Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue blinked and reached out to take it.

When the Seventh Prince saw her extending her hand, he quickly pulled the banknote back.

Lin Xiaoyue was so angry that she glared, "What are you doing, old man? This is what we agreed on. Do you still want to eat my share?"

The Seventh Uncle deliberately kept her in suspense, repeating the same old tune, "Take out the gunpowder weapons you secretly stole. They were made under my supervision."

Lin Xiaoyue deliberately showed a wavering look, and the Seventh Uncle saw that there was a way, so he came closer. In the end, this girl was also very mean, and she curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I don't need that little money anyway."

As he said this, while the Seventh Uncle frowned slightly, he looked very Versailles, "Alas, more money is just a bunch of numbers. One more zero or one less zero doesn't make any difference to me."

"Aren't you afraid that I will seize your two sources of income in Yongzhou City?"

"Come on, let's hurt each other. First ask those retired soldiers if they agree."

The Seventh Prince originally wanted to strangle this girl's money pulse in order to control her, but he didn't expect that this girl had become so smart and knew what he cared about the most. She in turn controlled him tightly, which made him laugh and cry.

He was just feeling discouraged, but this little devil just hooked her finger at him.

Seventh Uncle: ...If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would still think that your frivolous look is an attempt to seduce me.

Tsk, Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "I know you are going to the border this time, why don't you take me with you, I have never been there before."

What? !

The Seventh Uncle was so shocked by Lin Xiaoyue's words that he gasped and shouted, "What are you talking about? Do you think going to the border is fun?"

Lin Xiaoyue patted her chest unconvincedly, "Even if you have dozens more guards, they won't be enough for me to play with. Didn't you just praise me that if I were a man, I would definitely be able to make a name for myself on the battlefield? What, you were just teasing me?"

The Seventh Prince rubbed his forehead, his head throbbing with pain. Why was this child so jumpy and unconventional? How could a woman set foot on a bloody battlefield?

"No, you are a woman, and the battlefield is not a place you can go. Now, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are there, which has made the situation more complicated and added to the danger of the war. In addition, the Jin Kingdom and Tiansheng have formed an alliance through marriage. The two countries were once as powerful as Tianyuan and fought against each other. However, the balance of the situation has been broken, and the war is about to break out. If you, a weak woman, go there, it will only add to the risk."

"I'm weak? Weak at all! No, what did you just say? The Crown Prince and the Third Prince also went to the border? What were they going to do?" Lin Xiaoyue was surprised. If it was understandable that the Crown Prince led the troops in person to establish his authority, then why was the Third Prince joining in on the fun this time?

Lin Xiaoyue has not forgotten the unintentional conflict she had with the Third Prince during her brief stay in the Imperial City. Although they had little contact, that prince was no pushover.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't feel too much pressure about offending the orthodox royal family. Moreover, it was obvious that she was not at fault in that conflict, so what could she do? At most, she would offend them.

Speaking of the two princes, the Seventh Uncle also has a headache.

It was the Emperor's wish that the Crown Prince lead the army in person, and it was a decision he made after much consultation with him.

First, the prince's prestige in the court is not enough. Although he has the emperor and the seventh uncle to protect him, prestige is something that is given by others and that you have it yourself. Therefore, the emperor hopes that the prince can take this opportunity to go to the border to gain experience and make some achievements to deter those old ministers who rely on the prince's good temper and are self-righteous.

It's not that the emperor can't get rid of these ministers who receive salaries but do nothing all day long, but he still hopes that the prince can do it himself.

Second, the emperor hoped that by having the crown prince lead the army in person, he could win over the hearts of the soldiers at the border.

This was not done to guard against the Seventh Uncle. After all, the Seventh Uncle joined the army at the age of sixteen, starting as the most inconspicuous soldier. At the age of twenty-five, he was promoted to general through various military exploits, big and small.

During this period, no one in the military camp knew the identity of the Seventh Uncle's royal family. To put it bluntly, if he accidentally died in battle during this period, no one would care and the matter would disappear into thin air. Therefore, the Seventh Uncle's status as the god of war in the hearts of the soldiers at the border was unshakable.

To put it bluntly, if the Seventh Prince's uncle had intended for the Emperor to sit on that throne, there would have been no place for the current emperor long ago.

The Seventh Uncle's glorious military exploits and his reputation were accumulated through one bloody battle after another, and he deserves the reputation.

Before sending the crown prince to lead the army in person, the emperor seriously discussed the matter with his seventh uncle and obtained his approval before announcing the matter during the morning court session.

But why was there a third prince when he came out? This is really a difficult situation.

During the morning court session, the emperor announced in front of all the civil and military officials that the crown prince would personally lead the army. After the ban was lifted, the third prince returned to the court and immediately realized the emperor's intention to build momentum for the crown prince. While feeling indignant and resentful, he immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to allow him to go to the border with the crown prince to make a contribution to defending the border of Dayuan.

What were the original words? The Seventh Prince could not remember them, but they were very eloquent and very inspiring. Not only did the ministers who supported the Third Prince's lineage submit memorials to agree, but even those courtiers who did not take sides and remained neutral were deeply moved by the Third Prince's impassioned statement.

Therefore, the emperor was put in a difficult position, but he could not be too blatantly partial to the crown prince, otherwise there would always be some uneasy censors who would jump out and accuse the emperor of being too partial and not treating the princes equally.

Each finger has its own length, so it is inevitable that parents will be partial to one or two of them. For example, if an ordinary family has many children, they will always favor one or two of them, let alone the royal family who are on a high platform.

But the emperor also knew that there were some things he could do but could not do in public, otherwise it would inevitably cause turmoil among all parties. That was why he had no choice but to agree to the third prince's request.

Therefore, when the Seventh Uncle told Lin Xiaoyue the whole story with a melancholy look on his face, hoping that she could understand that the border was no longer a good place, and retreat when she knew it was difficult, "Girl, you don't know the cruelty of the battlefield. The border is in chaos and a large number of refugees from the two countries are pouring in. You'd better give up your fantasy as soon as possible."

However, Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes in front of him to express her speechlessness, but still insisted on her decision.

The Seventh Uncle was glad that he was sitting down, otherwise he would have been so angry at this wild girl that he would have fallen headfirst.

What sin had he committed? He had finally worked day and night to throw two hot potatoes to several generals at the border and asked them to help watch the people. He readjusted the military system and deployment, arranged camps and defense lines, and adjusted the border defense system and guard ethics according to the existing soldiers to ensure that the invasion of the two countries could be reported quickly.

After arranging many matters, he suddenly had the idea to come to this girl to see the retired soldiers. As a result, he got himself into trouble again, which made him so depressed that he had a heart attack.
