The woman was so excited that she could not calm down easily. She wanted to thank her benefactor, but she could not find him.
Xie Ruiyuan walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Qingxuan went to see the prefect, but he didn't dare to stay and just came here. As a result, he saw his master vomiting blood.
"Master, have you used your inner strength? Come on, I'll carry you."
Xie Ruiyuan wiped the blood off his lips with a handkerchief and said calmly, "It's okay, let's go."
"yes."
That night, Xie Ruiyuan suffered another attack of the poison. Qingxuan prepared some medicine to suppress the cold poison, but this time the poison was so strong that even the medicine could not suppress it.
Xie Ruiyuan spent the entire night in a world of ice and fire. It was difficult for him to make it to dawn. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
"Has Qingxi arrived?"
"Master, not yet. The carrier pigeon brought news that it will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"Well, step back."
"yes."
When the room was empty, Xie Ruiyuan forced himself to handle official business, even coughing from time to time.
Thinking about the 200,000 troops under his command, who consumed a large amount of food and grass every day, and the fact that they would need cotton clothes when the cold winter came in two or three months, he felt a bit of a headache.
Outsiders thought that as the legitimate son of the Empress and also being named Prince of Chen, he was powerful and had everything he wanted, so it was impossible for him to be short of money.
In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty had been in decline for many years. Even though he was favored by the emperor, he had been living a tight life since he went to the military camp.
The national treasury was empty and could not allocate military pay, so he could only find ways to supplement the funds. However, the amount of food and fodder required for an army of 200,000 was not a small amount.
Even though he had countless assets and earned a lot of money, the country's agriculture and economy were too backward. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy much, especially scarce items such as food and cotton clothes.
This time, the floods in the south displaced countless people of the surname Qi. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he would definitely not issue an order to resettle them.
After receiving the news, he ignored the cold and rushed to the south without stopping. However, if the people were pushed into a desperate situation, civil unrest would be inevitable.
He had just attacked Xiliang back to his hometown. If Xiliang got the news, they would definitely not let go of this great opportunity.
While Xie Ruiyuan was worrying about military pay and cotton clothes, Qingxi was riding his horse at full speed.
"Yu~"
After running all day, the horse was exhausted. Even if he was anxious to get to his master quickly, he had to give the horse time to rest.
"Okay, take a break."
Qingxi patted the horse and told it to go eat some grass and drink some water. He found a clean place to sit down and couldn't wait to open the package given by Li Mengyue. He took out two large pancakes he had prepared, opened the bottle of meat sauce, skillfully spread the meat sauce on the pancakes, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Thinking that he had not thought about not wanting the package before, he wanted to slap himself twice. How could he push away such delicious meat sauce? It was a pity that there was not enough.
There were other food wrapped in packages, which he ate up, leaving two bottles of meat sauce. He opened one and ate it with the flatbread, feeling very happy.
When Qingxi thought about when she would be able to eat meat sauce again, she didn't dare to eat too much and decided to eat only a little at a time.
After eating and drinking his fill and resting for two hours, Qingxi rode on his horse again.
Li Mengyue locked the door and prepared to go to the academy to pick up her brother from school.
Just as I walked out of an alley, I saw a familiar figure flash by.
[Host, this is Zhu Sijin. You asked me to locate and mark him before.]
【Who is Zhu Sijin? 】
