After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Chapter 239: Killing the donkey

Under the gaze of the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, and the Emperor, Prince An, the Minister of War spoke eloquently:

"He has won many battles over the years, and his achievements are greater than his master's. If he has any ideas, he can just raise his arms and call for help. Those rough warriors will definitely follow him. This is one reason!"

"In the past ten years, he has been promoted from a commoner to a first-rank general. The emperor has treated him with great kindness. He does not share the emperor's worries, does not show his loyalty, and is still as self-willed as before, arrogant and conceited. Loyal people can be reused even if they are not capable enough. People like this who are difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery should be eliminated to reassure the people. This is the second reason!"

"After the peace talks are signed, he will become arrogant. If the emperor appoints him as a super general, he will be handing over the military power of the Three Kingdoms to the emperor. If he is not appointed as a super general, he will be dissatisfied with the emperor. This is a major hidden danger! This is the third!"

The Grand Tutor glanced at the Minister of War. These three points seemed to be sonorous and well-reasoned. In fact, they were all nonsense. In the final analysis, he was afraid that the emperor would really appoint a super-class general, which would shake the interests of the Minister of War.

Of course, since the Ghost-faced General was not one of their own, he was inclined to get rid of him.

Prince An also said: "Your Majesty, we have signed a fifty-year peace agreement with Qi State. There will be no war in these fifty years. Why do we still keep such a general? He holds military power and has prestige in the army. We must be on guard against him!"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, after the peace treaty is concluded and the letter of credence is signed, I will give him a glass of poisoned wine!"

"Your Majesty!"

After leaving the palace, Prince An got on the carriage with an expressionless face.

He asked his attendants: "Where is the man named Meng Cheng who was captured five years ago?"

"He is still imprisoned in a farm outside Beijing."

"Has he confessed again?"

"That man is just a country farmer, and we couldn't see his face clearly that day, so we really couldn't confirm his identity. Your Majesty, when the nationwide killing order was issued, anyone who looked similar or suspicious was included in the list of strangulation. Many people didn't know why they were caught in the hunt and fled everywhere. According to Meng Cheng, that man killed four assassins in front of him by himself, and he had killed many people before. With that skill, it couldn't be that dandy Shi Yunzhang! And according to our combined information from many sources, that man fell off a cliff and died. It doesn't matter whether he was or not, he's a dead man!"

Prince An snorted, "Of course I know that dude doesn't have the ability. Is there still no news about Ruan Dong and Ruan Xi?"

"No, but the daughter of the Luo family is alive and well. I guess they have already..."

"waste!"

"Your Majesty, are we still going to get rid of the daughter of the Luo family? When are we going to take action against the Luo family?"

Prince An touched his chin and said, "No hurry. It's not appropriate to be too ostentatious now. Let's make preparations first. When I become the crown prince, the Luo family will be my money bag! As for the daughter of the Luo family, she is an insignificant person anyway. Let's deal with her after I become the crown prince."

Naturally, these things that happened in the capital did not affect Meng Yu in Jiazhou City for the time being.

She has grown up and is no longer confined to one place.

She also helped Zhao Susu explore three caravan routes, and even a cross-border route.

The Zhou Dynasty's tea was famous throughout the world, but due to the long journey and various reasons, the caravans that wanted to open up this tea road in the past almost never returned and suffered heavy losses. Since then, no one has opened this tea road specifically.

Two years ago, Meng Yu followed the caravan led by Zhao Lei and took this route.

After nine months, they encountered many things along the way. Several times, the caravan encountered dangers that almost wiped out their entire army, but because of Meng Yu's presence and early warnings, they avoided it time and time again.

In fact, Meng Yu did not tell them that the real danger was that she had already rushed over at night to alert the system to the first and second level of danger, and to eliminate all the vicious robbers who had killed innocent people.

As for those scenes that seemed extremely thrilling to Zhao Lei and his group, they were classified as level three or four danger levels by the system. They were just whetstones that she deliberately left behind for the caravan to grow.

Many people originally looked down on this child who was only about ten years old, thinking that it was ridiculous to bring a child with him in the caravan. Isn't this not taking the lives of the brothers seriously? Traveling as a merchant is so dangerous. It is common to encounter robbers and local tyrants. Who will take care of a child then?

But later on, even on where to set up camp, they would subconsciously come to ask Meng Yu for his opinion.

They only knew that Meng Yu was skilled and thought she was a great martial artist, but they didn't know that she was already a martial arts master, and a martial arts master who had passed each level through countless trials and tribulations with her combat skills and wisdom, and was invincible among her peers.

It’s no wonder they couldn’t think of it. Meng Yu is petite and cute, fair and pretty, and looks harmless. When she smiles, she even shows a few teeth. Who can resist such a smile?

Everyone treats her like a daughter and a sister.

Once a trade route is paved, the best route will be to follow it in the future.

When we arrived in Zhou State, we obtained the tea permit approved by the government, had a travel permit and a contact person, signed a contract, and established a long-term cooperative relationship, and the deal was done.

The journey is long and the way ahead is unknown, and one needs to find one's own route. Not only the route, but also negotiations with all relevant people, the government, or local authorities are required. Because it is the first negotiation, there are many difficulties and one will encounter difficulties, harassment, and even rejection. This is the difficulty that a caravan faces when it first starts trading.

There are also some people who go through great trouble to get to the destination, but fail to make a deal and return empty-handed, or have to settle for the next best thing.

But once the route is cleared, it will be much easier to come back later.

Through these trips and experiences, Meng Yu gained knowledge, broadened her horizons, and consolidated her foundation. She also saw more customs and cultures while traveling all over the country, and expanded her business.

She really likes this feeling, constantly growing, becoming stronger, and having more and more assets under her control.

Later, Pei Mingqiu sent Fang Fu to buy golden medicine from Meng Yu twice.

Meng Yu did not refuse and specially refined a few pots of medicine, all of which had the full properties of the medicinal materials and excellent effects. He said he was selling them, but in fact he was giving them away.

And Fang Fu always secretly left a stack of silver bills somewhere.

The master has said that this medicine is extremely effective and is hard to buy outside at a hundred times the price. It is a huge favor that the little girl is willing to sell it to them, and we must not let the little girl suffer any loss in terms of money.

The most recent time, Fang Fu actually asked Meng Yu hesitantly whether her master could make a drug that could cause someone to fake death.

Meng Yu was surprised for a moment and gave an affirmative reply.

Two days later, she gave Fang Fu a drug that would cause him to fake his death, and Fang Fu left as if he had found a treasure.

Court, peace talks are not easy.
