Chapter 699 Did you do it?
Qingfeng and Xuli came out of the carriage, both of them shook off their goose bumps: "You two should stop it, there's no need to show off your affection like this in front of so many people!"
Xiao Chiye walked towards her, jumped onto the carriage and took off his shoes: "You kicked something dirty, it's better to throw it away to avoid bad luck."
Xia Wanniang took out a pair of new shoes from the carriage and put them on him: "If they are dirty, don't use them. I have plenty of shoes."
When the people saw the love in the two people's eyes, they all knew that this was not a case of stealing someone's love, but a deep love between two people.
Compared to Hong Caizhu's fairly fair face and Xia Wanniang's bright and charming appearance, they were all willing to believe that the person Xiao Chiye loved was Xia Wanniang.
They didn't take Hong Caizhu seriously, but what they didn't expect was that within two days, Mr. Qiu sent them two messages.
Wu Lingyu, whom they had met before, went crazy a few days ago after marrying the county magistrate's son. A madman and a fool are quite a match.
Xia Wanniang expressed her sympathy for the county magistrate. His stupid son was already a headache for him, and now there was a crazy princess. She didn't know whether Wu Xiao had a grudge against him.
The other piece of news was about Hong Caizhu, who was sold to a brothel. She was also kicked out of several houses by the Hong family and her name was deleted from the family tree.
Qingfeng looked at Xiao Chiye: "You did it?"
Xiao Chiye shook his head: "I was just trying to scare her, I didn't really do anything."
Xia Wanniang looked at the two of them and said, "Don't guess. Lord Hong did it himself. He might be afraid that we would punish him."
As soon as this news came out, many women in the capital who wanted to take advantage of Xiao Chiye were frightened and gave up their thoughts.
They don't want to end up like Hong Caizhu, who was sold to a brothel by her father and brother.
On the day of the grand court meeting, people still had to get up before dawn and line up at the entrance of the palace.
It was a rare day that Xia Wanniang woke up early in a good mood. She was not impatient at all and even chatted with the generals behind her.
"Princess, when can you supply us with more war horses from the northwest?" A general had been coveting their war horses for a long time.
You should know that the best war horses in the entire Daxia are in the northwest. They are fat and strong, with great fighting power and endurance.
Xia Wanniang: "As you know, horses can only produce one a year. It takes a long time to train them to adulthood. It takes several years to get a war horse that can go to the battlefield."
She was not lying. It takes three hundred days, or one year, for a war horse to be pregnant and give birth. It will take at least five years to reach adulthood, including training.
The generals were scratching their heads after hearing this. They now wish there were more horses in the northwest so that they could have some better horses.
Seeing their disappointed expressions, Xia Wanniang said, "Wait until I get back to see you. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to provide you with a batch of good war horses in two years at most."
"Princess, you can't forget about us!" Seeing that something was going to happen, another general came over immediately.
Xia Wanniang nodded and agreed: "I will send it to you if I have it, but I need to ask the Ministry of Revenue for funding. I have many other places to spend money!"
"No problem." The generals said loudly.
On the other side, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War felt their scalps tingling and felt as if they were about to suffer a disaster.
"Duke Zhenguo, I heard that you have wolves and jackals in your military camp. Is that true?" The other generals thought of other things.
Xiao Chiye nodded: "Indeed, they did. There was drought and heavy rain outside the pass before, and these wolves and jackals had nothing to eat, so they came to the military camp."
"Damn it, why don't we have such good things?"
"Go to your military camp, you are just noobs. Do you think anyone can tame a wolf?" another general retorted to him.
"That's true." The man who started the conversation asked again, "Did you also have the help of wolves and jackals in your last battle with the outsiders?"
Xiao Chiye nodded: "Well, they helped us a lot."
"How did you do it?"
"Actually, we should also thank our ancestors. They have been by our side since they were young and helped us at the critical moment." Xiao Chiye gave all the credit to Mo Wu and the others.
"Your family is so lucky that the wolves and jackals you raised for your children since they were young can help you fight in the war at the critical moment, and even bring back the strongest legion."
Another general suddenly had an idea: "What do you think? Should we go back and kidnap some wolf cubs and jackal cubs?"
