Chapter 303 Seriously Injured
"When I rescued him, he was already seriously injured..."
Li Li seemed to be having difficulty speaking. "Although I am a princess... but this year is a drought, and I can't let anyone find him. I am also powerless..."
Jiang Tangtang looked at her attire and felt that it was more plain than the young ladies of the wealthy families in the capital. She couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't the general not only undermined the power of the royal family, but also treated you harshly, even in terms of food and clothing?"
Li Li quickly shook her head, "I just couldn't bear to see the people starve to death... It has nothing to do with the general."
Jiang Tangtang thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.
Based on what she had learned these days, Nan'an Kingdom was not only small in area, but its agriculture and commerce were also much more backward than that of the Great Zhou.
The royal family of Nan'an naturally cannot be compared with the luxury of the Great Zhou.
What's more, Nan'an is in a special situation, and the power is in the hands of General Yun Mo.
Although she had been mentally prepared, Jiang Tangtang was still shocked by Lu Shili's condition when she saw him.
Lu Shili was injured all over his body. Although the wounds were treated, I don’t know if it was because the doctors here were not good enough or what, but the wounds were not treated well.
The wound had become inflamed, Lu Shili was running a high fever, and had long lost consciousness.
Jiang Tangtang quickly took out a lot of good medicine from the space under the cover of clothes and fed it to him as if it were free.
With the good medicine in the space, Jiang Tangtang didn't worry about his safety. But Lu Shili had a serious leg injury, and because he hadn't taken good anti-inflammatory measures, the flesh in the wound had begun to rot.
In addition, he had injured his leg before, and she was worried that improper treatment would affect his future walking.
Even if we put aside the relationship as her brother-in-law, he is still a capable general under her command, and she cannot bear to see him ruined like this.
So, he said, "I'll take my second brother back to find Doctor Xue first, and you stay to handle the rest of the matters."
"No need, just let Zhou Lei stay and handle the rest of the matters." Lu Shiyan had already dealt with the former generals and confidants of Nan'an Kingdom. Nan'an was already under their control. He felt that Zhou Lei could handle the rest of the matters.
"That's fine." Jiang Tangtang said, "After we get back, I'll send a group of people to assist Zhou Lei."
She hasn't forgotten about growing sea rice.
When Li Li heard that they were leaving, she hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Madam, can I go with you?"
Jiang Tangtang hadn't expected her to suggest going with them. With a scrutinizing look, he looked between her and Lu Shili and said, "You're going with us, but where's your brother?"
"Can my brother go with me?" Li Li thought very clearly. When Yun Mo controlled the government and undermined the power of the entire royal family, she and her siblings could not resist, let alone the country in front of them with a powerful army.
Instead of making unnecessary sacrifices, it is better to seize the opportunity and find a way out for the two siblings.
Jiang Tangtang looked at her and said, "This is your country. You just want to give it up? Can you let it go? Will your brother agree?"
Will they wait until the little emperor grows up and then seek revenge on them to take back the country?
She didn't want to bring such trouble back to Lingnan.
Although Li Li saved Lu Shili, one thing is one thing, at worst, she can repay him when he wakes up.
Li Li bowed deeply to Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan and said, "My brother and I are both incapable. Even with Nan'an under our control, we haven't been able to provide a good life for the people. It's better to hand the people over to the general and madam than to us. Madam, don't worry, my brother is also willing and has no regrets."
Jiang Tangtang went to see Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan knew Jiang Tangtang's worries, but he didn't take it to heart. Even if he brought the little emperor of Nannan back to Lingnan, he was not afraid that he would seek revenge on him when he grew up.
He still has this confidence.
He gave his wife a soothing look, then looked at Li Li and returned to his cold demeanor. "If you want to go, just follow me!"
"Thank you, General!" Li Li bowed to Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan again to express her gratitude.
Perhaps she had thought about this day since she was stripped of her power by General Yun Mo.
She doesn't have too much hatred now.
Since Lu Shiyan had made the decision, Jiang Tangtang didn't say anything more. She ordered people to make a simple stretcher and had Lu Shili carried onto the boat. Lu Shiyan called Zhou Lei over and announced that he would leave Nan'an first and leave the rest of the matters to him.
In addition, most of the soldiers they brought with them, except for the wounded, remained in Nan'an.
The other half escorted the prisoners and followed them back to Lingnan.
After these captives from Nan'an were brought back to Lingnan, they would disrupt the organization with the soldiers of Lingnan and eventually become part of Lingnan's military force.
Many soldiers in Nan'an felt uneasy about leaving their familiar hometown and going to an unfamiliar place.
But when the ship's cooks began to distribute the food, all the anxiety turned into satisfaction.
Now they have become part of Lingnan and are no longer treated differently in terms of food. They eat the same food as the soldiers on the ship.
On the day they defeated Nan'an, Jiang Tangtang ordered people to take out the pickled shark meat and hold a celebration banquet.
The soldiers found the shark meat marinated in fruit wine so delicious that they didn't want to throw away the remaining sauce. The soldiers who stayed on the boat would occasionally cast a net, catch fish and shrimp, and put them in a large vat to marinate.
Although it was the second sauce left over from marinating the shark meat, the cook on the ship cooked it today and it still tasted as good.
These soldiers from Nan'an felt that they had never eaten such delicious fish in their lives.
The fish had no fishy smell at all and even had a faint aroma of fruit wine. Many soldiers from Nan'an were reluctant to even throw away the fish bones, instead chewing on them to savor the flavor.
Not to mention the Nan'an soldiers who had never seen the world, even Li Li and Li Yu, two members of the royal family, were shocked after eating the food on the ship.
A meal cooked casually by a cook on the ship turned out so delicious, their hometown must be a very wealthy place!
Because the fish tasted so good, the soldiers didn't want to waste time and wanted to catch more fish while going out to sea.
Jiang Tangtang naturally wouldn't stop her.
Not only will we not stop it, we will also strongly support it.
Although the capture of Nan'an has increased a large amount of sea rice cultivation land, the sea rice has not yet been planted and the rice has not yet been harvested. However, we have to support tens of thousands more troops, and the consumption of this war will undoubtedly make the food shortage situation in Lingnan even more serious.
Sometimes Jiang Tangtang would even take the lead in fishing.
After fishing a few times and catching nothing but ordinary harmful fish, she felt itchy again and couldn't help but throw a few spiritual fish and shrimps into the sea as bait.
Unexpectedly, this time we provoked another big guy.
