The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 240

Qiu Ningshui's tough attitude made everyone present very unhappy, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Cousin, don't you think that you elders are not in your eyes when you talk like this, it's a bit too ignorant of etiquette."

Yue Jingxin's accusation was actually just to win the favor of others. If Qiu Ningshui would not care about it on weekdays, but now that her father has just seriously ill and these people are rushing to the door to make trouble, she will definitely not give in.

"Cousin, this is Wuyou City, not your home. It's you, not me, who should be careful when speaking."

"What do you...cousin mean by that? Are you trying to say that I'm just an outsider here?" Yue Jingxin was a little unbelievable that this Qiu Ningshui would actually reply.

Qiu Ningshui retorted: "Isn't it?"

Yue Jingxin's face suddenly became ugly, and she wanted to refute several times, but she couldn't say a word.

Qiu Ningshui was very calm at the moment: "Elders, it's true that my father is sick in bed, but it's not for outsiders to act recklessly in Wuyou City!"

Qiu Ningshui got up slowly, put her hands on the edge of the table, and said fiercely: "I will take over as the city lord before my father wakes up. Since you elders have come to Wuyou City, if you are interested, you can stay in the mansion for lunch Leave later, if you have lost your appetite, then Ningshui will not entertain you."

Qiu Ningshui went straight out of the ancestral hall, and none of the people present dared to say no. Qiu Ningshui had a mild temper in their impression, and she had never seen her in such a tense state today, so everyone waited for a while. The meeting still hasn't slowed down.

After walking out of the ancestral hall, Qiu Ningshui's legs felt weak and her palms were sweating. She had never spoken to so many elders in such a tone before.

Qiu Ningshui turned her head a little stiffly, and asked, "Butler, did I behave well just now?"

The butler nodded in relief: "Well, the young lady behaved very well just now. If the Lord of the City sees it, he will be very happy."

That's good.Hearing the housekeeper say this, Qiu Ningshui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, he could no longer be willful, and perhaps it was time to break this fate.

You Huaizhu.Qiu Ningshui repeated this name in her heart, you and I can only go so far, after all, you and I have our own paths to go.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the seasons change. May you take care.

Ji Qingxue is suffering from a headache now. Xu Meng carried a big wild boar in the tent and gave it to her as a meeting gift with a smile. Ji Qingxue has a blood stalk in her throat.
It is said that Ji Qingxue's temper is not easy to blow out, after all, he went out of the city early in the morning to fight back.

Xu Meng was gearing up, looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look directly at Ji Qingxue: "Princess, this is the prey that my two brothers from Changzhou and I went out of the city to hunt for you. Let me tell you that this wild pork is delicious when roasted."

It’s not that he brags about it. After staying in the army for a long time, he has learned to enjoy himself. They often go out of the city to hunt in the mountains. If they hunt too much, they come back and share it with their brothers. This wild pork is the best among them. .

He racked his brains for a long time to come up with this meeting ceremony, so it should be sincere enough.

Ji Qingxue glanced at the blood-stinging wild boar on the ground unkindly, then smiled stiffly: "Thank you for coming up with such an ingenious meeting ceremony."

Xu Meng showed a naive smile: "Where is it, I have offended the princess and the prince before, please Haihan, in the future, our brothers will definitely follow the prince's lead, and it is duty-bound to do so."

At the end of these words, Xu Meng patted his chest. Since that incident, Xu Meng felt in his heart that Nan Gongyan was different from the official children he had seen in the court before.

In Ye Han's words, it is very powerful.

Ji Qingxue waved her hand and said: "Everyone is brothers, saying these words is just a matter of birth. Nan Gongyan and I don't have very good memories. I have forgotten what happened before. Thank you and the two generals for your support today." The owner is gone, tell the brothers that I will treat them to roast wild boar tonight."

Xu Meng's eyes lit up, this princess is really outspoken, unlike other women who are shy and shy, that's great.

When Nan Gongyan and Rong Sheng returned to the camp, they saw Ji Qingxue circling around a wild boar. I don't know why this scene looked particularly funny.

Rong Sheng couldn't help but sneered: "Little Master, what are you doing? What are you doing around this pig?"

Ji Qingxue looked up and saw that he was laughing hard, and really didn't understand what was so funny about it, so Ji Qingxue walked over slowly with an idea, and walked around Rongsheng again.

Then Ji Qingxue asked him very calmly: "What do you think I'm doing circling around pigs?"

The smile on Rong Sheng's face froze, and now it was Nan Gongyan's turn to hold back, there was a smile on his mouth, A Xue was smart.

Ji Qingxue smiled triumphantly at Nan Gongyan, and curled her lips: "Little master will not take you to bury people like this."

Ji Qingxue bumped him with an elbow: "Stop talking nonsense. How is the one who always taught you?"

"Don't worry, little master. I have to practice what you taught me several times a day. I really dare not forget it."

Ji Qingxue, you are now slowly starting to teach Rong Sheng his own acupuncture techniques, and he has calmed down a lot during this period of time, Ji Qingxue is still very satisfied with him as a disciple from the bottom of his heart.

"Axue, where did this wild boar come from?" Nan Gongyan finally thought of this crucial question after being here for so long.

Ji Qingxue spread her hands helplessly: "Xu Meng and the Chang brothers went out of the city to hunt on the mountain and came back. They said it was a meeting gift."

Hearing what Ji Qingxue said, Nan Gongyan didn't have much to say. This style of behavior was like that of rough old men on the border.

"Then what are you going to do with this?"

Ji Qingxue said succinctly: "Baked it, and then share it with everyone."

The physical work of roasting wild boar naturally fell on Nan Gongyan, and Ye Han refused to let him do it at first.

Nan Gongyan said to him: "Don't worry, I'm not a weak prince. I can't even do this kind of thing. How can I lead the three armies and drive out the Huns? Besides, isn't it just roasting wild boars? What are you making such a fuss about?" "Ji Qingxue smiled at Ye Han and said, "General Ye, just let him do it, you all have a good time today, the food he baked is delicious."

Seeing that Ji Qingxue had spoken, he could only sit obediently by the campfire. After a while, the scent of the wild boar slowly wafted out, and Rong Sheng salivated greedily.

The meat made a sizzling sound, and the aroma wafted far away, and everyone sat around the campfire.His eyes were fixed on the wild pork in Nangongyan's hand, and his mouth was drooling.

After Nangongyan roasted the meat, he cut off four big pieces and handed them to Ye Han and the others. Then Nangongyan cut off another big piece and handed it to Ji Qingxue.

"Divide the meat."

So Ye Han and the others got up and distributed the remaining wild pork and some other wild game to the soldiers present.

Nan Gongyan suddenly stood up with a wine bowl in his hand, and looked around everyone: "For so many years, the people of Dayan have relied on brothers to guard the border to live a peaceful life. I know that the longest among you may not have been home for seven years. Come on, I, Nan Gongyan, thank you here."

Nan Gongyan's actions caught most of the people present without realizing it. After being a soldier for so many years, they fought bloody battles again and again, and escaped from death. No one has ever said a word of thanks to them.

All of a sudden, tears welled up in everyone's eyes, and they raised their wine bowls one after another: "To my lord and concubine!"

After drinking strong alcohol and looking at the bonfire, what they thought most was their wives and children at home, and some people in the crowd were already crying silently.

There is a saying that a man does not flick his tears lightly, but he has not reached the point of sadness.

"Why are you crying? A man bleeds but not tears!" Xu Meng pointed at the man and asked loudly, but his eyes were already red.

The man cried louder, even a little heartbreaking, making people feel that he was very sad at the moment.

But Nan Gongyan called out his name accurately: "You are Tan Bin."

The man was obviously taken aback, he didn't care about being sad and just asked blankly: "How did the prince know the name of his subordinate?"

Nan Gongyan answered irrelevantly: "A year ago, your wife gave birth to dystocia and almost came back from Lord Yan's place. Fortunately, the mother and child are safe, and she gave birth to a fat boy for you. Are you homesick?"

Tan Bin nodded. He really missed his family and wanted to go back and see his son.

"Don't worry, when this battle is over, I will definitely let you go home to see your wife and children. Everyone, don't forget why we are in Wuyou City today, isn't it to protect our family and let more people Can people be with their families?"

"My lord is right!" Xu Meng jumped up suddenly, "Brothers, I know that you have been somewhat resentful these days. The Huns have hundreds of thousands of troops, but we only have a few hundred thousand here." , I know that everyone is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but the disparity in power is too far away, so you are dissatisfied with the imperial court."

"Brothers, the imperial court's reinforcements are already on their way. We only need to wait a few more days. Our bloody battles on the battlefield are not for the imperial court, but for the tens of millions of people, and even more for ourselves."

Nan Gongyan didn't expect Xu Meng, a man with a rough personality, to be able to speak such delicate words.

Xu Meng raised the bowl to do it first as a respect, and he wiped the corner of his mouth: "Brothers, let's have a good drink today!"

Everyone raised their bowls to respond, and everyone was immersed in the atmosphere at the moment.

Ji Qingxue leaned gently on Nangongyan's shoulder and watched the crowd drink and chat, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

The situation in the world is out of my generation, and once I entered the rivers and lakes, the time has passed, and the jokes of Huang Tu's dominance are overwhelming.
