"Your Excellency, the Mi family of the Great Xia Dynasty sent someone with 500,000 taels of gold. My father ordered me to come and ask Your Excellency to go to the Su family to discuss the matter."

Su Hong's face was full of excitement. He really didn't expect that the Mi family of the Great Xia Dynasty would actually send someone with 500,000 taels of gold to redeem Mi Heng.

Five hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. Most of the time, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to five million taels of silver.

Five million taels of silver is almost half a year's tax revenue for Nanjun.

According to the current standards of the Song Dynasty, the annual cost of one soldier is about fifty taels of silver. Now, five hundred thousand taels of silver is equivalent to the annual cost of an army of one hundred thousand, which is really a large sum.

"Your father is also cautious. There is nothing to discuss. He just put away the 500,000 taels of gold and put Mi Heng back." Ye Feng knew Su Chen's character. If he did not follow Su Hong on this trip, he was afraid that he would bring the envoy of the Mi family of the Great Xia Dynasty to his courtyard. So he simply followed Su Hong outside.

Following Su Hong all the way, they soon arrived at the Su family’s mansion.

Everyone in the Su family knew Ye Feng, not to mention that with Su Hong leading the way, they arrived outside the reception room without any obstruction. They saw fifteen huge boxes placed there. The boxes were all open, and inside were neatly arranged gold bars with the word "Xia" engraved on them. They were the official gold of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ye Feng had an indifferent expression as he walked into the reception room. He saw Su Chen sitting in the seat next to him. Next to him sat an armored general named Mi Pei, who had an ugly look on his face.

This matter will probably spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty in no time, and by then, their Mi family will surely become the laughing stock of many people on the streets.

Seeing Ye Feng coming to the reception room, Su Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng: "General Mi, this is the ruler of our Song Dynasty. Mi Heng of your Mi family lost 500,000 taels of gold because of a bet with him. Su Chen dare not act on his own, so he will come to inspect the gold."

Mi Pei narrowed his eyes slightly, with surprise in his eyes. Ever since he came to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, he has heard countless rumors about Ye Feng.

He was a little bit unconvinced when he learned that Ye Feng was only in his early twenties. Now that he saw the real person, he couldn't help but be shocked. He was really a handsome man.

"Your Majesty, I am Mi Pei from the Mi family of the Great Xia Dynasty. We are sending you 500,000 taels of gold. Please release Mi Heng."

When Mi Pei left Weicheng, Mi Lan had warned him not to cause trouble again when he came to the Song Dynasty. Even if he wanted to deal with the state king Ye Feng, he had to wait for a chance in the future.

Their Mi family has indeed been somewhat arrogant and domineering in recent years. After Mi Lan returned, he reflected deeply and secretly felt fortunate. It was Murong Wan'er's "malicious reminder" that made him realize the truth.

Murong Boheng is not an incompetent emperor. On the contrary, he is a man of great talent and strategy. If the Mi family continues to develop in this way, they will fall into an irretrievable situation if they are not careful.

"Master Su, hand Mi Heng over to General Mi." Ye Feng looked indifferent. There was no point in him detaining Mi Heng. Now that he had exchanged it for 500,000 taels of gold, the value of Mi Heng was really fully utilized.

"As ordered!"

Su Chen nodded to Su Hong who was not far away.

Su Hong understood what he meant and walked outside. After a while, he saw Su Peng and Mi Heng coming into the reception room.

Mi Heng had seen the five hundred thousand taels of gold outside, and his heart could not help but tremble. When he saw that it was Mi Pei who came to pick him up personally, he was dejected and said, "Fourth Uncle, I have brought shame to the Mi family."

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. It's just a mere 500,000 taels of gold. Our Mi family can afford to lose it. Come back to Weicheng with me." Although Mi Pei was angry with Mi Heng, because of his arrogance, the Mi family lost 500,000 taels of gold and lost face.

The reason why the Mi family was able to stand firm in the Great Xia Dynasty was precisely because of their resilience. Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the inability to recover after failure.

"Lord Zhenguo, Master Su, since I have already received the person, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye!" Mi Pei stood up, and the armor on his body made a clanging sound. He clasped his fists towards Ye Feng and Su Chen, and walked out of the reception room with Mi Heng.

"Hong'er, please see General Mi and the others off."

Su Chen instructed Su Hong.

"Of the five hundred thousand taels of gold, your Su family will keep three hundred thousand taels, and the remaining two hundred thousand taels of gold will be sent to Jinling City and added to the national treasury."

Ye Feng knew very well that Su Chen raising so much military rations for him would inevitably cause economic problems for the Su family. He naturally couldn't let down the Su family's sincere heart. Three hundred thousand taels of gold was almost enough to solve the Su family's urgent needs.

"Thank you, Lord Zhen Guo!"

Su Chen did not refuse. He transferred almost all the grain stored in the Su family of Nanjun to Ye Feng as military rations. Now that he had the gold, he could go to other counties to buy it, which would relieve the pressure on the Su family.

……

As soon as Ye Feng returned to his courtyard, Madam Xinling quickly came to him and said, "There is a general who claims to be Zhao Mu's deputy general. He said he wants to see you for something urgent."

"Oh?"

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Knowing that Zhao Hui and Zhao Chenchen had criticized Zhao Pengju one after another, he had been keeping his troops in place, just waiting for news from Zhao Mu.

He immediately took a step and quickly came to the living room, where he saw a middle-aged man wearing armor. His cultivation was at the peak of the innate realm, and he was only one step away from becoming a junior grandmaster.

"General Tu Kun pays his respects to the King of Zhenguo."

Tu Kun was shocked. He knew from Zhao Mu that Ye Feng was very young, but he didn't expect him to be so young. He couldn't help but doubt in his heart. Did he really take back the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, destroy King Ye, and destroy Nanyue Temple? He really didn't believe it.

"General Tu, there's no need to be so polite. Have you arrived at Minghua Pass?" Ye Feng asked straight to the point without any delay.

"Zhenguojun is really good at predicting things. General Zhao asked me to report to Zhenguojun. As long as Zhenguojun leads the army to the outside of Minghua Pass, he will find a way to cooperate with you from inside and outside to open the city gate directly." Tu Kun said to Ye Feng.

"Go back and tell Zhao Mu that I will lead the army to the battle tomorrow morning. You must not reveal your identity at Minghua Pass and must ensure your own safety."

Although Ye Feng paid close attention to whether Zhao Mu could cooperate with him from inside and outside, he was also very clear that Nie Yan had been through many battles, and the other party would definitely feel it as long as there was something slightly abnormal. At that time, Zhao Mu and the other 30,000 soldiers would be in danger.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhenguo. I will take my leave now!"

Tu Kun was also a little surprised that the king of the country would actually care about their life and death in Minghua Pass.

He had heard before that the King of the State killed people like crazy and would confiscate property and exterminate clans at will. Now it seems that the rumors are wrong. Ye Feng looks approachable and does not seem to be a ruthless person.
