Chapter 312: Admitting to the Top
Xiao Yanci nodded, "It's urgently needed. The sooner we can find it, the better. If it takes more than a month, then there's no need."
More than a month later, the potatoes from the court had arrived, so there was naturally no need for him to help collect them.
Luo Guanlan was keenly aware that this might be another opportunity to make a contribution, it just depended on whether he could seize it.
Luo Guanlan immediately said, "I can search for Your Highness."
Luo Guanlan did not delay and quickly took his leave.
He currently has no way to get this thing, so he has to find a way quickly.
As soon as he left, Lu Zhiran asked, "Your Highness, do you want to arrange for people to plant potatoes now?"
Xiao Yanci nodded.
"Xiping City was ravaged by war this year, and the people have neglected farming. If we plant potatoes early, we can help them find food. My father will certainly not object. If he blames me, I will bear the consequences."
Lu Zhiran felt a little warm in her heart when she heard this.
"Your Highness is wholeheartedly devoted to the people. This is truly a blessing for all of us."
Xiao Yanci shook his head. "After this trip here, I understand the hardships of the people living on the border. This is all I can do for them."
Lu Zhiran said seriously, "Your Highness has such a heart, which is better than most people."
Hearing Lu Zhiran's praise for him, Xiao Yanci couldn't help but smile.
He spoke of Luo Guanlan casually again.
"Your cousin is handsome and elegant, like a child of aristocratic family, not a merchant."
"The Luo family is well-born, and my cousin also studied for a few years earlier, so he naturally has the elegance and refinement of a scholar."
When saying this, Lu Zhiran's eyes were full of pride.
Xiao Yanci just casually praised her just to bring up the topic, but when he heard Lu Zhiran's sincere praise, a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Lu Zhiran didn't think about it in any other way and was completely unaware of his jealousy.
Xiao Yanci looked at her dimly, "How does this prince compare to him?"
His gaze was too aggressive. After a moment of hesitation, Lu Zhiran finally understood what he was thinking and felt a bit amused and helpless.
"Your Highness is a dragon with a majestic figure and a phoenix with a noble bearing. How can a commoner like my cousin compare to him?"
Her words were sincere and her expression was serious, and Xiao Yanci's lips curled up unconsciously.
He Yun: It’s too shameful to watch.
Xiao Yanci glanced at He Yun out of the corner of his eye, and He Yun immediately took his leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Shuanghua, and Shuanghua also took her leave very tactfully.
When there were no more irrelevant people in the main hall, Xiao Yanci took out a sachet from his arms.
"I didn't lose the sachet you gave me, and I still have the earrings."
When he said this, it seemed as if he was offering a treasure.
He added, "Princess, you can feel free to give me gifts in the future. I won't lose them."
Lu Zhiran can break his fate.
She is special.
Lu Zhiran: ...
I didn't expect that someone would actively ask for gifts.
She could only say, "When I find something suitable in the future, I will definitely give it to Your Highness."
Xiao Yanci immediately jumped on the bandwagon, "My purse fell, and I'm missing a piece. The pattern on yours is quite nice. If it were made into sky blue, it would definitely look great."
The beads of his calculations were about to hit him in the face, so Lu Zhiran had no choice but to agree to it.
However, she did not feel any aversion to Xiao Yanci's initiative to ask for it. She could feel his sincerity.
Ye Hanyi was also temporarily staying in the general's mansion, but Lu Zhiran was busy with business affairs and he hadn't seen her for several days.
She asked, "Where's Han Yi?"
Xiao Yanci's eyes flashed with helplessness, "She couldn't stay idle, so she went to the military camp."
Ye Hanyi grew up in the army and was not averse to the military camp. Instead, she felt more comfortable in the camp.
The injury on her shoulder was not serious. As long as the poison was cleaned out, she would recover quickly. She asked Gu Qishan for permission and stayed in the military camp all day. Xiao Yanci didn't care about her.
Lu Zhiran couldn't help but laugh, "She really should have been reborn as a boy."
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Yanci's eyes. That's true.
At this time, Ye Hanyi was indeed in the military camp.
She is competing with Ge Xubai.
Everyone said that Ge Xubai was a martial arts master. Ye Hanyi had seen some of his skills that day at Duanyun Mountain, but she had not seen the full picture. She had been itching to learn some skills and wanted to compete with him.
But her injury had not yet healed, and every time she made this request before, Ge Xubai had politely declined. Today, she finally persuaded him to give in.
Ye Hanyi was eager for this competition, so she tried her best.
Ye Hanyi's figure was as swift as a swallow, and Ge Xubai's sword was as swift as a flying dragon. The two fought with each other with sharp sword movements, which were complicated and varied, making the watching soldiers marvel again and again. Ye Hanyi became more and more excited as the fight went on, and his competitive spirit was completely aroused.
She pretended to attack Ge Xubai's left, but at the last moment she suddenly turned her sword.
The sword came very quickly. If Ge Xubai blocked it with all his strength, the rebound force would be enough to injure Ye Hanyi's arm and might even cause the wound on her shoulder to split.
In a split second, he chose to dodge sideways, but Ye Hanyi's sword could no longer be retracted, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced straight into his shoulder.
The Jiangs who were watching were all stunned, and Ye Hanyi was also shocked.
She hadn't thought about hurting him.
"Why don't you hide?"
Ge Xubai remained calm and said, "Your sword is too fast. I admit defeat."
Ye Hanyi won, but he did not feel the joy of victory.
She looked at the blood oozing from Ge Xubai's shoulder and felt confused.
Ge Xubai didn't care. "It's just a minor injury. I have thick skin and flesh. It will be healed in a few days. Besides, this is a competition. I am not as skilled as the other person, so this is what I deserve."
Having said that, Ye Hanyi still felt a little guilty.
Others may not know, but she knew it very well that Ge Xubai had intentionally avoided her and that was why he was injured.
The sword she just used was extremely powerful. Even if she tried to restrain her force, it must have been quite powerful. His injury was probably not just a simple superficial wound.
Ge Xubai went down to bandage the wound, and Ye Hanyi did not stay in the army, but ran back to the general's mansion.
She went to look for Lu Zhiran, "Zhiran, do you still have the external injury medicine that Albert gave you?"
Lu Zhiran looked her up and down, "Are you injured?"
Ye Hanyi shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was Ge Xubai. I was competing with him and accidentally stabbed him."
Lu Zhiran was a little surprised. She had heard that Ge Xubai's martial arts were very impressive, so how could Ye Hanyi actually hurt him? Could it be that Ye Hanyi's martial arts were better than Ge Xubai's?
Without asking any further questions, Lu Zhiran hurried to find the remaining medicine for external injuries and handed it to Ye Hanyi.
Ye Hanyi ran away in a hurry like a gust of wind.
Ge Xubai did not have his own residence. He always lived in the army. Occasionally, when he went into the city, he would stay at the general's mansion for a while.
But recently there were distinguished guests at the General's Mansion, so he didn't want to disturb them. Therefore, he hadn't been to the General's Mansion for a while.
He had his own tent, which was not as spacious as the commander-in-chief's, but it was fully equipped with everything he needed, even more than many veteran generals in the army.
All of this was not due to the master-disciple relationship with Gu Qishan, but was achieved bit by bit with his own hands.
