Chapter 130 She is Behind Me
The next day.
Shi Xi got up early today.
She was awakened by the aroma of food!
She was also very curious. There were no residential buildings around, so how could the aroma of cooking from other people's homes reach her house?
I put on my shoes, got out of bed, and went to the living room.
As soon as she looked, she saw a figure busy in the small kitchen.
Xiao Jingyan came at some point. His wide sleeves were tied behind him with a rope, and he was wearing a beige chicken apron.
Two strong and powerful, yet very white arms were exposed, cooking.
Shi Xi was a little confused.
Why did he come to cook for himself so early in the morning?
However, when she saw the rice porridge, steamed bread, and pickled vegetables prepared on the table, she suddenly felt... very homey.
Ever since she was kicked out of the Shi family, only Xiao Jingyan would come to cook for her.
She usually eats takeout.
She is a bit picky about food and has long been fed up with the uncleanness of takeout food.
"you're awake?"
"Did you sleep well?"
When the dishes were out of the pot, Xiao Jingyan saw Shi Xi standing in a daze at the table and asked casually.
Shi Xi gave him a sweet smile.
He looked at the food on the table in confusion.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat the food I cooked every day?"
"From now on, as long as I have time, I will come to bring you food every day, or come and cook for you."
Xiao Jingyan had originally planned to come and cook breakfast himself, and prepare lunch or dinner in the barracks and bring it to her.
"You don't know, but last night, when Wang Tiezhu and his friends were buying jewelry, they ran into one of the richest people in the area."
"Mr. Wu is so contented! He traded a notebook and a charcoal pen for a set of gilded and kingfisher feather headgear."
"Come, take a look, do you like it?"
"Although this set of jewelry isn't the best, it's something most people don't have..."
Putting the plate on the table, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly brought the tray of headgear for Shi Xi to look at.
He leaned slightly to the side, and the morning sun shone right on his face.
At that moment, Shi Xi also felt a little bit of excitement in her eyes.
This villain prince who died in battle at the age of seventeen in the novel was also a sunny and gentle young man.
Shi Xi didn't care what kind of person he was in the novel or in that little-known history.
She only believed what she saw.
If one day, Xiao Jingyan can take control of Dayong and unify the entire northern barbarian tribes.
He will surely become a wise leader who looks down upon the world and is respected by all people.
"Xiao Jingyan, how are the people in Lingyao City doing now?"
"Can we buy food, charcoal and other supplies from other places?"
Shi Xi asked with concern.
Although Xiao Jingyan didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, he still answered truthfully:
"It's much better now. The New Year is coming soon. When the ice and snow melt in spring, we can go out of the city and buy things elsewhere."
Now the people of Lingyao City cannot go out because the roads are blocked by heavy snow. They are trapped in the city and have no money to spend. They can only rely on Xiao Jingyan to buy supplies from Shi Xi to rescue them.
Once the temperature rises and the snow melts, things will be much better.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi frowned again.
"When do you plan to rescue General Wang and his family?"
Xiao Jingyan's sword-like brows relaxed a little.
"There's no rush for this matter. I want to start before Laba Festival."
"But before we go to the capital, we may have to fight another battle with Shanmeng and Zhongjue."
Hearing this, Shi Xi's heart skipped a beat.
He's going to fight again...
"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."
Shi Xi asked hurriedly.
Seeing her worried and anxious look, Xiao Jingyan felt a warmth in his heart.
No matter what happens, he doesn't have to worry or be afraid, because she is behind him!
He even felt that since he met Shi Xi, even good fortune was on their side.
"We just need Xixi to continue to supply us with supplies."
"Leave the fighting to this king!"
"This time, I intend to go all out and conquer the entire Shanmeng and Zhongjue countries in one fell swoop."
"Even if we can't conquer the whole country, we must at least capture a few cities!"
Xiao Jingyan's tone was very firm.
Looking at him, he seems to be confident of winning.
Although Shi Xi didn't know where his confidence came from, it was good that he had such lofty ambitions.
"What else do you need for munitions?"
"I can go abroad and buy it for you."
Even a powerful family like the Yan family, which controls everything, cannot have too many weapons.
Recently, Shi Xi's world has not been peaceful.
Many countries are at war, with gunfire everywhere.
China, where Shi Xi is, is the only pure land in hell.
China has strict control over guns and weapons. If Shi Xi hadn't been delivering goods to Xiao Jingyan, she would have never touched a real gun in her twenty years of life.
When Xiao Jingyan heard her say that getting weapons would be so troublesome in the future, how could he bear to let Shi Xi suffer?
"Really not necessary."
He raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly.
Looking at Shi Xi's questioning eyes, he compromised and added:
"At least, we don't have to fight Shanmeng and Zhongjue this time."
"The last one hasn't been used up yet."
Shi Xi then half-believed and half-doubted and put the matter aside.
After finishing her meal, Shi Xi was anxious to go out and see Yan Ran and Sister Meng, so she left in a hurry.
Xiao Jingyan stayed and simply cleaned up the dishes before returning to Dayong Dynasty.
Recently, the Xiao family army has recruited a lot of new soldiers, and each general's camp has been assigned a group of them.
The Xiao family army has now skyrocketed from 130,000 to 150,000.
Maybe the treatment is too good.
In Lingyao City, all men who met the requirements signed up to join the army.
If they had not set up a physical test as a test, there would be more people.
But Xiao Jingyan couldn't let everyone join the army.
Some manpower must also be reserved for other projects such as quarries, oil field development, city wall construction, and wind power generation.

After driving for half an hour, Shi Xi arrived at Yan's Teahouse.
The last time she came here at night, she was almost robbed in the parking lot. Fortunately, she brought the ancient painting that day, and Xiao Jingyan appeared in the car in time to help her out.
Shi Xi felt that since that time, her feelings towards Xiao Jingyan had gradually changed.
From the very beginning, I treated him as my own boss and bought and supplied things for him.
By now, I have considered him as a friend.
Or maybe they are family members, and their relationship is comparable to that of Yan Ran, my best friend whom I have known for decades.
After parking the car, I took the car keys and walked along the path leading to Yan's Teahouse.
Shi Xi shook her head and chuckled, marveling at the magic of fate.
The teahouse ordered ambergris today. As soon as you enter the door, the ancient and noble atmosphere hits you.
Compared to the fragrance, Sister Meng's outfit today is very noble.
At first glance, he looks like someone who buys antiques like they are toilet paper!
I saw Shi Xi coming in holding a big box.
Without waiting for the teahouse waiter to come and pick her up, she came over first.
"Come on, come on, how can a little girl like you lift something so heavy?"
"Sister will help you!"
As she spoke, she held the box of jewelry in her hands as if it were a treasure and placed it on the table carefully.
After getting Shi Xi's permission, she opened the box.
There are only women's accessories in it, with a wide variety of styles.
However, Sister Meng immediately fell in love with the gilded and kingfisher-inlaid headpiece.
1. Why is the male protagonist called the "villain"?
In the book "Da Yong Tian Xia", the hero is just a character in the book. Since history is written by the victors, the Emperor of Da Yong can write about the hero as he wants, which leads to people misunderstanding some of the hero's style.
2. Why didn’t the heroine fight back against the Shi family?
The heroine initially sought revenge against them, but then, upon hearing from Wei Yingchuan that his mother, Zhong Lijing, had borrowed over 2 billion yuan from the group, she waited to see her father, Shi Guolin, suffer a terrible fate. Before leaving the Shi family, the heroine signed a severance agreement with Shi Guolin, making her unable to be held responsible for any family matters. So far, the heroine's half-sister has troubled her several times, but she hasn't caused any trouble. Unlike Shi Guolin, she's not completely evil!
