517 You know
Shi Qingluo saw that the third prince seemed to have something to say to Prince Yi.
She wasn’t interested in getting involved.
“Let’s go back to the courtyard to rest. My husband might come.”
Liang Yulin knew that Shi Qingluo had a few very smart messenger pigeons.
She must have told Xiao Hanzheng about what happened this morning.
His eldest son cared so much about them and would definitely bring some people over.
He nodded. “Let’s wait here for reinforcements. It’s within my expectation that the Ge Kingdom will soon send people to surround this place.”
When he had received the news, he had used an eagle to send out a message to mobilize his men.
He reminded Shi Qingluo, “Be prepared to fight a tough battle.”
They did not expect the Ge Kingdom to suddenly order for Shi Qingluo’s arrest, so it was a little troublesome.
Fortunately, his royal brother and imperial mother were worried that he came here, especially after the assassination.
They sent many people to protect him and even gave him a warrant to mobilize troops at the border.
Therefore, he came prepared.
Moreover, he believed that his eldest son, who was far away in Heyang County, would not sit still and let them wait for their death.
Shi Qingluo had already expected this. “Yes, we’ve already made preparations.”
Then, she brought her mother-in-law and sister-in-law back to the courtyard to rest.
After returning to the courtyard and sitting down, Shi Qingluo asked the two of them, “Mother, Baili, are you scared?”
Mother Xiao reached out to hold her hand and chuckled. “I’m not afraid.”
“It’s quite exciting, so you don’t have to worry,” she added.
In the past, she was weak and timid, but now she had let go.
It was good to have more experience in life.
Those people wanted to capture her daughter-in-law.
She couldn’t say that she could protect her daughter-in-law and not let them capture her, but she would always be by her side.
Xiao Baili also held Shi Qingluo’s other hand. “Sister-in-law, my mother and I will always be with you.”
She was no longer afraid of these.
Shi Qingluo’s heart warmed up. This was the power of family. “Alright!”
On the other hand, Liang Yulin and the third prince had a discussion.
He had also obtained an important border map of the Ge Kingdom from the third prince and had a plan in mind.
He also sent out his men to protect the entire town.
He had caught the spy that had been discovered earlier and eliminated all the uncertain dangers that might happen in advance.
Xiao Hanzheng received a letter that day.
He did not expect the Ge people to lay their hands on his wife.
Therefore, that night, he led the county guards, Xi Rui’s guards and the others, and the female soldiers that Xi Rong had brought to attack the place where the Ge Kingdom had set up an ambush.
Although they incurred some losses, they had annihilated all of the Ge Kingdom’s elites who were in ambush.
They then went to another place and exterminated another Ge elite force that had let their guard down in the middle of the night.
Only then did Xiao Hanzheng return to the county town to rest for a few hours.
He handed over the county office’s matters to Fei Yuzhe and led the female soldiers to the small town with Xi Rong.
He even sent someone to Northern City to deliver a letter to Xiao Yuanshi.
Xiao Yuanshi didn’t take the carriage.
Instead, he brought his men and rushed to Heyang County.
Therefore, when they were two days away from Heyang County, they met Xiao Hanzheng’s people.
“Deputy Governor, this is a letter our master asked us to send you.”
Xiao Yuanshi was not surprised, as Xiao Hanzheng knew that he had come to Heyang County.
He also suspected that Xiao Hanzheng might have known that Ge Chunru had drugged him.
He was actually a little confused about the sudden appearance of this letter.
Could it be that Xiao Hanzheng knew about it and did not want to treat him, so he wrote to stop him from entering Heyang County?
Xiao Yuanshi took out the letter with a rare apprehension.
When he finished reading the letter, his expression changed.
The letter did not mention anything that had happened in the Northern City.
It only said that the Ge people were going to besiege the third prince, Prince Yi, and Princess Fubao.
As the deputy governor, he naturally had to personally lead others to rescue them when he found out about this matter.
Otherwise, if something happened to the three of them and he sat by and did nothing, the emperor would definitely not let him off easily.
In other words, his “good son” had sent this letter to find trouble for him and drag him into this.
He should have done a divination before he went out.
Otherwise, why would he be involved in such a terrible thing?
He had no choice now.
Not only did he have to speed up, but he also had two of his trusted aides mobilize troops nearby.
The next day, the elites of the Ge Kingdom appeared near the town.
They wanted to attack the town, but they were stopped by those who were guarding Prince Yi.
The small town where Prince Yi chose to build the canned food workshop was an important military defense base in Daliang country.
As such, the town was surrounded by tall city walls and heavily guarded by a group of soldiers.
This was also to ensure the safety of the canned food workshop.
Moreover, this was the border, so it was also easy to attract herdsmen to sell their sheep.
The Ge Kingdom’s army had harassed this place in the past, but they had not been able to seize it.
After that, they had not come back.
This time, however, they were not willing to give up.
After being defeated once, they continued to attack the city the next day.
Shi Qingluo followed Prince Yi and the third prince to the city wall to take a look.
She found that the Ge Kingdom had sent out a lot of people this time, more than a thousand of them.
More importantly, they were still sending reinforcements.
She looked at the Ge army that was stationed not far away and said, “They are determined to capture me this time!”
Liang Yulin nodded. “Indeed. It seems that you’re more valuable to the people of Ge than we thought.
“I received news that you tricked them on the potatoes.”
“The potatoes that they robbed previously, “he said with a smile, ” are all rotten after they cut and planted them.
“So, they want to settle this score with you.”
Shi Qingluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “They’re the ones who are stupid. How can they blame me?”
Liang Yulin laughed. “Who asked you to be a golden doll? They’re using this as an excuse.
“On the surface, they say they want to capture you and take you back to settle accounts, but in reality, their goal is to control you and make you earn money.”
After all, be it canned food, scented soap, or candles, they all require a large number of sheep.
The Ge Kingdom has a lot of sheep, so of course they want these recipes.
It had to be said that his eldest son and daughter-in-law were very powerful.
Until now, neither the recipe of the canned food nor the soap had been leaked.
Shi Qingluo shrugged her shoulders. “Sigh, being too outstanding will make people covet you!”
Liang Yulin was used to Shi Qingluo’s personality and agreed with her.
The third prince was speechless. Such a self-praising lady existed?
He turned to look at Shi Qingluo’s calm and confident expression.
He had to admit that this woman was really bold.
If she were any other woman and knew that the enemy country had gathered such a large force just to capture her, she would probably be scared to tears.
He couldn’t help but admire and admire Shi Qingluo for being able to chat and laugh.
“Which group of your men can get close to the enemy’s camp?” Shi Qingluo asked.
“They are elites from the Ge Kingdom.” the third prince said honestly. “We don’t have any spies inside.”
“I have someone hidden inside,” Liang Yulin said.
“What do you want?” he asked Shi Qingluo with a smile.
Shi Qingluo smiled slyly. “I’ll give them a welcome gift first.”
Then, she took out a paper bag from her side pocket and handed it over. “Your Highness, you know what I mean.”
Prince Yi smiled evilly and took the paper bag. “I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get it done.”
The third prince was speechless. What were they talking about?
Why couldn’t he understand?
Besides, didn’t his imperial uncle just arrive at the northern border not long ago?
How could his imperial uncle’s men be in the Ge Kingdom’s elite team?
And looking at these two people’s expression, he felt like they had equally bad and calculative intentions.
He wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him …
Was his uncle really pure and didn’t care about the mortal world like what he thought of him?
