After two breaths of silence, Chen Li nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely bring you along when I do this kind of thing next time."
Pei Yu shook his head helplessly, knowing that he wouldn't agree so readily. If he did, he would still be a little skeptical.
"Okay, take me with you next time and I'll test the poison for you."
Chen Li: "No, Your Majesty's life is precious, how can you use it to test poison for me?"
"Ali, I have no relatives in this world. You are the one I care about the most. I am willing to test poison for you and die for you."
Shen Qingyuan, who was behind them, heard the two people's disgusting words, and silently quickened his pace with the crab in his hand to overtake them.
Chen Li held Pei Yu's hand in return, "Ah Yu, you said I am everything to you, I am very happy, but there are still many beautiful things in this world, you should go and see more, don't say such depressing words next time."
"Okay, we'll go watch it together later."
"Um."
"Then let Mo Qing test the poison."
Since Ali is reluctant to come herself, why not let Mo Xiaohua, the miracle doctor, come?
Mo Qing: Listen to me, I am blessed to have you.
Hearing him say such irrelevant words, Chen Li was silent for a long while. After Mo Qing knew about it, he must have wanted to kill Pei Yu.
Soon they arrived at the spacious room, which was filled with the aroma of mutton soup. Chen Li also smelled a hint of pepper.
“Who added pepper?”
Pepper is more expensive and in greater demand in coastal areas.
"I asked someone to buy it. Ali paved the way for me, so I naturally can't be stingy."
"Well, Your Majesty is generous."
General Yang invited the two of them to the front seat, then spoke a lot in full voice, and then everyone started eating. There were only a few people here, and some of them lived outside, so the space was limited and could not accommodate so many people.
Soon, the area in front of Chen Li and Pei Yu was filled with mutton soup, which was full of mutton. There was also a bonfire in front of them with roasted mutton on it.
The roasted lamb was roasted to a golden color, sizzling with oil, and looked very tempting.
General Yang held up a bowl of mutton soup and said, "General Mo, I don't drink alcohol on my duty day. I can only offer a bowl of mutton soup to the prince and the county lady."
Chen Li and Pei Yu picked up the wine bowls in front of them. Yes, they were wine bowls. Most people in the army drank with bowls, so Chen Li and Pei Yu followed the local customs.
"You're welcome, General."
After drinking, they sat down to eat. There were quite a few generals in the army, more than twenty of them, and these were the ones with higher military ranks. Together with Chen Li and the other two, they kept half a roasted whole lamb and distributed the rest to the people below.
Shen Jingyuan didn't eat roasted whole lamb today. After asking Shen Li how to eat crabs, he ate most of the crabs cooked by Shen Li and couldn't stop at all.
Later, General Yang and the old military doctor saw that he was eating with relish, so they shamelessly asked for one to try.
After observing Shen Jingyuan for a while, they had already learned the steps, and they started eating crabs clumsily.
After eating a crab, General Yang sighed, "The county lady is truly knowledgeable. We are so ignorant that we didn't even know crabs were so delicious."
Chen Li: "General, you are too kind."
In other words, General Yang didn't know the situation of the Shen family, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say that he was knowledgeable.
But what he said was indeed true. Wasn't I well-informed and experienced?
The party lasted for an hour before everyone dispersed. The next day, all of Pei Yu's men were present.
In the afternoon, General Yang led everyone to stand on the beach. The wind was light today and the sun was shining, making them feel warm on their bodies.
"Ayu, where is this boat?"
Pei Yu pointed in a direction and said, "It should be over there. It will be here soon."
General Yang: "Hahaha, Your Highness is right. The shipbuilding site is over there. The ship will be here in a quarter of an hour."
Before long, hundreds of large ships appeared on the calm sea, and those small boats gradually grew larger from tiny shadows.
Chen Li was also surprised when he saw the ship. Being able to build such a large ship was considered cutting-edge technology in that era.
Judging from the appearance, one boat can accommodate about 500 people.
Looking at it this way, the number is indeed quite large, but isn’t it a little too little?
Pei Yu saw her expression and knew what she was thinking. He explained, "These are just the court's ships. We also secretly requisitioned some commercial ships, which are not included here."
Chen Li nodded, and she understood.
"Ayu, when are we leaving?"
Pei Yu looked at the sea, his eyes filled with determination. "Supplies from the imperial court will arrive tomorrow, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
Then he looked at Chen Li, his eyes becoming gentle again, "Ali, do you need anything? Go and prepare it quickly in the next two days, otherwise you won't be able to get it when you're on the sea."
Chen Li nodded, "I understand. I'll go to the nearby town to buy it tomorrow. You don't need to accompany me. I know you're very busy."
Pei Yu held her hand tightly. To have a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?
Soon the boat stopped on the beach. The scene was spectacular and magnificent. Fortunately, there was no village nearby, otherwise, this scene would have attracted countless people to watch.
Chen Li and Pei Yu were lucky enough to board the ship early and wandered around the ship.
Finally, standing on the deck, Chen Li looked at the vast sea and said, "The day we set sail will be the day to conquer this beautiful land."
"Yes, Ali is right. Our Beiyan will be the most powerful country."
Shen Li looked at him, and the two smiled at each other. Shen Jingyuan, who was behind him, was excited and his blood was boiling when he heard it.
The next morning, Chen Li got up early and went to the nearby town. The weather had been good recently, and there were many more pedestrians in the town.
The main thing is to buy some clothes. I don’t bring many clothes on this trip, so I’ll prepare some miscellaneous things so that it won’t be a surprise if I take something out of the space when the time comes.
Chen Li bought four sets of cotton-padded jackets and five sets of spring clothes. There is no water resource on the sea, so water must be saved as much as possible. If you don’t bring more clothes, they will go bad after wearing them for a while!
If conditions permit, Chen Li will not treat herself badly.
He bought a lot of long-lasting snacks and rode back on horseback. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the town, he encountered a few petty thieves who blocked the road.
"I'm in a good mood today and don't want to fight. Get out of the way and I won't punish you."
There were a few petty thieves recorded. They were not very old, with sunken cheeks and thin bodies, and tattered clothes. They looked very poor.
"You can get out of the way, but we manage this road. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay a toll."
Chen Li: "This is an official road, can you be any more outrageous?"
After being confronted by her, several people lost a lot of their courage, but seeing that she bought so many things, they still mustered up the courage to say:
"No, you can't. You have to leave money to pass through."
