Ji Wan also laughed and said to the two, "Are you okay in the barracks today?" You have time to be here at the same time. ”

When she said this, the Ninth Prince also remembered his business, "Don't say it, there's really something, I'm just here to find Yutang." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang stood up and said to Chi Wan, "You have a good rest, I'll come to see you at night." ”

"Got it, go ahead."

After Xie Yutang left in a hurry, Chi Wan stopped the Nine Princes, the smile on her face disappeared all of a sudden, she looked at the Nine Princes, her eyes revealed worry, "Lord, what happened?" ”

The Ninth Prince smiled kindly, "It's okay, don't think about it." ”

But Chi Wan obviously didn't believe it, "Don't lie to me, something must have happened, otherwise why would you and Yutang be so busy?" ”

"Winter is coming, the army needs to be renovated, and you also know that most of our people are ordinary people, who have not undergone formal training before, and will definitely suffer losses against the enemy in the future, so take advantage of the training now."

This explanation did not satisfy Ji Wan. But she also knew that if she continued to ask, she would not get any results, and if the two made up their minds not to tell her, they would definitely not tell her. Sighing silently, Ji Wan's face was full of worry.

The Ninth Prince couldn't bear it, and said two words of relief, "Don't worry, the problem is still under control, and we can solve it." ”

Chi Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Okay, I believe in you." ”

The Ninth Prince smiled and turned to leave. Chi Wan held the ferret in her arms and stroked the ferret's head one by one, "Xue'er, do you know what's going on outside, this kind of feeling of being kept in the dark is really uncomfortable." ”

Cher shook her little head, very smart. Sticking out his tongue and licking Ji Wan's hand, he seemed to comfort her.

"I'm glad you're by my side, Cher, you're just in time."

The ferret squeaked a few times at her, and the four little short legs were still pulling out, Chi Wan blinked suspiciously, "Xue'er, what's wrong with you, do you want to go out and play?" ”

Hearing this, the ferret moved even more happily, and Chi Wan knew that she was right, so she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, "On such a cold day, you still dare to go out, and you are not afraid of being frozen into an ice sculpture." ”

As she spoke, she nodded the ferret's wet nose, causing the ferret to look at her with resentment.

Chi Wan touched its head, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, but you still can't go out, just stay in the room with me, and when the weather warms up a little, I'll take you out to play." ”

The ferret stopped moving, and obediently lay in Chi Wan's arms, her little head resting on her pillow, and from time to time she stuck out her tongue and licked her face or hair.

"It's so itchy, Cher, don't make a fuss." Ji Wan chuckled and pinched the ferret's paw to play.

Outside, the Ninth Prince caught up with Xie Yutang, "We've been hiding it from her like this?" ”

"Or else?" Xie Yutang's face was expressionless, the army was his business, and now that there was a problem, it was he, the general, who had figured out a way, how could he make Chi Wan upset, not to mention, she was still injured.

The Ninth Prince sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long, with Wanwan's cleverness, she has already guessed that something happened." ”

"Hide it for as long as you can." Xie Yutang said, striding forward.

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said secretly, it can only be like this, when the time comes, Chi Wan's health will be better, and if she tells her about this, it will not hurt her body too much.

Thinking about it, he also quickened his pace and caught up with Xie Yutang.

Passing by the camp on the way, many soldiers came up and asked, "Lord Wang, when will we have food?" ”

The Ninth Prince smiled and reassured, "Don't worry, everyone, we are already thinking of a way, and we will soon let everyone have a full stomach." ”

Someone whispered, "Every time I say that, in fact, it's not that I can't eat enough." ”

"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore, that's the prince." Immediately someone rebuked the previous man.

"What's wrong with the prince, now as long as he can let me have a full meal, I will call him uncle."

These voices are neither loud nor small, and the Nine Princes can hear them, and the worries in their hearts can't help but be a little more. As long as they do not solve the food problem, these people will not be able to settle down for a day.

Chi Wan woke up from a sleep, rubbed her eyes, and habitually reached out to hug the ferret next to the pillow, but when she reached out and touched the air, she suddenly lost all her sleepiness, and immediately opened her eyes, only to see that the pillow was empty, and there was still the shadow of a ferret.

She sat up cautiously, looked around the room, and called softly, "Cher, Cher, where are you?" ”

Usually the ferret will also play this kind of game with her, usually hidden under the table, next to the cabinet, or under the bed, but today, Chi Wan searched all three places, but she didn't find it, and she gradually began to panic in her heart.

When I looked up, I saw that the door was ajar, and there was only an arm-thick gap left, and the ferret was not big, and it was completely possible to squeeze out of it.

The blood on Chi Wan's body almost rushed to the door of her head. She didn't care about the injuries on her body, and immediately opened the door and went out to look for the ferret, and while looking around anxiously, she called the name of the ferret, "Cher, Cher, where are you?" ”

I didn't find it after looking around, and when I met people along the road, Chi Wan would ask two questions, but I got a roll of the other party's eyes and a cool sentence, "People can't eat enough, and they still raise ferrets, is there really something wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan frowned suspiciously, what is it that people can't eat enough, although her food in the past few days is not good, but she can also eat enough.

However, seeing the dish on the face of the walking man, she wisely swallowed the words in her mouth and continued to look for the ferret in another place.

When she found a camp tent, Chi Wan suddenly heard a conversation coming from inside, this camp tent was different from others, it should be the main account, and the main account was probably discussing military matters, Chi Wan didn't want to eavesdrop on these military secrets, and when she was about to leave, she heard a sentence and stopped suddenly.

"Today, some people came to complain that they couldn't eat enough, and said that if they continued like this, they would have to leave, and many people had left in the past few days, and several camps had already been empty."

"People want to leave, we can't help it, after all, we really can't afford to eat, what I'm worried about is that if it goes on like this, the situation will be even worse, you look at the weather here, you can't grow anything, I don't know how much money you have to spend to buy food, and the military salary will not be paid next month, alas."

Ji Wan covered her mouth in surprise, has it come to this point? Military food, military salary, for soldiers, these are the two most important things, what is the purpose of being a soldier, not just to be able to eat and clothe warm, and then subsidize the family by the way, and now, neither can be guaranteed, it is strange that people do not leave.

No wonder, the man just now said that he couldn't eat enough.

No wonder, Jiu Wang Ye and Xie Yutang are so busy every day, they are originally trying to find a way to solve the problem of military food and salary, but at this moment, how to solve it?

Just thinking about it, Ji Wan felt that she was in a difficult situation.

The two of them were still desperately hiding from themselves, knowing that they were well-intentioned and didn't want to worry about themselves, in fact, she really couldn't help much, and she was still a sick person. Thinking of this, Chi Wan suddenly became even more melancholy.

I went to look for the ferret for a while, but there was no trace of it, and Chi Wan was depressed, so she simply went back.

As soon as she entered the door with her front foot, Xie Yutang came back with her back foot. Seeing Chi Wan sitting on the bed depressed, she couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Chi Wan looked at Xie Yutang for a while, and after this look, she found that Xie Yutang looked haggard, there were still some unshaved beards on his chin, his eyes were bloodshot, and he probably didn't sleep well at night.

Her nose was sore, she almost burst into tears, and she hummed, "It's okay." ”

This look said that it was okay, Xie Yutang wouldn't believe it, he noticed that the ferret was gone, and turned around suspiciously, "What about the ferret, isn't it with you every day?" ”

When Chi Wan heard the ferret, she suddenly wanted to cry even more, and there was a hint of choking in her voice, "The ferret ran away, I don't know where it went." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, touched Chi Wan's hair soothingly, and said with relief, "Don't be sad, maybe it's just going out to let off steam, maybe it'll come back then." ”

Is it a wild thing, or does it like to go wild outside?

Chi Wan was also thinking about this, so she was not so sad, she nodded, raised her head and looked at Xie Yutang, "Have you been busy with military rations recently?" ”

Xie Yutang paused, stared at her and said, "Who told you?" ”

His first reaction was the Nine Princes, secretly saying that this person was really unreliable, but Chi Wan said, "It's not the Nine Princes, I heard it myself, I heard you discussing military rations in the camp tent." ”

Xie Yutang saw that she knew, so he no longer hid it, "Actually, this problem is not big, and when it comes to the beginning of spring next year, it can basically be solved, and then I will encourage everyone to farm and cultivate more, and the difficulty is only this year." ”

Chi Wan's frowning brows still did not relax, knowing that Xie Yutang was comforting her, but no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the weather here was not suitable for growing crops, and the yield was usually very low, which also led to the current situation of food shortage here. What about the beginning of spring next year, it will still not be able to meet the needs of the army.

"Okay, don't think about it, these questions are not for you to think about." Xie Yutang just couldn't see her frowning, his Wanwan should be happy and happy, instead of worrying about problems that don't belong to her.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and we have recently been contacting the surrounding states and counties, hoping to borrow some grain and grass."

In this way, it has not been solved yet. Chi Wan sighed helplessly, she wanted to help, but she had no clue at all, so many people ate and drank, but it was not something that could be sent away with a little thing.
