Chapter 777: Die without Regrets

Xiao Yu smiled, "The garrison commander and the county governor of Ping'an City have already secretly surrendered to my father. He just changed two deputy generals and disbanded and reorganized all the 10,000 city defense troops. Therefore, there will be no movement in the city."

He kissed Gu Fei, "The salt fields of the court are now all under our control. I will have someone send the salt permit to you in a few days."

As he spoke, his hands moved around dishonestly.

Gu Fei thought that he had a hard time fighting and always needed some entertainment activities. She softened her heart and did not push him away.

Xiao Yu's breathing gradually became rapid. He lowered his head to find Gu Fei's lips and kissed her fiercely. As they kissed, they didn't know when they rolled onto the bed...

More than ten days passed in a flash. Gu Fei received Xue Chen's letter that day and went to Ruyi Inn again.

The old shopkeeper led Gu Fei to the small building again, and Gu Fei brought Qin'er in.

As soon as the door was closed, Xue Chen suddenly knelt down with a serious face and kowtowed to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei did not move. After Xue Chen finished kowtowed three times, she smiled and said, "Get up quickly. Why are you doing such a big ceremony today? I can't bear it."

Xue Chen did not get up. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "I have discussed with my father what the Crown Princess said before. I am willing to lead Ruyi Tower to serve the Crown Princess."

"I, Xue Chen, swear here that from now on, the Crown Princess will be the person I will be loyal to for the rest of my life. Xue Chen is willing to die for the Crown Princess without regrets."

"If you break this oath, I, Xue Chen, will be torn into pieces by five horses and die young."

Gu Fei quickly reached out to help him up and smiled, "You suddenly made it so serious that it scared me."

Xue Chen got up and bowed respectfully, "I was not good enough before. I hope the Crown Princess will atone for my sins."

Gu Fei She said angrily, "Come on, I'm not used to you being so serious every day. I'd rather listen to your glib talk."

Xue Chen then laughed and said, "The Crown Prince's wife is indeed a woman of taste, and knows how to appreciate my strengths."

Gu Fei smiled sweetly, took out a seal and handed it to him, "Take this seal. From now on, the Zhenwei Escort Agency in various places will also be handed over to you. You will integrate Ruyi Tower and Zhenwei Escort Agency and establish a complete intelligence system as soon as possible."

"The intelligence related to the court and the military should be sorted out every day and distributed to the prince, the crown prince, and me."

"For the time being, it is decided to allocate 200,000 silver to you every year, and you will be accounted once a year. If the silver is not enough, you can add more as appropriate."

Gu Fei planned to use the profits of the palace fleet to support the intelligence system first.

Xue Chen didn't expect to get more silver, but he was overjoyed when he heard it.

You should know that Ruyilou usually only takes small business of a few hundred or a few thousand taels of silver. Big business like assassinating Xiao Yu, a high-ranking official, is hard to come by. Since the establishment of Ruyilou, it has only taken two orders of this size, and one order is enough for Ruyilou to live for several years.

Zhenwei Escort Agency is generally self-sufficient. Usually, it uses the money from escorting to support escorts and spies.

Gu Fei knows that if you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.

Only when the silver is enough can you develop and buy off the line.

Xue Chen carefully put the heavy seal into his pocket, and then said: "I just got the news that Duke Qin went out of the pass and fought with Prince An near Taiming. Duke Qin was defeated and led the remnants to withdraw to Jingling Pass."

"The emperor has received the news and has transferred Duke Ning to Jingling Pass, and ordered Duke Qin to return to Beijing to wait for punishment."

"By the way, Prince Dai has already captured Luocheng."
