Chapter 210 Someone Burns Food
That night, the military camp was filled with joy.
Many soldiers wiped their tears as they looked at the white rice in their bowls. They did not dare to eat like this at home, and they did not expect that they could eat such good white rice in their lifetime.
Tears dripping onto white rice taste salty, but in the eyes of everyone it is the most delicious food in the world.
"Hehehe...this is delicious."
"This rice is so delicious. It's worth dying for if I can eat a big bowl of it today." A young soldier who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen said this and was hit hard on the wrist by the old soldier next to him.
He scolded in a low voice: "Don't say anything careless, understand? Be careful when you speak, and spit on the ground a few times."
The soldier was not annoyed. He laughed foolishly and pouted a few times, saying, "Brother is teaching me a lesson. I will have many more bowls of rice to eat in the future, hehehe..."
Seeing that he was so well behaved, the old soldier could not bear to scold him anymore. He casually picked up a large piece of meat for him and said with a smile, "Eat it. The chef said that we should have enough food today."
Xia Yining stood outside the tent and watched the scene quietly without saying a word, which made everyone frightened and worried that the little girl could not bear it.
In fact, the Prime Minister's wife and Mrs. He were not much better off. They knew that being a soldier was hard and that not only could one get injured but also lose one's life.
only···
After seeing them today, I realized how ridiculous their ideas were. The people can live a peaceful life only because of the soldiers fighting hard on the border.
Many of them are very young, only in their teens, and mothers cannot bear to see such scenes.
The Prime Minister's wife thought for a moment and said, "Mother has a lot of dowry, why not take it out and exchange it for some money so that your brothers can go out and buy food, it will at least be of some help."
Xia Yining came back to her senses and shook her head, then said, "Don't worry, Ning'er has already figured out what to do. Since the country is short of food, Ning'er will provide it."
"We just need the emperor to buy it with money, and then improve the border fields, grow food to be self-sufficient, and then we can continue the cycle of development."
This is what she had just thought about seriously. It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. If the border can be self-sufficient and fill their stomachs, it will be a good thing no matter how you look at it.
The only difference is that the times are different. This matter must be consulted with the emperor first. Otherwise, if someone deliberately accuses the frontier army of rebellion, she will go crazy.
She immediately ordered people to prepare pen and ink, and wrote about what she had seen at the frontier. She also said in the tone of a little girl's coquettishness that she wanted to make money, and asked if the emperor would buy it.
In a few words, he explained the matter of growing geese for food in the frontier clearly, and then walked outside the tent and shouted, "Send a letter to the emperor, 800 miles away."
Royal Secret Guard: "!!!"
I looked at my friend in disbelief. He had been hiding well along the way. I didn't expect...
"Did you reveal your whereabouts?"
"It's not me, is it you?
"No, it can't be me."
Finally, he showed up, took the letter respectfully, and couldn't help asking, "How did Miss Ning'er know we were here?"
Xia Yining raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Breath."
"After we leave Xiaotian Village, you will follow closely. If any animals in the forest try to get close, you will deal with them."
She glanced at him with some sympathy and said, "Actually, I wanted to invite you guys when I was cooking. After all, it's not tasty to eat randomly roasted meat. But considering that you were on a mission, I didn't tell you."
Royal Secret Guard: “…”
Sob, sob, sob... He wanted to cry. The food at the back was getting better and better, but they could only roast wild animals at random. They were so greedy at that time.
Seeing his expression becoming more and more painful, Xia Yining covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
The Royal Guards were helpless when they saw her playful look, so they continued to ask, "We are the elite among the guards. Miss Ning'er can tell from our aura that our martial arts skills have definitely declined."
"When I deliver the letter today, I will also ask the Emperor to send a group of people to protect Miss Ning'er."
Xia Yining fixed his eyes, looked at him and asked, "What is the Royal Secret Guard being sent back to wait for you?"
This person was surprised. He didn't expect...
"Miss Ning'er, after the subordinates are sent back, the lightest punishment will be to retrain from the beginning, and the worst punishment will be..." He didn't say the rest, for fear of scaring the girl.
"In serious cases, he might die, right?"
The royal secret guard raised his eyes and looked at him, but felt that he could not understand the person in front of him, so he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
"Isn't it good to live well? Besides, it's not that your martial arts skills are low. As long as the person is alive, I will definitely feel his aura. You tell the emperor and he will understand."
"As for the rest of you, just stay in the dark. Especially Ning'er and the elders are particularly important. Protect them well, and your mission will be accomplished." Xia Yining looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
She is not a saint, but she will not kill innocent people.
As long as the person does not hurt her bottom line, she will not kill him, even with her knife.
The royal secret guards understood that Miss Ning'er wanted to protect them.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Miss Ning'er." His tone was full of respect and gratitude.
"Well, don't grill meat by yourself in the future. Ning'er will tell mom to save food for you, so just get it from the pot yourself." After saying this, she turned into a child in a second and ran into the tent on her short legs.
You can also clearly hear the little baby voice shouting: "Mom~~Mom~~~Ning'er is so sleepy, please help me sleep online~!"
What he said was strange, but the Royal Guards found it very cute.
After returning to the dark place, he said, "Did you hear what Miss Ning'er said? From now on, be careful to protect the Prime Minister's wife and the He family couple, and don't let them get into trouble."
Because the food in the military camp was very good, the dinner lasted until very late. At midnight, the soldier, who was about 18 or 19 years old, got up to go to the bathroom.
Instinctively he glanced in the direction of the granary and saw two sneaky dark shadows. He instantly became alert.
Just as I was about to shout, the fire suddenly became bigger the next second.
This really annoyed him. He first shouted for people to come over, and then rushed forward with a spear, cursing.
"Fuck you! I just had a good meal and someone comes to cause trouble. I'll kill you little thieves."
The enemy soldiers who set the fire did not expect to be discovered so quickly and tried to flee immediately. The soldiers who were already well fed and well-watered became even more angry.
Some of them didn't even have their clothes on and just rushed out with their bare chests.
"Do you really think your grandfather is dead? You came in like this and set fire to the food. You beat your mother so hard that she would recognize you. Humph!"
"Beat him and break his legs. Don't let go of his arms either."
The young soldier who was pushed to the side was so angry that he wanted to squeeze in but couldn't. He was very angry, and those who were older than him didn't dare to say anything.
Helplessly, he stepped back, keeping an eye on his surroundings. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the fire, which had not yet started, was quickly put out.
The small enemy attack did not alarm Xia Yining and others, and they did not learn about it until the next morning.
