As soon as Shangguan Qingyue came back, Zhao Xi asked someone to notify him that the two of them had returned, but they were not notified until recently.
Wen Ruhai covered his mouth with his hand, yawned secretly, and said, "According to your Highness, that fruit is the sacred fruit of Myanmar. However, Dali is adjacent to Myanmar, and we have been traveling there for many years, but I have never heard of this fruit. I also asked the Burmese royal family, and they confirmed that it does not exist."
"Your Highness would definitely not lie. If this is the case, it means that the Burmese royal family lied..."
"The Burmese have always been at odds with our Great Chu. If the spies learn that this is what Your Highness requested, and report it to the Burmese king, the king might order everyone to lie in order to displease Your Highness..."
Liang Su nodded, "The small Burmese tribe is so rampant!"
"How dare you lie to me? That's too much!" Zhao Ying said hatefully.
Zhao Ying felt that it was too petty for a king to tell such a huge lie for a piece of fruit, but Shangguan Shu said that these small countries in the southern border of Da Chu should not be treated as ordinary people, as they have the body of an ant and the heart of a wild dog.
Shangguan Shu's attitude was extremely contemptuous.
If this is the case, Zhao Ying will inevitably have other thoughts.
How could her Great Chu not have such good fruit!
In other words, if it's not there, can't it be made up?
Liang Su was a military commander, and upon hearing this, he became excited. "Your Highness, do you want to teach the Burmese a lesson?"
Zhao Ying raised her hand expressionlessly, then had someone bring a map of the border area, which the maids unfolded.
Zhao Ying said, "I've been considering this for a few days and have a good idea. All we need is 20,000 troops to cross the river and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's capital, forcing them to hand over the sacred fruit!"
"Your Highness wishes to send troops to Burma?"
Wen Ruhai was shocked. Just... just for a fruit?
Of course, besides being horrified, I couldn't help but feel excited. Who wouldn't want to expand their territory and conquer the Wolf's Lair? But...
Zhao Ying looked at Wen Ruhai with a half-smile, "Don't be afraid, Lord Wen. If we lose this battle, it's my fault. If we win, I will go to my father and ask for credit for you!"
Wen Ruhai's last bit of hesitation disappeared.
Using military force against the Burmese will bring only benefits and no harm.
It can also divert Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi's attention, allowing them to focus on fighting and ignore Dali's affairs. Moreover, if Myanmar is conquered, all of Myanmar's ports can be opened to Dali, which will then be a good place to dump Furong Powder!
I believe the clans would also be happy to see this happen.
Sure enough, the clansmen headed by Liu Yi all readily agreed. Not only did they agree, they also donated all the food, wages, and fodder needed for the war, a total of 300,000 dan and 1 million taels, enough to feed the 150,000-strong army for a year.
Considering a woman's ability, the clans thought it was good enough if she could conquer the country in one year.
If they can take it down, they can earn several million taels!
The only problem now is the name of the expedition.
Zhao Ying said coldly, "Our Great Chu is a country of etiquette. We cannot go to war without a pretext for it!"
You can't say that you fought just for a durian, right?
Liang Su, who was eager to try, had already found this for her. He said that he had captured several Burmese killers near the inn a few days ago. After interrogation, they admitted that they were Burmese and intended to assassinate Prince Ding and the princess.
Now I have a reason to go on the expedition.
After the discussion was almost over, Zhao Ying returned to the dormitory and found that Shangguan Qingyue had disappeared again...
Zhao Ying held her forehead and thought, it’s time to beat her. No matter what she said this time, she would beat her!
…
Still the same journey, same time, noon.
This time, the little guy didn’t go home for dinner because he found something delicious.
The mountain is covered with colorful little mushrooms, which look delicious.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up, and she ran over, took off the backpack behind her, held the mushroom stalks with her small hands, picked them off one by one, and threw them into the backpack. Soon she had picked half of the backpack, enough for her to eat.
[Hehe, I'll have colorful mushroom soup for lunch today! I'll go home for dinner tonight!]
After picking the mushrooms, the little girl found a piece of open space and picked up some small branches to make a small fire. Since she didn't have a pot, she conjured one up. Since she didn't have fire, she flipped her hand and a ball of blue-green flame rose in her palm.
Even the most powerful Pure Yao Fire since the creation of the world would never have imagined that one day it would be used to cook mushroom soup.
There was no water in the pot, and there happened to be a stream not far away. Shangguan Qingyue took the pot, filled it halfway with water, staggered back with it, and put it on the fire to boil.
The colorful mushrooms have been put into the pot. The water in the pot is boiling. The little girl stirs it with a branch. Not far away is her "bowl", a piece of spread-out leaves.
“Hehe…it smells so good!”
Shangguan Qingyue stared at the mushroom soup in the pot and became more and more excited. She could cook too!
"By the way, put some more grass, that's what Daddy does!"
After talking to himself, the little guy got up and went to find grass.
Just as he was walking, a "savage" stumbled over.
The girl was so hungry that she felt dizzy. She had escaped from Liu Mansion yesterday and was chased by the servants. She finally managed to escape into the mountains. How could she dare to come out? She hid for a whole night before she dared to come out to find some food.
Suddenly, his nostrils moved, as if he smelled something.
He followed the aroma and saw the fire, the pot, and the delicious mushroom soup in the pot... His cloudy and blurry eyes suddenly lit up.
Heaven is above, and Hou Tu is below... Heaven will never leave him without a way out!
He knew that Shangguan Chengjing would not die here easily!
In an instant, his eyes became hotter and he felt like crying.
So touching... So touching... Which fairy came down to earth to save him, cooked him a pot of mushroom soup, and left without leaving her name!
The girl was also extremely hungry. If she had been thinking like this in the past, she would not have been so wild. At least she should understand that this was cooked by humans, not by gods.
The girl walked towards the mushroom soup with a pale face. She looked around but found no cutlery, so she used two branches as chopsticks, picked up the mushrooms that were being boiled in the pot and became more colorful, blew on them, and put them into her mouth.
Smells good! Really smells good!
The girl quickly finished all the mushrooms in the pot. At this time, the soup had cooled down, so she picked up the pot and drank the soup.
"Comfortable!" The girl put down the pot and burped.
He hasn't eaten so comfortably in a long time...
He couldn't help but glance at the shadow on the ground. It was already past noon and he should have felt addicted, but maybe he was full, so he didn't feel addicted!
The girl smiled in surprise and relief.
But then, his body shook, and several blurry shadows suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He squinted, looked carefully, and opened his mouth wide the next second.
Shouting, "Mother! Father! Wan'er! Bai Lin! Qi You! Yue'er..."
When the girl finished speaking, she choked up and tears streamed down her face.
Before his eyes, "Daddy" and "Mom" waved gently at him, and his brothers and sisters took his hands and wanted to dance with him. They danced so happily and laughed so happily. He was immersed in their joy, laughing and dancing with them...
“La la la la… um…”
Shangguan Qingyue came back skipping and jumping with a basket of heartbreak grass on his back and a handful of small flowers in his hands. The next second, the smile froze on the corner of his mouth.
