The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 355 Losing Power (1)

In the eighth prince's mansion, the staff quietly retreated to the side, not daring to say a word.Something that was supposed to be foolproof somehow went wrong at this juncture, especially when someone caught him right.That city's defense is notoriously upright, and there is almost no chance of complaining.The old grain with mold cannot be transported to the border, and this part is lost, which is equivalent to losing the whole plate.

The expression on Ye Li's face was very ugly at the moment, although his subordinates were deployed in various places, but how the city guards suddenly led their troops here, he still hasn't figured it out yet.I don't even understand where there is a flaw in this plan, so that people will take advantage of the loophole.Now the development of the matter is beyond his expectation, and he doesn't even know how to cover the net.

"Your Highness, do you want to find a way to rescue Xia Jun and Jiang Chao?" The staff member said: "The matter is still involving the Xia family. If you just ignore it, your majesty will punish the Xia family severely. The Xia family is still useful to your highness now, so don't take it lightly. throw away."

It was already an inescapable fact that Xia family's private soldiers were caught on the spot.If the trend continues, the emperor will even take over the Xia family. Now that he has not accomplished his great career, he still needs to rely on the strength of the Xia family. How can he easily discard this most important pawn?If the Xia family was damaged because of this, it would not only hurt the hearts of those courtiers who followed him, but also cause him to lose most of his strength.The Xia family has to be saved.

Seeing that Ye Li didn't speak, the staff continued: "Now we can only find a way to transport the original military salary back, and find a way to say that Xia Jun and Jiang Chao are burning old grain and protecting the military salary. As long as the matter is rounded, it will be clean Some, it’s not impossible.”

Ye Li was startled, as if he realized something, his eyes darkened, and he said, "No."

The staff looked at him in surprise.

Ye Li sneered: "If I really did this, I would be in the hands of others. You can say that Xia Jun is to protect the military salary, but others may not be able to say that Xia Jun wants to exchange the military salary to fill his own pockets. I think that The person behind the scenes, maybe as soon as I find a way to explain it to my father, he will have other evidence to prove Xia Jun's crime of exchanging military pay. At that time, my father must be furious, and even I will blame it. Besides... "He thought of something, but didn't finish.

The aide was a little worried and asked, "Your Highness is planning to ignore Xia Jun and the Xia family's life or death by doing this?"

"Abandon the army and save the commander." A trace of cruelty crossed Ye Li's face: "Now I have no choice."

……

Jiang Ruan put down the wolf hair in his hand, and wrote the delicate and charming hairpin Xiaozhuan in his hand. The young man with the mustache sitting opposite finally couldn't help asking: "If Ye Li tries to rescue him? The Xia family can't lose anything." , and will hold a grudge against you. I have been busy, and I just got this result." He has always been accustomed to using power to count everyone into it, and this is the first time he accepts other people's arrangements, and he doesn't even know every detail of the plan. Huan, just followed Jiang Ruan's instructions, but she was still at a loss as to what she wanted to do.

"They and I have long been mortal enemies, isn't it superfluous to talk about grudges?" Jiang Ruan unhurriedly picked up the rice paper and let it dry slightly, saying, "Why did Ye Li save him?"

"The collapse of the Xia family will not do Ye Li any good. His great career still depends on the support of the Xia family. If the Xia family is injured this time, it will be tantamount to breaking his left and right arms. How can he be willing?"

Jiang Ruan looked at Qi Feng, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Really, Mr. Qi, how about I make a bet with you?"

"What bet?" Qi Feng was startled slightly by her actions.

"Just bet, Ye Li will definitely not save the Xia family." Jiang Ruan said.

"How come?" Qi Feng was surprised.

"If he loses the Xia family, what he loses is just a right-hand man. He saved the Xia family, but he may end his great career." Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Ye Li is suspicious, there is such a person who can save the Xia family." Opportunity, he will hesitate instead, thinking that we have dug a hole in the back to invite you into the urn, the more hesitant, the less he dares to make a decision lightly."

"But that's just suspicion, he won't even dare to test." Although Qi Feng was surprised by Jiang Ruan's familiarity with Ye Lisi, he still insisted.

"Of course he didn't dare." Jiang Ruan laughed suddenly, turned to look at Qi Feng, her eyes were beautiful and full of meaning: "Do you know where the [-] cars of military pay are now?"

Qi Feng shook his head when he heard her question.Jin Yiwei now even forgets what he said as a military adviser, and follows Jiang Ruan wholeheartedly.For example, last night Jiang Ruan asked Jin Er to pick up the hidden guards to mix into Xia Jun's men and horses, taking advantage of the chaos to provoke conflicts between the men and horses and the officials, but he didn't let him know in advance.If Qi Feng knew Jiang Ruan had this plan earlier, he would probably have stopped it.He is used to making thorough considerations. Although Jiang Ruan's plan is linked to each other, the risk he takes is too great.It was the audacity to come up with this idea, Qi Feng only felt shocking when he thought about it afterwards.Now she asked where the [-] chariots of military pay are now, Qi Feng was even more confused.To be honest, he was also very skeptical. Eight hundred carts of military pay is not a small amount. It is impossible for Ye Li to transport them out of the capital so quickly. As for other places, the capital is so big. If you really want to investigate, it will be sooner or later. Things, Ye Li would be so stupid to keep it in his hand as a handle?
"A military salary of eight hundred chariots is not a small amount," Jiang Ruan said indifferently: "Ye Li dug a secret road in the capital a long time ago, and this secret road leads to hundreds of miles outside the capital, where there is a Ye Li The post station I arranged to help him transport all the supplies to other places. If I guessed correctly, this batch of military salaries is now in the secret passage."

Qi Feng stood up suddenly, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes: "What did you say?"

He knew about the inn outside Yeli City. Jin Yiwei had found this place a few years ago, but the secret road was unheard of. What Jiang Ruan said was so decisive that Qi Feng was immediately startled.He stared at Jiang Ruan closely: "Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone you trust to check it out." Jiang Ruan said.

"How do you know about this?" Qi Feng asked unrelentingly: "The Jinyiwei Baizhang Building has not found anything, Sansister-in-law, don't you lie to me, what is the relationship between you and Ye Li? Secretly, why haven't you revealed a trace for so many years? No matter how well Ye Li conceals it, it is impossible not to reveal a trace."

"There is no trace, that's because he has never used this secret way." Compared with Qi Feng's nervousness, Jiang Ruan is completely calm, and can even be called leisurely.She smiled lightly, but every word she said hit Qi Feng's heart like a heavy hammer.She said: "The secret path existed many years ago, but it was originally a mine tunnel left by a wealthy businessman in the middle of Beijing. After Ye Li knew about it, he expanded the secret path beyond the capital. He has never used this secret path." However, it was meant to be prepared for a rainy day. It was only waiting to be used one day to help the great cause, but now it is used in advance." Jiang Ruan looked at Qi Feng with a half-smile: "As for what you said, why do I know This matter? Forgive me for not being able to tell you, but Mr. Qi, you can rest assured that since I have entered the gate of the Jinying Palace, I will protect the Jinying Palace for a day, and will not do anything to harm the Palace. Things, since I am on the same boat as your master, why should you worry?"
