Jiang Lu vomited and said in embarrassment: "At least...at least ten thousand taels of gold." To bribe a minister with ten thousand taels of gold, and there are so many ministers in the court, how much gold is needed? Even if it is done by yourself,

Even the treasury can't fill this bottomless pit! It seems that Zong Yuan's estimate is not wrong. He really has to come to the capital in person, otherwise, he will not be able to wait for the emperor's edict to confer the title.

Thinking of this, he turned back to Letian and said: "Letian, help me check someone out!" "Who is it?" "The captain of the guard next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xiao Min! I want to know when she will leave the palace. After leaving the palace, she will usually

Where are they going, and how long will it take to find out?" Before Lotte could say anything, Jiang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up and she answered first, "Do you want to see this Xiao Min, sir?" "That's right!" "Then...

...Xiaguan has a way to let you see her tonight!" Jiang Lu said with confidence, his eyes shining.

"Oh?" Tang Yin looked at Jiang Lu in surprise and asked, "Did you and Xiao Min have dinner and drinks together?" In Tang Yin's impression, Xiao Min, as Yin Rou's captain of the bodyguard, was aloof.

She is so arrogant that her tail is almost raised to the sky. She doesn't take anyone seriously. With such a bad temper, can she get along with Jiang Lu?

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "Sir, although I don't know Xiao Min, I do know her uncle, Shaofu Xiao Qingfeng. I think if Xiao Qingfeng invites her out of the palace, she will definitely give him face." The Shaofu is.

Officials in charge of the royal family's private property have positions that are neither big nor small, but the Shaofu are usually people who are deeply trusted by the emperor and are close ministers. Tang Yin was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Jiang Lu knew Xiao Min's uncle.

Things will be easier to handle, Jiang Lu still has some effect.

"How do you know that Xiao Qingfeng is Xiao Min's uncle?" "Haha, sir, Xiaguan has had dinner with Xiao Qingfeng several times, and I heard him mention Xiao Min as his niece several times during the dinner, so Xiaguan remembers it very clearly.

"Oh!" Tang Yin smiled and said: "Tonight you have a banquet, invite Xiao Qingfeng, and ask Xiao Qingfeng to invite Xiao Min too." "Yes! Sir!" Jiang Lu responded simply,

After adjusting his clothes, he said again: "Sir, I will go to Mr. Xiao's house right now." "Yes." Tang Yin had no objection and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Jiang Lu was about to leave, Tang Yin said to Jiang Fan uneasily: "Jiang Lu

"Fan, you go with Mr. Jiang and protect Mr. Jiang's safety." Now that dark spiritual cultivators have come to the door, Tang Yin is not worried about letting Jiang Lu go out alone again.

Jiang Fan accepted the offer and followed Jiang Lu outside.

The relationship between Jiang Lu and Xiao Qingfeng is pretty good. Since Jiang Lu came to Beijing, she has made friends with the court ministers and spent lavishly, often giving him a daughter. Now that the imperial power is weakening, the power of the ministers in the imperial court is even lower. On weekdays,

No one here would come to please them. Now that someone like Jiang Lu finally appeared, it would be easy to win the favor of the ministers. Xiao Qingfeng, the young master, was one of them.

When they arrived at Xiao's residence, they met Xiao Qingfeng and Jiang Lu exchanged warm greetings with him. After the polite words were finished, Jiang Lu got straight to the point and said, "Master Xiao, I have reserved a room in Yuebin Building in the evening, and I would like to invite Xiao to the evening."

Let’s have a meal together, I wonder if Mr. Xiao has time?” Xiao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: “Since Brother Jiang came to invite me in person, even if I am busy and have no time, I still have to go there as a favor.

Ah!" Jiang Lu said with a delighted smile: "That night, I will be waiting for Mr. Xiao to welcome you." "It's easy to talk about." "By the way, there is one more thing." Jiang Lu said with a smile: "I remember Mr. Xiao once said that I am your niece.

I serve as the chief of guard next to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I wonder... Mr. Xiao, can you also invite your niece to get together?" Jiang Lu suddenly invited Xiao Min, which surprised Xiao Qingfeng. He pondered for a moment and asked with a smile:

"Why did brother Jiang suddenly invite my niece? Could it be..." "No, no, no! Mr. Xiao, please don't misunderstand me. Wan Sheng just admires the princess very much and wants to know more about it through your niece."

There is no other intention regarding the princess." "Oh, that's it." Xiao Qingfeng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Brother Jiang, please rest assured, I will be there with Xiao Min tonight." "Thank you, Xiao."

Sir, thank you so much, Sir Xiao!" Jiang Lu cupped her hands and thanked her again and again.

Jiang Lu didn't stay longer at Xiao's house, and chatted for a few more words before getting up and leaving.

Yue Bin Building is one of the four most famous restaurants in Shangjing. It is spacious, grand and luxurious. As long as it comes at night, the restaurant will be full of guests and bustling with people.

When Tang Yin and Jiang Lu came, they finally saw how generous Jiang Lu was and how their gold was spent by him.

Everyone in the restaurant, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, was extremely enthusiastic about Jiang Lu. They looked at him with different eyes than others, their eyes shone as if they had met the God of Wealth.

Jiang Lu said she had booked a single room, but in fact she had booked three adjacent rooms at once. Tang Yin, Lotte, and Jiang Fan were puzzled as to why Jiang Lu had booked so many rooms.

Seeing Tang Yin's doubts, Jiang Lu took the initiative to explain before he asked, "You must think that I have booked too many rooms, right?" Although these ministers of the imperial court have no real power, they are more particular than the others.

For example, they don't like to be disturbed when they are having a meal. If there are people next door, the slightest noise will arouse their disgust, so Xiaguan simply booked all the rooms on both sides, so that he doesn't have to worry.

Being disturbed can also allow the ministers to relax and eat, drink and have fun at will, so that they can talk about things more easily." So that's it! Tang Yin shook his head and smiled. This doesn't mean that Jiang Lu did something wrong, but the cost was big enough.

Especially in a restaurant as high as Yuebinlou, a private room for a first-class room costs at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver!

Tang Yin didn't say anything more, and he, Jiang Lu, Letian, and Jiang Fan entered the middle room and sat down one after another.

It was already evening when the three of them arrived. After a short wait, Xiao Qingfeng arrived, and with him was a female general with a gloomy face. To participate in such a private banquet, there was no need to wear official clothes, and this

The female general was better, she was dressed in military uniform, with a helmet on her head and a robe and a girdle. She didn't look like she was here to eat, but more like she was here to fight.

Hearing that Xiao Qingfeng had arrived, Tang Yin, Lotte and Jiang Fan did not move. Jiang Lu took the initiative to greet him downstairs. Seeing that Xiao Qingfeng had brought his niece, Jiang Lu was smiling, walked forward quickly, and bowed.

He said, "Wan Sheng has met Mr. Xiao!" As he spoke, he looked away, then looked at the female general, and asked with a smile: "This must be Miss Xiao Min, right?!" "Are you Jiang Lu?

"Before Xiao Qingfeng could speak, the female general asked first.

"Exactly." Jiang Lu nodded with a smile.

"What's your purpose of meeting me?" The female general's tone was a little more relaxed. Jiang Lu was much younger than she thought. She looked like she was only in her twenties. She looked pretty good and fair.

Very polite, polite and decent.

"Haha!" Jiang Lu laughed softly and said sideways: "Miss Xiao Min, please come upstairs. When you get upstairs, you will naturally know your intentions." I don't know what kind of medicine he is selling in the gourd, but the female general still follows Xiao Qingfeng.

Entering the restaurant, Jiang Lu led him to the reserved private room.

Xiao Qingfeng was a little surprised to see three strangers he didn't know sitting in the private room, but he wasn't too worried. After all, the followers around him were all outstanding spiritual martial arts masters. He turned around and asked behind him

Jiang Lu said: "Brother Jiang, these three are..." "These three..." Jiang Lu didn't know how to introduce Tang Yin and the others. Just when he felt embarrassed, Tang Yin stood up and faced Xiao Qingfeng and him.

The female general next to him walked over and stood in front of the two of them. Tang Yin first smiled at the female general and said, "Captain Xiao Da, I haven't seen you in the past two years, but you still have a good demeanor. Congratulations!" Looking at Tang Yin in front of him,

The female general couldn't believe her eyes for a moment. She took a step back in surprise, pointed her finger at Tang Yin's nose, and stammered: "You...you...you..." "Are you so surprised to see me?"

!" As Tang Yin spoke, he looked squarely at Xiao Qingfeng in front of him, raised his hands and said, "Master Xiao, I'm Tang Yin. It's really rude that I couldn't visit you in person." "Tang Yin?" Not to mention that the female general's face turned pale with shock.

Even Xiao Qingfeng took a breath after hearing Tang Yin's name. Although Feng Country is thousands of miles away from Shangjing, he still knows that there is a war in Feng Country. Tang Yin now controls Feng Country's army. Basically, Feng Country is

The uncrowned king of the country, why did he suddenly arrive in Beijing? When did he come? What makes Xiao Qingfeng even more strange is that Tang Yin seems to know Xiao Min...

The female general asked him the question in his heart. After she came to her senses, she looked Tang Yin up and down with surprise and joy, and shouted: "You... you are really Tang Yin! When did you arrive in the capital?"

The female general is none other than Princess Yin Rou’s head guard, Xiao Min.

Of course she was no stranger to Tang Yin, and she was deeply impressed. The last time she visited Feng Country with Yin Rou, Tang Yin accompanied Yin Rou all the way as the escorting general. He even showed off his skills on the way, beating away the assassins who tried to assassinate the princess. Unfortunately, they arrived

Not long after he arrived in Yancheng, Tang Yin was transferred to Pingyuan County to take up a post, and he never heard from him again.

Xiao Min was full of surprises when he saw Tang Yin, and Tang Yin was not the same. When he saw her, he naturally thought of Yin Rou, and he was eager to know Yin Rou's current situation, but it was too rude to ask straight to the point. Tang Yin

I could only suppress my impulse and ask Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Min to sit down.

Until she sat down at the table, Xiao Min's eyes were still fixed on Tang Yin's face. It's strange to say that when she and Tang Yin were together, they always quarreled, and then they separated, and they would always think of her unconsciously.

Just like now, meeting Tang Yin again was like seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he felt indescribable excitement in his heart.

Tang Yin smiled at Xiao Min, but did not speak to her immediately. Instead, he focused his energy on Xiao Qingfeng first. He glanced at Le Angel, who understood, took out the brocade box that had been prepared, and gently
Chapter completed!
