After saying this, Qian Ruoyu looked at Chu Mobai nervously, hoping that Chu Mobai would agree as soon as possible.
But Chu Mobai didn't think about it and just nodded. What Qian Ruoyu said made some sense, but he overlooked this.
"Um."
With just one word, Qian Ruoyu's plan was completely successful.
This also made Qian Ruoyu feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that his casual idea could actually complete his plan. The next step was to collect the clothes in the tent.
Chu Mobai just called a general in and gave him some instructions. Then Qian Ruoyu followed him out of the central military tent.
Within less than half an hour, the three carts were filled with all kinds of tattered clothes. Although they looked tattered, they could be restored to their original state with just a few mends.
There seemed to be hundreds of pieces of clothing in here, but Qian Ruoyu knew that these clothes could not be delayed for a moment and would probably need to be completely mended within half a day.
But looking at the clothes that had already filled three cars, Qian Ruoyu shook his head and said to the deputy general next to him.
"Go get two more carts."
The deputy general asked in confusion, "Princess, aren't these three carts just right?"
Qian Ruoyu smiled and said, "You only know one thing, not the other."
“Although the three carts are indeed fully loaded with everything, do you think these three carts are too full?”
"If there is a bump on the road, the whole cart will fall over, and the clothes on the ground will need to be picked up again, which will delay the time."
"I have already discussed with the prince that it will only take half a day to get these clothes back. If we delay mending the clothes, it will be a delay in military intelligence. Can you afford it?"
When the deputy general heard Qian Ruoyu say this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh! Your Majesty, you are right! I will arrange it immediately!"
While the deputy general was going to make arrangements, Qian Ruoyu began to think in his mind again, how could he insert these rouge and powder in halfway?
The reason for arranging two more carts is to spread the clothes more evenly, so that it will be convenient to mix the rouge and powder in. After all, the amount of rouge and powder is not small!
Qian Ruoyu immediately pulled Yan'er beside her to her front.
"Are there any other street vendors on our way back to the capital?"
Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Yan'er began to recall and then immediately spoke.
"Yes! Madam, Yan'er remembers it. It's under a banyan tree on the other side of the fork in the road. There seems to be an old farmer selling watermelons."
Hearing this, Qian Ruoyu smiled even more and patted Yan'er's head gently.
"Oh! Not bad, not bad. Your little head has a pretty good memory today!"
Yan'er was very happy to receive Qian Ruoyu's praise.
The deputy general then arranged two more carts, and finally all the clothes on the three carts were evenly distributed onto five carts.
The deputy general then set out with a team of soldiers and Qian Ruoyu, preparing to return to the capital.
Sure enough, when they reached the fork in the road, Qian Ruoyu had already seen that there was indeed an old dragon selling watermelons under a banyan tree in the distance, and there were dozens of watermelons and two diners next to the stall.
Qian Ruoyu slowly raised his hand, and the deputy general immediately raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to stop.
Qian Ruoyu pointed under the banyan tree and said.
"Look, there's someone selling watermelons over there."
When the deputy general heard Qian Ruoyu say this, he immediately nodded.
"Yes! There are people selling watermelons!"
Qian Ruoyu's mouth twitched. He had never imagined that this deputy general was so straightforward. Didn't he understand what he was hinting at?
But Qian Ruoyu said to the other soldiers.
"I'm sure everyone is a little tired after walking all the way, not to mention that we rarely eat fruits in the tents on weekdays. Now that you can help me push these clothes to the palace in Beijing, you have given me the greatest help. This makes me very happy, so I decided to reward you!"
After saying that, Qian Ruoyu took out a few silver coins and handed them to Yan'er who was standing beside him.
"Go ahead, take the prince's men to the banyan tree to eat some watermelon. It doesn't matter how much money you spend. Even if you eat up all the watermelons of others, I won't feel bad at all. After all, they are all the prince's men!"
When the soldiers heard Qian Ruoyu say this, they were extremely grateful. They had never expected that Qian Ruoyu would reward them so generously.
The deputy general was even more surprised and said: "This... Princess, this is probably inappropriate, right?"
I didn’t expect that the princess would be so considerate to these men.
Qian Ruoyu said considerately: "Why is it inappropriate? Seeing you helping me push these carts along the way is already troublesome enough. Don't I even have the right to reward you?"
"Besides, the camp has not been moved yet, and the mission you are carrying out is not very difficult. Letting you eat some watermelon will not waste much time, right? If you don't believe me, why not ask the soldiers?"
The deputy general looked back and saw that the soldiers were drooling at the watermelon field.
The soldiers were naturally thirsty while escorting the princess back.
After all, it was the promise made by the princess herself, so they naturally kept it in their hearts. If someone else had offered to treat them to watermelon, they would probably have been indifferent.
Finally, the deputy general nodded. Even if he didn't eat, other soldiers also needed to quench their thirst.
"Well, Princess, let's let the soldiers go eat watermelon together. I will watch here. You can come too..."
Qian Ruoyu never imagined that this deputy general would be so serious and responsible.
Therefore Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, but said to him.
"No need, you can come too!"
"You two can enjoy the sweet and juicy watermelon together. As for me, just watch over it personally. After all, I was the one who thought of this matter, so naturally I should be responsible for it."
"What's wrong? Is there any problem with letting you go to eat? Are you afraid that someone will steal all these clothes?"
After hearing this, the deputy general suddenly realized what was going on, but he was deeply moved.
After all, they had no idea what Qian Ruoyu was thinking, so under the leadership of Yan'er, they all went to the melon field under the banyan tree.
After watching them all leave, Qian Ruoyu felt much more relieved. The banyan tree was huge, and its trunk was so thick that it almost covered everything here when it hung down. This made it convenient for Qian Ruoyu to mix all the rouge and powder in.
So Qian Ruoyu looked around and saw the fat proprietress and two carts rushing towards this side.
