From a distance, the military camps of both countries were filled with smoke. The aroma of stews and barbecues even overwhelmed the lingering smell of barbecue from the battlefield during the day, filling the air with such gusto that if one didn't know the truth, one would have thought the two countries were holding a large-scale banquet...
But Lin Hai in the tent did not have the leisure time like Chen Yu to give a public speech. He was worried about the person kneeling in the hall.
"Tell me, how did you get him here? He's so old, he should have retired long ago. Could it be that he works for Chen Dynasty and collects his pension from me?"
Lin Hai complained to Chen Fan beside him.
"Your Majesty, this is all coincidence, coincidence..."
After putting on makeup, Chen Fan put on a skirt and achieved the achievement of outshining all the other beauties. Even Xue Wuxia couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Can't you change your clothes?"
"Oh, this is comfortable to wear. Anyway, the Intelligence Department doesn't have a special uniform..."
Speaking of which, Zhou Shangwen's arrival was really the result of, oh no, a series of coincidences.
The officer who went out to search for and capture the stick man originally had a mission, which was to search for pearls scattered among the people for his superiors.
The word "Mingzhu" was actually coined by Wei Chun. After all, he was a scholar, so he used a more euphemistic term.
The order the officers received was very simple: find women for the adults above you, young and beautiful. Remember the preferences of each adult, and find at least three for each adult. If there are any extras, hand over half to you and you can deal with the other half yourself!
So during that period, the adults in Dachen looked quite listless. Of course, this was all because they were worried about state affairs.
Actually, the prince also knew about this matter, but he didn't want to interfere.
After all, they were away from home for months at a time, and families were not allowed to accompany them. Military officers were a bit better off; if they couldn't help themselves, they could just go to the training grounds and throw stones to train their strength. But what about the civil servants? They couldn't just train their left hands (or right hands?) after a year of fighting, right?
So just find some women. As long as it doesn’t spread and doesn’t affect the war, it’s harmless.
As for what to do after returning from the war?
It's easy to handle. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already made up his mind that he would never let his ministers have a fire in their backyard, so once the war is over, these women will be dealt with uniformly. They will either be placed in the Jiaofangsi, sold, or rewarded to meritorious soldiers. In short, they will not be taken back.
And in the end, it seemed that except for the first one or two days, everyone's energy and spirits recovered quickly, so the prince had no intention of pursuing the matter. At the beginning, it was a bit novel, but then it gradually got better. Men understand.
As for the fact that the ministers were secretly passing on the "Qinghe Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup", he was completely unaware of it, and it was even more impossible for him to know that someone named So-and-so was even making this soup for these ministers in his military camp.
The above operations seem to be completely fine - it is impossible.
As the saying goes, one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people. Although they tried their best to snatch, or no, to persuade the beauties to come, which made most of the lords very satisfied, Lord Zhou Shangwen, who was in charge of the staff and was appointed as the Prince's tutor, was very dissatisfied and never even accepted the people they sent.
This made the officer in charge think that Zhou Shangwen was a true gentleman with high moral character - or perhaps it was because he was old and really had no power to do anything.
But that's not right. If Lord Zhou were a good man, why would he appear in the court of Dachen?
This is unreasonable!
After spending a large sum of money to bribe Mr. Zhou's personal servant, he only got one piece of information, that is, when Mr. Zhou got up in the morning, his crotch was bulging!
That means Mr. Zhou is capable, he can do it, he can do it!
So there is only one possibility left, that is, Lord Zhou, who has seen the world, looks down on these vulgar women.
So more troops were sent out, and the search team even entered the mountains and went to a small village that had not been visited for hundreds of years, just to find a beautiful woman that Lord Zhou liked. They even found two strongholds of the Qinghe Intelligence Department in the valley, and the two sides had a big fight.
Finally, in a small mountain village that seemed like a paradise, the officer met the woman named Chen Peng.
Under coercion and inducement, Miss Chen Peng finally agreed to the officer's request that she would go back with him as long as he did not harm the people in the village.
To be honest, the officer remained calm and rational by constantly pinching his thighs. Otherwise, he would never have been willing to hand such a woman over to the old man named Zhou.
That night, under the hospitality of the officer, Mr. Zhou, with a frown on his face, reluctantly accepted Chen Peng.
“Ah~~~~Oh~~~~”
The people in Qinghe were peeling melon seeds while their eyes sparkled as they asked, "What happened next? You..."
"What are you thinking about!" Chen Fan smiled charmingly, instantly charming everyone.
Sure enough, he must be a boy if he looks so good...
What a pity...
Well, not that bad...
Everyone thought to themselves.
"Now that I'm inside the tent, there's no escape. This old man refuses to drink, and I can't get him drunk. I can only tell him that I'm actually a man, so my presence is pointless. Please let me go."
Chen Fan said shyly.
"Then what?"
Shi Zhener, who asked the question, said that girls seem to like similar plots more.
"He was delighted when he heard that. He became more and more excited, saying things like, 'Boys are better. A boy this good-looking must be very smooth.'"
