Chapter 141: Asking for help
Princess Yu'an was like a lightning strike, and looked at Chu Yunning in a daze: "No, no, you must be talking nonsense, how could the imperial brother give up on me?" ”
Seeing that the other party was crazy and said some nonsense, and then slowly became calm, Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything strange about this?" ”
"Of course!" Princess Yu'an was emotional: "If it weren't for this princess's advice, what ability would he have to sit on the throne of the crown prince, if I hadn't framed the third emperor brother, he would have been killed a long time ago." ”
Listening to the other party's words of the prince of Yunlan Kingdom from time to time, Chu Yunning picked up a strand of long hair between his temples with his fingertips, and bent his lips: "Since you know too many secrets of the prince, it's normal that the prince can't tolerate you." ”
"He dares!" Princess Yu'an was worried that she would be given up, so she stiffened her neck and said, "Chu Yunning, let's make a deal." ”
Chu Yunning squinted at Princess Yu'an, sneered, with an expression that you have no use value at all, and the angry Princess Yu'an shouted: "If you want to attack Yunlan, you must rely on this princess, I can introduce you." ”
"Just you?" Chu Yunning didn't believe it.
Princess Yu'an said anxiously: "Anyway, you have to escort me back to Yunlan, it's better to try, and I won't suffer anyway." ”
Seeing this, the Lin family on the side also followed to help: "Ning girl, Princess Yu'an is the princess of Yunlan Kingdom after all, and she has some use value, isn't it a pity to die in vain, what if it is useful?" ”
"Yes, yes, this princess is valuable after all."
"The second aunt doesn't know that Princess Yu'an is cunning by nature and cannot be trusted." Chu Yunning said.
Remember the URL
When Lin heard this, he said: "This is also easy to do, if you find out that Princess Yu'an is lying, don't give it a second chance, just kill it directly." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Yunning's mouth twitched slightly, which was more direct than himself.
Princess Yu'an glared at Lin viciously, as if she was blaming her for being too talkative, but when it touched Chu Yunning's eyes, the insult on the side of her mouth was swallowed back.
"Besides, I don't expect to help anything." Chu Yunning behaved lightly, and let people tie up Princess Yu'an and throw it into the carriage mercilessly.
For this kind of person, the more Chu Yunning cares about it, the more arrogant and domineering she will be, if you don't take her seriously, she will not be able to guess your thoughts, she has no bottom in her heart, and she has been in a state of worry.
After a brief explanation to Lin, Lin raised three fingers and said, "Don't worry, I will never embarrass my sister-in-law again, and I will go to talk to you when I have time." ”
"There's Aunt Lao."
After getting back into the carriage, he chased the large army all the way, and it was almost late in the evening before he caught up, and he was very anxious all the way, except for supplying the horses with grain and grass on the way, and then preparing some water sources, almost day and night, and rushing forward with the stars and the moon.
"Are you still used to it?" Emperor Mingwen held a kettle in his hand, tilted his head and took a big sip, there was no tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes, all starlight and expectation.
She is not the original owner of Jiaodidi, and she also likes to travel, although she is not used to going to war this time.
"You can also see a lot of scenery along the way, which you can't see in the house, so you have a special taste."
Hearing this answer, Emperor Ming Wen was not surprised at all, the woman he fell in love with was different, her speech, vision and courage were all unique.
"You brought Princess Yu'an with you?"
Chu Yunning nodded: "Staying in the capital is a scourge, you can always rest assured to take it with you, maybe it will be useful." ”
Emperor Mingwen said: "It's still thoughtful that you are considerate." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed, and that night she slept in a simple tent, and she didn't sleep well, so she got up before dawn and continued on her way.
At this time, Gonggong Mo rushed over, pointed to the carriage on the side and said, "Chushang Palace, the emperor said that this carriage is for you, and you have to recuperate all the way, otherwise who will treat the three armies?" ”
Even after finding a reason, Chu Yunning had no chance to refuse, and thought that this road would indeed take two months, so he simply didn't refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The carriage was covered with two layers of thick bedding, and there were delicate snacks on the small table, as well as books that she had nothing to do.
The road was swaying, wind and rain, Chu Yunning began to prepare mosquito repellent sachets for the soldiers along the way.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and there were snowflakes floating outside, Chu Yunning was tightly wrapped in a big coat, and his head poked out of the window to look at the scene outside.
Seeing that the ground turned white, her mood also improved, but Bixiu muttered in a low voice on the side: "I heard that the more you go to the border, the colder the temperature becomes, and there is not even a vegetable leaf, and the people who are stationed at the border all year round are really pitiful." ”
The border pass is not as good as the capital, if it weren't for Bi Xiuti, she hadn't realized this problem yet, Chu Yunning touched her chin: "Garrisoning the border pass is already hard, how can you not eat well." ”
"Miss has a way?" Bixiu asked.
Since following Miss, Bixiu feels that her Miss is omnipotent and can do anything.
Chu Yunning rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't know what the planting technology of this era was, so he recruited the guards who accompanied the army and asked, "How long will it take to get to the place?" ”
"Lord Hui Chu, at this rate, it is estimated that it will be about five or six days."
Chu Yunning nodded clearly.
Sure enough, when I was having dinner, the food had dropped a lot compared to before, white bread, corn tortillas, chickens, ducks and geese were not lacking, and I didn't even see a vegetable leaf.
"What, not to taste?" Seeing her in a daze, Emperor Mingwen handed the chicken leg on the plate in front of him to Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning came back to his senses, looked at the chicken leg and shook his head: "I was thinking that it would be great if the soldiers at the border pass could also eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter." ”
"Hey, Lord Chu, don't say that you can't eat it at the border pass, even if there are few in the capital in winter, they are all preserved in the ice cellar in Zhuangzi, how can you eat fresh melons and fruits in winter." Grandpa Mo said with a smile.
Maybe it's because he is familiar, Chu Yunning didn't care about the other party's interference.
"What's impossible about this, this war is a protracted war, sooner or later the grain and grass will run out, if we have an advantage that other countries do not have, it will only be beneficial and harmless, and it will also allow the people at the border to not worry about food and clothing."
Emperor Mingwen heard the voice in his words: "Could it be that you want the people to grow vegetables and sell them?" ”
"Why not?" Chu Yunning asked rhetorically, relying on his own hands to cultivate the land diligently, the fruits obtained were sold, and a bumper harvest was created, shouldn't it be?
Emperor Mingwen sighed, this woman could see business opportunities wherever she went, so she asked again: "Listen to what you mean, do you already have a plan?" ”
"I want to try it." Chu Yunning looked at Emperor Mingwen with a pair of eager eyes, trying to persuade the other party, but Emperor Mingwen directly threw a quasi-word to her.
"The emperor doesn't want to listen to the opinions of his ministers?" She still has a bunch of things to say.
Emperor Mingwen shook his head: "If you want to do it, just let it go, if it doesn't work, I won't blame you, if it does, I will reward you heavily!" ”
Just do it, after the three armies arrived at the border city, the first thing Chu Yunning did when he arrived in the local area was to find a suitable place to plant.
The place should be big enough, and the soil should not be too bad, Chu Yunning searched for two days, and on the third day, under the leadership of the locals, he found a hillside, which was empty all around, and occasionally there were a few families.
Bent down and looked at the soil, not good or bad, it should be possible to plant two seasons of hybrid rice, Chu Yunning planned the drawings overnight, and asked people to collect seeds that could be planted everywhere, and prepared for three days.
On the fourth day, Chu Yunning led an army of 100 people and began to dig pits, cut down a lot of trees, and built greenhouses.
Looking at the first scale of the greenhouse, Chu Yunning asked people to water it overnight, soaked the soil, and applied fertilizer on both sides continuously, making sure that the soil was wet and soft before he could rest assured.
"Miss, what can be planted here?" Bixiu asked curiously with wide eyes, she could now imagine that the greenhouses were full of fresh vegetables.
Chu Yunning said without hesitation: "Jiang! ”
In the cold in winter, ginger soup is the easiest way to drive away the cold, usually it is okay to drink it when it is cold, and she tried ginger first in the first shed.
The seeds were sown, and the thick straw was held on the shed to ensure that the temperature in the shed was suitable, and the straw was opened during the day.
On this day, Emperor Mingwen also came over curiously to take a look, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw Chu Yunning dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with only two beaded hairpins between his sideburns, bending down to check the ground, and telling the people around him from time to time.
Bixiu glanced at Chu Yunning and pointed to the back, Chu Yunning followed the line of sight and found that Emperor Mingwen was coming, and got up to salute.
"No need to be polite, I haven't seen you for a few days, and there have been a lot of changes here." Emperor Mingwen found that there seemed to be nothing she wouldn't do, and this shed was quite like that.
Chu Yunning introduced with a smile: "This piece of land is planted with ginger, which can be used to ward off the cold, and many people are from the capital, so they may not be able to stand such bad weather." ”
"It's still thoughtful." Emperor Mingwen nodded.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along harmoniously, Gonggong Mo waved his hand and took away the others, leaving the space for the two, Chu Yunning asked about the situation at the border pass, and Emperor Mingwen did not hide it: "The situation is even worse than I imagined, Yunlan Country has already prepared for battle, and the other three countries are ready to move, and its Middle East Kingdom has already begun to train soldiers and horses." ”
"What is the emperor worried about?" Chu Yunning asked, the union of the four countries was the worst plan they had ever thought of.
The corners of Emperor Mingwen's mouth hooked up a smile: "I can't hide anything from you, I plan to send troops tomorrow night." ”
"The minister wishes the emperor a triumphant return as soon as possible." Chu Yunning looked at Emperor Mingwen's posture, he should have been confident, and he had already planned it.
"What else is there to say?"
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "The emperor will definitely return in person, and the minister will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you when the time comes." ”
"Good! Deal! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and before leaving, Chu Yunning handed Emperor Ming Wen a sachet with a peace charm in the sachet; "Although this battle is risky, I believe that the emperor will return safely."
Emperor Mingwen took the peace talisman, put it directly on the inside of his chest, and nodded.
That's five days
Chu Yunning was a little restless and walked back and forth in the greenhouse, and Bixiu approached her: "Miss, it seems that there are green buds." ”
"Really?" Chu Yunning came back to his senses, lowered his head and opened a piece of straw, and sure enough, he saw the tender green buds, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "This is a good thing, it means that we have succeeded, and we are ordered to continue to detain the greenhouse, the more the better." ”
She had to grow some fresh vegetables, some herbs that could be used, and wait for the spring of the next year, and raise some cattle and sheep to supply the soldiers with the freshest meat they could eat.
Seeing that it was getting dark again, Chu Yunning went to the camp: "Isn't there any news from the emperor?" ”
"No, the emperor led his troops to meet the soldiers of Yunlan Kingdom who came to attack in the canyon, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle, and the enemy army was defeated and retreated, but the emperor pursued the ...... with victory."
Halfway through the words, Chu Yunning's face was gloomy, and the most taboo thing in a war was to take advantage of the victory to pursue, especially for unfamiliar places.
"Don't worry about Chushang Palace, the emperor will definitely have his own measure." Mo Gonggong said comfortably.
Chu Yunning's eyelids jumped, staring at the moonlight, he actually had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment and was about to rush out.
Suddenly, the lights were bright outside, and a shout came: "The emperor is back!" ”
Listen to the cheers and know that this one has won.
Emperor Ming Wen returned on horseback, his military uniform was already stained, the tiredness that could not be concealed between his eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes stared at her.
"God forbid." Gonggong Mo clasped his hands together and muttered in his mouth: "The emperor has finally come back safe and sound." ”
Emperor Mingwen turned over and dismounted, walking a little anxiously all the way, a cold breath popped out of his mouth, and said with a smile as he walked: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, and I've attacked the enemy on both sides." ”
"Listening to the emperor, does it mean that you know the terrain very well?"
"On the first day I came to the border city, I visited the site and planned a topographic map, so I was able to find the place accurately."
Chu Yunning silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, it turned out that Emperor Mingwen was not a scheming person who relied on his mouth, and he also had some real skills, not like a pampered prince who had never suffered hardships, and he had been delayed by illness all these years.
"Congratulations to the Emperor."
Emperor Mingwen laughed and helped Chu Yunning up: "Thanks to your peace charm, I have been able to survive until now, guess who I caught?" ”
Seeing Emperor Mingwen's happy face, Chu Yunning had the courage to guess; "It shouldn't be the other party's general, how much did you gain this time?"
That group of people never imagined that Emperor Mingwen could sneak attack in such a short period of time, and he dared to ambush in the middle of the road, attacking from both sides, beating the opponent's army disheartened, throwing away their armor, and because they were in the mountain col, they didn't even have a place to hide, and there were countless casualties, and the weapons collected were loaded with ten carts before they were pulled back.
The victory in the first battle directly boosted the morale of the three armies, and they just wanted to fight directly into Yunlan with one blow.
Chu Yunning patiently listened to the other party's story, and did not forget to pour a cup of tea and handed it forward: "The emperor has just come back, you should have a good rest, and the minister will go to prepare a banquet for you to celebrate well." ”
