144: Just Assume She Is Praising Him
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Han Qingling naturally knew about Su Xinyi. After all, there were a lot of rumors about General Su's daughter, Miss Su Liu, working as a household clerk in Yulinwei.
Su Xinyi didn't pay attention to the way Han Qingling looked at her, and only asked her to treat other people's injuries. She strode out and saw Wang Rong bursting in the door angrily.
King Rong was filled with anger and couldn't help but become speechless when he saw the several wounds on Su Xinyi's body.
When Su Xinyi saw this, he smiled and asked, "What a rare visitor. Why is Your Highness here?"
When King Rong heard this, his anger boiled again, and his face kept changing from black to white.
"Your Highness, don't you mind sitting in the courtyard?" Su Xinyi pointed to the wooden table under the big tree in the courtyard.
King Rong turned around and walked over and sat down. After Su Xinyi sat down, he looked at her again and then said, "What's wrong with you, making you so embarrassed? It's really a rare sight."
Su Xinyi felt her hands itching when she heard this, "If Your Highness comes to ridicule me, you can go back."
King Rong:......
What's wrong with letting him take advantage of you verbally?
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the raging anger in his heart, and then he spoke seriously, "I said you were unjust. How could you not tell me if you did such a thing? Are you afraid that I will take away your credit?"
Su Xinyi listened to his questioning tone and replied slowly, "I am a registered household member and have not joined the military. There is no difference between having made meritorious service and not having made meritorious service. I can't take any credit. This matter is just a matter of course." It was an accident, it was accidental, and I don’t care if I die alone, but if the prince is so tired, do you think I can bear it?"
King Rong knew that what she said was right, but he was so confused that he shouted angrily, "Then how come the prince can join you?"
Su Xinyi said seriously: "I sent someone back to the city to deliver a letter. The person who delivered the letter didn't find my eldest brother. He happened to meet someone close to His Highness. The military situation was so strong that he naturally reported it to His Highness first."
King Rong became even more angry. What do you mean by this? In love, he, a prince, still has to get acquainted with the people around her?
He was so angry!
But he couldn't fault it.
Su Xinyi looked at King Rong's angry red and black face, and it was difficult to connect him with King Rong who had been hiding behind the scenes all his life.
Is this man in front of me who explodes when angry and jumps when teased really the scheming King Rong?
Is it the wrong way of opening up in her life, or is it the wrong direction of King Rong's growth?
In short, something is definitely wrong.
"Is your injury okay?"
Su Xinyi listened to King Rong's concerned words and replied sincerely, "The injury on the left shoulder is a bit serious, and the other injuries are minor. It looks bluffing, but it's not a big deal."
The injury on his left shoulder wasn't serious at first, but it got aggravated after he joined Yang Jin, his eldest brother, and others, and rushing out all the way inevitably tore the wound.
King Rong's eyes fell on Su Xinyi's left shoulder, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling. The man's words were as simple as rubbing his skin. He really didn't know what to say.
"What are your plans next?"
Su Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at King Rong, "Of course I want to go back to Yulinwei and continue to be a post householder."
King Rong sneered at this time and looked up at Su Xinyi, even with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, "I heard Zhu Pengzu say that this time the Tatars suffered heavy losses due to the robbery of their grain and grass, and our army pursued and ambushed them, which depleted their strength. It’s huge. If we chase them all the way to their hometown, I’m afraid these Tatars won’t be able to raise any more troops within two or three years. In this case, your eldest brother will definitely return to the capital with the army. Once she returns to the capital, will you be able to stay? "
Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment.
It was rare to see her like this, and King Rong became more and more proud, and said happily: "Besides, I have already asked for you. Although the army has not canceled the military membership of women, the army has not accepted women into the army since Taizong. Even if it is The army is willing to make an exception to accept you, but I am afraid that no other woman will be willing to join the army and suffer this hardship. Besides, once the Tatars withdraw their troops after this victory, the troops recruited from various garrison stations will also be sent back. In a situation like yours. , you are among those being deported, and you will not use your personal rights to stay in front of the public, right? "
Su Xinyi:......
If we don’t see each other for a few days, King Rong will give someone a big thumbs up!
Su Xinyi was silent. She had never thought that this battle would be so enjoyable, nor did she expect that Zhu Pengzu would seize the opportunity to have people chase the enemy in succession.
She originally thought that this time the Tatars' kowtow would be a protracted war. If this was the case, she could encourage women from the frontier to join the army, and then she could form a women's army. In this way, she could legitimately stay in the army. .
The reason why she was able to support her in forming the Women's Army was not because she was Su Chun's daughter, but because of her achievements. That's why she tracked the grain and grass this time.
But how could she have imagined that the development of things was completely beyond her expectation, and that it would develop to such an extent. Our army was victorious, and she had no reason to encourage women to join the army for no reason.
When there are enough soldiers at the frontier, whose wife is willing to abandon her family and her children to join the army?
Unexpectedly, she dug a hole and buried herself in it.
King Rong watched Su Xinyi's expression keep changing, and he couldn't stop feeling happy. He finally let out his anger and said happily: "Zhu Pengzu has ordered the Yulin Guards to cooperate with the Zhangping Mansion to send troops, and the troops from the two major passes will be combined into one to encircle and suppress them." The Tatars, I guess they can’t hold on, and they will definitely bow their heads and go to court to plead guilty.”
Su Xinyi:......
These grassland tribes have no idea what face is. If they can win, they fight. If they can’t, they admit defeat. After they come to the court to pay homage to the emperor, they cry poor, repent, and show loyalty. Our great dynasty cares too much about face, reputation, and achievements, so it’s not easy to kill them all. We have to give them some food and grass to appease them.
Shameless.
Thinking of that scene, her face turned black.
The grassland tribes fought fiercely, and the position of the leader was often changed. In order to apologize and give the tribe a breathing space, it is not uncommon to change the leader.
After his father died in the battle, the Southern Qi won a great victory, and the Tatar tribes were defeated, and he offered the head of the current leader to apologize.
Seeing that Su Xinyi looked unhappy, Prince Rong didn't dare to be naughty anymore, and immediately said seriously: "Hey, I'm telling you something serious, you have to think about it carefully, and this time you have made great contributions by stealing grain and grass. When the news is reported back to the court, you will become famous for the Su family. In fact, there is no need to stay here any longer. It is the best policy to stop while you are ahead. You know that those old men in the court are the most annoying. You should stay. When they have time, they will definitely use this matter to impeach the Su family."
Su Xinyi: ...
She had thought about this before, but the original plan was that the border had to be constantly at war. Now that the war has temporarily subsided, it is indeed easy for her to give others a handle if she continues to stay.
In the face of national crisis, she stood up and was loyal to the country as a descendant of a general, which is a great righteousness.
If she did this in peaceful times, it would be tantamount to bringing trouble to the Su family.
The corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't expect that stealing grain and grass would have such a result.
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness." Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong and said seriously.
Prince Rong was happy to hear this, "That's right, we have a friendship of fighting side by side after all, so it's no big deal to remind you."
If Su Xinyi stayed here, the capital would be so boring. Since she returned to the Su family, the whole capital has been much more lively.
Prince Rong left happily after achieving his goal, and Su Xinyi sat there motionless.
She was naturally willing to stay. What's the good of returning to the capital, but Prince Rong's words also made sense. If there was no war at the border, she would decide to stay and it would bring great trouble to the Su family.
And this time, she did a great job in tracking the food and grass, and she and the prince worked together to cut off the enemy's food and grass and joined forces with the army to attack from the front and back. Such merits will inevitably attract the attention and counterattack of Prince Rong's faction and Li Guifei's faction.
In her previous life, she had no grudges with Concubine Li, but she also knew that the Prince Xiang born to Concubine Li was not a good-for-nothing. After all, he was a talent who could deal with Prince Rong and the Crown Prince.
In this life, she had a great grudge with the Li family. If she had any handle here, she would definitely be held tightly by the Li family.
A queen was already annoying, and with Concubine Li, Su Xinyi did not dare to gamble with the Su family.
So she was going to go back after a walk?
She was not willing, but there was no other way at the moment.
Su Xinyi was thinking when she heard footsteps. She turned her head and saw that it was Han Qingling.
"I have bandaged the wound. If the sixth lady has no other instructions, I will take my leave first." Han Qingling stepped forward and saluted.
Su Xinyi calmed down, looked at her and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Han this time."
Han Qingling hurriedly said that she did not dare, saluted again, and then turned and left.
Su Xinyi had nothing and couldn't thank him for the moment. She could only remember it in her heart and talk about it later.
Su Yi's long-time attendant came to deliver a letter. Su Xinyi knew that he led the troops to chase the Tatars and knew that he might not be back for three or five days. Naturally, she was worried, but there was nothing she could do except wait for news.
In the evening, Su Xinyi planned to cook something simple to eat so that several people could have a good rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as it got dark, someone sent a table of wine and food. It was sent by Zhu Pengzu.
Su Xinyi looked at the sumptuous banquet. It was naturally difficult for a woman to attend the celebration banquet tonight. General Zhu, the commander, specially ordered someone to send the banquet, which was also a gesture of goodwill to her.
With a chuckle, Su Xinyi looked at everyone and said, "Eat, have a good rest after eating, and talk tomorrow."
It was rare to be so relaxed this night. Su Xinyi fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. She opened her eyes when the rooster crowed.
The morning in Zhangping Prefecture was still very busy. Although the enemy retreated because of intercepting the enemy's food, it was not easy for tens of thousands of enemy troops to pursue and encircle them.
After everyone got up, Bao Datong went out to inquire about the news. Tian Zao was busy preparing breakfast. Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing decided to contact the people on the side of the prince. Only Mu Xing and Su Xinyi were left to relax.
Mu Xing was a person who could endure loneliness very well. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being so leisurely. Su Xinyi looked at him with a calm look and twitched her mouth. She decided to find something for him to do.
"Mu Xing, what are your plans for the future?"
Mu Xing looked at Su Xinyi suspiciously. After following her for so long, he always felt that this was a trap. He thought carefully and said, "I don't have any plans."
It wouldn't be wrong to say that. Anyway, if he said he had any plans, Su Xinyi would definitely take the opportunity to play. He didn't give her this opportunity!
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Mu Xing's heart skipped a beat when he saw Su Xinyi's expression. He had a bad feeling.
"You must have seen a lot when you traveled around with Ma Rude. Many people can't compare to you. You know, many people may never leave their own village or the prefecture where they live. They are not as knowledgeable as you."
Listening to Su Xinyi's praise, Mu Xing felt his feet go cold. He looked at her again and asked desperately, "Just tell me what you want me to do."
"It's easy to talk to smart people." Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing and said with a smile.
Mu Xing:...
If there were other choices, he didn't want to be so smart at all, he promised!
Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing's face that looked like he was going to be executed and chuckled. He looked up at the rising sun and slowly said, "I originally thought that I could stay at the border for at least a few years, but now it seems that it will be very difficult."
Mu Xing looked at her in confusion, "You changed your mind again?"
Women are fickle!
It didn't seem to be very surprising.
After all, the border was too hard, and it was not surprising that Miss Su Liu changed her mind.
Su Xinyi shook her head and explained to him the previous conversation with King Rong in a concise way.
Mu Xing was stunned for a moment. He didn't know much about the affairs of the court. As a killer, he didn't need to learn these things. But it sounded reasonable. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to go back."
Su Xinyi:...
She shouldn't expect Mu Xing to say something about national justice. She took a deep breath and smiled again, "Then you see that the people at the border are having such a hard time, don't you have any ideas?"
Mu Xing said in surprise, "What ideas can a killer have about this kind of thing? Isn't this the job of the parents?"
It's okay to let him kill people, but what ideas can he have about this kind of thing? It's really a joke.
Su Xinyi almost spit out a mouthful of blood. She could see that she couldn't stand talking to Mu Xing, who had a stone head. She calmed down and said from a different angle, "Do you want to make money, make money from the enemy, make a lot of money?"
Mu Xing looked at Su Xinyi seriously. Could it be that this incoherent statement was possessed by evil spirits?
Su Xinyi met Mu Xing's eyes that looked like a fool, and immediately wanted to duel with him. What does that mean?
Does she have the word stupid written on her face?
Perhaps he felt that he had angered Su Xinyi, and his desire to survive immediately came online. Mu Xing said, "Who in the world doesn't want to make money? Isn't this nonsense? I'm not very smart, Sixth Miss, just speak frankly."
If he continues to guess like this, I guess his life will be hanging.
Su Xinyi took a deep breath and said directly, "I want to form a caravan, transport goods from the south to the north, and trade with the tribes on the grassland. You have followed Ma Rude for many years, so this should not be difficult."
Mu Xing's face was frozen, "Not satisfied with robbing people's food and grass, you also want to take away their savings. Isn't it too much?"
"The Tartars come to the border every year to rob the grass and valleys. How many people die in the border town? Isn't it too much?"
Mu Xing couldn't argue with Su Xinyi. From her tone, he knew that this matter could not be discussed. After thinking carefully, he said seriously: "I know a little bit about business, but I have never done it. Aren't you afraid that all the money will be wasted in my hands?"
"Silk, tea, porcelain, which one is not liked by the tribes outside the Great Wall? Even a fool can make money by transporting goods!" Su Xinyi said.
"The border market is not open yet. If I get caught doing this, I'll lose my head."
"Don't worry about it. It's my business. Just tell me whether you want to do it or not. If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else."
Mu Xing knew Su Xinyi's personality. She said this not to test him, but because she really thought so. He frowned for a long time before saying, "It doesn't make much sense to go back to Beijing with you, but I'm not good at business. If you really want me to do it, I have to find someone who knows this business to take care of it. Are you worried?"
"As long as it's not Ma Rude's confidant, there's nothing to worry about." Su Xinyi said with a final decision. She had a grudge with the Ma family, and the Ma family's people would definitely overturn her backyard.
Mu Xing choked for a moment and said, "Of course not."
"That's fine." Su Xinyi said happily, "This matter is of great importance. It's not enough to just do business. You also need to have the military deterrence to walk outside the Great Wall. Otherwise, the caravan will only become meat in the mouths of others when it enters the grassland. I am naturally relieved to hand it over to you. You can arrange your subordinates by yourself. Just use those you trust."
A general can lead troops as easily as his arms, and the same is true for businessmen. If his subordinates are not loyal, the caravan will get into trouble sooner or later.
Mu Xing, a heartless person, also had an unspeakable emotion in his heart at this time. After a while, he nodded, "If you trust me, I will lead the team for you."
If he followed her back to the capital, he would be bored in a house. Could she let him continue to be a killer?
Under the feet of the emperor, the world is bright and clear. It's good to have a head on the neck. I don't want to change places.
"Of course I trust you. Although you have many flaws, you are very trustworthy."
Mu Bu:...
Don't be angry, don't be angry, just think of her as praising him!
"Besides, leading a team to do business outside the Great Wall is not just for making money. The main purpose is to open up trade routes, draw maps of the places you have passed, and find out the relationship between the tribes outside the Great Wall. Whether it is the Tatars or the Wala, they will go to war with us sooner or later. We will take advantage of their serious injuries this time to find out the tribes on the grassland first."
Mu Xing listened with a serious look, looked up at Su Xinyi's face as she spoke seriously, and it was hard to imagine that a woman would think about so many things. He would never dream of doing these things. Besides the strangeness and surprise, there was also a wonderful emotion in his heart.
Country, justice, court, emperor, these are as far away as the stars in the sky for a down-and-out killer like him, but with Su Xinyi, it seems as easy as reaching out to pick the stars, it's really strange.
Mu Xing was done, Tian Zao's breakfast was ready, Zhan Qiao and the others hadn't come back yet, Su Xinyi simply looked at Tian Zao and asked: "I will most likely return to Beijing after this war, will you and Bao Datong go with me or stay?"
Su Xinyi didn't avoid Tian Zao when talking to Mu Xing before, Tian Zao heard clearly, and knew the reason why the sixth lady returned to the capital. After a silence, he said: "I want to stay."
Su Xinyi knew this would be the answer, and said with a smile: "I don't think there will be any major wars in the next two or three years, so it's good for you to stay, just in time to adapt and grow. This time, we will establish The merits are enough to allow you to transfer to the military smoothly. Do you want to stay in Zhangping Prefecture or go to Yulinwei? "
Tian Zao thought for a while and said, "Go to Yulinwei, there is still land we have opened there."
Su Xinyi was happy all of a sudden and said, "It's good to go to Yulinwei. You are familiar with the people there, which is conducive to your integration into the border army."
This kid is very smart and can make choices. Zhangping Prefecture is better than Yulinwei, but Zhangping Prefecture is relatively more complicated and it is more difficult to get ahead. They already have a little foundation in Yulinwei and have a harmonious relationship with everyone. It is indeed easier to take root there.
Soon Zhanqiao and the others came back. Everyone had dinner and knew Su Xinyi's decision. Bao Datong had no objection. He would go wherever Tian Zao went.
Zhanqiao and Cao Qing are Su family members. They must follow Su Xinyi back to the capital, but Mu Xing was afraid that he could not support it alone at the beginning, so he asked Zhanqiao and Cao Qing who would stay and lead the caravan with Mu Xing.
Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing exchanged a glance, and then Cao Qing said, "I'll stay here first. When the caravan gets going, Zhan Qiao can take turns with me to go out of the customs."
Zhan Qiao's personality is similar to Mu Xing's. Neither of them is particularly flexible. Cao Qing is different. He is very tactful and smooth. Su Xinyi also likes him, so she nodded in agreement.
After these things were handled, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at everyone and said with a smile, "In the future, Tian Zao and Bao Datong will be in Yulinwei, and they can take care of each other, so I can feel at ease in the capital."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to get the documents for going out of the customs." Zhan Qiao frowned and said.
Su Xinyi nodded, "Of course it's not easy. I will find a way to do this. The trade will not be open, but we can take other ways."
She decided to drag Prince Rong into the water. Most of the credit should naturally go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she still had to think about how to operate it.
Prince Rong is a good man now, but he still has a queen behind him. Su Xinyi had seen this in her previous life, so she had to be on guard.
"Do what you should do. I'll go out for a walk." Su Xinyi decided to try to build friendship with Prince Rong. Anyway, she was free, so she wanted to find out the truth. Last time she talked to Prince Rong about this matter, although he didn't nod, he was interested, so she could add fuel to the fire.
Before leaving, Su Xinyi looked at Cao Qing and asked, "Did my eldest brother leave a message?"
Cao Qing shook his head, "The people around the prince said that there was no message, but the prince wrote a letter and sent it back to the capital."
Su Xinyi nodded, knowing that the pursuit was imminent, and she was afraid that her eldest brother had no time to leave any message, so she walked out when she thought of this.
As soon as she left, Pang Lan arrived. When she asked, she found out that the sixth lady went to visit His Royal Highness Prince Rong, and her face was so subtle.
He turned back to report to His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness was discussing matters with General Zhu, so he waited for everyone to leave before going in to report.
Yan Junchu was slightly stunned when he heard Su Xinyi go to find Prince Rong, then slowly stood up and said as if he didn't care, "I'll go and see too."
Pang Lan followed His Royal Highness out, and Miss Su Liu went to find His Royal Highness Rong. His Royal Highness always felt that something was wrong with the past.
