What Feng Yuheng said about relying on was really relying on. It was not until she brought something behind her that people realized that Princess Ji'an had been carrying something behind her. It was just that the thing was wrapped in cloth, so no one could tell what it was. When they saw her opening the fine cloth, they all took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp!
It was a bow, with a body carved from ancient black jade, a string made of ice cicada, and inlaid with multi-colored gems. It was shiny all over, and there seemed to be a ball of light mist covering it. It was so shiny that people could not take their eyes away after looking at it.
They were all soldiers who had fought on the battlefield, and they all had some understanding of bows and arrows. They knew what a fine bow was, what a good bow was, what a bow that a general usually used, and they had even studied the sharpshooting team of the Divine Machine Battalion under the Ninth Prince in private. But when this bow appeared in front of them, everyone was stunned.
Feng Yuheng's voice came again - "This thing is called Houyi Bow, it is a sacred object of Dashun, made of ancient black cold jade, weighing 186 kilograms. The founding emperor of Dashun used this bow to shoot the enemy's head, laying the foundation of Dashun. Since then, Emperor Taizu has issued an order that anyone who obtains this bow, regardless of gender, can freely enter and leave the Dashun military camps, assist the generals in commanding the three armies, and help the emperor pacify the world! What do you think, is this princess qualified to enter the South Camp here?"
These words shocked the entire army.
Hou Yi's bow, even if they had never seen it, they had definitely heard of it. In addition, they had long heard that the emperor had given the Hou Yi bow to Princess Ji'an. When the logistics deputy general Tong accused Feng Yuheng of not entering the military camp, some people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't remember it for a while. Now they remembered that Princess Ji'an was the one holding the Hou Yi bow, so what right did the Tong have to prevent her from entering and leaving the camp?
With the deterrence of Hou Yi's bow, no one dared to say anything more. Feng Yuheng saw that the deterrence had achieved the expected effect, so he stopped dwelling on it. Some things should be stopped at a certain point, and there is no need to keep stalemate. If these people can't figure out such a reason, if they still can't figure out their position after this time, then there is really no need to stay in the Biannan camp and waste the military establishment.
She held the Houyi bow in her hand and continued, "In fact, the grain and grass transported from the capital were robbed, and His Highness the Ninth Prince was more anxious than you. Although the whole story has been found out and the cloth shop in Lanzhou has been seized, the grain has been destroyed by Fan and can never be recovered. In order to prevent you from starving and to ensure that you have food to eat, the Ninth Prince took out a large amount of silver from his own pocket and asked this princess to go to Lanzhou and Luotian Prefecture to purchase it personally. The grain will be delivered in less than two hours. Tell me, you didn't ask the reason clearly and just followed suit. Have you ever thought about how cold His Highness the Ninth Prince would be if this matter got to his ears? Do you know how much money is needed to feed 300,000 troops? If you don't believe me, this princess can grant you leave. You can go to Luotian Prefecture to ask if this princess has been purchasing grain and grass these days, and if she has also ordered grain from a large number of farmers to send it here regularly, and if she has even ordered enough vegetables and meat for you!"
These words made the faces of these men even redder, and they lowered their heads one by one, blaming themselves. Feng Yuheng's words were tantamount to slapping them in the face. These big and strong men were too ignorant. There was nothing they could do about the food being robbed. The Ninth Prince paid for their food out of his own pocket, but they didn't know what was good for them and made trouble here. They were also instigated by the remnants of the Eighth Prince and almost rebelled. Is this what human beings do?
Someone said in frustration, "We were too impulsive. The princess is right. We are fence-sitters. No matter what master we are, he will not like us. It is not easy for His Majesty the Ninth Prince to tolerate us for so long. If we continue like this, we will be cutting off our own retreat. If we get hurt one day, we can't blame others."
Someone took the lead in saying this, and others also expressed the same idea. They all knew they were wrong and hoped that Princess Ji'an would give them another chance. From now on, they must stand firm and never follow others' ideas. Someone even said, "General Xifang has been here these days, and some brothers who followed His Highness the Ninth Prince from Kyoto have also come here to help. After a few days of contact, although we don't say it, we all understand in our hearts. The 300,000 people in Biannan are incomparable to the brothers brought by His Highness the Ninth Prince. They are mentally firm and have faith. On the other hand, we are just messing around every day... But..." The man looked up at Feng Yuheng and said bravely, "But there is really nothing to do in the Biannan area! His Highness the Ninth Prince went to war without us, and we are idle here every day. It is true that we are growing weeds in our hearts and living unsteadily."
People all nodded and agreed with this statement. As soldiers, they couldn't go to the battlefield even though the battle was going on at the front line. They felt abandoned by their commander.
Feng Yuheng could certainly understand this feeling. Before this, she and Xuan Tianming had also made new arrangements for the Biannan army. When she heard the soldiers asking about it, she immediately said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince has already made arrangements for this, but you can't wait. We have been busy with food and grass in recent days, so we put your arrangements aside. We didn't expect you to be so anxious." After that, without waiting for the other party to ask, she said, "Now that Shaping and Jueping have been captured, the army has set up camp in the southern suburbs of Jueping City, but for the two cities, Patrol and management are somewhat beyond their capabilities. His Highness the Ninth Prince meant that General Xifang should select soldiers from the Biannan army and send them to the two cities of Jueping and Shaping. The two cities that have been captured must not be lost again. The task of protecting the city will fall on your shoulders. Of course, it is impossible for 300,000 troops to go there all at once. Biannan still needs to be garrisoned, but not all the troops will stay there all the time. General Xifang will arrange for you to take turns to guard the two cities in the desert. The specific arrangements will be discussed with you later."
She calmly recounted the things she had discussed with Xuan Tianming a long time ago, and the blood of the 300,000 soldiers in Bian Nan boiled. Although they were not going to fight on the battlefield, they could be closer to the front line after all. After all, it was a mission assigned by His Majesty the Ninth Prince himself, so they no longer felt like a group of abandoned people.
The morale of the soldiers was gradually recovering, and Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with this. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Xifang to carefully check the people selected to go to Shaping and Jueping, and ensure that their character was flawless before they could be brought to the desert. Xifang agreed one by one. As for the remnants of the Eighth Prince who were caught, Xifang suggested military punishment, which was also a reminder to the army. Feng Yuheng had no objection to this, and handed over all the matters here to Xifang and returned to Jueping City.
The crisis in Biannan was temporarily resolved. With the addition of the Biannan army, the two cities were managed more orderly. She began to prepare summer heat tea in the space. After all, she couldn't wait until she got sick to treat it. She had to take precautions against the invasion of summer heat.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner in the southern border. In Ji'an County, the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng was in charge, and the Xu family, Qin family, Xiangrong and Bai Furong helped. The people's happiness index continued to rise, and Ji'an County had become the most enviable place in the entire Yuntian Prefecture. More and more people wanted to move to Ji'an County, so that the land in Ji'an County became more and more expensive, and people without some family background could not live there at all. The poor natives in the county burned incense and worshiped Buddha all day long, lamenting that they were lucky to meet the Princess Ji'an in their lifetime and to see Ji'an County develop so well.
Xiangrong's embroidery shop was becoming more and more prosperous. Everyone knew that she was Princess Ji'an's biological sister. Moreover, all the embroiderers in the shop were the best and were trained by Xiangrong herself. All of them had superb skills. Therefore, ladies from near and far loved to come to this shop. In addition to selling finished products, the shop received a large number of orders almost every day. Some even came here to order embroidery products for their daughters' weddings several months in advance.
One day, Xiangrong had just come out of the shop and was about to find Bai Furong to ask her to accompany her for a stroll and check out the business conditions of the various businesses on the main street. But before she could leave, she saw the little maid Shancha rushing in from outside, grabbing her, panting and saying, "Miss, it's bad, they're chasing us, that guy is chasing us from the capital!"
Xiang Rong was stunned and didn't react for a moment, "What's wrong? Who is chasing us from Beijing?"
Shan Cha stamped her feet and said, "Who else could it be? The Fourth Prince! The Fourth Prince has come all the way from the capital to Ji'an County!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a loud laugh from outside the embroidery shop: "Hahahaha! Little Master, here I come!"
Xiangrong subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but before she could run two steps, her arm was grabbed by someone, and then pulled back with a strong force. She didn't stand still and threw herself into the other person's arms. The person didn't hesitate, and stretched out his arms to hug her tightly in front of him.
The two of them were standing in the middle of the main hall on the first floor of the shop. There were so many people around them choosing embroidery patterns. The boss was directly embraced by a man, which shocked the ladies in the room. People sighed again and again: "The princess's sister is really bold!"
What a fart of boldness! Xiang Rong's heart almost collapsed, and her words were almost roaring. She shouted loudly: "Xuan Tianyi, let go! Let go! If you don't let go, I will call for help! I tell you, everyone in Ji'an County is ours. You are a prince without an official title, you can't get the slightest advantage here. If I shout indecent words, a large number of people will rush in and beat you to death with sticks!"
When she shouted like that, everyone in the room was confused again.
Prince? Oh my god, why is there another prince? What on earth is Ji'an County? Not only is there a princess in charge, but the princes are also coming one after another. What on earth are they doing?
There are also some unmarried princes, and they were all staring in amazement. They have already admired the appearance of the Sixth Prince, and wonder which prince this one is. He looks... not bad either!
The Xuan family members are all good-looking, this is genetic, Xuan Tianyi is also naturally handsome. The girls blushed when they saw him, and lowered their heads, but their hearts were beating fast. Those who reacted quickly knelt down, not knowing whether they were princes or not, but kneeling was inevitable.
For a moment, the embroidery shop was full of people kneeling on the ground, and only Xuan Tianyi was left standing and hugging Xiangrong. Then he said to Xiangrong very seriously: "Little Master, I miss you so much."
