The Empress Dowager

Chapter 413 The difference is very far
The frontlines continue to fight.

In the past few days, the weather has suddenly turned cold, and it began to rain lightly. Nangong Yue sat on a chair with a teacup in her hand and read ancient books, feeling very uneasy.

Dongmei added some charcoal to the stove, and wiped the table with a rag:
"Miss, it's really not easy to fight in this kind of weather. It would be nice if the war would end sooner."

"Yeah, the war started, and the lives of the common people were ruined. It would be great if one day the world would be peaceful." Nangong Yue put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Dongmei: "Take a rest too, don't wipe it."

"The slaves are not tired." Dongmei said while wiping the table.

Xiaoju lifted the curtain and walked in: "Miss, two soldiers are looking for you."

Murong Yu was fighting on the front line, could it be that something happened and sent soldiers to inform her?Nangong Yue's mood suddenly became dull, and she said, "Soldiers? Tell them to come in."

"Yes, miss." Xiaoju replied, and called the two soldiers standing outside to come in.

The two soldiers, one fat and one thin, walked up to Nangong Yue, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you Miss Nangong for saving your life."

Nangong Yue looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and frowned: "What's the matter, get up and talk."

Nangong Yue only thought that these two people looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who they were?
"Yes, Miss Nangong." The two soldiers quickly got up and looked at Nangong Yue excitedly.

"Miss Nangong, my name is Fugui, and his name is Chen Jun. The last time we went to buy chickens from the people's homes at the foot of the mountain, the great prince knew about it. He suspected that we were doing secret work. It was you who saved us. Thank you, Miss Nangong, for your help." Thank you!" said the overweight soldier.

Nangong Yue suddenly remembered that they were the soldiers who bought chickens last time, and it had been so long that she forgot.

"Are your injuries healed?" Nangong Yue asked.

"It's almost recovered. If we hadn't been beaten, we would have come to thank Miss Nangong immediately." Fugui said with a smile.

"Yes, Ms. Nangong, thank you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to live in this world. Ms. Nangong is really a good person!" Chen Jun said.

Hearing what they had said, Nangong Yue finally let go of her worry. Nangong Yue calmed down her emotions, looked at the two of them and said, "You can't do this again next time. If you are arrested for eating, It's not worth it."

In Nangong Yue's impression, the food supply of the army is relatively tight. Last time, because they went to buy chickens, Nangong Yue deliberately inquired, but after inquiring, the matter was not what Nangong Yue thought at all.

Regarding the military salary, the emperor paid special attention to it, so the military salary allocated each time was enough for the normal expenses of an army, and the food and clothing of the soldiers would not be too bad.

However, what Nangong Yue saw was far from what she heard. There must be something wrong with it.

"Miss Nangong said that if it hadn't been for...for such a long time and we hadn't tasted the meat, we wouldn't have violated the military regulations to buy chicken." Chen Jun said.

When he and Fugui first came to serve as soldiers, they heard that the soldiers had food and drink, so don't worry, it was indeed like this at first, but who knows, after a long time, it will not be like that.

At first, they thought it was because the military salary hadn't come down yet, and they could have better food after waiting. Who knew, it took such a long time to wait.
