The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

In the study room.

Wu Jie's face was full of bitterness, but Rong Li beside him had an admiring look on her face and said, "My husband, this state ruler is young and handsome, and he is decisive. If he is really in charge of the Song Dynasty in the future, there may really be a chance to revive the Song Dynasty. And your ideal has always been to become a famous general for revival. I think you should seriously consider it."

Wu Jie took a deep breath and gently touched Rong Li's cheek. "I don't want to be ungrateful. Zhao Changlin has done us a favor. Let's see Zhao Changlin's reaction first, and then make a decision."

……

"Young Master, what exactly did you write in the letter to Wu Jie? When did you write it?" Old Huang followed Ye Feng out of the general's mansion, his face full of curiosity. He saw that Ye Feng's face was filled with a strong smile. He was afraid that the people hiding in the dark could not see his expression, so he deliberately laughed a few times.

It seemed that he would always feel itchy unless he got an answer.

"Where do I find the time to write a letter? I just wrote it on the spur of the moment. It's just a blank piece of paper with nothing written on it." Ye Feng laughed and leaned close to Lao Huang's ear.

When Old Huang heard that Ye Feng took out a blank piece of paper, he was stunned at first, then looked at with contempt, and said: "Young Master, I find that you are really treacherous. You are clearly trying to make Zhao Changlin suspicious of Wu Jie. Even if Wu Jie is unwilling to submit to the court, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Changlin County in the future."

"This is called the best strategy, you know nothing!"

Ye Feng was too lazy to argue with Lao Huang.

……

At midnight.

Ever since receiving the report from the spy planted in the General's Mansion, the letter Ye Feng handed to Zhao Changlin was a blank sheet of paper, and Zhao Changlin's face turned unsightly.

What kind of shameful secret do Ye Feng and Wu Jie have that they would only use a piece of white paper to send a message? It is very likely that the white paper has been processed.

"My lord, why did you summon me so late at night?"

At this moment, Jia Yu's voice was heard outside the study.

His brows were furrowed. If it wasn't an urgent matter, Zhao Changlin wouldn't have sent someone to his mansion to invite him in the middle of the night.

"Ye Feng just went to the General's Mansion to meet Wu Jie. The two first exchanged letters, and then met for a very short time. He left the General's Mansion with a smile on his face. I wonder what the military advisor thinks about this?" Zhao Changlin looked at Jia Yu. He didn't trust anyone except Jia Yu.

Because he knew very well what Jia Yu was thinking. He was a strategist in troubled times who wanted to disrupt the entire Song Dynasty and even the Nine Provinces.

Jia Yu has been following Zhao Changlin for so many years, and his purpose is very clear. He wants Zhao Changlin to usurp the throne and overthrow the entire Song Dynasty.

Jia Yu frowned slightly and said, "My lord, in my opinion, this is most likely Ye Feng's trick. He wants to sow discord between you and General Wu Jie, making you suspicious of each other so that he can reap the benefits. Of course, another possibility is not ruled out, that Wu Jie surrenders to the court. This possibility is very small. After all, Wu Jie has an arrogant personality. He has become neither male nor female now because of Emperor Xuan of Song. He should hate the Song Dynasty."

"You are wrong!" Zhao Changlin immediately shook his head. He knew Wu Jie too well. He asked, "Do you know why Wu Jie was willing to come to Yunshui City and join me?"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

Jia Yu really didn't know why Wu Jie came to Yunshui City. He only knew that he had offended Emperor Xuan of Song, was castrated, and was imprisoned in Tianlao. As for how he destroyed his own appearance and came to Yunshui City to seek refuge with Zhao Changlin, he really didn't know the reason.

"At a young age, Wu Jie was granted the title of General Hu Ben and guarded the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty. He had made great military achievements. He was loyal to the Song Dynasty. The reason why he offended Emperor Xuan of Song was because Emperor Xuan of Song wanted to train him and reward him with Princess Yan Ning. But Wu Jie only had his first wife Rong Li in his heart. He refused on the spot. Princess Yan Ning was also a loyal and brave woman. She jumped into the lake and committed suicide on the spot. Emperor Xuan of Song was furious and castrated him. All the palace maids and eunuchs who knew about this incident were sentenced to death."

"When Wu Jie learned that Princess Yan Ning had committed suicide by jumping into the lake, he felt guilty. If he hadn't known that his wife Rong Li was in my residence, he wouldn't have come to seek refuge with me."

Zhao Changlin said slowly, Wu Jie was named General Hu Ben at a young age, leading an army of 200,000 to guard the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty. He was upright, strong and brave. With his character, he never thought of rebelling.

"I see!"

Jia Yu suddenly realized. No wonder Wu Jie had been unhappy for so many years even though he had been training the Changlin Army and staying in Yunshui City.

"What do you plan to do, my lord?"

Jia Yu immediately looked at Zhao Changlin and asked.

"I will summon Wu Jie tomorrow to test him and then make plans. I hope he won't let me down!" A ruthless look flashed in the depths of Zhao Changlin's eyes.

"My lord, if you rashly ask Wu Jie, will he think that you don't trust him and are suspicious of him? What if he really has no dealings with Ye Feng?" Jia Yu frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"Humph! I have been planning for so many years, and I can only succeed, not fail. Any uncertain factors must be eliminated. When necessary, I would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go!"

Zhao Changlin's voice was stern and his aura was icy cold.

"My lord is wise!"

What Jia Yu likes most is Zhao Changlin's ruthlessness, who will do anything to achieve his goal. In his opinion, only such a person can become a great leader.

……

sunset.

Ye Feng walked in Yunshui City with Dashan and Lao Huang.

He has always had a big doubt in his heart: How can Zhao Changlin afford to support 300,000 Changlin troops when he only controls Changlin County and six cities?

You know, in addition to these Changlin troops, Zhao Changlin also has the garrisons of each city and various guard teams. Where does his money come from?

After Ye Feng's repeated inquiries, various merchants and restaurants in Yunshui City also reported that the taxes were very low, and Zhao Changlin treated them very well without any unnecessary levies or taxes.

However, Ye Feng took Dashan and Lao Huang and continued to visit the homes of the people in Yunshui City, and finally he discovered the secret.

This Zhao Changlin was really sinister and ruthless. He did not have any extra taxes, but secretly ordered people to plant poppies on a large scale and make something similar to poppy fruit, so that the people of Yunshui City could indulge in it and have a steady stream of money. His purpose was to plunder the people's pockets.

If Ye Feng's prediction is correct, the poppy-like thing made by Zhao Changlin is probably not only sold in Changlin County, but also in other places in the entire Song Dynasty. There is a high probability that there is a corresponding industrial chain. Otherwise, relying on the power of a county controlled by Zhao Changlin, it is simply impossible to support the consumption of such a large army in his hands.

Ye Feng was impressed by Zhao Changlin, who could think of such a way to make money. Even Ye Feng was a little surprised. Who made this Kyushu poppy fruit?

Whoosh...

Just as Ye Feng and the other three walked out of a civilian's house, they heard footsteps. Not far away, nearly a hundred men in black, with murderous intent, rushed towards Ye Feng quickly. The aura of each of them was at the innate realm. Two of them rushed towards Dashan, obviously wanting to drag Dashan to prevent him from helping them.
