Chapter 209 Don’t be too greedy

Old General Shen was still following his own thoughts and talking about his plans.

If I hadn't suddenly thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was still around. Old General Shen may have said the words "It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and you can have enough food and clothing by yourself."

"Oh, I'm getting old." Some words almost came out of my mouth.

Xiao Mingqi: It’s his turn to speak.

"After two years of catastrophe, the national treasury is empty. This time I gathered the strength of several Zhou mansions to get you some food. Although it is only coarse grains, I can only say that I did my best."

"Thank you, Your Highness." In Old General Shen's heart, as long as it is food, whether it is whole grains or miscellaneous grains, as long as it is food that can be eaten, they like it.

"They will send it over in five days."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

This thank you came from the bottom of my heart, and Xiao Mingqi could hear it. He was also tired from running along the way, so he spoke to Old General Shen and took his guards to rest.

General Shen and General Liu were left laughing secretly, not daring to speak out for fear of being heard by His Highness the Crown Prince.

No matter how magnanimous His Highness the Crown Prince is, he is still His Highness the Crown Prince, the future king of a country. Therefore, it is better not to be too presumptuous in front of the future king of a country.

After the two snickered, they talked about the topic they were most interested in.

"Hey, with this food, we won't be so miserable this winter."

"I have a hunch that the Golden Warrior will be able to bring us meat this year."

"With this crazy weather this year, even if we send it here, I guess it won't be as bad as last year."

"Well, there is a possibility."

"Oh, in order for us to have one more mouthful of meat, we have to beg God not to have a convulsion."

The two of them talked for a few more words, then turned and looked at the grass by the river, where all the clean clothes and furs were hanging out.

General Liu Shen suddenly approached General Shen's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "General, how about we sell some of these furs."

"Don't sell it yet." Old General Shen also thought about this problem, but the winter in northern Xinjiang is too cold. "We have to deal with the winter clothes of the soldiers. If there is enough to sew, we can sell them for money."

"Last year, His Royal Highness, didn't you buy winter clothes for all of us?"

"You also said it was last year. We don't know what the weather will be like this year. If it's really the same as last year, these furs may not be enough."

"General, the Minister of War has been replaced. This year we cannot withhold our military pay and winter clothes."

"Who knows, as long as military pay and winter clothes are distributed to the soldiers, we can truly feel at ease."

"Damn, it's so frustrating. We fight the Tatars with our heads, but the big men in the capital want to use our heads to make money."

Liu Shenjiang became more and more angry as he thought about it, "If we hadn't been allowed to go back to Beijing without Zhao, I would have broken down the doors of every house. His grandma's is a bunch of drunkards and ricebags. They have no shit ability, but they are full of bad things."

General Shen saw that General Liu Shen was getting more and more angry with his scolding, so he had to persuade him: "Shh, keep your voice down, you have to endure it for two days if you feel uncomfortable. When His Highness the Crown Prince leaves, I will accompany you to scold those shameless things." ”

"Yeah." The person had to persuade him. After listening to Old General Shen's words, Liu Shenjiang shut up, but his expression was not good.

Xiao Mingqi slept soundly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the setting sun shining through the gap in the curtain.

Chang An happened to be guarding the outside of the tent. When he heard some movement inside, he knew that His Highness was awake.

"Your Highness?"

"Come in! Have you seen Chang Ning?"

"Haven't seen it yet."

"How could it be? Where has Chang Ning gone?" "Chang Ning and the soldiers from Anding City have moved to their base. It is said that it is very close to the Jin family's valley, just outside the mountain on the north side of the valley."

"That place must be nice."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang An almost dropped his jaw when he thought about the scene when he saw Shen Liufeng just now, and he wanted to see his younger brother even more.

Xiao Mingqi, Chang An and Prince Jing grew up together. Xiao Mingqi knew the temperament of these two friends very well.

Seeing Chang An's absent-minded look, he couldn't help but ask, "Chang An, what's wrong with you?"

"Back to Your Highness, Wei Chen just met Major General Shen."

"Chen Liufeng?"

"Yes."

"What's wrong with Shen Liufeng?"

"Your Highness, Wei Chen just saw Shen Liufeng. He looks very good."

"Very good?" Xiao Mingqi thought of seeing Shen Liufeng in Anding City and didn't believe Chang An's words.

"Wei Chen asked General Shen that Shen Liufeng, Vice General Li and Chang Ning took the elixir given by the Jin family's young lady and rested for a while in the valley where the Jin family lived."

Xiao Mingqi immediately became interested when he heard that the elixir was given by the young lady of the Jin family.

"Wei Chen also quietly inquired about it. This time the Northern Xinjiang soldiers were facing off against the Tatars. Shen Liufeng and Vice General Li were the left and right wing vanguards respectively."

"Let's go to Chang Ning's place now. I want to see what Chang Ning looks like now."

"Your Highness, let's go there tomorrow morning."

"Why? Not tonight?"

"Old General Shen said that all the houses over there haven't been built yet, so we're afraid we won't have a house to live in."

"It's okay. If we really have no place to live, Gu will take you to live in the valley where the Jin family lives."

Chang An: His Highness may have already made up his mind. Chang Ning is a perfect excuse.

However, he liked the thought of seeing his brother soon.

Xiao Mingqi decided, Chang An went to inform his companions, and they were on their way after greeting General Shen.

Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince coming and leaving in a hurry, I didn't know what kind of trouble His Highness was going to make.

When only the Shen family's father and son were left, Shen Liufeng expressed his guess. "Father, my son guesses that His Highness the Crown Prince may prefer to go to the valley where the Jin family lives."

"That's for sure. His Highness the Crown Prince refused to stay with us all night. Maybe it was because of the Holy Emperor's instructions."

"What advice can I give you? I'm just thinking about the elixir in the hands of the Jin family's young lady." When mentioning the Tian family, Chen Liufeng's voice became much lower unconsciously.

"Seeing how you are now, not to mention the Holy Father, even the father is thinking about the elixir in the hands of the little lady of the Jin family. But we can't be too greedy. As long as my son is well, it is better than anything else."

"Father!"

"We can't be too greedy. To put it bluntly, the elixir you take is worth millions of dollars."

"Father, my son has eaten two pills."

"We must remember the goodness of the Jin family's little lady all our lives. If we really spend money to buy those two pills, our family's financial resources will not be able to afford these two elixirs."
