No Love

Chapter 158 Military Pay Stolen

Melon lowered his head, seemingly at a loss, but in fact, the pressure from Nanli was too great, and he was on the verge of collapse!

"I am of lowly rank and position, and I dare not look you in the face."

As he spoke, Melon knelt down.

In Nan Li's eyes, he was afraid of himself.

In fact, Melon was overwhelmed by Nanli's pressure and couldn't stand!

Nan Li frowned, this guy is smart!

He flicked his fingers and shot out a needle, and the ice-blue light instantly disappeared into Melon's body!

Melon's body trembled slightly and a painful expression appeared on his face.

In a moment, cold sweat broke out!

The acupuncture needle flowed out along with the sweat!

Pah,

Falling to the ground, the sweat beads shattered and the needles disappeared!

He is a puppet fairy.

The one who created him chose his master!

The puppet fairy will not serve two masters!

Nan Li’s expression became even more solemn!

"Your sister must be a beauty."

A moment later, Nan Li said with a smile,

"Get up."

"Thank you, sir."

Melon bowed respectfully, then stood up. The moment he stood up, his legs were shaking.

"You go to the pepper room and protect the lady."

Nan Li had a very good attitude and a gentle tone, and he was not at all cold and harsh towards others.

"As ordered."

Melon turned around, wiped off the sweat quietly, and walked silently towards the pepper room.

In the firelight, the pavilions and towers of the government building were swaying. Nan Li looked at his back, the corners of his mouth raised in a cunning smile.

I secretly thought:

The puppet fairy cannot serve two masters. However, he has thoughts and choices, and he chooses to protect the master he wants to protect.

Protect my woman.

With you here, the master behind you will appear in front of me!

"Someone is coming."

Several guards came running over, sweating profusely, and stood far away, respectful yet distant.

"Please give me your orders."

Nan Li didn't know what they were afraid of, so he didn't expose it. It was about the puppet government. It was hard to argue.

Let time make you forget everything.

"There's something fishy about the fire tonight. Organize three teams immediately. The first team will immediately check the warehouse.

The second team selected 30,000 soldiers and searched the entire city for suspicious persons.

The third team will go back to rest and follow me to the headquarters at dawn..."

The guards agreed and left quickly.

Nan Li was looking at the Tongzheng Government with flames rising to the sky, feeling extremely depressed. That thief had accomplices!

I just don’t know whether the thief tonight is an official or a civilian.

If he is an official, he must be related to the group of people in the military camp!

Thinking of this, Nan Li's eyes were full of doubts:

My lord, if you are short of money, you can just ask us to pay you a tribute.

If you don't know...they secretly steal from the government, whether they live or die is not decided by us...

*

The next morning.

Nanli led five hundred government guards to the military camp.

He handed over the official disc and urged to meet with the chief executive.

When the Yulin Guards received the official disc, they immediately reported it to the Grand Commandant.

Lieyan held Nanli's official disc and slowly walked towards the area surrounded by tassel trees while admiring the scenery of Ningshui River.

The twenty-four envoys are having dinner.

Lieyan walked to Han Zhengxun delicately and handed him the official disc respectfully.

"The head of the Tong government wants to see you. Please ask Envoy Han to make the decision."

Han Zhengxun: “…”

Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards, are you in the right place?

I... His Highness, who is in charge of the government, has not yet risen. On the ruling platform, I am the one in charge.

Commander, I suspect you did this on purpose!

"According to the regulations, the head of the government cannot enter the military tent without a notice from the current head of government."

Han Zhengxun stood up and said seriously.

Lieyan said respectfully again: "In this case, I will personally reply to Lord Nan."

Han Zhengxun: “…” You did it on purpose.

For this kind of thing, why don't you go to that arrogant and domineering senior sister but ask me instead?

Lieyan looked at Han Zhengxun's half-smile and turned away in a good mood.

Inside Wang Yuqi's tent, Bei Xuan was taking out the contents of the Eight Treasure Swallowing boxes, while Liu Xiaoqiao was busy sorting them one by one.

Wang Yuqi numbered these treasures one by one, and compiled the time of entry into the warehouse. She also carefully filled in the hometown, name, and request of the person who donated the treasure.

After the last piece of ten-thousand-year-old red coral, which was as tall as a person, was numbered, Wang Yuqi stretched and said to Bei Xuan:

"You're done. Next, you have to take them to the military warehouse. Remember: they must be stored in the innermost position!"

Bei Xuan was stunned, rubbing his sleep-deprived eyes, very puzzled:

"The military arsenal! How dare Nanli inspect it?"

Wang Yuqi yawned and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to be treated as a thief by Nan Da, just listen to me."

"No way?"

Bei Xuan hesitated for a moment, looking at the treasures in the tent with a painful look on his face. If these were exchanged for money, the military pay for the Shuiwan garrison would be solved!

However, if Nan Li wants to take it back... the eighty sticks are mine... and it is Your Highness who is not strict with his subordinates.

This is not possible,

"I'll go."

Bei Xuan immediately became alert when he thought that these treasures might change hands accidentally.

"Deacon Liu, please help put it in the box!"

"coming."

Liu Xiaoqiao and Bei Xuan were busy putting treasures into the Eight Treasures Swallowing Heaven Box.

Lieyan took the official disc and walked slowly over to take a look at the mountains of various precious items.

He raised the official disc in his hand and reminded quietly:

"People were coming. We couldn't stop them."

"Your Highness, go and block it."

Bei Xuan didn't think twice and immediately answered.

"I'll be there in a minute. Don't let him in for an hour."

Lieyan looked at this person who was so flustered, his lips curled up and he couldn't help laughing.

Wang Yuqi looked over coldly, and Lieyan shuddered. He put away his smile and stood aside respectfully.

"What are you standing for?"

Wang Yuqi said with disdain,

"Go back and tell him: His Highness is dressing up."

Lieyan was speechless. He shook his head helplessly, then walked away slowly with the official disc.

Nan Li stood quietly outside the military tent. The Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards personally received him. This person in charge was very knowledgeable about the rules.

I just don't know if there is any limit to his understanding of rules.

Time passes moment by moment.

The Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guard is here again.

Nan Li bowed from a distance and said, "Excuse me, Grand Commandant: Can you see the chief?"

Lieyan held the official disc in his hand, with a cheerful look on his face.

"Master Tongzhengzhushi, Master Shi has to go out on important business. The one in power now is Zhishixingjun. Girls, you always have to dress up."

Nan Li heard this and a hint of displeasure flashed across his brows. It was fleeting, and then he said with a smile:

"Haha, waiting for the woman to wash up is also what I should do."

Lieyan was counting the time silently in his heart. Given Her Highness's laziness, it would be a huge favor to Nanli if she could comb her hair neatly at the moment she went to the central military tent.

If you want to delay, then delay it openly.

"Lord Nan, this is a very important military location, you..."

Nan Li waved his hand, and the government guards stood on both sides, each holding a sword in their hands, looking at the flames menacingly.

"Captain, I will go to the central military camp alone."

Nan Li said with a smile,

"But there is one thing I want to tell you in advance: the Tong government was robbed last night. They stole the military pay I prepared for the border troops!"

The military pay was stolen!

Nanli, you really have a high opinion of the law!

Lieyan gritted his teeth and maintained a decent smile, resisting the urge to draw his sword, and replied:

"So Lord Nan is here to ask for help. Please follow me."
