Chapter 106: The Brutality of the Regent King Seduces the Fair-skinned Young Eunuch 52
"The Cui and Wang families wanted to take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune, but they didn't have enough money, so I encouraged them to use their assets as collateral for loans. They used the loan sharks to buy the grain I shipped from overseas at low prices."
"As a result, all the food was looted by the rioters, and they had to pay you high interest. They lost all their money and had no choice but to sell their property to repay your loan!"
This time, Xing Shuyun interrupted Mu Bailin's proud words.
"It's true that there is no business without fraud. I will stay away from you from now on, or else you will be eaten till there is nothing left!"
Xing Shuyun added another sentence.
"You have self-awareness, are you afraid?"
It was a rare opportunity for Xing Shuyun to admire him, and Mu Bailin was so excited that his tail was almost up to the sky.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are all the food and supplies in place?"
Huo Chen interrupted his senior brother who wanted to continue bragging and asked.
"Don't worry, I'll do the job. All of them have been shipped to the designated location in batches ten days ago!"
Mu Bailin answered seriously.
"Shu Yun, the Zhenxi Army has already set out for Shu under the leadership of Huo Yide. You only need to solve the problem of food and military pay for the Zhenxi Army!"
"I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Xing Shuyun's tone was obviously much more relaxed.
"Huo Twelve, during this period, the exchange of information between the border, Shu, and Kyoto, and the transmission of intelligence, must be ensured to be fast and accurate!"
Huo Chen ordered Huo Twelve.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
"Shuyun, while I am away from Kyoto, there will definitely be people who will cause trouble. Suppress them bloodily when necessary. Make sure the rear is stable! Huo Er will stay in Kyoto to cooperate with you!"
Huo Er and Xing Shuyun received the order at the same time.
"Brother, stay here. You all go and prepare. In five days at most, I will personally go to the border to guard it!"
"Yes!"
After the three of them responded, they left the Yangxin Palace together.
After the three people left, Mu Bailin's expression suddenly became serious.
"Only a few people survived the last caravan that returned from the Turkic Empire. They had been looted by the Turkic Empire. The famine in the Turkic Empire was far more serious than you and I imagined. You should know how terrible the fighting power of a group of hungry wolves is!"
Mu Bailin's relief just now was all pretended. The two-front war was already very difficult, and there couldn't be any more bad news to dampen morale.
"No matter how hard it is to chew this bone, we have to chew it. We have no way out!"
The fierceness in Huo Chen's tone was not concealed at all.
"I'll leave Yiyi to you. I don't trust the others!"
Huo Chen did not plan to take Lin Yi to the battlefield.
"In fact, you are not sure about the chances of winning this war, right?"
Mu Bailin asked worriedly!
"The King of Shu is nothing to be afraid of, but he has tied down the Zhenxi Army. The other border troops must prevent other countries from taking advantage of the situation. This time, the Huo family army can only resist the entire Turkic army. I am not sure!"
Huo Chen could only say these words to Mu Bailin.
"I will take good care of my junior sister! I will wait for you to come back and attend your wedding banquet!"
After Mu Bailin finished speaking, he clasped his fists and left.
Huo Chen stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Palace, looking at the camp of the Jinwu Guards with a gentle expression.
Lin Yi had already learned about Huo Chen's plan from Tang Yuan, and secretly cursed Huo Chen for acting on his own, but she could only focus on the current military doctor training matters.
Two days later, Mu Bailin delivered the glassware needed by Lin Yi to the research laboratory of the Imperial Hospital.
Lin Yi had completed her part of the training at this time. Under Wei Qing's escort, she returned to the palace. She did not meet Huo Chen, but went directly to the research laboratory of the Imperial Hospital.
Lin Yi now has only one idea, which is to develop the best Yunnan Baiyao before setting off.
Huo Chen only knew that Lin Yi had returned to the palace after Wei Qing reported it. He wanted to have dinner with Lin Yi, but was rejected by Lin Yi.
"Your Highness, the girl said that she will be living and eating in the laboratory these days, and she will come out when you go to the battle!"
Qianyu stood at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, bowed and saluted, and calmly stopped Huo Chen from entering.
During the time that Qianyu and Hongying have followed Lin Yi, they have completely submitted to Lin Yi and now obey Lin Yi's orders.
Huo Chen frowned, but still followed Lin Yi's wishes and returned to the Yangxin Palace.
Sure enough, on the third day, news came that the King of Shu had raised an army to attack, but Lin Yi, who was concentrating on his research, did not care.
On the afternoon of the third day, the old man Shengshou also returned to the palace and participated in Lin Yi's research.
The two worked together and finally completed the optimal formula of Yunnan Baiyao at noon on the fourth day, and then organized the Imperial Hospital to rush the production.
When Lin Yi returned to the back hall of the Yangxin Palace, Huo Chen had already lain down to rest. She climbed onto the bed and nestled into Huo Chen's arms.
"Don't even think about abandoning me. If anything happens to you, where do you think I'll be safe? If you want to protect me, do it yourself!"
There was a hint of complaint in Lin Yi's tone.
"It's too hard at the border, and it's even harder in the military camp. I don't want you to suffer!"
Huo Chen tried to persuade Lin Yi.
"Do you think I can only share the good times but not the bad times?"
Lin Yi got angry and started to make a scene.
"I just can't bear to do it!" Huo Chen tried his best to explain.
"Then you think I can bear to let you go?"
Huo Chen remained silent. He really couldn't convince Lin Yi, nor could he force her.
"I must go with you this time. If you don't take me with you, I will disappear from your sight forever. You should know that I can do it!"
Lin Yi said in a firm tone.
Huo Chen was not calm this time. After spending a long time together, he had already noticed that Lin Yi was different, but knowing that Lin Yi was willing to stay with him, he tried hard to convince himself not to care.
But now that Lin Yi said this, Huo Chen really believed that Lin Yi could do it.
"Little girl, why can't you let me save some energy!"
Huo Chen said helplessly.
"Achen, if I stay by your side, you will have an extra layer of safety. My medical skills may save your life in times of crisis!"
Lin Yi stopped talking nonsense and spoke her true feelings. At the same time, she added in her heart: With Tangyuan around, many potential dangers can be avoided.
This is the biggest reason why Lin Yi insisted on following Huo Chen. Only by staying with Huo Chen can she pass on reliable information to Huo Chen at all times.
"I can bring you with me, but once you are in the military, you must obey orders and not make any dangerous decisions!"
Huo Chen compromised reluctantly.
The two of them slept in each other's arms, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and charming.
At the morning court the next day, Huo Chen announced his decision to stay at the border to resist the Turks. He also announced that Xing Shuyun and Queen Dowager Zheng would assist the young emperor in handling state affairs.
After the court session, Empress Dowager Zheng brought the little emperor to the Yangxin Palace and asked Lin Yi to come and talk with them.
After Lin Yi arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Empress Dowager Zheng stood up and bowed to Huo Chen. This was a commoner's greeting to the emperor.
Queen Mother Zheng did not wait for Huo Chen to speak. After she finished her greeting, she stood up and spoke.
"Your Highness, the Prince Regent, I await your triumphant return, but I hope that when you return, Queen Mother Zheng and His Majesty will no longer be around!"
Queen Mother Zheng spoke with great sincerity.
"What does the Empress Dowager mean?" Huo Chen asked knowingly.
