Chapter 652 Show 1

"Yes, this is a strategy..." Yuan Qi deliberately dragged out the word "strategy", raised his beautiful eyes slightly, and finally turned his head to look at Zhou Chang, "So, how much more silver does the prince's strategy need? Is the one million taels I brought yesterday enough? If not, there are pearls and agates, which can always be thrown for some more time."

Zhou Chang chuckled, "Hehe, it's enough, it's enough. After counting, there are still 700,000 taels left after deducting today's money. I think it will be enough for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Meng was listening on the other side, and he could only blame himself for having sharp ears and eyes, but he almost bit his tongue.

What kind of hellish conversation is this?

One dares to throw it, and the other dares to give it?

"But..." On the other side, Zhou Chang changed the subject, "There's also the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... It will definitely not be enough in the future. As for silver... Of course the more the better, how much do you have? Gold, silver, and jewelry are all fine, the more the better, the more the better."

"Hiss..." This time Jiang Meng really bit his tongue.

Yuan Qi was unaware of the noise of gongs and drums from inside and outside the city wall, even though he was separated by Zhou Chang.

He just gently pushed aside his hood with his fingers, revealing half of his face, so that he could see the "battle" of picking up silver outside the city. At the same time, he thought about it in his heart, and then said leisurely: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, just win this battle, no matter how much silver you get."

Jiang Meng's eyes popped out, but he still pretended that he heard nothing. He held his neck stiff and stared straight ahead, forcing himself to stare at the situation of the Mirage Army below and not turn his head away.

Zhou Chang was also unaware of this, with only gold and silver on his mind. He didn't know what would happen next, but it was always good to have extra silver on hand in case of emergency.

While they were chatting on the city wall, the Mirage Army below the city gradually picked up all the 300,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Chang was worried that Yuan Qi had been exposed to the wind on the city wall for too long, so he accompanied him down the city wall to the city defense post to rest.

He sent Yuan Qi back to the small courtyard where he lived yesterday and sat him down in the hall.

Zhou Chang then advised: "It is dangerous on the city wall after all, so don't go there tomorrow. This is the front line after all, why don't you rest for a day and then go back to Beiji."

Yuan Qi had already achieved the two purposes of coming here, so there was really no reason to stay, so he nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then asked, "How much more silver will the prince need?"

Zhou Chang couldn't answer for a moment, but she knew it would be a lot, so many that she didn't dare to think about it too much.

Suddenly, he thought of something else and asked, "By the way, have you fished out the gold? It would be great if you could fish it out. There is so much gold that it can definitely be used."

Yuan Qi looked at Zhou Chang's expression and thought he was going to tell him a certain number, but he was suddenly stunned by the question.

Zhou Chang explained: "Alas... I'm afraid I still need a lot of silver. This is Maicheng. If Maizhou can be saved, there are still Shuzhou and Jizhou. I don't know how to fight on."

Yuan Qi fell silent, pondered for a while, and then said lightly: "People have been sent to the sunken ship, Your Majesty, don't worry. If it is salvaged, it will be helpful in terms of money. If it cannot be salvaged, I have my own way."

With this promise, Zhou Chang finally felt at ease.

If you hug someone's thighs, you should hug a thick one.

So Zhou Chang got up to say goodbye, but when he came out he saw Wu Hong guarding the gate of the courtyard.

Apart from the two of them, there seemed to be no one else in Yuan Qi's small courtyard.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask: "You came out this time without a maid, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for your daily life, right?"

"Fortunately, I didn't have time to take care of so many things before in order to get there quickly. Fortunately, the daily necessities are ready-made." After all, Yuan Qi has traveled all over the country and can take care of her daily life. She is not as pampered as those girls who never leave the house.

"Where are Lu Ju and Lu Ping?" Zhou Chang knew that Yuan Qi was in a hurry to come, but her two personal maids were always by her side.

"As for Lu Ping, I left her to take care of the house when we were in Beiji, and I only took Lu Ju to Lindong City. Unfortunately, Lu Ju fell ill as soon as we arrived in Lindong City. She was not well until I set out for Maicheng, so I had no choice but to leave her to recuperate, and I came here by myself." Yuan Qi explained again, seeming to be indifferent.

Zhou Chang didn't know until now that Yuan Qi came from Lindong City: "So you came from Lindong City, no wonder you arrived so quickly, but what are you doing in Lindong City?"

"Beiji, Lindong, Maicheng, Shucheng, Jicheng, Shuowang, Longcheng... Every place is good. The Yuan family has businesses everywhere and they all need people to take care of them, so we all need to take a look. What's more, the military supplies and medicinal materials needed by the prince are more abundant in Lindong City than in other places." Whenever Yuan Qi talked about his own business, there would be a hint of pride in his tone.

"Where's Liu E? Hasn't she always been following you?" Zhou Chang just remembered Liu E again. "I'm afraid Gao Yuan will be disappointed that Liu E didn't come this time."

Since they came to Maicheng, they have hardly had a moment of rest. Gao Yuan wished he had eight pairs of eyes open. On one hand, he had to keep an eye on the people from Jincaosi, communicate with Jin Run, and on the other hand, he had to worry about Zhou Chang's safety. Then he followed up with Chen Yuan and Han Bin and the others. The people from Yidanxing were also sent out to look for medicinal materials.

Speaking of Gao Yuan and Liu E, Yuan Qi smiled again: "It's useless for us to worry about this. Liu E is now devoted to Kun Yu Fang in Beiji City. If we want to make things happen, I'm afraid it depends on Gao Yuan's own methods."

After hearing this, Zhou Chang could only nod.

Yuan Qi was originally a careerist, but she didn't expect that Liu E, after being with her for a long time, would also devote herself to her career.

Zhou Chang has always had nothing but admiration and envy for this.

After saying all his concerned words, Zhou Chang thought of himself again, and walked out with a wry smile: "Jiang Meng has submitted a memorial to the court, but it is still unknown when they will reply. It will probably take a long time to expect them to send reinforcements. I don't know how to continue this war. When things don't work, I'm afraid silver will still be useful."

As soon as the words fell, both of them felt nervous again.

Yuan Qi's brows were also troubled for a moment, but it flashed away: "Your Highness, do whatever you want. As long as we can recover the three states and protect the people, it is worth it even if it costs a lot of money. As for the money and property... don't worry, I will take care of everything."

These four words, "I am in everything", sound lightly spoken but deeply heard.

Zhou Chang's chest was filled with emotions and his breathing became rapid.

"What's wrong with your Highness?" Yuan Qi sensed something was wrong.

"No...I...I am...you...you take a rest first. I have something important to discuss with Jiang Meng." Zhou Chang was no longer himself and left as if he was escaping.

Yuan Qi was left staring at the back.

No, Yuan Qi belongs to Wen Fei, Zhou Chang kept repeating it in his mind, but he didn't know who to tell.
