"You sent the iron eagle swordsmen from the Black Ice Terrace, and without the knowledge of the Yingchuan County officials, they disguised themselves and lived in the inn near the Han house, hiding arrows in ambush.

Xiao He's face immediately became extremely fierce.

"Yes.""

After he finished saying this, he immediately left this place of right and wrong.

The minister of household, Shen Wansan, once again came to Xianyang City in 893.

Inside the empty lobby, there was only his alone voice.

On the opposite side of him, there stood Bai Hei and Princess Yinman, quietly listening to his report.

In fact, Bai Hei was very curious about his arrival. It can be said that none of his colleagues liked him as the Minister of the Ministry of Household.

He is lonely, but also a capable person.

With his business skills, Daqin has come down year after year, and he has no worries about running out of money to fight.

But often the more afraid of something, the more something comes.

Under his remarks, bad news soon came out.

It is not the defeat in the front, but from the rear.

But it wasn't because of the remnants of the Six Nations, but because of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the bacteria were growing badly, the plague was rampant along the coast, and it even infected other counties. The money for disaster relief has become an astronomical sum.

Even if it can be paid now, it is not a long-term solution.

"The year of the catastrophe is not easy, the taxation is difficult in various places, and the disaster of the Xiongnu outside the city of Xianyang has endangered the foundation of the country.
