The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Chapter 144: First Meeting with Wei Changkong

The guard said respectfully to his superior, "General, Master Su is here..."

Li Rui's eyes finally moved away from the two beauties.

Bai Chuxiao and Xia Fan also concealed their expressions and bowed, saying, "Greetings, General."

Li Rui looked at them for a moment, then waved his hand. After the dancers left, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the consequences of deceiving this general?"

He arrested a member of the original Chamber of Commerce, but that person was powerless. Yunzhou had been in a state of no return for so long that all business was at a standstill. The original food reserves were no longer sufficient.

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "I am sincerely helping the general to raise food."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows, "What's your name?"

Bai Chuxiao threw a token over and said, "My last name is Su Zui'an."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows, "I have never heard of such a person in the Su family."

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "The Su family has a complex network of connections. My branch was mainly responsible for the business in Jiangnan in the early years. Jiangnan has become more prosperous. Although I am not very talented, I also own dozens of grain stores."

Li Rui said coldly, "Then why would you help this general?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Firstly, I admire the general's righteous act, and secondly, I am a businessman, so naturally I am here for the money.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes, obviously there was something wrong. He was no longer short of money...

Seeing this, Bai Chuxiao added, "Of course, if the general can succeed in starting the rebellion, I hope that the general can hand over all the trade routes in the Yunzhou area to me."

Li Rui sneered, "Mr. Su really knows how to do business, but now it's just Mr. Su's empty talk."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "As long as the money is not a problem, I will raise 500,000 dan of grain for the general within a month."

Li Rui snorted coldly, "This general will not be short of that little money, can you really raise it?"

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "General, just wait and see."

Li Rui said in a deep voice, "Then I will wait for good news from Master Su."

Then he didn't say anything more and sent someone to see them out.

After leaving the government office for a distance, Xia Fan noticed someone following him secretly and whispered, "Princess, do you want to shake him off?"

Bai Chuxiao sneered, "No need, if you want to follow me, just follow me. I will ask someone to transfer the food."

Xia Fan frowned slightly, "Princess, do you really want to give food to this damn mighty general?"

Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "Do you think he will live until the day when the food arrives? Chu Wenzheng and his men blocked Yunzhou and obviously don't care about the lives of the people of Yunzhou. The people of Yunzhou need this batch of food to survive the winter."

Xia Fan whispered, "But where can we get so much food?"

Bai Chuxiao spoke slowly, "Of course we will go to nearby Changzhou to transfer them. We will inform His Majesty later."

Although the Golden Order and the Imperial Sword could not mobilize the garrison, it would be no problem to ask the governor of Changzhou to collect some food and transport it over.

The people in the dark followed them for two days and found nothing unusual, so they slowly retreated.

In a good room in Lan County Inn, a man in black bowed and said, "Princess, I found Wei Changkong and the others."

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Just find it first."

However, the situation of the Yunzhou commander was not very good. Although a small part of the Yunzhou guards did not rebel, it was obviously not easy for him to lead his men to avoid Chu Wenzheng's search in the situation where the enemy was outnumbered.

Fortunately, this mighty general suddenly gathered the people to make trouble, and there were many other people who wanted to occupy the mountain as kings. He also pretended to be a rebellious citizen and occupied a remote and poor town in the west. For a while, he was not found by Chu Wenzheng's people.

When Bai Chuxiao and Xia Fan arrived outside the town, they saw a few listless soldiers guarding the town.

Bai Chuxiao didn't waste any words and directly showed the golden medal order, "Open the city gate!"

Several soldiers were shocked. After all, they were regular soldiers of the imperial court. They understood the meaning of the token "I am here in person". Someone immediately turned around and reported.

The other young generals didn't say anything and opened the city gate directly.

As soon as I entered the city, a man in his early thirties wearing a gray and white long gown came up to me and asked, "Who are you, young lady? Why do you have His Majesty's golden medal?"

At this critical moment, he couldn't even send a letter. Why would His Majesty send a delicate girl?

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and reported her name

The man was startled and spoke slowly, "It turned out to be the Princess of Yan"

Could it be that the King of Yan has brought his troops? However, the war in the northwest could not end so quickly. However, he did not forget that this woman was made a princess because of her meritorious service in killing enemies in the north. She was not a weak woman, so he put his mind at ease for a while.

Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "Are you Wei Changkong?"

Wei Changkong smiled bitterly, "The princess has found this, so she must have known it. It's my incompetence."

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "How many troops did the general bring with him?"

Wei Changkong sighed, "Less than 20,000"

Then he continued, "Prince An has evil ambitions. Has the princess brought anyone here?"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head. "I came here with the Crown Prince to deal with the epidemic and the people's grievances. When I arrived, I found that the Yunzhou Guards had rebelled. The Crown Prince is still unaware of this and is dealing with Jiang Ming in Yunzhou City."

Wei Changkong's face turned pale. "That's bad. The ones blocking the roads in and out of Yunzhou are Prince An's personal soldiers. Together with the rebellious Yunzhou guards, Prince An already has an army of 100,000."

This army of 100,000 is certainly not comparable to the mob of General Mighty. General Mighty has assembled those troops, but only 30,000 of them are truly capable of fighting.

Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to His Majesty. I hope it's still in time."

Wei Changkong asked in a deep voice, "But what I find strange is that most of the people gathered by the mighty general outside are ordinary people. If Prince An wanted to kill them, he could have killed them long ago. Why did he keep them?"

Bai Chuxiao pondered for a moment, "Chu Wenzheng doesn't trust the Yunzhou Guards at all. Now the Yunzhou Guards are focusing on guarding the Hua County area. He kept Li Rui and his group just to confuse the eyes of this concubine and the prince. I'm afraid he doesn't plan to use these Yunzhou troops at all, but has other arrangements."

Bai Chuxiao had a bad feeling in her heart and asked in a deep voice, "If Deputy Commander Sun Xiang died, would you be able to take back the Yunzhou Guards?"

It was unknown when the imperial army would arrive. They were now in Yunzhou City and might lose their lives if they were not careful. They had to gather their forces again.

Wei Changkong pondered for a moment, "If the princess can save their lives, we should give it a try."

Xia Fan whispered, "Killing Sun Xiang is easy, but once Sun Xiang dies, Chu Wen Zheng will know that we have discovered his plot, and the princess and the prince will be in danger."

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "You are right, so we should kill Li Rui first. Chu Wenzheng and Jiang Ming only think that I am here to persuade them to disperse, so we should do it in front of them. Moreover, I seriously suspect that Chu Wenzheng sent someone to deceive Li Rui. If we take over Yunzhou Guard first, I am afraid that Li Rui will immediately attack us under the banner of Chu Wenzheng."

Xia Fan frowned and asked, "What is Chu Wenzheng trying to do?"

Bai Chuxiao sneered, "He is determined to stop us from leaving Yunzhou."
