"Your Highness, do you want to eat roasted rabbit?"

Tie Jia's harsh words suddenly brought Murong Chen back to reality, and he instantly felt depressed.

Yes, Xue'er isn't here, so what does this rabbit do?

There is only a few ounces of meat. Do you really want to eat it?

He put the rabbit on the ground and let it jump away.

"All officers and soldiers of the Yan Army obey orders!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Don't catch any rabbits again!"

"..."

"What, what did His Highness say?"

"Your Highness said you are not allowed to catch rabbits again!"

"Why is there such a military order? What's wrong with the rabbit? What contribution has it made to the Yan Kingdom?"

……

After returning to Yangcheng Palace, Murong Chen started drinking again.

Murong Guang stopped trying to persuade him and just stayed by his side patiently.

"Xiaoguang, do you think life was this difficult before?"

Murong Guang smiled: "Second brother, don't you ask the question knowingly? The people's lives are getting better and better, and the eldest brother's court has also become more stable. How can you use the word "difficult"?

Murong Chen lowered his eyes: "But why do I feel that I used to have a hard time, but I was free and easy, but now that my life is better, living soberly is actually a kind of torture and torture."

Murong Guang was a little drunk, and he patted Murong Chen's shoulder heavily with his big hand: "Second brother, your wantonness or torture has nothing to do with whether you are poor or not, hahahaha."

Murong Chen became even more drunk. He raised the wine jar and poured the last drop of wine into his mouth.

"I don't care whether you are rich or poor, I just know that whatever you see, eat, or do nowadays is very boring!"

Murong Guang was silent.

Without the love in your heart, everything is meaningless.

I have known this feeling for a long time, but my second brother has only tasted it now.

*

It is winter again, the weather is wet and cold, and snow has not fallen for a long time in the heart of Chu State.

More and more people are getting sick, and medicinal materials are becoming more and more expensive.

"Your Highness, if we don't import medicine from Xiliang, I'm afraid the medicine shops in various places will not be able to sustain themselves."

Princess Yingxue put down the memorial of reconciliation, looked at the frowning general manager of Cheng Brand, and bit her lower lip unconsciously.

She didn't know that one of the medicines for treating wind and cold in the body could only be bought from Xiliang.

However, the Yan army has been defeated three times, and according to spies' reports, Murong Chen still has not withdrawn his troops, which shows that Yan's ambition is still there.

It was difficult to isolate the Yan army from the outside. If they rashly opened the country's gate and attracted spies to enter, it would definitely make the defense more difficult.

What’s more, it’s not possible to import medicines into just one or two cars. A large amount of medicines are imported into Chu every year, requiring hundreds or even thousands of manpower. Any lack of consideration will lead to disaster...

"Your Highness, please make up your mind quickly."

The general manager of the Cheng brand almost cried: "The cold is entering the body and the fever is not stopping. People are falling ill one after another. The disease is spreading wildly. If it is not treated as soon as possible, it will kill people!"

Princess Yingxue was very confused. People would die if the two armies fought, and people would die one after another if the wind and cold entered the body. The lives of the people must be saved no matter what.

After thinking about it, she called Zi Yan and Zhang Yong, two people she trusted enough, and gave them repeated instructions and careful instructions before letting them go to Xiliang.

But the days that followed seemed to be extremely rough.

Bandits broke out in the border town of Xiliang and some medicines and money were stolen.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Wenyao rebelled, and everyone in the court asked General Zhou Jing to fight against the rebellion.

Princess Yingxue sat on the regent's seat and looked at Zhou Jing who was standing in the court hall.

So many things happened in such a short period of time, you don't need to think about it to know who is behind it.

Princess Yingxue sent Zhou Jing to Xiang Wenyao's fief in front of the courtiers, but in fact she sent him to Dai City to secretly assist Sun Chuyu in strengthening the defense to prevent the Yan army from attacking the city. Banditry and rebellion are just minor troubles. As long as the Yan army cannot enter the city, there will be no big trouble.

In the past, except for the rainy season, only Sun Chuyu could keep the city safe. Now, with Zhou Jing, it would be an iron wall.

"Report! Your Highness, the traitor Xiang Wenyao has attacked two cities in a row and attacked Xincheng!"

The memorial in Princess Yingxue's hand fell on the table. Have they conquered two cities in a row?

It doesn't matter, she calmed down.

No matter how much Xiang Wenyao tried, he was still in the territory of Da Chu, and he only used Chu soldiers, and Chu soldiers would not harm the people of Chu.

With his small force, once the Yan army is defended, either Brother Zhou Jing or Sun Chuyu can easily defeat him back to the fiefdom.

"and many more!"

Princess Yingxue suddenly stood up: "What did you just say? Which city did he hit?"

"Back to Your Highness Princess, it's Xin Cheng!"

Princess Yingxue's hands trembled. How could it be Xin Cheng?

If Xiang Wenyao aimed at Yongchun City, he should attack the city vertically, and he should attack Shun City at this time, unless...

His goal is Daicheng!

"Oops!"

Princess Yingxue is like a bolt from the blue. If his goal is Dai City, then he will cooperate with the Yan army inside and outside...

I am afraid that the Yan army was obstructing the two cities in a row, so they were so quick.

Princess Yingxue could no longer sit still: "Gather all civil and military officials to discuss matters in the main hall!"

It's a pity that the Chu State has been decayed for many years, and there are too few capable ministers and good generals. The new batch of martial arts are still far from being able to fight.

Princess Yingxue had a headache, and finally agreed with Mr. Sun to temporarily transfer Sun Chuyu away from Dai City.

Sun Chuyu and Zhou Jingshi went out to quell a small Xiang Wenyao rebellion, which only took three days at most.

Even if the Yan army suddenly attacked the city, it was still too late for Sun Chuyu to integrate the troops he collected after quelling the rebellion and return to Dai City for assistance.

After the agreement, they immediately sent the Sun family's confidants to deliver the secret order to Dai City, and Princess Yingxue felt much more at ease.

However, the confidant of the Sun family who went to deliver the letter came back in a panic not long after, along with a general who was always with Sun Chuyu and trusted him.

"But what happened to Daicheng?"

"Your Highness, Princess, everything is fine in Dai City. General Sun has also rushed to Xincheng overnight!"

Princess Yingxue let out a long breath, but when she looked up again, she saw that the general seemed to have some words that were difficult to say.

She stepped back and signaled the generals to speak freely.

"Your Highness, this is a secret message from General Sun. The general told me that I must deliver it to Your Highness personally!"

Princess Yingxue hurriedly opened the letter. What, something went wrong with the red cannon?

Princess Yingxue's heart beat wildly.

The tactic of the rainy season is to rely on the force of heavy rain and landslides to trap the Yan army. However, no matter how cunning the soldiers are on weekdays, in the end the only ones that can resist the ferocious and brutal Yan army are the red cannons and fire cannons!

If something goes wrong with the red cannon, what will happen once the Yan army attacks the city?

"What went wrong?"

"What? What did Her Royal Highness say that something went wrong?"

The general didn't seem to know what was written in the letter, and Princess Yingxue had lost her patience.

"It's the red cannon! What happened to the red cannon?"

"Your Highness, how could the general know about such a confidential matter? Even if he knew, the general and others would know nothing about the cannon, let alone how to deal with it!"

Princess Yingxue was stunned.

Yes, not to mention that the method of making the red cannon is the secret of secrets. Even if its method of making is made public to the world, how many people can learn it?

It was himself who made the cannon reappear, and now I am afraid that he is the only one who can improve it.

Do we really need to go to Dai City in person at this critical moment?
