A letter!?

No, you've sold me out with just ten thousand White Horse Cavalry?!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's forehead turned black.

He now realizes that none of his subordinates are easy to deal with.

Mao Xiang, Dian Wei, and now Zhao Yun is back.

014 The Three Heroes of Rebellion: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

"My lord, why don't you take a look at the letter?"

Zhao Yun asked cautiously.

In fact, Zhao Yun knew about Princess Nihuang's feelings.

At the same time, he also hoped that the two of them could be together.

It's not anything else, but Nihuang has military power and can help Xiao Jingyi.

In the unlikely event that her lord might suddenly decide to vie for the throne, Nihuang's military power would be of great use.

It must be said that both Mao Xiang and Zhao Yun...

They all hoped that Xiao Jingyi could take that position.

What Zhao Yun didn't know was that Xiao Jingyi did indeed have an idea now, and had already begun to take action.

"None of you have ever given me a moment's peace."

Xiao Jingyi chuckled and cursed, but still accepted Nihuang's letter.

After reading it, he said with a sense of helplessness, "It seems that I have no choice but to go this time."

"My lord, what is it?"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately said, "If this puts you in a difficult position, I can help you refuse."

"It's nothing major, it's just that my troublesome father wants to hold some kind of martial arts contest to find a husband for Princess Nihuang, and she wants me to go to the event."

"And she threatened that if I didn't go, she would declare in front of everyone that she had fallen in love with me."

To be fair, Xiao Jingyi knew that Nihuang had liked him for so long.

He also responded, otherwise why would he have asked Zhao Yun to help Nihuang?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun realized he had been overreacting and gave a sheepish smile.

"My lord, in truth, I think you and the princess are quite well-matched, and the princess also holds military power. If you..."

"Stop!"

Xiao Jingyi knew exactly what Zhao Yun meant.

In the past few years, when they were by my side, they were constantly urging me to rebel.

He sent these people out on two fronts: one, to let them develop on their own, and two, to give himself some peace and quiet.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Jingyi snorted: "Zilong, I hope you understand one thing: whatever I want to do, I can do it myself. Why do I need to rely on others?"

"Moreover, she's a woman; it wouldn't sound good if word got out."

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Yun replied with his head down.

But the next moment, as if he had just realized something, Zhao Yun looked at Xiao Jingyi with surprise and excitement: "My lord...you...you didn't deny it just now...nor did you tell me not to talk about it anymore."

Zhao Yun had said this before, but Xiao Jingyi had always retorted.

Tell him to stop talking about it and to stop thinking about it.

But in those words just now, there wasn't a single word of dissent.

What does this mean?

Zhao Yun dared not think about it further; he only felt his whole body trembling.

Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Xiao Jingyi smiled and shook his head: "I have to say, Zilong, you know how to grasp the key points."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was filled with respect and immediately stood up, walked to Xiao Jingyi, and bowed to him solemnly.

"Yun Ding will dedicate himself to the cause until his dying breath!"

"Alright, I know of your loyalty, but now is not the time. Wait until Hansheng and Gaoshun return in a few days, then you can have a good talk."

Hansheng, Huang Hansheng, is none other than Huang Zhong.

Gao Shun, needless to say, was a member of the Trapped Camp.

These two were the other two military officers that Xiao Jingyi had acquired back then.

However, they did not develop together with Zhao Yun. Gao Shun was sent by him to follow Xiao Jingyan, while Huang Zhong went to develop in other states.

Both of them are doing very well at the moment. Gao Shun's elite troops have taken shape, and Huang Zhong has become a local military commander.

"They're coming back too? That's great!"

Zhao Yun missed Gao Shun and Huang Zhong terribly.

You should know that the three of them conspired to instigate Xiao Jingyi to rebel...

They came up with a ton of ideas.

"Yes, I have already sent word to them, and I believe they will be back in no more than a month."

Xiao Jingyi was also quite helpless when it came to this.

This communication method is too outdated; it takes a month for one round trip.

This made Xiao Jingyi feel nostalgic for cell phones and the internet.

"A month, I understand."

Zhao Yun nodded emphatically, a hint of anticipation creeping into his heart.

If Huang Zhong and Gao Shun knew what their lord was thinking, they would be very happy.

In the end, our three heroes of rebellion triumphed over this rebellion.

Xiao Jingyi was unaware of Zhao Yun's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely have a headache.

He secretly lamented that he had encountered bad subordinates, each and every one of them possessing a rebellious streak.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingyi chatted with Zhao Yun for a while before Zhao Yun got up to take his leave.

After all, as a general of the Yunwang Mansion, he could not stay in the Yiwang Mansion for long, especially since he was somewhat famous.

After Zhao Yun left, Xiao Jingyi returned to his desk and looked at the map of Kyoto: "Now that Zhao Yun has returned to his post, and we are waiting for the other two, the other preparations should be almost complete."

Xiao Jingyi knew that even if it happened again, he could seize the throne by force.

But he still hoped for a more stable situation, after all, he didn't want to create chaos within the territory of Daliang, and then he would be busy stabilizing people's livelihoods after he took office.

He hoped to start conquering as soon as he came to power.

Everything he's doing now is for the future.

"Husband."

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

Xiao Jingyi looked up and found that it was his wife.

Xu Xiongxiong was a talented woman he met while traveling. The two even had a talent competition.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jingyi was slightly better in all aspects.

Then, the stubborn Xu Xiongxiong embarked on her journey of challenges.

After a while, the two of them kept challenging each other, and eventually their challenges led them to bed.

Later, Xu Xiongxiong married into the Prince's Mansion and became Madam Xiong.

However, what Xiao Jingyi didn't know was that his wife, Madam Xiong, had a very impressive background.

The two princesses of Beiliang, Xu Weixiong.

Her reputation as a talented woman was well-known at Shangyin Academy, and she even surpassed many of the teachers there to become a teacher herself.

Later, while traveling the world, he met Xiao Jingyi by chance, which led to their marriage.

"Xiongxiong, it seems you lost quite a bit today?"

When Xiao Jingyi saw Xu Weixiong arrive, she knew she had lost at mahjong that day.

This was also a custom among the women; whoever lost would come to him for comfort.

Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong nodded: "Yes, the sisters had such good luck today, I was the only one who lost. Your Highness, I'm broke."

Perhaps in the Northern Liang royal palace, Xu Weixiong was that feared princess.

But in front of Xiao Jingyi, she was now just a little woman seeking comfort from her husband.

Stepping up to Xiao Jingyi, Xu Weixiong nestled in her arms, resting quietly like a pillow.

"Hehe, I thought it was something serious. How much money did you lose? I'll pay it all for you. No, I'll pay it all for you, double the amount!"

Xiao Jingyi said magnanimously.

But Xu Weixiong rolled his eyes and extended a jade finger.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi said dismissively, "It's just a thousand taels, no problem. I'll send someone to give you two thousand taels tomorrow."

Xu Weixiong shook his head.

"Ten thousand taels?" Xiao Jingyi was somewhat surprised, but he could still come up with ten thousand taels.

Xu Weixiong shook his head again.

"Could it be 100,000 taels?" It was clear that Xiao Jingyi's tone was a little off.

Xu Weixiong weakly replied, "It is indeed 100,000 taels, but it's... gold."

!!!

???

Losing 100,000 taels of silver in a single day... and gold too?!

No way, Xiongxiong, are you really this wasteful?!

015 Xu Weixiong's Journey to the West, Mei Changsu Returns to the Capital (Please subscribe, please subscribe, please do everything)

"No way, you guys are going to go this far?!"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Xu Weixiong with surprise; it was the first time he had ever heard of them betting such a large sum.

A full 10 taels of gold!

If the price doubles again, that's enough for a month's income for him!

You should know that this was a business channel he developed by utilizing some of his insights from his previous life.

They were involved in salt trading, organizing caravans, and holding auctions.

Of course, he had others handle all of this; he just sat there collecting money.

But now that spendthrift woman, Xu Weixiong, has gambled it all away in a single day.

Fortunately, the one who lost was one of their own, otherwise Xiao Jingyi would have had his men wreck the place.

"Your Highness...I know I've lost too much..."

"No need to make up the difference. Your kind intentions are enough. I know this amount of money is a bit much and I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Seeing this, Xu Weixiong said weakly, his hands clenched tightly.

But her words sounded particularly harsh to Xiao Jingyi.

Do you think I'm broke?

He waved his hand dismissively: "Don't take it back! Words spoken are like water spilled; there's no way to take them back."

"I'll have someone bring it to me tomorrow."
