The two thought about it distressedly for a long time, and finally made a decision. Since this is not possible, that is not the case. The only thing they can do is to use military merit to win over the emperor.
As long as they can make great contributions, the emperor will not care about trivial matters, so this time they not only have to find out all the scoundrels, but also repel those thieves from Yunlu Kingdom who want to seize other people's territory from hundreds of miles away, so that they don't dare to stroke the tiger's beard easily again.
Jiang Chengyu couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at Chu Jingnan's serious look of planning for Wang Xilu. No wonder the green girl always pretended not to care on the surface, but she couldn't let go of this man in her heart. Once this man got serious, he did have the charm to make women dream of him!
Thinking of this, his heart ached slightly as if someone was tugging at him.
He thought that he could finally wait for an opportunity, and when Xi Lu gave up on Chu Jingnan, he could take care of their mother and son in a fair and just manner...
He didn't know since when, he no longer only regarded Xi Lu as his sister. He had secretly hoped that when Bao'er was older, he would ask her to get married. But now it seems that she and Chu Jingnan are still in love with each other, and there is no chance for anyone to sneak in.
Come on, whatever doesn't belong to you doesn't belong to you after all. If Xi Lu can live a less depressed life, he will be happy after all, so... so be it!
He will wholeheartedly help Chu Jingnan make immortal contributions and ensure Wang Xilu's wealth and happiness for the rest of his life, so that he can safely hide this secret and practice medicine alone in the world.
Chapter 9(1)
A long convoy and carriages came one after another in the direction of the military camp. Three hundred thousand shi of food and grass actually arrived as expected.
Zhao Xiuyuan was even more irritable and restless. He originally thought that if he could get 300,000 stones of food and grass in just three days, how much money and face would it cost!
That Yin family is just a woman, how can she have such great ability, and I don't know what happened these days. He no longer receives news from the capital, whether it is from the court or from secret posts, which makes him feel like he is seeing flowers in the fog and is unclear about the current situation.
He knew that what he had done in the past few days had already made General Chu suspicious. If he allowed the whole Chu family, the oldest and the youngest, to return to the capital, he would be in danger of losing his life. Even the third prince would not be able to save him.
What's more, he had already sworn to the spies of the Yunlu Kingdom that there was not much food and grass left at the border, and now there was an inexplicable extra three hundred thousand dan, but Old Man Chu was paying close attention to it. Not to mention the secret message, he was afraid that even a pigeon would not be able to fly out, and there would be no way to report the message.
"Lieutenant General Zhao, my little lady is lucky to have lived up to her command. These three hundred thousand stones of food and grass are returned to their original places. I would like to ask you, Lieutenant General, to take some of them."
Seeing that all the soldiers looked relieved, Wang Xilu looked gratefully at Jiang Chengyu, who was bringing food and grass, and the three brothers Jiang Chengke and Jiang Chengyun who came specially to help.
"It's better to have some money. Don't be short of time, less money, or get burned, and then accuse others of being spies sent by other countries."
These words, carrying a gun and a stick, also pointed at Sang and Huai, made Zhao Xiuyuan immediately darken his face. He actually took a few steps forward, waved to his cronies, and asked them to carefully inspect the grain and grass on the first few carriages.
I thought that even if I didn't fish in troubled waters, I would just pass it off as inferior goods, but I didn't expect that several trucks were full of good food. Zhao Xiuyuan had to accept these military rations even though he secretly hated them.
If the Chu family is really allowed to lead the army to win this battle, and the Chu family has always supported the eldest son of the emperor, then the situation will definitely be very unfavorable to the third prince. In this case, even if he has to take some risks, he will still have to do something with the food and grass, and the Chu family must not be allowed to win this battle.
"That's it!"
"Since the robbery of grain and grass was just the general's plan to delay the attack, the general was naturally freed from the suspicion of being a spy. It is the general's shallowness that caused such a misunderstanding. Now that General Chu is back in command, my wife can stay in the camp with peace of mind and wait for the general's return."
Wang Xilu was amazed when he saw the speed at which Zhao Xiuyuan changed his face, but looking at the anger and hatred faintly flashing in his eyes, he was afraid that he had something up his sleeve.
"General Zhao..." She was just thinking to see if she could find out anything, when she saw Jiang Chengyu blinking at her. Although she always felt that something was wrong, she was still smart enough not to think about it anymore. Instead, she said: "Third cousin, come with me. I still have some things at home that I want to ask you."
Jiang Chengyu nodded in greeting, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Zhao Xiuyuan.
Wang Xilu's expression suddenly changed, and he asked Zhao Xiuyuan with some displeasure, "What do you mean?!"
"Why are you asking me this, madam? Didn't the old general give an order to strictly prohibit idlers from entering or leaving military aircraft areas?"
He had been kept in the military camp for the past few days and could not go out for a while. He had already suppressed his anger. Now that he saw the food and grass being delivered, he was already anxious and worried about ruining the good things of the third prince and his own future and wealth.
He stared at Wang Xilu and couldn't help but blame all his faults on her.If it hadn't been for her, he would have been the absolute leader in this camp, and it wouldn't be as difficult to communicate with people in the capital or Yunlu.
"Little sister, since Vice General Zhao doesn't allow it, it doesn't matter. It will be the same if we talk about it after everything is settled."
Wang Xilu looked suspiciously at Jiang Chengyu, who was rarely so talkative, and kept wondering what the hell this guy was planning.
"Don't think so much. Now that we have all the food and grass, it will be the decisive battle between the two armies in the near future. You should go back and rest quickly, so as not to ruin the body that I have worked hard to maintain for you."
Hearing what Jiang Chengyu said, Wang Xilu became even more suspicious, wanting to know what Jiang Chengyu was doing behind her back.
After all, Jiang Chengyu had never been interested in things like marching and fighting, but now there was a bright eagerness to try in his eyes, which really made her confused.
But Jiang Chengyu didn't give him a chance to ask again. He turned his heels neatly and left without saying another word.
Jiang Chengyu left, and Wang Xilu naturally had no intention of staying any longer. When he was about to greet Ziyun and Banping to go back, he saw Zhao Xiuyuan standing not far away and staring at her. The chill radiating from his body made her shiver.
"Miss, that guy must have some bad ideas." Banping said angrily.
Wang Xilu actually thought so too, but what could she do?
Sometimes in the dead of night, she couldn't help but think that if Chu Jingnan didn't come back soon, she and her grandfather might not be able to survive for long.
After all, the title of the old general can be used to frighten him for a while, but the old general only has an empty title after all, and under Zhao Xiuyuan's deliberate leadership, some rumors have gradually spread in the military camp in the past two days, and most of them are unfavorable to the old general Chu.
It is said that his hegemony is to annihilate the evidence of his grandson's crime. Others say that he has been bribed by Yun Lu for a long time, and he is just waiting to take his family out of the capital before joining Yun Lu.
She dared to pat her chest and guarantee that these words definitely came from Zhao Xiuyuan's mouth. Unfortunately, she was having difficulty in the military camp. Although she was protected by her grandfather, whenever she approached the soldiers, someone would come out to stop her.
Thinking of this, Wang Xilu couldn't help but picture Chu Jingnan's face in her mind. When she thought of him, her eyes began to heat up. If she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she might have lost her composure.
When...will he come back?
These days have passed. If he is really safe and sound, why is there no news at all?
Worry and longing kept Wang Xilu from sleeping well in the past few days, and her body was a little weak. With the support of the half-screen, she returned to the tent, and Chu Jingnan's breath seemed to still linger.
At this moment, she finally no longer had to maintain her calm and self-possessed look. She fell down on the chair and almost lost all strength. She could no longer say a word calmly and just cried silently.
Seeing her like this half the screen, I couldn't help but feel sad."Miss...Miss...it's okay if you cry."
How could she not know the suffering of her master, who has always been by his side to serve him? In the past, he could not get what he asked for, but now they finally agree, but life and death are uncertain.
