134: Enemy Attack

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

The return of the memorial is all a story for the future. At present, Prince Rong is sitting on the ridge of the field with shaking hands and panting. He didn't know that plowing the land is such a hard job.

Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, and she asked with a smile: "Your Highness, can you continue? If you can't bear this hardship, you'd better go back quickly."

Prince Rong:...

"Su Xinyi, don't go too far!" Prince Rong said with his neck stiff, "This is the first time for me to plow the land. Can you let people adapt to it? Can you fly to the sky when you go to the land for the first time?"

Su Xinyi listened to what Prince Rong said, and said slowly: "Your Highness is really as good as a god."

Prince Rong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He thought that Su Xinyi's face could not be plowed through even with a plow!

Su Xinyi chuckled, pulled a grass and held it in her mouth, put her hands behind her head, and looked up at the blue sky.

Prince Rong looked at her like this, how could she still have the manners of a lady? Was she decent? Her eyes fell on the swaying grass stem that Su Xinyi was holding in her mouth, which seemed to be very interesting...

Of course, Prince Rong did not divide the land, so it was natural for him to rely on Su Xinyi.

After the futile attempt to drive her away, Su Xinyi gritted her teeth and used her as free labor.

It was not suitable to plant millet, sorghum, or wheat at this time, so she could only plant beans at the tail end of the time, and harvest another crop in autumn. More than 80 acres of land, more than half of which was planted with beans, and the rest she was going to plant vegetables. At this time, she could plant some mustard, cucumber, and white melon, which could be harvested before winter, and stored for a whole winter.

It was just that seeds were hard to get.

Su Xinyi's eyes fell on Prince Rong. Just because she couldn't get so much didn't mean that Prince Rong couldn't.

Prince Rong felt a chill on his back when Su Xinyi stared at him. What was this guy up to?

He was so busy plowing the fields these days that his eyes became dizzy when he saw the plow. He was finally about to finish the plowing, and his hands had a dozen blisters of various sizes. If he were to show this to his father in the capital, he would be so distressed.

Unfortunately, Yulin Wei was far away from the emperor, and his father was destined not to see his hard work, but he could write a memorial to report the truth.

Su Xinyi smiled and said to Prince Rong: "Your Highness, the winter here is very hard. You don't want to eat only hard grain dumplings in the winter. When winter comes, there will be no wild vegetables to eat. We must grow some vegetables for ourselves, right?"

Prince Rong was stunned, "You still want to spend the winter here?"

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows and suddenly realized: "Yes, how could the prince stay here until late winter? He must leave after a while. That's it, I will think of other ways."

Prince Rong felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. He looked at Su Xinyi and said: "No, the army is about to arrive. Even if we start a war, we can't fight for a whole winter. What are you thinking?"

Su Xinyi smiled lightly, "What does this have to do with the prince?"

Prince Rong wanted to say why it had nothing to do with it, but as soon as he said this, it seemed that something was wrong, and he swallowed it back subconsciously.

Su Xinyi regretted this opportunity. Since Prince Rong was not spending the winter here, it was really difficult for him to take advantage of him. He thought of other ways.

After saying half of the words, Prince Rong felt in a dilemma. He looked at Su Xinyi's back as she walked away, and then he started to plow the land silently. Forget it. Su Xinyi was such a smart person. If she didn't say anything now, she must want to keep him hanging. He couldn't be fooled again.

Prince Rong, who had suffered a lot and been fooled a lot, felt that he had to be smart for once and couldn't let Su Xinyi be proud all the time.

When it was dusk, the group of people carried farm tools back to the city.

Su Xinyi greeted the gatekeepers familiarly. After entering the city, whether it was a child running on the street, an old woman with a child on the street, or a young wife at home, Su Xinyi knew everyone. She never kept her mouth shut on the way home.

Prince Rong was very surprised at first, but now he is very calm.

Tian Zao and the others were not surprised at all. As long as the Sixth Girl had patience, she could get some information from a dog on the street by barking at it.

In less than half a month, before the army arrived, there was no one Su Xinyi didn't know within the three streets around her house. She could call everyone by name.

This skill is not something most people can learn.

When she arrived at her house, the door of her left neighbor Shi An was closed, and the door of her right neighbor Yuan Yongjun was silent. It seemed that everyone was still busy and hadn't returned home.

However, the front neighbor Sister-in-law Ying opened the back window and looked at Su Xinyi and shouted, "Sister, I have collected some seeds for you. Come and get them later."

Su Xinyi immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Ying, thank you so much. Wait a minute, I'll go get them in a while."

"Okay." Sister-in-law Ying closed the window neatly.

Su Xinyi put down the hoe when she entered the door, washed her face, went into the house to change clothes, said hello to Zhan Qiao and the others, and went to the front street.

Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi's back and his mouth twitched. He called her "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" so affectionately. Those who knew her would understand that they had only known each other for a few days, while those who didn't would think they had been neighbors for decades.

Su Xinyi didn't care about Prince Rong's sour mood. She walked briskly to Ying Dashan's house. Sister-in-law Ying saw her coming in and asked her to sit down, saying, "It's not much, only half a bag."

Su Xinyi immediately said, "These are not a small amount. Thank you, sister-in-law. How do you exchange these things? Do you want food or money?"

If you want food, you have to wait until the grain in their fields is harvested. If you want money, it will be much easier.

"What's the use of money now? You can't buy anything even if you hold it in your hand. Everyone has collected it for you. Once you collect the food, you can exchange it for everyone at the market price." Ying Dashan's family said with a cheerful smile.

Their family is local, their ancestors have lived here for generations, and their family is also a military household. Her eldest brother died in the war last year, so her husband was involved in the fight. Fortunately, the Yulin Guards were tight, so they did not go to other guards for a while and served as soldiers in front of their home. , Sister-in-law Ying is very satisfied that she can still go home to eat.

As a soldier, there was a supply of military rations, and there was land at home, so there was no shortage of food. Knowing that the person who would be the household support worker later was a girl, she became familiar with Su Xinyi from time to time.

Su Xinyi put the pickles she had made on the table. It was a small jar the size of a palm, and there wasn't much. But she was good at her craftsmanship and the pickled radish strips were crispy and very popular among the neighbors.

Sister-in-law Ying didn't give in when she saw the radish sticks. The head of her family liked them. She went into the house and got a handful of salt and a small bag of dried radish sticks for Su Xinyi to take back.

Su Xinyi knew she couldn't refuse. Sister-in-law Ying didn't like to take advantage, so she wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Ying grabbed her and whispered: "Be careful when you go out to farm in the past two days. Last night I heard that the defenders were out of the city. There was also a fight.”

Su Xinyi looked stern and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you hear the news?"

Sister-in-law Ying said: "The superiors will not let anyone know. You pretend not to know after you go out."

Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly, knowing that it was Ying Dashan who got the news and asked his wife to remind her that this was not peaceful again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Su Yi hasn't arrived yet, so Su Xinyi can't find out the news from outside. Bao Datong can't go out of the city to find out the news at will. If he is caught, he will be treated as a spy. The Yulin Guards are very tight, so they have this news. It is very important to Su Xinyi Kaishuo.

King Rong saw that Su Xinyi was a little distracted after she came back from the front street. He couldn't help but walked over and sat down on the stone steps opposite her, and asked: "What's wrong with you? You have such a face. Something happened." ?”

Who is so powerful and can still make Su Xinyi suffer? He needs to see and see, it is best to get to know him and learn a few tricks from him.

Su Xinyi looked up at King Rong's particularly excited eyes and smiled kindly at him, "I was thinking that my eldest brother would be here soon. When they get to the fields, they can plant food and vegetable seeds, and the water diversion should also be done." Just get ready.”

King Rong said: "There are only a few dry wells here, how do you draw water?"

This is not a land with a big river. It is not that easy to divert water from wells. If there was a way, Yulinwei would have dried up long ago and could still keep so much land dry.

Dry wells are artificially dug water wells. The water in this kind of well is not inexhaustible like in places near the sea and rivers. Instead, when you use up your accumulated water, you have to wait for the spring in the well to slowly store the water again. Full.

Some wells and springs have a large flow of water, so it takes a short time to fill up with water; some wells and springs have a small flow of water, so it takes a long time.

Su Xinyi is really powerless when it comes to irrigation. The north is not connected to a river, so it is too difficult to get water.

Even if Lu Ban were alive, it would be difficult to build something that could produce water from flat ground.

Su Xinyi's land was quite lucky. There was a well a mile away. Although it was hard to carry water for irrigation, it was better than a place without water.

But there is so much land, it is too hard to carry it on the shoulders, but it is not impossible to build a canal, but the riders outside the Great Wall always come uninvited, and there is no grass in the place they pass. After building the canal, it only costs a few swords to come. If you go down, it will be destroyed.

Difficult, too difficult.

Su Xinyi's eyebrows can kill flies. There is a reason why the people at the border are living a miserable life.

If the weather is not favorable and the geographical advantage is not there, naturally we will not be able to live a comfortable and prosperous life like the people in the water town.

King Rong found it funny to see Su Xinyi like this. The border officials must have thought of many ways to deal with this kind of problem. If there was really a good way, could they wait until now?

However, King Rong didn't dare to say the sarcastic words. He always felt that Su Xinyi really overestimated his abilities and really thought he could do everything.

Early the next morning, Su Xinyi took Tian Zao and others to water the ground before planting the seeds. It was best to water them to make them survive.

Five people set out carrying ten large wooden barrels. It was still dark before dawn. The soldiers guarding the city gate opened the city gate at the right time. They saw Miss Su leading the people out of the city. They looked at the barrels in their hands and couldn't help but smile. Get up, say hello, and then let people out of the city.

Su Xinyi didn't feel it was hard. Carrying the barrel with his arms went from being slightly strenuous at the beginning to walking quickly and swiftly. It was like exercising his arm strength and physical strength. Soldiers have to go out for training every day.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong were the weakest among them. They gritted their teeth and pursued Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing. Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing deliberately trained them, and their pace gradually increased. No matter how they chased, they kept their pace. a certain distance.

The well-watered ground turned into a training ground. The sun rose and dazzled several people. Su Xinyi waved his hand and told them to stop and rest for a while.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong lay motionless on the ground. Their legs were shaking from exhaustion and they couldn't even lift their arms. They were breathing heavily.

Seeing them like this, Su Xinyi was so happy that she raised her voice and asked, "Can you still persist? If not, you can go back and rest first."

Tian Zao gritted his teeth and said, "We can do it."

How can you say you are tired easily after working as a household servant? During the time I stayed in Yulinwei, I heard a lot of stories about wars, and there was no casualty in any of them.

When they go to the battlefield, if they want to survive, they have to practice hard now, otherwise they will just contribute their lives to the enemy.

Su Xinyi looked at the sky and smiled. Suddenly, she saw a puff of black smoke rising into the sky. She jumped up and shouted, "Enemy attack, hurry up and enter the city!"

Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing picked up Tian Zao and Bao Datong in one hand each, and the five of them ran into the city. They used to lead the horses out every day, but today they didn't need to stay at home for watering. As a result, the enemy attacked!

What kind of luck is this!

The enemy tower raised the smoke, and there were infantrymen and people carrying farm tools everywhere rushing to the city gate from all directions. Someone on the city wall shouted loudly, "Hurry! Hurry, the city gate is about to close!"

Su Xinyi and the others were closer, and they quickly entered the city gate. Not long after they entered, the city gate slowly closed. There were people and infantrymen gasping for breath everywhere under the city gate. Su Xinyi actually saw Ying Dasaozi.

Ying Dasaozi also saw Su Xinyi, smiled at her across the crowd, and stood against the wall, obviously recovering her strength.

The infantrymen who entered the city took a breath and immediately climbed up the city wall. Su Xinyi also saw that the householders like them were checking whether the farm tools they carried with them were lost. If the farm tools were left outside the city, it would not be easy to find them after the war. They would have to pay a fine.

The farm tools of the householders were like the weapons of the soldiers. They should be carefully cared for and cherished.

Su Xinyi secretly checked that the soldiers guarding the city were lining up in an orderly manner, checking their weapons, and acting separately according to the orders.

Su Xinyi watched some of them climb the city wall, and some began to patrol. Everyone's faces were very calm, without the slightest panic. Obviously, such things have become a habit.

"Sixth Miss, what should we do?" Zhan Qiao asked in a deep voice.

Su Xinyi didn't know what to do to avoid violating the law. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't move first, see what everyone does."

Su Xinyi was definitely unwilling to leave like this. When the enemy attacked, they all had martial arts skills in their hands, and they were stronger than ordinary people. Of course, they had to contribute.

But Yulinwei must have a set of laws to defend against the enemy. She didn't want to disobey the military order and let people execute her on the spot.

Just thinking about this, she saw the people's team moving, walking into the city in an orderly manner. Su Xinyi turned her eyes and caught up with Ying Dasaozi, intending to ask Ying Dasaozi about it before deciding what to do.
