MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1080 You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!
Chapter 1080: You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!
The Marquis neatly tore up the note and burned it to ashes on a candle before responding, "Since it is not mentioned in the official document, this matter should not be announced for the time being. It cannot be disclosed to anyone except you and me."
"It's... Mr. Marquis." Li Laosi was still a little dazed and shouted in a low voice, "Gu Li? Mr. Jiang? Well... wasn't Gu Li a beggar taken in by Mr. Jiang? And he also worked as a steward for Fu Niu'er. , in charge of those branches all over the world..."
Mr. Hou was also anxious and walked slowly in circles in the tent.
Such a big thing happens, but he is not in Xindu. If the family fails to cope with it, what seems like a great blessing to outsiders may turn out to be a disaster that destroys the whole family.
But the matter has come to this, there is no point in worrying, he cannot rush back immediately.
I can only hope that the prince cherishes feathers, and at least for the sake of a good reputation, he will not touch the Li family easily.
And the Li family had better implement caution to the end and stay out of the trouble to stay safe.
Fear of fear, after the prince was sealed, the concubine also ended.
By then, the Li family knew the news and had no time to discuss it with him. They did something to protect the Northern Expeditionary Army and angered that person, and the result was in vain.
“Now that person’s thoughts are on balancing the court and supporting the prince. The next half month is our only chance, we must fight quickly!”
Master Hou's expression became more stern, and he was filled with murderous intent, "Ask Ye Shan to send a message home and provide a batch of grain and grass to help us reach the border in one fell swoop!"
"Okay, I'll go find Ye Shan right now. That kid Mu Jue is very capable. After the food and grass were destroyed last time, he and his family began to secretly provide backup." Li Laosi responded excitedly, talking to Mu in his words. Jui was very satisfied.
The Marquis thought of Mu Jue and his daughter, and his expression softened, and he said, "Weren't you originally dissatisfied with Mu Jue, but now you like him?"
Li Laosi coughed twice and said harshly, "Who is satisfied with him? Fu Niuer is the best girl in the world, and no boy is worthy of her. However, Mu Jue is not bad in comparison, at least If you are brave and capable, you will be put to good use.”
The Marquis didn't want to argue with him, so he opened the curtain and left the tent, heading back to the next door.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng walked towards him and asked, "Master Marquis, is there something going on at home?"
The Marquis shook his head and said nothing more.
Jiang Cheng then said, "Everyone is still discussing, and they are all a little angry. It is better for the Marquis to give some advice. There is no guarantee that anyone who has connections with Xindu will get into trouble if the news reaches... that person's ears."
The Marquis patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand, come in and talk."
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and entered the main tent with the Marquis, but Li Laosi turned around and walked into the dark night.
As expected, the generals were still gossiping, and they were all dissatisfied with the imperial court.
The emperor and his ministers in the new capital only knew how to live in a dream, and occasionally slapped their heads on the decisions they made and asked them to implement them.
I do n’t care about whether this decision is suitable for the situation in front of the eyes.
It’s really hateful!
Seeing the Marquis coming back, some people were anxious and wanted to persuade the Marquis.
As a result, the Marquis said, "The general is out, and the military orders are not obeyed. I will give a separate statement to explain the situation of the battle to the Emperor. As for now... attack with all our strength and fight quickly! We will strive to completely drive the barbarians out of the border within half a month and completely recapture it." Tianwu Mountains and Rivers!”
The generals were stunned for a moment, then became excited, and all responded, "Yes, Lord Marquis."
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Marquis, the third batch of grain and grass has not been delivered yet. Do you want to wait a few days?"
These words reminded the generals, and they all frowned.
Even though it is summer and the horses can eat grass, tens of thousands of soldiers cannot eat grass and leaves to satisfy their hunger.
What’s more, the drought is so severe that if it continues like this, it will be hard to find grass and leaves.
However, the Marquis gave everyone a reassuring pill in time, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements and will not let the soldiers starve to fight. Everyone go down and prepare. We will break camp tomorrow and advance north quickly!"
Everyone agreed again in unison, and no one questioned where the Marquis would supply food and grass. In the Northern Expedition, the words of the Marquis have always been more credible than the imperial edict!
The night is dark, like an invisible giant beast staring at the world, which makes people feel depressed and fearful.
In the Broken Gold Beach, the young and old men were sleeping well.
Because the master is back and everyone has a backbone, they have been working extra hard these days.
If it were such a drought in previous years, everyone would be so worried that they would want to go to heaven and earth.
After all, food is the most important thing for the people, and a loss of food production is a life-threatening matter.
But now they don’t have to worry at all.
Since the beginning of welcoming guests, Hot Spring Valley has used food instead of money to collect entrance fees.
Although it’s not much per day, only a few hundred kilograms of grain input.
But it cannot last as time goes by, and more and more food is stored.
The poor past has made everyone develop the habit of prudence and thrift.
The village only sells the old grain from the previous year at the beginning of spring every year, keeping the grain harvested from last year and this year as a base.
The beginning of spring this year is not looking good, so the village chief has made the decision and the old grain has not been sold.
For this reason, the village built two more small granaries, but they still couldn't accommodate them.
Fortunately, the princess found a way to store the grain in a reliable place.
So, drought is annoying, but it is within the acceptable range of people in Broken Gold Beach.
Heaven’s heart is the most merciful. If there is a drought this year, things will definitely get better next year.
In the words of the village chief, don’t scare yourself, live the life in front of you first.
In this section, men, women, and children in the village go to fetch water whenever they have free time. Even if they fetch one load a day, they can ensure that the two fruit trees on the mountain are full.
In the morning, the thin morning mist in the mountains dispersed, revealing an orchard that was much greener than elsewhere. The villagers would smile proudly when they saw it.
Jiayin had eaten, and as soon as he arrived at the front yard, he was pestered by Dahei and Erhei.
These two loyal guards followed Uncle Zhao and others on night patrol last night and contributed a lot.
Jiayin secretly fed them a few fish cakes, patted their big heads lovingly, and told them, "Don't let San Tiao find you, be careful of him scratching you. This is his favorite snack!"
Dahei and Erhei didn’t know if they understood, so they wagged their tails crazily.
Just as Wan'er came over, she couldn't help laughing when she saw this, "I don't know where Mu Guard found this good dog. It's really sensible and obedient, and it recognizes people very quickly. It never bites people in our village, but outsiders can tell the difference." Extremely accurate.”
After saying that, she ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to get food for Dahei and Erhei.
Jiayin looked up at the sun and asked his sister-in-law, "Uncle Hei and the others will be back in two days, and then they should go to Big Brother's place again.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go shopping in the city today and buy some jade pendants and hairpins for my eldest brother. If there are new books, buy some more. My eldest brother likes them. It’s also great to give to friends or students.
“After all, the southwest is too desolate, and these things are far less abundant and comprehensive than our new capital.”
Wan'er has been back for a few days and has almost settled all the trivial matters. She was very happy when her sister-in-law asked her to go shopping and she immediately agreed.
"Okay, when Uncle Hei and the others set off again, the fleet will also be heading south. Linlang and Huanhuan are both pregnant. I will also choose some longevity locks and collars for the children."
