This instant noodle is convenient to carry and store, and it doesn't spoil easily, saving a lot of transportation waste.
Moreover, it's delicious and easy to make. You can have a meal in less than 15 minutes. More importantly, you don't even need to bury the pot or light a fire. It's also very discreet because there's no smoke!
This means that the army's rest time is greatly reduced, and they can eat anytime and anywhere when they are hungry. After eating and drinking their fill, they can quickly get back into battle!
This isn't just military rations! It's practically a born war machine!
Zhao Lan's eyes widened; she didn't know how to describe the instant noodles.
The joy on her face was almost impossible to contain.
Qin Yu waved to An Fu and the others to take their things away. After everyone had left, Qin Yu smiled and looked at Zhao Lan.
"My beloved consort, I have fulfilled my promise to you. Now, shouldn't you keep your word and grant me one unconditional request?"
Zhao Lan was overjoyed, her pretty face beaming with excitement.
She was so happy that she completely forgot about it.
At this moment, Qin Yu felt that the room was a bit hot, and without thinking much about it, she took off her clothes.
Upon seeing this action, Zhao Lan was immediately terrified, her face turning pale and her cheeks burning.
What is this tyrannical ruler trying to do?
Sure enough, he couldn't shake his lecherous nature. Was he planning to use this as an excuse to make that kind of request to her directly?
Zhao Lan's face flushed red instantly, and she looked at Qin Yu warily with her beautiful eyes.
As soon as Qin Yu took off her clothes, she immediately felt much more comfortable and her body was no longer so hot.
"My beloved concubine, my request is..."
But before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Zhao Lan hurriedly interrupted him:
"No, no, Your Majesty, anything but this is acceptable. Please choose another request, otherwise I will absolutely not agree!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's expression froze; he hadn't even had a chance to speak yet.
Could it be that Zhao Lan already knows?
He planned to have her send the elite troops from Longxi to destroy the Beizhou iron mine.
This would alleviate the pressure on Zhang Tang's disaster relief efforts?
Qin Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, but finally said helplessly, "Just this once. At worst, I'll cooperate with you from behind."
What?! She's still a virgin, and this lustful, tyrannical ruler is already trying to...
Upon hearing these lewd words, Zhao Lan's face flushed even more.
One can only imagine the kind of torment her younger sister endured on her behalf.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lan gritted her teeth and said with shame and indignation, "No means no. At worst, I'll give you another million taels of silver."
She remembered that besides being lustful, this tyrant loved money the most.
But to everyone's surprise, Qin Yu shook his head directly, his tone already showing some displeasure.
"I don't want money this time."
His brow furrowed, and he said with some dissatisfaction:
"Money can't compare to what I want, my beloved concubine. I've already solved the problem of food supplies for 100,000 troops. Can't you even do that for this one time?"
Seeing that Qin Yu kept bringing up this matter, Zhao Lan felt increasingly ashamed and indignant, her cheeks burning.
How could this tyrant be so outspoken? Does he really want it that badly?
"Your Majesty! Don't even think about using this to blackmail me. At worst... at worst, I'll just give up the instant noodles!"
After saying that, she turned her head away in a huff, making an expression as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Yu.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu's face darkened, and he became angry as well.
"It was clearly something you promised me. How dare you deceive the emperor?"
"You tyrant! Is there anything else on your mind besides that? I will never agree to your condition! Forget about it!"
Zhao Lan looked up at Qin Yu, her head tilted back, her expression determined to never give in.
Moreover, her face was flushed, and there was a hint of water in her eyes; her expression was as strange as it could be.
Qin Yu was stunned. Wasn't it just sending some elite troops from Longxi to help her stab Sima Lie in the back in Youzhou? Why was she so angry, her face even turning red with rage?
No, could this woman have misunderstood?
Qin Yu asked suspiciously, "My beloved concubine, what kind of conditions do you think I am going to propose?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan's face turned even redder, and she gave a cold snort.
"Besides mentioning those conditions for a 'colorful embryo', what else can you mention?"
Qin Yu's face immediately darkened, and his lips twitched.
Goodness, no wonder something felt off; it turns out it was all a misunderstanding.
Qin Yu explained speechlessly, "I intend for you to send an elite force to raid the iron mine in the Northern Continent."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan's delicate body trembled, as if she couldn't believe her ears!
She looked at Qin Yu with some surprise and asked uncertainly, "Didn't His Majesty want... want that matter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Lan's face involuntarily turned red again.
"Of course not!"
Qin Yu said irritably, "I want you to help me launch a surprise attack on the Northern Continent Iron Mine."
Zhao Lan was immediately stunned, and she didn't react for a moment.
"Why...why did you launch a sneak attack on the Northern Continent Iron Mine?"
Qin Yu said matter-of-factly, "The Beizhou Iron Mine is extremely important to Sima Lie. If the sneak attack is successful, Sima Lie will inevitably be unable to extricate himself, and the pressure on Zhang Tang will be much less."
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Zhao Lan's eyes.
However, she had already anticipated this; this tyrannical emperor was probably already unwilling to be controlled by Sima Lie.
Therefore, at this moment, he also wanted to break free from Sima Lie's control.
However, Zhao Lan felt that Qin Yu was somewhat naive.
Zhao Lan shook her head and frowned, saying, "Your Majesty, I must remind you that the Beizhou Iron Mine is heavily guarded and personally managed by Sima Lie's second son, Sima Xiongdao. It is not so easy to destroy it."
Qin Yu naturally knew about this, and he waved his hand, saying:
"Of course I understand that whether it succeeds or not is not important to me; what's important is that the momentum must be great!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan was taken aback again.
What does that mean?
She was about to say something more when she heard Qin Yu say lecherously, "If this condition is too difficult to meet, then let's find an easier one! I guarantee that you can complete it simply by lying down and not moving."
Zhao Lan's face flushed red instantly. Of course she knew what the condition was that could be met by lying down and not moving!
She glared at Qin Yu, feeling both ashamed and indignant.
"You wish! Fine, I promise you, within three days, the Northern Continent Iron Mine will be shaken to its core." Zhao Lan said with a light snort.
Qin Yu was immediately satisfied.
"In that case, I await your good news."
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and left with a flourish.
Zhao Lan only realized what had happened after he had walked away.
This tyrant actually left so decisively; it seems I really did misunderstand him.
...
The next morning.
Dragon flags fluttered and horns sounded in unison before Xuanhua Gate in the capital!
It was the day Zhang Tang, as the imperial envoy for disaster relief, was to depart for the disaster area.
Five thousand carefully selected elite soldiers were on standby at the scene. In addition, Zhang Tang also brought a hundred guards from his mansion. The commander was eight feet tall, burly and strong. He was Da Hu, a servant who had been a guard in the Zhang family for more than ten years!
These hundred men were all slaves in the Zhang household for generations, and they were all loyal to Zhang Tang!
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
With a loud shout, Zhang Tang led everyone to mount their horses.
