"When he was besieged by the Xirong cavalry that day, the prince's right arm was stabbed, and he finally recovered. Last night, he angered the Xirong King, and the old wounds recurred, and there were many new wounds on his face." Ruan Mingzhu replied, "The general was also injured, but he has recovered enough after so many days. Aunt Wanwan doesn't need to worry."
Zhao Sanniu added: "The prince has a noble status, the master is like a god in his military skills, and the Xirong Kingdom is afraid of the two of them, so it has always sent people to monitor them closely."
Cheng Wanwan was once again glad that she was a woman, and she was a woman who seemed powerless, so the King of Xirong did not bother to send troops to guard her.
But even so, it is not easy to escape from the deep palace.
"The news of our disappearance will not be reported to the court until at least a month later, and the court doesn't know who actually kidnapped us. It will take at least a month or two to find out, and then send troops to rescue. I'm afraid it will take years. Later..." Cheng Wanwan said, "So, we have to escape alone and go back to report the news for rescue."
It's unrealistic for so many people to escape. She doesn't have such great ability.
What she could do was to find a way to arrange for someone to escape from Xirong Palace and go to the nearest Northern Xinjiang garrison to report for help.
Only the state comes to the rescue to ensure that so many people are safe and sound.
Zhao Sanniu immediately said: "Mom, I will escort you out."
Ruan Mingzhu nodded: "Adding me will ensure that Aunt Wanwan escapes from this poor place smoothly."
"You two think about it carefully. If I disappear, what will happen to the others?" Cheng Wanwan raised her hand and knocked the two of them on the head. "Originally, I planned to let He Xiao find a way to get out, but I'm afraid there will be some inconvenience on his side, so I'll leave this arduous and important task to you two. Sanniu is too reckless, Mingzhu is more careful, and if you two cooperate, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Zhao Sanniu grabbed Cheng Wanwan's arm: "I won't leave, I want to stay to protect my mother."
"Silly boy, you ran away just to bring in the rescue troops to rescue your mother." Cheng Wanwan patted the back of his hand helplessly, "Is it possible that you asked Mingzhu, a girl, to go to Northern Xinjiang alone to seek help? She is not as healthy as you. , just in case..."
"I'm in good health." Ruan Mingzhu patted her chest, "I'm much better than Zhao Jingyu. Aunt Wanwan, believe me, I will definitely get things done..."
It wasn't that Cheng Wanwan didn't believe her, but that for such a dangerous matter, at least two people had to work together to more or less take care of her.
No matter San Niu or Mingzhu, they are all children, and she doesn't want anything to happen to anyone.
After her good talk, Zhao Sanniu finally nodded.
Early the next morning, the four guards who were responsible for guarding the small courtyard woke up. They saw the empty wine jars on the ground and suddenly woke up. If the Prime Minister had come last night and saw them drunk, he would definitely They beat twenty big boards hard, but fortunately the Prime Minister didn't come over, and their dereliction of duty was not discovered...
The four guards looked at each other and quickly destroyed the evidence.
Cheng Wanwan still took the people around him to work in the experimental field.
Ten acres of land need to be plowed deeply and then fertilized with plant ash, manure and other materials. At the same time, the entire experimental field must be surrounded by walls, and countless stoves must be built within the walls. The stoves must burn charcoal continuously for twelve hours to ensure the temperature of the experimental field. , not only that, but also to ensure the moisture of the soil, etc...
When the people of the Dayu Kingdom were working, officials from the Xirong Kingdom accompanied them throughout the process and recorded every detail. Every detail would be written on paper and copied by a special person, which is enough to show how much the Xirong Kingdom valued this matter.
King Qin was carried out and basked in the sun on the edge of the experimental field.
His face was bruised and purple, his eye sockets were still swollen, but his mouth was not swollen. He lay on the chair and said angrily: "Mrs. Sui, do you know what you are doing? Helping Xirong grow food is tantamount to betraying our country, Dayu." , you still have three sons in Dayu Country, do you think Brother Huang will let your three sons go?"
Cheng Wanwan lowered his head and twirled the soil, without raising his head, and said: "You have to lower your head when you are under the eaves. Your Majesty, you should calm down your temper."
"I really misjudged you." King Qin shouted angrily, "I declare that you are no longer Mrs. Dayu Guosui, you are a piece of shit! Someone, carry me in!"
The two guards immediately put down their work and came over to carry King Qin into the inner chamber.
The conversation between the two was passed verbatim to the ears of the Prime Minister by the person responsible for surveillance and tracking, who then reported it to the King of Xirong.
"The King of Qin is too naive to expect women to be loyal to the country." King Xirong sneered, "Look at the noble Princess Taiping of Dayu. When Xirong attacked Dayu, she dared to say a word for Dayu. ?”
The Prime Minister smiled and said: "Since she was exempted from the honorific title of Mrs. Sui by King Qin, why not give her an official position according to Xirong etiquette?"
"Why are you so anxious?" King Xirong smiled, "When the two of them are incompatible with each other, you can come forward to grant an official position, and then this woman will be completely devoted to our country of Xirong. In addition, this woman has three sons in the Dayu Kingdom. Think of a way to capture her three sons and give them official positions... For a woman, only her children are the most important, and all her lifeblood must be firmly grasped in the palm of her hand."
"It's still Wang Gaoming." The Prime Minister stroked his beard, "I will send a letter to the secret sentry in Dayu Kingdom and ask them to find an opportunity to take action."
King Xirong waved his hand and the Prime Minister retreated.
For four or five days in a row, Cheng Wanwan and the people around him were working in the experimental fields. Except for King Qin's occasional curse words, everything was no different from usual.
After a day's work, Cheng Wanwan asked to see the Prime Minister.
This was the first time in so many days that she asked to meet. The Prime Minister rushed over immediately: "Mrs. Sui, is there something important?"
Cheng Wanwan made a common salute and said, "I wonder if there is a plant like Orchid Yingyun in Xirong?"
She took out a picture scroll with a short plant on it.
The Prime Minister scratched his chin. He was a civil servant who only read the books of sages. How could he understand these farmland matters.
"The land in Xirong Kingdom is still too barren. Even if I try to fertilize it, it still cannot reach one-third of the fertility of the land in Dayu Kingdom." Cheng Wanwan sighed, "This kind of orchid Yingyun has huge roots and can improve the soil. To increase the grain yield per acre, it would be great if we could find some."
The Prime Minister immediately called over the officials who knew this. The officials all shook their heads: "This is a plant from Dayu Kingdom, and it does not exist in Xirong."
"I remember that when Princess Taiping came to Xirong to marry, she brought a lot of seeds." Cheng Wanwan's eyes lit up, "The princess doesn't understand these things. It's normal that she can't plant them, but I understand. I can make them grow." Lan Yingyun grew up on the land of Xirong... Prime Minister, could you please arrange for me to meet Princess Taiping, that is, the queen, is it possible?"
The Prime Minister nodded: "Of course there is no problem with such a small matter, but I need to report it to the king."
Cheng Wanwan said thoughtfully: "This is natural."
The Prime Minister was very efficient in doing things. In the afternoon of the next day, he arranged for his nanny to take her to the queen's palace.
The queen's palace is located in the middle. It is magnificent and luxurious, with countless people coming and going. If Cheng Wanwan had not known about Princess Taiping's situation, Cheng Wanwan would have thought that the princess was very favored here...
She followed her mother into the palace and waited for the summons at the steps of the main hall.
