The prince sent troops to take over the management of the gold mine.

Chi Ranzhi discussed with Su Mu, "Too many people know about the gold mine that Yefang gave you, and it's too ostentatious. Why don't you hand it over to the imperial court and get [-]% of the net profit every year? What do you think?"

Su Mu was not interested in gold mines, and was thinking about other things, so he nodded indifferently, "I'll listen to you~"

Chi Ranzhi patted his head.

After everything was arranged properly, the army set out, and after being sent off by Ye Fang's monarch and ministers, they set off to return home.

Hall of Qinzheng

The emperor looked at the people who had returned safely, and smiled gratifiedly. His eyes fell on Su Mu, and he waved to Su Mu. After asking for a long time, he nodded reassuringly: "It's fine."

Then, she stopped laughing, her face turned slightly cold: "There is something that needs to be decided by Mumu."

It turned out that in order to rescue the two brothers Wen Rumo and Wen Ruyan, the Wen family was willing to compensate Su Mu with all their family property except Jiangnan, and only asked Su Mu to forgive the two cousins ​​for the sake of relatives.

Two brothers, Wen Rumo and Wen Ruyan, finally confessed under the torture of Long Yingwei: they had an affair with Zhong Jingying. He even planned to sell Su Mu to the Xifan people.

Su Mu is the consort of the current court, and also the Marquis of An Le, appointed by the emperor himself. He is also a fifth-rank member of the imperial court. No matter what his status is, daring to kidnap and sell him is a felony under the laws of the Qian Dynasty.

However, the mastermind, Zhong Jingying, was nowhere to be found, and the two brothers were Su Mu's first cousins. No matter what they did, it was easier for people to sympathize with the weaker side. If they did too much, Su Mu's reputation would be bad.

Su Mu's two uncles are willing to spend almost all of their family property, and Wen's family is as rich as an enemy.

Therefore, the emperor wanted to hear Su Mu's thoughts on this matter.

Should it be dealt with directly according to the law, or should it care about family affection and word of mouth, and want a substantial inheritance.

As for the King of Lingnan, it was not his actions, and a huge amount of compensation has already been sent, so it is not good to continue to pursue the matter.

Hearing this, Su Mu took a glance at the property list promised by the Wen family that He Xiang handed over, thinking of Chi Ranzhi asking him to hand over the gold mine to the imperial court, and thinking of the dandies who almost fought because of insufficient property. He bowed his hands to the emperor and replied, "I want property, let them go."

Emperor: "Are you sure?"

Su Mu nodded, "Your Majesty, you manage a lot of things every day. You manage such a big country, and there are many places to spend money. The Wen family's property spreads all over the country, and I don't need much money. Except for the property in the capital, I will hand it over to the court. "

As for the industry in the capital...

If you use the little brother for a while, you have to support the little brother for a thousand days.

The emperor did not expect Su Mu to say this, "How can it be? Mu Mu has already handed over the gold mine that Ye Fang gave you to the imperial court. You can keep the property of the Wen family yourself."

Su Mu looked at the emperor with a pair of clear eyes, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't talk about two different things in one family. You are so kind to me, and I should be filial to you. It is a humble minister to share some worries for His Majesty." pleasure."

The emperor was a little moved.

This little pistachio really didn't hurt him in vain.

Thinking of someone trying to abduct this little pistachio, the emperor's face turned slightly cold: "Don't worry, Mu Mu, even if those who get out of Longying Prison get their lives back by chance, the rest of their lives will be worse than death."

Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.

"By the way, there is also the apology from the King of Lingnan..." Su Mu wrinkled his nose when he thought of the big family, "It's all handed over to the court, I don't want it."

Seeing Su Mu's disgusted face, the emperor laughed out loud.

Winter is coming soon, and Qin Tianjian predicts that this year will be the coldest winter that has not been seen in ten years, and the Huns will definitely tear up the peace agreement and loot and invade the border.

The emperor and Xiao Shuo were worrying about military expenses, but Su Mu went out and received a large amount of indemnity from Yefang, Wen's family, and Lingnan Wang, which was enough for this year's expenses, and there was still room to spare.

Not only that, but it also promoted the trade with Yefang, so that the four Yis could see the imperial court's grace and power, and set an example for them.

"Mu Mu is indeed my lucky general."

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Su Mu thought it was a good opportunity, so he said, "Your Majesty, I went to Yefang. Occasionally, Xia Daize would invite me and Mu Jiyun to study in the study. Once, I accidentally discovered There was an album on his desk, and he found that Yefang had a lot of iron mines. I have helped His Majesty look after the warehouse for so many days in the Ministry of Industry, and I know the court's demand for iron ore. Yefang has compensated two gold mines before. While expressing sincerity, I also hope to cooperate with Qian Dynasty in mining to feed the local people. If the court tells him that he wants to cooperate in mining iron ore, he should be very happy."

The emperor took a sip of tea, smiled and shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case."

Su Mu: "Why?"

The prince on one side explained to Su Mu:

"Yefang is rich in mineral resources, especially iron ore, copper, and gold mines, which are natural arsenals and the source of wars in Yefang.

Dagan didn't have the idea of ​​Yefang Iron Mine, but the iron mine has already been controlled by Xia Daize.The gold mine Xia Daize may not care, but the iron mine will be guarded very tightly, just like a wild animal guarding its own food. Whoever dares to move must bite the other party to death or step over its corpse.

The court is still trying to find a way. "

Su Mu frowned.

At the beginning when he was in Yefang, when he was baffled by nagging in Xia Daize's study, he accidentally saw the report of the iron mine, and he has never forgotten it since then.

When Xia Daize gave him the gold mine, he originally wanted him to exchange the gold mine for iron ore, but he didn't mention it because he was afraid that it would arouse suspicion.

I always thought that if the imperial court and Yefang could cooperate in iron ore, then he would have more room for manipulation.

But now...

Suddenly, Su Mu's eyes lit up, he looked at the property list of the Wen family in his hand, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have a solution."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Su Mu in surprise.

Su Mu shook the list in his hand: "Xia Daize is a strange person, he values ​​long-term interests very much, especially can suffer immediate losses, we can have one iron mine and one iron mine..."

Half an hour later, Su Mu, who had received countless compliments from the emperor, left Yefang souvenirs for the emperor, and he and Chi Ranzhi walked out of the Palace of Qinzheng, winking at Chi Ranzhi, "Did I do the right thing today?"

Chi Ranzhi smiled lazily and rubbed his hair.

Su Mu smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Back at the Princess Mansion, Su Mu divided up the large cart of Yefang specialties he bought, took another cart to Yunxiang Restaurant, and distributed it to members of the Sweet and Sour Club as benefits.

By the time Su Mu finished his work, it was already night.

After dinner, Chi Ranzhi brought Su Mu to the study.

Then, Su Mu saw Gong Lan and the nineteen secret guards brought by him in the study.

Chi Ranzhi introduced all the hidden guards to Su Mu, and told Su Mu what happened before, and the reason why the dark guards and Mo Xiao's Dragon Shadow Guard didn't die - they were resistant to poison.

Su Mu, who almost killed everyone, said for a long time: "...I'm sorry?"

Gong Lan and the hidden guards hurriedly cupped their hands: "Don't dare."

Su Mu looked at them, "No, I can feel that the people who watched me around before had a strong murderous and cold aura, just like Mo Xiao's. But you don't have it."

Chi Ranzhi rubbed his hair: "Actually, this murderous and cold air is not aimed at you. It is the breath that they have on their bodies because they have done these things all the year round. Now, they have found a way to get rid of it."

Su Mu was silent for a while, then nodded.

drug resistance...

It seems to be upgraded to poison.

At this moment, Su Mu suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Chi Ranzhi, "Wait, you sent them to watch me?"

Chi Ranzhi: "..."

Gong Lan and the others retreated silently.

Chi Ranzhi patted Su Mu's head with a smile, and said calmly, "How can it be called surveillance? I'm protecting you. Besides them, there are people arranged by Gong Mei in the Sixth Division to protect you secretly. Now I will put Their names and positions are given to you, and you have to memorize them one by one."

Hearing this, Su Mu nodded obediently, and was ready to remember it well, so as not to hurt his own people next time.

Seeing that Su Mu had been fooled, Chi Ranzhi smiled slightly.

The next day, Long Yingwei.

Mo Wen dangled in front of Mo Xiao with the benefit of the Sweet and Sour Club - an old mountain ginseng of excellent quality.

Mo Xiao: "What did you take?"

Seeing that his adoptive father is in a good mood recently, Mo Wen couldn't help but sigh: "The sweet and sour will share the benefits."

Look at the sweet and sour club, how good the treatment is.

Mo Xiao stretched out his hand skillfully and took it over to have a look, "Confiscated."

Don't ask: "!!!"

night city

Qianchao sent envoys to come, saying that because the two parties had signed an agreement during the tribute, the minerals in Yefang's territory were preferentially exploited with Qianchao.

Xia Daize received the letter, but before he opened it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He slowed down, took a deep breath, and opened the letter.

Xia Daize first saw the extremely neat and orderly handwriting, and at first glance, it was not something that a guy like Su Mu could write without sitting down.

Tsk, no sincerity.

He looked at the content again.

"Xia Daize, president of the Yefang Branch of the Sweet and Sour Club, and Zhan Xin'an."

Yo, you put a tall hat on me?

Xia Daize suddenly had a bad premonition, and then looked down.

"I have given you a good word in front of the Holy One..."

Xia Daize was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth: Is this how you give me good words in front of the Holy One?

Continue to look, grit your teeth, and laugh angrily.

"I take care of your business, right?..."

I want to thank you too, don't I?

Xia Daize only felt that his chest was blocked by this old blood, unable to get up or down.

"I forgot to tell you before that there is a test after joining the Sweet and Sour Club, and you can become a full member only after you pass it."

"The test of an ordinary member is to go to the Wen family's place every day, but you are not an ordinary member, but the president of the branch. Therefore, I want to give you a more important test, that is-cooperate with Daqian to develop a night club. Fang's iron ore."

Xia Daize gritted his teeth.

The reason why he took the initiative to join the Sweet and Sour Club was because of Su Mu's identity. Moreover, the membership status of this Sweet and Sour Club is not simple, but also full of vitality. many.

To conduct business with Qian Dynasty, channels and backers are indispensable.

What he fancy is the channel behind the members of the Sweet and Sour Society.

Moreover, the Seventh Princess and Su Mu are so favored that the Emperor Daqian would send [-] troops for him. Then, as long as the current emperor is alive, sweet and sour will surely be able to prosper.

He stared at the so-called membership test for a long while.

In other words, if he wants to continue to use the channel of the Sweet and Sour Club to get Su Mu's wool, he has to pass this test?

He finally saw the inscription:

"Su Mu, the president of the Sweet and Sour Club."

Xia Daize closed his eyes, smiled and told the envoy that he had to think again, and ordered the envoy to be sent to the post station, then angrily walked around the room with his hands along his chest, cursing, occasionally He also stomped his feet vigorously, finally stood still by the window, raised his head and let out a long roar.

The sound is clear and full of magnetism, very pleasant to hear.

however……

Watching Xia Daize go from talking to himself to yelling at the ghosts, Mu Jiyun, who was watching the memorial, said: "..."

It’s over.

Uncle was mad.

a few days later.

Xia Daize became much calmer.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

He gave Qianchao and Su Mu the gold mine before to divert Qianchao's attention from their iron mines.Unexpectedly, he was still missed by Qian Chao.

The relationship between the Sweet and Sour Club involves Yefang's most important strategy of developing trade with the Qian Dynasty, and it is related to the long-term livelihood of Yefang's people. Iron mines can only...

However, he has already foreseen that although it is only a cooperation with an iron mine now, in the future...

After weighing for a long time, he decided to cooperate with Qianchao to mine iron ore.

Qian Dynasty is already strong enough, with these iron mines, it is bound to be even more...

As for Ye Fang, he could only move closer to Qian Chao.

Xia Daize sighed and gritted his teeth: Su...

No, I can't think about that guy, my head and heart hurt when I think about that guy.

Now that the decision was made, he acted quickly, invited the envoys, and agreed to cooperate with Qian Dynasty in mining iron ore.

After discussing the specific matters and signing the agreement, the messenger suddenly remembered something, and took out a box of land deeds from his pocket and handed it to Xia Daize:

"This is what the son-in-law entrusted me to deliver to Your Excellency."

Xia Daize took it, opened the box and took a look, "This is..."

The messenger said with a smile: "The son-in-law said that the members of the Sweet and Sour Club can be assigned to some properties for management. As the branch president, the son-in-law will hand over all the properties in Yefang to you. Now that you have passed the membership test, these Naturally, it will be handed over to you."

Xia Daize took a closer look, isn't this all the property of the Wen family?

Good guy, reward him with the property of the Wen family that came in vain, and let him... the current actual ruler of Yefang run it, so why worry about the Wen family making trouble?Why don't you worry about being prosperous at night?And that kid sat and counted money in the princess mansion without any effort?

This is not to let me take advantage of it for nothing, and grab a piece of wool!

Xia Daize looked at these properties that had just changed hands, were in a foreign country, and would go bankrupt if they were not managed during the turbulent period, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and was very angry.

After seeing off the messenger, Xia Daize looked out the window, "Hey..."

A long sigh, and another.

Mu Jiyun looked at him.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu actually cured his uncle's mantra.

Now I just sigh and don't say anything later.

Xia Daize suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Jiyun: "Look at his son-in-law, he looks stupid, but he can wear a tall hat, a white wolf with empty gloves, and give a sweet date with a stick. Look at you again ..."

"..." Mu Jiyun muttered softly, "I play the piano better than him."

Xia Daize looked at him with a smile

Mu Jiyun shrank his neck.

Dry toward the southwest border.

Alpha dodged the pursuers and went east and west, but in fact, they did not go east to the port where their ships were anchored. Instead, they went west and went deep into the inland, passing sparsely populated places on foot, crossing insurmountable mountains, and arriving at the neighboring country in the southwest.

Here, there is a piece of land occupied by the fleet of their Mance Empire.

He threw Zhong Jingying, who was already skinny and out of shape, on the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the process of fleeing, Alpha has already torn off the disguise of a civilized gentleman, revealing his fierceness.

He was originally one of the first group of adventurers from the Mance Empire, and he was also a pirate who did all kinds of evil, was good at lying and deceiving, and burned, killed, and looted.

Zhong Jingying was in a trance, he didn't know how he got here all the way, if he didn't obey, he would be beaten severely, and after the beating was over, when he wanted some medicine, this person would give him some medicine with him.

In this way, in the end, even if there was a chance to escape, he did not escape.

Fear of being caught and beaten is one thing, and on the other hand, the road this guy walks is deserted, and only this evil spirit has drugs.

At this moment, Zhong Jingying's addiction broke out again, lying on the ground trembling, she stretched out her hand and begged, "Give me, give me the drug."

Alpha looked down at him and smiled ferociously: "Don't worry, there are a lot of drugs here, you will like it here."

He picked him up, walked to a nearby village, and sold Zhong Jingying to a villager at random for a small piece of silver.

After walking out of the village, he looked back at the way he had come, and patted his chest lightly with his downcast eyes.

There is a portrait hidden there, which he tore from the scroll, the portrait of a teenager.

Unfortunately, that boy is no longer here.

Alpha was silent for a moment, then headed for the place occupied by the Mance Empire fleet.

Autumn goes to winter, and the first snow falls.

The heavy snow like goose feathers was overwhelming and swirling one after another.

princess mansion

Su Mu stood in the small garden in front of the Moon Invitation Hall, looked at the flying snow, and reached out to catch it.

He grew up on a small island since he was a child and has never seen snow.

The mood at this moment is indescribable.

Chi Ranzhi came out with a thick cloak to cover him, held his cold hand, looked at his red nose from the cold, and said helplessly, "It's too cold, go back."

Su Mu's physique is not so afraid of heat, but extremely afraid of cold.As early as a few days ago when the temperature dropped, he refused to leave the room, and he refused to go to the government office.Unexpectedly, as soon as the snow fell today, everyone was not paying attention, and he ran out to watch the snow by himself.

Su Mu looked at the falling snowflakes with bright eyes, and shook his head.

"It's nice. Just watch it here."

Chi Ranzhi had no choice but to hold the man in his arms, and watched for a while until Su Mu sneezed, and Chi Ranzhi carried the man into the warm room covered with earth dragon, and fed ginger soup to Su Mu, No matter how Su Mu protested, he was not allowed to go out.

Su Mu simply ran to the sleeping hall and opened the window to watch the snow.The cold wind howled, Chi Ranzhi was afraid that he would freeze, so he closed the window for him.But Su Mu started a guerrilla attack with him. Just as he closed the window here, Su Mu went to another room, and finally released all the hot air from Relong.

The noise continued until it was time to go to bed at night, when the wind outside stopped, but Su Mu didn't stop.

Chi Ranzhi had no choice but to wrap the person up and down. He also covered his head with a thick quilt, sat on the soft bed with the person in his arms, opened the window, and wrapped the person tightly in his arms. Flying snowflakes in the quiet night sky.

Su Mu was wrapped tightly, unable to move, only a pair of eyes were exposed, leaning against Chi Ranzhi's warm arms, looking at Feixue with joy and focus, with a smile on his lips.

Chi Ranzhi only showed his face, resting his chin on the thick cloak hat on top of Su Mu's head, sighed helplessly, and followed Su Mu's gaze.

In my ears, only the sound of snow falling was left.

Infinitely quiet and beautiful.

The second day is the winter solstice, and a family banquet is held in the palace.

Su Mu fell asleep after watching the snow until midnight, and stayed in bed in the morning.

Chi Ranzhi had to go to the palace first.

In the imperial garden, Chi Ranzhi, wearing a red cloak, stood by the bridge and waited for Su Mu.

Snow fell all over his body, many snowflakes filled his eyelashes, his expression was indifferent, until he saw a snow-white figure in the distance, his brows and eyes stained with a smile.

Su Mu was wrapped very thickly, like a round and cute snow dumpling, with short legs running upside down, stumbling towards Chi Ranzhi.

Almost fell halfway, but fortunately was supported by Suo GuangLieYing.

Finally ran to Chi Ranzhi, and happily threw himself into Chi Ranzhi's arms.

Chi Ranzhi caught the person and was about to take him to the warm spring-like Lizheng Palace. Xiao Shuo, Xie Jianyu and the prince felt that there were too many people in the Lizheng Palace, so they came out to enjoy the snow and chat. When they met them, they came to say hello.

Seeing a few people exchanging pleasantries, Su Mu took the opportunity to slip away.

But at this time, the snow stopped.

Su Mu was unhappy, so he asked Fu Guang Lve Ying to help shake the snow on the tree, and the snow fell in succession.

Su Mu turned his back to Chi Ranzhi and the others, watching the snowflakes falling on the knee-high pure white and flawless snowdrift, bowed and stretched out his hand to poke the snow hole to play.

The prince and others approached and saw Su Mu playing with the snow, they couldn't help laughing.

Chi Ranzhi looked at Su Mu, the corners of his lips curved suddenly, and he raised his foot to kick Su Mu's fart lightly.

"sand."

Su Mu fell forward, his head stuck in the snowdrift.
