Shangguan Xuanyi hurried back to the post station. Apart from taking the 100,000 taels of silver, he also had another task—to take possession of all the grain Gong Qinghua had stored over the years as soon as possible!
He was confident that the Nangong Emperor would not go to war, because he knew that the granaries of Nangong Country were empty!
Now that he knew about this grain, he doubted that the soldiers of Nangong Country on Zhan'er Island would retreat easily!
Unless absolutely necessary, Shangguan Xuanyi did not want to start a war, firstly not to cause suffering to the populace, and secondly to avoid putting Shangguan Wanru in a difficult position.
Upon returning to the inn, Shangguan Xuanyi took the 100,000 taels of silver and put them into his space.
He then filled the original silver boxes with stones, locked them, and asked Zhao Yong to hire guards from the escort agency to send them back to Minze Country.
By the time all of this was done, it was already dark.
