Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chai Lingwu saw that Yin Yushan didn't say anything and thought she was angry, so he also echoed.

"Brother Fang is right. Yang Yuzhi is stubborn and refuses to escort the troops and armor in winter. This has delayed our next important task!"

"And if Yang Yuzhi doesn't go to Luoyang with us, Brother Fang, as the Minister of the Imperial Guards, won't have the authority to command the transport alone."

Ever since they parted ways with Yang Yuzhi in Baihua Tower, the two of them had privately approached Yang Yuzhi several times, but were rejected every time.

Moreover, Yang Yuzhi originally had a nice attitude towards the two of them, but later, for some reason, he treated them coldly.

Now the relationship between the two of them and Yang Yuzhi has become strained, to the point where they don't talk to each other.

After listening to Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu's explanations, Yin Yushan shook her head helplessly, and then a cold voice came out from behind the black veil.

"Prince Consort Fang, since we can't transport the troops this year, let's wait until next year!"

"I will also return to Xiangzhou in a few days to discuss alternative plans with King Wei and Du Chuke to avoid any chaos in our actions!"

Li Yibiao, who escorted the Brahman envoys back to his country, will come back next year. With the addition of Li Yibiao, the Minister of Weiwei Temple, the replacement of troops and armor will be full of unknown difficulties.

You should know that Li Yibiao is not only the Minister of Weiwei Temple, he is also the Supreme Guard General appointed by His Majesty!

The duty of the Shang Hujun is to assist the general in commanding the army and improve the army's combat effectiveness. In other words, Li Yibiao is very strong in both insight and ability to command troops.

It is not an easy task for that useless guy Fang Yiai to exchange 100,000 sets of armor right under his nose. Li Yibiao might find out.

Now that Fang Yiai is not doing his job well, they can only think of another way.

Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yin Yu Niang, this is great!"

As long as Fang Yiai doesn't place all her hopes on him, she doesn't need to push herself so hard.

Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep well because he was worrying about this matter every day.

Yin Yushan continued, "Prince Consort Fang, during this period of time, you should continue to bribe the officials of the Weiwei Temple who are escorting the weapons with you, and try to make them all your people!"

"As long as those subordinates follow you wholeheartedly, it will be much easier for us to replace the troops next year."

The King of Wei gave Fang Yiai a huge sum of 3 strings of cash. If he could just use strings of cash to bribe the officials in the Weiwei Temple, they would fight for him even at the cost of their lives.

It is even possible to bribe someone like Li Yibiao.

Fang Yiai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss Yin. I have bribed the officials from the Weiwei Temple who were escorting the soldiers and armor with me with 1 strings of cash."

"Now wait for His Majesty to select the imperial guards to escort us to Luoyang. I will spend a lot of money to get them, and my mission will be completed."

He only took out a total of 2000 strings of cash to bribe those inexperienced officials in the armory and weapons offices of the two capitals, and they were so moved that they kowtowed and pledged their allegiance.

Fang Yiai withheld 8000 strings of cash. Apart from giving 2000 strings of cash to his good brother Chai Lingwu, he embezzled 6000 strings of cash for himself.

It doesn't take much money to deal with those imperial guards. You just need to spend a lot of money to bribe the leaders. The ordinary soldiers are not worth mentioning.

By then, the remaining 2 strings of cash will be used up, which will be another huge sum of money.

Yin Yushan did not speak immediately. Her intelligent eyes, as if they could read people's minds, stared straight at Fang Yiai through the black veil.

Feeling Yin Yushan's oppressive gaze, Fang Yiai asked stutteringly.

"Miss Yin, why...why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't you believe what I say?"

After more than ten breaths of silence.

Yin Yushan asked with a smile: "Prince Consort Fang, you spent 1 strings of cash just to bribe a few deputy chiefs, deputy chiefs and a bunch of officials?"

"The three of us are allies. Does Prince Consort Fang want to deceive even an ally like me?"

Not to mention that Yin Yushan herself did not believe what Fang Yiai said, even if she went back to report to King Wei, King Wei would definitely not believe Fang Yiai's lies.

Since the King of Wei gave Fang Yiai 3 strings of cash, it was natural that he wanted him to earn some money, but he didn't expect that this fool Fang Yiai would have such a big appetite.

this...

After hearing Yin Yushan's words, Fang Yiai's expression paused.

He smiled stiffly, "Miss Yin, you are joking. The interests of the three of us are tied together. How could I deceive you?"

"I haven't finished what I said just now. In fact, I used a total of 4000 strings of cash to bribe those ants. The remaining 6000 strings of cash will be divided among the three of us."

"I have already given 2000 guan to Brother Chai. When you return later, take the 2000 guan with you."

"After I finish this, I'll see how much money is left and give you a share then!"

Although it was a bit painful to divide up the 2000 strings of cash, if I didn't give some silver to Yin Yushan, I was afraid that she would say something nonsense in front of the King of Wei when she returned.

Yin Yushan said in a calm voice: "Thank you very much, Prince Consort Fang!"

Although Fang Yiai did not tell the truth, it was not bad to earn 2000 strings of cash for free. After all, this money was all her personal money.

In order to maintain a large team of spies over the years, they have almost exhausted their family assets.

Although the King of Wei now pays to support the spies behind them, the silver he gives is relatively limited and can only maintain normal operations.

They, their siblings and some other people behind the scenes did not gain much benefit from it.

If she earns more money now, she can leave the Prince of Wei's Mansion when the time is right, and live a rich life with her elder brother with this money.

Yin Yushan turned to Chai Lingwu and asked, "Prince Consort Chai, how are things going over there? Can you bribe the Minister of the Imperial Household Xiao Rui?"

"If you can get 1 high-quality war horses, the King of Wei won't need to use inferior horses as war horses."

This year, the Tang army annihilated the main cavalry of the Xueyantuo and captured tens of thousands of war horses.

Currently, only the Eastern Turks can still buy high-quality war horses, but the prices are so high that the King of Wei and several large families who support him can hardly afford it.

In the past, the price of an ordinary war horse was around 25 strings of coins, but now it has risen to 35 strings of coins.

Even though the King of Wei was willing to spend a large sum of money to buy war horses, it was still difficult for him to buy 1 relatively strong war horses.

Because the nomadic people of the Eastern Turks could not sell all of their war horses to the King of Wei, they also needed to keep most of them to equip their own cavalry.

"Hey~"

Chai Lingwu sighed heavily, then said helplessly.

"Miss Yin, I have already privately tested Xiao Rui's attitude, and he has no intention of cooperating at all."

"Please go back and report to the King of Wei, Miss Yin, and ask him to find another solution!"

Xiao Rui is a very timid person, and he is not short of money, so it is impossible for him to do anything that would jeopardize his career.

When Yin Yushan saw that neither of the two princes-in-law had done a good job, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

Then she stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I know how to report this to the King of Wei!"

"It's getting late now, I'll go back first."
