531-540
After the dog emperor confiscated my property, I emptied the entire treasury
Chapter 531 You choose one yourself.
In the past few days after Lin Xuezhu left Prince Wenyue and his party, he sorted out the supply lines from the north to the south.
This supply line is the real guarantee that allows the Pingnan Army led by Yuan Xiu to have no worries.
In the past few days, Crown Prince Wenyue, at the request of Mr. Lu and others, pretended to be looking for Lin Xuezhu's whereabouts.
However, the end result is definitely nothing.
After confirming this result, Lu and others showed expressions of despair.
The whole team's momentum was very low.
Crown Prince Wenyue proposed to send them to Yuan Xiu first, and then the Pingnan Army would mobilize troops to find Lin Xuezhu.
Lu and others had no choice but to agree.
Crown Prince Wenyue had a plan in mind, and he really treated Lu and others with some sincerity.
After making the abacus, he took Lu and others and quickly found the location of Pingnan Army.
At this time, the Pingnan Army had just experienced a battle with the pirates of the Southern Region and was in a state of rest.
Everyone looked tired, and even the coach Yuan Xiu was stained.
When Lu and others arrived, Yuan Xiu looked obviously stunned, and then asked, "Aunt, why are you here?"
"Xiu'er, I'm sorry for you." Lu's tears suddenly fell.
Yuan Xiu frowned and asked, "Auntie, what happened?"
Mrs. Lu said sadly, "It's Xuezhu. On the way to the Southern Region with us, Xuezhu was... kidnapped by a group of pirates."
After hearing this, Yuan Xiu's expression suddenly changed.
Prince Wenyue had never seen such a panic look on his uncle's face.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Worried that Mr. Lu would only cry and delay the matter, he quickly helped: "Uncle, I heard that pirates in the Southern Region are the most promiscuous. After so many days, I'm afraid that my aunt..."
"Lu Mo, Huang Hao, take the lead Come to the personal guard and follow me!" Before Prince Wenyue could finish speaking, Yuan Xiuren had already stepped onto his horse.
"Little uncle, I will go with you to rescue my aunt." Prince Wen Yue turned his horse's head and pretended to be concerned.
Yuan Xiu ignored him and rode away.
Prince Wen Yue followed behind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the timing of Lin Xuezhu being kidnapped by pirates was perfect.
At this time, Pingnan's army was short of horses and horses, and Yuan Xiu also took away all his confidants and personal guards. Pingnan's army had no commander and would be in chaos if an unexpected situation happened.
Even if there is no emergency, he can still take part in the crime of leaving the army without permission.
You know, it's a big sin for the coach to leave the team.
When the emperor was very afraid of Yuan Xiu, and Yuan Xiu had committed a serious crime, if anything happened to him, I believe the emperor would be very happy to see it.
When the time comes, Pingnan's army will be leaderless. As the person with the highest status here, he will be able to take over Pingnan's army.
How many lifetimes does it take to get an opportunity like this to gain thousands of troops without spending a single soldier?
Prince Wen Yue thought more and more proudly, and deliberately guided Yuan Xiu in the direction he wanted.
Yuan Xiu was so eager to save people that he didn't care about distinguishing whether what Crown Prince Wenyue said was true or false, and just kept riding forward.
The group soon came to a densely forested valley.
Prince Wenyue said: "Uncle, my aunt was kidnapped here, and they went in this direction."
As he said that, Prince Wenyue pointed to the road deeper into the dense forest.
He also explained: "Those people who cannot see the light will definitely take my aunt to a remote and uninhabited place. We don't want to be left in such a place. We need to search carefully."
"Search!" Yuan Xiu gave an order, and the guards immediately Scattered around looking for people.
Yuan Xiu went straight to the road pointed by Prince Wenyue, clapped his horse anxiously and moved forward.
A quarter of an hour later, there were only two people in the woods, Prince Wenyue and Yuanxiu.
Suddenly, after a rustling of footsteps, more than thirty men in black emerged from the woods.
The men in black were each holding hidden weapons. The green light on the hidden weapons meant that the hidden weapons were quenched with poison.
Yuan Xiu reined in his horse and stared at Prince Wenyue deeply.
Prince Wen Yue smiled and said: "Little uncle, I have always envied my little uncle and my aunt as a couple of gods and gods. Now that my aunt has been kidnapped by pirates for so many days, it must be a disaster. My little uncle loves my aunt dearly, so I still stay with him. Let's go on the road with my aunt. When the time comes, we can be a pair of mandarin ducks clinging to each other on the Huangquan Road."
As he said this, he waved his arm to signal the men in black to use hidden weapons.
He still didn't believe it. No matter how strong his martial arts skills were, he would be greeted with so many hidden weapons. If he scratched him even a little, his throat would be sealed with blood.
Not to mention that none of his personal guards were present. Even the secret guards who were ambushing him in the dark had no time to rescue him at this moment.
"Goodbye, little uncle." Prince Wenyue smiled proudly.
But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
As imagined, the scene where Yuan Xiu was injured by a hidden weapon and his throat was sealed with blood did not happen.
Instead, with his order, the whole place fell into a dead silence.
Not a single hidden weapon hit Yuan Xiu.
Prince Wen Yue felt bad and quickly looked around, only to find more than thirty men in black, all looking at him stupidly, with nothing in their hands.
Where's the hidden weapon?
Prince Wenyue was completely confused.
Yuan Xiu smiled slightly and waved his hand towards the void.
In the woods, arrows shot through the air and instantly shot through more than thirty men in black.
Prince Wenyue watched helplessly as he lost miserably in a sure-win situation, but he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.
He wanted to find someone to find out. He wanted to ask his stupid men, where did they get the hidden weapons?
But now he is alone, and no one can answer him.
Prince Wenyue was completely panicked.
How did Yuan Xiu find out about what he thought was a meticulous arrangement?
Could it be that there was a spy in his team?
Prince Wenyue's eyes were wandering, and his mind was running rapidly, eliminating possible loopholes in every link.
But he still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him.
Prince Wen Yue turned around in panic and saw Lin Xuezhu sitting on a horse with a smile, walking towards him step by step.
"Madam!" When Yuan Xiu saw Lin Xuezhu, he barely restrained his excitement in order to appear calmer.
Lin Xuezhu smiled and greeted Yuan Xiu.
Then, he looked at Prince Wenyue and said, "Are you curious as to why your carefully planned plan was wasted like this?"
Prince Wenyue's eyes were filled with shock and fear, and he looked at Lin Xuezhu at a loss.
Lin Xuezhu's lips raised a playful smile and said, "Well, I'll give you two choices. First, I'll tell you the truth, but the consequence is that I have to kill you to silence you. Second, you don't have to know anything. , but to be sure, I have to chop off your hands and tongue, and you can still live. How about you choose one yourself? "
Chapter 532: Husband, this is your son,
Crown Prince Wenyue was dumbfounded.
Although Tu Qiong saw it, he wanted to kill Yuan Xiu first.
Just kill, he never thought that there are so many tricks to kill people.
He was given two choices, one was death, the other was life worse than death. How did he choose?
Just when he was hesitating, Lin Xuezhu asked Yuan Xiu: "Husband, if I kill him, will it be okay?"
"It doesn't matter, he was the one who misbehaved with me first, and I have nothing wrong with him." Yuan Xiu replied calmly.
Prince Wenyue became a little anxious when he heard this.
The couple didn't even want to give him a chance to choose, and were going to kill him directly.
Of course he can't die.
If he died, wouldn't all his plans and ideals be in vain?
Lin Xuezhu stared at Crown Prince Wenyue and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you another choice. If you can reveal the person behind you, I will let you live."
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Wenyue immediately A glimmer of hope was rekindled.
He quickly said: "Uncle Huang asked me to do this. He wanted to kill uncle."
Uncle Huang and uncle had a long-standing grudge. Uncle Huang would kill uncle sooner or later.
If he puts all the blame on Uncle Huang, the younger uncle will definitely believe it.
As long as he is given a chance to survive this crisis, he can plan again.
Next time, he must be more careful and not give his uncle a chance to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lin Xuezhu smiled sarcastically.
"Isn't it known to the whole world that you said this? If I want to ask you this, why should I spare your life? Prince Wenyue, you are not very smart. How did you plan to put my husband to death? ?"
Prince Wenyue was confused for a moment.
She wasn't asking about Uncle Huang, then who was she asking about?
Seeing the puzzled look on Prince Wen Yue's face, Lin Xuezhu said: "I'm asking King Qi, do you have the support of King Qi for what you are doing? King Qi has been quiet these years, is he also plotting for the throne?"
Wen Yue The prince shivered all over.
His father?
The person his aunt suspected was his father?
How could that mediocre person have such lofty ideals!
Prince Wenyue was disdainful.
If his father hadn't been useless, how could he have no resources and could only achieve his goal through conspiracy and calculation!
His father is a drag.
But...
Prince Wen Yue's eyebrows skipped a beat.
My aunt said that if she revealed the mastermind behind it, she could let him go.
If he says that his father also supports him, will his aunt's anger be turned against his father?
Prince Wenyue made an instant decision.
His father has troubled him all his life, and his only role now is to block this disaster for him.
As a parent, you naturally have to sacrifice for your children...
Prince Wen Yue thought so and said, "My father naturally knows what I am doing. Although he has no chance himself, he is willing to create opportunities for me. After all, who would? I will live my whole life as a mediocre person who is ignored and laughed at!"
After he finished speaking, he observed Lin Xuezhu's reaction.
But Lin Xuezhu just stared at him lightly, with no expression on his face.
After a long while, she showed a very sarcastic smile and said: "Thank you very much for telling me this. In order to express my tolerance for you, I will also give you a secret."
After saying that, she raised her hand and moved forward. wave.
Before Crown Prince Wenyue could react, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a hidden weapon.
He turned his head and looked at the green-lighting hidden weapon on his shoulder, somewhat in disbelief.
It looked so familiar, it seemed...
He didn't have time to think about it, he only felt his throat tightening, and a feeling of suffocation came up.
Why?
Why did the hidden weapon that should have been on Yuan Xiu fall into Lin Xuezhu's hands?
He clearly saw just now that the men in black under him each had hidden weapons in their hands.
Just for a moment, what happened?
His eyes looked at Lin Xuezhu solemnly, as if he understood something.
This woman has witchcraft and can collect other people's things.
No wonder the treasury was stolen overnight.
No wonder, the houses of many dignitaries in Beijing were evacuated inexplicably.
No wonder King Yan was bitten by a group of dogs that suddenly appeared...
Everything was because the woman in front of him had evil magic.
Prince Wenyue opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
The moment he fell, he used all his strength to point his right index finger at Lin Xuezhu.
Then, blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his pupils gradually lost their luster.
In front of and behind Crown Prince Wenyue, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu were standing on horseback.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, got off their horses at the same time, walked around Prince Wenyue, and ran towards each other.
The moment their bodies collided, Lin Xuezhu let out a muffled cough, and then his upper body quickly bounced away.
Yuan Xiu looked down and saw that she had rushed to his armor.
Maybe she was hurt by the collision, and her expression was a little aggrieved and embarrassed.
Yuan Xiu couldn't help but laugh and retreated slightly.
"Madam, I will take you back to the camp." Yuan Xiu said.
"Wait a minute." Lin Xuezhu reached out to stop him, "I still have someone to pick up."
"Huh?" Yuan Xiu was puzzled, "Who else should I pick up?"
Lin Xuezhu smiled without saying a word and pulled Yuan Xiu's arm. A, said: "Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, he got on the horse again and ran back.
Yuan Xiu also followed on horseback.
The two rode one behind the other for a while and saw a small carriage parked on the side of the road.
In front of the carriage, a masked man in black sat quietly.
Seeing Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu, he quickly jumped off the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Master, General."
"It's okay, you can leave." Lin Xuezhu said.
The man in black held his hand again and ran into the woods.
Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain, took out a bundle and brought it to Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu took a quick look and saw that it was a baby that was only a few months old.
He was very surprised and looked at Lin Xuezhu with somewhat puzzled eyes.
Lin Xuezhu said, "Husband, this is your son, the future heir apparent of Prince Xiang's Mansion."
"Huh?" Yuan Xiu was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand something.
How come after half a year of fighting, he suddenly got a son?
It's not that he doesn't believe Lin Xuezhu, it's just that this son came too suddenly.
Seeing his confused and overwhelmed face, Lin Xuezhu explained with a smile: "On the eve of your husband's expedition, I stopped drinking Bizi Soup."
After hearing this, Yuan Xiu's dull look on his face gradually eased and turned into a dull expression. happiness.
He laughed suddenly, and then laughed louder and louder.
After a long while, he looked at Lin Xuezhu with some resentment and said, "Madam, it's hard for you to hide this from your husband."
"I am a person who likes to surprise people." Lin Xuezhu said mischievously.
Yuan Xiu smiled again.
This surprise is really too big.
Yuan Xiu actually has a son!
"Husband, do you want to hug your son?" Lin Xuezhu said, pretending to send the child to Yuan Xiu.
But seeing his hard armor and remembering what she had just experienced, she quickly retracted her arm.
Chapter 533 Whack-a-mole
Yuan Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Xuezhu stretching out and then suddenly retracting his arm.
He helped Lin Xuezhu get on his horse, then sat behind her, gently wrapped his arm around her, and held the reins.
Three people and one horse, Yuan Xiu held Lin Xuezhu, and Lin Xuezhu held his son, and walked slowly towards the camp.
"Cousin." Suddenly, the young man's voice sounded from behind.
Lin Xuezhu turned around and saw Lu Mo's heroic face.
Nearly a year has passed, and the little boy seems to have grown longer.
The life of living in the open air made his face lose its childishness and become more calm and determined.
Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Little cousin, you look more and more like your cousin now."
Lu Mo smiled shyly, with a smile that was both proud and happy.
His cousin has always been his hero.
It was his honor to be somewhat like his cousin.
Lu Mo moved his horse closer to Yuan Xiu's horse and turned to look at Lin Xuezhu.
At this time, he saw the baby in Lin Xuezhu's arms. His whole expression was similar to when Yuan Xiu first met his son.
"Cousin, what is this?" Lu Mo stared at the baby with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your cousin!" Lin Xuezhu smiled.
The expression on Lu Mo's face lit up instantly.
The perseverance and toughness honed on the battlefield instantly turned into tenderness and love.
His eyes were fixed on the baby, and he couldn't help but smile.
"It's beautiful," he said.
Lin Xuezhu smiled.
A boy is a boy.
No matter how hard you go through, your character will never change.
Yuan Xiu glanced at Lu Mo, with a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
He said: "Let them handle Prince Wenyue's body properly and send it to the capital after he is buried."
"My subordinates have already given the order." Lu Mo's face turned serious instantly.
Yuan Xiu added: "I am writing a letter to report to the court. Prince Wenyue's subordinates mutinied and poisoned the prince with hidden weapons. They have all been annihilated by me."
"Yes." Lu Mo responded.
Everyone is dead, and the reason is not whatever they say.
Prince Wenyue had evil intentions and deserved his death.
While the three of them were talking, the soldiers had carefully packed up the body of Crown Prince Wenyue, put it on horseback and sent it to the camp.
After a while, Huang Hao, who was behind, caught up with him.
"General's wife, long time no see." Huang Hao was still the same.
When Lin Xuezhu saw him, he felt familiar and friendly.
This battlefield paved with blood seems less cold and cruel now that we have these acquaintances.
Huang Hao, like Lu Mo, also experienced the process of seeing a baby, being confused and confused, and then being happy and loving.
Several people talked all the way back to the camp.
"Huang Hao, take someone to tidy up my camp and prepare beds for my wife and the young prince." Yuan Xiu ordered.
"How about you find a place for me next to your camp." Lin Xuezhu said, "That way it will be more convenient for you to discuss military aircraft, and it will not easily disturb me and the children."
"Okay." Yuan Xiu nodded and gave the order again. Said: "Huang Hao, go and do it."
"Yes!" Huang Hao was in a very happy mood when he was doing this.
This is no better than fighting.
Although he was a rough man, he slept in the open air or even in the ice and snow during the war.
But he still tried his best to make Lin Xuezhu's tent more comfortable.
To this end, he collected almost all the talents in the army, wishing they could all be spread on Lin Xuezhu's bed alone.
Looking at his busy back, the soldiers in the army all made fun of him.
"Old Huang, what's the matter? You don't want to fight anymore and you have to do internal affairs, right?"
"With your current ability, you won't need a sister-in-law anymore. You can do it at home and outside."
"Hahahahaha..."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Huang Hao was not as polite to these soldiers as he was to Lin Xuezhu. He scolded them directly: "Go away, you all are so talkative. When I see the general's wife later, I guarantee that you will all look like hairless roosters."
Speaking of Lin Xuezhu . , but no one dared to take over.
Needless to say, those who knew Lin Xuezhu in the Pingnan Army, and those who did not know Lin Xuezhu, had more or less heard of her deeds.
The person their general loved and respected was also the person they trusted.
At this time, Lin Xuezhu was in Yuan Xiu's camp.
In order to hold his son, Yuan Xiu took off his military uniform and put on regular clothes.
Finally, he hugged the son he longed for, and his entire face had a look that had been transformed into a cute one.
The couple played with the baby for a while. The baby got tired and fell asleep in Yuan Xiu's arms.
Yuan Xiu whispered to Lin Xuezhu: "Madam, why did you run away from the capital?"
Lin Xuezhu planned how to send the Queen Mother and Prince Yan back to the west, and how to use Wenzhong Hou's tricks to bring down the Wenzhong Hou Mansion. , and then how to make the dog emperor inhumane.
I told Yuan Xiu about everything.
Yuan Xiu was stunned when he heard this.
In less than a year, Madam has done so many things in the capital?
Then, Lin Xuezhu also talked about opening a shop by himself to sell glass products and flower and fruit tea.
Yuan Xiu: While dealing with those people, Madam also opened a business?
Why do I feel that in less than a year, my wife has been busier than me, a war fighter!
After thinking about it, Yuan Xiu felt that this was nothing surprising.
His wife could do it.
"Husband, how are you doing here?" After Lin Xuezhu explained his situation, he began to ask about Yuan Xiu's situation.
Yuan Xiu glanced at her with pity and said: "The situation is not very optimistic. The pirates are very cunning. After suffering two defeats under my men, they hid in the sea and refused to show up again. Taking advantage of this advantage, they would breed from time to time. They harassed the people along the coast, but when I sent troops, they retreated. This has been the case for the past few months, which has made the soldiers very tired and consumed a lot of food, grass and supplies. I thought about it. In this situation, if we don't fight at sea, it will be difficult for us to fight against them. But fighting at sea will be a losing outcome for us."
After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Husband, Have you ever played whack-a-mole?
"Whack-a-mole?" Yuan Xiu heard this word for the first time.
Intuitively, he thought he understood the game.
But I felt that his understanding must be wrong.
He must have never seen the strange things in Lin Xuezhu's heart.
Seeing the meaning in Yuan Xiu's eyes, Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "For example, there are nine pits on a piece of land, and moles can get out of any pit. You hold a hammer in your hand, waiting to hit the moles, How can we get there?"
Yuan Xiu thought about it and felt that this was his current situation.
He thought again about how to catch rabbits in the wild.
In the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, all the cave entrances should be blocked, leaving only two cave entrances. Then one cave entrance would be lit with fire and smoke filled, and the other cave entrance would be waiting for harvest.
Chapter 534: One pregnancy and three years
Yuan Xiu carefully thought about what Lin Xuezhu said and felt very inspired.
But in actual implementation, the situation seems to be different.
Whether it's a rabbit or a gopher, their holes can be blocked.
But the coastline is so long, how can he block it?
Lin Xuezhu smiled after hearing Yuan Xiu's question.
"Men, there is a difference between the coastline and the cave, but we have to open up our minds. For example, we can make certain areas unsuitable for them to land, or we can throw bait in certain areas to lure them to land. The gunpowder you brought here "Why is it so late?"
Yuan Xiu replied: "The pirates are everywhere. I fought with them twice, and they sent out part of their troops. I was afraid that taking out the gunpowder too early would put them on guard. I have been waiting for an opportunity. , give them a fatal blow."
Lin Xuezhu could completely understand this.
As the commander of an army, of course he hopes to defeat the enemy in one battle.
Yuan Xiu's thinking was correct. Gunpowder was their secret weapon and should be used in key places.
Lin Xuezhu stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice.
Looking at her look, Yuan Xiu knew that she was thinking of a solution again in her little head.
So I carefully held the baby and didn't disturb her.
"General's wife, the tent is ready." At this moment, Huang Hao's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Yuan Xiu almost threw his sword.
Lin Xuezhu turned around and said to Yuan Xiu: "Sir, let me take a look at the map of the Southern Territory."
"In the mezzanine under the bookcase." Yuan Xiu indicated with his eyes.
Lin Xuezhu took out the map from the mezzanine.
At this time, Huang Hao's voice sounded again, "General's wife, the tent is ready."
"I understand, you can go down." Yuan Xiu was really convinced by this old man.
"Hey, Madam General, if you need anything, just tell me." Huang Hao ordered before leaving.
That attentive and motherly tone was really different from his usual self.
Lin Xuezhu glanced at the map, suddenly raised his head, and asked Yuan Xiu, "Where are Aunt and Aunt Hong?"
"I sent them to the rear. Although it is safe here, a fight may start at any time." Yuan Xiu replied.
Lin Xuezhu nodded, then she felt relieved.
"Husband, come here." She waved.
Yuan Xiu held the baby in his arms and walked smoothly to Lin Xuezhu.
Lin Xuezhu pointed to a mountain range in the eastern part of the South Territory and said, "Husband, look here, there is an iron mine."
"Huh?" Yuan Xiu didn't quite understand.
He looked at the place Lin Xuezhu pointed at and tried to recall it, thinking that there was no iron ore there.
Lin Xuezhu said: "I said if there is an iron mine, there can be one. Husband, don't you remember, I once evacuated an iron mine under the supervision of King Yan. So, we can let there be an iron mine here."
Yuan Xiu seemed to Understand Lin Xuezhu's intention.
The pirates in the Southern Region come from an isolated island in the sea.
It is said that the people on the island cannot develop in any walks of life except fishing.
Without him, it's just because of lack of resources and inconvenient transportation.
It is said that the weapons used by pirates were all obtained through plunder.
Some even robbed the farm tools of the residents of the Southern Territory and then transformed them into them.
Such a country that lacks resources and is extremely aggressive is bound to be very interested in an iron mine.
Lin Xuezhu said: "Let's place the iron ore in this mountain, pretend to be discovered, spread it, and let the pirates know. They may take risks for the iron ore. This is the thick smoke that makes them definitely land here. "Madam is really smart, "
Yuan Xiu said with a smile.
"Of course." Lin Xuezhu said, "However, I'm not sure whether this temptation is 100% sure to make them fall for it. This requires us to increase the temptation."
"How to do it?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Lin Xuezhu smiled slyly and said, "Then I might have to aggrieve my husband."
Yuan Xiu was puzzled.
But seeing that Lin Xuezhu didn't want to explain, he stopped asking.
He understood what the lady meant.
The first step in taking action is to spread the word about the discovery of iron ore.
By then, the remaining spies of the pirates lurking in the southern region will definitely find a way to spread this matter to the ears of their countrymen.
Then the first step of this plan is completed.
As for the rest...just wait for Madam to make arrangements.
Yuan Xiu didn't know why, but when he saw Lin Xuezhu's face, he became lazy.
In his wife's words in the past, she just wanted to lie down, have quiet time, and have a warm bed with his wife and children.
He knew his idea was wrong, but couldn't he enjoy a moment of warmth in this situation?
"Madam, let's send the child to our aunt." Yuan Xiu suggested: "The rear area is safer than here. With him around, it will be inconvenient for Madam and I."
After hearing what Yuan Xiu said, Lin Xuezhu always felt that he was a little What's up with the pun?
However, what Yuan Xiu said does make sense.
If nothing else, let's just talk about what happens if a war breaks out one day.
Is it possible that this little baby has to drink milk in the midst of swords and swords?
Her son is emotionally stable enough.
He rarely cried or fussed all the way from the capital.
I spend most of my time sleeping and a small amount of my time entertaining myself.
As a mother, she was too embarrassed to let him go through more trials.
Therefore, Lin Xuezhu agreed to Yuan Xiu's proposal almost immediately.
Yuan Xiu immediately organized his manpower and carefully escorted the baby away, and asked the members of the escort team to find a reliable wet nurse for the baby.
After the child left, Lin Xuezhu suddenly felt a little guilty.
She said to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, let's make a quick decision."
There are still many things waiting for them to do.
If the war is over early, the family can be reunited early.
Yuan Xiu nodded solemnly.
Lin Xuezhu seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, my son hasn't been named yet."
Yuan Xiu glanced at her in surprise.
He always felt that meeting his wife this time seemed different from before.
Madam always remembers something suddenly. She would not be like this before.
After listening to Yuan Xiu's cautious inquiry, Lin Xuezhu said that this was normal.
"One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. Husband, thanks to my strong foundation, I can shoulder all the trouble." She said matter-of-factly.
Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's call our son Chongyu, Yuan Chongyu, to commemorate the reunion between you and me..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Xuezhu looking over with sharp eyes.
"What the hell? This is our first son. Can you be more careful about the name?"
Faced with Lin Xuezhu's rage, Yuan Xiu felt a little aggrieved.
His wife used to be the most gentle to him, why is she suddenly so irritable now?
Could it be that this is a three-year pregnancy?
Chapter 535: The only remaining road
Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu took the opportunity to patrol the coast and went to the mountains to the east.
Taking the opportunity, he hid the iron ore in Lin Xuezhu's space into the mountains.
Then, Lin Xuezhu sent someone to send a message to her father, Lin Chengzhang.
Lin Chengzhang is in the Southern Territory Prefecture, investigating cases for Yuan Xiu and handling the general affairs of the Prefecture.
This morning, he had just received Lu and Wei Hong'er who were sent back from the front line, and learned that Lin Xuezhu had also arrived in the Southern Territory.
Moreover, his daughter also brought him a grandson back.
Lin Chengzhang was overjoyed when he saw a man suddenly jump down from the beam.
"Mr. Lin, my subordinate is the princess, and I'm here to bring you news." The man said.
Lin Chengzhang's heart was frightened so much that he was beating fast, but he knew that his daughter had taken over the secret guard of his uncle, and this person was unmistakable.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chengzhang asked.
"Someone has discovered iron ore in Qitan Mountain in the eastern part of the Southern Territory. Please ask Mr. Lin to send someone to explore immediately. Moreover, you must remain calm and let the spies lurking in the prefect's mansion notice this matter." The secret guard said.
When Lin Chengzhang received the news from Yuan Xiu and asked him to come to the Southern Territory Governor's Mansion to take charge of the overall situation, he had discussed with Yuan Xiu to keep a few of the spies who had been hiding deeply and keep a close eye on them.
When necessary, these people can become their pawns.
Now it seems that when my daughter arrived in the Southern Territory, she must have discussed with her uncle a plan to annihilate the enemy.
Lin Chengzhang didn't waste any time, and quickly secretly poked at the organization's men to head east.
The spy sent by the pirates had a very keen sense of smell, and when he saw Lin Chengzhang's secret whereabouts, he became wary.
Lin Chengzhang pretended that he knew nothing, and while mobilizing trustworthy people, he prepared to set off for the Eastern Mountains.
When the spies saw that he was acting more and more carefully, they knew that this was a big deal.
After thinking about it, he decided to give up lurking and get the big news.
So, Lin Chengzhang took the lead and set off, and the spy followed behind.
I saw Lin Chengzhang and his party walking in a hurry, with many unfamiliar faces in the team.
A group of government soldiers guarded a carriage pulling several wooden boxes, looking very vigilant.
The spy felt more and more that the decision he made was the right one.
If you follow these people, you will definitely catch big fish.
A few days later, the group arrived at the Eastern Mountains.
The unfamiliar faces took out the tools from the wooden boxes of the carriage and started heading into the mountains.
They walked and explored.
The spy looked at them as if they were looking for something, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
For three days, Lin Chengzhang and others found nothing.
The spies began to have some doubts. Could this be a scene specially arranged to lure them to show up?
At this time, people in the prefect's mansion must have noticed that he was missing.
what to do?
The spy was a little anxious.
If you reveal your identity and get nothing, you will be dead if you go back.
In the spy's heart, he secretly felt a cold sweat for himself.
He gritted his teeth and decided to continue following.
Another day passed, and finally the good news came.
Those unfamiliar faces turned out to be scholars specializing in exploration.
They discovered iron ore in the eastern mountains!
The spy secretly rejoiced, iron ore was the most scarce resource in his country.
With iron ore, they can make tools and weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved.
At that time, these stupid foreigners will become their captives and slaves.
They will dominate this continent!
The spy became more and more passionate as he thought about it, and he decided to return to his country immediately and report the good news to his king.
He has made a meritorious service!
The spy set off quickly, leaving marks along the way.
Not only that, he also calculated where his country's navy would land in order to successfully find the iron ore.
However, what he didn't know was that behind him, there was a light-footed person following him silently.
Every move of the spy was under the control of Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu.
Next, Lin Chengzhang secretly sent someone to deliver news to them.
Knowing that the matter was of great importance, Yuan Xiu immediately appointed Lu Mo and led a small team to the eastern mountains to protect the iron mines.
Lin Chengzhang returned to the prefect's mansion, preparing to organize manpower to mine iron ore.
The remaining spies in the prefect's mansion also learned about the existence of the iron mine from the news sent back by their partners.
They paid closer attention to Lin Chengzhang and were ready to spread the information they collected at any time.
The hard work paid off, and they finally took advantage of the loophole.
They learned that Yuan Xiu had sent people to protect the iron mines.
So, they planned to spread the news.
After several failures, the news was finally sent away without anyone noticing.
After hearing this, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu looked at each other and smiled.
Very good, the thief took the bait.
Sure enough, a few days later, the western region of the Southern Region ushered in a large-scale pirate invasion.
When Yuan Xiu heard the news, he immediately led his troops to fight.
The army moved westward, leaving a gap in the east.
Just when Yuan Xiu led the army to the western region and started a fierce battle with the pirates.
Hundreds of large pirate ships landed in the eastern region.
The small number of guards left by Yuan Xiu were quickly beaten to pieces and were unable to resist.
Thousands of pirates seemed to be in uninhabited territory, and led by the spy, they followed the mark and advanced to the east.
Arriving at the mine, they saw a spectacular sight they had never seen before.
Under the huge mine, carts of ore were pulled up to the surface by manpower.
Some exposed parts of those ores have a metallic luster.
The pirates' eyes widened.
This much iron ore is enough for them to build many weapons.
With this iron ore, they can do even more.
"Go!" The pirate leader, who had been hiding at sea and never showed up, said in Baga language.
Thousands of red-eyed pirates rushed towards the mine cart.
The miners usually do hard work. They had never seen such a scene, and they were immediately confused.
Some people react quickly and run away.
Some people are slow to react and do not have time to run away. They will inevitably be injured or killed by the pirates' brutal plunder.
Fortunately, the pirates were too eager to steal the iron ore to go on a killing spree.
Just as they were plundering selflessly, loud noises suddenly sounded all around.
They were horrified to find that the mountains around them seemed to be flying.
Huge rocks shot straight into the sky and fell in all directions.
Many people in the pirate team were hit by boulders and died on the spot.
Only then did the big boss realize that they had been fooled.
Everything that happened today was probably the bait to lure them into a trap.
"Remove!" the pirate shouted in Baga language.
The pirates who were still alive hurriedly looked for a way around.
However, the explosion just now had destroyed the mountain roads around them.
The only road left is the one they came from.
Chapter 536: Throwing the man in the face.
The pirate leader discovered that there was another way, and immediately planned to lead his men to rush out through that way.
As long as they get out of this mountain and return to the sea, they can survive.
However, just as they were rushing forward, a heroic young man riding a horse suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
The young man led a group of men, fully armed, blocking their way.
The pirate leader only panicked for a moment and soon smiled.
The traps are all mutual.
The other party can trick them into taking the bait, but doesn't he have any backup plan?
The pirate leader put his thumb and forefinger to his mouth and whistled.
However, after a short while, an army of tens of thousands of pirates appeared behind Lu Mo.
The pirate leader looked at Lu Mo proudly.
He remembered this young boy.
Once, when a small team he sent landed, they were surrounded by troops led by this young man.
At that time, his men died quickly.
He stood on the boat and although he couldn't see clearly, he still remembered the little boy.
Because of his unique temperament, people can recognize him at a glance.
The pirate leader was very happy.
Today, he can let this little boy die here.
Yuan Xiu must be very sad and painful when he loses this right-hand man.
The pirate leader gave an order and planned to eliminate the squad led by Lu Mo by encircling them from behind.
And just when he gave the order, his navy was about to take action.
From behind the large team, a loud voice suddenly came.
The war drums were beating, and King Xiang's banner was unfurled in the wind.
The color on the pirate leader's face instantly disappeared.
What's going on?
Hasn't Yuan Xiu been led to the west by him? How could he appear here?
However, the development of the war situation left him no time to think too much.
He soon discovered that the sergeants closest to the enemy at the end of his tens of thousands of troops were beheaded by Yuan Xiu's army before they had time to react.
The sergeants who were a little far away turned around and responded in fear, but because they were too hasty, they were still killed by Yuan Xiu's army.
Layer after layer, Yuan Xiu's army was like peeling melons and vegetables, killing his navy army to pieces.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the pirate leader.
He knew that he was going to lose, and that he would lose completely.
At this moment, Lu Mo rushed towards him on horseback.
The pirate leader braced himself and prepared to fight.
He wanted to fight, even though he knew it would lead to defeat.
Neon people never give up!
Uh-huh!
Lu Mo was as fast as flying, and with one sweep of his spear, he beheaded the pirate leader off his horse.
The man's head, with a determined face, grunted and rolled several times on the ground.
There is no suspense about what will happen next.
The team led by Lu Mo defeated the iron-stealing team led by the pirate leader.
The army led by Yuan Xiu defeated the pirate navy.
At this time, Lin Xuezhu, who was following Yuan Xiu's army and had fallen behind when they reached the beach, looked at the hundreds of large ships on the sea and swallowed hard.
Come on, come on, the big guy is here, and the little things in her space should move aside.
Yesterday she deliberately rearranged the space.
Behind the treasure building, a spiritual spring water area was opened to prepare the former residence of these pirates.
But when she saw hundreds of large ships, she still felt that she had been careless.
There isn't enough room for people.
So while the army was marching towards the mountains, she improvised and expanded the water area of ââLingquan several times.
Finally, hundreds of large ships were moved in by her.
The sea that was filled with densely packed ships just now and seemed extremely crowded is now endless and vast as far as the eye can see.
Lin Xuezhu was very satisfied.
The sea, it must look like the sea.
What are you doing with so many smoky ships? Isn't it beautiful to be empty?
Hehe, without these ships, the Neon Country on the other side of the sea might not be able to get through for a while, right?
Tens of thousands of sailors were killed and hundreds of ships were damaged. This made things even worse for the already poor Neon Country, right?
That's great, she just likes to make things difficult for her enemies.
After Lin Xuezhu finished all this, he mounted his horse and headed towards the mountains.
There are some explosives hidden in her space, which Yuan Xiu gave her for self-defense.
To put it bluntly, if the dog emperor makes things difficult for her and her life is at stake, there's no need to be polite and she'll blow him up.
Thinking of the look on Yuan Xiu's face when she said this, Lin Xuezhu felt deeply that her husband had been completely led astray by her.
He is an ancient person, but now he speaks modern terms and even Internet terms.
Ha ha.
Lin Xuezhu carried explosives and rode into the mountains on his pony.
After riding for a while, I saw someone fighting in the distance ahead.
The battle was quite fierce. It seemed that two men of small stature had chopped down several people around them. They were extremely brave.
Lin Xuezhu's heart thumped.
According to her stereotype of the Neon people, she thought the two dwarfs must be part of a group of pirates.
The pirates were so ferocious and killed so many of her own soldiers, how could she endure it?
Lin Xuezhu sped up quickly, and as soon as her consciousness came to her mind, she took out a pack of explosives from the space.
Little dwarfs, I'm here to do justice for heaven!
Lin Xuezhu rushed to a place relatively close to the two dwarfs, took out the fire stick and planned to light explosives.
Suddenly, she found that the two dwarfs seemed familiar.
She blinked and looked carefully.
Good guy, aren't these two pillars?
Brothers Wang Tianzhu and Wang Dizhu.
When Yuan Xiu asked people to take the brothers away, Lin Xuezhu didn't know how he was going to arrange the two children.
But she didn't really care.
As they grow older, the violent tendencies of these two children will definitely become more and more obvious.
Taking these two children away from home early would give her a lot of peace of mind.
She never expected that Yuan Xiu would stuff these two children into the army.
Well, now, two naturally violent children, before they have even grown up, are starting to kill everyone.
Looking at the pirates who were bravely killed by the two of them, Lin Xuezhu was filled with emotions.
Just when she was in a complicated mood, Brother Zhu killed three in and three out of the pirate group.
Hey, as expected, there is no such thing as a natural waste, as long as it is used in the right place...
Lin Xuezhu's thoughts went through her head very quickly, but she soon realized that she was about to be on the battlefield.
After a few more steps, her horse would have trampled over the enemy's corpse.
Tsk tsk, it's not clean, back off, back off!
Lin Xuezhu said nothing, turned the horse's head and rode back.
She rode until she was a few hundred meters away from the battlefield, then got off the horse and found a tree to climb up.
As she crawled, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Looking up, I saw someone on the dense branches of the trees, who seemed to be shivering.
What the hell?
Lin Xuezhu took out a fist-sized stone from the space and threw it towards the man's face...
Chapter 537: Winning
. With a strange cry, a man fell from the tree.
Lin Xuezhu also followed him down the tree.
When I got closer and took a look, I understood.
This appearance is undoubtedly Xiao Baga's.
Lin Xuezhu went up and gave him two kicks.
He kicked him in the pit of his heart, and when he was covering his chest, he kicked him again on the bridge of his nose.
"Let you invade, let you kill innocent people indiscriminately, let you be cunning and cunning, let you be unethical!"
Lin Xuezhu couldn't understand his hatred after thinking about it, and kicked him several times.
"Daughter!" A voice sounded from the front.
Lin Xuezhu looked up and saw her father, Lin Chengzhang, leading a group of people in her direction.
"Dad!" Lin Xuezhu was extremely excited and ran towards Lin Chengzhang.
The father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time, so they were very excited.
Especially Lin Chengzhang, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would almost burst into tears.
These days, he followed Yuan Xiu's arrangements, letting people pretend to mine iron ore while burying explosives near the surrounding mountain roads.
Just now, when the pirates came in, he quickly took his people and took a small road to escape.
After running far away, someone detonated the explosives, and then took a detour and ran out of the mountains.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out, I saw my daughter.
Lin Chengzhang was about to ask Lin Xuezhu to say a few words when he suddenly saw a bloody man crawling away behind his daughter.
"Who is it?" Lin Chengzhang asked subconsciously.
Only then did Lin Xuezhu remember that there was Xiao Baga behind her.
So he turned around, took three steps and two steps at a time, walked around in front of the little Baga, and gave him a flying kick, knocking him over.
Lin Chengzhang took a closer look and said, "Hey, isn't this the spy from the Prefect's Mansion? He was the one who ran out of the Prefect's Mansion and followed me all the way to spread the news about the iron mine."
Lin Xuezhu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
The co-author, Xiao Baga, was the one who contributed to today's battle. He was their good helper.
What should I do? I made a heavy move just now and accidentally injured my own chess piece.
Otherwise, based on Xiao Baga's achievements, he would have to die happily!
Lin Xuezhu looked at Xiao Baga with some embarrassment, waved his hand and said: "Someone, help me deal with him, and I will pay ten taels of silver for the removal fee."
What is the removal fee? Lin Chengzhang Those who brought it didn't understand.
But they all heard the number of ten taels of silver.
Is there such a good thing in the world, where you can kill your enemies with your own hands, get rid of the bad breath in your heart, and receive a huge sum of money?
For a time, everyone rushed to Xiao Baga one after another.
None of these people had weapons in their hands, and they couldn't give Xiao Baga a break for a while.
They could only use the weapons they carried, that is, their feet, to greet Xiao Baga with all their strength.
Everyone hopes that the last kick to kill Xiao Baga is theirs.
They really hate it in their hearts.
During this period of pirate invasion, who didn't have a relative who died at the hands of pirates?
Even those who were lucky enough to save their lives, whose home has not been destroyed!
Seeing that the good life that you have worked so hard for has been devastated by a group of shameless people, who can not feel resentful!
When Lin Xuezhu saw this scene, he felt extremely cruel.
She couldn't look directly, so she could only pull Lin Chengzhang and turn around to reminisce about the past.
As for the screams of Xiao Baga behind him, it was used as BGM.
"Princess Xiang, he is dead." Finally, someone shouted.
Lin Xuezhu didn't even look back, and took out a thousand tael of silver note from his arms, stretched it out and said, "Take it, you can share it equally."
These people were a little depressed at first, but Xiao Baga died silently, they It's not even possible to tell who sent him away.
I thought there would be some debate when it came to Princess Xiang.
Unexpectedly, Princess Xiang directly gave each of them a reward.
It's not that they are greedy, it's just that they do need a lot of money to rebuild their home.
Everyone happily thanked Lin Xuezhu.
Lin Xuezhu waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.
These people, following Lin Chengzhang, have suffered a lot these days.
One thousand taels of silver was shared among so many people, so everyone only received a hard-earned fee.
"Daughter, let's wait here for my uncle." After Lin Chengzhang finished caring about his daughter, he started to care about his uncle.
In the mountains, the sound of killing has not stopped yet.
It shows that there is still a fierce battle inside.
Lin Xuezhu nodded, she would naturally wait for her husband.
A fight between tens of thousands of people cannot be described with an understatement of "wait a minute."
Corpses littered the fields, blood flowed into rivers, but they were just two fluttering words.
This was the first time in Lin Xuezhu's life that he saw a real battlefield.
Human beings can no longer be called human beings.
They are no different than livestock.
If you say you are being slaughtered, you will be slaughtered.
A battle, fought from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.
When the morning sun rose, someone came out from behind the mountains.
"Husband!" Lin Xuezhu mounted the horse and rushed towards Yuan Xiu.
Seeing Lin Xuezhu, Yuan Xiu's tired expression showed a hint of joy.
"Madam!" He was about to greet her when he suddenly remembered the hard armor and blood stains on his body and stopped again.
"Husband!" Lin Xuezhu jumped off the horse regardless, ran forward and hugged him tightly.
She didn't think his armor was irritating, nor was she afraid of the dirt on his body.
After fighting for a day and a night, she would only be glad that her husband was still alive.
As the soft body came closer, Yuan Xiu's heart, which was numb and cruel due to the killing, suddenly relaxed.
He seemed to be waking up from a long and exhausting dream.
The person in front of her brought her back to the world full of fireworks.
Yuan Xiu gently stretched out his hand and hugged Lin Xuezhu.
"Husband, did we win?" Lin Xuezhu hugged Yuan Xiu and asked.
"We won." Yuan Xiu replied with a smile.
won.
They wiped out all the pirates' army of tens of thousands, leaving no one behind.
This war is finally over.
The Southern Territory finally ushered in peace.
Yuan Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief.
The officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army stopped silently when they saw such a warm scene between the commander and his wife.
No one made a sound, but they all laughed silently.
Lin Xuezhu was lying on Yuan Xiu's shoulder, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, so she hurriedly opened her eyes and looked forward.
Seeing so many people looking at her with smiles, Lin Xuezhu was shocked and quickly let go of Yuan Xiu.
"What about that, husband? You have been fighting for a day and a night. You should be tired now. Let's go back to the camp quickly and let the soldiers rest." Lin Xuezhu said.
"Okay." Yuan Xiu said, and asked someone to give the order to go back to camp and rest.
Since Yuan Xiu's horse had died in the battle, Lin Xuezhu let him ride his own horse.
And she got on Lin Chengzhang's carriage, and the Pingnan Army marched towards the camp in a mighty manner.
Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain and looked at the slightly thin team behind the carriage. He estimated in his heart that many people from the Pingnan Army would have died in this battle.
Chapter 538: Working hard and getting twice the result with half the effort,
the Confederate army returned to the camp and rested for two hours.
Then, there is the process of counting people and counting casualties.
The soldiers in charge of logistics should go to the battlefield and bring back the bodies of their own soldiers.
Then, officers at all levels are responsible for matching these corpses with the lists one by one.
This process cannot be sloppy and is quite time-consuming.
Yuan Xiu was afraid that Lin Xuezhu would not see this scene, so he planned to ask Lin Chengzhang to take her back to the Southern Territory Governor's Mansion first.
To be honest, Lin Xuezhu really didn't want to see this kind of scene.
After all, she is a modern person and does not have the broad-mindedness of Yuan Xiu who is used to life and death.
However, before leaving, she decided to leave something for Yuan Xiu.
The first was spiritual spring water, which her husband hadn't drank for a long time.
Just after a big battle, it would be great to drink some spiritual spring water to relieve fatigue.
Lin Xuezhu thought so and then put his consciousness into the space.
The intention was to get water, but unexpectedly, I saw a few people walking around in the space.
Lin Xuezhu was shocked, and then realized that these people were probably the pirates who stayed on the ship and were responsible for taking care of them.
I saw those few people strolling arrogantly in the fruit forest.
When he came across a rattan basket full of fruits, he grabbed a handful of fruits from inside and stuffed them into his mouth.
They devoured it so much that it was so juicey that it looked very indecent.
Lin Xuezhu felt that the fruits she had worked so hard to pick were no longer clean.
She quickly regained consciousness and returned to reality, looking at Yuan Xiu with a troubled face.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Xiu's expression became tense.
Lin Xuezhu said with a bitter face: "Husband, I just thought the pirates' ships were good, so I stole them back. Unexpectedly, there are people on these ships wandering around in my space now."
"Huh?" Yuan Xiu I can't believe there is such a ridiculous thing in the world.
Then he asked: "Those people found out that their ship had changed places, and they didn't feel panic?"
Lin Xuezhu shook his head helplessly, "They had a great time eating fruits."
"Shameless!" Yuan Xiu said bitterly.
So, while the soldiers in the military camp were busy counting their numbers, their commander and his wife hurriedly rode out of the camp.
"Hey, the general and his wife haven't seen each other for a long time. They must be missing each other very much."
"That's right, the general and his wife are handsome and handsome. They must be very happy with each other."
As soon as Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu walked away, they walked behind. Some soldiers laughed and joked.
These days, the topic about the general and his wife has been talked about by everyone.
Making a few jokes is also a good way to relieve fatigue.
The more they talked, the happier they became. Suddenly, they saw Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu fighting back.
"General...general..." The soldier who was the last to speak and was talking eloquently now became the most embarrassed one.
Yuan Xiu glanced at him and said nothing. He only shouted to the people behind them: "Lu Mo, come with me."
Lu Mo responded and ran out, riding a horse, following Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu. .
The soldier who had just been caught talking about the general and his wife behind his back, and realized that something was wrong with him, was extremely confused at this time.
The general and his wife were going out for a romantic date, why would they take Lu Mo with them?
Could it be that the general and his wife were not out for romance, but had something to do?
Oh my god, what kind of general and lady are these?
Just after winning a battle, he was busy doing things again.
At this time, Lu Mo, who had already run two miles away, asked Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu with some confusion: "Cousin, cousin, what are we going to do?"
"Find a place where no one can see me. I have something to tell you. " Do it." Yuan Xiu said.
Lu Mo was even more confused. What could he do if he found a place where no one could see him?
However, his cousin's orders were military orders, so Lu Mo stopped asking.
Anyway, we will all know when the time comes.
Naturally, there were reasons for what his cousins ââasked him to do.
Lu Mo followed his kindness and ran to the beach with Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu.
In front of the huge pile of rocks, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu stopped their horses and jumped off their horses.
Lu Mo did the same without hesitation.
Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu took the lead. After searching for a while, they finally found an open space among several large rocks.
Lin Xuezhu walked to the open space and sat down cross-legged.
From the look on her face, she seemed to be trying to do something.
Lu Mo was dumbfounded.
He had never seen such a nagging look on his cousin's face.
At this time, Lin Xuezhu asked: "Are you ready?"
"Okay." Yuan Xiu replied.
Lin Xuezhu glanced at Lu Mo meaningfully, and then with a sudden movement of consciousness, she took both of them into the space.
Yuan Xiu entered the palace for the second time this time, so he didn't panic at all.
But Lu Mo was different. He was almost scared to death.
In front of him, what was originally a rocky beach and Xuezhu forest, why did it suddenly turn into fruit trees, spring water and a pirate ship?
If the little boy hadn't been a experienced man in the battlefield and was a knowledgeable person, he would really be scared and screaming at this moment.
"Cousin, what's going on?" Lu Mo asked nervously.
Yuan Xiu replied: "This is a mysterious skill that your cousin has learned before, and I can't explain it to you. Anyway, I can only tell you about the lost treasury in the capital, the private treasury of various powerful families, and the case files of Dali Temple There are many things that have been lost inexplicably, and they are all here with your cousin."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lu Mo's mouth wide open in silence.
Yuan Xiu stretched out his hand and closed it manually for him.
Then he said: "This matter is confidential. You must not tell anyone else. Apart from your cousin and me, you are the only one who knows about this matter. If this matter spreads, it must be you who said it. Do you remember it? ?"
"Uncle Lin and the others don't know either?" Lu Mo asked in confusion.
Yuan Xiu shook his head.
Lu Mo's thoughts immediately changed from shock, incomprehension and disbelief to joy, interest and deep honor.
There are only three people in the world who know this, and he is one of them.
Seeing the unpredictable expression on the young boy's face, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
"When your cousin took the pirate ship in just now, she didn't realize there were people on board. I brought you in just to let you work with me to find those people. After finding the people, knock them unconscious and tie them up. Get up, don't kill, or you will dirty this place," Yuan Xiu said.
"Understood." Lu Mo said seriously.
Looking at the hundreds of boats, he felt that this was really a big project.
However, his cousin and sister-in-law trust him so much, so he must perform well.
So, as soon as the young boy got up and started working, he decided to start work.
"Wait a minute." Yuan Xiu said, pointing to the spiritual spring on the side, and said to Lu Mo: "Your cousin-in-law specifically asked us to drink some water before working."
These were Lin Xuezhu's exact words.
Drink some water, replenish your energy, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Chapter 539: Someone started to fall out of thin air.
Lu Mo didn't understand at first why his cousin must let him drink water before working.
However, since his cousin said so, it was absolutely right for him to do it.
Lu Mo picked up a handful of water from the spiritual spring and drank it.
The sweetness of the spring water seems a bit familiar.
Speaking of which, on their way to exile, my cousin could always find sweet streams.
Ever since he left the North, he had never drunk such delicious water.
In the past, he thought he was homesick, but now it seemed that he was confused.
"Cousin, this water..." The young boy was confused.
Yuan Xiu nodded, "This water has the effect of strengthening the body. Drinking it is good for body recovery."
"Thank you cousin, thank you cousin." Lu Mo said happily.
"You're welcome." Lin Xuezhu's voice came from above.
Lu Mo was startled and looked up to the sky subconsciously.
I saw a clear sky, and except for the absence of sun and clouds, everything was no different from the outside.
Where is my cousin-in-law?
Lu Mo didn't understand what kind of existence this space was, but he saw people running out of more than a hundred large ships parked in the spring one after another.
Those people looked very panicked, and like Lu Mo, they looked up at the sky.
They soon discovered that the place they were in was no longer the endless sea, but a strange place everywhere.
These people panicked.
Where are their tens of thousands of troops?
Where is their sea?
Didn't he say that he should stay on the ship to wait for news and respond in time?
Where's the news?
At this moment, Xu Shi discovered that his words had such an impact on this space.
Lin Xuezhu's voice sounded from the sky again, much louder.
"You fucking son of bitch, get out from the boat, let my husband and cousin send you to the hell."
Her English is not very good, and she doesn't know if her grammar is wrong.
But at this moment, she just wanted to be a little bit mysterious and scare these dead guys.
This foreign language, which was like a sound coming from outside the world, frightened the Baga people.
However, they still abided by the big leader's order and stayed on the ship, not daring to disobey.
Lin Xuezhu saw that it was useless to talk about birdsong, so she simply started singing.
"The vast horizon is my love, the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains, what kind of rhythm is the most swaying, what kind of singing is the most joyful..."
The strong rhythm and Lin Xuezhu's tone-deaf interpretation not only brought the whole The Baga people were so frightened that even Lu Mo, who had always admired his cousin-in-law, looked at Yuan Xiu with some words.
Yuan Xiu was calm on the surface, but actually he was in a state of turmoil in his heart.
He thought that his wife was a perfect person.
I didn't expect that Madam's singing would be so unpleasant.
Not only is it ugly, it's downright scary.
But thanks to Madame's scary singing.
Look, those pirates hiding on the ship jumped off the ship one by one.
"Come on!" Yuan Xiu waved to Lu Mo, and then ran towards Lingquan Pond first.
Lu Mo was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
It's my cousin's fault that her singing is unpleasant.
His work must be completed.
The two moved very quickly and knocked a Baga unconscious when they caught him.
In just two quarters of an hour, all the apparent problems were dealt with.
Lin Xuezhu's business came from overhead, "Okay, just about right. There are one or two fish that have slipped through the net, and I can handle them myself."
"Then move them out." Yuan Xiu said.
"There's no rush." ââLin Xuezhu said, "You guys do something for me first."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Lin Xuezhu said: "I think the seafood here is good. Let's make some adjustments so that no matter whether we go to the capital or the north, we can have fresh seafood to eat."
As she said this, she walked towards the beach.
After acquiring more than a hundred large ships, her space functions have been upgraded.
All seafood within a radius of one hundred meters was transferred directly from the sea to space by her.
Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo stood by the Lingquan Pond and saw a large number of fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. falling from the sky.
There were even giant hard-shell prawns that they had never seen before, as well as various hard shells.
Blah blah blah, blah blah... seafood is raining from the sky.
Lu Mo had never seen such a scene before and was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.
Although Yuan Xiu had some understanding of the functions of space, he had never observed Lin Xuezhu moving things into the space so closely.
After a while, the seafood piled up like a hill.
Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo looked at each other, their moods quite indescribable.
"Husband, little cousin, what kind of seafood do you like to eat?" Lin Xuezhu's excited voice sounded.
Neither Yuan Xiu nor Lu Mo knew how to answer.
As people from the Central Plains, they can eat river fresh food, but seafood...
"My cousin brought it, and I like to eat it!" In the end, it was Lu Mo who resolved the embarrassment with his wit.
The rain of seafood stopped.
Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo thought it was over and were waiting for Lin Xuezhu's next instructions.
Suddenly, they changed places around them and started to fish again...
"It should be that your cousin-in-law changed places to fish." Yuan Xiu said.
He didn't know whether the word "fishing" was appropriate or not.
After all, judging from what Lin Xuezhu has done, her skills are very consistent with the "retrieving objects from the air" that has been widely rumored in the martial arts world but no one has actually seen it.
After another crash, Lin Xuezhu's voice sounded again, "You two, change places."
"Oh." Yuan Xiu quickly pulled Lu Mo out of the way.
Then, where they had just stood, seafood started to be served again...
Lin Xuezhu worked hard for nearly half an hour, and finally caught enough seafood.
She loves seafood so much.
It's a pity that in previous lives, humans dumped garbage into the sea. The ocean was seriously polluted, and even the fish and shrimp in it were not clean.
Today's seafood is pure, pollution-free and high-quality protein!
If you have this opportunity, don't make too much money.
When we return to the capital, who can say when we can come to the Southern Region next time?
Lu Mo looked at the mountain-like seafood and whispered to Yuan Xiu in confusion, "Cousin, if you can't finish eating these seafood, won't they become rotten and smelly?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. These seafood are here It has been stored here for ten years and is still as fresh as when it was fished out," Yuan Xiu said.
"Huh?" Lu Mo realized that this was beyond his ability to understand.
But no matter what, there was nothing he could understand about everything that happened today.
My cousins-in-law are all good at occult arts, which is probably the most trivial one.
The young boy was so engrossed in his thoughts that he suddenly noticed that the surrounding scene had changed again.
It turns out that he has returned to the real world.
"Cousin, your mystical skills are so powerful!" As soon as Lu Mo saw Lin Xuezhu, he immediately put aside his shock and turned into admiration.
Lin Xuezhu chuckled and said, "It was raining seafood just now. Do you want to see the rain of people?"
"What?" Just when Lu Mo wanted to express that he didn't understand, people began to fall out of thin air on the sea surface.
Chapter 540 The seafood master
Lu Mo was shocked.
Cousin's sister-in-law is just... that simple to deal with those pirate remnants?
After Lin Xuezhu threw the remaining pirates into the sea, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
"Cousin, these pirates know how to swim, are you not afraid of them swimming up?" Lu Mo finally asked the doubt in his heart.
Lin Xuezhu chuckled, "So what if they swim up? They're just a few little mice, they can't make any big waves."
Lu Mo thought about it and felt that what his cousin said made sense.
The pirates' army of tens of thousands had been completely annihilated by Pingnan's army.
For these remnants, without a large army to rely on and no ships, it is definitely impossible to return home.
If you stay in the Southern Region, you will inevitably have to live in hiding in the future.
"Husband, my father has managed the Southern Territory Governor's Mansion. The next step is to find the criminals who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country in the entire Southern Territory. In my opinion, there is no need for him to move. He can stay here and take good care of it. It's the Southern Territory," Lin Xuezhu said.
Yuan Xiu nodded.
There is indeed no need for my father-in-law to move.
The pirate rebellion in the Southern Territory has been settled, and now comes the personal grudge between him and the Dog Emperor.
When everything is settled, not only him, but everyone in the Lin family will be able to get back what originally belonged to them, and even more.
"Lu Mo, escort your wife and father-in-law back to the Southern Territory Governor's Mansion." Yuan Xiu said.
"Yes, I will go back to the camp to pick up Uncle Lin." After Lu Mo finished speaking, he mounted his horse and left.
The terrain of the Southern Territory is different from that of the long and narrow Northern Territory. The Governor's Mansion is close to the Central Plains and not close to the coastline.
Lin Xuezhu said to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, we are going back to the prefect's mansion for a seafood dinner. You handle the matters here and come and meet us as soon as possible."
"I understand." Yuan Xiu said calmly.
On the surface, he didn't say anything, but in his heart he thought of how his wife would cook them a novel meal on a whim from time to time during the exile.
He would occasionally recall those unique and delicious foods on the battlefield, which only made him miss his wife even more.
It's a pity that he will miss this seafood dinner after all.
Lin Xuezhu was not stingy and did not want to reward Yuan Xiu and the whole army with a seafood feast.
However, the seafood is cold, and most of the Pingnan Army are from the Central Plains. They will be somewhat acclimated to this tropical sea.
Just after the battle, everyone was very tired. They were afraid of gastrointestinal discomfort after eating too much seafood.
Therefore, Lin Xuezhu gave up the idea of ââleaving some seafood for them.
The two of them followed Lu Mo, but their riding speed was obviously much slower.
By the time Lu Mo went to pick up Lin Chengzhang from the camp and the carriage arrived, Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu happened to be some distance away from the camp.
Lin Xuezhu got off the horse and waved goodbye to Yuan Xiu.
The three of them marched all the way to the prefect's mansion.
On the way, Lin Chengzhang asked her about her situation in Beijing since the separation.
I was quite shocked when I heard that King Yan and the Queen Mother were dead, and that the Marquis Wenzhong's Mansion had also disappeared.
Because Lin Xuezhu was still a generation apart from Lin Chengzhang, she was embarrassed to tell him all the things about the Dog Emperor's inhumanity.
Being left or right is not a big deal, and whether you say it or not is irrelevant to the overall situation.
The carriage moved forward rapidly, and after walking for two days and two nights, it finally arrived at the prefect's mansion.
Hearing that Lin Xuezhu and Lin Chengzhang were back, Lu and Wei Hong'er hurriedly came out to greet the young prince in their arms.
When Lin Chengzhang left the prefect's mansion before, the young prince had not yet arrived, so he did not see his grandson.
Now when we first saw him, he was so happy that he held the child in his hands, looked left and right, but refused to let go.
Lin Xuezhu signaled to Lu Mo, and the two of them walked around behind the carriage and pretended to take out a basket of seafood from the carriage, but in fact they moved it directly from the space.
Lin Xuezhu said: "Tonight, let's have a seafood feast."
"Seafood, what?" No one understood.
Lin Xuezhu smiled, didn't say anything, and directly asked people to move the seafood into the kitchen.
At this time, Lin Chengzhang's attention was always on his grandson, and he did not bother to ask Lin Xuezhu where the seafood came from.
Lin Xuezhu was taken to the kitchen and asked to clean a basket of seafood.
She herself is responsible for preparing the seasonings used by the seafood masters.
The servants of the Prefect's Mansion were busy and their hands and feet were quite fast.
They all live near the sea and are very good at eating seafood.
They didn't even need Lin Xuezhu to give instructions one by one, they sorted the seafood into different types.
After dividing them, they are divided into categories and steamed in the pot.
Different types have different steaming times, and these guys are experts.
Sauté Lin Xuezhu, chili pepper and other ingredients until fragrant, then add various seasonings to make a sauce.
After a while, the seafood was steamed and placed in a huge basin.
Lin Xuezhu poured the sauce on while it was still hot.
The spicy smell, mixed with the salty aroma of seafood, immediately wafted out of the kitchen.
"Serve!" Lin Xuezhu gave the order, and the two boys carried the basin of seafood to the dining hall.
There are also a few old ladies who are responsible for calling people.
After a while, Lin Chengzhang, Lu Shi, Wei Hong'er, Lu Mo and Lin Xuezhu all gathered in the dining hall.
Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan followed and waited on them.
Lin Xuezhu asked someone to bring an empty basin over, divided a basin of seafood, and asked Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan to sit at the small table to eat.
Luo Hong and Quan Gonggong refused to eat anything they dared to eat.
Wei Hong'er smiled and said: "You two, stop pushing. The princess likes the excitement of everyone eating together. You all think it makes her happy."
Having said this, Luo Hong and Eunuch Quan sat down.
Lin Chengzhang was still holding the young prince.
The child's nose was sensitive and he sneezed a few times when he smelled the chili pepper.
Lin Chengzhang quickly asked someone to carry his grandson further away.
"Let's eat." Lin Xuezhu rubbed her hands in excitement.
Then under the gaze of everyone, he started directly.
Seafood is the most delicious when eaten with your hands.
When everyone saw that she had no inhibitions, they were naturally happy and comfortable.
Lin Xuezhu added a lot of ginger to the sauce.
Firstly, it enhances the flavor, and secondly, it warms the stomach and avoids gastrointestinal discomfort.
She ate two scallops first. The meat was tender and chewy, not too delicious.
I ate two more clams, they were plump and chewy, a rare and top quality.
Then came the prawns, crabs...
"Xue Zhu, what is this thing that looks like a large centipede?" Mr. Lu picked up a Pipi shrimp and asked.
Lin Xuezhu smiled.
Fish, shrimp, shellfish and crabs are also found in fresh water. Even if you have never eaten them from the sea, you have seen similar ones.
However, this Pipi Shrimp is indeed a little less popular.
So, Lin Xuezhu grabbed a Pipi shrimp and personally showed everyone how to eat it.
Maybe it's the season, and the shrimps and crabs are all yellow and very fragrant.
Everyone enjoyed their meal.
Just as the meal was coming to an end, suddenly, a woman's exclamation came from outside the dining hall.
Lin Chengzhang stood up immediately.
"It's my precious grandson!" After he said that, he kicked over the stool and rushed out.
