After stealing from Prince Sheng's mansion, Feng Yuheng seemed to be addicted to stealing. She always believed in revenge, and never let anyone who was her enemy off easily. But whipping back like before seemed a bit too rude. Now think about it, some people just remember to eat but not to be beaten. If you beat him, maybe the scar will heal after a while and forget the pain, but if you touch his money, it will be like taking his life, which is definitely more painful than skinning and pulling out the tendons. The Lu family is an example. Under the coercive suppression of the Yao family, all the businesses were ruined, and they ended up like this. What's the point of holding the position of left prime minister? The salary of a prime minister can't support that big family.
Feng Yuheng thought that although she couldn't steal everything and couldn't get the land deeds, it was still easy to empty a few warehouses. In the next few days, she would have to find a way to get a list of the Eighth Prince's party, especially those who shouted happily at the palace banquet that day. She had to pack them up one by one before she left, just as a way to pay for her travel from the capital to the fiefdom.
The treasury of Prince Sheng's Mansion was emptied, but the outside world didn't hear any news. Unless there were people who were interested in finding out, such as Xuan Tianming, other people didn't know that such a big thing had happened. Xuan Tianmo himself didn't want to make it public. After all, it was not a good thing. The treasury was emptied right under his nose, which only showed that the Prince Sheng's Mansion was not well guarded. From theft to transportation, a whole hub channel had spread to him, but he had no way of noticing. If such news was known by the officials in the power, it would have a great impact on his reputation and would also create a sense of insecurity for the officials. He could only investigate secretly, but after a few days of investigation, many people died, and he still knew nothing about what he wanted to know.
That night, Feng Yuheng went back to the space and started working, mainly testing the blood of Lu Yan and Lu Ping, as well as the blood swallow. The test results were consistent with her previous guess, and the blood swallow was indeed blatantly poisoned.
Feng Yuheng thought that the poison was so arrogant that he must have calculated that he was not afraid of someone outside to investigate, because there were too few channels to get the blood swallow, and it could only flow out of the palace at present. Those doctors outside, if they were prudent, would not dare to say this. But he did not expect that the Lu family would find Feng Yuheng, who had become his enemy, and Feng Yuheng also went to the Lu Mansion to see Lu Yan.
However, Feng Yuheng did not want to alert the enemy. First, Xuan Tianming was sure that the queen had no ill intentions. Second, she also wanted to see what the queen's ultimate goal was. It was impossible for her to attack Lu Yan for no reason and ruin the marriage she had helped to facilitate. To put it bluntly, this was just a small act against her. From the queen's point of view, this action was always thought-provoking.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year was the day Feng Yuheng had planned to go to the Lu residence. Going to see Lu Yan again was just an excuse. She had already arranged for a female doctor to give Lu Yan infusions and injections every day. Going to her house in person was just a cover, and her purpose was to give Lu Ping the injection.
In fact, for Lu Ping, the best cure is surgery, but she and Lu Ping are not very close, it is nothing more than a deal at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, there is no need to go to such trouble. Moreover, Lu Ping is treating this hidden disease because she does not want the Lu family to know. If the surgery requires a long period of recuperation, she is afraid that it will not be concealed.
The Lu family still greeted Feng Yuheng respectfully, and never mentioned the past events between the two families, as if nothing had happened, and they obviously regarded her as a benefactor. The female doctor did not come today, so she personally gave Lu Ping an injection and infusion, and then took advantage of the infusion time to give Lu Ping another injection. When everything was done and they were ready to leave, Lu Yan asked, "Do you have any clues about the person who harmed me?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "I can't really take care of this matter. Something happened at the palace banquet, so I can't enter the palace now. Even the Baicaotang in the capital will be forced to close. I will leave the capital and go to the fiefdom of Ji'an County before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Alas, Miss Lu, I also wanted to check it out, but these things piled up in one place. I was busy from morning to night and I was afraid that I was powerless." She raised her lips and smiled softly, pushing all the responsibilities away. Although the Lu family did not attend the palace banquet that day because Lu Yan was sick, they should have heard about it in these days. Although she did not point out who was making things difficult for her, Lu Song had been an official for many years, and he could still hear the obscurity here.
Sure enough, as soon as Feng Yuheng left, Lu Yan asked Lu Song what was going on. Lu Song reluctantly told him about the Eighth Prince and his gang causing trouble for Princess Ji'an, which made Lu Yan spit out blood again and fainted on the spot. Later, the Lu family analyzed that it should be Yuan Guiren who was behind this. As for the source of Lu Yan's poisoning, it was probably that Blood Swallow, but no one dared to say it. The things sent by the Queen came from the palace, and Yuan Guiren was in the palace. It was very likely that she bribed the palace maids of Jingci Palace where the Queen was, which led to Lu Yan's poisoning.
Ge secretly gritted her teeth and kept instigating a break between Concubine Lu Songyuan and the Eighth Prince's party, and looking for a chance to avenge her daughter. Lu Song was thinking that his daughter Lu Yan could no longer be saved, and the only hope for the Lu family was Lu Ping, but he didn't know if her illness could be cured.
The Lu family's affairs were just a channel for Feng Yuheng to find out the hidden hand in the palace. In addition, she had already done what she promised Lu Ping at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, so there was no need for her to enter the mansion again. Tomorrow, on the sixth day of the lunar month, was the day she and Xuan Tianming agreed to go to the camp outside Beijing together. As soon as she returned to the mansion, she immediately entered the medicine room, then entered the pharmacy space, moved the jewelry boxes on the first floor, moved out the space of the underground arsenal, and began to count the munitions inside.
If after the first month of the year, there really was trouble in the southern border as Xuan Tianming had predicted, then this war would definitely start. It was impossible for the army to take all the food and grass with them. Although there were reserves in the army on the other side, Xuan Tianming was going to take his own troops with him. Some of the people in the camp outside the capital would stay in Qianzhou, and the rest would go with him. In addition, Feng Zhaolian's 100,000 troops were not few in number, so the food reserves there might not be enough. Besides, those soldiers had followed the Eighth Prince for many years after all, and it was lucky that they didn't trip up Xuan Tianming this time. They couldn't count on anything at all. Since Xuan Tianming had the tiger talisman in his hand, he couldn't stop them from not working hard. If the reserve food and grass were to go wrong again, the battle would be extremely difficult.
She thought about it seriously. If Xuan Tianming could only rely on the troops he brought with him to fight, and the number of troops was too far behind that of the Desert Alliance, then he had to ensure the weapons. She always thought that she didn't want to see hot weapons appear too early in this era, but ideals were one thing, and when things were forced to this point, she had to reconsider. She couldn't let her own people suffer, and she couldn't watch Xuan Tianming and his troops fight against the enemy with fewer troops and get injured and die.
She sat cross-legged on the ground beside the armory, looking at the guns and ammunition, and she had a plan in mind. The submachine guns were suitable for such a large-scale war, and the small pistols could be given to Xuan Tianming for self-defense. She had given him one before, but he never brought it with him, and it was still stored in the space. This time he must bring it with him. Bullets must also be prepared in advance, and the quantity must be controlled and distributed to the camp in advance. She set out earlier than Xuan Tianming, so there was still some time, and the soldiers still had to practice.
Guns didn't need to be equipped to every soldier, and they were not easy to manage, so she decided to only equip the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Group in the Divine Machine Battalion. Although the Sharpshooter Group only had 500 people, in this era of cold weapons, the sudden appearance of 500 machine guns was also very shocking, not to mention that in addition to 500 guns, she would also equip the Tianji Group with bombs for arranging city defenses and strange formations.
Feng Yuheng firmly believed that with these preparations, although he could not boast that it was foolproof, it was really a foolish dream for the Desert Multinational Alliance to win against such a super-time and space armed force. At the same time, Xuan Tianming could also save a lot of effort and minimize casualties.
Of course, the management of guns and ammunition is of top priority. Currently, she does not intend to let anyone except Xuan Tianming and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp come into contact with these things. Just treat them as the mysterious weapons of the Shenji Camp. She will emphasize this matter to Xifang and He Gan again and again when she arrives at the camp tomorrow.
She slept well that night and got up at dawn the next day. After washing, she chose a neat outfit, which was one of her own designs. It was a bit like a riding suit, with a mink cloak at the back. Not only did it show her heroic appearance, but it was also not cumbersome. It was very suitable for a woman to move around in a place like a camp.
After breakfast, Huang Quan had some porridge and side dishes. "This New Year doesn't feel like the New Year. It doesn't have any New Year flavor. It's already the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the young lady hasn't even touched any oily food these days."
Wang Chuan also said: "We have to go to the main camp again. The food there is even worse."
Feng Yuheng laughed, "Yeah, I'm also craving for Xianyalou's pork elbows. Why don't we take the chef from the mansion with us when we go to the fiefdom, so we don't end up having nothing to eat when we want to."
This proposal was unanimously approved by the two girls, and Huang Quan even considered going to the shop in the capital that made the best pastries and poaching the pastry chef. Feng Yuheng said helplessly, "In your mind, is the fiefdom of Ji'an County a wasteland with nothing? Do we need to fetch some more well water from the capital?"
Huang Quan answered her seriously: "Although we won't bring well water to the capital, we will definitely need to dig wells there, and more than one."
Feng Yuheng shook her head, disagreeing with Huang Quan's idea, but Wangchuan was equally pessimistic. She told Feng Yuheng: "Miss, you don't know that few people in Dashun get fiefs. In our current dynasty, you are the first. Even Princess Wuyang doesn't have her own fief. Of course, the emperor has the power to delegate fiefs, but delegating fiefs is equivalent to delegating power. To put it bluntly, in the fiefdom, you are the emperor, so think about it, how could the emperor give you a rich place? Even if the emperor has that intention, the ministers will never agree. The reason why you got this fief so smoothly can only explain one fact - it is a barren land."
