The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at Jiang Wanqing with a complicated look in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Jiang Wanqing had arranged so many things.

Then he asked, "I was wondering why there were some people following me, but Jiang Ao said they were there to protect me, so I ignored them. In addition to those secret guards, were the 400,000 dan of grain also yours?"

Jiang Wanqing nodded: "Yes, the person who delivered the food was Feng Xingzhi, and he is now working under me."

After saying that, Jiang Wanqing took out the willow leaf jade pendant from his bosom, took a step forward, and handed it to the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Dad, you should keep this jade pendant. You need someone to protect you now."

Jiang Lingyi raised her eyebrows when she saw the willow leaf jade pendant and couldn't help but take a breath.

The willow leaf jade pendant is the Jiang family's last trump card.

He can command 3,000 death warriors. According to rumors, these 3,000 death warriors can defeat 100,000 generals.

I just don’t know when this willow leaf jade pendant was given to Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Ao, who was standing by, was helping Mo Yu, while also listening to what Jiang Wanqing and the others were saying.

Jiang Ao looked up at Jiang Wanqing and said, "The people of Beimo are really cunning. They use one shady trick after another. Dad was injured because they sent a woman on horseback to seduce Dad. The back of that woman looks exactly like you, my sister.

I heard that the woman was bullied by the Northern Desert soldiers. Although Dad knew that the possibility of it being you was very slim, he was still worried, so he chased after her alone to see what was going on."

Jiang Wanqing was stunned and looked at the Duke of Zhenguo, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually used such a shady trick.

Yes, even if there is only a one percent chance that it is me, my father will not take the gamble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqing couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He lowered his head: "Dad...it's all my fault..."

She already knew in advance that Beimo would use some means to target her father in this battle.

She should have been more careful then.

The Duke of Zhenguo glared at Jiang Ao and said, "Why are you talking nonsense to your sister?"

Then, he regained his gentle smile and looked at Jiang Wanqing.

He said weakly, "This matter cannot be blamed on you. You have never been to the battlefield. I am worried and confused. Besides, you have arranged these assassins around me and brought 400,000 grains. My daughter, you are already amazing. You can share the burden for me."

The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes were full of admiration.

Jiang Ao shook his head helplessly. Usually in situations like this, the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.

However, Jiang Wanqing mentioned the matter of food and grass just now...

Jiang Ao couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how did you manage to get 400,000 grains?"

Jiang Wanqing looked at Jiang Ao suspiciously: "Did Patriarch Feng not tell you?"

Jiang Ao shook his head: "No, no matter what I asked him, he just laughed it off and said that he was delivering food and grass for you."

After hearing this, Jiang Wanqing felt that Feng Xingzhi was a very cautious and careful person who could keep his mouth shut.

He explained, "The grain transport officer secretly sold the military rations, and I bought them, but it was only 360,000 dan. I think the extra 40,000 dan of grain should be the intention of the Feng family head himself."

Or perhaps, he felt that donating 360,000 dan and 360,000 dan of military rations was too obvious, so he added some more.

Jiang Ao couldn't help but take a breath.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes: "These dog officers actually thought of burning the military rations! Didn't they think that if the food and grass are not supplied, without supplies, our soldiers will be defeated!"

After a pause, Jiang Ao exclaimed again: "Little sister, you didn't really use gold to buy those military rations? 360,000 dan, that's a lot of money!"

Jiang Lingyi's beautiful eyebrows also frowned slightly.

Looking at Jiang Wanqing, she said in a serious tone, "I heard that a subordinate of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an was caught at the military rations department, but that subordinate later found out about the relationship. What is the truth? Little sister, do you know? Was this really done by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an?"

Until now, Jiang Lingyi was still reluctant to believe that Prince Cheng'an was the murderer behind the scenes. How could he possibly touch his own military rations?

However, he was disappointed.

Seeing that the three people in front of him were looking at him.

Jiang Wanqing then slowly started talking about the previous events.

"I spent money to buy the food, otherwise the man wouldn't have believed me. However, later on the day they burned the military rations, I killed him and took back the food."

"The person behind this is indeed His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an. On the night when the military rations were burned, I fought with the enemy's men. The bodies that were found were also left behind by me on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ao just cursed: "It's a pity that he is still a prince! He should have died of the plague this time! If it weren't for you, my little sister, and if we didn't have military rations, how many soldiers would have died."

Jiang Ao's eyes were red, and when he thought of that possibility, his hatred for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an deepened.

This is not taking the lives of the soldiers on the border seriously!

It’s a pity that the soldiers worked so hard to defend the city, but we let them enjoy wealth and glory!

Jiang Lingyi frowned: "I used to doubt that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an would not be so stupid, and wondered if someone else had framed him. Now it seems that he is not a wise leader."

He always kept in mind what Jiang Wanqing said before.

In order to select a suitable one among the four princes, they should also take sides.

Although they haven't decided who to choose yet, Baili Chen is definitely not the one they will choose.

How can a person who does not respect the soldiers on the border and does not care for his people be a good monarch?

Jiang Wanqing also echoed: "The dispute over the throne, Your Highness Prince Cheng'an, will not be considered."

The Duke of Zhenguo, who was standing by, widened his eyes as he listened to the discussion of his three children.

He said in disbelief: "You are really crazy. Now, you dare to talk nonsense about the throne!"

Jiang Wanqing and others looked at the Duke of Zhenguo together.

Jiang Ao, Jiang Wanqing and Jiang Lingyi exchanged glances.

Jiang Lingyi took a step forward.

He bowed to the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Dad, after this time, you will retire from officialdom. You only need to take good care of your mother in her old age. The rest of the things should be left to us.

I am in the imperial court, Jiang Ao is in the border town, and my younger sister is here to guide us. Please let us do it, Dad."

The Duke of Zhenguo narrowed his eyes.

I became more and more confused: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Jiang Lingyi's eyes were filled with hesitation, and she finally opened her mouth: "Dad, actually..."

Before Jiang Lingyi could finish her words, Jiang Wanqing interrupted and said, "Please rest assured, Dad. We will only protect ourselves and not show off our strength. What the emperor wants is our goal."
