Chapter 209: Can It Really Be Successful?
At that moment, Yan Jinxi finally understood why he had failed to assassinate Jingyan several times in his previous life, this person was simply a first-class master.
Under Jing Yan's taming, the horse became docile, and Jing Yan said lightly: "I also want to ride with you, but with your physique, I'm afraid the horse won't be able to stand it." β
Yan Jinxi: "......"
How could he not forget to laugh at himself at any time, Yan Jinxi looked down at his body, obviously not fat.
Half an hour later, the two arrived in the village where the locust plague was most severe.
The villagers were sad at best, or they were crying with their heads hugged by their relatives and friends, and everyone knew what the locust plague would mean if it was not resolved.
Jing Yan looked at the rice fields crawling with locusts, which was simply shocking.
"How did you solve it yesterday?" Jing Yan asked.
"I just made a potion out of incense, and then asked the villagers to sprinkle the potion on the crops."
"The medical book does say that incense can cure locust plagues, but everyone ignores one point, incense must be mixed with aconite to have an effect, otherwise it will backfire."
Jing Yan's words solved Yan Jinxi's doubts and made her suddenly brightened.
At this moment, several men in black coarse cloth clothes came in front of them, still carrying hoes in their hands, and said viciously:
"It's her, it's this demon girl, after sprinkling her potion, the locust plague on the crops has doubled, let's kill this demon girl quickly and avenge the crops."
The leader's words brought the emotions of the people who came with him, and several people walked towards Yan Jinxi with hoes.
"What are you going to do?" Yan Jinxi saw the poisonous intent in the eyes of these people.
"We're going to kill you, a witch." As he spoke, he waved the hoe in his hand.
Several people rushed up with hoes.
Yan Jinxi was very helpless about the ignorance of this group of villagers, in order to defend herself, she and the villagers had a few tricks, and several young and strong villagers were not Yan Jinxi's opponents at all, and they were beaten to the ground one by one.
"Stop, I have a way." National Teacher Jing Yan shouted loudly, and his sharp tone quickly made the villagers put down their hoes and stop.
Several villagers looked at Jing Yan like gods, and these people knelt down one after another and begged him:
"Childe, it's just a living Bodhisattva, save the crops, otherwise the fruits of a year's labor will be wasted."
"Everyone, hurry up." After Jing Yan finished speaking, he walked over and leaned down to help the villagers up personally.
β¦β¦
After having a countermeasure, Yan Jinxi and Jing Yan picked incense and aconite on the spot, and prepared to make a potion here, and with the joint efforts of the two, they quickly made a small bottle of potion.
Yan Jinxi couldn't wait to sprinkle the potion on the crops, and in an instant, those locusts were dying one by one, and finally fell directly to the ground.
"National teacher, why didn't you help me when those villagers made a move on me just now?" Yan Jinxi asked.
"Why use a knife to kill a chicken."
Yan Jinxi: "......"
After Jing Yan finished speaking, he walked away. Due to the many affairs, Jing Yan went back to the capital first.
It turned out that he was really a person who cared about the people, and unlike Shen Luo, Yan Jinxi had a different opinion of him.
In the end, Liu County ordered the officers and soldiers to make a potion to control locusts according to Yan Jinxi's recipe, and then distributed the potion to various villages.
A day later, Yan Jinxi returned to the capital, and the locust plague in various villages in Xingping County had been resolved, and the crops in the fields had recovered their previous strength.
On this day, Yan Jinxi and her maid returned to the capital of Chu and entered the palace to report to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo didn't seem to care about this matter, but Yan Jinxi solved the thorny problem of the Xingping locust plague, and Shen Luo rewarded Yan Jinxi with a thousand taels of gold.
On this day, Yan Jinxi went to the Ministry of Industry to deal with affairs, but Female Officer Ning and others still did not treat her, and spoke coldly.
"Isn't it just that a blind cat meets a dead mouse?"
"Really, the Holy Lord actually rewarded this Yan Jinxi with a thousand gold, and didn't see if she was worth it?"
"It's just a lowly concubine."
β¦β¦
Yan Jinxi walked in front of them and said: "It's okay for you to slander me Yan Jinxi, but you dare to say that the emperor is not here, if I make it clear to the emperor, you will be imprisoned at least and your life will be at worst." β
She spoke very calmly and calmly, and the powerful aura exuded from her body made the others shudder.
Seeing Yan Jinxi's words, the officials of the Ministry of Industry did not continue to refute anything.
Yan Mansion, within Xilan Garden.
Since the first two days of going to Xingping to control the locust plague, Yan Jinxi has made up her mind in her heart, she wants to cultivate her own army. Now I have a thousand gold, which is just right to raise a loyal team in secret.
In his previous life, when his father was a great general, he had many loyal generals, and if they used them for themselves, it was naturally the best way.
A year ago, my father told me many times that he had a general named Zhang Qian, who had followed his father to fight for many years, and was loyal, and the most rare thing was that he was strong in martial arts and unparalleled in wisdom.
If he can develop a team for himself, then many problems can be solved.
"Xiaobai, do you know Zhang Qian?" Yan Jinxi flipped through the ancient book and asked casually.
"The slave maid knows that General Zhang was General Fu's subordinate back then, and he made countless meritorious achievements, but the Fu family angered the emperor and was wiped out, but Zhang Qian survived and has returned to the mountains and forests at this moment." Xiaobai talked about the affairs of the Fu family, and he seemed to know better than Yan Jinxi.
In this case, this Zhang Qian should be in his hometown in the countryside at the moment, this person has always been filial, and he often visited his old mother when his father was alive.
It seems that she can only try her luck in Zhang Qian's hometown, and she should plan how to persuade Zhang Qian to embark on the road of revenge tonight.
After going to the morning court in the early morning of the next day, Yan Jinxi returned home and changed into civilian clothes, and then went out of the city in a low-key manner to find Zhang Qian.
In her previous life, she vaguely heard her father say that Zhang Qian's hometown was in Zhangjia Village, thirty miles west of the capital of Chu State.
It was already autumn, not as hot as some time ago, and Yan Jinxi continued to walk west after leaving the city.
About two hours later, in a village, she saw a stone tablet with three words written on itβZhangjia Village.
Yan Jinxi walked slowly towards the village, and happened to meet a middle-aged woman carrying a hoe on the road, she leaned forward and asked:
"This eldest sister, where is Zhang Qian's house?"
"The Zhang family is in front." The woman was very friendly, and pointed her in the direction of Zhang's house as she spoke.
After Yan Jinxi thanked the woman, she continued to walk forward, gently buttoned the firewood door, and a pleasant old woman came out: "Girl, who are you looking for?" β
"Old mother, I'm looking for Zhang Qian, can you take me to see him?"
Seeing Yan Jinxi say this, the old woman invited Yan Jinxi in, and saw a man about thirty years old in the courtyard, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, tall and straight, with a handsome face.
Presumably this person is Zhang Qian, my father's most powerful general.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for him, such a man with a clean and clean style, but he chopped firewood and planted the land every day, and went up the mountain to farm.
"General Zhang." She screamed softly, and when she saw her father's subordinates again, she couldn't control the sparkle in her eyes.
The old man is still the old man of the year, and it has not changed at all.
But she can't tell anyone that she was Fu Yuyin in her previous life, but she can't gain the trust of others, but she may be regarded as a demon and a monster.
"Girl, are you?"
The alienation in Zhang Qian's eyes made Yan Jinxi's eyes cold.
"I ...... I'm ......" In fact, there was a moment when she wanted to tell him that she was Fu Yuyin, the daughter of General Fu, but she endured it, "I am the one who admires General Fu and Miss Fu." β
When she said this, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, and he invited Yan Jinxi to sit at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Over the years, I, Zhang Qian, have always wanted to repay someone, he is a noble man of the Fu family's army, when the emperor was furious and vowed to eradicate all the generals of General Fu, it was that person who pleaded in front of the emperor to be able to save us." Zhang Qian thought of the past and couldn't help but think about it.
What the? Fu Yuyin never knew that there was a noble person in the Fu family's army, who gave up his life to speak for the generals of the Fu family's army?
Could it be Prime Minister Yan? No, it is absolutely impossible, it is the Yan family who slandered Shen Luo and made Shen Luo destroy the Fu family.
Could it be that Shen Luo's conscience found out? She quickly dismissed the conjecture.
Could it be the military department Shangshu who has always been good friends with the Fu family? No, his words shouldn't carry that much weight.
β¦β¦
Yan Jinxi really couldn't guess this person, so he asked, "General, can you tell me who the noble person of the Fu family army is?" β
"No, I promised your nobles at that time not to leak this matter." Zhang Qian shook his head.
Since this is the case, Yan Jinxi didn't ask any more questions, just how she should make him believe in herself.
"How brilliant the Fu family was back then, General Fu made great achievements, and Miss Fu was the queen of the world." She said with a deep sadness in her eyes, "It's just that the emperor is cold, and he destroyed the Fu family regardless of the old love, shouldn't this revenge be avenged?" β
Yan Jinxi said very emotionally.
"The girl said very much, the general has the grace of knowing me, it is he who has allowed me to carry out my life's ambitions, if you want revenge, please add me one." Zhang Qian said very firmly.
"Okay." The two hit it off.
Yan Jinxi opened the baggage he was carrying and handed him a thousand gold.
"This thousand gold is used by you to secretly cultivate your own team, and when you have your own people, you will secretly spy on two people, one is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is Li Xing, the current generalissimo of the Chu State."
"Well, it's just that Emperor Shen Luo is so powerful, can we really succeed?"
"As long as you have the heart, you can succeed." Yan Jinxi said as firmly as ever, she told Zhang Qian before leaving, "I am Yan Jinxi, as long as there is something, you can come to the capital to find her." β
Yan Jinxi left Zhang's house and walked towards the capital, near the city gate, she saw a man and a woman standing in a pavilion, the woman's figure Yan Jinxi was very familiar, as for the man, she looked at it a few times, wasn't that ......
