Chapter 236 What a pity

Jiang Yun turned around and saw Xiao Jin coming out. He was startled at first, then a look of astonishment appeared on his face, "Your Majesty, it's really Your Majesty!"

Jiang Yun quickly walked up to Xiao Jin and knelt down, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

There was also uncontrollable excitement in Xiao Jin's eyes, but his expression didn't change much over the years, so it wouldn't be as obvious as it was in Jiang Yun's eyes.

Xiao Jin stepped forward and helped Jiang Yun up, "Deputy General Jiang, you have worked hard along the way."

Jiang Yun's eyes were red, "I can still see the prince alive, I will die without regrets."

"Everyone okay?"

Jiang Yun said: "Something happened on the way, and some brothers were killed."

Xiao Jin patted his shoulder and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in first."

"yes."

Xiao Jin followed Jiang Yun and came to a group of soldiers. Everyone was very excited to see Xiao Jin.

It was getting dark and the wind was blowing hard outside, so Xiao Jin led them into the Tiger Camp first.

There were so many of them that only the Tiger Camp could barely accommodate them.

"Brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now." Mengzi came down from the city wall and clasped his fists to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun naturally didn't take it to heart, "It's only right to be cautious in this damn place. Brother, you're not wrong to do this."

"Everyone is cold and hungry. Uncle Meng, please prepare some food for everyone."

"Don't worry, Master Xiao. I have asked someone to prepare the things."

After expressing his gratitude, Xiao Jin took Jiang Yun and the others to the Tiger Camp.

After Hu Wei left with his brothers in Tiger Camp, Mengzi used Tiger Camp as a resting place for the brothers defending the city. There were not many things in it, but it could barely meet their daily needs.

Jiang Yun and his companions had been walking in the ice and snow for several days. They were cold and hungry. If it weren't for their good physical fitness after years of military service, others would have collapsed long ago.

Mengzi had people light fires in every room so that everyone could warm themselves up first.

"The food is still in the pot. Let's drink some hot water to warm ourselves up first." Someone came in with hot water. There were not enough bowls, so everyone took turns drinking.

After taking a few sips of hot water, the frozen body felt a little relieved.

Xiao Jin and Jiang Yun came to a small house and listened to Jiang Yun explain the situation in Jincheng.

"When the soldiers heard that the prince was wrongly imprisoned, they were very angry. They felt that their enthusiasm was wasted. Later, when they learned that you were exiled, some people said that they would write a joint letter to the emperor to redress your name. Who knew that this was a scheme of those people with sinister intentions? Fortunately, you reminded them in time, otherwise even General Sima would not be saved."

Xiao Jin's face was tense, and his brows were knitted together. "Will the emperor send people to Jincheng to take over the 200,000 troops afterwards?"

Jiang Yun shook his head, "No, I just let General Sima supervise it temporarily."

"You've been exhausted along the way. Take a break first. If there's anything, we can talk about it after you've recovered."

"Yes, everyone was so happy when they knew that the prince was fine. It was really a blessing from heaven!"

"The food is here. Let's eat something and take a break."

As they were talking, people from the North District came in carrying a large amount of potatoes and rice soup.

"You have been hungry for quite some time. You cannot eat those big fish and meat. Just eat something light to fill your stomach first."

Xiao Jin also asked Jiang Yun to eat something. The tall and strong general had lost more than two pounds.

While the soldiers were eating, Mengzi came to Xiao Jin.

"How do you plan to place these soldiers, not just Master Xiao?"

Xiao Jin looked at the soldiers who were wolfing down potatoes and said, "Let's go back to Tiankui City and settle down first."

Mengzi nodded. They were all Xiao Jin's men, so it was normal for them to follow him to Tiankui City.

But it was already late, and they had to leave tomorrow. So he asked people to prepare more food for them to eat tomorrow morning. After all, there was still a long way from Tiger Camp to Tiankui City, and they couldn't go there on an empty stomach.

That night, Xiao Jin and Jiang Yun and the others rested for a night in the Tiger Camp.

Before dawn in the morning, some soldiers woke up from their sleep.

Although it was quite cold when I slept last night, it was much better than sleeping in the wilderness with them.

As soon as they woke up, they smelled a strong aroma, the smell of pancakes.

Xiao Jin had gotten up long ago. He counted the number of people last night and found that there were a total of 2,730. This number didn't sound like a lot, but when he settled them one by one, he realized that it was a lot.

"Everyone wake up, breakfast is ready for everyone." Mengzi and others walked in carrying a large basket of pancakes and rice porridge.

"We don't have anything good here, so we used the bird meat that was dried in the sun to make pancakes and porridge with various grains. Everyone come and take some and eat. You'll be full."

Mengzi actively called on the soldiers to come forward.

In the past, those who had been hungry for so long would have rushed forward after hearing what he said, but those soldiers just stood there straight without moving, until they saw Xiao Jin come in and asked them to line up and come forward to take the food, then they went forward in an orderly manner.

Mengzi watched from the side and secretly admired, "I have heard that the army led by the prince is invincible. Seeing it today, it is indeed as good as the saying goes. Alas, what a pity..."

Xiao Jin raised the corners of his lips indifferently, "I also thought it was a pity before." But since he became Su Ying, he realized that even in a desperate situation, he still had to hold his head high and live towards the sun.

"Look at it now, what's so regretful?"

Mengzi suddenly understood and laughed carefreely, "That's right, people eat, drink, defecate and urinate wherever they go, so why bother? When does Master Xiao plan to leave for Tiankui City?"

"Everyone eat and go, we'll be there before dark."

"good."

After the soldiers had eaten their fill, Jiang Yun began to organize his troops and followed Xiao Jin in an orderly manner, leaving from behind the Tiger Camp.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Jiang Yun had previously thought that Xiao Jin had settled in the Tiger Camp.

"Tiankui City."

Tiankui City, what place is that?

Jiang Yun was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He would know the answer later anyway.

In the city of Tiankui, Su Ying was having people clean up outside the palace when she discovered an abandoned farm.

From the outside, it looks like an independent yard, but when you walk in, you will find that there are only a few bungalows inside, and the rest are sheds and cattle pens used for raising livestock.

Due to years of disrepair, the sheds are almost broken, but the cattle pens are made of blue bricks and are relatively well preserved.

The livestock she brought are now placed behind the palace. In the future, those livestock will be used for reproduction, and it will not be appropriate to keep them behind the palace. She wanted to find a suitable place for breeding in the city today, but unexpectedly she found an abandoned farm.
