Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 912 The military merits picked up

Why didn't you respond a few days ago?

But now there seems to be no explanation other than this statement?
No matter what, it was the medicine from my siblings that saved them anyway!

It's simply God's eyes opened, these people's lives should not be cut off!
Qin Jian was so excited that he hid for a while, took his brothers out, and shouted: "Your Highness! We are here!"

King Jing is urging his soldiers to move all the weapons away, so that all the soldiers in the army will be replaced with new weapons. How majestic and elegant!
Then he heard Qin Jian's voice. He looked up and saw a group of very embarrassed-looking people coming over excitedly.

Qin Jian and his group were small in number, and at a glance, one could see that everyone was neatly arranged. Even Prince Jing, an old man, felt a sore nose.

They went up the mountain for several days, but the mountain was heavily guarded. There was no news at all, and they did not dare to send a signal to inform the people below.

King Jing once thought that their entire army was wiped out, and he was very sad for a while, but the mountain was really difficult to attack, and the enemy still had gunpowder, so they couldn't get close at all.

But who would have expected that early this morning, several people who were sent out to investigate the situation came back to report that something must have happened on the mountain. There were many new weapons scattered on the hillside. They were numerous and did not look like traps.

They were a little hesitant at first. After all, Qin Jian and the others didn't give a signal and wanted to wait.

As a result, there was no news, and I suspected that Qin Jian and others had all disappeared in order to complete this task. I felt very sad, so I decided to go up the mountain to see what happened. At worst, I would have to fight with these people.

As a result, going up the mountain was like picking up mushrooms, picking up prisoners and weapons along the way. Occasionally, I saw a few people who were not unconscious, and they were not their opponents, and they were captured without much effort.

Now he met Qin Jian and others directly!

They are all still alive!

"Old Qin!"

Prince Jing suppressed the sourness in his heart and shouted to them.

They were all in utter disarray and their faces were filled with vicissitudes of life. They must have suffered a lot in the past few days.

Prince Jing took a few steps forward, held Qin Jian's shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard. Thanks to those medicines from my siblings, otherwise we might not all survive!"

"Yes, yes, I finally saw how powerful that woman is. Fortunately, I didn't provoke her too much before!"

Prince Jing was still frightened, but fortunately he was smart for once and did not completely become enemies with He Jiuniang.

Afterwards, King Jing arranged for people to escort them down the mountain, while he continued to lead people to pick up loot on the mountain. He also asked Qin Jian to inform General Li to also bring people up. More people would make it easier to move things.

After ensuring the safety of Qin Jian and others, He Jiuniang went back to the big tree where she had just rested, and saw that Lu Baichuan was already waiting for her.

"You acted very quickly. Have you done everything?"

"Well, let's go."

Lu Baichuan bent down in front of her and said, "Come up, I'll carry you down the mountain."

He Jiuniang jumped on his back without any courtesy and said softly: "Oh, I'm really exhausted~"

After being tired for such a long time, Lu Baichuan did not plan to go back immediately. Instead, he took He Jiuniang to find an inn in the border city to sleep first.

Both of them were dressed as ordinary people and did not attract attention.

Of course, what's more important is that a very lively thing happened in the city at this time, and no one paid attention to these two ordinary people.

When they woke up and went downstairs to eat, they heard the people at the next table talking about the lively things happening in the city.

"Have you heard? The prefect hanged himself at home!"

"Isn't this already spread all over the place? No one knows yet!"

"I heard that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. The generals on the border sent troops to surround the prefect's house!" "Do you know what the prefect did?"

"Then who knows? It can't be a good thing anyway, otherwise he wouldn't die so quickly!"

……

Listening to their discussion, He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan also understood that it was probably the prefect who learned about the mine and was afraid that the court would punish him, so he committed suicide in fear of being punished.

The magistrate was quite a smart man. He had been colluding with King Xun for many years. If he had been found out, he would have suffered a lot. But just dying like this would have benefited him and hurt his family.

The two of them are not interested in these matters. Prince Jing will take care of it. When the time comes, the court will appoint other officials to take over, and the crisis on the border will be resolved.

After eating, the two of them walked around the streets and took in the lives of the people.

The cities on the border are naturally not as prosperous as the capital. They are a bit depressed in comparison, but because there has been no war recently, the people have smiles on their faces.

Even if they live in poverty, as long as their family members are safe and don't have to worry about their livelihood, they will be very happy.

There are dairy products sellers on the street, but the business is not very good.

He Jiuniang stepped forward and tasted it. The fishy smell was very strong, the taste was not very good, and the processing method was very rough. No wonder the business was not good.

"Madam, these are all just delivered by our own horses this morning. They are very fresh!"

The other party was an elderly man. He looked at the couple with particularly earnest eyes.

Although it didn't taste good, He Jiuniang still took out two water bags and handed them to her father-in-law, saying, "Help us fill up both water bags."

The old man was very happy. He took the water bag and started pouring mare's milk into it.

Filling two large water bladders only cost ten cents, which He Jiuniang thought was ridiculously cheap.

"Old man, if you sell it so cheaply, you will lose money, right?"

Such a small amount of money is not even enough to raise a horse.

"Oh, they are all home-produced things. If you can't sell them, it would be a waste to keep them at home. You can still make some money if you sell them."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The horses they raised at home were all pregnant or given birth mares in the army. They were sent to the people's homes to raise them. The mare's milk was considered as a reward for the people. They could also use a cart to help transport some. Things will be returned when the army needs them.

This can be regarded as mutual benefit between the military and the people. Ordinary people cannot afford horses, and they can only use manpower for heavy work at home.

By helping the army raise horses, not only can they earn money from selling mare milk, but they can also occasionally help pull goods. The common people are very happy to take this job.

He Jiuniang nodded to express her understanding. Lu Baichuan took the filled water bag and the two left the stall.

"This mare's milk doesn't taste good. Why did you buy so much of it?"

"Take care of the old man's business!"

He Jiuniang said, asking him to open the lid of the water bag, then dug into his sleeves, took out a bag of powder and poured it in.

"Tighten the lid and shake vigorously."

Lu Baichuan did as he was told, but still didn't understand, and asked, "What is this?"

"I put some koji seeds in it and fermented it to make sour mare's milk, which is much better to drink. I took it back and gave it to my son to try."

Since money has been spent, it cannot be wasted.

Lu Baichuan didn't know how she could have so many weird things in her mind, and he immediately wanted to taste the sour mare's milk.
