Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 298 Playing the long game to catch the big fish

After reading the letter, the queen put it directly on the candle and lit it. Is there anything to eat at the border? He deserves it. No one who goes against their Yan family can expect to end up well.

Mammy couldn't help but interjected: "Should we find a way to hide the matter of food and grass from Concubine Ji?"

The queen waved her hand: "No need."

Mammy said: "Do you really believe that Concubine Ji will stand by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The queen said something that was difficult for others to understand: "Who makes the emperor look so much like the deceased benevolent emperor, and the third child looks so much like your majesty?"

Mammy carefully studied the meaning and quietly retreated.

After returning to the kitchen with the bowl of blood swallow, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside me, and grandma slapped it away: "What are you doing? I scared your mother."

The little palace maid Chunliu pouted: "I must be tired of it and don't drink it, right? Just give it to me, mother. I don't mind the rest of the drink. This thing is so expensive. It would be a waste to pour it out!"

However, Mammy poured the blood swallow into the swill bucket without hesitation: "Don't even think about it. How many times have I told you that no one is allowed to touch the things that I have used, unless you don't want to die!"

Once upon a time, there was a palace maid who secretly ate a pastry that the queen had bitten, and was beaten to death. Chunliu rubbed her arm: "I know, I know, I just won't drink." The richer the person, the more problems they have. !

How many people out there don't have enough to eat? But my lady only uses one bite of such a good thing.

At the border, Rong Yan confirmed again: "The letter about the food and grass has indeed been delivered, right?"

Yun'er replied: "Reply to Your Highness, eight hundred miles of urgent documents, Yun Pian also received a message, saying that Your Majesty is very angry because of this matter."

Rong Yan sneered: "What's the use of getting angry? The truth is to bring the food earlier."

Yun'er frowned and said: "This bandit is so courageous, and he even dares to change his mind."

Rong Yan flipped through the military newspaper for a while, then turned around and asked, "Do you really think this was done by bandits?"

Yun'er was confused and Rong Yan said: "How could the bandits have the courage to provoke such a large army?"

"Besides, the bandits only acted for profit. Why did they need to risk being chased by officers and soldiers and burn down the food and grass? They did it so secretly that they didn't even have a chance to save it."

Yun'er's eyes widened: "Master, what do you mean?"

Rong Yan looked cold: "Go and find the spies."

Not to mention him, even Yun'er now hates the word "spy" deeply.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

After Rong Yan arranged the matter, he was still puzzled. His father was also very anxious about the border issues. Why has he not replenished the food supply now? How can so many officers and soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy if they don't have enough to eat?

"When you come, please borrow food from those around you first. Remember to be polite to the people and never allow trouble to hurt anyone."

However, the border crossing was so difficult and the people themselves couldn't even afford to eat, so how could they possibly scrape together extra food?

"In addition, send people to the officials in surrounding towns for help and ask them to open granaries. When the food from the capital is delivered, it will be returned to them immediately."

What is irritating is that the nearby officials all agree that the grain harvest has been poor in recent years and the granaries are empty. They can only reluctantly send some old grain, and some of it is even moldy.

Rong Yan suppressed his anger: "Sort the grains, remove the moldy ones, sort out the edible ones, dry them, and store them properly."

Yun'er asked: "Are we going to throw away the moldy ones?"

Rong Yan sighed: "First...keep it, I hope it won't be used one day."

"Ask Twelve to take some people with you, and then go to the town to buy grain from a grain merchant. Even if the price is high, you will accept it."

Yun'er said worriedly: "But Master, you have used your own money to buy a lot of medicinal materials on the way here. We... don't have much left... the current food is enough to last for a while, why don't we wait first?"

The Third Prince's Mansion was not as wealthy as the other princes, and no one expected that there would be a shortage of money at the border when they went out, so they didn't bring much with them.

Rong Yan's tone was firm: "Buy first and then talk about it. We can think of ways to save money at any time, but food and grass can't wait."

"Besides, the longer you wait, the more likely those profiteers will be."

Yun'er felt that his master was right, so he immediately went to deliver the order.

The third prince's subordinates all mobilized to search for more food and grass, but the results could not be seen in a short time. Yun'er was very worried that the remaining food would soon be exhausted.

Jihu didn't make any move for the time being, so Rong Yan had to change the rice into thick porridge first, and then add some dried meat to add oil and water. The soldiers ate in silence, tightening their belts one by one.

The destruction of food and fodder could not be concealed, and the fire in the military camp that night burned into everyone's heart. So when the spy was found out, every soldier wanted to go forward and chop him. He was hung in front of the tent for three days and three nights, every day. People came to him at night and wanted to kill him.

Death is terrible, but it is just a matter of picking up a knife and falling. It cannot compare with the pain of being frightened every night and not being able to die...

Fortunately, after being assassinated several times without success, in order to ensure his safety, Rong Yan brought people into his camp. His expression was complicated: "Are you from the Yan family?"

The spy kept silent, but Rong Yan asked people to let him go.

Knowing that every time he wanted to kill the turtle grandson, he was blocked by the Third Highness's people. The officers and soldiers in the army complained quite a lot. They all felt that the Third Highness was not a person on the battlefield after all, and acted like a rude mother-in-law. This thought came to his mind when he heard that the Third Highness was not a person on the battlefield. It reached its peak when I wanted to let this person go.

Several lieutenants rushed into Rong Yan's camp to argue with him. Unexpectedly, the three highnesses, who had no access to oil and salt, became anxious and tied up the lieutenants and threw them out of the tent, under strict supervision.

The lieutenants who were treated as prisoners were so angry that even though they were tied up, they still cursed and said all kinds of unpleasant things.

Yun Wei, who was in charge of guarding, was angry, but he obeyed His Highness's orders and did not argue with them.

The spy was let go under such circumstances and bowed to Rong Yan before leaving.

"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. It seems that His Highness is a smart man."

"After I return, I will tell my master that His Highness does not want to be our enemy."

He didn't mention the Yan family at all, but Rong Yan couldn't guess.

After he walked away, Rong Yan walked into the lieutenants in person and untied the ropes for them.

The lieutenants rolled their eyes and the boss was about to scold him for being hypocritical, but he heard him ask: "Generals, do you dare to go for revenge with this kid?"

The lieutenants were confused, and Rong Yan said patiently: "There were many people attacking the camp that day, and they appeared suddenly. There must be a hiding place for them nearby."

"Among the captured spies, this one is the most cowardly and life-saving, and the least intelligent. Follow him and you may gain something."

Of course there was more than one spy, but those who resisted to the death and were loyal and loyal were all killed, and all in front of this person.

Judging from the fact that he fainted from shock and became incontinent, this person must be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Your Highness is not letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but is fishing for the big fish for a long time.
