Chapter 191: I’m Going Fishing
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Anyway, our food supplies have already arrived, so even if we stay in the military camp for a few days, it won’t affect us much.”
“Huan Er, do you have a plan?”
Jiang Changbai has always known that his sister was exceptionally strategic, so upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, he subconsciously asks.
Jiang Peihuan looked at the sky above her and then said softly,” There will be a storm in three days. At that time, big brother, you should take the initiative to attack, with General Lin leading the Flying Feather Army to strike from behind at King Chujiang’s Mansion.”
“Miss Jiang, how do you know that there will be rainstorm in three days?”
Lin Xingchen, who had walked over, heard Jiang Peihuan’s words and couldn’t help but look up at the sky. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and it didn’t look like it was going to rain at all.
However, Jiang Peihuan remained silent and turned her eyes to Xiao Nanye.
Meeting her gaze, Xiao Nanye spoke solemnly, “Follow Huan Er’s plan.”
Xiao Nanye has great prestige in the army, and when he speaks, no one dares to object.
After settling everything, Jiang Peihuan whistled, and Lie Feng quickly ran over.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan mount her horse, Jiang Changbai hurriedly approached, “Huan Er, where are you going?”
Xiao Nanye had already been sent by Jiang Peihuan to rest in the tent, but Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen were still outside.
Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Jiang Peihuan said softly,” I’m going fishing. Are you guys coming?”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, both Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen showed surprised expressions.
However, afterwards, Jiang Peihuan, along with Jiang Changbai, Lin Xingchen, and Ye Xiao, headed towards the reservoir behind the mountain.
Han Feng couldn’t go because he had to stay and guard the camp gate, keeping an eye on the provocative stance of the King Chujiang Mansion.
Three kilometers away from the main entrance of the military camp.
“Your Highness, it seems that there is no movement on Xiao Nanye’s side?”
The one who spoke was the deputy general beside King Chujiang. King Chujiang had been stabbed in the shoulder by Jiang Changbai, but the wound had already been dressed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
So after his wound was dressed, he came to the main entrance of the military camp early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the people who actively engaged in battle yesterday were unresponsive today, no matter how they were insulted.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.”
Hearing the deputy general’s words, King Chujiang said softly.
Subsequently, the two armies began a standoff.
At this time, Jiang Peihuan had already ridden to the reservoir behind the military camp.
This location was chosen by Xiao Nanye. Since the reservoir is located behind the camp, they do not need to worry about the enemy attacking.
“Huan Er, this reservoir doesn’t seem like it has any fish.”
Jiang Changbai got off his horse and looked at the green reservoir.
Jiang Peihuan didn’t respond, but was carefully searching around the edge of the reservoir.
Ye Xiao, seeing her actions, asked softly, “Eldest Miss, what are you looking for?”
“I am checking to see if there is any Mateng grass,” she replied.
“Eldest Miss, what is the use of this Mateng grass?”
“The juice of this kind of grass is very attractive to fish and shrimp.”
As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan had already found two purple-green leaves of Mateng grass in a clump of weeds.
Jiang Peihuan rubbed the Mateng grass to squeeze out the juice and then threw it into the reservoir.
A moment later, everyone saw ripples on the water surface, clearly indicating that fish were swimming over.
Seeing this, everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise.
“There really are fish.” said Jiang Changbai.
His eyes full of smiles. Ye Xiao, who was standing next to Jiang Peihuan, quickly spoke up, “Eldest Miss, let me catch the fish for you.”
“There’s no need for you to do it,” Jiang Peihuan replied, turning her gaze towards Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen.
Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Jiang Changbai resignedly said,” This kind of thing is naturally for us men to do.”
As he spoke, Jiang Changbai had already taken off the cloak on his body. Then, with a light tap of his toes, he crossed the surface of the water. When Jiang Changbai came back again, he was holding a fish as long as his arm.
Lin Xingchen did the same.
Afterward, Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen were responsible for catching fish, while Jiang Peihuan and Ye Xiao used the grass root to string the fish together.
More than an hour later, there were already two piles of fish on the ground.
Estimating that it would be enough for the soldiers in the camp to have fish soup, Jiang Peihuan looked at the two men in the water and said, “Elder Brother, General Lin, that’s enough. Don’t catch any more.”
Leaping onto the shore, Jiang Changbai looked at Jiang Peihuan with puzzled eyes and asked, “Why not continue catching?”
“There aren’t many fish in this reservoir,” Jiang Peihuan explained. “We have already caught a lot today. We shouldn’t leave none behind.”
Saying this, Jiang Peihuan handed the string of fish in her hand to Jiang Changbai.
Jiang Peihuan had intended to help carry the fish, but Lie Feng was very averse to the smell of fish and wouldn’t allow her to put the fish on its back.
With no other option, Jiang Peihuan smiled and handed the fish to Jiang Changbai who was beside her.
He reluctantly smiled, and as he was about to take it, Lin Xingchen reached out and said, “I’ll take it.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you.”
After returning to the military camp, Jiang Peihuan had Jiang Changbai send the fish to the kitchen, but she also took one for herself.
An hour later, Jiang Peihuan walked into Xiao Nanye’s tent with a bowl of fish soup.
When she entered, Xiao Nanye was about to take his medicine.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan, he smiled and said, “Huan’er?”
Jiang Peihuan walked to the bedside and placed the fish soup on the table. Then she looked at Xiao Nanye, but when she smelled the medicine, she frowned.
“This medicine?”
Seeing Jiang Peihuan staring at the medicine in his hand, Xiao Nanye looked puzzled. “Isn’t this the conditioning medicine you had the military doctor prepare?”
“Let me see.”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Xiao Nanye handed the medicine to her.
As she took the medicine bowl from him, a soldier standing nearby suddenly made his move.
He drew a dagger and aimed directly at Xiao Nanye. Jiang Peihuan, who was sitting at the bedside, saw this and immediately threw the medicine bowl at the soldier, and drew her whip from her waist.
Seeing Jiang Peihuan engage with the soldier, Xiao Nanye instinctively wanted to help, but Jiang Peihuan stopped him sharply, “Don’t intervene.”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye looked displeased but didn’t act further. Instead, he shouted towards the outside of the tent, “Is anyone there?”
But at this moment, it was time to change shifts outside, and Hanfeng and others did not want to disturb Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, so they were not at the entrance.
For a moment, no one noticed the fighting inside the tent.
While Jiang Peihuan was fighting with the man, she realized that he was highly skilled, clearly a professional assassin.
“Miss Jiang, Your Highness, what is this?” Lin Xingchen, hearing the sound of the struggle, hurriedly lifted the curtain of the tent.
Just as Jian Peihuan was feeling a little tired, Lin Xingchen heard the sound of fighting and quickly opened the curtain.
Seeing him, Xiao Nanye immediately ordered, “Capture this man.”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s command, Lin Xingchen quickly stepped forward..
