"Yes!" Tang Yuan didn't understand what Gao Yehua meant by this.

Gao Yehua raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you planning to let the brothers below wear single clothes through the winter?"

"Oh..." Tang Yuan was speechless for a moment, speechless, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Tang Yuan was a little reserved, Gao Yehua couldn't help but soften his tone and asked: "Why does General Zhang let the soldiers wear such single clothes?"

Tang Yuan replied: "His Royal Highness, it's not that my subordinates don't want to distribute it, but that the military treasury is empty. Now King Yun is seriously injured and there is no one to take charge of it."

Gao Yehua frowned deeper and asked, "Don't you know how to report it to the prefect?"

"I've reported it, but the prefect hasn't delivered the supplies yet."

"How long will it take for it to be delivered?"

"This..." Tang Yuan looked bitter, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

He also wanted to know when the prefect could deliver the supplies, but it was estimated that it would not be possible in a short time.

Seeing that he was always hesitant and hesitant to speak, Gao Yehua suddenly felt impatient. He walked past Tang Yuan and walked among the soldiers to watch from a distance. These soldiers were quite miserable.

Looking at it up close, he could only describe it as horrific.

Some of the soldiers were without armor, and even those who were wearing armor were in tatters, and many had their armor damaged.

Make small holes on both sides of the breach and tie the breach with hemp rope. The armor should be useless by now.

And they are still wearing it. If they wear such armor and go to the battlefield to fight against the barbarians, how can their lives be guaranteed?

How can such soldiers achieve victory?

Although these soldiers are only patrolling the city at the moment.

The armor is incomplete and some of it is old. So where are all the new armors?

Although Gao Yehua had just met Tang Yuan, he didn't think he had the courage to withhold military funds privately.

He turned around sharply, glared at Tang Yuan, and asked: "The soldiers either have no armor or are wearing broken armor. Didn't they report this to the prefect?"

"This..." Tang Yuan was still speechless.

Gao Yehua deliberately sneered and said, "Or are you saying, General Zhang, that you took the new armor for yourself and exchanged it for money to line your own pockets?"

After hearing this, Tang Yuan's head buzzed, his feet were dangling, and he almost sat on the ground.

Embezzling military funds is no joke, it is a serious crime that can lead to beheading.

He looked at Gao Yehua in horror and said repeatedly: "What an injustice. Your Highness, during my tenure, I have never misappropriated a single cent of the army..."

"Where have all those things gone?" Gao Yehua asked sharply before he could finish speaking.

"Alas!" Tang Yuan sighed helplessly, he could no longer hide the matter even if he wanted to.

He whispered: "Brothers have just experienced a war, resulting in a severe shortage of armor and a relatively complete defeat.

Originally, with King Yun here, the prefect would distribute supplies on time, but now King Yun is seriously injured and no one is there to control him, so..."

After hearing this, Gao Yehua's eyes were sharp.

"Is this true?"

"My subordinates will never dare to tell lies!"

"Is there no new armor in the border city?"

"My subordinates don't know." Tang Yuan looked confused.

He was unwilling to raise this issue because it would be useless. In the past, when King Yun was in charge, the prefect did not dare to disobey.

Now that King Yun was injured, he knew that he was a person of low opinion, and even if he mentioned it to the prefect, it would be useless.

Gao Yehua looked directly at Tang Yuan and didn't say a word for a long time.

In his ling

Under the stern gaze, Tang Yuan felt uncomfortable all over, his head hung lower, and he didn't dare to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, which seemed like a century to him, he finally heard Gao Yehua speak.

"General Tang, take your people and come with me!"

"Where are you going, His Royal Highness?"

"Prefect's Mansion!" Gao Yehua walked quickly to his horse, held down the saddle, and got on the horse.

"Go...to the Prefect's Mansion? His Highness the Crown Prince wants to..."

"We need military resources!" Gao Yehua replied expressionlessly.

Armor is the last layer of protection for soldiers on the battlefield. Without armor, how many casualties would there be in a battle?

No matter what reasons Prefect Xu Miaoshui had, he would not give up if he could not give him a satisfactory explanation.

Besides, I still need to employ people now, so I might as well take this opportunity to use these soldiers as my own.

Gao Yehua wanted to go back the same way and asked the prefect for supplies, which was beyond Tang Yuan's expectation.

Although Gao Yehua has a noble status, the prefect is also cunning and can't hand over the supplies so easily.

"This...your highness, will the prefect hand over the supplies?" Tang Yuan hurriedly urged his horse to follow him and advised him cautiously.

"No?" Gao Yehua raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, but a frightening cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "If Xu Miaoshui dares to say that there is no supplies, I will kill him!"

After hearing this, Tang Yuan swayed on his horse and almost fell down.

He knew that Gao Yehua was not joking, he also had such power of life and death.

But after all, Xu Miaoshui is a prefect, and the court officials may not be able to kill him casually.

But Gao Yehua was not worried that there was no way to kill Xu Miaoshui.

Not just because he is the prince, but simply withholding military funds is a felony.

Even if he really killed Xu Miaoshui, it would be reasonable and would not be unclear.

When we rushed back to the prefect's mansion, it was already night.

Gao Yehua's entourage already numbered several hundred people, and now including Tang Yuan's team, the number was nearly two thousand.

It was scary enough for so many people to arrive at the prefect's mansion late at night. The garrison at the door didn't know what was going on and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Stop! Who is that?" the leader of the defenders shouted loudly.

"Bold slave, you don't kneel down when you see the prince!" Gao Yehua's guard stood up and shouted angrily.

Prince? The gatekeeper was startled and quickly knelt down:

"The little man didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was here. He was careless and bumped into His Highness. Please forgive me."

The guard thought to himself: Didn't His Highness the Prince just pass by the Prefect's Mansion during the day? Why did he come back at night?

He lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and asked, "What's the matter with His Royal Highness?"

"Is your eunuch at home?" Gao Ye asked Hua Sensensen.

"Okay, I'll go in and inform you!" The guard saw Gao Yehua's menacing look, and thought it was not a good thing, so he kept saying.

"You bastard, why are you asking His Highness the Crown Prince to wait here?" Yang Pang shouted loudly, "You just don't know how to live or die!"

Gao Yehua dismounted and rushed straight to the prefect's mansion.

The guard quickly stood up and opened the door for Gao Yehua, not daring to say anything.

At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, Xu Miaoshui had already rested, and everything was quiet in the prefect's mansion.

Many of them came in a hurry, surprising the guards guarding the door.

Thinking that something unexpected had happened, the leader of the guards hurried forward to greet him.

I saw that the person taking the lead was Gao Ye who had left and returned.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Hua hurriedly knelt down: "Your Highness, why are you back?"

"I am looking for Mr. Xu."

"My lord has gone to bed. I will go and inform my lord now."

"There is no need for him to come out to see me, I will go in to find him!" Gao Yehua stretched out his hand to push the leader of the guards aside, and then walked straight to the back room.

The guards did not dare to stop him. After all, the opponent was His Highness the Crown Prince. If he offended His Highness the Crown Prince, a few heads would not be enough to chop him off!

But they dare not offend the prefect. They will have to live in the border town in the future!

They are just mere guards, how dare they offend anyone.

It was neither a matter of stopping nor a matter of not stopping. Following Gao Yehua, he was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What's going on? What's the noise about?"

Following the shouts of dissatisfaction, the steward of the prefect's mansion walked out of the side room wearing his clothes.

"Steward Xu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the Grand Administrator!" Seeing the old steward, the leader of the guards breathed a sigh of relief and threw Gao Yehua the hot potato to him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Butler Yu leaned his head forward and looked at him with blurry eyes for a while before he recognized Gao Yehua.

He asked in surprise: "Your Highness, why are you back?"

Gao Yehua had seen him during the day.

He quickly walked up to Butler Xu, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Butler Xu, take me to see Mr. Xu!"

After saying that, without waiting for the old housekeeper to answer, he dragged him towards the inner courtyard.

"Your Highness, please allow me to wake up the prefect. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

"No need!" Gao Yehua refused flatly, "Just lead the way and tell me which room Mr. Xu lives in."

The housekeeper didn't dare to stop him. He had no choice but to take Gao Yehua to Xu Miaoshui's bedroom.

Looking up at the closed door, Gao Yehua turned his head and asked, "Is this the room?"

"His Royal Highness, yes... yes!" The old butler's old face twisted into a ball.

"What? Do you want me to open the door myself?" Gao Yehua looked at the old housekeeper with sharp eyes.

This stupid thing!

The old housekeeper stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside.

Gao Yehua sneered, Xu Miaoshui really slept deeply.

Not to mention the sound of knocking on the door, even with such a group of people making noise at the door, the noise was loud enough.

I still didn't wake up, so I had a good sleep.

Seeing this, Yang Pang, who was beside Gao Yehua, strode to the door without knocking. He raised his leg and kicked the door open.

Bang!

The loud sound of the door being kicked was particularly loud in the quiet night, and it finally frightened the two people who were sleeping soundly inside to scream.

"who?"

Xu Miaoshui instinctively sat up from the bed. Next to him, there was also a gorgeous young woman in her twenties lying.

Gao Yehua walked closer from outside as if there was no one around and stared at the two people on the bed. After a while, he smiled, walked to the bed and said:

"Master Xu, thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Miaoshui rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and looked carefully for a long time before he recognized Gao Yehua. His face was full of shock and confusion, he rolled and crawled, and hurriedly got out of bed and knelt down.

He said in a trembling voice: "I didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and I deserve death! I just didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince left and came back?"

"I have something to ask Mr. Xu!" Gao Yehua stood in front of him, and a guard had already brought a chair.

Gao Yehua sat on a chair, pulled out his sword and wiped it gently. The blade glowed coldly in the night.
