Chapter 905: Great Victory

The day at the end of June was unbearably hot. Walking out of the house, waves of heat hit our faces. The sun also turned into a big furnace, and the whole earth seemed to be roasted.

Yuxi returned from the front yard to the backyard, it was extremely hot. Sister Quan hurriedly took out the watermelon from the well and brought it to Yuxi. It's strange to say Yuxi, she doesn't like things that are chilled with ice cubes. In fact, eating some during the hot period is not harmful to the body, but Yuxi doesn't like it.

After eating two pieces of iced watermelon, Yu Xi felt much refreshed: "I don't know how the prince and Ah Hao are doing now?" The father and son on the grassland don't know what happened.

Sister Quan said with a smile: "I think the prince and the son are okay, but the princess, I'm afraid it will be difficult in Yucheng." You have to put two buckets of ice cubes in order to fall asleep. Now in Yucheng, there is no such thing as a palace.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "Two days ago, Yin Zhaofeng wrote to me, saying that Zao Zao wanted to come back. It's just that the doctor said that she needs to be raised again. I plan to let her come back with the prince."

Sister Quan smiled and said, "The princess must have had a hard time in Yucheng, so she wanted to go home." In Sister Quan's impression, Zao Zao was someone who didn't miss home.

"This is just the beginning, and there will be more suffering in the future." The female general is not that easy to be, just like her, she has suffered a lot to get to where she is today.

Sister Quan agreed with Yu Xi's words, and said, "This road is really not easy." No matter what a woman does in this world, it is not so easy.

After lunch, I talked to Madam Quan again, and then I lay down. No matter how hot the weather is, I still have to take a nap. If not, you won't be in good spirits in the afternoon.

In her sleep, Yuxi felt someone shaking her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Meilan beside her bed. Seeing Mei Lan's excited face, Yu Xi probably knew what happened.

Meilan said excitedly: "Princess, the good news has come from the front. The prince has defeated the Beiyao barbarians and killed the Beiyao king." She was so excited when someone killed the king of Beiyao again.

Yuxi also had a smile on her face, but she was not as excited as Meilan. Yuxi said: "Bring me the clothes." She has already woken up, and it is impossible to fall asleep again.

As soon as she got dressed, she heard Miss Ling's footsteps outside, and she didn't need anyone to tell Yuxi that she knew they were triplets.

When Brother Rui saw Yuxi, he grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Mother, I just heard that father killed King Beiyao. Is this true?" Well, not to mention the triplets, other people in the palace also knew about it.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's true. But my mother just got up, and she hasn't read the good news from the front, so I don't know the details."

Brother Rui blushed with excitement: "Mother, when will daddy come back?" He was proud of having such a father.

Brother Yu is the calmest among the triplets: "Second Brother asked the right question, and Dad will come back when it's time for him." In fact, Brother Yu was also very excited, but he was more stable than Brother Rui .

Yuxi smiled and said: "Mother still has things to deal with, you go back to class." Yunqing's victory in the battle is a great joy, but there are still many things to deal with after the battle, and I don't know how many casualties there will be in this decisive battle.

When Brother Rui heard this, he said dryly: "Mother, Dad killed the king of Beiyao and wiped out Beiyao. Such a big happy event should be celebrated?" He didn't want to go to school, he just wanted to be lazy for a day!

Brother Yu rolled his eyes at Brother Rui, how could he hide this little thought from his mother!

Yu Xi nodded and said: "It must be a celebration,

But you have to wait for your father to come back. Now, hurry to class and don't keep your husband waiting. "Fortunately, Brother Xuan and Brother Yu both love to learn, and having them watch Brother Rui saves her a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Brother Rui may have to follow the old path of jujube.

Out of the yard, Brother Rui said in a low voice: "I really envy Big Brother." I envy Qi Hao for going out with Yun Qing, and seeing his father's domineering appearance when he exterminated Beiyao.

Brother You said with a smile: "It can't be helped, who made us small!" Brother You knew very well in his heart why Yunqing took his eldest brother with him when he sent troops to Beiyao. The so-called good martial arts talent and intelligence are all excuses, the real reason is that the eldest brother is the eldest son and the future heir.

Brother Xuan interjected weakly, and said, "I think it's good to be young." He didn't want to go to war with him, it was too dangerous.

When Yuxi arrived at the front yard, she saw that everyone was happy. When Xu Daniu saw Yuxi, he raised his voice even more happily: "Princess, the prince has destroyed Beiyao." These soldiers who came out of Yucheng all hated the barbarians of Beiyao. Because the northern barbarians destroyed their homes and killed their family members and comrades.

Xu Wu walked in from the side door, and when he saw Yuxi, he was also full of smiles: "Princess, the good news is on the table." Except for Xu Wu and Xu Daniu, no one else could enter the study.

Yu Xi nodded with a smile, and entered the room.

Xu Daniu touched his head and said: "Boss, why don't I look very happy when I look at the princess?"

Xu Wu patted Xu Daniu on the head, and scolded with a smile: "Where do you see that the princess is not happy? Do you think the princess is like you, foolishly happy?" The prince won such a big victory, how could the princess not be happy? Happy. It's just that the princess is more introverted, not as emotional as they are.

On the table, there are not only the good news ahead, but also the letters from Yun Qing and Qi Hao.

The good news is ten lines at a glance, and you can read it as quickly as possible. In Yunqing's letter, it was written that the Northern Captivity was over, and he would return to Pickaxe City soon. On the contrary, Qihao said in the letter that Yunqing's injury has healed a lot, and he needs to take good care of it if he wants to recover.

After reading Brother Hao's letter, Yu Xi frowned and said, "I was fooled." If only one arm was injured, it would have recovered after such a long time. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that not only his arm was injured, but also other places. But because Yun Qing's life is not in danger, Yu Xi is not worried.

Calling Xu Wu into the house, Yuxi said: "Send someone to invite Tan Tuo, Shen Chunting, and Yuan Ying over here." The war in Beicap is coming to an end, and it's time to prepare for what will happen after the war.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Princess, is there still a need for martial law in the city?" According to Xu Wu, the battle ahead is over, and there is no need for martial law in the city.

Yu Xi said: "No need." Even if Yan Wushuang wants to sabotage now, she is not afraid anymore.

Discussed with Tan Tuo for another afternoon about the post-war matters. We didn't finish talking until it was getting dark.

As soon as she left the house, Mei Lan said: "Princess, the second uncle is here, and she is waiting in the backyard!" Shi Lu came in half an hour, knowing that Yuxi was talking to the minister, she waited patiently in the backyard .

Seeing Yuxi with a tired face, Lu Xiu felt that she had come at a bit of an inopportune time.

Yu Xi washed her face, drank another bowl of iced mung beans, and then sat down and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiu smiled and said: "I heard that the lord has won a big victory, so I'm here to congratulate you! Yuxi, the lord has wiped out Beiyao, and even killed the king of Beiyao. Such achievements will surely be passed down through the ages."

When Yu Xi heard this, the smile on his face deepened a bit, but he said modestly: "Beiyao was exterminated, not because of him alone." The first credit must belong to Yun Qing.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuxi asked about Qiqi's marriage: "Now that the war in Beiyao is over, it's time to set a date for the wedding with the Feng family." This time when he sent troops to Beiyao, Feng Zhiao also went with him. But he didn't follow Qi Hao, but followed his father Feng Dajun.

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "It won't look good if the woman rushes over this matter." If the marriage date is to be mentioned, it should be the Feng family who mentions it.

Yuxi nodded and said: "That's very true. But I think Mrs. Feng will come to mention this matter these days." Now that the war in Beicap is over, both Feng Dajun and Feng Zhiao are safe, Mrs. Feng Now I am in the mood to talk about marriage with Jingli.

Lu Xiu wasn't worried about this, mainly because with Yuxi around, the Feng family didn't dare to do things that would embarrass the Han family, so it was good to have a strong backer. Lu Xiu said: "After Qi Qi's wedding date is set, I should also set the date of Brother Shun's marriage." It is impossible to marry a wife, otherwise, it will not look good on the face.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Then you will suffer again." Marriage after marriage, you have to be busy for more than half a year.

Lu Xiu said: "As long as they can live peacefully and beautifully in the future, it's worth being tired." Qiqi's dowry has already been prepared, which can save her a lot of trouble.

Yuxi said: "Brother is busy with business, so he can't make it back to attend Qiqi's wedding. As for mother, the two places are thousands of miles away, so I don't think she will come back."

Lu Xiu was not surprised: "I told Qiqi about this, and Qiqi is prepared." As the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible for the uncle to leave his official duties and return to Haocheng because of his daughter's marriage.

Hearing this, Yuxi smiled and said: "There is no war in Yunnan now. When brother Shun gets married, he can let the second brother come back." The Yunnan side is now in a stalemate, and this year is definitely not going to happen. Maybe use the army again.

"It would be great if the master could come back." This was also a surprise.

Lu Xiu went back after having dinner in the palace.

Yuxi also didn't have time to accompany Liu'er and the triplets: "Mother still has a lot of things to deal with, you go back to your own courtyard!" The post-war affairs are very cumbersome, and they can't be done in three to five months.

This night, Yuxi was busy until midnight again. While taking a bath, Quan Mo asked: "Your lord has won a big battle, why are you still frowning? Could it be that your lord was injured again?" Yuxi now pays great attention to maintenance, and has to take a medicinal bath every two days. Then she had to apply the balm specially prepared by Nunnery Quan on her face and body.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "My lord is fine, I'm not injured. It's just that there is drought in some areas of Shanxi and Henan, and the harvest will definitely be greatly reduced." What I don't like the most is drought and floods that hurt my muscles and bones.

Aunt Quan was sent to be a palace maid because of a disaster when she was a child. She immediately asked, "Is it serious?"

Yuxi said: "It's more serious. Fortunately, the harvest in the south of the Yangtze River is not bad." The rice was harvested in June, and it is almost all harvested by now. She has already got the news that this year's harvest in Jiangnan is more than 10% lower than last year. But compared to Hebei and other places, it is already considered good.

Sister Quan couldn't help but said, "Fortunately, the war in Beiyao is over."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If it wasn't for the dispatch of troops to the North to take captives this time, the food supply would not be so tight." Last year, the weather in Jiangnan was smooth and the harvest was excellent. In other places, the harvest is not bad either.

When Quan Momo heard this, she said, "So, it's time to spend less on food and clothing again?"

"Why are you saving money?" But she was going to worry about money again.

Seeing this, Mother Quan said: "When the prince comes back, you leave this mess to him and rest for two days." She also let Yunqing know the difficulty of not having money, so that Yunqing would not always think about fighting.

Yuxi laughed, and said: "Let him deal with it, I'm afraid it will be a mess. Forget it, this time I will wipe out the old lair of the Beiyao, I believe I should get a lot of spoils, and at that time, it will also make up for some loopholes." .”

Sister Quan gave up hope for this: "This northern barbarian is so poor, what valuable things can he have?" If they were rich, they wouldn't even snatch pots and pans from people in border towns.

This is because Mammy Quan doesn't understand the market, the pots and pans are very expensive in Beiyao.

Yu Xi didn't think so, and said: "The princes and nobles who were captured in the north must have hidden a lot of good things." There must still be some gold and silver treasures.

Qihao was also thinking similarly to Mammy Quan. So when he saw the confiscated spoils, Qihao was stunned. Cat eyes the size of a longan, emeralds the size of a fist, pigeon blood red, sapphires, diamonds, pearls of various colors, and countless gold and silver. These things are simply going to dazzle people's eyes.

Qihao's mental quality is still good, he calmed down quickly, and then asked Yunqing: "Father, didn't you say that the Beiyao people are so poor that they have nothing to eat? Why do they have so many treasures?" It's worth a few million taels anyway.

Yun Qing patted Qihao on the back with a smile, and said: "The poor are just ordinary herdsmen, and those princes and nobles are still well-clothed and well-fed. Besides, they have done a lot of burning, killing and looting. These things, all It’s accumulated over the years.”

Qi Hao took out a walnut-sized emerald from one of the boxes, and said, "Mother likes these green stones the most, use this to make a forehead wipe for Mother."

Yun Qing smiled and said: "Pick out all the best gems here and give them to your mother. Let her decide what jewelry to make." The following meritorious ministers, others will enter Yuxi's private treasury.

When Qihao heard this, he put the emerald in his hand back into the box. (to be continued)
