"I won't say any more, but you should understand that even if you starve to death, you won't be able to save those people in the palace. Let's take a good rest first and think of a solution tomorrow. I haven't slept well for many days. Come on!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he put the chopsticks in Zhu Yuejun's hands.
Zhu Yuejun sighed, then picked up the rice porridge and drank it in small sips! Zhao Xuanyi kept picking up food for Zhu Yuejun on the side!
"I have something to ask you!"
"speak!"
"Now that the capital is in such danger, why haven't the three vassal kings come to reinforce them yet? Didn't they receive the news?" After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun sneered.
"The imperial court has explicitly prohibited the feudal lords from raising private soldiers. It must be that they do not want to expose the number of their own soldiers and horses, so they do not send troops to assist. Once their trump cards are revealed, they will be targeted by the royal family. Not only will they have no merit, but they will be guilty. !”
"Understood, that means we can't ask for help from the vassal king now!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed.
"What can you do?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Not yet! But don't worry, I don't think Zhu Moxian will let me idle!" Zhu Yuejun looked worried after hearing what Zhao Xuanyi said.
"What will he do?"
"I don't know yet, but I am a big threat to him here in the capital! So I have to prepare. Before he thinks of ways to drive me away, I need to stay here so that I can do the next thing!" Zhao Xuanyi After saying that, he picked up the chicken legs and placed them in front of Zhu Yuejun!
Zhu Yuejun took a bite and looked at Zhao Xuanyi with pleading eyes.
"This time it's all up to you!"
"Don't worry, I won't put you in danger!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he kissed Zhu Yuejun on the lips!
Zhu Yuejun nodded, and then ate quickly. After he was full, Zhao Xuanyi asked someone to remove the tableware.
"This was originally my big tent. The sheets and quilts have been replaced with new ones. You should go to bed early. No one will come to disturb you!" Zhu Yuejun took Zhao Xuanyi's arm and slowly raised his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
"Stay with me!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"I think so too! But tens of thousands of pairs of eyes outside are watching. Aren't you afraid that after this night, the emperor will know about me and you?" After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun slowly lowered his head. Although the two of them are now The relationship seems to have become an open secret, but they have to avoid suspicion, otherwise the royal family will lose all face!
Zhao Xuanyi gently combed Zhu Yuejun's hair
"I'll come see you again during the day!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yuejun nodded and said. Zhao Xuanyi finally left the tent with peace of mind. After walking out, he looked at the surrounding defenders.
"Everyone disperse. From now on, no guards are allowed within thirty steps of the eldest princess's tent!"
"Yes!" All the Qilin Guards immediately left the tent thirty steps away and guarded the outside! Shen Wei saw Zhao Xuanyi coming out and walked over again
"Young Master, do we have anything else to prepare now?" Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"There is nothing to prepare for the moment. Our family's silver coins cannot be discovered in the capital, right? If I had known it, I would have left it in my hometown. Who would have thought that the capital would also be captured?"
"There shouldn't be a problem. I've already asked Sun Yan. He said that twenty Qilin guards were left to guard the house. Moreover, this group of enemy troops are quite well-educated. They did not kill the people or burn, kill, and loot. They should not be found. Yes!" Shen Wei comforted softly!
"I hope! That's all our family wealth! Also, spies will immediately spread out outside our military camp. If any enemy driver is found to be watching or probing, he will be killed directly, no matter who he is!"
"Yes! I will make arrangements right away. You should rest early!" Shen Wei said.
"Well! Let me rest after you make arrangements. I've been very busy these two days!"
"Understood!" Shen Wei said and left! Zhao Xuanyi returned to the city wall. Seeing that the lights were on in the two rooms on the left and right, Zhao Xuanyi walked directly into Du Xinyu's room without hesitation!
Du Xinyu was sulking in the room. When he saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, his eyes showed a bright light.
"Hmph! Did you know you were coming?"
"You're not welcome? Then I'll go to Sister Tang's room!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he turned around and left!
"How dare you!" Du Xinyu ran over, hugged Zhao Xuanyi, got into Zhao Xuanyi's arms, pouted and said nothing!
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, lowered his head and kissed Du Xinyu on the lips.
"Okay, I'm tired today. Let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy!"
"Okay!" Du Xinyu accompanied Zhao Xuanyi to the big bed. After blowing out the lights, the two of them lay on the bed and rested. The night was very peaceful. There was no wind and rain in the past, and there was no carnival after the disaster. It was just like usual. Rest and sleep peacefully!
This battle was very hard for the Qilin Guards. Everyone didn't wake up until noon the next day. Zhao Xuanyi didn't wake up at first, but was woken up by Du Xinyu in his arms!
Opening her eyes, she watched Du Xinyu push Zhao Xuanyi's cheek with her tiny fingers, looking like a hamster with big eyes feeding.
"What are you doing? Not sleeping?"
"I'm hungry!" Du Xinyu touched her belly and said with an aggrieved look.
"Didn't you have dinner last night?"
"..." Du Xinyu widened her eyes, which were already larger than the average person's, with an expression that seemed to be asking, are you serious?
Zhao Xuanyi stood up with a smile
"Get changed and let's go eat!"
"Okay!" Du Xinyu stood up hurriedly, and then began to dress Zhao Xuanyi. After the two of them walked out of the room, they saw that the entire military camp was very quiet. There was no training today, and everyone was rare to relax.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the room next door and didn't know if Tang Rou was awake or not. It was better not to disturb her and led Du Xinyu down the city wall!
Du Xinyu is not unfamiliar here! When Zhao Xuanyi was imprisoned in the military camp, she had to deal with these soldiers a lot!
Shen Wei saw Zhao Xuanyi getting off the city wall and hurriedly came over
"General, third lady!"
"How is everyone's rest?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"It's okay! But all the soldiers are a little worried!"
"Worried? What are you worried about?"
"Of course it's the imperial court!" Shen Wei whispered and looked at Zhu Yuejun's tent.
"Early this morning, all the brothers started discussing who will be the crown prince in the future Ming Dynasty? Will it have any actual impact on us?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled.
"Are they worried about whether anyone will give them a salary?"
"Almost! We have always been supported by the eldest princess. Now even the eldest princess has gone with the crowd. No wonder they think so!" Zhao Xuanyi sneered.
"Immediately spread the word. They don't need to discuss such important national affairs. Let them rest assured about the salary and salary. Nothing will happen. Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the future will lead the military stick by himself. If the eldest princess hears it, he will be chopped down directly." !”
"yes!"
"Are you seated for breakfast?"
"Already prepared!"
"Send it to Sister Tang. I'll drink Xinyu and go to the big tent to have someone deliver it!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said. Zhao Xuanyi brought Du Xinyu to the big tent. Du Xinyu found a chair and sat down. Zhao Xuanyi sat in front of the desk. There was a map of the whole country on the desk. Zhao Xuanyi sat on the chair, looking at the map with his eyes, constantly calculating in his mind. !
There was not much time, and the food was delivered, including steamed buns, rice porridge, pickled vegetable soup, and stir-fried horse meat with chili!
Du Xinyu's appetite increased after seeing it. She hurriedly came over, picked up the horse meat with her chopsticks and started eating it.
"Your food is so good. You have meat to eat every day!" Zhao Xuanyi also came over.
"What kind of food is good? This is more than 800 horses that were exhausted when I returned to Beijing. Each of the soldiers below got a little, and the rest was kept for me. What you are eating is not meat, but Money!" Du Xinyu was suddenly stunned when he heard that Zhao Xuanyi told him that it was horse meat.
"By the way, where are Aoxue and Hanshuang? Are they okay?"
"Don't worry, someone has already brought their family of three to the military camp. After dinner, you can go and see them!"
"That's great. Fortunately, the bad guys didn't snatch it away!" Du Xinyu said and gave Zhao Xuanyi a sweet kiss.
"You still like me!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled. With such a heartless girl beside him, he would really be cured. At least he wouldn't be so depressed. The two of them sat together and ate happily!
The two were eating when a person suddenly walked in from outside. Zhao Xuanyi looked up and saw that it was Zhu Yuejun. Du Xinyu was so frightened that he stood up in a hurry and then knelt down.
"See you, Princess!" Zhu Yuejun looked at Du Xinyu and sighed.
"From now on, if you are not in the palace, don't pay any heavy courtesy. Everything is exempt!"
"Yes!" Du Xinyu stood up quickly! Du Xinyu looked at Du Xinyu
"Xinyu, take some meat and go out to eat. The eldest princess and I have something to talk about!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi was not polite. He put all the meat on the plate into his own bowl, then took two sesame seed cakes and left. When Zhao Xuanyi saw it, the corner of his mouth kept twitching, and he thought to himself, you are really rude!
"Have you had breakfast?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"You've eaten. You should eat quickly. Don't worry about me! I'm just upset, so I came to talk to you!" Zhu Yuejun said with a disappointed look on his face.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, pulled Zhu Yuejun to sit next to him, and pointed to the map on the table.
"See for yourself!" Zhu Yuejun lowered his head and looked at the map of Ming Dynasty. It was better not to look at it, but this look made him even more upset.
"See what it does?"
"Although you don't want to see it, you still have to see it, otherwise how can we turn defeat into victory?" Zhao Xuanyi pointed to the north and east.
"Although the person who inquired about the information has not returned yet, it is not difficult to guess that there is no hope for the border and the Far East!" Zhao Xuanyi took two sesame seed cakes and placed them in the two places respectively.
"Zhu Moxian must have let his allies contain the forces on both sides! And according to your words, the three vassal kings will definitely not come to help. In other words, these three losers are also the masters of watching the fire from the other side!"
"But now the civil and military officials in the DPRK and the garrison troops from various provinces have very simple ideas. They are all watching the show. Even if you issue an edict now, they will find various reasons to refuse and will not send troops easily!" Zhu Yuejun nodded.
"They are waiting!"
"That's right! They are waiting to see who will be the crown prince in the end, and they will talk about how to be loyal, or where to stand!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuejun
"And I have a hunch that Zhu Moxian is not just stalling for time now, he is also waiting!"
"What is he waiting for?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"I'm also investigating!" Zhu Yuejun thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of a possibility
"By the way, I received a secret report from the Moon Guard half a month ago, saying that someone had discovered unusual movements in Shanxi and Shaanxi! But then there was no news!" Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and looked at the map.
"Shaanxi and Shanxi?" Zhao Xuanyi took out two more sesame seed cakes and placed them on the two maps.
"What will happen here? There are neither a large number of defenders nor any valuable objects. Why would Zhu Moxian station troops in these two places?" Zhu Yuejun looked at the map and then at Zhao Xuanyi's map. Two sesame seed cakes, eyes widened immediately
"Yes, that's it!" Zhu Yuejun said, holding up a sesame seed cake.
"Shaobing?"
"I mean food!"
"Food?" Zhao Xuanyi frowned!
"It's autumn now, and in less than half a month, it will be time to prepare for the harvest. They must be guarding these two areas for food! No matter how many soldiers or people Zhu Moxian has, if they don't have enough We will definitely not be able to hold on to food support! And in the cold winter, food is the largest preparation fund!"
"And have you forgotten? In order to raise a certain amount of food for the victims of the Henan disaster, you planted all your potatoes, pumpkins and other plants in these two provinces, as well as corn for emergency purposes. If Zhu Mo The strings collected will probably be enough for an army of 200,000 for three years!" Zhu Yuejun said in surprise.
"Fuck!" Zhao Xuanyi snatched the sesame seed cake from Zhu Yuejun's hand, took two bites into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
"What the hell! You're really good at playing! I've been working hard to plant here, and it's autumn, and he's here to collect it? I'm dreaming!"
"Although these two provinces are relatively close to Henan, they are even closer to the capital! If this batch of grain is transported to the capital, Zhu Moxian will have no worries about consuming it with us!"
