late at night.
Xiao Jingzhou sat in the tent, with an incandescent outdoor lamp placed on the edge of the desk, illuminating the map of the Seven Kingdoms on the table.
Lu Chen came into the account and sent a midnight snack.
He said, "Your Highness, don't stay up too late. We have to travel tomorrow morning."
Xiao Jingzhou smelled the aroma of meat: "What are you cooking?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Cook beef jerky with rice."
"This was all Miss Jiang's idea. She said that marching meals are convenient, but not very tasty.
The Zihaiguo is delicious, but he is worried that we will get sick from eating it. ”
When Xiao Jingzhou heard that it was Jiang Zhenyu's idea, he couldn't help but smile.
He didn't want Lu Chen to notice, so he turned his face to the side and smiled secretly, his eyes full of pride.
...
...
After Lu Chen left, Xiao Jingzhou held the bowl and drank beef rice.
He really missed her and wished he could be by her side right away.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that because his great task was not yet accomplished.
The next day, the army ate some dry food and started on their journey.
Xiao Jingzhou was wearing armor, riding a big horse, and looked very majestic.
In the hot summer, the refugees have ripped away all the vegetation, and after the rain, only a thin layer of grass covers the ground.
Near noon, Xiao Jingzhou raised his hand, and Lu Chen called on the entire army to rest.
Lu Chen rode back on horseback, his forehead was covered with sweat and his collar was soaked with sweat.
He dismounted, handed the reins to the soldier, and walked over to Xiao Jingzhou to complain.
"Your Highness, the weather is getting hotter and hotter."
"The soldiers are a little overwhelmed."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Wait a little longer."
Lu Chen was puzzled: "What are you waiting for?"
…
21st century.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Jiang Zhenyu wished he could stay in his villa and enjoy the air conditioning and not go anywhere.
She leaned on the sofa, holding half a watermelon, taking a spoonful at a time. It was sweet and juicy.
This is the watermelon from the farm. Mr. Zhang specifically asked Hins Cheung to deliver it to the villa.
Nowadays, the watermelons produced on farms are becoming more and more high-quality, and such good quality ones are not cheap in fruit stores.
Uncle Zhang told her that the watermelon harvest was good this year.
Jiang Zhenyu thought of Da Jingjun traveling day and night, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so she bought electrolyte water and functional drinks and was on the way.
The only thing that could be delivered was a big watermelon.
She asked Uncle Zhang to buy some watermelons for her, and she would take as many as the nearby watermelon farmers had.
Strive to deliver a fixed amount of goods to the logistics park every day.
Xiao Jingzhou and his men are getting closer and closer to the capital, and there will be more and more refugees.
There is enough food in the mind space, but distributing it to the refugees cannot guarantee that they will not suffer from sepsis.
Watermelon rind is a fruit or vegetable after all. Washing it, cutting it into shreds and cooking it can also be considered a vitamin supplement.
She also bought Chinese cabbage and frozen meat.
Jiang Zhenyu thought to himself that even if the people saw the food, they would fully support Xiao Jingzhou.
What's more, the throne of the current 'Emperor Dajing' is of illegitimate origin.
It is only natural for Xiao Jingzhou to take back what belongs to him.
Jiang Zhenyu burped halfway through his meal.
The cell phone on the coffee table vibrated and then rang.
She put the watermelon down, wiped her hands with a piece of paper, and picked up the phone to answer it.
"Mr. Jiang, the watermelons have arrived."
Jiang Zhenyu put on her slippers and walked towards the entrance, saying, "I understand."
She picked up the car keys and went out to pick up the car to go to the logistics park.
…
Lu Chen waited for an incense stick of time, but he didn't know what he was waiting for.
He looked at Xiao Jingzhou with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Highness, what are we waiting for?"
Lu Chen guessed that Jiang Zhenyu was sending something, but since Xiao Jingzhou didn't say anything, he didn't say much.
Lu Heng patted his head and said with a smile: "Just wait if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Dealing with escorts for many years, Lu Heng has also acquired a lot of ruffian qualities.
If it weren't for this, Xiao Jingzhou would not have been deceived in the first place.
After another stick of incense, Xiao Jingzhou stood up suddenly: "Here they come!"
Xiao Jingzhou jumped on his horse and walked along the area where the soldiers were resting.
He waved his hand, and a pile of watermelons appeared in an instant.
The soldiers had water in their hands, so they were not thirsty.
But when they looked at the watermelons, they had no desire to eat them.
In their eyes, watermelon is a medicine that is diuretic and bitter.
Even so, there are still warriors who want to be the first to eat the crab.
Tang cut the watermelon horizontally with a knife, and the red flesh was exposed, which looked appetizing.
The soldiers who were close by looked at the watermelon cut in half with curiosity.
Suddenly, someone started to exclaim.
"It's different! This melon is different!"
"Come on, give me a piece to try."
The soldiers holding Tang swords divided the watermelon evenly in no time.
He took a piece first and put it in his mouth and bit it.
A sip of juice, the tip of the tongue is immediately stained with a sweet taste.
He finished one piece in one breath, then took another one and continued eating.
Seeing his expression, everyone knew what he was talking about and started to draw their knives to chop the watermelon.
"sweet!"
“This melon is actually sweet!”
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
Xiao Jingzhou turned back and the soldiers all had watermelons to eat.
Lu Chen kept one big watermelon and distributed the rest.
Lu Heng stretched out his hand several times, but was stopped by Lu Chen each time.
Lu Chen glared at him and said, "Let Your Highness have a taste first."
After saying that, he presented the cut watermelon to Xiao Jingzhou as if he was offering a treasure.
After Xiao Jingzhou took a piece of watermelon, Lu Chen took away the entire plate of watermelon.
He said flatteringly: "Second brother, these are all yours, His Highness will not compete with you for them."
Xiao Jingzhou had no expression. He took a bite of the watermelon and thought to himself: In the future, he will also plant sweet watermelons on the land in Dajing.
Let the people all accept this.
…
Dajing, the capital city.
Emperor Dajing fell off the dragon throne.
Eunuch Yuan was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, but he still had to use all his strength to help Emperor Jing up.
Emperor Dajing pointed at the person who reported the news and said with great sorrow, "Can you say it again?"
"How is Xiao Jingzhou leading the troops?"
The people in the hall knelt on one knee, their lips turning pale.
He said, "The deposed crown prince led his troops into the capital, flying a banner with the word Xiao on it."
"Your Majesty, the deposed crown prince is leading his troops in rebellion!"
Emperor Dajing's eyes widened and his face turned red with anger.
He stamped his feet and cursed: "Rebellious son, damn rebellious son!"
"I shouldn't have been so merciful in the first place. If Lord Zhang wanted to kill him, he should have died sooner!"
Eunuch Yuan waved his hand, and the people kneeling in the hall retreated.
Emperor Jing said: "Pass on my order to kill the man who deposed the crown prince. I will appoint him as the regent king!"
There has been no regent since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty.
This is a precedent-setting beginning, and one can imagine the importance of the Regent.
Eunuch Yuan hurriedly prepared to draft an edict.
The Great Emperor was so hungry that he could not stand. He said, "Tell someone to bring another bowl of water."
All the food in the capital was taken away by Zhang Ge Lao, and the refugees ate all the vegetation around the capital, like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind.
The well in the palace also dried up, leaving only a river outside the city.
In the hot summer, people bathe, wash clothes, smelly shoes and dung buckets in the river.
Emperor Jing was quite old, and after drinking the water from the river, he had to squat and go to the toilet countless times.
Whenever he saw the river, he couldn't help feeling nauseous.
But he was hungry, so he could only drink it with his eyes closed.
On the other hand, Xiao Jingzhou ordered the soldiers to peel a thin layer of the watermelon after eating, cut it into shreds, dry it, and save it as food.
The soldiers all exclaimed that the watermelon was really delicious.
It can not only relieve heat, but also be used for cooking.
