Li Maner chuckled lightly, "Whether it is my guess or not, the Ninth Prince knows it well. The servant is just an ordinary woman. She has no merit and is useless to the country, the country, and the people. As for the little girl, there is really no need for the prince to let go."
In my heart."
Qi Yihan didn't know why, but when he heard her say this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Actually, if you don't look for me, I also want to look for you."
Li Man'er was stunned for a moment. His first reaction was that there was something wrong with his body, "A poison has occurred? It's impossible. Please reach out and I'll take a look for you."
Qi Yihan put his wrist on the table.
Li Man'er put her finger on it and pressed it a few times, but found no problem.
"The other hand."
"I'm fine." Qi Yihan put his other hand on the table, "I just wanted to tell you about the cross."
The hand that was about to put it was retracted. She lent the crossbow to Ah Qi for self-defense. Since she lent it, she had no intention of keeping it secret. Ah Qi belonged to Qi Yihan, so the crossbow was sent to Qi Yihan.
hands.
"Whether you want to imitate it or send it to the ordnance camp is up to you." Li Man'er said, "Since I gave it away, I have no intention of taking it back."
"This thing is very powerful. If you equip the crossbowmen in the camp with such a weapon, it will add some strength in vain. I can't ask for your things for nothing, of course I have to pay you." Qi Yihan took out a box from his arms.
, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Maner, "Take this."
Li Man'er opened it and took a look. Hey, there was a pile of banknotes. The denominations were quite large. At a rough calculation, there were thousands of taels.
Li Man'er glanced at Qi Yihan, "Is this the reward from the prince?"
"I know you are not short of money." Qi Yihan felt guilty. He knew that Li Man'er sold the Luminous Pearl. In terms of the value of the thing itself, the crossbow was not valuable, but it was a magical weapon.
Once put into the battlefield in batches, the benefits will be far beyond what money can measure.
Giving someone only one thousand taels of silver notes is indeed a bit bullying.
"When we go to war, all lives are lost. War costs the most money. Your Majesty, you'd better take it back. I'm not short of money." Li Man'er thought about Qi Yihan's concern about the mineral veins in the mountains. He probably was also short of money. The snow is too heavy now and the mountain road is difficult to walk.
Otherwise, I'm afraid they would have gone into the mountains long ago.
"This king is the most impatient and owes favors. You'd better keep it. If it's too little, you can make up for it later."
Li Man'er snorted coldly, "The prince can't protect himself, and he still says such things. Everyone thinks that the Nine Princes have power over the world, one person is above the others, and ten thousand people are under them, but I feel that the prince is living an uncomfortable life."
Qi Yihan's usually calm mind suddenly became confused. In the dark night, he couldn't see anything clearly, but Li Man'er's face seemed to be covered with a shimmer, a light that no one could ignore.
"Is the whole world the land of the king? Is the prince unable to control himself, or does he really care about the world?"
Li Man'er's guess was getting closer to the truth, but Qi Yihan didn't tell her, so she couldn't ask any more questions. Thinking of the drawings she had put away, Li Man'er couldn't bear to be cruel in the end. She kept telling herself that she had saved the life.
It is the lives of the people in Mobei, and what I save is the lives of the people of Zunguo.
"If the barbarians invade with strong troops, how will the prince expect to defend the city?"
"Miss Li, there is no need to worry. The total number of troops in the new city and the old city is not 200,000, but there are tens of thousands. Plus the troops brought by your father, they are enough to compete with the barbarians."
In fact, there are still unstable factors in this matter.
What did ancient war rely on? The right time, place and people!
The barbarians are good at riding and shooting, and the desolate Gobi Desert like Mobei is like a natural battlefield for them. The barbarians' horses have strong legs, adapt to the climate here, and have sufficient endurance. These are all advantages.
Over the years, the barbarians and Zunguo have been constantly fighting small battles, but they have never fought a major battle. The barbarians have rested and recuperated, and have developed well in the past ten years.
In the past, the various tribes of the barbarians fought fiercely among themselves. Even when they faced off against Zun Guo, the tribes would temporarily join forces to fight against the enemy, but the estrangement could not be eliminated in a short time. They were wary of each other, and often lost opportunities due to internal fighting.
Suffer a few defeats.
"The war is imminent. I think the barbarian tribes have reached an agreement. Does the prince have any good countermeasures?"
"This is not what you worry about, nor is it what I worry about." Qi Yihan said: "If the Xiao family were useless, they wouldn't have guarded Mobei for so many years. Even if you don't have confidence in the Marquis, you should have confidence in the Xiao family.
.”
Li Maner leaned forward, put one arm on the table, and leaned forward slightly with the upper body, as if to negotiate, "Are the Xiao family reliable? Not to mention Xiao Rudi, the prince himself said that he wanted to
Beware of people. If he colludes with the barbarians and cooperates inside and outside, wouldn't Mobei City be in danger?"
Qi Yihan was about to say something, but he heard Li Bian'er say again: "As for my father, don't have too much hope, Prince. He is stupid. He might be plotted by someone one day. If you don't get involved by him then, it will be better."
Not bad.”
In fact, Li Maner wanted to plot against Li Shu. The father and daughter had turned against each other. If Li Shu was allowed to return to Beijing smoothly, she would not get any benefits. Although she could live a good life without the Li family, the original owner and
What to do with Ning's revenge? Not to avenge it? And Ning Daocheng, he was also harmed like that by the Xiao family. How could Li Man'er let it go?
So this time, the task is a bit big. Not only does she ask the people of Mobei, she also wants to plot against Li Shu and the Xiao family. If possible, she wants Li Shu to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Of course, in ancient times, it was important to sit together and kill the nine tribes at every turn, so she couldn't go too far, not only to let Li Shu get a heavy punishment, but also to save the lives of the rest of the Li family. If nothing else, just say that three bedrooms and one family are good.
Yes, you must not be implicated just because of him alone.
"What do you want to do?"
"Your Majesty, why don't we cooperate and play the big game?"
Qi Yihan looked puzzled.
Li Maner stood up, went to his bed tent and pretended to rummage around, then took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Qi Yihan.
"This is my sincerity to the prince."
Qi Yihan took it and took a closer look with the faint light shining into the house from the corridor. His face suddenly changed, "Where did this thing come from?"
"Hey, my daughter has written so many prescriptions for the prince, and the prince actually doesn't recognize my words?"
Qi Yihan took a closer look and saw familiar handwriting.
"Miss Li really opened my eyes." Qi Yihan didn't seem to want to be stingy with his words of praise. "First it was the medical skills, then the resourcefulness and courage. Now Miss Li has made me see what genius and structure are."
Qi Yihan pointed at the drawings and said, "This girl is so talented, I admire her."
Fortunately, he didn't say that. I don't know how many surprises you have.
Li Man'er secretly thought for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, with these things, can the probability of defending Mobei be increased by 20%?"
