1024 borrowing troops, the process is really unpleasant

When two countries are at war, there is a saying that envoys will not be killed, not to mention that they are not at war yet, so he, the envoy, should be safe. But at this moment, Xiao Yang has a sense of crisis that he may be killed at any time. |

The Ninth Prince of Dongling was indeed as terrifying as his reputation said. Originally, he could still remain calm and composed, but after reading the letter, he could hardly even stand still.

The majesty and murderous aura emanating from the Ninth Prince of Dongling could make a strong general kneel down and be willing to submit to him, let alone a small figure like him.

If Xiao Yang hadn't thought about not losing face for Tai Cheng, he would have definitely knelt on the ground at this moment, then rolled out and pretended that he had never been there.

silence!

It was so silent that even the wind was still.

After reading the letter, the Ninth Prince did not say a word. He just stared at Xiao Yang. Just this one look was enough to make Xiao Yang feel pressured. He wanted to speak several times, but when he met the Ninth Prince's frosty eyes, he could not utter a word.

For the first time, Xiao Yang realized that time was so unbearable. Instead of standing here facing the Ninth Uncle, he would rather switch places with Feng Qingchen and stay in the secret cave without coming out. At least there he would not feel like he was about to die for the time being.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was kind. When Xiao Yang's legs were shaking and he was about to kneel down, the Ninth Prince spoke: "Tell the Lord of Tai City that I will be there on time and present the Lord of Tai City's things."

After saying this, the Ninth Prince stood up and walked out. When he passed by Xiao Yang, he threw the letter in front of Xiao Yang and said, "Tell Tai City Lord on my behalf that I thank Tai City Lord for his great gift. It is impolite not to reciprocate. I have made note of what happened yesterday."

"Pa..." The white paper scratched Xiao Yang's cheek. Xiao Yang did not dare to move, and let the white paper scratch a bloody mark on his face. When the Ninth Emperor's uncle stepped out of the door, Xiao Yang finally couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground with a thud. There was no trace of blood on his face. Cold sweat kept flowing down. His heart was beating fast. |

"Oh my god, the Ninth Prince of Dongling is so scary. If I had known this, I would not have rushed to deliver the letter." Xiao Yang's lips trembled. Outside the door, the personal soldiers did not despise Xiao Yang when they saw him like this, but felt deeply sympathetic towards him.

If you offend the Ninth Prince, you are doomed to have no good ending. If you happen to run into the Ninth Prince when he is angry, you deserve to be in trouble.

Knowing Feng Qingchen's whereabouts, the Ninth Prince felt relieved. At least Feng Qingchen was not in danger of life. However, when he thought of what was written in the letter, the Ninth Prince's face darkened again.

Gold mine!

At the border between Shandong and Taicheng, a gold mine was discovered and occupied by Shandong, but why didn't he know about it at all? The court didn't know about it either.

"Go and find out who owns the gold mine now." The Ninth Prince knew that Tai Cheng would not act without a purpose. If he was not sure of the existence of the gold mine, Tai Cheng would never take the risk of kidnapping Feng Qingchen.

"Yes." Shadows floated, no one appeared, only someone responded.

No matter how much he investigated, he still had to ask the necessary questions and make the necessary preparations. The Ninth Prince turned around and called the Governor of Shandong.

The only person who had the ability to keep the matter of the gold mine in Shandong secret was none other than the Governor of Shandong. However, the Ninth Prince did not mention the matter of the gold mine. To do so at this time would only alert the enemy.

The Ninth Prince simply said that he had found out the whereabouts of Feng Qingchen and asked the Governor to transfer 3,000 troops from Shandong to him so that he could go and rescue Feng Qingchen.

"Ah... this, this..." The Governor of Shandong was in a dilemma, and his fat chin trembled.

Although the Ninth Prince did many extraordinary things in Shandong, he always pretended not to see them, but that didn't mean he could give his troops to the Ninth Prince. He could only mobilize 10,000 soldiers to protect the city, and the Ninth Prince wanted to take 3,000. This was too...

"What? The Lu family can maintain 5,000 private soldiers in Shandong, but I can't even mobilize 3,000 soldiers? Could it be that I am not as good as the Lu family?" It is true that the Lu family maintains private soldiers, but the Ninth Prince has not found out the exact number. However, it is certain that it is at least 5,000 troops.

The Governor of Shandong panicked at first, but soon calmed down and said calmly: "Your Highness, please calm down. I am also following the law. It is not that I am unwilling to give, but it is really that the prince has no right to mobilize troops. As for the Lu family raising private soldiers, it is just a rumor. Please investigate it clearly."

"Law? My beloved concubine is missing in Shandong. What should you do according to the law?" The Ninth Prince knew that the Governor of Shandong would not admit that the Lu family raised private soldiers. He said it only to warn the Governor of Shandong that he was not completely ignorant of the situation in Shandong.

We should be held accountable according to the law, but...

"Your Highness, the princess needs to be conferred a title by His Majesty, and Miss Feng Yunying is unmarried." Therefore, the person who was lost was just a commoner, and even if he was responsible, he would not be seriously injured.

"If I say she is she, then she is it. What? Governor, you don't agree?" Only the emperor could disagree with the selection of the prince's consort. How could the Governor of Shandong dare to agree?

The Ninth Prince did not make things difficult for him and continued, "Since Your Excellency is unwilling to mobilize troops, then I will go and borrow some. I believe that given my status, I can still borrow 10,000 or 20,000 garrison troops."

The military and politics are separated. The Governor of Shandong has 10,000 city defense troops. These soldiers are used to maintain local stability. Several large cities will have garrisons. There is a garrison of 50,000 near Shandong. The Ninth Prince is talking about them.

"Your Highness, this matter..." The Governor of Shandong said with a bitter face.

There have always been many conflicts between the garrison and the local army, and the garrison generals are his mortal enemies. If those garrisons are allowed to enter, will he, as the governor, still have a say?

With just one order, they could surround his governor's mansion and leave him no chance to show up.

This is a really difficult matter.

The Governor of Shandong looked conflicted, and the Ninth Prince did not say anything, waiting for the Governor of Shandong to express his opinion.

If the garrison enters the city, it means that the Ninth Prince is planning to launch a mutiny and use force to take over the entire Shandong Province. If there is no reasonable reason for launching a mutiny, then the Ninth Prince is committing treason.

In order to avoid being charged with treason, the Ninth Prince would definitely have to find someone to take the blame, and no one is more suitable than the Governor. The Ninth Prince believes that the Governor of Shandong will understand this.

The Ninth Prince clearly forced the Governor of Shandong to lend him troops. Even if the Governor of Shandong did not believe that the Ninth Prince would really borrow troops, he did not dare to take the risk. What if the Ninth Prince went crazy and really borrowed troops?

No matter what happens to the Ninth Prince, he will definitely be the first to die.

In the end, the Governor of Shandong gave in. Since ancient times, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the bully, and the bully is afraid of those who are not afraid of death. The Ninth Prince acted as if he was not afraid of death, so what could the Governor of Shandong do?

The Ninth Prince had taken away 30% of the 10,000 defenders. If the Governor of Shandong knew who the Ninth Prince had used these 3,000 troops against, he would probably regret it so much that he would bang his head against the wall...
