Chapter 363 Leading the troops to set off
Xie Jingci's jealousy was unexpectedly caught off guard.
And he seems very difficult to appease.
Lu Wanyin finished her food in a few bites and immediately moved to Xie Jingci's side: "You are jealous of business matters too?"
Xie Jingci felt uneasy and wanted to pull away her hand that was wrapped around his neck.
Even though I tried to pull it up, I couldn't exert any strength.
Lu Wanyin raised an eyebrow, sat on his legs, and snuggled into his arms: "You can see it too, if these letters fall into the hands of outsiders, it will be very dangerous. Where else can it be safer than in space, right?"
The warm breath is mixed with a faint fragrance.
Xie Jingci's heart was moved and his breathing became lighter.
His strong arms gently wrapped around her slender waist and moved gently twice, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
No, no, she is pregnant.
Xie Jingci breathed lightly, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead against hers: "Madam, stop making trouble."
Noticing his abnormality, Lu Wanyin's face flushed and she quickly distanced herself from him: "What I mean is, those letters are just like stones picked up from the mountains. They are just random piles of miscellaneous items that are occasionally useful."
"I know."
Xie Jingci sighed softly: "I will try my best to control my emotions."
He was afraid that he would go too far and repeat the same mistakes.
"No, there's no need to change it completely."
Lu Wanyin held Xie Jingci's face with a smile: "You are quite cute when you are jealous."
The cheek against which my palm rested was rapidly heating up.
"cough."
A hesitant voice came from the side: "Well, I have something important to report, and I don't mean to disturb you."
Apart from Ji Mingtao, there is no other choice but to call himself "the lowest general" in front of Xie Jingci.
Lu Wanyin immediately sat up straight: "Business is more important, General Ji, please take a seat."
Ji Mingtao walked over to Xie Jingci, took out two letters and handed them to him: "The army has sent people over again, and it seems they have found the clinic. They are still wandering around nearby. Should we take action?"
Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci looked at each other.
Judging from the situation in the court, the Wang family won’t be able to survive for much longer.
Hou Yuanji would not miss such a good opportunity.
However, the Wang family has already found a reason, so there is no need to be so persistent in finding Ji Mingtao.
The person who sent the order should be the emperor's men.
Lu Wanyin didn't know much about the war, so she didn't interrupt.
Xie Jingci pondered for a moment, then tapped the table with his fingertips. "General Ji, you haven't led troops for a long time, right? Since we're going to counterattack Dasheng, you should get familiar with the situation."
Lu Wanyin's gaze moved slightly following Xie Jingci's fingertips.
Every time he makes an important decision, he does this little trick.
Ji Mingtao was suppressed by the military supervisor and others. He had the title of a general but had no real power.
In addition, those people who are afraid of death only know how to retreat and dare not fight.
Normally, we just stop people coming from the wilderness.
It has been a long time since he led troops into battle.
Ji Mingtao sighed: "I... have disappointed the general."
"As long as the ability is still there, just pick it up again."
Xie Jingci took out a token from his bosom and said, "Since he wants to investigate, then you should leave Zizai City, bring 20,000 troops with you, and join me in clearing the wilderness first."
Ji Mingtao took the token in shock: "This is such an important task, I am terrified."
These are most of Xie Jingci's troops.
It was given to him so easily.
What kind of trust is this?
Ji Mingtao, who had been sidelined for so many years, once again felt the sense of being valued, and his heart was filled with excitement: "I will complete the mission at the cost of my life."
Xie Jingci chuckled: "I naturally believe in General Ji's ability."
Ji Mingtao took the sign and went out to mobilize troops with an excited look on his face.
Lu Wanyin snorted: "You are going out again"
Ji Mingtao was only put in charge of half, leaving another 10,000 troops.
He will probably have to do the remaining half himself.
Xie Jingci's expression was obviously nervous for a moment: "Madam, please come with me. I will take good care of you."
Lu Wanyin chuckled and couldn't help laughing: "Who wants to go with you? Isn't the business in my free city good?"
Xie Jingci was a little dumbfounded: "You..."
"We're not going to fight Dasheng, we're just preparing. What should I be worried about?"
Lu Wanyin poked his face and said, "Besides, I gave you so many chips. If there is any danger, I can take you away in an instant. Isn't this the same as going there?"
She must go there before the space is upgraded.
Xie Jingci didn't expect that Lu Wanyin would be so open-minded now.
He was nervous for nothing.
Lu Wanyin squeezed her hand and said, "When we go out this time, if possible, first wipe out those waves of bandits who complained to me. I'm a person who holds grudges."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
***
In the past few days, people in Zizai City have discovered one thing: the people mentioned above seem to rarely show up.
The number of soldiers under the city lord's command was also obviously much smaller.
The news leaked from the City Lord's Mansion was that as the City Lord, it was his duty to protect the people in the city.
He sent all those soldiers out to suppress bandits.
No one cared about this little thing; the people in the city were very busy.
Because the crops they planted last time grew very well, but it didn't rain in the wilderness after the few days of sowing, so they had to run a long way to fetch water.
The wilderness is dry and rainy, and sometimes it only rains a few times a year.
The nearest water source is the stream flowing through the cliffs of Zizai Peak.
You can only go back and forth once a day to fetch water from the back of the mountain, and you have to use a bullock cart to do it, which is really too tiring.
The comprehensive services provided by Zizaifeng's livestock management farm mean that these tenants no longer need to worry about the lives of their livestock.
The cow died of exhaustion, they didn't kill it directly, so they should be compensated.
Lu Wanyin came down the mountain to see Song Jiuning. As soon as she said hello, she was pulled over by her and complained for a long time.
"Look, the daily fodder requirements for our livestock have tripled recently, and several have collapsed from exhaustion. Wanyin, if those animals die from exhaustion, do we have to pay for them?"
That's a problem.
The wilderness is short of water and full of wind and sand. Even after the crops are grown, watering them is still a problem.
Lu Wanyin pondered for a moment: "Earth Two."
Di Er, who was still in the restaurant next door, climbed over the wall and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Put up a notice saying it will rain tonight, so those who are carrying water can go back."
Lu Wanyin held her chin up and looked at the cloudless sky: "Also, clean up the water in the moat in the next few days. The water in it is smelly."
No one knows when the moat outside the city and the stagnant water inside were created.
It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years.
After a long period of evaporation, the dark riverbed has been exposed.
It's okay when the weather is cold, but in two months when the temperature rises, it will be suffocating.
"yes."
Di Er didn't ask the reason and just took the order.
After Song Jiuning and the others left, he looked up at the sky curiously: "Although I don't know astronomy or geography, I can see that with the current weather, let alone today, there will be no rain in ten days or half a month."
