Chapter 84(1/2)

When Xu Miaoshui saw this, he didn't know why Gao Yehua came back, but when he saw the shining silver sword, Xu Miaoshui shivered.

As for the young woman kneeling next to him, she was so frightened that she tightened her clothes and her body kept shaking.

After all, Xu Miaoshui had been a prefect for many years. Even though he was very nervous, he still pretended to have a calm expression, but his voice was trembling badly.

He asked: "I wonder, Your Highness, what does this... mean?"

"Master Xu, don't be nervous. I just want to ask you something this time."

"I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"It's autumn now. Although it's not cold yet, it's still a bit chilly at night!" Gao Yehua said leisurely.

Hearing this, Xu Miaoshui was a little confused and asked: "I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince means? Please give His Highness the Crown Prince a clear explanation!"

I found that the soldiers in the border town are still wearing single clothes, I wonder when Mr. Xu will deliver the uniforms?" Gao Yehua asked in a calm tone.

"It turns out it's because of this!" Xu Miaoshui's tense mood suddenly relaxed and he said, "Actually, there is nothing I can do. There is really a lack of supplies."

"Insufficient supplies? If I remember correctly, the supplies allocated by the imperial court to the border towns are quite sufficient." Gao Yehua felt ridiculous after listening to Xu Miaoshui's words.

"This..." Being snatched away by Gao Yehua, Xu Miaoshui couldn't help but blush, and his thin face turned red.

Gao Yehua continued: "Is it possible that the imperial supplies are hidden by the prefect?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I always have great courage, and I don't dare to embezzle the imperial materials!" Xu Miaoshui was frightened and kept kneeling down to beg for mercy.

"Don't you dare? I think Master Xu is quite courageous!" Gao Yehua added: "Master Xu does not provide supplies to the soldiers, which is simply destroying their confidence in fighting.

I thought that the imperial court didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers. How could the soldiers still have the heart to fight for the imperial court? To protect the borders of our Fenglin Empire?

I now have to wonder if you, Mr. Xu, are a spy from the Zhongxuan Kingdom who has infiltrated our Fenglin Empire, and your role is to destroy the border defense of our Fenglin Empire!"

As he spoke, he stood up and raised his sword at the same time.

Xu Miaoshui thought he was going to do something to her, so she was so frightened that she screamed: "Your Highness, please spare your life! Your Highness, please spare your life!"

"Haha——" Gao Yehua sneered, put away the long sword, and said:

"Master Xu, don't be afraid, I will not kill you. I will just report what Master Xu has done to the court.

Maybe Mr. Xu still has some secrets from the border country in his hands. If he is imprisoned in the sky prison, if he asks carefully, he might be able to gain a lot."

After hearing what he said, Xu Miaoshui was stunned and reported his matter to the court. How could he repay it?

Can you still save your head?

Not to mention not being able to save his head, even if he was imprisoned in a sky jail, such torture would be worse than a happy death!

Xu Miaoshui was so frightened that he was at a loss.

If this big hat is taken off, there will be no way for me to survive!

After Gao Yehua finished speaking, he was about to walk out. Xu Miaoshui said repeatedly:

"Your Highness, please stay! It's not that I won't give you supplies, it's just that I have financial difficulties..."

"Having trouble?"

Gao Yehua sneered. With Xu Miaoshui's shrewd appearance, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't tell that he had any difficulties.

He raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I understand Mr. Xu's difficulties, but I don't know what the imperial court will do."

You won’t be as considerate to Mr. Xu as I am!”

With that said, he waved his sleeves and left.

Xu Miaoshui trotted to catch up with Gao Yehua and begged:

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment! I will definitely find a way to deliver the supplies! Please be kind to Your Highness!"

"Oh? Mr. Xu, is there no difficulty now?"

Gao Yehua stopped and asked leisurely.

"This... give me half a month..." Xu Miaoshui begged.

"No problem, I'm always easy to discuss."

Xu Miaoshui was about to rejoice, but did not expect that Gao Yehua was not so difficult to plead for mercy. However, he heard Gao Yehua turn around and said to Yang Pang:

"Yang Pang, please go back to the palace and report this matter to your father. I order you to complete the matter within three days!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have thought about it for a moment, and the needs of the soldiers should come first. Within three days, I will definitely finish it within three days!"

"Oh? Mr. Xu is so thoughtful! Three days is just the right time to return to the imperial city to report the news."

Xu Miaoshui originally thought that Gao Yehua meant to resolve the matter within three days, but he didn't expect that it still wouldn't work. "The official said it wrong, it wasn't three days!"

Gao Yehua smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, Mr. Xu, when will the supplies be delivered?"

"Tomorrow, just tomorrow!" Xu Miaoshui knew that Gao Yehua would not be satisfied even if it was delayed a little longer.

"This is what Mr. Xu promised. I have no intention of embarrassing Mr. Xu." Gao Yehua looked at Xu Miaoshui and said.

"Where, where, the official requested it himself."

Xu Miaoshui complained in his heart, but he had no way to resist.

"That being the case, I wonder how much military resources Mr. Xu has in his house, is it enough for ten thousand people?" Gao Yehua asked in a deep voice.

"Ten thousand people?" Xu Miaoshui was a little surprised.

A portion for 10,000 people!

How could there be as many as 10,000 soldiers patrolling the border city!

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, no! There's no problem." Xu Miaoshui knew that Gao Yehua had made up his mind to ask for military resources, but what could he do?

Xu Miaoshui stroked his sore forehead and said, "I will try my best to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince's request."

Gao Yehua raised the corners of his mouth, his handsome face had an evil look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he said leisurely:

"Okay, I will wait here. If you don't see what I want tomorrow morning, then I will have to ask my subordinates to go back to the imperial city, or..."

As he spoke, he walked up to Xu Miaoshui, poked his head, his handsome face was almost touching Xu Miaoshui's, and said eerily word by word:

"Or, I don't mind taking your head back to the imperial city to meet my father!"

Xu Miaoshui was so frightened that he fell to his knees directly.

Gao Yehua's smile made him feel no warmth at all, but only a complete feeling of coldness.

That bloodthirsty and evil look clearly showed that he could really do what he said.

He was afraid.

After calming down, Xu Miaoshui finally came to his senses.

The wrinkles on his face appeared to be deeper, and he said tremblingly: "Okay! I'll let you get ready...I'll let you get ready now!"

The border town is not considered poor. It has six counties, ten cities, and forty towns, and the annual tax revenue is not small.

And because of the continuous war, the annual income tax collection was not only not handed over to the court, but the court also allocated funds to the border towns to strengthen the defense here.

Although Gao Yeyun is here, Xu

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

Miaoshui didn't dare to do anything, but Xu Miaoshui didn't have money and supplies.

This person is naturally greedy and feels that these things belong to him only if they remain in his own hands. Once they are distributed, they belong to others.

If you can deduct it, deduct it, and if you can't, don't pay it. It's just that due to the pressure of Gao Yeyun, you deduct less.

But over the years, I have gained a lot.

Now Xu Miaoshui was forced to do nothing by Gao Yehua.

For the sake of his own life and future career, he had no choice but to compromise, unwilling to pay for the money he had accumulated over the years.

Tang Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, almost thought that he was in a dream now. Xu Miaoshui, who was so penniless, actually wanted to distribute 10,000 military supplies to the border town!

This is incredible!

Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoshui, who has always been good at calculating, has no ability to parry in front of the prince!

Gao Yehua made Xu Miaoshui docile in just a few words.

Tang Yuan felt deeply sorry for Gao Yehua.

Xu Miaoshui worked very efficiently. A hundred or so trucks with 10,000 shares of military supplies were ready in less than three hours.

Rows of carriages parked neatly in front of the gate of the Prefect's Mansion. Looking around, one could not see the edge.

Everything was ready, and Xu Miao's generals came to report: "Master Xu, all the necessary supplies are ready. Do you want to see it in person?"

Xu Miaoshui had already put on his official uniform, but his face was so wrinkled that it was almost twisted into a ball.

These supplies and money were all hoarded by him under the majesty of King Yun and with great painstaking efforts behind King Yun's back.
