Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 250 Prepare to take action

Yun Xi was speechless. Worried that he might do something wrong, she quickly pulled him to sit on a stool and sat down beside him, looking like they wanted to have a long chat.

"Tell me how you conquered the Southwestern Army."

That's an army of 200,000. With these 200,000, plus Lu Boda's 100,000 troops heading south, and the Northern King's 300,000 troops, there would be a total of 600,000 troops standing on their side.

The Northwest Army is still the old subordinates of the Northern King, and some of them can be persuaded to rebel.

In this way, they will have an overwhelming advantage, and the 300,000 or at most 400,000 troops in the hands of King Jin and the Dog Emperor will not be a threat at all.

Ying Tianchen didn't want the two of them to be too far apart, so he held the person on his lap and held him in his arms before starting to talk.

"Since last year, the Southwest Army has not been able to get their salaries and supplies in place. The entire army has been starving and can no longer hold on. I promised to feed them, and their generals agreed to submit to me."

Yun Xi frowned, "If the imperial court doesn't provide military pay and supplies, don't they know how to get food themselves? Why do they have to starve all the time?"

Ying Tianchen played with her fingers and said, "Last year, there were locust plagues and droughts in various places, especially in the southwest. The land in the southwest was originally barren, and the people had a hard time. They had no place to buy food. Later, the army raised money to buy food from other places, but this is not a long-term solution. The price of food has risen, and everyone is not rich. It is the limit to hold on until now."

Yun Xi still couldn't understand, "Doesn't the Dog Emperor know about their situation?"

"I know for sure."

"Then can we just ignore them?"

"The terrain in the southwest is rugged, and there are few foreign invasions. The court has long wanted to avoid supporting such a large army. I guess they want to take this opportunity to make the Southwest General compromise, let him hand over the military power, and hand over the 200,000 troops to the King of Jin."

Yun Xi's dimples sank, "It just so happens that now is a good deal for us."

"Yes, the general of the Southwest Army came here in person a few days ago, and just transported a million kilograms of grain away today."

"So you have been meeting with the southwestern generals during this period?" Yun Xi asked.

Ying Tianchen said, "Not only him, the King of the North also came quietly."

Yun Xi was shocked, "You said the Northern King has also come to the capital?"

"Well, he can't wait any longer. Besides, I'm almost ready, so we met to discuss the plan."

Yun Xi blinked her big eyes a few times, "Have you already planned and are ready to take action?"

"Yes, it's about this period of time. But they all have a condition, and I want to confirm it with you."

"what?"

"The problem of food and fodder."

Ying Tianchen hugged her and said in a deep voice, "Both of their armies are counting on me to provide them with food and grass. With 500,000 troops plus General Lu and my nearly 200,000 troops, the food I have here is not enough, so I want to confirm with you."

When Yun Xi heard that it was a food and grass problem, she patted Ying Tianchen's chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, I can afford to support an army of 700,000."

Ying Tianchen was amused by her heroic look, pinched her nose, and praised lovingly, "Princess, you are really capable."

"That's it, who am I? I can support as many soldiers as you have."

Ying Tianchen kissed her nose and said, "I won't ask where you got so much food from, but I hope you can protect yourself no matter what. Don't put yourself in danger just to get more food."

Yun Xi hugged his neck and leaned on his shoulder, nodding slightly, "I know, there will be no danger."

I was a little conflicted about whether or not I should tell him about the space.

Forget it. Since he said he wouldn't ask me where the food came from, there was no need for me to bring it up.

Besides, this space is my biggest reliance. Although it seems that he is good to me now, I still have a long life to live, and who can predict what will happen in the future.

Hearing her say that there was no danger, Ying Tianchen felt a little relieved.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he was not curious about where all the food came from. But he believed Yun Xi. If she didn't tell him, there must be some reason or difficulty for her not to tell him.

He would not ask her, he just had to wait. Waiting for Yunxi to tell him one day, he believed that day would come.

They were both silent for a while, and then Yun Xi said, "I'll leave the food in the same yard as before. You can send someone to get it tomorrow. I'll leave it every other day from now on."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work. Just take the silver you need from the warehouse."

Yun Xi agreed. But in her heart, she was thinking, what's the difference between putting something from the palace's storehouse to her own storehouse and putting it from her left pocket to her right pocket?

Yun Xi did not ask how they were deployed, and Ying Tianchen did not explain in detail.

Just tell her to stay in the capital and everything will remain the same. He will send a group of guards to protect her and the Yun family.

Yun Xi frowned, "What about you? Are you going out?"

Ying Tianchen patted her head soothingly, "Not for now, I still have to wait for the news from the Northern King. Wait for him to raise an army first. But I will be very busy during this period, and I have to get up early and go to bed late, so I probably won't be able to take care of you."

"I'm fine. Just do your thing, I can take care of myself."

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

Ying Tianchen smiled, "You can help me solve the food problem, which is the greatest help."

Yun Xi's eyes turned, and she wondered if she could follow the army when it was dispatched in the future, so that there would not be a need to spend too much manpower to transport food and grass. This would also make the soldiers' lives much easier.

She said, "My husband, if you lead the troops out, can you take me with you?"

Ying Tianchen was startled, staring at her intently and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said that if you lead the troops out, take me with you." Yun Xi repeated what she had just said.

Ying Tianchen shook his head, "No, the previous sentence. What did you call me?"

Yun Xi understood immediately, but she pretended to be dumbfounded, "Ah? What did I call?"

Seeing this, Ying Tianchen held her waist with his big hands and gently coaxed her, "Be good, call me again."

Yun Xi gave a sly smile and shook her head, "I forgot."

"a ha ha ha……"

Ying Tianchen moved his hand to his armpit and began to tickle.

Yun Xi was ticklish and kept twisting her body, almost getting a stitch in the side from laughing.

Helplessly begging for mercy, "Stop it, hahahaha..."

“What did you call for?” Ying Tianchen didn’t even stop.

"Husband, husband, I called husband."

After hearing what he wanted to hear, Ying Tianchen finally stopped.

Seeing her laughing till tears came out, her eyes sparkling and her eyes slightly red. This look of letting him take advantage of her made Ying Tianchen's lower abdomen tighten, and a wave of heat rushed straight to the top of his head.

His Adam's apple rolled and his voice became hoarse. "Xi'er, call me again."

Yun Xi curled her fingers together. Damn, this voice was too bewitching.

"Husband~"

"Um..."

Yun Xi was completely unprepared for the overwhelming kisses that fell upon her.

Until... a long time...
