Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 399 The Battle of Robbery
"Yes!"

After a while, Xiao Linzi, the eunuch beside Xiang Jingming, brought over an exquisite three-layer gold-inlaid food box.

"Your Highness, what you want."

Xiang Jingming took it and opened it with his own hands.

There are three whole floors, and every layer is filled with Princess Yingxue’s favorite pastries.

Carefully crafted and fragrant.

It is far more exquisite and delicious than what the royal chef in the palace makes.

Xiang Yingxue knew very well who could have such an ingenious mind to make such a rare delicacy in the world.

"Xue'er, my mother knew that my father sent me to pick you up, so she made these herself so that you could eat them on the way back to Yongchun City."

Xiang Yingxue sniffed and wanted to cry again.

But it was as if all the tears had just been shed, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Xiang Jingming touched her head lovingly.

"Xue'er, my mother really misses you. Please go back with your royal brother as soon as possible."

"……okay……"

Princess Yingxue's voice was choked again.

Xiang Jingming comforted her for a while before she calmed down.

With a twitch on her face, she ate the pastries contentedly.

Yongchun City in Dachu.

The streets are noisy and busy.

The tender green willow tree hangs down its long branches, swaying gently in the wind.

Unknown wild flowers all over the corners are covered with buds, anxiously waiting to bloom.

The sun is warm and the seasons are like spring.

Is this how the name "Yongchun City" came about?
Murong Chen was not sure.

Because it was also his first time here.

He was dressed in the most ordinary black silk and satin, carrying the iron armor and flying stones that had been with him for many years, and walked slowly on the streets of Chu State.

Everything here amazes them.

There are towering pavilions and bustling markets.

Common people wear gold and silver and spend money lavishly.

There was not a single miserable parent in the market who sold his sons and daughters in exchange for food.

The items displayed in the pawn shop are also outdated jewelry used by noble ladies that are no longer rare.

There are no poor men who pawn their wives or use their wives to give birth in exchange for money.

Many people in Yan State were not fully clothed and could not afford three meals a day.The people of Chu state mostly wear silk and silk, and they are also extremely picky about what they eat.

Some of the leftovers had a slightly rancid taste, so they threw them away and refused to eat them again.

You know, there is too little land for growing food in Yan State.

Even the small amount of land that can grow food can only be harvested once a year, which is not enough to feed the people.

Coupled with successive years of drought.

The food eaten by ordinary people is not to mention rancid.

Even if it is rotten, smelly, or infested with insects, it will still be eaten.

Southern Chu was rich but weak, while Northern Yan was poor and strong.

With such a sharp opposition, no matter which dynasty or generation it appears in, a battle of force and plunder is inevitable.

It's the same in the present day.

He secretly swore that as the Prince of Dayan, he would save the people of Li from disaster.

Let them not be hungry, cold, or naked.

Let them also enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age in a land with warm sunshine, abundant resources and abundant people.

The ancestors of Yan State failed to do all this.

He, Murong Chen, can definitely do it!
So he was clearly invited to officially go on a mission to the Chu State, but he secretly sneaked into Yongchun City, the capital of the Chu State, ten days in advance.

He didn't want to get entangled with anyone except the people he had met, and he didn't want to leave any clues.

However, he still made a mistake.

In the bustling market of Yongchun City, a windmill girl as bright as spring floated up without any warning.

The train of her skirt swayed and her black hair flew.

The little mouth pouted cutely, as if whispering something to the colorful windmill.

She was like a dazzling light, running into his heart.

Yes, even on a bloody battlefield where corpses lie hundreds of miles away, he can still remain calm.

However, at that moment, he heard the sound of his heart beating violently for the first time.

"There are still thirty turns before the bad luck is over."

"However, I am lucky to meet such a handsome brother."

"Brother Qiao is a good man and will do it to the end. Please help me throw away this windmill."

"Cher."

King Chen, who was in a comatose state, screamed softly on the hospital bed.
