Chapter 117: Border Guard General



Ye Xinran smiled, "What do you think of these?"

Zhu Qian nodded, "Very good, very good! If these are made, they can all be sold at a good price! The key is that they are not sold anywhere else!"

The two continued to discuss the details of the cooperation, and it was not until dinner time that they finalized it.

Ye Xinran also mentioned the idea of ​​building a snack street. Zhu Qian was very interested and immediately made the decision. She would invest one million taels. Someone would deliver it tomorrow.

When they had almost finished discussing the matter, the two of them went to the front hall together, where the meal was already set out.

The old prince and the old princess have already arrived. There are still more than 20 tables.

For today's dinner, Ye Xinran taught the cook to make several special dishes and snacks that were not available at this time. They would also be the specialties of the snack bar in the future.

Dishes that use chili peppers include: boiled pork, spicy hot pot, boiled fish, spicy crayfish, roasted lamb leg, stinky tofu, spicy potatoes, mapo tofu, etc.

Light dishes include: rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, various pastries, chicken feet, spare ribs, mixed vegetables, seafood porridge, etc.

This time, all the drinks were replaced with wine and juice.

Everyone ate until their mouths were full of oil. It was spicy and satisfying.

Zhu Qian couldn't stop eating crayfish.

"Qianqian, eat less and drink some juice!" Daoqin handed over the juice with a smile and said! "If you eat too much of this, you will get angry easily!"

"But it's so delicious! I can't stop eating it!" Zhu Qian's mouth and hands were covered in oil.

"Then have some of this big mixed vegetable, it will help you get rid of the greasiness and reduce the internal heat!" Daoqin picked up some food for her.

Zhu Qian opened her mouth and the knife and the piano were fed directly into her mouth. The secret guards who watched were filled with envy.

"Jianshu, please take some time to talk to the princess and find a wife for us!" said a secret guard.

"That's right! I want it too!"

"Yeah, count me in!"

Ye Xinran is now considered to have deep internal strength, so he naturally heard it! He shook his head in amusement, but when he thought about it, he could indeed solve it!

Let’s find some time to hold a blind date!

After eating and drinking, Zhu Qian and Dao Qin said goodbye.

"Xinran, I'm leaving with Daoqin, and we'll be heading back to Lyuli City tomorrow! If you have anything to say, just let me know! And if there's any good business to be done, remember to call me!

I will come to see you again when I finish my housework!"

Ye Xinran nodded and escorted the two of them out of the house.

"We will go to Tianjiang City later. You can come to Tianjiang City to find me then!"

Zhu Qian nodded.

Daoqin was also saying goodbye to the secret guards. She was reluctant to leave. She didn't know when she would see them again.

All good things must come to an end, and they left anyway.

After Daoqin left, Ye Xinran chose two more female secret guards who were as skilled in martial arts as Daoqin to be by her side. There was no other way, she had too many things to do. She needed someone to help her.

The female secret guards were named Qiuhua and Qiushi. Both of them were very good looking.

Qiuhua has an oval face and is not tall, but she is smart and quick to understand. The most important thing is that she has a photographic memory and is very good at math. Most of the account books that Gu Yanxin brought were taken care of by her, and she never made any mistakes.

Qiushi also had an oval face and a mole at the corner of her eye. She was honest and devoted, and liked to study all kinds of things. She didn't feel tired even after working all day. Ye Xinran simply gave her the recipes for various foods and asked her to continue her research.

As soon as they arrived, they were noticed by the secret guards, especially Jianshu. He was the first to get the upper hand because he was close to Qiuhua. He followed Qiuhua every day, helping her with this and that, and was very diligent.

Ye Xinran was too embarrassed to disturb them.

Qiuhua and Qiushi were doing the work, and with Gu Yanxin, Ye Xinran was living a very relaxed and comfortable life.

On the other side, in the imperial city, Emperor Gu Zhenting was extremely unlucky. Not only did General Zhennan die in battle, but General Zhenguo was also old. He was powerless in many things.

The natural barrier of the Lancang River had been breached by King Wensheng's men, and the army lost three cities in succession.

At this time, Song Danqing had also arrived in Yanjing City and brought back the assassins.

Gu Zhenting was furious when he heard that Gu Yanming was assassinated and injured and unconscious. But he didn't expect that Gu Yanming would be set on fire by King Wensheng and almost burned to death. How could he expect Gu Yanming to go to the battlefield for him?

He asked with a headache. "Are you sure that King Wucheng was seriously injured?"

He still remembered that when King Wucheng was exiled, he woke up after a few days, which made him wonder if it was fake.

Song Danqing nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, I saw it clearly, King Wucheng almost died in the sea of ​​fire."

"If the emperor has any concerns, you can send a royal doctor to check it out!" Jin Zishu said with a folded hand. "After all, King Wucheng is a pillar of the country, so it is reasonable for the emperor to send a royal doctor to treat him!"

Gu Zhenting frowned and waved his hand. The last time Gu Yanming came down from the battlefield, he sent a doctor to see him. But it was useless! Besides, the situation was urgent now, and he really didn't have time to think about him.

"Who else can lead the troops to attack King Wensheng?"

Seeing that there are only five cities left and King Wensheng is about to reach Yanjing City, how can he not be anxious.

Everyone was talking to each other, but there was really no one suitable. This was because most of the generals were stationed at various important checkpoints and could not be easily transferred.

Veteran General Chen Gong sighed, "I can go!"

"This," Gu Zhenting frowned. After all, this veteran was older than the previous generals!

Gu Zhenting shook his head, "Old General, you are old, you should enjoy your old age!"

Chen Gong shook his head. "The country is in danger. How can I live in disgrace? Even if I have to risk my life, I can't let the traitors succeed!"

Gu Zhenting sighed, "General Chen, I appreciate your kindness. I think we should wait and see. There must be a suitable candidate."

"I am willing to go!" Jin Zishu suddenly said.

Gu Zhenting was startled, "You are a civil servant..."

"Your Majesty, the country is in crisis. I am willing to give up my pen and join the army to defend my country! Moreover, although I am a civil servant, I also know some martial arts. I will definitely guard the front line for Your Majesty!"

Jin Zishu spoke passionately, which made the civil servants below feel emotional.

"I am willing to go too!"

"I am willing too!"

"Good, good!" Gu Zhenting was deeply moved. "Jin Zishu, I will appoint you as the Border Guard General. You can lead 50,000 soldiers to assist the National Guard General."

"Yes, I will obey your command!"

"Okay, go down and get ready. We will set off early tomorrow morning! I will see you and all the soldiers off tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Jin Zishu bowed, turned and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, Xiao Quanzi was waiting there.

"Master Jin has got what he wanted! He can leave this place!" Xiao Quanzi smiled, but there was darkness in his smile. "Liu Fei tastes pretty good, right?"
