Chapter 69 Fengtian Rice
I didn’t update yesterday, but today I have two chapters.
***************
"Brother?...Why did he capture our people?" Yu Zhong shouted.
"Sir, they said we kept military rations privately and did not comply with military discipline..." The soldier said anxiously: "Tao Zhao argued with them, and even got beaten..."
"Damn it, what do you think of us? We don't know that there is a shortage of military rations. This is obviously a fault..." Yu Zhong said angrily, stretched out his hand and rushed out. The head of Zhao in the soldier's mouth was Zhao Dahe. When he blocked the mountain road, if he hadn't been calmly commanding the artillery, Yu Zhong and his group would not have been able to stop Dorji's first charge. Therefore, Yu Zhong was always very grateful to him. Now that he heard that someone had beaten him, he was of course angry.
Seeing Yu Zhong rushing outward, Made wanted to hold him up, but he was one step too late and had no choice but to nod to Mingzhu and then rushed out.
...
The place where the accident happened was not far away. When Zhong arrived, he saw Zhao Dahe and several of his subordinates being escorted towards him. Following him was a group of imperial soldiers, leading a young man wearing bright yellow armor. However, Xu Rigan and others led a group of Kerrbi cavalry and Fengtian soldiers to stand in front of the group, as if they wanted to do something but didn't dare to do it. They couldn't help but retreat as the young man moved forward.
"What's going on?" Yu Zhong saw this situation and his anger increased, and he immediately walked up to shout.
Everyone turned their eyes to the middle with the voice, and the young man wearing bright yellow armor had a particularly sharp look.
"Sir..." Xu Rigan was happy when he saw Yu Zhong coming, and immediately ran over and shouted. Although Zhao Dahe and Yu Zhong were not close, their identity was very special. It was not too much to say that they were Yu Zhong's savior. Although he was a slave of Ma De, he certainly understood that Zhao Dahe was arrested and he could not sit idly by any means. However, the young man's status was too high. Although he could save people, he did not have the courage... He was a slave and had innate awe of the nobles, not to mention that the other side was a prince.
"Well," Yu Zhong didn't answer much. After he saw Yinzhi wearing bright yellow armor, the anger in his heart had cooled down. Minghuang was a royal suit. After all, the other party said that it was Kangxi's eldest son, but it was much more important than the mere Nian Gengyao. So, he took a deep breath and first called Yinzhi Qian'er: "Please treat the eldest prince!"
"Who are you?" Yinzhi asked lightly.
"The Yaquessa governor, in the middle."
"Yu Zhong? Humph, it turns out you are the one Yu Zhong," Yinzhi snorted and suddenly asked Zhong: "Do you know that you have the crime of not being strict with your subordinates?"
"I am not strict with the ruler? I wonder where the eldest prince said this? What does this have to do with the eldest prince arresting these people?" Yu Zhongzhong was angry and asked in a deep voice.
"The army is short of food and grass, and the soldiers can only have one meal every day, so it is difficult to eat enough even if it is like this... However, under such circumstances, your subordinates are still hiding military rations privately. Isn't this enough?" Yinzhi said in a sequel.
"Privately hiding military rations?" Yu Zhong smiled coldly, "I wonder where the eldest prince can see that we have privately hiding military rations?"
"You still dare to argue?" For some reason, Yinzhi always felt a little disgusted with Zhong. He took a bowl of rice handed over by the soldiers beside him, reached in front of Yu Zhong and said, "All the soldiers in the army are hungry, but you are rice and meat. Isn't this private military ration? "
"We just arrived today and didn't know the shortage of food in the army. Besides, these foods were taken on the road, not for private storage..." Yu Zhong said loudly.
"I don't care about these things. You can tell others then," Yinzhi waved his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "Take everyone away."
"You..." Yu Zhong's anger came up again. He was about to stop Yinzhi again, but was pulled by a hand stretched out from behind. Then, Ma De slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Ma De, the governor of Ningguta, pay tribute to the eldest prince." Ma De also first called Qian'er to Yinzhi, and claimed his name, and then stood in front of Yinzhi and stopped moving.
"Huh?" Seeing Ma De blocking his way, Yinzhi frowned and said unhappily: "What's wrong with you? If you're fine, just dodge me."
"I want to ask the eldest prince something." Ma De frowned when he said this. After all, he was not a real man. It was not a good idea to call himself a "slave" in front of others. However, his face immediately returned to normal.
"What's up?"
"I would like to ask, where is the eldest prince currently in charge?"
"...What do you mean?" Yinzhi was stunned and asked.
"There are rules in the army. I heard that the eldest prince has been granted the title of Zhibeile by the emperor, and his status is respectful. However, the eldest prince is a title rather than a military position. If he wants to arrest people, he must have a reasonable identity. So, I would like to ask, what is your identity in the army." Ma De looked directly at Yinzhi and asked lightly.
"...Hmph, I am now under Feiyanggu as the deputy general." Yinzhi replied with a little smugness. The deputy general is from the second rank, just in time to suppress the two units.
"Feiyanggu? It turns out that the eldest prince obeyed the orders under the Feijun Sect... Then the eldest prince would not care about the matter of the imperial camp, right?" Yu Zhong interrupted coldly.
"Bold, the eldest prince is in charge of his work, and where is your turn to take care of him?" shouted a soldier under Yinzhen.
"Ahem..."
"Uncle..." The coughing attracted the attention of many people. After Yinzhi saw the person who made the coughing sound, he exclaimed even more.
"Mingzhu has met the eldest prince."
Few people don't know who Yinzhi's uncle was. Although it means that Zhu has been dismissed, the shadow of the famous Shu saw him walking to him, and the people present took the initiative to give way to him and let him walk to Yinzhi.
"Uncle...uncle doesn't have to be polite." Yinzhi didn't understand why Mingzhu suddenly appeared here. His uncle has taken great care of him since he was a child, but since Mingzhu was dismissed, he has never dared to look for this uncle because he was afraid of being gossiped about it. Mingzhu followed the army. He knew that he had suffered a lot, but never said a word about it. Therefore, he always felt guilty about Mingzhu. When he saw Mingzhu suddenly appear today, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Mingzhu's criminal minister, I dare not call him such a title," Mingzhu smiled and bowed to Yinzhen, and said, "It's cold in the Gobi night. Big Brother should take a break earlier. If you suffer from the cold, it will be bad."
"Thank you for your concern. Yinzhi will go to rest later." Yinzhi didn't know how to answer, but thought for a while before bowing and answering.
"Haha, that's good..." Mingzhu smiled, stopped saying anything, but turned around and left. However, just as everyone was watching him walking elsewhere for no reason, they heard another voice.
"Mingzhu, do you want to go back to bed so early? I remember that you have always been in good spirits..."
...
Then, Kangxi and a few people turned out from behind a tent.
...
"Keep to the Emperor (Emperor Ahma)..."
No one expected Kangxi to appear suddenly, but when facing Kangxi, the first thing everyone present had to do was to kneel down, even Yinzhi was the same.
"I was bored at night. I wanted to patrol the camp, but I didn't expect to meet so many people... Yinzhi, why are you here to come here if you are not in Feiyanggu's camp?"
Kangxi's previous words were very calm, but when he said the next sentence, his tone suddenly turned sharply, which scared everyone's figures and their bodies were shorter.
"Well, Hui Emperor Ama, I am sending a letter to Feiyanggu." Yinzhi's head drooped low and replied in a low voice.
"Sending a letter? Since it's sending a letter, why don't you come to find me and come here to make trouble?" Kangxi said angrily.
"Emperor, my son... I can't see it," Yinzhi suddenly raised his head, took two steps, and leaned forward to Kangxi and said, "Emperor, more than 100 people have starved to death by the front army camp until yesterday. Feijunmen was very anxious about this and wrote a letter to the Emperor Ama for help. But Erzhi just returned here and saw them..." Yinzhi pointed at Zhao Dahe and others, and continued, "Seeing that they were rice and meat, I was so angry that I was so angry that I wanted to arrest them for punishment..."
"That's true?"
"I dare not say a word of lies. If the Emperor Ama doesn't believe it, please ask the soldiers who came back with me." Yinzhi replied.
"Well," Kangxi did not comment on Yinzhi's words, but turned around and looked at the other two people, "Yu Zhong, Ma De, what's going on with you?"
"Your Majesty, we brought this food on the way, and we just arrived today. We didn't know that there was a shortage of food in the army. I heard that the eldest prince captured our subordinates, so I rushed over and wanted to ask what happened." Ma De said.
"So that's it... A small misunderstanding is going to make a fuss. You really disappoint me." Kangxi sighed, without saying anything, and turned his eyes to Mingzhu, who was kneeling there, and asked, "Mingzhu, why are you here too?"
"Back to the emperor, slave, slave..."
"Your Majesty, we were about to have a meal when we happened to meet Lord Ming, so we invited him to have a meal together." Seeing Mingzhu hesitate, Yu Zhong said for him.
"Oh? Someone in the military camp also invited you to dinner. Mingzhu, you are so lucky..." Kangxi smiled at Mingzhu, and then asked Yu Zhong: "What have you eaten?"
"Back to the emperor, it's just rice and marinated meat, and some pickles."
"Rice? Haha, it seems that you have been doing well all the way, and you even brought rice," Kangxi looked at the bowl of rice presented by Yinzhi's subordinates after hearing Yu Zhong's words, and smiled and said, "Is this rice good? It's like the best Jiangnan rice. It seems that you have lived a good life all the way."
"Your Majesty, these rice are not Jiangnan rice, but Fengtian rice..." Ma De said.
