Hanshan City.
At this moment, the city is still in ruins.
But not many people helped with the reconstruction.
This was naturally Ning Que's intention.
He had no intention of leaving behind a peaceful and harmonious Goguryeo.
He went on a killing spree not just for revenge.
It was also to arouse the bloodiness of the Goguryeo people.
When Emperor Feng sends troops to take over, it will be a mess!
Chunlun was wearing armor and carrying a sword, leading his soldiers on patrol.
Smelling the fragrant aroma of food, he walked over.
The fireman was busy cooking.
Stir-fry directly in a large iron pan with a wooden spatula.
You can see strips of meat and bones inside.
"Hey, eating meat again today?"
"Yes." Chef Li came forward with a smile, "During the fire attack on Hanshan City, many war horses were killed or burned. So the prince said to stew them all."
"Hehe, that's great!" Chunlun, a Liao native, had of course eaten horse meat before, and immediately said with a smile, "Horse meat is very hot, so don't eat too much."
"Don't worry."
"Hey, what are those women doing in front?"
Chunlun frowned.
I saw many women picking up things with their heads down.
"Them?" Chef Li looked at them and smiled. "It's nothing, actually. Supplies are limited in Hanshan City right now, and they don't have much to eat at home. So they come around to our area to pick up rotten leaves, broken bones, and unwanted offal. They bring them home, wash them briefly, and then stew them with iron helmets, water, and rice. They even gave it a name, something like 'Army Stew'."
"Isn't this... just sewage?"
Chunlun's mouth twitched.
Watching them rummaging through the garbage bucket.
Chef Li also laughed. "Don't laugh at them. Even if there wasn't a war, they would still have rummaged through the barracks' sewage and brought it back to make this army stew. There's no point in scolding them. They're still getting anxious about you, saying this is a traditional Goguryeo delicacy. Whose traditional delicacy is sewage..."
"Hahaha!"
"Now I finally understand what the prince said."
"Goguryeo is full of psychopaths from top to bottom."
Chunlun couldn't help but laugh.
Are you feeling superior by eating slop?
Ning Que had said at the time that the Goguryeo people had simply eaten too much kimchi, and it had made them stupid. They constantly claimed they were a paradise on earth, and even the Goguryeo people, who could only eat kimchi slop, would puff out their chests with pride when they thought of the royal family's daily feasts.
"Old Li, you better be careful."
"These Goguryeo people are very cunning."
"Someone took the risk and attempted assassination a few days ago."
"Okay!" Chef Li glanced around and secretly handed over two pieces of dried meat. "This is the dried meat that the prince ordered us to make. It can be used as dry food later. Please accept it."
"Ahem, no!"
Chun Lun coughed and shook his head, waving his hand and saying, "Old Li, are you using this to test the cadres? Take it back now. Have you forgotten the prince's instructions?"
"What are you yelling about..." Chef Li said helplessly, "We have a good relationship, so I made this for you to try. Even in front of the prince, it's nothing. Just keep it. You've been patrolling these days, so giving you two extra pieces of meat is no big deal."
"Okay, then I won't be polite."
Chunlun didn't take it for nothing.
Then he forced a piece of silver into Chef Li's hand.
"This is the reward the prince gave me."
"Don't refuse."
"You kid really is..."
He looked at Chunlun running away and shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that although Chunlun was from Liao, he also knew how to reciprocate.
The more I look at this guy, the more he looks like Feng Ren!
…
…
Chunlun arrived in front of the central army camp.
Outside the house, many captains were waiting.
Looking inside, one could only vaguely see Ning Que's figure.
The generals of the army were sitting in the tent.
They all looked up at Ning Que.
"A secret report arrived yesterday."
"It is said that Park Duanchang will lead the troops later."
"They decided to turn being passive into being proactive."
"Set up ambushes along the mountain forests and other places and snipe us."
"Tie Niu, Bai Yu, prepare a battle report for me tonight. Think about how we should respond. I'd like to remind you that Gao Suwen is no fool. He must have known about our attack on Hanshan City with kerosene. They're not fools, so they decided to march out from the city. Their target is most likely our kerosene!"
"promise!"
Tie Niu and Bai Yu stood up at the same time.
Ning Que looked at the other generals again.
"You can all get ready."
"Including the captives from Goguryeo, keep them under good care."
"You can let them do some hard labor."
"They will also be needed for subsequent sieges."
"If there are those who are loyal enough, they can be used first."
"promise!"
They all stood up too.
Ning Que waved his hand and let them go first.
In the end, only a few people were left.
"Brother Gongshu, you've worked hard these days."
"I just did some small things." Gongshu Chou waved his hand nonchalantly. "After all, there's no need for reconstruction, and it's nothing important."
"Also, I have something to thank you for."
"Thank me?"
"You let me know my true origins."
"ah?"
Ning Que sighed deeply. "Ever since you saw the Big Dipper beneath my feet and said those words, I've specifically used the Eight Treasures Trading Company's contact station to ask Uncle Shou. He told me that the day I was born was actually very strange. Because I cried quite loudly when I was born, there must be nothing wrong. My father and brothers were also very happy at the time and couldn't wait to host a banquet for the guests."
"Then what?"
"Shou Bo was in the backyard at the time, just in case anything was needed, but he was suddenly knocked unconscious by a man in black. When he woke up, the palace was in chaos. He said that I had suddenly fallen ill and my breathing was extremely weak. Fortunately, Uncle Chang was also a guest at the palace and saved my life. After I came back to life, Shou Bo had time to report the incident. At that time, my father believed that Tian Zhongxun had sent people to harm me, and he beat Tian Zhongxun up for it."
"Oh!" Gongshu Chou suddenly laughed, "So it seems that I was right. Even if Tian Zhongxun wanted to kill someone, he couldn't possibly kill a newborn son. But your Ning Wang Mansion has always been a place that doesn't offend anyone. If there's a political enemy, it's only Tian Zhongxun. It's no wonder that old Ning Wang guessed wrong. So I didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't guess wrong."
"You are the late emperor's true descendant!"
"Because the prince was on the verge of death at birth, the Queen Mother wanted to replace him with a cat. This task was given to Gu Shuang, but unexpectedly, the Gu family gave birth to a daughter. There was really no other choice, so they had to take advantage of the Ning Palace's celebration to switch the newborn prince."
"In other words, Emperor Feng is Prince Ning!"
"Um."
Ning Que sighed.
He unraveled all these things and slowly figured them out.
Although there is no substantial evidence, it's almost there.
After all, this is the only possibility!
When the speculation became reality, Ning Que found it hard to accept...
