"Brother Ji's temperament is truly admirable." Xuanyuan Chen laughed.
"Speaking of temperament, Crown Prince Xuanyuan's true nature back then is truly admirable to me." In response to Xuanyuan Chen's sincere praise, Ji Rufeng also sincerely replied back.
After all, the Xuanyuan Chen back then had left a deep impression on him.
"Today we still have to thank merchant girl and Ji gongzi for the news that they have brought to us. In the future, if there is anything that we can help with, we will definitely do our best to help." Xuanyuan Chen promised solemnly.
"I don't need all my help." Ji Rufeng smiled as she rejected Xuanyuan Chen's good intentions. She turned her head to the side and placed her gaze on Shang Zhiqing, and said indifferently: "Love, let's go. After all, you and Uncle have not seen each other for a long time. "
"Yes." After bidding farewell to Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, the four of them separated in different directions.
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong brought the news that Shang Zhiqing and Ji Rufeng back to the army camp, and called Lin Mu and Shen Haoxuan over to the tent to discuss things.
Shen Haoxuan laid on the chair lazily, his entire body was like a piece of soft bone, shaking the tasseled fan, an indifferent look on his face.
Seeing Shen Haoxuan like that, Xuanyuan Chen helplessly shook his head, and said: "If merchant girl sees your soft and weak look, does merchant girl still fancy you?"
Hearing that, Shen Haoxuan immediately sat up straight, coughed lightly, and changed the topic seriously: "Your Highness, why did you call me and Lin Mu here?"
Seeing that Shen Haoxuan had returned to his previous self, Xuanyuan Chen did not try to tease him further, and asked: "Have the soldiers' food and clothes been well-prepared? In a few more days, it will be time to distribute them again. "Don't screw me up at the most crucial moment."
Although he knew that Shen Haoxuan was reliable, he still couldn't help but ask him one more time.
Shen Haoxuan waved his hand, and vowed sincerely: "My prince, the winter clothes and food rations have already been prepared. "However, these grains are only enough for the soldiers to eat for three months. Once the war breaks out, I'm afraid the pay will be so small …"
Halfway through his words, he stopped and did not continue.
With Xuanyuan Chen's intelligence, he naturally understood Shen Haoxuan's unspoken words. Frowning, he said with an analysis in a low but clear voice, "If it's only three months' worth of food, it's absolutely not enough. I have a premonition that the battle between Wu Huan and the Heavenly Sage is at hand. At that time, the Chu Country will find a reason to attack the Heavenly Saint together. "
"Encountering enemies from all sides and being in a tight spot in the army, we might lose the wife and lose the troops at the same time. "Haoxuan, immediately prepare the food that the army needs for at least half a year. I will only give you half a month. If you can't do it, you don't have to come back to see me!"
"Yes." Shen Haoxuan kneeled on the ground and accepted the order.
"That's right, Hao Xuan, I need a strong martial artist who can gather intelligence and go to Jiang Prefecture in secret. Who do you think can take on such a great mission in the profound mechanism? " Xuanyuan Chen asked.
Although Ji Rufeng had stopped his plans just now, he still felt that if he allowed Ye Jiaze to plot in the Jiang Prefecture, there would be endless trouble in the future.
"There are many capable people in profound mechanism and the Tianyi Pavilion. There are even more people who want a strong martial arts expert and are able to gather and filter out information. Any one of them would be able to do it." Shen Haoxuan said confidently.
He was not sure about other capable warriors, but he was sure that anyone with kung fu skills could gather intelligence. Any one of them could be easily captured by the Tianyi Pavilion.
Just that, he did not know what Xuanyuan Chen wanted from him.
Jiang Prefecture? Could it be that something unexpected was going to happen?
Shen Haoxuan's heart was filled with questions, but he did not raise his own questions. To Xuanyuan Chen, he only needed the person who carried out the orders.
"I naturally have great uses for this person. Haoxuan, you have to carefully choose him. If you're not careful, then the Jiang Prefecture might fall into someone else's hands. At that time, it will be extremely dangerous." Xuanyuan Chen stressed the importance of this person once again.
With such a strong tone, the doubt in Shen Haoxuan's heart became even stronger, and he started to pay more attention to selecting people.
"Yes." I will not disappoint you, your highness. " Shen Haoxuan promised, his tone becoming solemn.
"Come with me."
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's instructions, Shen Haoxuan immediately brought his ear close to Xuanyuan Chen's side and listened to Xuanyuan Chen's whispers. It was only after Xuanyuan Chen told him the whole story, did he understand why it was so important to choose the person to send.
"Your Highness, what do you need me to do?" Lin Mu placed one hand on the accessory at his waist and the other on his waist as he asked respectfully.
Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes as he thought deeply.
After a moment, he said: "If my predictions are correct, there will definitely be a battle between Wu Huan and the Heavenly Saint within a month. You lead your soldiers and do some patrolling work, preventing Wu Huan from sending people into the army camp and burning the food. Otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. "
"Yes." The last general's life! " Lin Mu said in a serious tone.
Even if Xuanyuan Chen didn't remind him, he would still carefully patrol and definitely not allow any form of threat to appear within the camp.
After Shen Haoxuan and Lin Mu both left, Xuanyuan Chen rubbed his eyes a little tiredly, as he leaned his head against Xie Qingrong's shoulder and said, "A Rong, once the war starts, you can go back to the capital."
Xie Qingrong frowned, "And the reason?"
Xuanyuan Chen laughed bitterly: On the battlefield, blades and swords have no eyes, if you follow me, you will be injured, furthermore, if you stay here, I will be distracted.
He wasn't as powerful as they had imagined. Those were merely the praises given to him by the people of the outside world. He was also just an ordinary person who was filled with grief and joy.
"Chen, did you forget that I promised you that I would always stay by your side?" Even if I have to enter the battlefield, I will accompany you. " Xie Qingrong held Xuanyuan Chen's hand and said resolutely.
"Could it be because I am a woman that you look down on me? Do you think that women can go to the battlefield to protect their families and protect their country? " Xie Qingrong asked indifferently, her words sharp.
Xuanyuan Chen stroked Xie Qingrong's finger, Xie Qingrong's finger was slender, cold and tender, but there were a few thin cocoons in her palm.
It was because he was used to holding a weapon that such a cocoon was formed.
She could have been a lady who didn't want to be touched by the sun and spring water, but because of him, she had been following him around everywhere.
Punishing evildoers, threatening, enticing and even killing those who had ill intentions, A Rong had never been soft-hearted before.
He had no way to refuse a woman like her.
Listening to Xie Qingrong's bland retort by her ear, Xuanyuan Chen suddenly felt that there was no need for him to worry about anything that he worried about. No matter what, A Rong was someone who could fight alongside him.
