Pick up a female emperor as a wife

Of course, Qin Chuan would not answer the truth in response to Mo Ruxue's question.

He deliberately stood up and looked out the window: "I have been lacking inspiration lately and need to travel around the great rivers so that I can write better poems."

Mo Ruxue did not have any doubts. What she was worried about was that if Qin Chuan never came back, what would happen to the antidote for her poison?

Qin Chuan saw her concerns.

Now, relying on her status and connections in the Lu Mansion, Mo Ruxue has successfully extorted 300,000 taels of silver from the Lu Mansion.

How could she be gone forever after Qin Chuan saw her value?

Qin Chuan squatted down and picked her up, sniffing the fragrance on her body: "Don't worry, I will return to the capital and won't miss your antidote! But if you want to get the antidote, you have to be obedient to me, otherwise I will kill you instantly!"

Mo Ruxue felt flustered.

Before, Qin Chuan gave her poison, but she was not very afraid of Qin Chuan.

But Qin Chuan eliminated the Black Spirit Venerable, whom she believed to be the great disciple of the Wuliang Immortal. She was extremely afraid of Qin Chuan.

Although she has not completely given up the idea of ​​counterattacking Qin Chuan, she currently sees no hope of counterattacking Qin Chuan.

The only way for her to save her life was to obey Qin Chuan's orders.

"Qin Lang, don't worry, I will behave myself." Mo Ruxue said as she kissed Qin Chuan with her sweet lips.

After a crazy night!

Following Mo Ruxue, Ouyang Ronger and Tian Tianci, they left one after another.

Qin Chuan also set out on the journey with Qingyue, Niu Dali, and the old man, while Yuan Liu continued to stay in Lu Mansion to provide intelligence to the emperor.

Five days later.

Late at night, in the Qian Kingdom Palace, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Nangong Wan sat on the dragon throne, brows furrowed as she listened to Sima Hui's report.

When Qin Chuan asked Yuan Liu to deliver a letter to inform her that she needed to thoroughly investigate the specific situation in Xiliang City, she ordered Xue Meihua, Sima Hui and others to use their own skills to investigate the situation in Xiliang City.

But now many days have passed, and the news that has been conveyed is that after Shen Yang killed the prefect of Xiliang City, he ordered the city to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Generals were sent to patrol the city walls day and night, but their people were unable to enter and could not understand the specific situation.

In addition, undercover agents planted in various powerful families also came to pass on the news.

The seven powerful families were all waiting for Shen Yang to raise an army and establish his own regime, launching a rebellion and dragging Qian Kingdom into the war.

They will have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

The royal family is also ready to take advantage of this opportunity to depose the emperor and establish a new one!

The military rebellion in Xiliang City is imminent. If it cannot be resolved, the Qian Kingdom will fall into chaos.

However, the specific situation in Xiliang City is currently unknown. Even if one million taels of military pay can be raised, Nangong Wan is afraid of falling into the tiger's mouth. Instead, she strengthens Shen Yang and helps him to establish his own army.

By then, not only will the Qian Kingdom fall into chaos, but she will also become a laughing stock in the world.

Those forces that are ready to make a move will definitely make a big fuss about this matter, and her throne will be shaken.

not to mention!

She currently had no ability to raise the million taels of military pay that Shen Yang wanted.

The more Nangong Wan listened to Sima Hui's report, the more headache she had.

She gestured to stop: "Reporting alone is useless, let's imagine a solution!"

Sima Hui was able to become Nangong Wan's most trusted civil official, so he was naturally no pushover. He already had a solution: "Your Majesty, the troops sent this time were unable to enter Xiliang City because they were not good at hiding and escaping.

I heard that the master of the Water and Fire Worship, Old Man Tianlei, is good at hiding and escaping.

Although Shen Yang has made great achievements in battle and is proficient in military tactics, he is only a ninth-level master. If you can invite old man Tianlei to help you, you will definitely be able to enter Xiliang City and capture Shen Yang directly!

Once we control it, the mutiny can be resolved!"

Nangong Wan's frown remained unabated: "Sima Dear Lord, there are two problems that need to be solved in the method you mentioned.

Firstly, since I ascended the throne, I have requested Old Man Tianlei to come out of seclusion no less than five times, but he has sternly refused each time, so it is difficult to invite him out this time.

Secondly, if the actual situation in Xiliang City is really as Shen Yang said, the military pay has not been distributed to the soldiers for three years.

If I send people to arrest him, wouldn't that hurt the hearts of the loyal and patriotic generals? And hurt the hearts of the border guards of Xiliang City?

"Your Majesty, now that I have spoken of this method, I must be able to invite Old Man Tianlei to come out of seclusion." Sima Hui replied.

Nangong Wan was overjoyed. "My dear, what can you do?"

“Old Tianlei gave up his position as a priest because he was protecting the late emperor, which led to the disappearance of his granddaughter. I have found his granddaughter a few days ago. When I tell him that Your Majesty has found his granddaughter, he will surely be moved to come out of seclusion!

As for whether it will hurt Shen Yang's feelings, there is no need to worry too much. You can ask Master Tianlei to investigate him. If it is finally found that the facts are as Shen Yang said, he will naturally restore his freedom.

If we find that what he said is all lies, then we will control him and take control of the border defense forces of Xiliang City. "Sima Hui replied.

Hear this!

Nangong Wan still sighed: "Even if the best result is achieved, we still have to face the issue of military pay. Currently, disasters are happening frequently in the country and silver is needed everywhere. I have been raising funds for many days and have only managed to squeeze out 200,000 taels.

The soldiers have not seen their pay for three years, and two hundred thousand taels is not enough to satisfy them."

"Your Majesty, even a few flies are still meat. We can let Old Man Tianlei negotiate with Shen Yang on this matter. If Shen Yang is a loyal and patriotic person, he will definitely find a way to use these 200,000 taels to appease the soldiers!" Sima Hui said.

"I believe in Shen Yang!" Nangong Wan clenched her jade hands and immediately ordered, "Lord Sima, hurry up and invite Elder Tianlei to come out of the mountain without delay!"

"Here!"

When Sima Hui left, Xue Meihua stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Liu sent a message a few days ago that Qin Chuan said he could collect one million taels of military pay. Should we wait for him?"

Nangong Wan, wearing a dragon robe, exuded an air of dominance, but now she showed a smile that only a young girl could have: "He is really thoughtful!"

Then she shook her head again: "Qin Chuan's way of making money is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but there is still a gap of 800,000 taels from the current one million taels. Even he can't do it. We can only hope that Master Tianlei can convince Shen Yang."

Blood Plum Blossom didn't say much and waited until everyone had left.

Nangong Wan came to the rockery in the Imperial Garden and looked towards the direction of Qingyang City: "Qin Chuan, I am really happy that you, a bad guy, can always think of me.

It's just that now is a time of trouble, and I can't control it. Before the matter of Xiliang City is resolved, for your own safety, don't come back to the imperial capital to look for me!"

After saying that, Nangong Wan called over Blood Plum Blossom and asked her confidant to go to Qingyang City to tell Qin Chuan in person not to come to the imperial capital!

Three days later!

Nangong Wan finally heard the good news.

Sima Hui has successfully persuaded Old Man Tianlei to come out of seclusion.

At present, Old Man Tianlei has gone to Xiliang City. He has a magical horse that can travel a thousand miles a day, and he can reach the destination in two days at most.

There will be news back within five days!

This made Nangong Wan feel a little relieved.

however!

The development of the matter was beyond her and Sima Hui's imagination.

Five days later!

Nangong Wan received news that the great grandmaster, Old Man Tianlei, was captured by Shen Yang.

Shen Yang was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's action, saying that the emperor's action made him even more disappointed, and he would give the emperor one last chance.

Deliver one million military pay within seven days, otherwise the Xiliang City border defense forces will be disbanded on the spot!

House seemingly endless rain!

The Western Rong Kingdom has also heard about the mutiny in Xiliang City and has now deployed 150,000 troops, facing Xiliang City across the Xiliang River.

If Shen Yang disbanded his army on the spot, the Xirong Kingdom would definitely cross the Xiliang River and attack Xiliang City as soon as possible.

How can Xiliang City be defended without garrison?

The northwest gate of Qian State is wide open, Qian State is in danger!

At that moment, Nangong Wan's heart was completely confused...
