Why didn’t you respond a few days ago?

But now there seems to be no explanation other than this statement?

No matter what, it was my younger siblings’ medicine that saved them anyway!

It’s like God opened his eyes, these people’s lives should not be cut off!

Qin Jian was so excited that he hid for a while, took his brothers out, and shouted: "Your Highness! We are here!"

Prince Jing was urging his men. The soldiers moved all the weapons away and then replaced them with new weapons for the soldiers in the army. How majestic and elegant!

Then I heard Qin Jian’s voice. He looked up and saw a group of very embarrassed-looking people coming over excitedly.

Qin Jian and the others were small in number, and at a glance they could see that everyone was neatly arranged. Even Prince Jing, an old man, felt a sore nose.

They went up the mountain for a few days, but the mountain was heavily guarded. There was no news at all, and they did not dare to send a signal to inform the people below.

King Jing once thought that their entire army was wiped out, and he was very sad for a while, but the mountain was really difficult to attack, and the opponent still had gunpowder, so they couldn't get close at all.

But who would have expected that early this morning, several people sent out to inquire about the situation came back to report that something must have happened on the mountain. There were many new weapons scattered on the hillside. There were many of them, unlike It's a trap.

They were a little hesitant at first. After all, Qin Jian and the others didn't give a signal and wanted to wait.

As a result, there was no news, and I suspected that Qin Jian and others had all disappeared in order to complete this task. I felt very sad, so I decided to go up the mountain to see what happened. At worst, I would have to fight with these people. .

As it turned out, going up the mountain was like picking up mushrooms, picking up prisoners and weapons along the way. Occasionally, I saw a few people who were not unconscious, and they were not their opponents, so they captured them without much effort.

Now I met Qin Jian and others directly!

They are all still alive!

“Old Qin!”

King Jing suppressed the sourness in his heart and shouted to them.

They were all in a mess and their faces were full of vicissitudes of life. They must have suffered a lot in the past few days.

King Jing took a few steps forward, held Qin Jian's shoulders, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work. Thanks to the medicine from my brothers and sisters, otherwise, otherwise We may all die!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I finally saw how powerful that woman is. Fortunately, I didn't provoke her too much before!"

Jing Wang was still frightened, but fortunately he was so smart occasionally.For once, there was no complete enmity with He Jiuniang.

Afterwards, King Jing arranged for people to escort them down the mountain, while he continued to lead people to pick up loot on the mountain. He also asked Qin Jian to inform General Li to also bring people up. More people would make it easier to move things.

After ensuring the safety of Qin Jian and others, He Jiuniang went back to the big tree where she had just rested, and saw Lu Baichuan already waiting for her.

"You moved very quickly, have you done everything?"

"Well, let's go."

Lu Baichuan was in front of her He bent down and said: "Come up, I will carry you down the mountain."

He Jiuniang jumped onto his back without any courtesy and said softly: "Oh, I am really exhausted~"

After being tired for such a long time, Lu Baichuan did not plan to go back immediately. Instead, he took He Jiuniang to find an inn in the border city to sleep first.

The two of them were dressed as ordinary people and did not attract attention.

Of course, what’s more important is that something very lively happened in the city at this time, and no one paid attention to these two ordinary people.

When they woke up and went downstairs to eat, they heard the people at the next table talking about the lively things happening in the city.

　“Have you heard? The prefect hanged himself at home!”

　“Isn’t this spread all over the place? Who doesn’t know yet!”
>
"I heard that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. The generals on the border sent troops to surround the prefect's house!"

"Do you know what the prefect did?"

"Then who knows? It can't be a good thing anyway, otherwise I wouldn't die so quickly!"

　...

Listening to their discussion, He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan also understood that it was probably the prefect who learned about the mine and was afraid that the court would punish him, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

This magistrate is quite a smart man. He has been colluding with King Xun for many years. If he waits to be investigated, he will suffer no one knows how much he will suffer. But if he dies like this, it will be an advantage for him and he will be implicated. family.

The two of them are not interested in these matters. Prince Jing will take care of them. At that time, the court will appoint other officials to take over, and the crisis on the border will be relieved.

After dinner, the two of them walked around the streets, taking in the lives of the people.

The cities on the border are naturally not as prosperous as the capital. They are a bit depressed in comparison, but because there has been no war recently, the people all have smiles on their faces.

Even if you live in poverty, as long as your family is safe, there is no need to worryEven if their lives are precarious, they can be very happy.

There are dairy products sellers on the street, but the business is not very good.

He Jiuniang stepped forward and tasted it. The fishy smell was very strong, the taste was not very good, and the processing method was very rough. No wonder the business was not good.

"Madam, these are all just delivered by our own horses this morning, very fresh!"

The other party is an elderly husband, looking at them The couple's eyes were particularly eager.

Although it didn’t taste good, He Jiuniang still took out two water bags and handed them to her father-in-law and said, “Please help us fill up both water bags.”

The husband was very happy. He took the water bag and started pouring mare's milk into it.

It only costs ten cents to fill two large water bladders, which He Jiuniang thinks is ridiculously cheap.

“Old man, if you sell it so cheaply, you will lose money, right?”

It’s not even enough to raise a horse with such a small amount of money.

"Well, they are all home-produced things. If you can't sell them, it would be a waste to keep them at home. If you sell them, you can still make some money."

The old man sighed, they The horses raised at home are all pregnant or given birth mares in the army. They are sent to the homes of ordinary people to raise them. The mare's milk is considered as a reward for the people. They can also be used as a cart to help haul some things when the army needs them. Return it when the time comes.

This can be regarded as a mutual benefit between the military and the people. Ordinary people cannot afford horses, and they can only use manpower for heavy work at home.

Helping the army raise horses, not only can they sell mare milk to make money, but they can also occasionally help pull goods. The common people are very happy to take this job.

He Jiuniang nodded to express her understanding. Lu Baichuan took the filled water bag and the two left the stall.

“This mare’s milk is not delicious, why did you buy so much of it?”

“Take care of the old man’s business!”

He Jiuniang said, asking him to open the lid of the water bag, then dug into his sleeves, took out a bag of powder and poured it in.

“Tighten the lid and shake vigorously evenly.”

Lu Baichuan did as he was told, but still didn’t understand and asked, “What is this?”
/>
“I put some koji seeds in it and fermented it to make sour mare milk, which is much better to drink. I took it back to give my son a taste.”

Since it cost money , then naturally it cannot be in vain.

Lu Baichuan didn’t know how she could have so many weird things in her mind, and she immediately wanted to taste the sour mare’s milk.
