Chapter 143: The prince brings back the girl from the battlefield
Neighboring countries have been in decline since the last empress in her old age, and if the new empress is an ambitious person with the world, he may be able to hold out for a few years.
It's a pity that the newly appointed empress's vision is not as big as her sister's, and she only stares at a little bit of small profits, and does not rectify the court, but collects military power.
Internal worries are uneasy, and they also cause external troubles.
As soon as Ye Jielu asked people to inquire a little, the news of the neighboring countries was quickly reported to the emperor, and the emperor laughed.
There is no need for them to make a big move, and their neighbors will die on their own.
The national veins are withering, and the qi is exhausted.
Ye Jielu simply didn't bother to take out the troops, and directly trained the troops on the spot, guarding the occupied cities on the border of neighboring countries.
The neighboring countries wanted to repel them several times, but Ye Jielu didn't take them seriously at all.
Ye Jielu's subordinates had strict military discipline, and they didn't stop the drills of their subordinates on heavy snowy days, so it was easy to beat those drunken wastes on the other side.
The two countries have not had time to talk, and the territorial area has changed.
Their emperor was quite satisfied with this, that is, the empress of the neighboring country should have jumped to her feet in anger.
After receiving the war report from the front, the empress of the neighboring country angrily smashed eight sets of tea sets, six antique vases, and executed twenty palace people who were waiting.
"Please let the Empress calm her anger! The generals of the enemy country are brave and good at fighting, but men will have weaknesses, as the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty level. β
The empress lowered her eyes and looked at the maid and staff kneeling at her feet, and had a faint guess in her heart, but still asked, "What is your plan?" β
The maid slowly raised her head, her bright and charming face and those unique aqua blue gentle eyes, which made people fall into it at a glance.
"The hero has been out on the expedition for a long time, and it is lonely if there is no intimate person around him, and the most important thing in our country is a beautiful woman, if the empress chooses the most special one and places it next to the enemy general, one can steal secrets, and the other can also take the opportunity to lead the way."
The Empress stretched out her hand and gently lifted her chin, "Beauty? There is no one more suitable than Arnold, who can sing and dance, and assassinate. β
"Are you willing to solve the enemy in front of you?"
Arnold's eyes flashed, and he kowtowed firmly, "Arnold is willing to share the queen's worries!" β
A violent snowstorm swept through the border and the border between the two countries.
In the three states and the three states in the middle of the border, there was still a snow disaster under the strict defense of the prefect of Ming Lanying and Ming Langtao, but fortunately it was not serious, and it was not to the point of refugees.
The lower three states, which are far from the center of the snowstorm, have not been greatly affected, but they are the first to appear as refugees.
When Ming Langtao heard that the refugees in the lower three states were the first to appear, he could kill a fly on his brow.
"Which kind of waste is the prefect of the lower three states, let the official see and understand."
Meng Huaisu took out the old records of the newspaper and the music that were beaten back in previous years.
"Every time there is a snow disaster, the refugees in the lower three states are the first to run out, because if there is a snow disaster, they can be exempted from forced labor for a period of time, and the prefect can also get a pension money."
Ming Langtao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "The lower three states are all exiled criminals, and the upper ones don't care about their lives or deaths, and it's also terrible that so many refugees can emerge every time there is a snow disaster." β
"Do you want to take care of these refugees?"
Ming Langtao pondered, "Go and ask Princess Yanbei what she means, after all, the three states are also part of the fiefdom of King Yanbei." β
Ming Lanying was calculating the loss of the pharmacy, planning to take advantage of the wind and snow to send a batch of medicinal herbs to the front line.
The steward of the king in the front yard came over to report with a sad face, "Princess Qi, a large number of refugees have appeared in the lower three states. β
"Refugees? Let the prefects of the lower three states relieve and rectify the refugees! Ask me why? β
Ming Lanying looked at Wang Changying inexplicably, Wang Changying said hesitantly: "The princess doesn't know, these three states are all exiled criminals, every time there is a snow disaster, they will be the first to rush out as refugees to avoid servitude, sometimes there will be chaos when it is big, the boss does not care much about their life and death, if the boss doesn't want to care, then the prefect will send someone to suppress it." β
As soon as this explanation was explained, Lan Ying remembered that her beginning in this world was in a small village in the lower three states, and it was also her birth and resurrection point.
"It's human life, no matter what, it's a usable labor force in the fiefdom, and it can bring use to the fiefdom, don't give up anyone casually until you have to, tell the prefect of the three prefectures, set up a temporary shelter, and fork it out if you deliberately make trouble."
Wang Changying bowed his head to convey his meaning.
The wind and snow stopped for a few days, and the state governments seized the time to strengthen the houses and check for hidden dangers.
Ming Lanying hurriedly asked Xiao San to send a letter to the front line, news is very important at any time, not to mention that in addition to Ye Juelu on the front line, there are also two uneasy people on the front line, Hebai and Shan Zhao.
Shopkeeper Li specially waited for the snow to stop, and then held the account book to find Ming Lanying to check the account before he was relieved.
The two restaurants are not so bad that Shopkeeper Li has lost his sense of proportion, and he is shocked by the excessive income, and he always suspects that he has made a mistake in bookkeeping.
Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, "Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, you have lost a lot of weight from the affairs of the big restaurant during this time, and you deserve this silver." β
There is no problem with the account of Ming Lanying's packing ticket, and the shopkeeper Li is relieved and returns to the restaurant.
Ming Lanying took the time to see Dong Xia, it was snowing outside the house, Dong Xia was not very well, so she was detained in the house and couldn't go out, but fortunately she was also quiet, otherwise people would go crazy.
As soon as Ming Lanying entered her room, she took off her fox fur and removed the hand stove, and there were no outsiders in the left and right rooms, even her coat was taken off, and she was surprised that the room was too warm.
"This is warmer than in my house, Meng Huaisu is really willing, how much charcoal and firewood was burned?"
The maid replied honestly, and Ming Lanying snorted twice, "This burns twice as much as the one in my house, no wonder, aren't you hot in winter and summer?" β
Dong Xia shook his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm afraid of the cold after I'm pregnant, I'll just wear two more pieces, but Huaisu stays in the house and sweats all over the body, isn't it a bit too wasteful?" Sister-in-law, why don't I extinguish the two charcoal pots..."
"Oops! No, you can stay in peace! Ming Lanying smiled and touched her slightly pregnant belly, "Now that the world is big, you are the biggest, where is it wasted!" It's good that you don't feel uncomfortable, it's not that you can't afford to burn, I'll ask someone to send some more carbon later, this winter is very cold, and no one can freeze you when it's hot. β
I'm used to being thrifty in winter and summer, and I'm always uneasy in my heart, so Ming Lanying coaxed her to say something, "I've been raising it at home for a while, and my complexion is much better, so it shouldn't be so uncomfortable now, right?" Is it still serious? β
Dongxia shook his head, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I can't do this and that I can't go every day, and I've been fattened." β
"It's good to be fat, the complexion is ruddy, white and fat, it proves that the body is a lot better, I asked people to collect the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, which is already on the way, and when it arrives, let Zhao Lao stew medicinal food for you to eat."
Dong Xia shook her hand in shock, "This is worth a thousand taels of gold!" Sister-in-law, you can just keep it yourself, my little problem is not enough! β
"A thousand taels of gold? Is it worth so much? That's even more for you. β
Ming Lanying patted her hand with a smile and said comfortingly: "Don't be so nervous, I collected it at a low price, it's not as expensive as you said, anyway, it's all used when I buy it, I can't use it if my body is good, I can't waste it, you just try it for me." β
"Sister-in-lawβ"
"Alright, alright! I heard that the blood ginseng smells a little fishy, and I'm afraid that you will think too much before telling you, you are refusing me and I won't tell you next time, and directly let Zhao Lao stew it for you to eat! β
Dong Xia helplessly lowered her head and rubbed her chest, "Sister-in-law, what should you do if you spoil me like this and spoil me?" β
Ming Lanying hugged her and patted her gently, "How can you be spoiled!" Our winter and summer are the best girls, sensible and smart, and will not be spoiled. β
"Is it okay for Hebai to fight with Brother Ye in front?"
Ming Lanying remembered the reply she received, and shared with her funny, "Okay, I didn't fight much, I almost suffocated them, and finally asked for the order to take the team out to fish for military merits and open a small stove." β
"Amazing! So when will they come back? It's almost the New Year. β
Ming Lanying scratched her head, "It should be soon, right?" Ye Jielu said that it will be over soon, and when they come back, your man will be busy again, and the recovered city still needs someone to take care of it, most of which is to pull your man over. β
Dong Xia covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's okay, he actually wants to do more things and earn more money." β
The wind and snow stopped for a while and blew again fiercely, and Ming Lanying cut off contact with the front line again, but when she thought that they would come back soon, she was not so worried.
I didn't know that there was a shocking event in the front-line army, and the prince actually picked up a woman from the battlefield and came back!
The two armies just took advantage of the wind and snow to fight, and the people led by Ye Jielu won the battle, and even found a lot of treasures from the mess discarded by the enemy.
When the warriors were happily returning to the camp, they saw a weak woman suddenly appear in front of their prince's horse.
The woman shouted loudly that she was a dancer who had been robbed, and was dragged to the front of the battle as a meat shield by the soldiers who were inferior to the beasts of the neighboring countries, and finally escaped when the two sides were fighting and the scene was chaotic.
The woman knelt in front of Ye Jielu's war horse and begged them to take her with her.
Those who are a little sensible know that the appearance of this woman will not be a coincidence, or even a trap, but when they see her for the first time, that bit of reason turns into nothingness, and only soft-heartedness remains.
Then Ye Jielu brought her back.
When Hebai and Shan Zhao heard the news, they rushed out of the camp, and in the wind and snow, Ye Jielu was indeed followed by a slender woman.
Although Hebai has never fought, he has been in the military camp for a long time, and he also knows some battlefield methods or strange encounters.
She didn't expect her brother to be tricked, and she was furious.
"Brother!!"
Ye Jielu raised his hand and slapped her after approaching, "It's not allowed to be close in the barracks." β
The surrounding guards retreated into the distance, and no one dared to peek at the next family affairs of the prince.
Hebai stubbornly covered his arms and glared at him angrily, "Who is the woman behind you!" β
The woman saluted the crane white tremblingly, "Slave Arnold......"
Hebai looked at her viciously, full of murderous aura, "Who asked you!" Shut up! β
Shan Zhao clasped his fists at Ye Jielu and saluted, looking at the bright and charming woman vigilantly.
He had seen a lot of beauties at the border before, and it was undeniable that the woman in front of him was indeed very beautiful, but it was not so bad that he was lost, and it would not make Ye Jielu fascinated by it.
"Lord Wang, this is picked up? What is it for? β
Ye Jielu snorted for a moment, "It's a dancing girl, hurry up and send it to the princess." β
Hebai and Shan Zhao were stunned, "Huh? β
Arnold, who was following behind Ye Juelu, was also stunned, who did he send her to?
Hebai pointed at Ye Jielu in disbelief, "Are you going to send this dancing girl to your sister-in-law to disgust her!?" Elder brother! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Sister-in-law is such a good person, if you say you don't love it, you won't love it! And send people to disgusting people! You superficial and affectionate stinky man! I'm not going to live with you, I'm going to take my sister-in-law away! β
Ye Juelu's temples jumped suddenly, and he held back her anger and held down her action to escape with one hand.
"Who told you? Before the matter is clearly understood, I made a conclusion and went back to do a handstand for three hours! Your sister-in-law is still your sister-in-law, don't give me nonsense! β
Shan Zhao glanced at the restrained Arnold, "Then what did the prince mean by sending her to the princess?" β
As soon as Ye Jielu raised his hand, a guard stepped forward to take Arnold down to rest.
After waiting for the people to leave, Ye Jielu said: "The careful work of the neighboring country, if you stay in the barracks, there will be chaos, and send it to your sister-in-law to relieve her boredom." β
"I'm sorry brother, I blamed you, I thought you accepted her superficially because of her face." Hebai scratched his head, "Is it really a fine work for you to return to your sister-in-law?" My sister-in-law is powerless! β
Ye Jielu glanced at her and asked Shan Zhao, "How did you feel when you saw her for the first time just now?" β
Shan Zhao thought for a while, "My heart is beating faster, I want to get close to her." β
"Wow!" Hebai stayed away from him in disgust.
Shan Zhao pulled her and put his shoulders on his back, "But I quickly came back to my senses, because she is not the type I like!" My heart was racing because I saw her eyes, and they were as blue as water, and they were weird! β
Ye Jielu nodded, "There are mostly bachelors in the barracks, and ordinary women don't have anything, but they were stunned at the first sight when they saw her, this person can't stay in the barracks, but the detailed work sent by the neighboring country will be wasted without investigating and using it." β
Hebai raised his hand and scolded Shan Zhao, "Brother, aren't you afraid of what she will do to her sister-in-law?" β
Ye Jielu hooked his lips and smiled lightly, "Your sister-in-law is protected by five secret guards, not to mention that she has the intuition of a beast." β
Crane Bai's little head melon seed rarely operated, "What if she wants to follow you?" You just sent her to your sister-in-law? β
Ye Jielu put the long knife on his waist with one hand, "People are in our territory, so naturally we have the final say." β
Even if she approaches with a purpose, it's none of his business, it's his business not to let her get close, he is a person with a lady, and not a cat or a dog can stay around.
Hebai silently gave a thumbs up, "Okay, you're amazing, you have the final say." β
Arnold was taken by the guards to Ye Jielu's tent to rest, and before he could move, he was knocked unconscious and tied up.
When I opened my eyes again, I changed places, looking at the majestic gate of Yanbei Palace, the Arnold people were stupid.
Then she heard the guards escorting her stride in with one hand in hand, and shouted at the top of her voice when she entered the main hall of the front yard.
"Princess! The prince brought back a beautiful girl from the battlefield! β
Ming Lanying, who heard the sound, paused, raised her eyebrows, and the faces of Mama Cai and the two stewards behind her were pale.
