Chapter 49
Xia Hanyu immediately felt deafening, and subconsciously grabbed Xia Ji's arm with one hand.

Cheng Ying on the side laughed complacently, "Your Highness, the old minister specially selected elite soldiers for you, isn't it good?"

Xia Hanyu naturally agreed, with a smile on his face, "well-trained, methodical, really good."

"Then I would like to thank General Cheng for reluctantly parting with her."

Cheng Ying waved his hand, "Where is it, what belongs to His Highness naturally wants the best, otherwise how can he be worthy of the status of His Highness."

What he said, people who don't know think he is a person who is used to flattering people.

In fact, even in front of the emperor, he has never had such a good face.

Xia Hanyu took two steps forward, with cold eyes, he made sure to sweep past the five thousand elite soldiers, and spoke after a while.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

When everyone got up, five thousand pairs of eyes fell on her body, Xia Hanyu didn't seem to notice.

"From now on, you are my private soldiers, and your master is only me, understand?"

"understand!"

"Very good." Xia Hanyu nodded in satisfaction, with a smile on her brows, and her tone was gentle.

"Of course, if you have followed me, I will not treat you badly, but I have also set requirements for you. You can stay only if you all meet my requirements. Anyone who fails to meet them will be sent away. Come back here, surely everyone will not want to lose face, right?"

"Correct!"

Standing here, they are elites, and everyone understands that following Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will naturally have a better future, and it is the greatest good thing if they can stay.

Cheng Ying on the side heard her words and strode forward.

"Your Highness, why do you still have requests? What request can you tell me?"

"Anyway, it's a good thing." Xia Hanyu smiled, "General, don't worry, I will give you this good thing when the time comes, I believe you will like it."

Cheng Ying: "Can't we say it now?"

Xia Hanyu's voice was cold: "No."

Cheng Ying looked disappointed, Fan Ren rolled his eyes and suddenly took a step forward.

"Your Highness, if it's really a good thing, wouldn't it be a good time to say it now?"

"presumptuous!"

Xia Hanyu turned around, her pupils turned cold instantly, looking at him with a trace of scrutiny.

"Are you questioning Bengong?"

The other party immediately knelt down, "The last general dare not."

Xia Hanyu snorted softly, "If you don't dare, then shut up, otherwise, I don't mind sending you to prison to be sober."

Fan Ren lowered his head, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but unfortunately he had to hold back his dissatisfaction at the moment.

"Your Highness."

Cheng Ying wanted to intercede for him, but Xia Hanyu raised her hand to her red lips, narrowing her beautiful eyes.

"Shh~"

"Old General Cheng, even my father has never interfered with my decision. How dare he question my decision in front of so many soldiers? If I agree with him, other soldiers should How do you look at Bengong's decision, and whether you will start to question Bengong too! So you said, should he be punished?"

Cheng Ying pondered and felt that what she said was indeed very reasonable, "What Your Highness said is that he should be punished."

"It's just Your Highness. After all, Fan Ren is a member of our army. Now that he has committed a mistake, can he be handed over to the minister for punishment? The minister will give His Highness an explanation!"

"Naturally." Xia Hanyu didn't intend to send him to prison, but he just wanted to find a reason to punish him.

It was also his own fault, for daring to directly hit him, it was no fault of him.

As for the Imperial Prison, he shouldn't have entered in this way, it would be too cheap for him.

Cheng Ying cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

"Come here, Fan Ren offends His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, pull him down and beat him with a hundred army sticks."

"Yes."

Soon, two soldiers dragged him down and beat him with a hundred army sticks in front of 5000 people. He was beaten to death, and his eyes almost stared at Xia Hanyu with hatred, but suddenly they met Xia Ji didn't dare to look at those dark eyes any longer.

The end of Xia Hanyu's eyes raised slightly, and she glanced at him, just as she met her eyes, Xia Ji was inexplicably startled, her ears turned red.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Your Highness."

Fu Ling and Yu Xiao finally arrived.

Fu Ling held the bag of snow salt well in her arms, trotted to her and complained in a low voice, her face full of grievances.

"Your Highness, you are leaving too fast, and the servants and Yu Qianhu will not be able to catch up with you no matter what."

Xia Hanyu reached out and touched her head, her brows were gentle, and there was no arrogance and alienation just now.

"Where's the snow salt?"

"Here, the servants are well protected, even if Yu Qianhu wants to help the servants, they won't give them."

In Fu Ling's mind, since Xia Hanyu entrusted her with the matter, she must never give it to others.

"My Poria is really good."

Xia Hanyu took the snow salt from Fu Ling's hand and walked up to Old General Cheng.

"Old General Cheng, can you retreat one or two times?"

Although Cheng Ying was a little confused, he obediently pushed the people behind him back.

Xia Hanyu opened the bag, "Old General Cheng, please take a look."

"This is..." Cheng Ying's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, "Your Highness, is this salt? It's so white!"

"That's right." Xia Hanyu nodded, "This is snow salt, which is extracted from those poisonous salt mines."

"That is to leave those poisonous substances and only extract non-toxic salt. Because it is as white and delicate as snow, it is called snow salt."

Cheng Ying held the bag of snow salt carefully with both hands, "Your Highness, is this snow salt really non-toxic?"

"It has been confirmed that it is non-toxic. After a while, the soldiers will no longer be short of salt."

"However, this matter is still a secret, so I hope that General Cheng will not tell anyone, including what I will say next."

Lest the speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Cheng Ying is not an idiot, so he soon understood, "Your Highness thinks that there are...traitors here?"

Xia Hanyu raised her hand again, "Shh~"

"The general knows it when he knows it, so why bother to say it, but if Jin Yiwei handles the case in the future, please cooperate a little bit."

This is one of the reasons she informed the matter in advance.

Otherwise, if he wanted to stop him, even Jin Yiwei would find it difficult to arrest people in the barracks, and would cause trouble instead.

"I understand."

Xia Hanyu was immediately satisfied.

"By the way, tell the general one more thing. Snow salt is priced at thirty cents a bucket."

After saying this, Xia Hanyu walked towards another place, leaving only Old General Cheng standing there stupidly.

"Is it only thirty coins?" He hurriedly looked at a plate of Xia Ji who was watching Xia Hanyu intently.

"Lord Xia, what His Highness said is serious?"

Xia Ji nodded coldly, "This is the price of salt set by His Highness for the sake of the people of the world, and His Highness also owns the method of making salt; if the general hears any remarks that damage His Highness's reputation in the future, I hope you can say something nice to her."

Cheng Ying's voice was deep, and he cupped his hands and swore: "I will speak for Your Highness. If anyone in my camp dares to say something wrong to His Highness, I will deal with it according to the military law!"

In this way, people's hearts have been won.
