Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 156 This gift, I like it very much

"My lord, these envoys who claim to be the Helian Tribe said they have something to do with you."

Yu An brought the three of Guraja to Jiang Qingyu.

"I've met Mr. Jiang, my name is Guraja, and I'm the maidservant of the little princess Helian."

"Our princess asked me to tell you a word. After half a month, she invites you to lead an army to fight eighty miles north of Luoxia Town!"

This statement came out.

Jiang Qingyu didn't say anything, but Bao Luozan, who was a prisoner beside him, was the first to taunt:
"Who is the little princess of the Helian family? Why has this prince never heard of this girl's name? I guess she's just a little girl born out of concubine and not favored!"

"How many soldiers can she have under her command? It's a joke to dare to fight with Mr. Jiang's army!"

"Didn't you see Brother Tuoba and Golden Eagle Cavalry were both defeated? Your Helian clan is the bottom of the eight tribes, what will you use to compete with Mr. Jiang?"

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Bao Luozan's mention of himself.

But he didn't open his mouth to deny the other party's words.

Obviously, he also thinks that the little princess of the Helian family is not qualified to be an enemy of Jiang Qingyu.

But Guraja proudly said:

"My princess is deeply loved by the leader and several princes. With one order, all the soldiers and horses of the Helian family can be mobilized!"

"I don't know if this is qualified to fight with Mr. Jiang?"

The crowd fell silent.

The Helian clan was at the bottom of the eight major tribes. Neither the Tuoba clan nor the Bao Luo clan had ever regarded it as a competitor to seize the royal court, but no matter how weak it was, it was still a big tribe, and it was not difficult to recruit 1 horses.

only……

I don't know why the little princess went crazy, but at this moment, she focused on Jiang Qingyu and insisted on fighting with him and leading the army.

After losing the fight, the Helian family was completely devastated.

If she wins the battle, her reputation will rise greatly, but the Helian family must also suffer a lot of losses, and any loss of the small number of troops will also reduce the hope of becoming a royal court!

Why did she do such a thankless thing?

No one can figure it out.

But Jiang Qingyu thought of another thing:

"Is your princess watching the battle these two days? Or..."

"She has long expected that in the battle of Blackwater Lake, it will be my son who wins?"

Guraja stated frankly:
"My princess has great confidence in Mr. Jiang. A few days ago, she concluded that Mr. Jiang will win, and even made a bet with me..."

"At first, I thought the princess was doomed, but these two days, my son has opened my eyes, and made me admire the princess's vision even more."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were abnormal.

One is a notorious idiot, and the other is the number one genius in Beidi that everyone is looking forward to. The two lead the battle. No one would think that Tuoba Yu would be the loser, right?
Who is this little princess, and why did she predict who would win and who would lose?
"What's your name, princess?"

Bao Luozan couldn't help asking.

He knows all the well-known princes and princesses of the eight major tribes of Beidi.

But Guraja looked embarrassed:
"Sorry, I don't know the name of the little princess."

"We all call her Little Princess."

"..."

Including Luo Zan and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, and they both saw the strangeness.

How can there be a maid who doesn't know the name of the princess?

Is that person really He Lianxiong's biological daughter?
"Young master, be careful of fraud."

Yu An reminded softly from the side.

Right now they have just defeated Tuoba Yu, wiped out a thousand Golden Eagle Riders, and captured nearly five thousand Di people. It can be said that they will definitely become the target of public criticism in the next period of time!
Helian's invitation to fight at this time probably has no good intentions.

Utona also sneered and said:
"As far as this princess knows, He Lianxiong has only eight sons and has never had a daughter. The little princess you speak of doesn't exist at all!"

"So you are lying!"

"Either someone else invited Mr. Jiang to fight, not the Helian family at all, or the Helian family dug a hole and waited for Mr. Jiang to jump in!"

"In short, this princess doesn't believe a single word of what you say!"

"..."

Guraja was speechless.

Utona's suspicions are well founded.

Since the little princess came to Helian's, Helianxiong ordered to block the news from the outside world, so her existence has not been known to outsiders for the time being.

but……

I believe that after she gets the news of the battle at Blackwater Lake, she will definitely show up in person and announce her engagement to Jiang Qingyu.

"Master Jiang, everything I say is true!"

"If you don't believe me, you can tie the three of us as prisoners first. I assure you, within three days, you will definitely hear the exact news about the little princess!"

Turimu and the other prince who came with Guraja gave her a hard look when they saw that they were forcibly dragged into the water.

Before you take the initiative to be a prisoner next time, can you ask them for their opinion first?

however……

Jiang Qingyu rejected the proposal:

"My son has enough captives right now, and there is no shortage of the three of you."

"Your name is Guraja. There is a Gula tribe forty miles away. What does it have to do with you?"

Guraja said truthfully:

"I am the princess of the Gula tribe."

"The two who came with me are both princes of the middle tribe."

The corners of Jiang Qingyu's mouth curled up slightly:
"very good."

"My son can fight, but there is one thing, I hope you can be responsible for providing the food and grass for my soldiers and five thousand prisoners for the next half month!"

"I believe you don't want the five thousand captives to starve to death on the land of Beidi instead of dying in battle?"

"This……"

The three looked at each other.

Each medium-sized tribe has more than [-] people, and it is not difficult to feed [-] captives with the combination of grain storage and grazing cattle and sheep, but this has nothing to do with their respective tribes?

What a disaster!
"can!"

Guraja was the first to agree in a deep voice.

She knows the temper of the little princess, if the appointment to the war is messed up, she will definitely die when she goes back!
On the contrary, if this task is completed beautifully, not only oneself, but the entire Gula tribe will benefit from it, and the food and grass paid will be returned ten times!
"it is good!"

Turimu was the second to agree.

Because he caught a glimpse of Tuoba Yu quietly nodding to himself.

He didn't dare to disobey Tuoba Yu's order, let alone starve Tuoba's soldiers.

What's more, in this battle, his father, leader Tuli, also put in a lot of effort in order to show his loyalty to the Tuoba clan, so a considerable part of the [-] captives were still members of the Tuoba clan!
If not, Tu Limu would not have bitten the bullet and came to see Jiang Qingyu.

"I... have no opinion."

When the remaining prince heard that the other two agreed, he had no choice but to agree.

In fact, he also felt that the promise was right.

Because Jiang Qingyu is currently short of food and grass, if she and others refuse to provide it, then the other party can only lead an army to grab it!
And the tribe the three of them belonged to happened to be the few medium-sized tribes closest to the Blackwater Lake...

Therefore, agreeing to provide food and grass is not only protecting the lives of five thousand Beidi captives, but also protecting their respective tribes from a war and massacre!

……

After a stick of incense.

The three returned to the spot where they watched the battle, and after a while, they parted ways and rushed back to their respective tribes with their guards to prepare the food and grass that Jiang Qingyu asked for.

As for Jiang Qingyu...

But he ordered people to throw all the heavy armor that belonged to the Golden Eagle Cavalry into the Black Water Lake.

miles away.

Zhao Lu and Wu Tuobu led an army each, facing each other from a distance:

Seeing this scene, Zhao Lu took out a notebook and added a line of small characters under the "Tenth Day of the First Month" in the combat record:
[At a quarter of noon, the fourth son ordered people to sink all the weapons and armor of the thousand golden eagle riders into the lake. 】

And the other side.

But a scout came to Wutuobu's side and passed a few words for Jiang Qingyu:

"My son has ordered people to set up ten layers of fishing nets under the water in advance. After I lead the army to leave, you can send people to salvage this batch of heavy armor."

"in addition……"

"Thank you for the list."

"I like this gift very much."

Wu Tuobu smiled kindly towards Jiang Qingyu's direction.

That list was a great gift that he worked so hard to obtain. It was originally intended to be given to King Jubei himself, but after seeing Jiang Qingyu defeating Tuoba Yu, he thought it would be a good idea to give it to the other party s Choice.

And after sending out the list, he had already foreseen what Jiang Qingyu would do next.

That would be something that would impress the entire Anbei Army and the entire Chu State.

"And I, Wu Tuo, will definitely become Beidi Royal Court!"

"Unfortunately……"

"The high priest will never see that day."
