Chapter 176 The army sets out
When Murong Qi bit the sweet potato in his hand, he was shocked. The sweet potato was soft, glutinous and sweet, melted in the mouth, and tasted particularly good. He said curiously:
"How can there be such food in the world? It has a unique taste and is easy to carry."
Of course Lin Yunxi would not miss the opportunity to sell food. She quickly said:
"I heard that Mr. Qi has a lot of properties. I wonder if you have a food store?"
"Yes, I have quite a few food shops."
"How about we cooperate with Mr. Qi to sell some of my food after it is produced?"
“Do you grow sweet potatoes?”
"Well, there's also this corn, let's try it."
We have to sell grain anyway, so we can do it together. She handed him another roasted corn.
Murong Qi took her roasted corn and took a bite. It was another amazing food. He said curiously:
"Miss Lin also planted this corn?"
"Well, I planted it too. I have planted a lot now. It will be almost ready to harvest when I return from Jinwei City. I don't plan to open so many food shops. If the prince wants to cooperate, you can consider it."
"Of course. Such good food will definitely increase the sales of my food shop."
"Okay, let's go back to Shangjing City and discuss cooperation matters. Now let's solve the smallpox in Jinwei City first."
After what happened last night, Lin Yunxi found that Mr. Qi was not targeting her so much anymore, which was indeed a good thing. She would have more and more food in the future. One more friend is better than one more enemy, right?
While she was eating the food in her hands, she was thinking about her food and felt happy. The black ash on her hands accidentally got on her face.
Murong Qi saw the black ash on her face, which was as cute as a little tabby cat, so she unconsciously reached out and wiped it for her.
His handsome big hands suddenly wiped her face, and she was stunned. What was he doing?
Tianer and Tiansan who were standing next to them saw this scene and quickly turned their heads. Their master seemed to be different from this prince that night. How should they explain to the prince?
Lin Yunxi stood up suddenly and said:
"My face is dirty? Let me wash it."
After saying that, she ran to the river, saw the black ash on her face through the reflection of the river water, and washed it with water.
When Murong Qi saw her running away in panic, the corners of her lips curled up. Was she shy?
Lin Yunxi calmed down, and comforted herself that he only meant well and didn't have any intentions. They wanted to go to the city together anyway, so just don't show anything different.
Seeing that there was no more black ash on her face, she returned to the fire and continued to exhort:
"Two, three, you guys eat more, otherwise you will get hungry easily when you hit the road."
Tian Er and Tian San were still embarrassed at this moment. They were thinking about how to record this detail and give it to the prince. They said anxiously:
"Okay, master, eat more too."
After the group finished their breakfast, they packed their bags and continued riding.
Here, in the capital, Murong Hao set out from Lin Mansion early in the morning, put on his military uniform and arrived at the gate of the palace.
Last night, Vice General Rong had appointed 10,000 soldiers for him and were waiting outside the palace gate.
Murong Hao was riding his horse in front of the team.
At this moment, a father-in-law’s voice sounded:
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Murong Hao dismounted and knelt down with the soldiers to salute.
Just listen to the emperor saying:
"No gift."
The people below all stood up and listened to the emperor's words:
"My fellow soldiers, today you are going to Jinwei City, which is a city very close to our capital. In order to prevent smallpox from spreading in Dongsheng Kingdom, we must protect the people of Jinwei City so that smallpox can be It will not spread across the country. Do you have the confidence to protect Jinwei City and our Dongsheng Kingdom?"
"Yes, protect Jinwei City and protect Dongsheng Kingdom!" A voice came from below.
Just listen to the emperor say again:
"The person who is taking you on this expedition is King Rui of our Dongsheng Kingdom, who is also my son. I hope you can assist him well and win this battle of smallpox. I am waiting for your triumphant return in Shangjing City. Now Feng Rui The king is the general of Zhenjin, and all matters must be obeyed by him, do you hear that?"
"As ordered!"
"Okay, I won't say much more. Let's set out with the army. I'm waiting for your good news and for everyone's triumphant and safe return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will fulfill our mission and return in triumph!"
There was another reply from below.
In the distance, on the palace wall, Concubine Rong had arrived early in the morning. She wanted to see her only son off, but she didn't know if she would be able to see him again after this farewell.
She was holding the veil and was already crying.
Far away from the palace gate, a carriage was parked in the corner. Ye Shiyu had been waiting here early in the morning. She was coming to see off His Highness the Eighth Prince, whom she had longed for. She looked at him riding a tall horse, majestic and heroic, She said to herself in the carriage:
"Brother Hao, you must come back safely!"
Murong Hao rode a horse, led the palace doctors and ten thousand soldiers, left the palace gate in a mighty manner, and headed straight towards Jinwei City.
Two hours after the army marched, Murong Hao ordered everyone to rest and eat where they were. At this time, Tianyi asked to see them.
Tianyi gave him a piece of paper. He looked at the content on it, seemed thoughtful, and put the note away. His girl was fine now, and he felt at ease.
Here, Lin Yunxi and Murong Qi arrived at a small town near Jinwei City. They thought about going into the town to find food, but when they came to the town, they found that all the shops in the town were closed. A business.
Lin Yunxi looked curiously at the street. There were almost no pedestrians. Suddenly she spotted an old man carrying a load. She stepped forward and asked:
"Old man, why are all the stores in this town closed?"
The old man looked at them and said enthusiastically:
"Girls, you are foreigners. Our town is close to Jinwei City. Now there is smallpox there. People here are hiding in their homes and don't dare to come out. No one dares to come out to do business."
Lin Yunxi heard this. Smallpox was a disease that everyone talked about in ancient times. It was strange that some people dared to come out to do business.
She had no choice but to take care of Murong Qi, who promised to be in charge of the food. She asked Tian Er beside her:
"Two, we can't find food in this town. Let's find a place to stay. It's best to have a place with a river like last night."
"Go back to the master, yes, I will take the master away."
After saying that, Tian Er took the horse in front and led a few people forward.
Not long after, they came to a place under a big tree with a small river. After riding horses all morning, they were also hungry.
Lin Yunxi looked at the environment. It was good. There was a small river, and maybe there were fish to catch. So there was no need to eat dry food. It was better to save the dry food for more difficult places.
She told Tianer and Tiansan to hunt pheasants or hares in the forest, and she went to the river to see if they could catch fish.
Murong Qi also ordered his guards to find dry branches to make a fire, and he accompanied her to the river.
