983: The Trap and the Trap



"Before we talk about money, let me ask you one thing," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xingnuo and said, "What can you eat with wild boar meat?"

Xianzong said: "The pork is in the pot, how can it run away? Can you think about the business?" At this point, Xianzong wanted to slam the table again. He had a nest of spies from the previous dynasty in the court and provoked an enemy named Mo Wen. He wanted to go to war but had no money in his pocket and no food in the granary. He was already in a state of panic. His daughter was thinking about wild boar meat.

Yu Xiao: "I want to talk about money after I'm full. Isn't eating a serious matter?"

Xianzong raised his hand and pointed at the door and said, "Get lost."

If it wasn't for the wild boar meat, Yu Xiaoxiao would have wanted to leave a long time ago. When she heard Xianzong asking her to leave, Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "I'll leave right away when the wild boar meat is ready."

Xianzong, you go away, what else can we talk about?

"Princess," Jing Mo had to say, seeing that the royal father and daughter were about to fall out before they even talked about the main business, "War is very expensive."

Yu Xiaoxiao thought about Jing Mo's words carefully and said, "Well, war is very expensive." As a person who had spent her entire life in the army, how could Yu Xiaoxiao not know that war requires both manpower and logistics? Yu Xiaoxiao just would never believe that Jing Mo and his gang would be short of money.

Jing Mo said: "The princess really understands"

Yu Xiao: "I understand. There's no point in fighting a war without money."

Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao was being reasonable at the moment, Jing Mo began to make things difficult for Su Zhao and Yu Xiaoxiao. To put it bluntly, he started to cry poor.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand what was said, but she got the main idea. In a word, the six countries could put together an army, but they couldn't raise enough funds for the war.

Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao didn't respond after he had been talking for a long time, Jing Mo called out to Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't believe you."

Jing Mo was upset and a little sad after hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said. He was telling the truth this time. And thinking back, had he ever lied to Yu Xiaoxiao?

Su Zhao asked Yu Xiao: "Then the princess doesn't believe me either"

Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it and shook her head. This person is the same as Jing Mo and cannot be trusted.

"Princess," Zuo You said at this time, "you can come back to Baihu with me, and I will show you my Baihu treasury."

Yu Xiao: "How do I know that you won't order your subordinates to transfer all the money in the treasury before I go?"

Zuo You said: "Am I that kind of person?"

Yu Xiao: "When it comes to money, we have to be suspicious of everything."

"What about writing an IOU?" Zuo You tried to ask Yu Xiaoxiao.

"I'll give you a mountain of gold in exchange for an IOU" Yu Xiao: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zuo You said: "Well, let's use our things as collateral."

Yu Xiao: "What treasure can bet on a mountain of gold?"

Zuo You hardened his heart and said, "I will give you the White Tiger's jade seal as collateral."

This time, not only Emperor Xianzong was shocked, but Jingmo and the others were also shocked. The imperial seal is a national treasure. This man wanted to use the imperial seal of Baihu as collateral.

Zuo You asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, do you think my sincerity is enough?"

Yu Xiaoxiao moved her fingers and said, "I gave you a mountain of gold, and you gave me a piece of jade this big." She raised her hand to indicate the size of the jade seal, and said to Zuo You, "You can just carve a piece of jade and use it as a seal, and you actually want to take away my mountain of gold."

Zuo You was dumbfounded. Your Fengtian jade seal was carved casually from a piece of jade.

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head at Zuo You. It was the end of their friendship. This guy was treating her like a fool.

"Pa", Zuo You raised his hand and slapped himself on the mouth. Why couldn't he just shut up?

Xianzong asked Yu Xiaoxiao at this time: "Why are we fighting with Mo Wen if we have no money?"

Yu Xiao: "I don't believe the emperor has no money. You have three emperors in total."

Xianzong said, "Father has no money."

Yu Xiao: "You guard such a huge imperial palace, and you still complain about being poor"

Xianzong said: "What do you mean?" The imperial palace is huge, can it be used to smash Mo Wen to death?

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her tyrant father very seriously and said, "If you really want to make money, I'll ask Boss Qian to estimate the price of the Imperial Palace. The housing prices in Fengjing are very expensive. The Imperial Palace is so big, with so many houses and gardens, it must be worth a lot of money."

Xianzong is so angry that he wants to sell the imperial palace

Yu Xiao: "You don't have to sell all of them. You can just sell the empty houses in the palace. It just so happens that I want to buy a house. Since I'm your daughter, can you give me a discount?"

Xianzong's eyes went dark for a while. If it wasn't for the fact that this girl was his own daughter, he would have had her thrown out and killed. "The Imperial Palace is our ancestral family business," Xianzong slammed the table and roared at Yu Xiaoxiao, "Do you know what our ancestral family business is, you unfilial daughter? You even took our ancestral family business for granted."

Yu Xiaoxiao said with a sluggish face: "If you die at the hands of Mo Wen, what's the point of talking about your ancestral property? I tell you, if you are killed by Mo Wen because you can't bear to give up a few houses, your ancestors will definitely not be happy to see you."

"Aren't my ancestors your ancestors?" Xianzong slammed the table.

"My dad will go crazy if you keep talking about this," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo and said, "Jing Mo, do you understand what I mean?"

Jing Mo shook his head. He really didn't understand. "Princess," Jing Mo said to Yu Xiao: "Even if you sell the Imperial Palace..."

Zuo You slapped his forehead and scratched his ears. These words really didn't sound like human words.

Jing Mo glanced at Zuo You and continued to say to Yu Xiao: "I don't think anyone dares to buy a house in the imperial palace." Is it possible that the emperor and the common people live in the same compound? I can't imagine it, okay?

Yu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said, "Whoever said so, I will buy it."

"What's the point of buying a house for you alone, Princess, in terms of the war?" Jing Mo asked Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiao: "Well, then you must have something valuable in your hand, so you can pawn it for money. What's more important, life or money?"

Jing Mo smiled and said, "Which one do you think is more important, Princess?"

Yu Xiaoxiao said without stuttering, "I don't have to choose, because Mo Wen can't kill me."

Jing Mo couldn't laugh anymore and said, "So the princess asked us to sell our respective palaces."

"This is my personal opinion," Yu Xiao said, "If you don't want to sell the Imperial Palace, you can sell the Imperial Seal."

Do ordinary people want to rebel by buying imperial seals?

Xianzong no longer wanted to talk to his stupid daughter.

Jing Mo wanted to talk to Yu Xiao, but he felt that he couldn't get along with her.

"Yan Ruo," Emperor Xianzong called Young Master Gu. His Majesty Emperor Xianzong had no hope for Gu Xinglang, as this fellow was just like his daughter.
