Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 283 Food and Grass
Although the Dongyi army lost the first battle, its strength should not be underestimated.

Although Daliang had a small victory, it also paid a heavy price.

Prince Baofu's heroic performance on the battlefield undoubtedly inspired the Daliang army greatly.

Hao Shi was worried that he might become complacent because of his victory and rush forward to underestimate the enemy, so he warned: "Your Majesty, although we won the first battle, the strength of Dongyi's army still exists. We still need to be careful and guard every step."

After hearing this, King Baofu nodded and said, "General Hao's words are reasonable. Only by moving forward steadily can we have the last laugh."

After a three-day truce, the war resumed. King Baofu took the lead and personally led the army to charge into the battle, without fear of life or death.

Hao Shi was worried about his safety and might not be able to explain it to the emperor, so he repeatedly told his soldiers: "The prince must be protected and there must be no mistakes."

The soldiers agreed in unison, followed closely around the prince, and vowed to protect him to the death.

After the last defeat, the Dongyi army also adjusted its tactics. The battlefield was filled with flashes of swords and shouts of killing, and soldiers on both sides tried their best.

But dangers are everywhere on the battlefield. King Baofu was accidentally shot in the chest by a bow and arrow from the Dongyi army, which made a soldier in the rear who was aiming at him put down his bow and arrow in hatred.

The soldiers have already stepped forward to protect him. The soldiers can no longer hurt him and can only wait for the opportunity.

Prince Baofu was injured by a stray arrow and was bleeding.

When Hao Shi saw this, he was shocked. He immediately rushed forward and anxiously checked the injury of Prince Baofu. "Prince, how are you? Quickly, send Prince Baofu back to the barracks."

"General Hao, I'm fine, keep charging." Prince Baofu said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty will lead the soldiers to continue the charge. Please go back to the barracks to heal your wounds." Hao Shi signaled his soldiers to help Prince Baofu down. He got on his horse and waved his spear, "Charge and kill."

The battle lasted for a whole day and both sides suffered heavy losses.

In the end, Dongyi's army retreated steadily, and Daliang won.

However, Prince Baofu's injury was slightly serious and the situation was not good. The military doctors were busy trying to stop the bleeding and suture the wound.

Hao Shi waited anxiously outside the camp, full of worry.

After a night of rescue, Prince Baofu's condition stabilized.

Hao Shi was relieved and walked into the camp. Although Prince Baofu's face was still pale, he was sober. When he saw Hao Shi, he said softly: "General Hao, thank you for your hard work."

"The prince's words are serious, this is what the official should do." Hao Shi lowered his head, "The official failed to protect the prince, please punish him."

"I can't blame you. General Hao doesn't need to blame himself." Prince Baofu said.

The battle report was sent to the capital. It was another victory. The emperor said happily: "Well, Prince Baofu has indeed lived up to my expectations. Hao Shi also contributed a lot. I will reward him heavily."

Prince Xianli and Prince Zuocheng received a secret report and knew that Prince Baofu was seriously injured but was rescued. They were so angry that they cursed, "Trash, why don't you take the opportunity to kill him?"

Then, the two men gave orders to the people they placed in the army, "Even if Prince Baofu cannot be killed, he must not be allowed to win another battle."

They arranged to take advantage of the chaos to kill the people of Prince Baofu, but they failed, but the people who burned the grain and grass succeeded.

The official who escorted the grain and grass was Zhao Yin. He was injured in order to stop those people.

After Zhao Wangshu heard the news, he immediately rushed back to his parents' home, "Sister-in-law, how is my elder brother?"

Song Yuanqu, whose eyes were red from crying, raised his eyes and looked at her, "Sister-in-law, my husband is seriously injured, with multiple stab wounds on his body."

"Brother is blessed with good fortune. Everything will be fine. Sister-in-law, please stop crying. You will hurt your eyes from crying." Zhao Wangshu wiped the tears from Song Yuanqu's face with a handkerchief.

Zhao Yin was treated by many imperial doctors from the imperial hospital. Although Princess Rui had a different mother than the emperor, she was also the emperor's sister. In this way, Zhao Yin was the emperor's nephew and son-in-law.

The Ministry of Personnel assigned Zhao Yin to escort the grain and fodder, also taking this into consideration, so that Zhao Yin could be promoted if he made meritorious service. The grain and grass were burned, and the officials who escorted the grain and grass were killed and injured. The emperor was furious, "Check, I want to see who is so bold and dares to burn the court's grain and grass to help the enemy."

Just when the emperor sent people to investigate the case, the imperial doctors took turns to fight, and they were able to pull the seriously injured Zhao Yin back from the hell gate, but he was still unconscious.

On this day, as soon as Zhao Wangshu entered the door, he saw Song Yuanqu happily saying: "Sister-in-law, my husband is awake."

Zhao Wangshu hurriedly walked over and came to Zhao Yin's bed.

Zhao Yin's face was pale, but there was already light in his eyes. When he saw Zhao Wangshu, he smiled slightly and said in a weak voice: "Yue'er, you are here."

"Brother, we are all scared by you." Zhao Wangshu said with a cry in his voice.

"I'm fine. It just looks scary. In fact, it's all skin injuries." Zhao Yin wanted to sit up, but was hurt by the wounds on his body, and he took a breath.

"Lie down and don't move." Zhao Wangshu said nervously.

Song Yuanqu picked up the medicine bowl on the table and said, "Husband, it's time to drink the medicine."

Zhao Yin took her hand and drank the medicine in one gulp. The bitter concoction only made him frown slightly.

Song Yuanqu couldn't bear it, so he stuffed a candy particle into his mouth to sweeten his mouth.

"Husband, how do you feel?" Song Yuanqu asked with concern.

Zhao Yin smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, madam, you've worked hard these days."

"What did you say, husband? It's my duty to take care of you." Song Yuanqu said softly, his eyes filled with deep affection for Zhao Yin.

Zhao Wangshu went out quietly without disturbing the loving couple.

Standing on the porch, looking up at the sky, several birds were flying across the sky in groups.

She missed Yun Hao. She received his letter and gifts from Jiangnan yesterday.

I wonder how his case is going? When can I come back from Jiangnan?

What she didn't know was that Yun Hao wrote a letter to her and also sent a secret report to the emperor.

There is conclusive evidence that Lin Yun colluded with Jiangnan Salt Administration officials to sell private salt for profit. What surprised the emperor was that Lin Yun not only colluded with Salt Administration officials, but also had close ties with some gangs in the Jianghu.

These gangs are very powerful in the Jiangnan area, and they also recruit troops and train troops secretly.

"He wants to rebel!" The emperor was so angry that he became calmer.

The emperor thought he had shown mercy to his son Lin Yun, but he did not expect that this rebellious son would not repent, but would go even worse and do such rebellious things.

The emperor immediately summoned his closest ministers to discuss countermeasures in secret.

Ling Ze and others were shocked when they saw the secret report, "This... this is simply audacious!"

"My lords, how do you think this traitor should be dealt with?" The emperor's tone contained anger that could not be concealed.

Ling Ze pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Yun's plans are not small. I think we must take action as soon as possible to prevent him from taking advantage of it."

"Secretly arrest Lin Yun and put him in prison. You will interrogate him carefully to see who else in the court is complicit with him." The emperor said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the ministers replied.

The emperor sent the hidden guards of the Longting Guard to arrest the people. He wrote a secret letter and had it sent to Yun Hao in the south of the Yangtze River. He gave Yun Hao the right to kill first and then report, asking him to deal with the private soldiers.
