Greed is the Original Sin.

With regards to the military expenditures, Xiao Jiu'an repeatedly grinded the emperor and the Minister of Revenue. From morning to night, she grinded them until the emperor and the Minister of Revenue didn't even have any use for lunch. She could only use a few snacks in the hall to accompany Xiao Jiu'an in continuing her grind.

Of course, what they were grappling with was not the question of whether or not to give, but the question of how much to give.

It was only because Ji Yunkai had married into the clan that some of the silk had been used up.

Xiao Jiu'an had Xiao Jiu'an's request, the emperor had his own plans, and since both sides had different thoughts, they could only discuss slowly, discuss everything, and calculate everything …

Yanbei Army's military expenditures were a big matter, and could not be explained in a few words. Even after the Emperor had spent a day with Xiao Jiu'an, he still could not come up with a single reason, not to mention how tired he was.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how unreasonable Xiao Jiu'an was, she couldn't possibly stay in the palace and not return, right?

It was dark, the palace gate was about to be locked, Xiao Jiu'an had to leave even if she did not go out, as for tomorrow?

If it really wasn't possible, wouldn't it be fine if he didn't see Xiao Jiu'an tomorrow?

The emperor patiently accompanied Xiao Jiu'an for a few more sentences, but when he saw that there was still fifteen minutes until the palace's door was locked, Xiao Jiu'an still had no intention of leaving, so she could only helplessly ask the emperor to drive them out.

The emperor interrupted the Minister of Revenue's words without a care in the world. "It's already very late today. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

"Err …" The Minister of Revenue froze on the spot, momentarily forgetting what he had just said. Fortunately, he didn't remember now and there was nothing wrong with it.

Hearing that the emperor had finished his speech, the Minister of Revenue didn't say a word and immediately bade farewell.

After accompanying Xiao Jiu'an and talking for a day, crying his last days of poverty, his eyes, head, and mouth were all tired. Her heart was even more tired, he no longer wanted to talk about the Yanbei Army's military expenditures.

This matter was not reasonable at all for the imperial government. No matter how they said it, they were in the wrong.

Xiao Jiu'an had long seen through the emperor's guilt and impatience. Seeing that the emperor didn't care about face and took the initiative to kick him out, Xiao Jiu'an lowered his eyes, covering up the mockery in his eyes and left as the emperor wished.

He had taken one day, and that was enough.

As for tomorrow?

Tomorrow, he would enter the palace again. As a person, one must have the beginning and the end. As for whether or not the Emperor would meet him, that was not something he could care about.

He turned around and walked out of the hall. Before going down the stairs, he paused for a moment and raised his head to look at the dark gray sky.

It was too late for the emperor to give the order now. It was already a foregone conclusion.

Taking a step forward, Xiao Jiu'an walked out of the hall at a moderate pace …

At this time, in the mining area outside the city, Feng Qi looked at the sky, then looked at the Yanbei Army who was continuously shipping gold and ore out, she paused for a bit, but finally gave the order: "Get the people inside to stop mining."

In fact, there weren't many gold ores left inside, but humans were always like this, lacking in greed, especially for the things in front of them. In fact, there weren't many gold ores remaining inside, but humans were always like this, lacking in greed, especially for the things in front of them.

He did not know that although he might be lucky enough to escape death, it was not every time he was lucky enough to encounter one.

"Stop? Sir Feng Qi, it's still very early. " They did not need to rest at all, and could at least work for another two hours. Even if they were tired, they still had their brothers to take over. They did not need to stop at all.

One had to know that their time was limited. If they stopped for even a moment longer, they would lose a moment's worth of gold ore.

"Everyone stop and retreat. This mine is not going to be reclaimed." Feng Qi opened her mouth once again, his tone calm, but there was a domineering tone to it that could not be refused.

Yanbei Army was startled, but still obediently withdrew.

The assistant general had said that since the prince was not around, they would listen to whatever Sir Feng Qi said. No matter what orders Sir Feng Qi gave them, they could only listen to him.

After the men left, Feng Qi ordered his men to take out the explosives and place them at the designated place. When the Yanbei Army heard the order, her eyes stared wide open, but she still followed the order instinctively, even though she was extremely confused, the Yanbei Army still obeyed obediently.

Before the sky turned dark, he had already set up all the explosives and came over to report to Feng Qi: "Sir Feng Qi, everything has been settled."

"Alright, leave one hundred people behind, and the rest will retreat out of the forest." Right, don't forget to bring the imperial army out as well. " Feng Qi did not slow down at all, she gave the order step by step. Yanbei Army might be uneasy, but she had already executed the previous order, was it worth it to not carry it out at this time?

"Sir Feng Qi, are you going to blow up the mine now?" The deputy general couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Feng Qi replied indifferently, and did not say anymore.

There were some things that ordinary soldiers did not know, but the deputy general in the military understood.

"Must it be now? Can't we wait? There are still a lot of gold ores inside, so we can at least mine a little more. " The deputy general knew that this was a must, but he was always a little reluctant in his heart.

They wouldn't think too highly of themselves if they couldn't get what you wanted, but the gold ore is right in front of their eyes. As long as they work hard, they would be able to get even more.

He felt as if he was going to spit out everything he sent to his hand. This feeling was as painful as cutting meat.

Nine Master said, "Today is the second half of the night, in the making of the cake …"
