Chapter 215: The Left Prime Minister is being arrogant again!
Looking at Lin Xiaoyue's departing back, Princess Mingzhu couldn't help but feel melancholy. This silly girl shouldn't have been involved!
Lin Xiaoyue didn't think too much about it. Liang Jingyao liked her, that was his business. She was like a floating duckweed right now. Before her career was stable, she wouldn't consider getting married! If the Queen Mother wanted to arrange a marriage, she would have to see if she had the ability to do so. If she got angry, not only would he empty the palace, but even the Yan Mansion would be emptied out!
"Dad, I'm back!" Lin Xiaoyue calmed down and pushed open the door of the west room.
The drunkard is worried about Lin Xiaoyue!
When he saw Lin Xiaoyue coming back, he quickly called her over, "Come sit here for a while and chat with Dad!"
Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Dad, you just want to ask me what the Queen Mother told me? Don't worry, I didn't agree!"
The drunkard said happily, "She is indeed my daughter! Alas, the Queen Mother's move is really too cruel! Anyway, I won't agree to anything I say!"
Lin Xiaoyue blinked and said jokingly, "Dad, she's the Queen Mother, her word is law! Don't you want to curry favor with her? Maybe you can even become a high-ranking official!"
The drunkard waved his hands dismissively and said, "I don't care! Besides, if I agree to the Queen Mother, will Jing Yao let me go? You just follow your father and pretend to be ignorant about this matter. The Queen Mother can do whatever she wants. Jing Yao will not be easily manipulated!"
Lin Xiaoyue shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter! Is the Queen Mother's medicine still the same today? I have to go to the kitchen to help. Yunyun can't handle it alone!"
The drunkard hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Same old. Leave the medicine delivery to Zhan Ying, lest the Queen Mother ask you questions again."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Zhan Ying. I'll be leaving first, you should have a good rest!"
In the kitchen, Chen Yunyun was busy and exhausted. When she saw Lin Xiaoyue, she quickly shouted, "Quick, stir-fry the vegetables in the iron pot. I need to turn down the heat."
Lin Xiaoyue picked up the large iron spoon and stirred the food back and forth several times before saying, "Where's Zhan Ying? Why isn't he here helping? There aren't any of his men in the yard."
Chen Yunyun scratched the firewood in the earthen stove and replied, "He said the princess asked him to go to the city to buy some fruit. The queen mother wanted to eat some fruit."
Lin Xiaoyue curled her lips. People with sharp tongues are just different! Brother Liang, please finish the fight quickly so that you can get rid of this big Buddha, the Queen Mother! I really can't stand her anymore!
Alas! The eldest princess is obviously the Queen Mother’s biological daughter, so why are their personalities so different?
"Where can we buy fruits in winter? Rich people will stock up some, but the key is whether they are willing to give it to us. I guess Zhan Ying will have to resort to violence again to buy it!" Lin Xiaoyue shook her head speechlessly.
Chen Yunyun said with amusement, "Are you in a bad mood? Why is your tone so off? Did the Queen Mother scold you?"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she shook her head and said, "You're overthinking it! I didn't do anything wrong, so why would she blame me? I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, wait until Zhan Ying comes back and ask him."
Chen Yunyun still felt suspicious, but she couldn't argue with Lin Xiaoyue, so she suppressed her doubts.
At this time, at the gate of Yangming Town, Liang Jingyao came back and went straight to the city wall. He didn't stop until he found Chen Hu.
"Chen Hu, did the Left Prime Minister lead his troops to attack the city when I was away?" Liang Jingyao asked curiously.
Chen Hu clasped his fists and replied, "Master, not yet, but I think he will definitely come for revenge! It's because they were so embarrassed when they escaped!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and asked, "Have the dead cavalry soldiers down there been brought back?"
Chen Hu was a little confused. In wars, most of the heads of the generals who led the troops were taken. Why did he have to deal with the deaths of his subordinates?
"Master, we don't have it. But they are dead, there is no point in pulling them back! Unless it is the head of the Left Prime Minister! Who knows those shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" Chen Hu shook his head and said.
Liang Jingyao leaned against the city wall, looked down at the Iron Cavalrymen who had been shot dead below, and turned to Chen Hu and said, "Hang them all on the city wall so that the Left Prime Minister and the Iron Cavalrymen can have a good look at them and piss them off to death! Hahaha! Also, bring in the wood they used to ram our city gate. If they're trying so hard to ram it in, just hold on tight and block the entrance!"
Chen Hu finally understood Liang Jingyao's intention and nodded in response: "Yes! I obey your command!"
After a while, the corpses and wood from under the tower were dragged in, and all the corpses were hung on the tower.
Sure enough, when the left prime minister arrived with his army again, he looked at the iron cavalry hanging on the city wall and was so angry that he almost fumed!
"Liang Jingyao, don't go too far! I've brought a catapult today, so don't even think about harming a single one of my soldiers! I'm warning you, it's not too late for you to surrender now!" The Left Prime Minister pointed angrily at Liang Jingyao on the city wall and sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on!"
The Left Prime Minister, sitting on his warhorse, waved behind him and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Throw rocks into the city walls, the more the better!"
Then, the four catapults at the back were pushed in front of the left prime minister, and then thrown towards the city wall with a "whoosh whoosh".
Liang Jingyao immediately ordered: "Everyone retreat!"
There was no wind today, so the big rocks couldn't borrow the power of the wind, but a few big rocks were still thrown into the city wall. If Liang Jingyao hadn't ordered his men to retreat quickly, I'm afraid some people would have been crushed into meat patties!
Chen Hu was anxious and said hurriedly, "What should I do? How about I go over and fight them to the death?"
Liang Jingyao stopped Chen Hu and said, "Don't go! Their catapult can move back and forth. You'll be crushed to death by the rocks before you even reach them!"
Chen Hu asked at a loss: "What should we do? How about we throw that homemade bomb? Blow them up!"
Liang Jingyao held Chen Hu's shoulders and said, "Trust me! You can't just pick up rocks this big on the road. Once they're done throwing them, we'll be the ones to do it!"
Chen Hu tiptoed to measure the distance visually and asked doubtfully, "Can we throw it there? Unless we have a catapult like them. But the city wall is so high, a catapult can't even move it!"
"Let me try it first!" Liang Jingyao took a homemade bomb.
Chen Hu was so frightened that he quickly stopped him and said, "Master, those stones don't have eyes. Don't be impulsive!"
Liang Jingyao pushed Chen Hu away and said, "Get out of the way. I never do anything I'm not sure of!"
Liang Jingyao weighed the earth bomb in his hand, then he flew up with a light skill, easily dodged the big rock, stood on the city wall, raised his arm above his head, and threw an earth bomb out with force.
