The prince is very cruel

Chapter 760

"Then I'll do as you say, Brother Guan. I'm willing to follow you!" Nie Nan spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, his eyes showing a determination to fight to the end.

Seeing this, Lou Xinyue couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Bashan tribe leader, who was wary of the imperial court, was easily persuaded by Guan Ning to follow him through thick and thin.

You know, building an army privately is a capital crime!

"it is good!"

"But I want you to keep this matter completely confidential. If even a little bit of it is leaked, it will be a disaster for us. You must not let any news leak out until we are fully grown."

"Even if it arouses suspicion, it's not allowed!" Guan Ning was very serious. He knew very well that if the emperor became suspicious, then he would be guilty.

When they are in doubt, you'd better really have it!

"Okay, Brother Guan, don't worry. I understand the stakes involved. I'll personally handle this matter when I get back. I'll recruit these people under the guise of labor, and I'll give priority to those from my nine Bashan clans."

"I'll let you know as soon as everyone is gathered, but there's a problem... I don't know how to lead an army, let alone train one!" He looked a little embarrassed.

Guan Ning said: "Don't worry, I've already thought of this. You are only responsible for recruiting people, and I will take care of the training."

"I will train the officers in the capital."

"I'll let Yu Dilong deliver the message from now on. Let's just keep in close contact."

Nie Nan nodded heavily: "Okay!"

"Then it's settled."

"But... I still have to return that batch of gold..." he added. After all, the money was too much and he felt that he had taken advantage of it.

After all, 30,000 young and middle-aged men are not forced laborers. Even if they are trained into an army, they will be provided with food and wages.

Guan Ning shook his head: "This is my sincerity."

"If I can't even show this little bit of sincerity, how can I fulfill my other promises in the future?"

"With this money, you will be able to negotiate better with the elders of the tribe."

"In short, I won't treat you unfairly."

Nie Nan smiled bitterly, no longer insisting, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply and said, "In this way, I will thank Brother Guan for his great kindness on behalf of the tens of millions of poor people in Bashan."

Guan Ning smiled and patted his shoulder: "I see it's getting late outside, why don't you stay at my house for one night before leaving."

"No, Brother Guan, I have to rush back immediately. I have to inform my tribe of this good news as soon as possible. I will start building the road while also looking for soldiers for you."

Guan Ning didn't force it: "Okay, I'll take you there."

"..."

Not long after, Nie Nan left. He came quickly and left quickly, as if he had never been there. But who could have thought that at this ordinary moment, when everyone else was fast asleep, a decision that would change the situation in the Central Plains and even the fate of everyone in the future was made.

Guan Ning looked at the now-vanished Nie Nan and said with a smile, "Brother Nie is too straightforward. The gold is with him, and he could have embezzled it, but he still came to the capital to find me in person."

Lou Xinyue seemed troubled: "I don't know whether this is right or wrong."

Guan Ning turned around: "What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid I'll play with fire and get burned?"

Lou Xinyue frowned slightly: "I don't know how to put it. Other women want a great hero, but I just want simple food and a peaceful family."

She looked at Guan Ning with a rather resentful look, an expression she rarely showed.

Guan Ning smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do about it.

"Don't worry, after I finish investigating the Guan family's blood feud and am able to protect everyone around me, I will definitely stay with you and live a peaceful life."

Lou Xinyue didn't say anything, but slowly leaned her head on his shoulder and looked at the moon in the distance.

The two of them snuggled together for a long, long time before returning home.

After that, Guan Ning's days at home became much calmer. Although the palace guards would come occasionally, Guan Ning threw out some smoke screens and deliberately let Yuwen Hongdu's people investigate.

He himself stayed at home all day to recuperate from his injuries, and in his spare time he would lock himself in the study and write something like "Special Forces Outline".
