Chapter 42: Quelling the Rebellion in Southern Xinjiang (2)

Du Yunjin saw that he understood and smiled shallowly at him. As everyone knows, that smile is like a spring breeze transiting, making the seedlings buried deep in Xiao Shaokang's heart grow rapidly, and will eventually bloom into gorgeous and deadly flowers.

"Ninth brother." A soft call called back to Xiao Shaokang's deep thought, and he looked up, it was the delicate flower that was talking to him.

Du Yunjin deliberately slowed down his pace, stopped at Xiao Shaokang's side, lowered his voice and said, "The ninth brother has always liked to study medical skills, I wonder if the ninth brother has any pills that can double people's spirits in a short period of time?" ”

Energetic in a short period of time? Xiao Shaokang looked at her vigilantly, his eyes fixed on her face, and he didn't answer for a long time. Her mind is actually very easy to guess, she asked this is nothing more than knowing that she can't hold out to Long Island County, and she wants to stabilize the morale of the army, so she asked such a question. She didn't know that she had been studying drugs for many years, how could she not know that all diseases need to be treated with the right medicine, and slowly recuperate in order to break the roots, if it is a short-term improvement, it can only be done with side efforts, and the pain she will suffer in the future will be far greater than what she gets.

Seeing that he was deep in thought and didn't speak, Du Yunjin just thought that he didn't have such a medicine in his hand. But such a drug does exist, she had heard Qing Ruofeng hear it before, and it seemed that she still begged Qing Ruofeng to help her find it. In this way, I don't know if I can find it, and even if I find it, my father will probably know about it, and I will let my father worry about her for no reason.

"It doesn't matter if the ninth brother doesn't have it, I'll figure it out myself." Du Yunjin smiled at him and rode his horse towards the team in front of him.

This person......

Isn't it because this trip is burdened with Xiao Yu's position as the crown prince? As for being like this, I can't even care about my life!

Xiao Shaokang looked at the back reflected in the sunset, and thought hatefully in his heart.

Located in the southernmost part of the country, southern Xinjiang is exposed to the sun all year round, and it is a scorching summer day all the time. With abundant sunshine and proximity to the sea, the vegetation here is flourishing, and all kinds of tall trees that have never been seen in the Central Plains are lined up, which also breeds a lot of natural poisonous fog.

Changdao County is the southernmost point of southern Xinjiang, and it is an island surrounded by the sea on three sides and standing at the forefront. Most of the people on the island are fishermen, and almost all of the people make a living from fishing, although it is hard and dangerous, but life can go on. Until the appearance of the Yiren dragged them to hell completely. The Yi people also live on the islands, but their islands are small and scarce, and they once had border trade with Nagashima County, and they knew that Nagashima County was rich and beautiful, so they made an early calculation in their hearts. Over time, they basically became pirates, robbing whatever they encountered, first robbing fishing boats that went to sea, and then openly going ashore and directly robbing Long Island County. However, they were similar to the dogs, as soon as the imperial court sent troops, they immediately returned to the sea with the spoils of war, and as soon as the imperial court collected the troops, they immediately came to the island again to rob them. They acted without any rules, and they did exactly what they wanted, which made countless generals very troublesome.

After Du Yunjin heard that Rong Jingcheng was defeated in this battle, he was ruthless and moved all the people within thirty miles of the coastal area of the island, vacating all the desolation in that area, and waiting for the Yi people to come ashore. The soldiers were divided into several posts, and within the demarcated boundaries they were bound to patrol posts, and as soon as the Yiren crossed the line, they cut them down. The Yi people are like fish in water in the sea, and they are not afraid of the army of the imperial court, but when they go ashore, they are ravaged by people, and they can sift as much as they want. In terms of combat strength, they could not fight against the well-trained imperial army, and their advantage could not be displayed on the shore, so they did not dare to fight against the imperial army, and did not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step. But don't cross this thunder pool, in that desolate area, don't say that there is no treasure left, not even a grain of rice. Unable to get any benefits but helpless, I heard that the leader of the Yiren was so angry that he cut down the most powerful adviser around him.

This method is good, but the people of Long Island County have been living by fishing, and now Rong Jingcheng has issued a ban on the sea, not allowing anyone to cross the border, and also making those people unable to make a living, making trouble all day long.

Although Du Yunjin has an extraordinary record, she is fighting against the dog Rong outside the crescent moon city with her father, and she is not sure of the heyday of an opponent like the Yiren in the environment of southern Xinjiang. But her expedition was not her responsibility alone, and there was an even heavier burden on her shoulders. These and so on made her feel a little breathless, so that she knew that her body was about to reach its limit, and she was about to be unable to hold on and was unwilling to rest for a day or two.

"General, the official document of the imperial capital."

Du Yunjin took the briefcase from the hand of a soldier with a young face rippling on his face, and skillfully opened it to take out the contents inside.

Although Xiao Yuli was still in charge of the grain and grass for this expedition, he did not trap Xiao Yu after all. Every ten days, Xiao Yu would send an official letter to her, talking about food and grass and so on, and by the way, she would attach a letter to her family.

He wrote his family letter by hand, word by word.

Du Yunjin carefully took it out, looked at it over and over again, and finally folded it and put it in his arms, the closest place to his heart, as if doing so could make Xiao Yu, who was far away in the imperial capital, feel his sincerity.

Most of the family letters have also been supervised by Xiao Yuli, and Xiao Yu wrote very simply, most of them are already safe, don't read four words. It is these four words that can make Du Yunjin survive the tiredness and illness that is about to fall again and again.

Knowing that Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang had come to Changdao County, Rong Jingcheng sent his cronies to meet him in a small town near the city, and he also waited outside the city himself.

"Miss."

He recognized at a glance the heroic man on the horse, he had followed Du Bocheng for nearly 20 years, how could he not know Du Yunjin!

"Uncle Rong." Rong Jing is still two or three years older than Du Bocheng, and Du Yunjin is indeed qualified to take on this uncle.

"Miss." He smiled as he had done in Crescent City, touching the top of the little girl's head, his hand just stretched out but froze, hanging back unnaturally. "See the crown princess and Niangniang, see King Yu."

"Let's be flat." Of course, Du Yunjin saw his careful change, in front of everyone, even if she didn't have to pay attention to these false courtesies, but she had to accept it, after all, she represented the royal family at this moment.

"Uncle Rong, I have been named your pioneer by my father, so please call me Du Xianfeng in accordance with the rules of the army. The same is true of King Yu, who is the overseer of this expedition. ”

"Overseers?" Rong Jingcheng felt harsh when he heard these two words, and in order to prevent his subordinates from taking the opportunity to support his own troops, the emperor often sent a prison army when he went out to fight, acting as his own eyes and ears to control his subordinates. He remembered that the previous expeditions had the shadow of obstruction by the prison army, so he was extremely disgusted with these two words, and Xiao Shaokang was still a half-grown son who had not reached the crown, even if it was the emperor's own son, it always made people feel a little dissatisfied and unconvinced.
