Chapter 284 Peace of mind, stay by your side forever
Chapter 284 Peace of mind, stay with me forever
Xiao Shaorong followed Xiao Jiu'an and was about to go in. But when he heard Xiao Jiu'an's words, he was so frightened that he immediately stopped and stammered: "Yes, it's the princess. The princess has been sleeping all day."
Damn it, how could he forget that the prince has a strong sense of territoriality and doesn't like strangers stepping into his territory, so he actually let people put the princess in the prince's tent?
This is simply too long a life!
"Ji Yunkai?" No wonder there was a hint of familiarity. It turned out to be Ji Yunkai.
"Yes, it's the princess. The princess didn't sleep all night and fainted from exhaustion in the morning. Doctor Zhuge said that the princess was too weak to move and needed a good rest, so I asked my servants to help the princess here." Xiao Shaorong prayed secretly in his heart,
I pray that Xiao Jiuan will let Ji Yunkai go for a moment because of his fainting.
He really didn't mean it, he just forgot for a moment.
"Yeah!" I don't know if Xiao Shaorong's prayer had an effect or something. After hearing this, Xiao Jiu'an responded coldly and walked inside.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Shaorong knew he had made a mistake and stood outside without daring to come in. Xiao Jiu'an also had no intention of letting him in: "Go and arrange for people from the heavy barracks to take turns guarding Liulifang. No one is allowed to enter or exit."
Although Beichen Tianqian was injured, it did not mean that he would give up Liuli Fangzi.
"Go and ask the group of people Ji Yunkai sent here who among them is willing to go to Liulifang. Remember, as long as the whole family enters, they are only allowed in but not out."
That group of people cannot stay in the army forever, and if they want to leave the army, Princess Tianwu will never let them go.
"Beichen Tianqi took action?" Xiao Shaorong guessed it as soon as he heard it.
"Well, he's out of the city. Send someone to keep an eye on him. The same goes for Nan Jinzhao. Let the people from Zhidao Academy keep an eye on him." Beichen Tianqi is also considered a figure. After the failure of last night, he was not in the city.
He stayed and did not look for the Feng family. Instead, he left alone and picked the Feng family clean.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Shaorong felt inexplicably guilty when he mentioned Nan Jinzhao.
He really didn't dare to tell the prince about the ambiguity between Nan Jinzhao and the princess. Telling Ji Yunkai would not bring good results, and he would not get any benefits either.
"You can get out!" Xiao Jiuan frowned in disgust. He didn't like the smell of food filling the air, but...
When he walked into the inner room and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, Xiao Jiuan immediately relaxed his brows. Even the messy bed did not affect his good mood and even made him have the urge to take a nap.
Last night, he almost didn't sleep all night, and he didn't stop today. He was really tired.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jiuan took off his coat and fell on the bed...
The bed was filled with Ji Yunkai's breath, which was light and seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts. Xiao Jiuan slowly closed his eyes and let himself fall into a deep sleep...
He hasn't slept so peacefully in a long time!
Ji Yunkai was busy all night, but Xiao Jiuan slept until dawn, which was something that had never happened to him before.
For as long as he can remember, he has had trouble falling asleep at night. Even during the period of poisoning, he could not sleep deeply. He was always in a light sleep and could not hear the slightest movement.
In the military camp, there were people patrolling back and forth all the time, and he couldn't sleep soundly. This was the first time that he slept so peacefully, and enjoyed the satisfaction that comes from a full sleep.
"Perhaps, I should consider raising one more person." If Ji Yunkai could always have a calming aura around him and would not betray him, he would not mind raising Ji Yunkai for a lifetime. Anyway, the Yanbei Palace is not raising a child.
Sorry.
Xiao Jiuan, who had slept well, was still cold and aloof, but he was less aloof and indifferent. Anyone with long eyes could see that he was in excellent condition.
In the morning, Xiao Shaorong was really shocked when he saw that he was full of energy: "Your Majesty, today..." It was rare that he didn't show a sullen face.
You know, Xiao Jiuan never slept well in the army, so he would never look good to others if he stayed overnight in the army.
This was the first time since he met Xiao Jiuan that he saw Xiao Jiuan refreshed and full of energy in the morning.
Xiao Jiuan was indeed in a good mood, but he did not pay attention to Xiao Shaorong and asked coldly: "How many people are still suffering from unsolved poisons?"
In the past month, in order to detoxify the Yanbei army, they not only did not train, but also consumed all the food, grass and medicinal materials they brought. Once the poison was detoxified, they had to start training and save food and grass.
"There are still five thousand corpses whose poisons have not been detoxified, and eight thousand people whose poisons have not been detoxified in southern Xinjiang. I heard from the princess that everyone's poisons will be detoxified by tomorrow at the latest." It dragged on for more than a month.
, Xiao Shaorong was also extremely tired.
This month, he used all the connections in the Xiao family to barely save the lives of the 30,000 Yanbei troops. In order to raise medicinal herbs, he even traded with the Yun family in the south and exchanged a large amount of food for the medicinal herbs they needed.
.
Suffering was inevitable, but at that time they had no choice but to let the profiteer of the Yun family take advantage.
However, the Yanbei Army's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Sooner or later, they will get their capital back with profits.
"In this way, after three days, we will arrange for everyone to go into the mountains for training for five days." In addition to training, going into the mountains can also hunt, which is a common training for the Yanbei Army.
The imperial court provided very little supplies to the Yanbei Army, and the rewards for winning battles were pitifully small. Moreover, the imperial court did not pay the Yanbei Army, but only provided some grain and grass every year. The rest was all handled by the Yanbei Army.
Over the years, the imperial court had allocated only enough food and grass to the Yanbei army to keep them from starving to death, not enough to eat them. Not to mention the weapons, which had not been replaced in more than ten years.
It depends on the imperial court to support the Yanbei army. Let alone fighting, it is good to be able to travel. However, the area in Yanbei is not fertile due to years of war. The local tax revenue can ensure that the Yanbei army is well fed, but no matter how much it is, it will be gone.
But raising soldiers is not just about keeping them well-fed. There are really not many ordinary soldiers who serve as soldiers to defend the country. Most of them do it just to have enough food and to get promoted and make a fortune.
Being a soldier is a job where you have to put your head on your belt. If you can't feed people and don't have the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, who will fight for you? Who will fight for your life on the battlefield?
Over the years, in order to raise troops and provide better conditions for Yanbei's army, Xiao Jiu'an has been worrying a lot. Going into the mountains for training and hunting is a method Xiao Jiu'an has come up with in the past few years.
This method can not only train their ability to fight in the mountains and forests, but also add some meat to everyone. The furs can also be sold for money, which can be regarded as an income for the Yanbei army.
After hearing Xiao Jiu'an's arrangement, the expression on Xiao Shaorong's face immediately became solemn. He was in charge of the affairs of the Yanbei Army, so he naturally knew the financial situation of the Yanbei Palace, but...
There is nothing he can do!
Yan Bei's army consumes money every year, and the consumption every year is not small. Even if he empties the entire Xiao family, he will not be able to last long.
Now, I just hope that Prince Duan’s glass can make money and alleviate some of their burdens... (To be continued)
