Chapter 697: Qiao'er's Question

After eating and tea, Song Yi watched Qiao'er clean up.

The charcoal fire in the brazier was almost silent, with the occasional faint popping sound coming out.

The originally very quiet greenhouse, but it is very clear.

"You ......"

"You ......"

Song Yihe and Nuhachi both spoke at the same time, and they stopped at the same time.

Song Yi thought that if it weren't for the man's arrangement, she wouldn't have used silver charcoal to heat up the greenhouse so extravagantly. In any case, the other person should be thanked.

But he did not know how to speak to him about the true king.

Winter is the least suitable season for war. In addition to the cold weather and the difficulty of marching, it is also because, in order to keep warm, the logistics support of the army burns more money.

On the day at the front, the silver in the treasury kept flowing to the front. After all, in extremely cold weather, soldiers can't be allowed to wear thin clothes and eat cold food.

Therefore, in general, before the onset of winter, those who can end the fighting will try to attack and end the war as soon as possible. If it really can't be solved for a while and a half, and it has been in a state of stalemate, it will also take advantage of the heavy snow to close the road, rest in place, survive the winter, and make plans for the next year.

Youzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because it is guarded by the Gao army, it has been the strongest defense line of the Qian's Dynasty over the years.

He Nuhachi has always wanted to capture Youzhou City, which is equivalent to tearing apart the defense line of the Qianchao. As long as Youzhou City is lost, the Jurchen army will be able to drive straight into the city and be unstoppable.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, Youzhou City has Gao Yunjin, a military wizard, as a marshal, and the Gao family army is strictly disciplined, and there are almost no shortcomings. Youzhou City is also known as the first pass in the northwest, the city wall is tall and straight, impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The emperor of the Qianzhou Dynasty also knew the importance of Youzhou City, and in addition to raising the strength of the whole country to protect Youzhou City, he also sent the real king Zhu Xi to personally supervise the army.

The prison army of the true king Zhu Xi brought a lot of trouble to the Jurchens. Therefore, he and Nuha Chi were bent on getting rid of it.

He knew that the people of the Qianchao also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he and Nuhachi pretended that the news was leaked, and used the Qianchao spy in Heishui City to transmit the news he wanted to convey to the Qianchao.

The real king Zhu Xi was really fooled and sneaked into Blackwater City to inquire about the military report.

and Nuhachi sent Sikong and Jeruho to Blackwater City to capture the true king. But unexpectedly, Huo Du was fascinated by the real princess who suddenly appeared.

He Nuhachi was afraid that Huo Du would delay his business, so he went to Blackwater City in person. Unexpectedly, he was also very interested in Song Yi.

Because Song Yi didn't know martial arts, he and Nuhachi relaxed their vigilance for a while, fell into Song Yi's poison, and were coerced hostage. Although he let go of the powerful enemy of the true king Zhu Xi, he and Nuhachi were not so disappointed.

Because, he still snatched Song Yi into his hands. If it was in the past, he would definitely tell the world, both in terms of prestige and self-confidence, to hit the real king Zhu Xi, so that everyone in the world would know that the princess of the real king Zhu Xi was snatched away by himself.

But he did not do so. He was like a thief, afraid that others would find out about it. secretly brought the seriously injured and dying Song Yi back to the palace and concealed his identity for him.

Such a move is very confusing. But he Nuhachi couldn't tell him why he attached so much importance to Song Yi at that time. valued that he could give up some of the principles he had always adhered to in the past for her sake.

Until, last time, when Mei Nu came to Yanlin Palace to trouble her. He was angry with the eunuchs of Tianyu Palace and wanted to put him to death. Song Yi interceded for the little eunuch, and even said the truth that "water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat", which shocked He Nuhachi, who has always been strict in politics.

Only then did I realize that Song Yi's reputation as a true princess was not in vain. And Nohachi felt that he had lived a treasure. I feel like I can't let go.

Song Yi didn't know what she said that day, which caused such a big obstacle for her to leave the Jurchen harem later. If she had the ability to foresee, she wouldn't have said those words to death.

However, the current Song Yi doesn't know this. Although she was there, her thoughts had already flown out.

Today's beef soup pot base is a simple version of hot pot. When the chili peppers are ripe, Song Yi can try authentic Sichuan cuisine.

"What are these, how come I haven't seen them before?" And Nohachi looked at the unfamiliar plant and asked.

Song Yi looked back at the plant in front of the man, and subconsciously said, "Chili, don't you know?" ”

"Chili?" The man was even more puzzled, because he had never heard the term at all.

"What for?" The man asked sincerely.

Song Yi then remembered that chili peppers had not yet become popular in this time and space. At that time, when she asked Qiao'er, Qiao'er also said that the palace used to plant chili peppers as ornamental flowers. Because there was no fragrance and the fruit was inedible, it was abandoned.

The people in the palace called it "tomato" just because the plant came from the ocean.

"You should call it a tomato here, I heard that it is a rarity from abroad. I just planted it there casually, but I didn't expect it to be fed" Song Yi didn't have a correct explanation, but casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

Qiao'er was on the sidelines, surprised. She didn't expect that Madame would dare to deceive Da Khan, but she still kept her mouth shut and did not expose Madame that she was lying.

After He Nuhachi came out of Yanlin Palace, he said to the people around him, "Go and investigate what that plant called chili pepper does."

He always felt that women would not do useless work. That pepper field is clearly carefully cared for. It can't be just sown by hand, as she says.

Chili pepper? The man stroked his chin and smiled playfully.

Song Yi, how many surprises do you have for me?

On the other side, inside Jiaofang Palace.

"Yanshi, the Great Khan has gone to Yanlin Palace," Sare's mother said to Wanyan Yan.

"Did you go by accident, or did you go on purpose?" Wan Yan asked.

"The minion looks, it should have gone by chance. Except for the last time, because Mrs. Li went to make trouble, and the Great Khan went once. The Great Khan hasn't been there for months."

————

"Really?" Wan Yan Yan sneered, he didn't believe that the man went by accident at all.

Yanlin Palace was the most remote palace in the harem, how could he pass by there by chance? It seems that the Great Khan still misses the woman in Yanlin Palace.

Wan Yan was silent.

That night, Song Yi looked at the chili peppers in the greenhouse, she thought that after being excited for so long, she would not be excited anymore.

However, I thought that in another ten days, the chili pepper would be ready to use. She became excited.

"Madam, you ..... to-day," Qiao'er said in a hurry.

"You mean to say, why didn't I tell you the truth about the peppers?" Song Yi knew what Qiao'er was struggling with, so she opened her mouth to express her doubts.
