Because the South End fought a beautiful turnaround and boosted the morale of the army, Chu Yunning also started preparing a sumptuous meal as agreed.
"Chu Shanggong, this battle is so exciting." Vice General Li followed Chu Yunning happily, not forgetting to talk about the details of the battle, and occasionally gave her the first handful of firewood.
Very discerning.
Chu Yunning recalled that when he first met Vice General Li, he had a fierce look on his face and looked down on women at all.
But now Vice Admiral Li admires her very much.
"Chu Shanggong, you don't know that the Dongling gang is completely helpless, with countless casualties..."
Chu Yunning had listened to Lieutenant General Li's repeated words countless times, and patiently put the chopped fish into the pot while ordering others to cut the side dishes.
"Chu Shang Palace..."
"Chu Shang Palace..."
Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched. She had never felt that a grown man was so noisy and chattering endlessly.
"Vice General Li!" Eunuch Mo suddenly appeared, staring at Deputy General Li with a half-smile but not a smile, and pulled him over: "I heard that Deputy General Li was very brave and good at fighting today and killed hundreds of people."
Vice General Li smiled and nodded to express his acquiescence.
"How can you have the nerve to get close to Chu Shanggong when you are so full of murder? Please stay away."
Eunuch Mo dragged Lieutenant General Li very hard, forcing a long distance between the two of them.
"I didn't expect Eunuch Mo to be so strong even though he looked so thin." Vice General Li touched the tip of his nose and didn't notice anything was wrong with Eunuch Mo's expression when he looked at him, so he continued to get closer to Chu Yunning.
Eunuch Mo suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He looked up and saw Emperor Mingwen holding Beibei's hand and walking towards him. He looked at Vice General Li with a look of sympathy and a wish-for-good-for-you expression.
Lieutenant General Li didn't realize it at all.
"Mother!" Beibei shouted from afar.
When Chu Yunning saw Bei Bei running towards him, he smiled. Vice General Li turned around and met Emperor Mingwen's eyes as dark as a cold pool. For some reason, Vice General Li was agitated: "I will see the Emperor at the end of the day."
Emperor Mingwen raised his chin lightly: "Vice-General Li is very free?"
Lieutenant General Li was confused by the question. He was not idle. All the brothers who fought yesterday had gone to catch up on their sleep.
He would have to go later. After working hard all day and night, he was already very sleepy.
"Your Majesty, I see that Vice General Li is very idle. He must be helping to burn firewood. There is still a lot of firewood that has not been chopped yet. Why don't you let Vice General Li chop it? I have seen that Vice General Li has natural supernatural powers." Mo.
The compliment from the father-in-law made Lieutenant General Li unable to say anything about his rejection.
After being stunned for a long time, Lieutenant General Li nodded instinctively when he met Emperor Mingwen's unpredictable eyes.
He had just returned from a victorious battle, and the emperor must have been reluctant to chop wood by himself. Just when Lieutenant General Li thought Emperor Mingwen was going to reward him.
Emperor Mingwen lifted his thin lips lightly and spit out one word: "Accurate!"
"Your Majesty?" Lieutenant General Li was shocked and looked at the firewood stacked high next to him. These firewood could not be chopped in a day. How could the Emperor be so cruel?
"Vice-General Li, why don't you obey the order quickly?" Eunuch Mo urged, secretly thinking that Vice-General Li is such an idiot. If he doesn't understand, the emperor will be angry and he will do more than just chop firewood.
Lieutenant General Li half-heartedly picked up the ax and went to chop wood.
Beibei on the side gave Vice General Li a naughty smile and snorted "You idiot!"
"Are you tired?" Emperor Mingwen approached Chu Yunning and took the big shovel from her hand.
It is not easy to make meals for hundreds of mouths at once. Chu Yunning shook his head: "Fortunately, the emperor may not be able to do this because he is so rich and noble..."
"There is always a process of getting used to it, and you will get used to it gradually in the future." Emperor Mingwen said without blushing or heartbeat.
Chu Yunning was surprised, why did this sound so awkward?
"Yesterday, you defeated Dongling's spirit and relieved our bad mood. You did a great job!" Emperor Mingwen thought for a long time and gave her everything he could. He really didn't know what to reward.
"The Emperor works so hard and spares time to teach Bei Bei every day. Bei Bei is so honored to be taught by the Emperor!"
Mentioning this, the smile on Emperor Mingwen's face became a little unnatural. He looked away and looked at the innocent Beibei. After being taught by him for more than a month, he became mature and steady, and could understand some profound things.
two.
According to this level, it is estimated that we can start experiments in about a year.
Of course, Emperor Mingwen would not say this, but changed the topic to another topic: "Why haven't you made this dish before?"
The boiled fish is stewed in the big pot, spicy and fragrant. A thin layer of fish fillets is placed in the bright red and hot hot oil, and a layer of bean sprouts is placed on the bottom. It makes you appetizing.
"This is called boiled fish, which is similar to pickled fish." Chu Yunning handled hundreds of fish in the afternoon. Now his shoulders are sore and astringent, but as soon as he thought about winning the battle, his fatigue was relieved.
A lot.
Emperor Mingwen nodded, seeing that she was tired and a little distressed, and wanted to share more of Chu Yunning's burden.
After finishing handling the fish, Emperor Mingwen immediately asked Chu Yunning to rest, and left all the rest to the soldiers, while Chu Yunning only had to talk at the side.
"Uncle Huang, why is my mother so tired?" Beibei raised his head with a look of displeasure.
Emperor Mingwen looked back at Chu Yunning and saw that she was far away, so he lowered his head and said to Beibei: "Your mother is protecting the country for some people. One day in the future, when someone comes to power, she will
There is no need to be frightened."
"Who are some of these people?" Beibei asked with a confused look on his face as he didn't quite understand. Emperor Mingwen smiled and said nothing.
An hour later, all the dishes were ready, including three roasted whole lambs, fifteen chickens stewed with mushrooms, three duck soups, three large pots stewed with haggis soup, and five large pots stewed with tomatoes.
Beef soup, boiled fish in more than a dozen pots, and a dozen large pots of hot pot on the side. Next to it are freshly cut beef and mutton, as well as side dishes.
From a distance, it looks like a long street filled with sumptuous food.
Emperor Mingwen turned his head and glanced at Chu Yunning. He served a bowl of tomato and beef soup from the side and handed it to her: "After you finish eating, go back and take a nap. Don't worry about anything."
Unable to resist Emperor Mingwen's words, Chu Yunning had no choice but to take the beef soup. After drinking it, the sweet and sour soup made her whole body feel much warmer.
Emperor Mingwen also didn't forget to serve Beibei a bowl. Beibei smiled brightly at Emperor Mingwen: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
After the mother and son had eaten and drank enough, Emperor Mingwen began to drive people away: "Let's all go and have a rest. It's cold outside."
So Chu Yunning had no choice but to lead Beibei back to the camp. Before leaving, he glanced at Lieutenant General Li who was chopping firewood and expressed his deep sympathy.
"Mom, when are you going to have sex with me during the war?" Beibei asked, raising his head.
Chu Yunning frowned and explained patiently: "You are too young now. When you grow up, if you want to join the military camp, my mother will not refute you."
Beibei raised his eyebrows: "Okay, mother, you must keep your word."
Maybe he was too tired. After Chu Yunning coaxed Beibei to rest, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
I slept until noon the next day. When I opened my eyes in a hazy state, I heard Bixiu flicking the charcoal in the stove: "This year it seems to be colder than in previous years."
This was not the first time he heard this. Chu Yunning took off the quilt and put on thick clothes. After going out, it was still freezing outside and the cold wind was biting.
At this time, Deputy General Li walked past her. Chu Yunning had just said hello. After hearing the voice, Deputy General Li left without looking back, for fear of being chased away.
"I don't eat people, so I can do whatever I want." Chu Yunning snorted and turned to Eunuch Mo to ask how the preparations for this year's winter clothes were going.
"Don't worry, Chu Shang Palace. We have prepared twice as much as in previous years." Eunuch Mo said, with a cloud of mist coming out of his mouth from time to time. Upon seeing this, Chu Yunning immediately said: "It's not enough. Send someone to prepare more."
"
Eunuch Mo hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of Chu Yunning's ability, he sent people to prepare without hesitation, and said: "One more thing, there was news from Nanyang just now, Xihai really sent troops to attack Nanyang
.”
…
Nanyang
Princess Yu'an and her people braved the wind and snow to arrive in Nanyang, and almost encountered an avalanche on the way.
Just when she stopped to take a breath, she heard the news that Xihai was coming to attack Nanyang. Princess Yu'an's expression changed immediately.
"Why are you so unlucky? Who spread the news?"
Li Mingyu comforted him: "The most important thing now is to find out the specific location of the gold mine from the deposed prince. How much can be mined. Nanyang has only 50,000 troops. It may not be an opponent of Xihai. It is not worth losing one's life in Nanyang."
.”
Princess Yu'an nodded when she heard this, so she had the deposed prince brought up. Along the way, the deposed prince had two meals a day to ensure that he would not die of hunger or cold, but was thrown to the ground mercilessly by the guards.
The deposed prince was swearing, his clothes were in tatters, not to mention his expression.
As soon as she got closer, the sour stench all over her body was indescribable. Princess Yu'an resisted vomiting. It was hard to imagine that the person in front of her was the previously aloof Crown Prince!
"Royal sister, how can you forgive Gu?" The deposed prince sat on the ground, not caring about his image.
The torture during this period of time almost made him worse than death, but he really couldn't bear to die.
"Brother Imperial, it's not what I want, but the mistake you made is so big that I really can't protect you." Princess Yu'an took a deep breath and said, "As long as you tell me the location of the gold mine, I can
If you plead with your father for mercy, you can atone for your sins, and maybe one day you can become a prince again."
The deposed prince's words were almost worn out: "Gu Zhen doesn't know any gold mines in Nanyang. It's all Chu Yunning's trick. How can you just believe it?"
He didn't know how many times he explained it along the way, but unfortunately Princess Yu'an just didn't listen.
"Then why is there one hundred thousand taels of gold hidden under the ruined temple? Where did the gold come from?" Princess Yu'an asked with a cold face.
Mentioning this, the deposed prince felt a ball of anger in his heart: "That is Gu's only remaining property. Even if you kill Gu, there will be no gold mine."
Seeing that nothing could be said, Princess Yu'an changed her expression and waved her hand: "Drag the person out, hang him up, and put him down when he says it."
It was freezing cold outside, and the deposed prince couldn't hold on for more than a few hours. Princess Yu'an was so cruel that she wanted to teach him a lesson.
For her, death is death.
Save her a lot of trouble.
The deposed prince was hung up, cursing, and his voice gradually became smaller and smaller, leaving only the ups and downs of his breathing.
Princess Yu'an raised the curtain and watched this scene, feeling very happy. However, Li Mingyu said: "I think the prince may really be unaware. Let him go and be stupid so that he can explain to the queen when he goes back.
Otherwise, the queen will be angry with you if she cannot see anyone. As for how to explain to the emperor, it is not our business."
Hearing this, Princess Yu'an accepted this opinion and asked someone to put down the deposed prince, and then ordered someone to give the deposed prince a bowl of medicine.
After a while, the deposed prince fell asleep. Princess Yu'an looked disgusted and disgusted, and called several guards to take the deposed prince back to Yunlan Capital overnight.
"Princess, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave as soon as possible." Li Mingyu always felt that Nanyang would be captured sooner or later.
Princess Yu'an was very unwilling. She was either tricked by the deposed prince or Chu Yunning.
"That's unreasonable!"
"Princess, please don't be angry. We have a long time ahead."
Princess Yu'an gritted her teeth: "This is the only way. When one day I take over the power, I will conquer the south end!"
Chu Yunning, who had been talked about several times, was sneezing non-stop. Beibei stepped forward and asked, "Mother, are you catching a cold?"
Chu Yunning rubbed her hot ears: "No, mother is thinking about someone, that's why she sneezes. Don't worry, it's okay."
Emperor Mingwen, who was on the side, was dealing with official documents. He noticed her just now when he heard her rubbing her nose. He poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Drink a cup of tea first."
Chu Yunning took it and thanked her. After drinking more than half the cup, she felt much better indeed. She looked at the sky outside again. Emperor Mingwen guessed what she was going to ask, so he said: "The West Sea has not reached the foot of Nanyang City yet.
With 200,000 elite soldiers there, Nanyang City is bound to be captured, and your 50,000 taels of gold were not wasted."
At the end, Emperor Mingwen added: "When I return to the palace, I will double the compensation to you."
Hearing this, Chu Yunning smiled widely.
"Sure enough, he is a money addict!" Emperor Mingwen shook his head helplessly, and Chu Yunning asked with a smile: "Then what's going on in Dongling?"
"Donngling?" Emperor Mingwen raised his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, wait until the West Sea swallows up Nanyang City."
Seeing this familiar smile, Chu Yunning knew that he was bound to win!
"Mom, when are you going to give me a little sister?" Beibei pouted: "I am the only child in the military camp. It's so boring. I have prepared a greeting gift for my sister."
Beibei took Chu Yunning's arm and acted coquettishly.
Chu Yunning's face turned red. Why did this child bring up this problem again? Emperor Mingwen on the side covered his face and smiled: "Beibei is right. You are still young, so you can't stop looking for her for the rest of your life, right?
