Chapter 199: Madam's Mistake
1 tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver, and 1 million gold ingots is equal to 10 million taels of silver!
According to Nanling's current national strength, its GDP is at most 400,000 gold ingots, or at most 4 million taels of silver.
Nanling had been fighting for a long time and had to pay a large amount of compensation.
I’m afraid the national treasury doesn’t even have this amount, not to mention that taxes are also a component of GDP.
Given the nature of this cowardly emperor, even if she really achieved economic revenue, due to his shameless behavior, he might change the tax policy and make her fail to meet the target at the last minute.
Therefore, she needs far more than one million gold ingots.
Moreover, I can’t use Xie Xuan’s…
Not to mention, once she uses his resources, she will never be able to clear it up again.
Even if it was Xie Xuan's revenge, she couldn't turn a blind eye and use the blood of Xie's ancestors to save her enemy.
This is tantamount to disrespecting the spirit of General Xie who has sacrificed his life.
No wonder Xie Xuan proposed to kill the two of them.
Undoubtedly, this is the simplest and most direct way.
But... is it really that simple?
Was Emperor Gou also calculating behind this?
If this is true, then the Qilin Army will not only have no chance of redressing their wrongdoing, but will also be branded as a regicide for eternity...
So, she couldn't drag him into this no matter what.
When Su Shengsheng frowned, Xie Xuan held her trembling shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one dares to hurt you."
His phoenix pupils were like the edge of a deep black hole, flashing with a faint light that was tempting to sink into.
The darkness is mysterious and bottomless, like a gravity that spans light years, tightly absorbing every soul that encounters it and making people lost in it.
Su Shengsheng avoided his gaze slightly and nodded.
Humans are not plants or trees, so it is impossible to say that they are not touched.
When faced with a desperate situation, if someone is willing to do their best to help her, even if it is a stranger, she cannot help but be grateful.
only……
Now the situation is too complicated...
She felt like she was about to be swallowed by a tornado.
She was uneasy, but he pulled her into his arms in an instant.
"If it really comes to the last resort, I will take you away."
The soft whisper pierced her eardrums like the sound of a drum.
Su Shengsheng could hardly believe that Xie Xuan would actually say that he would abandon the city and flee...
He is a great general!
They...is she worth it?
In Xie Xuan's arms, Su Shengsheng, who was a little petite, raised her head slightly in disbelief.
He should have been able to sense that she had been distancing herself from him and that she had taken out the telegraph machine just to repay his kindness.
Once he uses it, he accepts it.
But now he...has made it clear that it can never be clearly distinguished.
It was as if she was tightly bound by the ropes of fate, and no matter how she struggled, she would only be bound tighter.
Su Shengsheng met his unblinking gaze and exhaled with difficulty.
If she really wants to escape, she might as well study rockets and migrate directly to another planet, which would be easier.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through Su Shengsheng's mind.
It’s not impossible!
She didn't necessarily have to create a rocket, she just needed to pull the majestic imperial power sitting on the dragon throne off the altar...
Since he is so afraid of them, let him be more afraid.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Xie Xuan saw that her eyes seemed to penetrate him and drifted to somewhere unknown, so he couldn't help but ask her.
Su Shengsheng turned her gaze back, but her mind was still elsewhere.
He bid, but not set the price.
As long as she has enough bargaining chips, she can get to the negotiating table.
Emperor Gou is so arrogant because he has never seen the world.
He probably has never heard of what a technology chaebol is, what a financial chaebol is, what a military, industrial, transportation and media chaebol is.
Do you know that there is also something to be afraid of in a certain country like South Korea or the beautiful country?
As long as she has the resources, she is an energy tycoon.
Just when my head was full of fighting spirit, he suddenly bit my lips lightly.
It doesn't hurt, it's Susu's.
But it also brought Su Shengsheng back to her senses in an instant.
"What are you doing?" Su Shengsheng glared at him angrily, but was held in his strong arms and could not move.
Men are all idiots after all.
Those radiant jade eyes were deeply reflected in Xie Xuan's eyes.
He curled his lips slightly, "I kiss my wife, what's wrong with that?"
Su Shengsheng's body stiffened.
There are wolves in front, tigers behind, and a big black panther lurking beside him all day long.
So, everyone treated her as the sheep on the single-plank bridge?
Su Shengsheng pushed him in dissatisfaction, but failed to move him.
Instead, he pushed her closer and closer, penetrating her panicked heart. "Grandfather and the others are coming..."
Even if she resisted him, she would pretend nothing happened when her family was around.
To prevent my family from worrying...
But now...
Su Shengsheng, whose heart was pinched, stepped down hard in anger and shame.
Seeing the pain in Xie Xuanfeng's eyes, he raised his chin slightly with pride, "Since you know my family is here, why don't you let me go? Otherwise, I will complain and say that you bullied me."
Moreover, it was because of the imperial decree that he refused to help the scumbag.
As if he understood the threat in her eyes, Xie Xuan had to let go of the leopard claws.
Su Shengsheng snorted again before turning and leaving.
Seeing that she was no longer distracted, Xie Xuan slightly relaxed his frown.
He summoned the secret guards and whispered, "Go and find out if Wang Yongshou had any abnormal behavior or had contact with anyone before entering the palace."
"yes."
…
Looking at Bao Er who was tied up and brought back, Su Shengsheng's mood, which had just calmed down a little, started to twitch again.
Lord Ling, who had stepped up patrols due to the New Year's Eve, happened to discover the fire and brought the fire-fighting troops with him in time, and the fire was put out in an instant.
He also caught Bao Er, who was watching the fire, red-handed.
Looking at Bao Er, whose arson was exposed, with a frustrated look on his face and not daring to look up, Su Shengsheng was speechless.
"Since the princess confirmed that this man is your palace's secret guard, it must be a misunderstanding. I apologize for the inconvenience. I will take my leave now."
Facing the dedicated and responsible Lord Ling, Su Shengsheng dared not express any dissatisfaction.
He quickly asked Qing Ning to take the New Year gift and said, "Fires happen frequently during the New Year. Thank you for discovering it in time, so it didn't cause a disaster."
He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you all for coming all this way. I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."
Su Shengsheng is now a princess, so being half-courteous is against the rules.
Lord Ling and his men dared not refuse, but had no choice but to accept it and wished a happy new year together.
In fact, the identity of Bao Er has been confirmed by Old Master Su, but the last time there was a fire in the Su family's Shixianglou, no one has been caught yet.
Although Bao Er is the guard of the Su family, he should be by the princess' side, not outside the Su family mansion.
Lord Ling was suspicious, and seeing that Old Master Su also didn't know, he brought this person here to inquire.
They had no intention of coming to ask for a reward, but they saw that the princess was sincere and did not look down on them at all because of her rising status.
This made the young patrol soldiers who already admired her respect her even more.
After personally seeing them off, Xie Xuan, who was following behind her, said with a smile, "Madam, you made a mistake. Do you want me to make up for it?"
Su Shengsheng glanced at him angrily.
I didn't want to scare my family, so I just set a fire in the corner of the warehouse, and then someone put it out.
He, on the other hand, hadn't had enough of her making fun of him.
"Please, General, go with me to pick them up."
If we add fuel to the fire, we won’t be able to celebrate this year. Before the imperial edict arrives, it’s all over for us.
