Seeing Gongga's expression changed drastically, Chen Yongda secretly rejoiced that Lin Cang's idea was really a good one.
Then he heard Gongga say with a trembling voice: "The five cities can be allocated to you, but please don't make any announcement about it for the time being."
The five cities connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains are completely five small gold mines for a country like Xiqiang in a wild land.
The tax revenue collected from merchants in these five cities each year is a considerable amount of wealth.
Because the King of Xiqiang loved his youngest son, he specially allocated these five cities to Gonggar.
Among them, he only had to pay a certain amount of funds every year, and the remaining taxes were completely at his own disposal.
Therefore, as long as the old man doesn't know about it directly, he can still hide it until next spring.
And during this year, he tried to find a way to steal it back secretly Chen Yongda watched with his own eyes as Gonggar put his personal seal on the land deeds of the five cities, and then reluctantly handed them over to him, and then he laughed with satisfaction.
After Chen Yongda left, Gongga's face completely darkened because he found that his soldier talisman was missing.
The jade seal was thrown to the ground, but the golden medal of military talisman awarded to him by the King of Xiqiang himself disappeared.
Xuanhua She must have stolen it during the chaos.
Gongga was so angry that he smashed everything in the tent to pieces.
Chen Yongda ignored his anger and returned to the camp with the title deeds of the five cities contentedly.
Zimin looked calm and relaxed in his clothes and was drinking tea.
Seeing Chen Yongda's excited face, he couldn't help but smile: "Then the third prince compromised."
"Can you not compromise?"
Chen Yongda said with excitement, "The five cities that were lost in the hands of the late emperor finally returned to our Daqi.
The credit this time is not simple."
It's just that Lin Cang seemed to have expected what happened just now, and even taught him in advance to blackmail Gongga into using five cities as hush money.
Because of this incident, he had to admire Lin Cang's shrewd and cunning business acumen, but at the same time he also drew closer to him.
"Congratulations, General Chen," Zimin said with a smile.
Chen Yongda looked at him and asked curiously: "How did Brother Lin know that the third prince would definitely hand over these five cities?"
"Because I am not a good man or woman.
If he knew that the princess was forcibly broken by him, I would never let him go."
Zimin took a sip of tea.
He would not tell Chen Yongda that it was not the King of Xiqiang that made Gongga fearful, but the poisonous monks from the Western Regions around him.
"But I have to tell you one thing.
The princess was secretly replaced by the queen," Chen Yongda whispered, "replaced by the late emperor's noble concubine Xia Yunqing."
Zimin pretended to be surprised and looked at Chen Yongda with wide eyes: "Concubine Yun is really so brave.
She dares to pretend to be a princess."
"I guess it's not her own wish, I'm afraid it's the idea of the person above."
Chen Yongda pursed his lips in the south direction.
Zimin laughed: "If she hadn't agreed to this matter, I'm afraid Concubine Yun would not have been able to come to General Chen's army."
Chen Yongda sighed: "The queen didn't even inform me of what she did this time.
She almost exposed her secret when I saw Xia Yunqing just now."
"The queen has considered it more carefully.
Of course, the less people know about this matter, the better."
Zimin comforted him, but then added, "It's just that if General Chen hadn't adapted to the situation this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to win these five.
"City!"
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen
