Chapter 50 With her here, this battle will not be lost
Qin Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Knowing that these people with unknown origins may be spies from other countries, she must have a keen mind and not miss the slightest detail. The slightest flaw in her answer will arouse the other party's suspicion.
Qin Yue didn't show anything on her face, but she was thinking quickly in her heart.
Seeing this man staring at her face intently, she suddenly sighed, silently knelt down and dug at the ground.
Mr. Hu was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then asked: "Is there any difficulty, little lady?"
Qin Yue sighed again, "Sir, you don't know. My husband used to make a living by selling calligraphy. When he came back from town last year, he accidentally fell from the mountain. He was lucky enough to save his life, but he could only be bedridden for life. We outsiders had no land or land.
My family has a small financial background, and I have been eating for more than half a year, already..."
When she said this, her voice became more and more dull, and she seemed to be a little more swallowed, "We are really forced to have no choice. I am a woman, how can I make a living, and there are four children at home..."
Mr. Hu probably didn't expect that his family would be so miserable, especially when he heard the word "migrant", he somewhat understood.
This phenomenon is very common, not just in Daxia, but most of the countries where this phenomenon exists are small countries.
"Then why don't you wait? You've wasted all your time." Hu asked.
Qin Yue raised her head and showed a bitter smile, "Li Zheng said, this is what the official meant."
She directly passed the blame to the government. If other countries were careful, they couldn't go to the government. Wouldn't that be throwing themselves into a trap?
Hu nodded in understanding. In fact, when she said that she was a migrant, her doubts were basically dispelled.
These days, it is very easy to embarrass a commoner, let alone a helpless duckweed like her.
The so-called migrant households usually come here to escape famine and have no foundation for a long time. It is for this reason that even if they fall in other villages, they will be ostracized and targeted, making life very difficult.
Mr. Hu did not continue to dwell on this issue. He talked briefly and asked if anything strange had happened. Qin Yue thought for a while and said: "Recently, there was a muffled thunder in the mountains, but no one dared to check. Is this a big deal?"
Is this a strange thing?"
Instead of letting him wander around the villages, it would be better to lead him into the mountains.
As for gunpowder, there are still traces after a heavy rain. Even if there are traces, they have no way of knowing what they are.
Someone Hu immediately asked about Men Lei, but Qin Yue didn't say much, looking like she didn't know anything.
He decided to ask about Menlei and then went into the mountain to have a look.
After Mr. Hu left, Qin Yue secretly broke into a cold sweat.
Although she has received various anti-reconnaissance and anti-killing trainings, in the final analysis she is just a scientific researcher, and these are only used to strengthen herself and protect herself.
Fortunately, after these trainings, I have a strong psychological quality and will not show any flaws.
Watching Mr. Hu walking around the village and walking into the mountains, it was obvious that the answers he got from the villagers were the same.
Qin Yue did not become careless because of this, but became more cautious.
But this is not the way to go.
Qin Yue herself is not strong enough, nor does she have strong enough backing, so she is hampered in many places.
On the way back, she learned from the conversations of passers-by that there was another war at the border.
The Que Xians are back with a vengeance!
I heard that this time they have a special combat method against strong crossbows.
The lack of information is really distressing. It would be great if there was a live broadcast so that she could see the battle situation in real time.
Since she had the idea of cooperating with the Blood Wolf Battalion, she naturally hoped that the Blood Wolf Battalion could win.
This time the border war is very fierce. What is different from the past is that many countries are paying attention to this border war.
Suddenly Daxia became a popular word, which the Emperor of Daxia did not expect.
In the palace.
"Is there such a person?" Emperor Zhengde, who was just fifty years old, asked in a deep voice.
Emperor Zhengde's surname was Song, and Daxia was now under the Song family.
"Your Majesty, we have sent people to investigate. The possibility of this person's existence is relatively small. After all, the Blood Wolf Camp has promoted it with such great fanfare. If there is such a person, they will definitely hide it and will not announce it to the world."
"Who made the weapon? Find out for me. The method of making the weapon hasn't been sent over yet!"
"It has been eight hundred miles on the road. According to the news, it was probably made by the joint efforts of all the craftsmen. The Blood Wolf Camp has not yet responded to this."
The last time the Blood Wolf Battalion achieved great success, Emperor Zhengde only gave some insignificant rewards. Obviously, he was not happy in his heart.
When the border was tight, Zhengde placed the Blood Wolf Camp there just to consume them, and he didn't feel bad no matter how many people died.
Because the Blood Wolf Battalion will definitely be eliminated in the future, and they have achieved military merit, so how can he have any reason to eliminate them.
Now that a powerful weapon like the crossbow was born in the hands of the Blood Wolf Camp, he had not been able to get it for several months, and one can imagine the anxiety and irritation in his heart.
If the Blood Wolf Battalion hadn't been promoting the power of this 'master warlock', he would definitely try every means to snatch people away and control them in his own hands. If he couldn't control them, he would kill them. He would never fall into their hands.
Zhengde's throne has not yet been firmly established, and there are many hidden dangers and troublesome things in the capital itself, so he cannot focus all his energy on it.
The Blood Wolf Camp was aware of this, and knew that the ambitious emperor could not care about them, so they did this. If he really wanted to investigate, Qin Yue's affairs could not be hidden.
Zhengde knew that it would happen sooner or later, and he only hoped that they would be ready on this day.
Xia Qiyuan scratched the back of his head and asked in a low voice, "What are our plans in the future?"
Although I am not convinced that Xue Yunzong is Zuo Duwei, this guy is really smart and I still have to listen to him in this regard.
But Xue Yunzong, who had always been smart, remained silent.
They were originally affiliated with Nine Thousand Years Old, but now that Nine Thousand Years Old has died, and the royal family with the surname Lu has been extinct, he is also confused as to where the Blood Wolf Camp should go.
Is it possible that I really want to occupy a mountaintop and become a bandit in the future?
His dignity didn't want him to do this, but with so many brothers, are they waiting to be slaughtered in the future?
They are only loyal to the royal family surnamed Lu!
The reason why they have not left yet and come here to guard the border is that they have heard that there are still royal children surviving. Even if they don't know whether it is true or not, they want to find out and live up to the kindness that Nine Thousand Years Old had shown them.
Thinking of nine thousand years old, Xia Qiyuan became listless.
He was just a walking warrior. Because of his immense strength, he was discovered by the wandering Nine Thousand Years Old and brought back to the palace, whereupon he became today's Right Commander Xia Qiyuan.
If he hadn't been nine thousand years old, he probably wouldn't have known where he would die.
"If you are still alive after nine thousand years..." Xia Qiyuan's words stopped suddenly, as if he had said something wrong, and he looked at Xue Yunzong cautiously.
Xue Yunzong had no expression on his face, stood up and left the camp.
When Xia Qiyuan saw this, he stretched out his hand and gave himself a slap in the face.
I was thinking about it in my heart, why did I say it out loud!
There is an unwritten rule in the Blood Wolf Camp. The words "nine thousand years old" cannot be mentioned in front of Xue Yunzong.
"I'm so sorry, everyone..." Xia Qiyuan silently prayed for the soldiers of the Blood Wolf Camp.
Every time Xue Yunzong did this, he would drill the soldiers below him severely, usually for half a month. The soldiers below would complain endlessly, but they would not dare to say a word.
This time because of the border battle, it may not take long, but it will definitely happen.
When Xia Qiyuan was full of guilt, he saw Xue Yunzong returning again.
"Send a copy of the battle situation to Madam Qin." Xue Yunzong said.
Xia Qiyuan frowned subconsciously. Fighting is a man's business. There is no reason to leave the battle situation to a woman. But considering that Qin Yue is different from ordinary women, plus...
"Then I'll go!" Xia Qiyuan said.
Xue Yunzong still didn't know what he wanted to do, so he said angrily: "Your burly figure is too eye-catching, so I sent you as an inconspicuous pawn."
Xia Qiyuan's shoulders slumped. What the hell did those useless firemen cook? That's called food!
Xue Yunzong sent the battle report to Qin Yue, partly because he had promised her originally, partly because he wanted to understand her current situation, and most importantly, because she was the maker of the strong crossbow.
Although he hasn't seen Que Thief's cracking trick yet, he is sure to have a countermeasure. He also wants to hear Qin Yue's opinion to avoid being caught off guard.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what may happen. No one can really predict everything, and it is necessary to refer to multiple sources of information and opinions.
The New Year is approaching, and they hope to win this war before the New Year.
…
Half a month in advance, everyone starts preparing for the New Year.
Some wealthier families take out their unpatched red clothes to dry. There will be a lot of goons selling Chinese New Year food in the village recently, so you can buy some pastries and candied fruits to keep.
Every time at this time, the four little ones would stand on the street and watch every household gather around the vendors to buy delicious food.
Although these candied pastries are very rough and far less delicate than the ones they had before, they have no right to dislike them now.
Although they wanted to eat very much, they did not ask Qin Yue for it. The four little ones knew very well what was going on at home, and they should feel satisfied now that they had enough to eat.
When Qin Yue saw the four little ones running to the street to look at them again, she shook her head secretly. She had seen this kind of candied pastries, which made her lose her appetite.
The food sold by the mercenaries will be much cheaper than in the town, and they mainly target the villagers in each village, so you can't care too much about the taste.
Naturally, she saw that the four little ones were very eager, and she was thinking about buying some ingredients when she went to town again and making them with her own hands.
She remembered that there was some goat milk powder in the space, and she would make some milk dates as snacks.
In my previous life, I bought a lot of things randomly while watching live broadcasts, and some of them were never opened before. Now I am not afraid of waste.
Qin Yue, who was busy at the stove, suddenly heard a series of shouts. She stopped what she was doing and listened.
Lu Yunjing also made the same move as her. He listened for a moment, then smiled bitterly and slowly closed his eyes.
"There is wheat rice. Do you want wheat rice? Does anyone want wheat rice~~"
The shouting had a slight local accent, which made it hard to hear clearly. Many people only listened to it once and didn't care. Qin Yue opened the door curtain and walked out.
At this moment, there was a vendor pushing a cart on the street and shouting hard. There were many people gathered at the other vendors, but he was the only one there.
Occasionally, one of them would look at the things in his car, mutter a few words, and then turn around and leave.
Qin Yue walked out of the fence gate, first went around to other vendors, bought some food, and then went to the vendor selling wheat rice.
"Are you poor?" Qin Yue asked, looking at the things in his car.
When the vendor heard this, he looked up at her, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then he replied nonchalantly: "Yes, how much do you want?"
"Just a little is enough."
Qin Yue took the packaged Chinese herbal medicine from his hand and was about to leave when she glanced at her with a horse face and said, "Hey~ Datian's wife is so rich. She buys grass during the Chinese New Year."
She looked at the four little boys of the candied pastry vendor not far away, and thought to herself that the stepmother is the stepmother, no matter how well she behaves, she is still the stepmother.
Instead of buying these useless straws, it is better to buy some food for the four little cubs, so that they can gain a good reputation in front of so many people.
Qin Yue was neither salty nor bland, "To you, it's just grass, but to me, it's medicine."
Only then did Ma Lianzhang remember that she could still see a doctor, and couldn't help but spit on the ground.
What can I do if I know how to see a doctor? If someone has something wrong and goes to her, she will refuse to go to her. It’s useless if I don’t know how to see a doctor!
The vendor walked around the street a few more times, and when he saw no one was buying, he pushed his cart to a neighboring village.
Qin Yue went directly to the west room, closed the door, opened the small bag, put the Chinese herbal medicine aside, and picked up a piece of paper wrapped inside.
When she unfolded it, a smile appeared on her lips.
It seems that Xue Yunzong has not forgotten his original agreement and really wrote her the battle situation.
That way she wouldn't be blind.
The battle was not intense at first. The opponent did not send out cavalry, nor did they use crossbows. They seemed to be waiting for the final fight.
As for the method of restraint that Que Thief mentioned, the Blood Wolf Camp has not seen it yet. They asked Qin Yue for her opinion, asked about the weakness of the strong crossbow and how to restrain it, and told her that there would be a "merchant" in three days.
'In the past, the code word was 'sauce and vinegar tea'.
After the hidden showdown with Lu Yunjing, she no longer pretended not to be able to write. She immediately took a pen and paper from the east room and wrote down the weaknesses of the strong crossbow, and also wrote several ways to break it.
The so-called breakable method is not absolute. Qin Yue wrote several possible combat methods, all of which are aimed at suppressing the weakness of the strong crossbow in a short time.
She was just doing her own thing and didn't realize that Lu Yunjing was seeing everything she did, but his eyes were full of complexity and a hint of despair.
The letter was quickly passed back, and Xue Yunzong had more views on Qin Yue after reading it.
"If she were a man, how could a village trap her?" Xue Yunzong sighed.
Let alone a village, even the country of Daxia might be small.
From this letter, Xue Yunzong knew that Qin Yue probably knew the art of war and tactics!
According to Que Thief Cavalry, she listed several possibilities.
There are two types that Xue Yunzong thinks are the most suitable. The Que thieves cannot use the terrain to suppress them and are likely to disperse the cavalry into several small groups.
The weakness of the crossbow array is that it is slow to operate, has a long range but a large minimum range, and is prone to a "fire vacuum zone". The cavalry can quickly break through the blockade area and enter the core area by spreading out and attacking!
There is another way, that is, the thief cavalry uses the 'shield formation' to effectively intercept powerful crossbows from a long distance!
"What a wonderful woman... there is a high probability that we will not lose this battle!" Xue Yunzong said excitedly.
