qi said with a smile as soon as he sat down.

"Ah? You know everything? How did you know about these things?" Although Zhu Xiaobao was prepared, he was still shocked. Isn't this news too well-informed?

"Hehe, do you think there are no spies on Luofeng Island? Tell me, not only there are, but there are many others. People from various forces are there, so I already know every move there! As for Lingyue Mountain, hehe... "Duanmu Qi spoke halfway, then he just laughed and said nothing.

At this time, any fool can understand that there are also undercover agents in Lingyue Mountain!So Zhu Xiaobao believes that now Duanmuqi already knows about the 'Three Auspicious Treasures'.

"Then the Seventh Princess also knows?" Zhu Xiaobao asked worriedly.

"It's not necessarily true. I pay more attention to Lingyue Mountain, but the seventh princess only pays attention to Lingyue Island. She shouldn't be very clear about it! Otherwise, she would have written to me a long time ago! She also paid attention to Luofeng Island. I just thought it was just to court! After all, Yu Dan can be considered a princess!" Duanmu Qi seemed to understand.

"Hey! Okay, okay, I can't hide those things anymore, and I don't care if you know, today I'm here to discuss cooperation with my brother, which is definitely beneficial to both parties!" Zhu Xiaobao Said shaking his head.

"Tell me! I'll think about it!" Duanmu Qi cheered up, he must be more careful with this little fat man, this guy's brains are faster than his own!Duanmu Qi did not dare to underestimate Zhu Xiaobao.

"I can help defeat King Ming! How about it? Is this a great gift?"

? "Zhu Xiaobao asked very bewildered.

"Hehe! Forget it, it's definitely a big gift, but I'm afraid the request is not small, right?" Duanmu Qi didn't dare to be happy, knowing that Zhu Xiaobao would not give himself a big gift for no reason!

"Hey! Of course, I have two requests. First, give me 20 deniers of food! Second, let the nineteenth princess withdraw from the front line and guard the sea area in the southwest. How about these two requirements? ?” Zhu Xiaobao asked with a smile.

"Huh! Not too high? 20 deniers of grain, and I really dare to open my mouth. This time I brought a total of 20 deniers, and I have eaten less than half of it in the past half month! How can there be so much grain to give, besides Now, what do you need so much food for, don’t tell me it’s for brewing wine!” Duanmu Qi almost jumped up from his chair, and finally he was mentally prepared, so he said angrily.

20 deniers of grain are equivalent to 2000 million catties, and 50 soldiers will consume almost 100 million catties a day, so Duanmu Qi is not talking nonsense when he says that only half is left.

"I'm going to move out of Xiyuan City and find another place where I can settle down and start a business. Why don't I bring some food!" Zhu Xiaobao said very simply, and he didn't intend to hide it from Duanmu Qi anyway.

"Go to Lingyue Mountain? Well, no wonder you worked so hard to help Lingyue Mountain defeat Yu Li. It turns out that you don't just want to marry Yu Dan? Do you want to develop in Lingyue Mountain?" Duanmu Qi immediately figured out these things .

"Well, my brother's brain is so good that he was seen right away! So this request is not too much, right?" Zhu Xiaobao said, patting the horse.

"Hmph! Tell me how to help me defeat King Ming first.

force?You mean the cannon in red? "Duanmu Qi pondered for a while before asking eagerly. He can't afford to lose now. Once the troops of King Ming and King Wen invaded Xiyuan City, they would have no way of retreat. Now the southwest of Xiyuan City is Those few boats are on mobile standby, and only important people like him will be able to escape! But how do you explain when you escape back to the Seventh Princess?

"Yes! I will support ten red-clothed cannons with two thousand pieces of ammunition, enough to keep King Ming's troops from attacking again! How about it?" Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said.The last time Duanmu Qi went to Dongtian Paradise, he saw Hong Yida solve the case, and he also saw the power of this kind of artillery, but he didn't expect to lend it to him to resist the enemy!This can be said to be a winning ticket!

"Okay! 20 deniers of grain will be exchanged for ten red cannons, I agree!" Duanmu Qi said with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no! Brother, you are helping to resist the enemy. You didn't say give it to me. After the fight, I will carry it back!" Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly said, how can this thing be given to the Seventh Princess!

"Ah? It costs 20 deniers of grain just to shoot a few shots? Isn't it too dark?" Duanmu Qi said with a long face.

"What do you mean by shooting a few shots? Thousands of shells are picked up for nothing? They are all made with money, so they are precious!" Zhu Xiaobao said eloquently.

"One hundred thousand deniers! One hundred thousand deniers of grain! No more! I can't afford any more!" Duanmu Qi immediately killed half of the price.

"Hey! My Lingyue Mountain is not smaller than the army, isn't it? One hundred thousand deniers is not enough at all? Besides, I can ask the seventh princess for it! 15 deniers, this is my bottom line!" Zhu Xiaobao also said bargainingly .He has experienced the food intake of those female soldiers in Lingyue Mountain, and they eat no less than those of the male soldiers, so prepare more!

"Okay! Deal! Only 15 deniers! When will you bring me the cannon in red?" Duanmu Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry? My second condition hasn't been fulfilled yet!" Zhu Xiaobao said calmly.

"Oh! By the way, isn't it just to let the nineteenth princess withdraw from the front line and let her be stationed in the southwest..." Duanmu Qi was startled at the end, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaobao, we are not joking, ten Does the Ninth Princess also want to leave Xiyuan City with her?"

Zhu Xiaobao sighed inwardly, this old brother is really too smart, he thought of this level immediately.But the matter has come to this point, Zhu Xiaobao can no longer hide it, so he just nodded, Wu Yue next to him is also staring at Duanmu Qi closely, she is very nervous now, if Duanmu Qi disagrees, it will be troublesome!

At this moment, a person quietly walked in from the door, carrying another person in his hand, and it was not known whether it was dead or alive.As soon as he entered the door, he threw the person in his hand on the ground, and then said with a smile: "This person has been watching!"

Duanmuqi saw that it turned out to be the great venerable, that is, Zhu Xiaobao's apprentice, but the person who was arrested surprised him even more. He was actually the secret agent of the Seventh Princess, a mysterious master who was specially responsible for monitoring and inquiring!

"I'm not stalking, I was ordered by the Seventh Princess to watch the Nineteenth Princess!" After the man woke up, he saw Duanmu Qi and said in a muffled voice. He was not afraid of Duanmuqi, nor was he afraid of the Nineteenth Princess, but he was afraid That chubby old man...

Chapter 241 Kill three birds with one stone

Duanmuqi was very surprised. Apart from himself, the Seventh Princess also sent another person to lurk in Xiyuan City. Although it wasn't necessarily aimed at him, Duanmuqi was somewhat startled. The minds of these power-playing people were indeed not He can understand thoroughly, and the seventh princess is no exception, she only believes in herself.Duanmu Qi understands his every move, and maybe the Seventh Princess also understands clearly!

But Wu Yue became very angry. This is because she doesn't trust the nineteenth princess, so she has always sent people to watch secretly, that is, no one can go up to the blessed land of the cave, so the many secrets of the nineteenth princess can still be kept. !

This secret agent's martial arts is actually at the level of a first-class martial artist, and his specialty is concealment and tracking, so he didn't notice it even with the cultivation of the great martial artist Duanmuqi.But he couldn't hide the feelings of the old apprentice.

Zhu Xiaobao brought his old apprentice with him when he came back this time, instead he left Jumei on the "Three Auspicious Treasures". In this complicated environment, the role of the old apprentice is too great. Bring back the person who was following you!

But if you ask any more questions, it makes people feel a little speechless. The seventh princess keeps a close eye on the nineteenth princess, but she has no defense against Xia Zixiu. I didn't take him seriously!

The secret agent was still very confident. He took out the token of the Seventh Princess, which meant that Duanmu Qi and the others had finished questioning and should let him go back. I won't speak!

"Let him go!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Tong Wuxin, then waved his hands and said.

"Yes!" Tong Wuxin nodded, the long-term tacit understanding made the siblings connect with each other, and when they left the house, this person was killed by the old apprentice!

"Hey! Brother, it seems that you are not very trusted? What do you think of what we discussed?" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Duanmu Qi and asked with a smile.

"Okay! Let's do it as said, but the nineteenth princess's people can't all evacuate, that's too obvious, it can only be reduced gradually, and the nineteenth princess will show up frequently!" Duanmuqi said with a sigh, He knew that Zhu Xiaobao must have killed that spy, otherwise Zhu Xiaobao would be too childish!

"Of course, after all, Princess Nineteen is still the city lord of Xiyuan City! Brother, you have to report this matter to Princess Seven, right? Will it cause any trouble?" Zhu Xiaobao was a little confused at this time. Worry for Duanmuqi, with such a large batch of grain, Seventh Princess has to jump up!

"Hmph, yes, is it possible for me to bring out the food myself? I don't have the strength! But don't worry, I have my own discretion. The seventh princess is most worried about the success or failure here, and the food is still second. To put it bluntly , if I can't defend Xiyuan City, then I will be in trouble!" Duanmu Qi said angrily.

Duanmu Qi was the one who came up with this bad idea this time, so Duanmu Qi was under a lot of psychological pressure. If he was attacked by King Ming, although he would not lose his head, it would also make his status with the Seventh Princess drop by a notch. !

"Hey! Brother, don't say that brothers don't help! This is a gift, but it can only be used by one person, and it is not allowed to spread!" Zhu Xiaobao smiled and put his arms around Duanmuqi's neck, as if he wanted to kiss the two brothers, This made Duanmu Qi very helpless, he was over 50, and he was still hooking up with him, how decent it was to be seen by others, but the things he received from Zhu Xiaobao really made his eyes shine.It was a telescope.

"What's the use of this thing?" Duanmu Qi asked happily, but he knew that Xiaobao's products must be high-quality products!So the spirit doubled immediately!

"Hey, you'll know it when you see it!" Zhu Xiaobao brought Duanmu Qi to the yard. Although it was dark, the pavilions and pavilions in the distance were still brightly lit.Then Zhu Xiaobao opened the binoculars and made a demonstration.

"Huh? What is this? How is it possible that you can see so far? It's still very clear?" Duanmuqi suddenly asked in amazement. A girl!But put down the binoculars, the distance to Yixiang Garden is still so far!

"This is called a telescope, and it can shorten the distance by four times. Think about it, if it's a war, can you see the opportunity?" Zhu Xiaobao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, absolutely, the value of this thing simply exceeds that of any magical weapon

Sharp weapon!Really give it to me? "Duanmu Qi became excited immediately. From the perspective of fighting, this thing is indeed very useful.

"Of course! It's my brother, I have to help!" Zhu Xiaobao nodded seriously.

"Okay! Then I won't be polite!" Duanmu Qi picked up the binoculars excitedly to see if there was no one around, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Does the nineteenth princess want to pull it out by herself, and don't plan to be in the west?" Are you staying in Yuancheng?"

"Well, see if she can stay any longer? When we stabilize the situation in Xiyuan City, then she, the city lord, will be dead in name only!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.

"Oh! Originally, I thought that she would be able to live in peace and stability with the Seventh Princess, but I didn't expect her to have some ideas!" Of course, Duanmu Qi immediately saw the meaning. The Nineteenth Princess wanted to save With his own strength, he would rather move outside of Xiyuan City than submit to the Seventh Princess.That must be a conspiracy!

"Hey! It's not that I underestimate Princess Seven, moving to her fief doesn't mean everything will be fine!" Zhu Xiaobao seemed to be reminding Duanmu Qi intentionally.

"Well! I understand, I will try my best to help you! After all, the nineteenth princess moved to a place other than the Great Xia Kingdom, and it will not pose any threat to anyone!" Duanmu Qi nodded, as if he had found something for himself. A suitable reason, in fact, even outside the Great Xia Kingdom, it is still a potential threat!What's more, if they moved to Lingyue Mountain, if they could use the female warriors from Lingyue Mountain, the threat of the nineteenth princess would increase exponentially.

"Then thank you, brother. I'll go back and prepare. The day after tomorrow, I will send ten red cannons to the nineteenth princess. These ten red cannons can only be called by one person, and they can only be used by the nineteenth princess." cāo) work!" Zhu Xiaobao clasped his fists together, and then sent someone to send Duanmu Qi away!

Going back to Princess Nineteen's study room, Princess Nineteen is already sitting there, but her heart is not very good. Princess Seven's actions still make her feel very chilled. She was a little hesitant at first, but now she is determined I want to get rid of the control of the seventh princess!

"Little Treasure, I really want to take out the red cannon. Do you know how much shock it will cause? I am afraid that even the Seventh Princess will be attracted?" Nineteenth Princess asked worriedly

Road.

"It doesn't matter. The key to this kind of thing depends on who is in control. At that time, it will be over if I give these ten red cannons to her? When the shells are finished, it will be a pile of scrap iron, and the last few I've already remade a cannonball, hehe, I'm afraid it will be nothing at that time!" Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.

"Okay! We will all cooperate!" Seeing Zhu Xiaobao's confident look, the nineteenth princess felt more at ease in her heart, and then nodded resolutely and said.

"Then I'll hurry back to Dongtian Paradise and make some arrangements, I won't say much, take care of yourselves!" Zhu Xiaobao bowed towards Princess Nineteen, and then got ready to go inside.

"Little Treasure! Just leave like this? Don't you say a few words to him?" Wu Yue hurriedly chased him out, and asked with some reluctance.

"Well, I want to say it, but I don't have time, tsk tsk, the time is too short, not enough, and there is no one?" Zhu Xiaobao looked around, and then said with a little regret.

"Get out! Who said that? Can't you be more serious?" Wu Yue shouted angrily with her face flushed.

"Ah? Could it be that I misunderstood it? I'm sorry, I'll apologize right away!" Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed exaggeratedly, and quickly kissed Wu Yue's face before leaving quickly.

"I hate it! There are so many people watching!" Wu Yue scolded, covering her face, but she was instantly satisfied in her heart.

……

At the same time, in Xia Zixiu's house, Xia Zixiu and Ji Zhi were begging bitterly: "Brother Ji! Can you just be me? I don't want anything, so let me go to Songju's place?"

"Fuck crazy? Now that the two sides are at war, wouldn't that be surrendering to the enemy? Can't we just let go of the shitty matter with Ma Songju? How the fuck is that?" Ji Zhi exclaimed, and hurried to I looked around, but luckily it was just the two of them now.Ji Zhi didn't pay attention to Xia Zixiu at all now, and even the most basic respect was limited to outsiders.

"Brother Ji! I really can't take it anymore, just help me this time? I'll take away my followers! ... and some bank notes!"

Xia Zixiu said pitifully.In fact, he is several years older than Ji Zhi, but he calls Ji Zhi Brother Ji!

"Well, let me think about it carefully? What should I do? I don't want those concubines anymore?" Ji Zhi rolled his eyes and calculated quickly, and then began to feel a little bit excited. If this is done, I may have brought in a lot of wealth and beauties. Xia Zixiu's harem is really clean, and I haven't even touched it. Once this guy leaves, wouldn't it all belong to me?

"Hey! Okay, okay, Brother Ji, tell the truth, Songju passed on the letter to me, and he misses me very much, so I must not let Songju down!" Xia Zixiu had no IQ at this time. Yes, I also took out Ma Songju's letter, and asked Ji Zhi to have a look.

"Well! As soon as we leave, disaster is imminent for us here! You know that we are all subordinates, especially me, who has always been with you. Everyone has seen it. Even when fighting, I rushed to the front to protect !" Ji Zhi pretended to be very embarrassed and said.

"I know, I know, that's why I implore Brother Ji to help me find a way to go to Songju smoothly! Of course...don't let me be implicated!" Xia Zixiu said hastily.

"Well, I'll arrange a scene. I'll discuss it with Ma Songju and ask him to send someone to pick him up, and then we'll pretend to chase them down. This way, I and my subordinates should be cleared!" Ji Zhi thought. I thought about it.

"Okay! Just listen to Brother Ji. If Zixiu can make his wish come true, Zixiu will be very grateful!" Xia Zixiu said suddenly overjoyed, and even held Ji Zhi's hand excitedly.

"Okay, okay! I don't have that hobby! Well, but let's go, what about those concubines?" Ji Zhi quickly shook off Xia Zixiu's hand, wiped his own hand in disgust, and then laughed asked.

"This... I didn't think about it, let them stay in the house, and ask Brother Ji to deal with it when the time comes!" Xia Zixiu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't have the heart to think about these trivial matters, let alone those few The child is not his own, those women complain all day long, he is very upset!

"But we can't let them go out and talk nonsense? Otherwise, wouldn't all the crap get out?" Ji Zhi reminded her heartily.

"Huh? How about...killing them?" Xia Zixiu was very happy, and already wanted to kill them.

"How can you kill him? That's too cruel, and the right one doesn't have a good reputation?" Ji Zhi said kindly.

"Oh! It's all trivial! Otherwise, I'll ask Brother Ji to do it for me, just keep their mouths shut and let them stay here forever!" Xia Zixiu didn't expect that he would have so many things to do if he wanted to run away from home. trouble.In fact, he didn't even imagine that he was already going to defect to Ma Songju, so what reputation did he care about?

"Forget it! Then I'll help out and take care of these concubines!" Ji Zhi said in a very 'righteous' way.

"Then thank you, Brother Ji!" Xia Zixiu immediately saluted with gratitude.

"Okay! Go back to rest first, and I'll go back and take care of those concubines too! When I figure out how to escape, I'll help arrange it!" Ji Zhi said very satisfied, and then swaggered towards the backyard go.

"Ah?...go take care of them now?" Xia Zixiu looked at Ji Zhi in surprise, and then seemed to understand a little bit, but he couldn't stop him, Ji Zhi was in control of his destiny now!

……

In Dongtianfudi, [-] shells were continuously hoisted down and transported to the camp of the nineteenth princess.And Zhu Xiaobao was not idle, he changed the fuses of the last ten shells.Then the thief Xixi said to Tong Wuxin: "These are the last ten pieces at the bottom of the press box. They must not be used, they can only be filled in at the end! Whoever uses them will be unlucky!"

"Ah? Why?" Tong Wuxin was startled when he heard that, only then did he realize that the edges of the ten shells were all painted in red, and there was no other difference.

"Hey! Listen to me!..." Zhu Xiaobao whispered in Tong Wuxin's ear for a while.

"Hmph! I think it's really unlucky whoever bumps into it!" Tong Wuxin couldn't help poking his forehead and laughing.

"Who said that? Didn't it just fall?"

"roll!"

Chapter 242 It's All About You

The next day, when Ji Zhi got up from the top, he still felt a little dazed. This is a big deal!Xia Zixiu's inner house is simply a place of gentleness, except for two or three concubines who firmly rejected him, the rest are half-pushed and half-hearted, allowing Ji Zhi to succeed!

Ji Zhi didn't take much rest all night, and changed four rooms in a row, and it's only been a short rest until now.But Ji Zhi's spirits were very high, and she came out dressed neatly early in the morning. This other people's wife feels good!It's really embarrassing for these concubines. After so many years of being alone in an empty room, Ji Zhi feels like a savior!

I ran into Xia Zixiu as soon as I went out, I didn't expect Xia Zixiu's spirit to be better than him!Although there is a dark green halo on his head, he is full of energy and full of expectations!

"Brother Ji? How is it? How are you thinking about my affairs?" Xia Zixiu asked hurriedly as soon as he saw Ji Zhi.

"Well! Except for two or three people who are not very willing, everything else is okay, which is pretty good!" Ji Zhi said to Xia Zixiu, still immersed in a trance.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Xia Zixiu asked in a daze because he didn't understand.

"Oh? Are you talking about something? Hehe, I'm really confused!" Ji Zhi just went back to the future, and dared that he didn't care about those concubines at all, but was asking about his final affairs!Ji Zhi patted his forehead and said: "How about this, let's go to Mr. Duanmu together, I still have a little friendship with him, and then let him arrange us in the westernmost camp, when the time comes, can't we just sneak away? "

"Really! That's great, then I'll trouble Brother Ji!" Xia Zixiu was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect Ji Zhi to have friendship with Mr. Duanmu, so this matter would be much more convenient.

It is true that Ji Zhi and Duanmu Qi had some friendships. When they were in the imperial city, the two of them had played against each other. Duanmu Qi also recognized Ji Zhi's talent very much. Ji Zhi did not brag about this!

Duanmu Qi was a little surprised to see Xia Zixiu and Ji Zhi coming to visit him together.He had heard of this Xia Zixiu for a long time, and had seen it when the Nineteenth Princess got married.But I heard that since he was defeated by King Ming's troops a few months ago, he became very dull and rarely showed his face in public.Even when Duanmu Qi came to Xiyuan City this time, he also met at the reception banquet of the Nineteenth Princess. At that time, he felt very decadent and dull.I didn't expect that today I would take the initiative to find myself.

What Duanmuqi didn't expect was that Xia Zixiu actually proposed to switch to the westernmost camp, where he was facing King Ming's army!What does this mean? Could it be that the nineteenth princess said something to him yesterday?

"Um! General Xia, he's the son-in-law. Are you considering this matter? After all, it's the farthest place. If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to come here in time!" Duanmu Qi looked puzzled. Xia Zixiu said.

Xia Zixiu's condition is really good today, he is dressed in military uniform, full of energy, he is not as decadent as before, but seems eager to do meritorious service and is eager to go to the front line.Ji Zhi next to him was also incomprehensible. He was actually helping Xia Zixiu with his speech. Could it be that this Ji Zhi also wanted to gain some fame on the battlefield?When I was in the imperial city, I couldn't tell that this guy's martial arts were still so good.

so good!Duanmu Qi looked at Ji Zhi in surprise.

"Mr. Duanmu, hehe! I only started to regain my martial arts here. There is no way. I just want to have more self-protection ability!" Ji Zhi said very frankly. In fact, in terms of bearing and martial arts, Ji Zhi has already Far surpassed Xia Zixiu.

"No, no, no! Mr. Duanmu, I have thought about it. I have been too decadent these days. I just want to completely change my current situation, so I want to go to the battlefield to regain my confidence! Now I am Resolutely demand to go to the camp in the west and take charge of it alone!" Xia Zixiu stood up quickly and said with his head held high.

"Then...does the Nineteenth Princess agree?" Duanmu Qi asked hesitantly, he was kind, after all, the two had only been married for a short time, and if something happened, he would not want to ask the Nineteenth Princess to explain it!
