Three million dan of grain is indeed a lot.
They worked non-stop for two days and finally received all three million dan of grain.
During this period, Yun Zheng also had some food randomly sampled and basically found no problems.
It may be because the weather inside the pass has started to warm up, and some of the food has become damp during the journey.
After Yun Zheng and his men received the grain, Zhao Ji led his troops back to Fuzhou.
The next day, Yun Li arrived at the outside of Beilu Pass again, exhausted, bringing the families of Dugu Ce and others.
"Guess what the third brother is yelling about down there?"
Yun Zheng stood on the city wall of Guanshang and asked Shen Luoyan with a smile.
"He must be calling you insidious!"
Shen Luoyan said with a sweet smile.
...
...
Listening to Chen Luoyan's words, Ye Zi and Miaoyin nodded in agreement.
This guy is so insidious!
As long as Yun Li comes, no matter whether Wei Wenzhong can reach the imperial city alive, he will definitely be in trouble.
Even if the two brothers had the same ancestor, Yun Li would probably have started to curse Yun Zheng's ancestors.
"The third brother is ambitious, but his brain is a little screwed."
Yun Zheng still shook his head and smiled, "He brought 800,000 taels of silver, and I helped him kill Wei Wenzhong during the hostage exchange. Doesn't that mean it has nothing to do with him?"
“…”
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the three women were speechless.
This bastard, even though they are brothers in this situation, he still wants to cheat Yun Li of his money?
Return one million or eight hundred thousand taels of silver?
He really dares to think!
I guess Yun Li would rather be beaten by Emperor Wen than give him money, right?
If Yun Li were to give him more money, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
Just as they were talking and laughing, a soldier came up hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, the prince asks you to show yourself and have a chat."
"oh?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, since he wants to talk, let's talk!"
"I'll go with you!"
Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin spoke at the same time.
There is no doubt that Yun Li definitely wants Yun Zheng's life.
If the people around Yun Li suddenly attack when they meet, Yun Zheng might be in danger.
"Okay! Then let's go meet my third brother together!"
Yun Zheng chuckled and walked towards the pass with the two women.
Soon, they arrived outside the pass.
The two sides stood at a distance of one hundred feet from each other.
"Old Six, you are really capable!"
Yun Li looked at Yun Zheng with gritted teeth, wishing he could tear Yun Zheng into pieces.
"Third brother is also very capable!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I have already fled to Shuobei, but Third Brother still wants to kill me. Why?"
"Traitors and traitors must be killed by everyone!"
Yun Li cursed with a frosty face.
"Yeah, Third Brother is right."
Yun Zheng nodded with a smile, "Third brother, do you want to talk with me for a moment?"
"Okay! That's exactly what I meant!" Yun Li agreed readily.
Huh?
Does this birdman really want to talk to me alone?
So, is there any hope for me to do business with the third brother?
Yun Li stopped his guards and rode his horse to the side.
Yun Zheng also stopped Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin, and went to the side to meet Yun Li.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver. When you and I exchange people, you send someone to shoot Wei Wenzhong!"
Before Yun Zheng could speak, Yun Li put forward his conditions.
What the hell?
Can everyone answer the question quickly?
Yun Zheng widened his eyes and looked at Yun Li in disbelief.
This guy has been tricked by himself so many times that he has gained some experience?
This...this has become the roundworm in my stomach?
I haven't even mentioned this matter yet, but he actually brought it up on his own initiative?
The third brother has opened up his Ren and Du meridians!
This kind of third child is not cute!
He still liked to see the stupid and proud look of the third brother.
"Third brother, two hundred thousand taels of silver, isn't that too little?"
Yun Zheng came back to his senses, "You said, you are a prince after all. Wei Wenzhong died on the way back to the imperial city. Your father beat you in public. Where is your face?"
"Sixth Brother, don't go too far!"
Yun Li gnashed his teeth and growled, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver is my limit!"
This was the idea that Yun Li came up with when he left the imperial city.
He wanted Wei Wenzhong to die without implicated himself, so the only way was to use Lao Liu to kill Wei Wenzhong!
Although, he was extremely reluctant to give money to Lao Liu.
But he didn't want to be punished by Emperor Wen even more!
If you lose money, you can earn it again.
But if this face is lost, then it is lost forever.
The key point is that there are probably many generals in the court who suspect that he was the one who instructed Wei Wenzhong to do so!
If Wei Wenzhong died while being escorted back to the imperial city, those people would think that he was killing people to silence them!
Even if there is no evidence, it will be detrimental to his winning the hearts of the people as the crown prince!
By using Lao Liu to kill Wei Wenzhong, he can try his best to clear himself of suspicion!
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Third brother, you are a prince after all. A mere 500,000 taels of silver should be just a drop in the bucket for you, right?"
“No!” Yun Li gritted his teeth and growled, “I’ve said, two hundred thousand taels is my limit! If you want more, I’d rather be punished by my father!”
"Brother, I'm not asking for this money for myself!" Yun Zheng patiently persuaded him, "In the battle to break out of the siege at Goubian, we lost more than 30,000 people. Five hundred thousand taels of silver is not even a fraction of their pension."
It’s not for your own benefit!
If I don't give you even a tael of silver, won't you still have to pay this huge pension?
Yun Li was extremely angry, but as he needed a favor from Yun Zheng, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
At this moment, Yun Li was very conflicted.
Should I agree to this sinister thing?
If you don't agree, you will definitely be punished when you return to the imperial city.
Maybe my father is planning to punish me!
But if he agreed, he would be unwilling to do so.
This is five hundred thousand taels of silver!
This bastard emptied out my family's fortune when I was still in the imperial city.
Although he has saved some money in the past six months, it is still far from enough!
He borrowed part of the 400,000 taels of silver he brought this time from Xu Shifu.
If this bastard drains his family fortune again, he will even want to commit corruption despite his status as a crown prince!
This bastard feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t do something bad to himself every day!
"Third brother, you are a prince after all, why are you so cowardly?"
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Li with a smile, "If you keep nagging me, I'll raise my price!"
"you……"
Yun Li's face changed drastically, and he looked at Yun Zheng fiercely. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Four hundred thousand taels! I only brought four hundred thousand taels of silver! Not even one tael more!"
"You, the prince, are too poor, aren't you?" Yun Zheng said with a smile.
I am so poor, isn't it because of you, a bastard?
Yun Li cursed angrily in his heart, gritting his teeth and said, "It's just 400,000 taels. If you don't agree, I will just go back to my father to accept the punishment!"
"Okay, okay!"
Yun Zheng shrugged, "Since we are brothers, I will give you a discount."
Four hundred thousand taels is four hundred thousand taels!
Anyway, my father has said it in the letter, he is too lazy to change the crown prince again.
Even if Yun Li was allowed to go back and be severely beaten, he would not gain anything except gloating over his misfortune.
It would be more practical to exchange it for some silver!
Now the plate is big!
Whatever you can get is good!
Besides, being able to shoot and kill the traitor Wei Wenzhong in front of the soldiers at Beilu Pass can be regarded as revenge for the more than 30,000 innocent people who died!
That's it!
Deal with this matter quickly so that we can go to the front line to recover Weibian and Qingbian.
My father is so generous in fulfilling my wish, I can’t let him down, right?
Seeing Yun Zheng agree, Yun Li felt a little relieved.
Sixth brother!
Just wait for me!
This matter is not over yet!
Anyway, my father has already told me that as long as I don’t attack Beilu Pass by force, I can deal with the Sixth Brother in any way I want!
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with this bastard in the future!
