Chapter 288 The Return of the Five Masters
As King Jing said, with that seal, Jiang Ting found hundreds of thousands of silver ticket stubs in the largest banks in Xingyuan City. Not only that, Liu Yao asked for a general account from King Jing. The account book shows that the dowry industries left by the former princess still exist. Moreover, from the perspective of the account book, those industries are doing very well.
Although at that time, Liu Yao agreed to King Jing's request with anger and resentment in order to get the seal and account book. But after that, he didn't look at the seal and account book at all and said directly to Jiang Ting, "You can use those money. As for the industry, if you want to keep it, just keep it. If you don't want to keep it, just deal with it at will.
Jiang Ting doesn't understand Liu Yao's entanglement with the former princess. But since she married Liu Yao, she has been helping him take care of his private property. So she didn't doubt anything and naturally took this one.
In any case, the financial problem was solved, and Jiang Ting's alcohol workshop was quickly launched. She also became busy again. The production of alcohol is related to the lives of tens of millions of soldiers on the front line, and she can't help but ignore it. She even asked Mother Zheng and Mother Wang to lift the siege of Beiyuan and Dongyuan, and ordered them to concentrate on helping her build a workshop.
It was not until everything unfolded that Jiang Ting realized that there were too few credible and available personnel. Zhao Xi and others, whom she brought out from Zhenbeihou Mansion, had many other things on their hands and could not draw people at all. Finally, she had to ask Liu Yao to pull out Yu Ping and Yu'an to help her take care of the production and operation of the workshop outside.
And Liu Yao's injury is gradually recovering over time. But before the wound was completely healed, he was a little idle. After Jiang Ting's first batch of medical alcohol was produced, he took this batch of alcohol and a large number of food and materials, together with Liu Xu, who was forcibly stuffed by Jing Wang, to Yunwu City in the south.
Yunwu City, which was previously captured by the Southern Defense Army, should be reorganized by the Lingnan Army due to the withdrawal of the other party. The location of Yunwu City is too special, which is equivalent to the gateway to the south of the whole Lingnan County. If Yunwu City is really lost, it means that the gateway of Lingnan County has been opened by the enemy.
Now the eldest prince is focusing on the war with the Miao people and has no time to pay attention to Lingnan for a moment. But this does not mean that Lingnan can rest assured from now on. Liu Yao felt that according to the emperor's nature, he would definitely turn around to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty after beating the Miao people. At that time, the first thing to do is naturally Lingnan near the southern Xinjiang!
If they don't prepare early, the only way to wait for them is failure. As for whether the new emperor in the capital will send reinforcements in time, Liu Yao is no longer looking forward to it. Now it has been two months since the eldest prince rebelled, but there has been no sign of reinforcements.
Moreover, there was news that several vassal kings in the Central Plains also took advantage of the limelight of the eldest prince's rebellion and raised their troops to stand on their own feet and rebelled. Now, the war is about to burn all over the Central Plains, and the world is in chaos.
I'm afraid the new emperor in the palace is already anxious at this moment. I don't know when soldiers and horses will rush into the imperial city and lift up his throne. Liu Yao felt that it was better to rely on himself than to expect the soft-hearted guy to stabilize the situation.
Moreover, there is also a heavy sense of mission in Liu Yao's heart. Lingnan will be his place in the future, and the people here will be his people; naturally his place should be guarded by him, and his people should also be protected by him.
Under the starlight, Liu Yao stood on the wall, looking at the endless darkness in the distance outside the city, and gradually clenched his hands on the wall. Even if there is really no reinforcements in the future, he will never want to give Lingnan away!
"Prince, there is a letter from the royal palace." Geng Shan came behind Liu Yao and reported in a low voice. His majestic and solemn face, because of the background of military armor, has long been without the unrulyness of the Jianghu people at the beginning; but a little more iron blood and fearlessness unique to soldiers.
The battlefield is the place where the Predator can really be trained.
Liu Yao turned around to receive the letter, entered the city stack, and read it with the bright torch inside. After only two sentences, his eyes lit up. Then, the corners of his mouth opened involuntarily, revealing a rare laugh in the past few days.
There is only one page of writing paper, and there are only a dozen sentences in total, which can be read in a blink of an eye. But Liu Yao looked back and forth several times, and then looked up happily to Geng Shan who followed him and said, "The fifth uncle is back, and there are fourteenth brothers!"
Geng Shan's eyes lit up and said, "As soon as the fifth master comes back, we will add a general!"
Liu Yao focused on the key: "In the whole Lingnan, the fifth uncle is the best to lead the army. At the beginning, King Jing's mansion was able to control the military's important affairs because the fifth uncle led the troops, and the court could not let go of him as a general.
If it hadn't been for the late Imperial Concubine Ye's mother's father who was too ambitious and made his own decision to work against the imperial officials, perhaps the former emperor would not have been so determined to recover the military power. After all, King Jing and the former emperor also had some old friendship, and they had never been self-rebellious. In any case, the former emperor should not have taken Lingnan.
At that time, the fifth master fell out with the father and brother of Concubine Ye due to political discord, and did not get the support of King Jing. In anger, he resigned from the position of the army. After the death of the Ye family's father and son, King Jing was no longer able to compete for military power with the court. Therefore, the fifth master has always been ashamed of King Jing and feels that it was his impulse that caused the royal palace to lose its military power.
Therefore, after Liu Yao got married, the fifth master invited himself to Beijing and took his family to the capital as a hostage.
Liu Yao thought they would not come back. The three and four rooms in the house have hollowed out their minds to escape. How can the five rooms come back on the cusp of this storm?
But something unexpected happened. The fifth master came back and brought back his three sons!
The letter said that they did not return home, but just sent the letter. Will come directly to Yunwu City to meet us. Calculate the time, it should arrive tomorrow!" Liu Yao said excitedly, with bright eyes.
Geng Shan, as Liu Yao's follower at this moment, immediately understood his responsibilities. He stood up for a military sal and smiled, "Let someone arrange it. When the fifth master comes back, it will be lively..."
Report! A group of people outside the North Gate are calling for the door 200 meters away. The soldier's sudden report interrupted Geng Shan's words.
Liu Yao and Geng Shan looked at each other and saw surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.
"Is this coming?" Geng Shan has more doubts.
"They are coming!" Liu Yao is more determined.
The two hurried out of the mouth, got off the wall and got on horse, and ran to the north gate.
