Huoluohe tribe spies appeared in the army, and the grain and grass troops were almost successfully attacked. The prince and the two soldiers fought hard and were exhausted until they fainted... The sudden unexpected incident forced the Yaoguo army to temporarily stay in place while investigating the enemy. What route did it take to get here? While investigating suspicious people in the army.
Thanks to the garrison, Bai Qige was finally able to rest quietly for two days. This time, her old illness relapsed quite seriously, and she had to lie down for a whole day before she could get over the severe pain in her lower abdomen.
Qiao Erhe was transferred from the escort force to the Chinese army by Yi Chenjing. His only task was to guard Bai Qige when he left. No one was allowed to approach the camp without his order, not even Xiao Baishan and Liang Gong. Even so, Yi Chen Jing still felt it was not enough, so Bai Qige's request to return to the rear army to supply troops was flatly rejected, and her residence was resettled back to the general's tent where Yi Chenjing lived, which was the same as before.
But something still changed, after Bai Qige simply answered him "no".
She does not agree to become Yi Chenjing's wife again, now or in the future. It is the best ending for him to sit on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and for her, it is enough to have peace of mind with her unspoken love. It is better than living in countless shadows with different intentions. They quarreled and quarreled, and the more they quarreled, the greater the discord became.
One day before a thorough inventory of the three armies was prepared to resume the journey, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
Only Yi Chenjing thought that he was an uninvited guest. Both Bai Qige and the soldiers below welcomed this guest very much. Xiao Baishan and others also considered Yi Chenjing's face so they did not express their welcome too much. After all, they were here to deliver something. Yes, these are the things we need most right now.
"Actually, we followed the army shortly after it set off. It won't take long to replenish military supplies. My adoptive father and I discussed renting two cars to go with you all the way north. This way, whatever the army needs can be readily available. To add to that." In the camp, the elegant-looking man with green eyes kept taking out things from his baggage, and soon the short table was filled with piles, "Didn't General Xiao say he liked Ningxiang wine last time? Ning paid a high price for it. I pulled two jars in the car, which were given to General Xiao; there was also a miracle medicine for treating headaches, which was given to General Liang; and there were twenty boxes of Saigon cold muscle ointment. Just cut out a piece as big as a grain of rice and apply it on the forehead. It can prevent heatstroke and drive away the heat, which is enough for the army to walk ten times back and forth in Hongqueyuan. This was specially purchased by my adoptive father from Saigon. Each box contains seventeen taels. Twenty boxes will be considered three hundred taels, leaving forty taels. Quan should be based on Ning’s will.”
A group of two people and two carts of goods went to the front line of the battlefield to sell things. Several generals present who had joined the army were all astonished - I had seen businessmen, but I had never seen such a businessman who made money without risking his life, let alone one who made money without risking his life and was so black. profiteers!
"Boss Ning, three hundred taels is not a small amount. Although it is a discounted price, but..." Liang Gong laughed dryly. He is in charge of military expenses. When he encounters someone like Yi Chenjing who is used to being spendthrift, he can only handle it himself. A good money bag, otherwise the emperor might not be able to save his head when the army returns and asks about military expenses!
"This place is extremely hot and dry, and many soldiers have fallen ill because of it. The money spent on medicine so far is no less than a hundred taels. I think it is better to solve the problem directly from the root cause. It seems that I have spent more money, but it is better to spend it slowly and waste it later. Loss of troops." Bai Qige saw Liang Gong's intention and rushed forward to speak, "Besides, Master Ning also gave away many things. Those two jars of Ningxiang wine alone are worth a lot of money. After all, we took advantage. .”
Yi Chenjing, who had been silent since entering the camp, glanced sideways.
In the past two days, Bai Qige had never given him a good look. She would either say nothing with a blank face, or send him off with a few words in a long speech. However, when she arrived in front of Ning Xizui, her face was full of joy, and she was looking towards Ning Xizui every word.
say.
He accepts that women are fickle, but leaving him behind other men is really hard to accept.
"Keep the medicine and take the rest back." Yi Chenjing pushed the things on the table away lightly and stared at Bai Qige without squinting.
As long as Ning Xizui appears, someone who always relies on his magnanimity and forbearance will inevitably behave strangely against common sense. Therefore, Bai Qige is not surprised by Yi Chenjing's decision, and still doesn't even look at it: "It doesn't matter if you just leave the medicine, it will make it better."
The soldiers below will suffer less from the scorching heat, and Mr. Ning’s merits are immeasurable.”
Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it just for businessmen to make money? If you want to make some meritorious deeds, it's better not to take any money and just give it away."
Xiao Baishan and Liang Gong knew that they were in a period of internal conflict within the family, and were not surprised by the turmoil under the seemingly calm surface. However, Ning Xizui, who had just arrived, did not know. Seeing Bai Qige's cold face, Yi Chenjing did not have a good attitude.
, thinking that his appearance had caused trouble again, he smiled so hard that he almost dripped coptis juice: "Miss Bai, please stop speaking for me. If this continues, I will lose all my money on this trip."
"Forcible buying and selling are not tolerated in the military. Anyone who dares to do so is abusing power and will not be laughed at by the world."
A nail that was neither soft nor hard pierced his heart. Yi Chenjing pretended to be nonchalant despite being filled with unknown anger. When talking to Ning Xizui, anyone could hear the forced gnashing of teeth in his tone: "It's just a joke, I want to come to Ning."
The boss won't mind. I heard from General Xiao that Boss Ning plans to accompany the army to the border of Huoluo River and then return to Lingyun City, right? That's just right. Tomorrow the three armies will continue to march north, and Boss Ning will follow him in large quantities.
Several generals and I have gained some confidence, but the military life is difficult. If there is anything you can't bear, Boss Ning, please bear with it, otherwise we will go back home as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Ning Xizui waved her hands with a pure face, "My adoptive father and I will arrange our own food, clothing, housing and transportation. General, don't worry about it. It would be bad if you are distracted and delay the business."
When she misses him, she would rather be drunk than miss the iron pot! Yi Chenjing glared hard, and really wanted to ask loudly, do you still want to be a manly man? Looking at Bai Qige, who glanced at him from time to time, it was clear that it had nothing to do with it.
With his own attitude, he had no choice but to swallow his anger in his stomach.
One thing conquered another, Ning Xizui could conquer Bai Qige, but Bai Qige was his weakness. Going around and around, the prince and general with the highest status became the most useless. Yi Chenjing sighed deeply, and Xiao Baishan and others thought
I didn't dare to laugh, I was holding myself back so much that my shoulders were shaking like sand, and my heart, liver, and lungs were trembling along with it.
The matter is not over yet. With Ning Xizui following him in the Chinese army, Yi Chenjing's life is almost like a year - Bai Qige and Ning Xizui can be seen riding side by side, talking and laughing, during the march, and they have to sit next to each other when taking a break.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, but his sense of presence was unprecedentedly weak and low. For most of the day, Bai Qige didn't even glance at him.
Seeing that Yi Chenjing was in a depressed mood, Chen An rode a few steps quickly to catch up and suggested in a low voice: "General, I don't think it's better to let the man named Ning follow the rear army. The princess is so close to him.
, letting other soldiers watch will inevitably lead to rumors of right and wrong..."
"Whoever spreads rumors will have his tongue cut out."
Chen An shuddered. He couldn't tell that Yi Chenjing was joking. His indifferent expression and harsh tone were merciless, with a hint of anger. Chen An sighed silently and shook his head. Chen An, who was temporarily leading the position of deputy general,
Looking back at Bai Qige and the other two, they probably didn't know yet about Yi Chenjing's anger, or... were they deliberately trying to anger the general?
Aware of the gaze in front of her, Ning Xizui rubbed her neck: "Miss Bai, don't always involve me when you have a disagreement with the general. When you walk in the army, you always feel like a light on your back, and your whole body feels uncomfortable."
"He won't do anything to you. The grain and fodder team was attacked a few days ago. Although there was no loss at all, the soldiers were worried and worried that they would not be able to keep up with the supplies. Having you and the goods can calm the morale of the army. He protected you before it was too late.
How dare I make things difficult for you?"
Bai Qige's comfort was weak, and Ning Xizui smiled bitterly: "Whether he will make things difficult or not, we will find out in the evening."
Facts have proved that Ning Xizui has a sharp eye, while Bai Qige overestimated Yi Chenjing's magnanimity, underestimated his temperament, and also underestimated Yi Chenjing's methods of making things difficult for others. At night, the three armies set up camp to rest, but Bai Qige still stayed in Ning
Yi Chenjing, who was chatting beside Xizui and rarely walked around for the first time for the first time, slowly walked towards the two of them with his hands behind his back, with a strange smile on his face that made everyone shiver.
"Why don't you go back to the camp so late, do you have to come to see you personally?" Yi Chenjing repeated his old trick, deliberately making his relationship with Bai Qige ambiguous in front of Ning Xizui, and turned his eyes to Ning Xizui.
With a stiff smile, he said, "Oh, by the way, I was busy with military affairs during the day and didn't have time to tell Boss Ning that the number of tents was based on the number of people going on the expedition. There was no spare time, so I had to force Boss Ning to sleep in the open at night."
Before Bai Qige could expose the crude lie, Ning Xizui raised his hand with a smile and pointed to the edge of the camp casually: "General, don't worry about it. My adoptive father has always been considerate and has prepared a tent in the car for the night, as well as all the necessary supplies along the way.
Supplies are all available. If the general needs anything, he can come to Ning. As for the price... With Miss Bai in the middle, Ning will never just ask for a price."
Yi Chenjing nodded calmly, having already scolded Ning Xizui in his heart. A businessman is a businessman. He wants to make small profits, but he doesn't want to suffer big losses. He cheated him out of his money with groceries like a fly.
The man who hangs around his woman should be dragged out and left naked in the wilderness.
With Ning Xizui chatting with her to relieve her boredom, and watching Yi Chenjing's rare and extremely depressed expression, Bai Qige's melancholy for the past few days was mostly gone, and there was a smile on her face. She saw many soldiers around her secretly taking a look here.
Sitting back and watching the show, thinking that it would not be a good thing to have Yi Chenjing standing aside like this in embarrassment, he simply stretched out his hand to hold his long arm under his military uniform, smiling gracefully and gracefully.
"It's getting late. Mr. Ning has worked hard all the way and should rest early. Qi Ge won't disturb him anymore. I'll come over again before setting off tomorrow morning. No matter what, I want to meet Mr. Ning's adoptive father and thank him for his consideration for my long-distance expedition.
So thoughtful.”
Someone stood aside with a cold expression. No matter how ignorant Ning Xizui was, he would not stop Bai Qige from going back to rest. Compared with the two carts of military supplies, it was obvious that in the eyes of the capricious prince and general, the prince's concubine was more important.
After watching the two people leave, Ning Xi stretched lazily, her emerald-green eyes tinged with a bit of sleepiness, and the old man behind her approached like a ghost, making no sound.
"Chasing Yao Jun for hundreds of miles for this woman, what do you like about her? I told you that those who achieve great things must not indulge in women, have you forgotten it?"
"Don't be so serious, adoptive father." Ning Xizui raised the corner of her mouth, smiled warmly, and her eyes suddenly deepened, "Can't you see? Her light is more dazzling than any woman I have ever seen. She is so beautiful.
It’s so beautiful that you can’t help but be amazed... you want to take it for yourself.”
