Chapter 314 Troubled Times 34
It is not easy to leave the border. Of course, it is not Chu Nanze who is not easy to leave.

The emperor wanted Chu Nanze to leave the capital and go to the border as soon as possible. As long as Chu Nanze left, no one would look at him for money.

As for Chu Nanze's food and salary, what the army at the border will eat, and whether they will be unable to fight because of starvation, this is none of his business.

The trouble was taking Xu Sanniang away. As a general with military power and a good reputation among the people, Xu Sanniang had always stayed in the capital as a hostage to hold Chu Nanze back.

The emperor would definitely not let Chu Nanze take Xu Sanniang away, so he needed to steal Xu Sanniang away.

Not only Xu Sanniang, but Wushuang, as the wife of Chu Nanze, is also a hostage who needs to stay in the capital.

Fortunately, Chu Nanze was well prepared. He chose two people who looked five points like Wushuang Xu Sanniang as substitutes, and stayed in the capital to temporarily confuse the emperor.

The two stand-ins have practiced martial arts since childhood and have the ability to protect themselves. When Chu Nanze arrives at the border, they will leave the General's Mansion, leaving behind an empty General's Mansion.

As for whether the substitute will reveal his secrets, there is no need to worry about it in a short time.

Xu Sanniang didn't like socializing with people very much, mainly because she hated those intrigues.

And Wushuang's health is not good, a sickness can block outsiders' visits, and now there is no imperial concubine to invite people into the palace, Wushuang, the general's wife, can be completely invisible.

The general's mansion left a double to confuse everyone, Wushuang and Xu Sanniang pretended to be peasant women and slipped out of the capital wearing tattered clothes.

After leaving the capital, the two did not go to find Chu Nanze, but quickly entered the caravan that Xiao Baizhi had prepared, and separated from Chu Nanze to the border.

Although the emperor was stupid, he was very suspicious. As a general who held military power, Chu Nanze was naturally the key object of the emperor's suspicion, so there were many spies left by the emperor in his army.

Among them, some were subdued by Chu Nanze, and some he deliberately stayed for the emperor to monitor, so that the emperor would not suspect that they had made a foolish move together and would look for trouble.

But this time Chu Nanze was completely cold-hearted towards the emperor, and he didn't plan to come back after going to the border, and he didn't even plan to listen to the emperor's orders, so there was no need for these spies to stay.

It's just that it's inconvenient to clean up these spies on the way. I'm afraid that if they don't clean up, it will be troublesome to send a letter to the emperor if someone slips through the net.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he still has soldiers and horses that can be mobilized.

If the emperor felt that Chu Nanze was going to rebel, he would have someone stop him halfway, no matter whether they could stop him or not, there would be losses.

It's not worth it, bear with it, wait until you return to your own territory, and clean up these little bugs casually.

But keeping these little bugs means it's not safe to follow Chu Nanze's army.

So Chu Nanze simply asked Xu Sanniang and Wushuang to go with Xiao Baizhi's caravan to avoid trouble.

Wushuang himself also hopes to go with Xiao Baizhi, because Xiao Baizhi, Xiao Wuyou, and Wushuang will be busy buying food with those merchants along the way.

Now going to the border is starting from the beginning, Chu Nanze has feelings for Wushuang, but Xiao Baizhi and Xiao Wuyou are just Chu Nanze's love house and cub.

It was as if Xiao Baizhi was worried that he couldn't place his foundation on a man's illusory feelings. If he wanted to gain a foothold at the border, he needed his own foundation.

For the credit of his family, this time Wushuang did not hide any secrets at all.

She made full use of her three-inch tongue, and often many big businessmen who were determined not to use grain for business were eventually tricked by Wushuang into selling them a lot of grain.

Wushuang is especially good at building momentum, and all kinds of precious antiques and Wushuang will build momentum before they arrive.

The daughter of a certain wealthy businessman is carrying a famous calligraphy or precious antique, and wants to meet with a certain collector to exchange appreciation treasures.

Then this treasure caused enough sensation that Xiao Baizhi arranged to ask for the price, and the price was often very expensive.

Some families can spend a lot of money to buy treasures without blinking an eye.

But some families are either reluctant to part with money, or don’t have enough money, or have a bright appearance and empty inside, and don’t have enough money to buy treasures.

But the atmosphere has been heightened here, and they all expressed that they were going to grab it. It wouldn't be too shameful if they couldn't pay.

What should I do if I can't get so much silver in my hand?Wushuang gave a workaround, seeds, grain, cloth, all daily necessities and medicinal materials can be used to buy treasures with silver.

In this way, what Xu Sanniang said is that in addition to being used for gifts, the antique calligraphy and paintings that are not used are exchanged for a large number of daily necessities and medicinal materials, which are continuously transported to the border.

At the end of the day's rapid march, Chu Nanze sat not far from the fire, waiting for Han Lin to roast chicken for him.

The chickens were brought from a chicken farm, and they were carefully cared for along the way, so few of them died.

Chu Nanze took the water bag, drank the water, and flipped through the information in his hand.

Information about Wushuang's every move, including every detail, naturally includes how much food, cloth and even life-saving medicinal materials Wushuang brought along along the way.

Chu Nanze looked at it, his heart throbbing. He was a little shameless thinking that Wushuang must be working so hard to get food, cloth and medicinal materials for himself.

We must know that there is a shortage of food at the border, but at the same time, there is also a shortage of cloth, things to keep out the cold, and medicinal materials for curing diseases.

It's just that other scarce items are not so important compared to the food that will kill people if it is gone.

But now, his good wife helped him think of everything, and he didn't even dare to think that he could get back so many good things with money.

Han Lin, who was next to him, came over with the roasted chicken, and saw the handsome face of his general smiling foolishly at the information.

Needless to say, the information must be Madam's news. Ever since the general fell in love with Madam, he has always been so stupid from time to time. It's really blinding.

Handing the grilled chicken to Chu Nanze, Han Lin deliberately raised his voice and said, "General, it's time to eat."

Chu Nanze took the roast chicken, took a bite, and said happily: "This chicken is so tender, it is indeed the chicken my wife asked to raise."

Han Lin secretly rolled his eyes, how could the chickens be tender after several months? The chickens raised by the farmer are willing to eat only after they have stopped laying eggs, not for firewood.

Han Lin roasted two chickens, one for Chu Nanze and one for himself.

Chu Nanze ate a few mouthfuls of grilled chicken, couldn't help but handed the information to Han Lin, and said braggingly: "This time when we go back to the border, Madam has prepared many things for us. The soldiers don't have to suffer from the cold this year. If you are sick, you don’t have to worry about running out of medicine.”

Han Lin unfolded the information and looked carefully. When he saw the long list of urgently needed items in the army that his wife had brought back from the information, Han Lin also became a little excited.
