After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 324 Surprise the snake

  Yu Wang didn't refuse, and there was nothing unusual recently. And he got the news that King Su granted Li Sheng the secret decree of His Majesty to secretly investigate the Jiangnan salt administration.

   Raising troops and setting up troops has always been the most money-consuming, and Jiangnan is a famously rich place. Although he did not directly intervene, he also participated indirectly, so during this period, he must be extra vigilant and not make any mistakes.

  The sky is getting dark and the moon is rising. As time goes by, the temperature is getting colder and colder. The bright moon gradually rises into the sky, which is the quietest moment of the day.

   During the day, the chirping birds also curled up their wings and huddled quietly in their nests, only some nocturnal birds made occasional movements. The quiet Zhuangzi seems to be no different from the day.

  Among the floating treetops, a few black shadows passed by quietly. They finally stopped by the shed where King Yu trained birds during the day. Some of the birds in the cages have been moved to other places, and only some have not been domesticated.

  Feng Lisheng walked around the shed, looking at the seemingly messy gravel on the ground.

   Not long after, he picked up the tip of the sword, moved a stone to the next position, and then the next one. His movements seemed random, but every step he took seemed to have its own rules.

  If a knowledgeable person knows it at a glance, this is according to the order of the Qimen gossip.

  After a while, he straightened up, and a young man standing beside Feng Wu looked at it in surprise. The rockery that seemed far away from the shed suddenly became very close.

  Feng Wu glanced at him, and kindly helped to explain: "I tell you to read more books, this is just the most commonly used method of blinding one's eyes in the Qimen Formation..."

   Next, a lot of theoretical terms were said.

  Wang Dashan scratched his head, expressing that he didn't understand a word, but he still boasted to save face: "Well, it's amazing."

  The two followed Feng Lisheng into the rockery. Seeing his cooperation, Feng Wu continued to narrate:

"Don't think too much about it. It's just sorting through the five elements and gossip, which makes you visually confused. The rockery that is clearly close at hand seems to be far away at first glance. It's like the common ghost hitting the wall, but this requires A bit more advanced…”

  Wang Dashan still scratched his head naively: "I don't understand, but His Highness said that in the face of absolute strength, all miracles and ingenuity are not worth mentioning. I just need to practice lightness kung fu well."

  Feng Wu: "..." Qinggong is much better than him!

  Feng Lisheng glanced at him, too lazy to listen to him bragging about wrong theories. Holding a torch, he groped professionally on the stone wall.

  Feng Wu's scalp tightened, not daring to delay, and started looking from the other side. Not long after, there were a few clicks. The stone wall in front of Feng Lisheng slowly opened, revealing a bottomless secret passage.

  Seeing him stepping up and going down, Feng Wu hurriedly took a step forward: "Your Highness is waiting here, this subordinate and Dashan go down first."

  Feng Lisheng waved his hand, motioning for the three of them to go down side by side. A group of people walked for a long time, and did not encounter any hidden weapons along the way. Wanting to come to Yu Wang, he was very relieved about this place.

   After walking for about half an hour, there was a faint light in front of them, and a group of people walked out of the secret passage.

  Looking around, there is a fog in front of him. Needless to say, this is another formation.

  Feng Lisheng broke the gap, Feng Wu muttered: "I can't see that King Yu is still a master of formation!"

  Feng Lisheng directed the two of them to work, without raising his head, he said: "It's not him, he doesn't have this ability."

  He said this in a very flat tone, without any intention of disgust, but just stating the facts.

  Feng Wu: "It means that he has a very powerful formation master by his side, but such a master is usually very arrogant, so it should be difficult to invite!"

  Feng Lisheng didn't answer him, but focused on fighting. Soon as a branch was cut down, the fog in front of him dispersed. Faintly heard the sound of waterfalls in the distance.

  Feng Wu glanced around: "This is the inner circle of Wanfo Mountain!"

  The Longevity Hill was rumored to have gone and never returned. Thinking of this, he seemed to understand something.

   Until another half an hour passed. The three of them came to a huge valley.

  Standing on a high place, I looked at the rows of houses and the men who came and went wearing armor and patrolling.

  Although you can guess what King Yu wants to do? But seeing it with his own eyes, Feng Wu was still shocked. He said to Feng Lisheng silently:

   "Looking at the regulations, there must be at least 20,000 to 30,000!"

  Feng Lisheng's expression was very calm. Long before he came to Jingzhou, he was aware of the problem after deciphering all kinds of news from spies.

  For example, Jingzhou looks barren, but it is located on a plain. There have been basically no major natural disasters in recent years. Moreover, under Mr. Fan's management in the past few years, Jingzhou has actually developed quite well. But the tax money collected every year does not match what he estimated.

   It is impossible for the emperor, including the people in the household department, to be completely unaware of these things, but the so-called water is clear and there will be no fish. As long as the local officials are greedy and do not cross the line, the court will turn a blind eye.

   But according to his investigation, although Fan Changshi loves to seize power, he is not corrupt. So where did the money go?

   Another example is that the monthly food supply on Zhuangzi is very large. It is said that there are many servants who serve the birds in Zhuangzi.

  However, the fact is that because of the formation, there are not many people in this village.

   The group didn't return until near dawn. They also found an iron mine deep in the valley, which had almost been mined.

  …

  Back to the house, Shen Mingjiao and the others are not up yet. Feng Lisheng returned to the study, picked up a pen and began to write letters. Although they didn't sleep all night, they couldn't see any fatigue.

  Feng Wu poured a cup of tea for Feng Lisheng: "Your Highness, now that we have found the location of King Yu's garrison, should we directly inform Xiangyang General Soldier to bring someone here?"

  Jingzhou is the domain of King Yu after all, so they naturally don't trust the Jingzhou garrison.

  Feng Lisheng put down his pen: "Naturally, we need to be notified, but their role is only to deter. If we lead troops to forcibly encircle and suppress, there will inevitably be casualties on both sides.

   Every elite soldier in the Great Xia Kingdom has been selected and trained day after day. Even if they die, they should die on the battlefield, not in the mere royal family strife. So this kind of unnecessary casualties can be avoided if possible. "

  Feng Wu understood the meaning of his words in an instant: "Your Highness is planning to capture the thief first! But King Yu has been operating in Jingzhou for many years. With the manpower we have, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take him down?"

  Feng Lisheng folded the letter paper and asked someone to quietly send it to Xiangyang Commander-in-Chief. He raised his head and said softly, "Then startle the snake!"

  …

   Another day passed, and I guess it was almost done. King Yu invited Chen Jinbao to come over, saying that he would give him some precious jade articles.

  Chen Jinbao came to Yuwang Mansion with a happy face, and entered the study in the front yard, and found that Yuwang was not there, only An Shuner stood quietly with downcast eyes.

  Chen Jinbao glanced at An Shun'er, sat down on the armchair, and asked bluntly, "Why are you the only one here, where is your lord?"

  An Shun'er still lowered his eyes respectfully, showing no signs of happiness or anger: "My lord has gone to the backyard and will be here in a while. Mr. Chen sit down and have a cup of tea first."

   While speaking, he casually poured a cup of tea and offered it to him: "This is the best Biluochun, the price is comparable to gold, Mr. Chen, try it."

   Chen Jinbao heard him say that the price is better than gold, and he really became interested. He couldn't wait to pick up the tea and put it to his lips to sniff.

  After that, he seemed to have noticed something. His face was stiff for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He put down the cup with some disgust, and deliberately found fault:

   "Why does this tea have a strange smell! Don't drink it, don't drink it..."

   Afterwards, Chen Jinbao was obviously fidgeting. Seeing that King Yu hadn't come back for a long time, he stood up as if he had completely lost his patience, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I left first."

  The footsteps of leaving are obviously a little eager.

  Until his back completely disappeared, the door on the side of the study slowly opened, and King Yu came out with a sullen face.
