When Yun Miaomiao woke up, she felt as if a car had run over her whole body. The familiar smell around her made her couldn't help but get closer.
"Are you awake?" Gu Fengqing's hoarse voice came to mind from above her head, and Yun Miaomiao buried her face in his arms, "Well, I'm hungry."
After hearing this, Gu Fengqing let go and sat up from the bed. Then he put on his clothes and left the room. Yun Miaomiao lay on the bed and let herself go.
After a while, she heard the door open. Gu Fengqing came in with a wooden basin, twisted the handkerchief, helped her up, and washed her face.
"I've asked the kitchen to prepare food for you. Someone will bring it to you in a moment. You need to sit down for a while to wake up." Gu Fengqing said in a low voice.
Yun Miaomiao hugged his waist, "Did you see the mark I left for you at the inn? Did those people catch it?"
Gu Fengqing put down the handkerchief and said, "No, I asked Qing Mo to burn the inn. I know who the spy is. This matter is not urgent. After the matter in Mobei is resolved, we will go back and settle the accounts with them."
"
It turns out that he knows, and since he knows, that’s fine, and he doesn’t have to worry about it.
There was a knock on the door soon outside. Qing Mo opened the door and walked in with two bowls of egg noodles, "Master and Madam, the noodles are cooked, hurry up and eat."
Yun Miaomiao has been packed up by Gu Fengqing, and she is sitting at the table. She looks at Qing Mo, "Qing Mo, you look a lot darker."
Qing Mo scratched his head, "During this period, the young master was busy on his way and rushed to see his wife, so I also tanned a bit, but compared to Qingyang, I am still doing better."
They had already met Qingyang on the way here. Qingyang was so black that he almost didn't dare to recognize him.
Yun Miaomiao laughed in a low voice. Compared to Qingyang, the blackness of Qingmo is nothing.
Gu Fengqing pushed the noodles in front of Yun Miaomiao, "Eat quickly, don't starve."
Yun Miaomiao's stomach rumbled, and she stopped talking and started eating noodles.
After the two of them finished eating, Gu Fengqing accompanied her to eat and take a walk in the yard.
"Have you ever heard of Gui Kuipei?" Yun Miaomiao held Gu Fengqing's hand and remembered what Yan Xi said, and couldn't help but ask about Gu Fengqing.
Gu Fengqing nodded and looked at her, "I have heard some rumors before, but the city lord of Gui Kuipei went into seclusion three years ago. It is said that he was punished by heaven for spying on heaven's secrets, so he handed over to Gui Kuipei during the retreat.
To his biological sister Yan Xi."
"Then what was the name of the previous city lord?" Yun Miaomiao asked curiously.
Gu Fengqing paused for a moment, then said, "Yancang!"
"Yan Xi seems to know a lot about our affairs, and he even said that he can help us."
"Gui Kuipei's rules can be exchanged for anything, and can help you solve all difficulties, as long as you can meet his conditions."
No wonder, no wonder that Yan Xi said that as long as she stayed, even if she wanted Bei Lie, she could get it and give it to her.
Seeing her unclear expression, Gu Fengqing asked softly, "Yan Xi negotiated terms with you?"
Although it was a question, Gu Fengqing's words were completely certain about this matter.
Yun Miaomiao frowned, "I didn't agree, and it's impossible for me to agree."
Gu Fengqing held her waist, "What did she say?"
"Ask me to cook for her, and she offers Bei Lie with both hands." Yun Miaomiao did not hide anything and said it directly.
Gu Fengqing snorted coldly, "You don't overestimate your capabilities."
"Are you going to Guikaipei again?" Gu Fengqing hugged her tightly, forcing her to look at him, "You are not allowed to go there again."
Yun Miaomiao hung her hands around his neck and shook her head, "That won't work. She still owes me half of the food. Don't worry. Miss Yan Xi is a city lord. She is beautiful and has a kind heart. Of course I
I won’t embarrass myself, and I won’t embarrass her. She and I are business partners. Besides, I have a jealous person in my family. No matter what, I can’t bear to let you, a handsome man, serve tea to a woman.
Pour some water."
Gu Fengqing approached her and said, "Madam, you have to take good care of me. If it makes my heart cold, I will send myself to my father-in-law and mother-in-law with a knife, and file a complaint there, and let them complain in front of Naihe Bridge."
I’m waiting for you and I’ll give you a good meal.”
"Wow, you man is so small-minded." Yun Miaomiao said with disdain.
Gu Fengqing raised his eyebrows, "It's not that I'm petty, it's that I only have you in my heart."
Yun Miaomiao felt her teeth sore, "Okay, okay, you didn't come to Mobei to have a romantic relationship with me. If you don't go out, Qing Mo will probably dig a hole in the wall outside the garden."
Gu Fengqing squinted toward the door and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Lady, my husband wants to try your craftsmanship. Don't let him down."
Yun Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. People said that a long separation is better than a newlywed in love, and they were absolutely right.
After Gu Fengqing left, Yun Miaomiao walked around the yard by herself and then returned to her room.
The food has been brought back now, but the amount of seafood Yan Xi wants is quite large. I don't know if Dongqing and Qingyang have returned to Qinlan River, and whether the collected seafood can be delivered here in time.
If it is too late, this place is so desolate that even food cannot be grown.
Yun Miaomiao was lying on the window sill with a sad look on her face.
Surrounded by yellow sand, there are very few places where food can be grown, and the weather is also hot, so there is also very little food suitable for growing.
After thinking about it, Yun Miaomiao clicked on the screen of the mall and looked for a circle of food suitable for high-temperature planting. Among them were potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sorghum, which were suitable for planting, but these were the shortest ones.
It also takes two months, and the longest one takes three months to grow.
If you plant a large amount of food, manpower is the key. Gu Fengqing's soldiers and horses can temporarily rely on the food he brought back from Guikui Pi for two or three months. After the food is grown, these things can also be eaten.
Already.
The people in Mobei City are starving to death, and the labor force is no longer what it used to be. The city in front of Mobei City is Monan City. If Bei Lie attacks at this time, the soldiers will have no choice but to fight, let alone help grow food.
We still need to think of another way. We can't just buy a seeder by ourselves, replace the manpower, and just start the work openly.
Yun Miaomiao was thinking wildly, and as soon as this thought came out, she immediately became energetic.
I can’t buy the seeder in the mall, but I can make one myself?
After you have researched it yourself, isn’t it fair and square?
With this thought in mind, Yun Miaomiao went to the study room, found paper and pen, and started scribbling on the paper.
When Gu Fengqing came back, the sky was already dark, and Yun Miaomiao was still writing hard. After finally writing the last stroke, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing?" He had been standing behind Yun Miaomiao for a while, his eyes falling on the drawings on the table, and he couldn't see anything for a long time.
Yun Miaomiao heard the voice and raised her head to look at him, "Why are you back so soon?"
"Quickly?" Gu Fengqing raised his eyebrows, and Yun Miaomiao realized that it was already dark outside, "Ah, I was busy drawing and forgot about time. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."
Gu Fengqing pushed her back on the stool, put his hands on her shoulders smoothly, and began to knead her gently, "I'm not hungry, what are you doing, what are you painting, I saw it."
For a long time, I still didn’t see the reason.”
Yun Miaomiao enjoyed his movements and relaxed a lot, "It's a machine used to grow food. Didn't I go to Qinlan River? People there don't grow much food, but because of
The sea water is too salty to grow, but you see, there is desert wind and sand everywhere here, and there is very little food that can be grown. Most of it is transported from outside, or bought from merchants.
With fewer people growing their own food, we can no longer afford to eat the food. I have previously figured out a few types of food that are grown here. It only takes two or three months to grow them. By then, your food will not need to be transported from outside.
When you come back, you can just grow your own food and eat it yourself."
She paused for a moment, and then continued, "But, you see, Mobei City is quite big. If all the grain is grown, more manpower will be needed. People in Mobei City are already fleeing the famine.
The ones who are dead are dead. Most of the remaining people are old and young. I can’t let your soldiers who are fighting to farm. Although it is not impossible, but think about it, Bei Lie
If we were to attack at this time, everyone would be growing food in the fields, so who would be able to resist the foreign enemies, don’t you think?"
Gu Fengqing picked up the drawings on the table and looked at them carefully, and had an idea in his mind, "So, these are the things you came up with that can grow food without people?"
"It's not that we don't need people, we can at least reduce the number of people by half, so that the elderly and children can use them and cultivate the land without any effort. When our food production increases, will you still worry about not having enough to eat?" Yun Miaomiao
He smiled and said, "Besides, once this thing is researched and the drawings are sent back to the emperor, he will be implemented by people everywhere. Then everyone will not only be busy growing food, but can also do other things.
What do you think?"
Gu Fengqing nodded and looked at her with particularly doting eyes, "You are really my good wife. If I didn't have a wife as capable as you, my husband would be very worried and I don't know what to do."
Okay."
Yun Miaomiao lowered her head, "However, it will take time to make this thing. We will have to see the effect and then improve it. Husband, you have to let people outside eat less. Food cannot be grown so quickly."
Gu Fengqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You didn't have to go through this muddy water to make a lot of money in Qinlan River, so why do you have to come here?"
Yun Miaomiao leaned on him and said in a low voice, "Ying Feichen said that Mobei is also Xiao Zhuo's territory. So many people have starved to death. He, the emperor, will be stabbed in the spine. Xiao Zhuo was forcibly put on the throne by us.
, what he always wants in his heart is to be an ordinary citizen like me, and I want to try my best to help him. Moreover, I have been hungry before, and I know that it is uncomfortable to starve to death. I don’t want to know that there are other people who will starve to death because there is no food.
."
"I have always been afraid that I have not done enough. Those people obviously want to live, but the powerlessness caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters makes it impossible for them to survive. I have this ability, so naturally I want to help, even if
It’s okay if you are a little tired, at least they are still alive.”
The smile on Gu Fengqing's lips disappeared little by little, replaced by distress and helplessness, "My wife, you are really a beautiful person with a kind heart."
"No, I am the kindest person in the world." After saying that, Yun Miaomiao sighed softly, "How can there be such a kind person in the world like me?"
Gu Fengqing wanted to echo the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half, she burst into laughter and tears.
"My wife is the best in the world." Gu Fengqing said with a bit of a smile, "Mrs. Gu, who is kind and kind-hearted, could you please get up and have a quick meal?"
Yun Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him, "How did I realize that after not seeing you for so long, your mouth has become a lot sweeter. Where did the former arrogant and cold Gu Fengqing go?"
The man laughed softly, held her hand, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, "Throw it on someone's heart."
After the two exchanged compliments for a few times, they left the study. There were dishes prepared by the cook in the kitchen. Yun Miaomiao heated up the dishes, and then sat around the table with Gu Fengqing. It didn't matter.
Eat slowly.
After eating, Gu Fengqing was afraid that Yun Miaomiao would accumulate food, so he took the others for a walk before they each washed up and went to sleep.
This night, it was as quiet as water. Occasionally, there would be the sound of wind blowing through the treetops outside the window. The beauty of peace and tranquility spread faintly in this hazy night.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Fengqing went to the east of the city to train troops, while Yun Miaomiao took the drawings and continued to modify the details.
When Ying Feichen came to see her, she had finished revising everything.
"Are you going to Bei Lie?"
Yun Miaomiao was a little surprised, but it seemed to be expected. If Mr. Yuzhu had not written the letter, Ying Feichen would still be in the small town, living a comfortable life.
I was also enjoying the New Year's atmosphere in the capital, and I had no chance to know that the scenery in Mobei had declined early.
Ying Feichen saw that she looked much better and nodded, "If I hadn't accompanied you to Guikai Slope, I would have arrived in Beili long ago. Now I have successfully handed you over to Gu Fengqing's hands.
The task can be considered completed. There is still no news from Yuzhu. I wrote several times but got no reply. Even I sent a secret message between him and me, but there was no response at all. I am worried about his
It’s safe, I want to take a look.”
Yun Miaomiao understood clearly, "I asked Gu Fengqing to arrange for someone to take you there. I can't let you go alone. If anything happens to you, the Jiangchuan Xu family and Xu Shaoqing will probably eat me alive. You are the one who will accompany me."
I came with you, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
If something happens to Ying Feichen, the court situation that Xiao Zhuo finally managed to balance will probably become unbalanced again.
He knew what Yun Miaomiao was worried about, "Don't worry, I won't die that easily. My master said that I was born to be a tough-minded person and I can't die easily. Back then, I single-handedly broke into Beili to save people, but now I'm still helpless."
What you are afraid of, if there is an eventuality, Yun Miaomiao, about the academy, don't forget what you promised me, and you have to protect Mr. Liu Bai's good reputation for me."
"Hey, okay, okay, what you said is really as if you want to say goodbye to me. I am too lazy to talk to you. If you have the ability, you can go back and talk to me. Whoever wants to accept it will take over." Yun Miaomiao frowned,
I sensed something was wrong with Ying Feichen.
This business is 80% dangerous and unpredictable, and life and death are difficult to predict.
Ying Feichen smiled and said, "I'll just tell you, wait for me to come back, and I'll tell you about my idea for my new painting book. When I make money, I'll buy all the streets in the capital for you."
, don’t you like the plum blossom tree in my academy? I transplanted that plum blossom tree from a very far away place. When I get back, I will take you to dig it up and plant it all back.”
"Okay, don't be so talkative, and don't look at how you, the dean of an academy, are not upright. We will discuss this later." Yun Miaomiao took out the things she bought before from the mall and handed them to Ying Feichen.
"This thing can protect you at critical moments."
Yun Miaomiao had bought a gun in the mall before, but it only had three rounds left. Ying Feichen went to Beili in a dangerous situation, and life-saving tools should be used on the edge of the knife.
Ying Feichen took it and looked up and down at the iron lump in his hand, "What is this thing? Why does it look so weird?"
Yun Miaomiao reached out and took it, "Look carefully, first load the gun like this, buckle the safety~, then aim at the head of the person you want to kill, and press the switch. Even if the opponent is wearing soft gold armor, it can penetrate it.
One hit."
"So powerful!" Ying Feichen immediately sat up straight, "Why don't you keep such a powerful thing for Gu Fengqing?"
Yun Miaomiao shook his head, "He doesn't need this thing because I'm here, but it can only be used three times. You save it for critical times. This thing is just like your bow and arrow, but it has a long range, is powerful and is effortless.
, convenient for you to carry with you."
When Ying Feichen heard that it could only be used three times, he gave up the idea of trying it and carefully put it in his arms.
"Thank you!" He looked at Yun Miaomiao sincerely.
Yun Miaomiao waved her hand, "No, you are just thanking me for coming back alive, so get out of here."
Ying Feichen pressed his molars, and then laughed, "What a vulgar woman. I don't know how Gu Fengqing and my eldest nephew fell in love with you."
Yun Miaomiao threw away the pen in his hand and said, "Get out!"
Ying Feichen caught the pen and walked out with a smile, "Yun Miaomiao, if you and I hadn't met at the wrong time, I would have been the one to marry you."
Yun Miaomiao's expression was suffocated. Watching his handsome back gradually disappear from sight, her heart was filled with waves.
When did this happen.
she does not know!
When did Ying Feichen have such a thought? It was secret and no one knew, but now he said it outright. It would be dangerous to go to Bei Lie.
Yun Miaomiao realized something was wrong and immediately stood up to chase after him until he left the government office. Ying Feichen was nowhere to be seen outside.
Damn it, Ying Feichen probably went there with a death wish.
