Chapter 118 Write an IOU and take it away
Jiang Bai did not like being an emperor, and never thought of letting Jiang Lu or Jiang Songwen be emperor.
But if the Third Prince really doesn't want to rebel, she could take matters into her own hands.
Ming Yu was terrified; he could tell she wasn't joking with him.
Considering the current situation in Qian Yuan Kingdom, although his father, the emperor, excessively doted on his mother and even indulged in pleasure by building a palace that wasted resources and caused hardship for the people, he could not possibly have fallen to the point of rebellion.
“I haven’t heard what you said today, and you haven’t said it either.”
"Jiang Bai, there are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot be said."
He kept a stern face, thinking that he needed to meet with Ji Yanwen and ask him to keep an eye on Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai's face held a hint of mockery.
"You've been unconscious for several days, so you probably don't know what's going on outside."
Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. He controlled his expression and calmly asked, "What happened outside?"
"The people of Luzhou have rebelled."
"What did you say?"
He suspected there was something wrong with his ears.
"To be precise, it was the Third Prince who led the people of Luzhou in rebellion." Jiang Bai spoke again, his words a bombshell.
Mingyu's ears were ringing as he thought that after he fled to Mangshan, he was brought here by Jiang Bai.
When did he rebel?
"Don't disbelieve me, His Majesty has already sent the Crown Prince to Luzhou to quell the rebellion."
Jiang Bai was also surprised. Almost as soon as she came out of Mangshan, the news that the Third Prince Ming Yu had led the people of Luzhou in rebellion spread throughout the entire Qian Yuan Kingdom.
If she hadn't been so confident that she hadn't mistaken him for someone else, she would have suspected that the Third Prince had really rebelled.
Later, she sneaked into Luzhou to take a look, and there was also a third prince there, who looked exactly like this third prince.
The black-clad guard who could disguise himself was named Jia Yi. He went with Jiang Bai and, after examining the man, told Jiang Bai that he had not actually disguised himself.
A person who did not disguise himself looked exactly like Ming Yu.
They even went against us at this crucial moment.
Just then, the western barbarians attacked, demanding that the emperor hand over Consort Jia.
The emperor refused, so troops were sent from the west to attack.
Within just a few days, news of the barbarians invading the border and the Third Prince's rebellion spread like wildfire, making it seem as if someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
And this is just the beginning.
The Third Prince's rebellion served as a signal, and news of rebellions also spread to other regions.
In just one night, the Qian Yuan Kingdom descended into chaos.
After hearing the news that Jiang Bai had found out, Ming Yu was speechless for a long time.
"You're saying the rebel looks exactly like me?"
Jiang Bai nodded.
In general, unless the two people are twins, they wouldn't look that alike.
After a moment of silence, Ming Yu said, "That person has taken my identity. Do you think my rebellion can succeed?"
If it really is that person, this whole thing must have been brewing for a long time.
He is all alone now, and it is already difficult enough for him to survive. Why would he want to rebel?
"It's okay if it doesn't work out, just don't expose me."
Jiang Bai waved his hand dismissively, after all, if he didn't work out, he could just find someone else.
"However, with your spatial ability, you must have some luck. Something as simple as rebellion shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Mingyu was shocked. He subconsciously raised his hand, then immediately lowered it again.
"Rebellion is not that easy."
Suppressing the murderous intent surging within him, he lowered his head, not letting Jiang Bai see the expression on his face.
Her martial arts skills are too high; if you make a move rashly, you will definitely not get the better of her.
How could she know he had a spatial ability?
Ming Yu's face was grim as he recalled the details of his encounter with Jiang Bai. He was certain that he had not revealed the existence of the spatial dimension.
His secret weapon was his hidden strength, which he had never revealed to anyone.
How did she know that?
He was slightly irritable; he couldn't remain calm if anyone's secret was discovered.
"Rebellion is naturally very easy."
“Raise an army, kidnap those ministers, and then beat those who are not convinced to submission, and you will naturally succeed.”
Seeing that he avoided talking about the space, Jiang Bai didn't want to provoke him any further, so he went along with what he was saying.
She just made it sound simple: maintaining an army doesn't cost money?
Thinking this to himself, he asked the question.
"You should focus on recovering first. We can talk again once you're fully healed."
Jiang Bai didn't say much, and Ming Yu settled down in Jiangjia Village.
Another ten days passed, and the fighting outside intensified, but Jiangjia Village enjoyed a rare period of peace thanks to Jiang Bai's presence.
In about ten days, bamboo walls have been erected around the area bordering Jiangjia Village in Pingshan, and the area inside the walls has been divided into several sections according to Jiang Bai's drawings.
When Mingyu first stepped into this place, he was startled by the pack of wolves kept in captivity on the mountain.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Bai led the way, bringing him to the wild boar's lair.
Ming Yu's brow twitched.
"What did you bring me here for?"
"Aren't you looking for the treasure left behind by the Yu family? I'll personally take you there."
When Jiang Bai exposed his purpose in arranging for Ji Yanwen and Yu Shang to get close to her, Ming Yu didn't feel awkward at all. He just pretended not to know anything and went with Jiang Bai into the underground tunnel.
He showed no impatience whatsoever during the two-hour journey.
Jiang Bai opened the stone door in front of him without any hesitation and led him to the stone chamber where gold and silver jewelry were stored.
"The silver here should be enough for you to recruit soldiers and horses."
Ming Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the boxes.
This number is not much.
"have a look."
At this moment, Jiang Bai handed him a booklet, which he took without hesitation. It contained the account book of these valuables.
"Just give me an IOU, and I can take these things away."
Anyway, there's plenty of gold and silver in Mangshan, so giving this away won't affect her plans.
Jiang Bai thought to himself.
Mingyu was taken aback. He thought she was going to give it to him, but he didn't expect her to ask for an IOU.
Noticing his expression, Jiang Bai widened his eyes dramatically and said in disbelief, "No way, you don't think I'm going to give you all this treasure for free, do you?"
Is she some kind of selfless, naive, and innocent girl?
Although these things were not hers, they were passed down from her ancestors. She lent them to him because she saw that he had some integrity and the appearance of a wise ruler.
But Jiang Bai couldn't bring himself to give it away for free.
He awkwardly touched his nose.
And you know what? That's really what he thought.
"I'll write an IOU."
He quickly responded and, under the pressure of Jiang Bai's gaze, wrote down an IOU.
"Take it!"
Jiang Bai glanced at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred, then pointed to the gold and silver jewelry beside him.
Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but faced with millions of treasures, he gritted his teeth, touched each box one by one, and put all the items into his space.
"That's outrageous! You're allowed to set fires for your own son, but I, an ordinary citizen, am not allowed to light a lamp."
Watching the large boxes disappear, Jiang Bai muttered curses under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
Jiang Bai resumed his normal expression, ignoring the thunder he heard.
Go ahead and hit her, it won't hurt her.
Bringing people to the other side, that's the main event.
