Chapter 79
If the vassals at the gathering succeed, Daze will immediately fall into turmoil, let alone the death of the abolished prince, which is due to the ineffective defense of Zhishou County.

The deposed prince was captured by the subordinate country, and Qi Zhang and Tan Ji were the first to rush to save him.

If he is rescued, he is fine, but if he cannot be rescued, the subordinate country takes the deposed prince as a hostage and presses Daze step by step.

Will the thousands of border guards retreat or not?

Sheng Jiaojiao gritted her silver teeth, her eyes were full of hatred,
"It's such a trouble, I have to send them back to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

The whole family was at the Jumping Horse Lake Fair, and they were simply dragging Tan Ji and Qi Zhang back!
"What did you say?"

Miss Qi was busy cleaning things in Sheng Jiaojiao's room, so she didn't hear what Sheng Jiaojiao said.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said it again,
"I said that after this episode, the nobles at the fair have to go back early."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao walked to her desk, and she solemnly took out a wooden box, which contained the high-quality rice paper that Qi Ming had brought back from the south.

She rubbed the ink, pinched the cuff of her right hand lightly with her left fingertips, and softly swayed her right wrist. The font she wrote was different from the hairpin lowercase she wrote every day.

Miss Qi didn't know what Sheng Jiaojiao was doing, so she hurriedly cleaned up the house for Sheng Jiaojiao.

It is said that the doors and windows are to be closed tightly, and everyone stays in the house, so naturally they cannot move around easily.

So the Qi family has to take advantage of this time to bring all the things they need to stay in the house into the house.

Sheng Jiaojiao thought for a while, then shook her head, she didn't have anything important.

So Miss Qi went out to pack her things again.

After Sheng Jiaojiao finished writing the letter in her hand, put Yin Ze's name on it, and then sat behind the table, Dan Feng's eyes brightened, she carefully folded a full sheet of letter paper, put it in an envelope, and brought a candle, Drops of wax on top of the seal.

While the candle was still dry, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, took off the ebony hairpin on her head, and confidently carved the small lump of wax into a totem.

This is Yin Ze's private seal.

After finishing all this, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then wrote a few large characters on the envelope in a fluttering manner: Worship to the Emperor's Grandmother.

"Four guys."

Sheng Jiaojiao opened the window and called Qi Rong who was about to pass by.

She was sitting in the window, at eye level with the boy, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her slender white fingers, and beckoned to Qi Rong.

Now that he had something to say, Qi Rong moved closer, turned his face away, and put one ear in front of Sheng Jiaojiao.

She handed the letter she had just written to Qi Rong, and said softly:

"Go to the post station quickly and send this letter to the imperial mausoleum of the imperial capital."

She said her personal name, which was the name of an old palace guard who guarded the queen's tomb.

Qi Rong scratched his head, and didn't ask Sheng Jiaojiao how he knew the people from the imperial tomb, but seeing Sheng Jiaojiao's serious expression, Qi Zhi knew that this matter could not be delayed.

He immediately took advantage of the fact that the militia had not yet been organized and Huangtu Village still had omissions, and hurried out of the village to deliver a letter to the jumping horse lake station.

Sheng Jiaojiao was waiting at home, and after a while, Mrs. Qi Er came back in a panic, bringing back the news from Jishang.

Now that she has taken over the job of Niu Ju, she only needs to deliver apples to the vendors in the market every day and sell the embroidery in her hand, so she leaves the house early in the morning.

In fact, according to the schedule, Mrs. Qi should have returned to the set long ago.

It was because the nobleman's mansion in Jishang was attacked, and the guards around the nobleman procrastinated for time, blood flowed like rivers in Jishang, Qin Wa and Bai Tao sent troops to reinforce and surrounded Jishang.

People who are not from villages near Tiaoma Lake are not allowed to enter or leave at will.

A little later, Qi Er Niangzi will be sealed in Jishang.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Qi started clasping her hands together again, chanting words,

"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, don't mess up, don't do it"

However, Sheng Jiaojiao let go of her heart. The deposed prince was not dead and was not captured by the subordinate country, so it was not a big problem.

She sat quietly in the main room, looking at the old lady at home, her mother, and three aunts. Now all the men are outside, and there are only a few women left in the room.

At this time, nothing can happen at home.

As soon as she finished thinking this way, Ergou from the village militia came to the outside of Qi's yard in a hurry.
"Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang, there is a fight in the north of the county. The east and west camps are in urgent need of medicinal materials. People from the front line are here."

As he finished speaking, a bloody man rushed into the yard, and fell directly in the yard of Qi's family, startled a few sheep jumping around under the tree.

Sheng Jiaojiao got up and went out, with several women from the Qi family following behind her.

Everyone looked into the courtyard, Tan Xiaojian got up from the ground covered in blood, and cupped his hands at Sheng Jiaojiao,

"Jiao Niang, the luggage in Zhishou County has not been in place, and we have been cheated."

Because the medicinal materials and side dishes provided by Sheng Jiaojiao were nothing but Yeluzi after all, they were all bought by the four battalion commanders of Tiaoma Lake with their own money, and they were not reported to the public.

It is enough for the four barracks in Jumping Horse Lake in non-wartime.

But during the war, whether it is food, grass or medicinal materials, it consumes a lot.

When the four battalion commanders signed the contract with Sheng Jiaojiao to raise supplies from the people, the amount requested was only enough for non-wartime consumption.

What they were thinking at the time was that Sheng Jiaojiao would provide some, and Zhishou County would also provide them with some.

After the initial period of time, in the end, it still depends on the strength of the entire Daze to provide supplies for the frontline soldiers.

As for the change of the subordinate country, it was written by the General Soldier of Tiaoma Lake 800 years ago and submitted to the public.

Under normal circumstances, even if Emperor Daze did not respond in time, the county king of Zhishou County should be vigilant. Before the emperor of Daze moved, the county king should first find supplies for the soldiers on the border.

According to the statute, Tan Ji and the others were soldiers of Zhishou County. After the imperial capital declared war, the imperial capital provided them with supplies to fight. If there was no war, the emperor would not care about them.

The usual military pay and military supplies are provided by Zhishou County.

That is to say, it is equivalent to a basic guarantee.

Therefore, the support supplies of the East and West Battalions have always been available, but they cannot meet the needs of wartime.

However, if it overlaps with the privately-raised supplies provided by Sheng Jiaojiao, there is no difference.

But I don't know what went wrong. Tan Ji and Qi Zhang have been on defense for so many days, and the support for Zhishou County is not in place yet.

And the nomadic tribe that had been entrenched outside the pass suddenly launched an attack on Tan Ji and Qi Zhang in the north of the county when some of the vassals made trouble in Ji.

They seemed to want to tear a gap in this Daze.

The emperor didn't care about them, the security supplies were not in place, and the supplies raised by the people themselves were not enough. Qi Zhang and Tan Ji could only carry them, but they couldn't carry them for long.

Qi Zhang immediately thought of Sheng Jiaojiao. Since the government is unreliable, the military camp can only increase purchases from the private sector in private.

This was what they were afraid of before, so they never refused Sheng Jiaojiao's dumping of medicinal materials and side dishes to the East and West camps.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't expect that there would be something wrong with the security supplies in Zhishou County. She turned around a few times, then ran back to the house to look at the calendar, and suddenly realized that the Prince of Zhishou County at this time was still an old prince.

This old county king has no friendship with Tan Ji at all, and he is extremely stupid. Of course, he doesn't care whether the security supplies for the East and West Camps arrive a few days sooner or later.

Sheng Jiaojiao was in the room, and she was so angry that she could only bite her silver teeth. A few days earlier, a few days later, it was just a flick of the nobles' fingers, but for the front line, it was thousands, or even tens of thousands. Human life.

Human life is worthless, huh!
Back then when she planted trees for the deposed prince to improve his mood, Sheng Jiaojiao saw that these noble people were quick in response and execution. When it was the turn of the army to prepare for the burden, none of them reacted in time.

It's no wonder that Daze will fall into a situation of being besieged on all sides in the future, suffering from chronic diseases and redundant officials. Daze really has too many problems.

Sheng Jiaojiao lifted her skirt and put it out of the room, stood under the eaves, took a deep breath, and calmly asked Tan Xiaojian,
"What is the front line most lacking now?"

"Lack of medicine."

Tan Xiaojian answered quickly, he looked hopefully at the calm and stunning woman in front of him,
"Jiaoniang, I know this is embarrassing for you. Can you raise more than four times the original amount of medicinal materials in two days? The battalion commander said that you have friends who are drug dealers, and the price is not a problem. We will charge at double the price. "

"Go back, I'll figure out a way."

Sheng Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, two days, very good, two days is enough.

In the courtyard, Tan Xiaojian, who was covered in blood, looked carefully at Sheng Jiaojiao. He couldn't see a trace of panic from her, as if everything was well planned.

As long as she can raise the right amount of medicinal materials, as long as her medicinal materials are in place!
With a sound of "bang dang", Tan Xiaojian's heavy armor slammed, he knelt down towards Sheng Jiaojiao with his knees, hugged his hands together, and said with a sob:

"Jiao Niang, I will represent the four thousand border guards of the Second Battalion from East and West, thank you Jiao Niang for your kindness."

"You're welcome, go ahead, I'll wait for your triumphant return."

Sheng Jiaojiao flicked her sleeves, turned around, and went to the backyard.

Seeing this, several women of the Qi family looked at each other in blank dismay. Miss Qi wanted to follow, but Sheng Jiaojiao tilted her head slightly, her black hair was draped over her shoulders, and she showed a fair side profile.
"Auntie, don't follow me."

For some reason, as soon as she said this, she had a natural sense of command, so that even if Miss Qi wanted to, she had to obey Sheng Jiaojiao's words.

She stopped in place, watching Sheng Jiaojiao's slender figure disappear into the woods in the backyard.

After Sheng Jiaojiao left, the Qi family supported Tan Xiaojian and asked about the general situation in the north of the county. Because Tan Ji and Qi Zhang had already made preparations, Kou Xiu's raid this time did not cause much loss to the East and West Second Battalions.

But fighting is fighting for supplies, and not having much loss does not mean that there is no loss. The medicinal materials of the East and West Battalions are being consumed like running water.

Without medicinal materials, a minor injury would turn into a serious injury, and a serious injury would lead to death.

So as long as the luggage can keep up, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji have a great chance of winning.

Tan Xiaojian didn't say much about the rest, he had to return to the East and West Second Battalion in a hurry, so he couldn't stay here for long, so he turned around and told Ergou to do everything he could to cooperate with Sheng Jiaojiao.

Ergou naturally complied, and not long after sending Tan Xiaojian away, Qi Rong ran back again, his little face was flushed because he ran in a hurry.

"Oh, you bastard, what did you do?"

Miss Qi San pointed at Qi Zhi, thinking that it seemed that she hadn't seen him for a long time, and this scoundrel must have gone somewhere to fool around again.

Qi Rong was scurrying about in the yard like oiling the soles of his feet,

"I went to the post station. There is a letter from my sister."

It was good that he went to the post station to deliver a letter for Auntie, but there was also a Sheng Jiaojiao letter there, and it happened that Qi Rong arrived at the post station and brought back this letter.

"Show me."

The one who spoke was Sheng Jiaojiao who had already returned from the woods in the backyard. Miss Qi turned her head in surprise and saw Sheng Jiaojiao standing under the eaves. She thought Sheng Jiaojiao would go to the backyard for a long time.

Qi Rong hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand, and Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at the cover, feeling confident.

The letter was written by Chen Adi.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked into the room slowly, opened the envelope, and opened it to look at the contents.

The letter was very long, and she laughed as she read it.

Several members of the Qi family are illiterate, but Qi Rong knows a few words, but he is the farthest away from Sheng Jiaojiao.

So Miss Qi asked:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what's the matter?"

"It's a good thing, a great thing."

Standing in the main room, Sheng Jiaojiao slowly folded the letter in her hand, and said with a smile:
"Grandma, grandma, first aunt, second aunt, take a rest today, and pick the herbs in the woods tomorrow. Fourth brother, third aunt, follow me to the collection tomorrow."

She just sprinkled a lot of water in the woods, and it is estimated that a large piece of herbs will grow tomorrow morning.

But this piece of herbal medicine is not enough to meet the needs of the two camps in the north and west of the county.

So Sheng Jiaojiao planned to go to the medicine field in the pit at a later time, while the whole family was asleep, and plant a large piece of it vigorously. The whole family had to go to battle to harvest all these medicines.

But this is risky, because Niu Ju stays in the soil all day, and she actually knows the harvest and growth of that medicine field best.

So tomorrow, Sheng Jiaojiao has to spend some time to get Niu Ju away and prevent her from going to the medicine field tomorrow.

He also had to explain to the Qi family how such a large piece of medicinal material came about.

For this reason, because the situation of the battle is unpredictable, Sheng Jiaojiao had to find several other large medicinal fields, plant a large area of ​​medicinal materials every day, and then trick the Qi family, how did the large area of ​​medicinal materials that appeared at irregular points every day exist? of.

She has even made up several explanations in her mind, some have miracles, some grow wild, some have been planted earlier, and this time they can finally be picked
In short, even at the risk of being discovered as a water ghost, Sheng Jiaojiao had to supply Tan Ji and Qi Zhang with medicinal materials.

But now it seems that there is no such trouble, Chen Adi wrote to Sheng Jiaojiao.

She said in the letter that she had always wanted to do something for the border guards in Daze, and Sheng Jiaojiao literally showed her the way.
