After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

But to the surprise of the two princes, ever since Shi Neng was arrested, the rumors in the capital were almost all true. The Prince of Qi and the Prince of Ning wanted to cover up the truth, so they wanted to kill Shi Neng to silence him.

Outside the Dali Temple, many men, women, young and old gathered.

They didn't make any noise, they just took the wooden fish and knocked it.

On the first day, they knocked all afternoon.

The next day, more people came and knocked all day long.

On the third day, more and more people came and began to work in three shifts, knocking day and night.

The runners from the Dali Temple tried to drive them away, but they found that the flood had flushed the Dragon King Temple, and the leader was actually the wife of the Dali Temple's chief.

Following behind were the wives and old ladies of royal and noble families.

In addition, there were some literati and ladies sitting on both sides.

If you say they are elegant, in order to avoid suspicion, they beat a wooden fish and had someone bring a screen, with the man sitting on the left and the woman on the right, sitting on both sides.

Three more days passed like this.

In addition to believers in the capital, believers who came from other places to provide support also gathered outside the Dali Temple.

Shi Neng's disciples were responsible for serving porridge and burning incense every day, leading everyone in morning prayers, and giving sutra lectures three times a day.

The people of the Darong Dynasty all had some faith in religion.

Although they may believe in Bodhisattva when Bodhisattva is effective, and believe in the Jade Emperor when the Jade Emperor is effective.

So when the great monk preaches, they want to listen.

They also want to watch the old master perform his rituals.

Isn't it just a matter of spending three more incense sticks? People can afford it.

What's more, Yongding Zen Temple has plenty of money, and not only does it offer incense, it also provides porridge!

That's great.

The entrance to the Dali Temple, which was already jam-packed with people, was now crowded day and night.

After all, Yongding Zen Temple is an imperial temple. How could ordinary people have the chance to listen to the great monks preach on ordinary days?

This trip is worth it for the common people who live three hundred miles away.

The King of Qi was dumbfounded.

He originally wanted to kill the monk.

But now it seems that this broken monk not only cannot be killed, but must be worshipped well!

So he had to go to the Dali Temple prison in person and ask the monk to be released.

As a result, the poor monk became pretentious.

He said he was in seclusion practicing, and everything would be discussed after he had completed his practice.

The King of Qi was so angry that he said he would carry him out today! !

But the Dali Temple Minister advised the King of Qi not to be too impulsive, to avoid causing trouble for him after the monk left.

Didn’t you see that Prince Ning doesn’t show up at the moment?

Now that things have come to this, let the monk stay in jail for now.

Anyway, the prison door is open for him, so he can leave whenever he wants.

The King of Qi thought about it and felt that what the Dali Temple Minister said made sense, so the matter was dropped.

But as soon as he left, the Dali Temple Minister sent someone to send the message out.

Where should the message be sent?

Of course it’s Liaocheng.

By the way, this Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was actually promoted in the past six months.

Originally, he was just a Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, named Rong Xinran. He was one of the people who went to investigate the case of the Tongzhi of Liaocheng colluding with bandits.

.........

In fact, the reason why the King of Qi and the King of Ning stayed in the capital and did not leave was mainly to build momentum for themselves in the capital.

If one of them went to Liaocheng, the other would definitely leave as well.

But the problem is that both of them expect the other to leave first, so no one leaves.

“Your Majesty, if we continue to drag on like this, I’m afraid it won’t be appropriate.

At present, we have almost won over all the people in our capital who should be won over.

It will be difficult to win over those who have not been won over. King Kang must have already deployed a lot of people in the capital a long time ago!

In addition, the King of Qi still has many old ministers and former nobles who support him... We are afraid that we have missed the opportunity here in the capital.

Otherwise, you should go to Liaocheng and resolve the issues there first, then maybe we can have more bargaining chips.

After all, whether it's the emperor himself or... as long as it's in our hands, we will have more legitimacy."

The person who spoke was a retainer of Prince Ning, named Zhang Junliang.

Although he had never served as an official in the court, he knew the situation in the court almost perfectly.

However, he never expected that this time, King Kang could win over Shi Neng to protect him without saying a word.

You know, although Shi Neng is no longer an important official in the court, he is still very influential among the people.

Now, Prince Ning’s popularity among the people is not as high as Prince Kang’s.

The ministers’ support for him is not as great as that of the King of Qi, so if he wants to succeed, he can’t drag it on any longer.

In Zhang Junliang's opinion, the only way out for Prince Ning now is to capture Liaocheng earlier than Prince Qi.

"Okay," King Ning thought for a moment and agreed to Zhang Junliang's suggestion, "Then I'll listen to you. Tomorrow I'll leave for Liaocheng!"

Because to get from the capital to Liaocheng, one has to pass through Qizhou.

Therefore, early the next morning, King Ning took only two guards and Zhang Junliang, disguised themselves as wandering people on the road, and hurriedly set out for Liaocheng.

When passing through Qizhou, he was interrogated by people from the Qi Palace for dozens of times, but Prince Ning was able to dodge them every time.

This is not because Prince Ning’s disguise skills are so good.

It’s because... Prince Ning always told others that he was five feet five inches tall, so anyone who had never seen Prince Ning would think that he was five feet five inches tall.

In fact, how can we describe his height? It is very compact.

For a man who is only four feet five inches tall, the riding stool he uses to mount a horse is much higher than that of ordinary people.

So even if the people in Prince Qi’s mansion would deliberately pay attention to see if there were any passers-by who were tall, mighty, and noble, looking like a prince... no one could have guessed that someone could lie about his height by as little as 30 centimeters.

Ever since.

After riding for two days, King Ning arrived in Liaozhou safely.

But when they were about to reach Liaocheng, Zhang Junliang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Since we entered Liaozhou, there have been few people on the road in broad daylight, but why... the closer we get to Liaocheng, the more groups of people there are on the road? And most of them are men, with almost no women or children..."

There are few people, which is understandable.

After all, Liaocheng was under siege, and the people were afraid of a sudden fight, so they went out less, which was normal.

But the closer we got to Liaocheng, the more people there suddenly appeared...which made people suspicious.

Prince Ning's style of doing things is not reckless, but he also doesn't like to guess.

After hearing what Zhang Junliang said, he directly asked the guards to stop the four or five people walking in front of them.

Guess, what's there to guess? Why not just ask directly? !

"Hey! Why are you walking on the road in broad daylight?!" asked King Ning.

The five people who were asked were all stunned.

One of the tallest and strongest men sneered and replied, "This... Master, what you asked is also funny. We don't travel during the day, so are we going to travel at night?"

".......My Lord.......My Lord means that Liaocheng has been besieged, why are you still going there?" King Ning almost blurted out.

The man said "Oh" and then explained: "Master, that's what you're asking. Then what are you doing in Liaocheng?"

"Who is asking who?!" Zhang Junliang shouted, "When the master asks you, you should answer honestly. How can you ask the master? Who are you?"

"Okay, okay, you are all masters. We heard it, we just heard it, we can't guarantee its authenticity~!" said the middle-aged man.

Zhang Junliang snorted again: "Hurry up and say it, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, we are from the country of Liaozhou. We heard that there was going to be a war outside Liaocheng and they were short of people, so we came here." The man answered simply.

".......Shouldn't you stay away from a war? Why are you rushing to die?" Zhang Junliang's face was full of disbelief.

The man laughed loudly: "Master, what you said is right~~~~ You may not die in the war, but you will definitely die if you have no money. It seems that you don't know~~~"

"What do you know?" King Ning asked curiously.

"There's money to be made from fighting," said the shortest of the five men. "I heard that if you take the head of the enemy general, you can get 100,000 taels of silver!"

"...........Which general's head is so valuable?!" King Ning asked with a cold face.

The tall young man replied, ".......I heard that the heads of the two generals are worth 100,000 taels each."

Prince Ning took a breath.

Then he asked, "Which team do you want to join?"

The tall one replied, "We'll talk about it when the time comes. We'll go to whichever company pays more, right brothers?"

The other four people all said that what the eldest brother said was right.

"Let's go!" Zhang Junliang waved his hand at the tall man.

The tall man said "Hey", then looked at the few people twice, and then walked away with the others, arm in arm.

Zhang Junliang approached Prince Ning and said, "Your Majesty, I think what these people said may not be true."

"I also think so," said King Ning, "how can the head of my eldest brother-in-law be worth 100,000 taels? He doesn't deserve it!"

........“No, Your Highness. What I mean is that, although what that person said seems to be flawless, just look at the people on this road. There are too many of them. And each of them looks capable and able to fight…” Zhang Junliang still had doubts.

But King Ning sneered: "What nonsense you are talking about! They volunteered to go to the war. Who dares to go if they can't fight or do anything? Okay, don't think too much, we will know when we go there!"

After saying this, King Ning squeezed the horse's belly and rode away.

Zhang Junliang thought about it and felt that what King Ning said made some sense.

Then I thought that maybe I was too nervous these days, so I began to doubt everything I saw.

This is really not good. It needs to be changed.
