Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 231 The little wolf who understands human nature
Murong Jiu nodded and touched the little wolf's head.

A hair mutation like the wolf pup should actually be considered a disease, but it does not affect the wolf's health. It is just that it is weaker than other wolves at birth. If it is well fed, it will be no worse than other wolves when it grows up.

"Big brother, don't you have a brocade bag that you embroidered with your own hands? It has your smell on it. They asked people to let the little wolf get familiar with your smell. When it came into my hands, I also let it get familiar with your smell all day long, so it That’s why I’m so affectionate to you.”

"No wonder, third brother, you asked me for my old handkerchief and old tips half a month ago. It turned out that you wanted to give me such a big surprise! I like it so much. It is so well-behaved. Look at it being held by me. , won’t even move around, Third Brother’s training is so good!”

"As long as you like it. The little wolf was abandoned by the wolves when he was born. He probably didn't even open his eyes at that time. He really almost died. He has been smelling the tips that smell like you and thinks of you as a way to save him. He is a very kind person, so he didn’t recognize you at all when he first saw you, and he was very well-behaved. He is not like this to others, he shows his teeth and is very fierce.”

Hearing what Third Brother said, Murong Jiu liked it even more.

I also want to thank my eldest brother and second brother for thinking of me even though they are far away at the border.

She wanted to write a letter of thanks and share her joy at this time with Jun Yuyan.

Fu Han followed her to the study room with a smile and helped her polish ink. He wanted to help her hold the little wolf, but unexpectedly the little wolf didn't want to. He stood on the desk with his head raised, as if he was sentrying for someone, and he was very nervous. Vigilant, quite a bit of the majesty of a wolf king.

When Murong Jiu saw him, he liked him even more. With such a little wolf by his side, he would be more cheerful in the future.

After writing the letter, she handed it to the secret guard.

The secret guard would only call the falcon that delivered the message after leaving the palace and tie the letter to the falcon's leg.

Because there are other spies around the palace, the target of the falcon is too big, and it can easily be shot down to intercept information and so on.

These falcons were domesticated by Jun Yuyan in the past and are faster than homing pigeons.

After all, the distance was still too far, and the falcons were tired from flying. Murong Jiu originally didn't want to exchange letters frequently, but Jun Yuyan asked her to report that she was safe at least once every three or four days to let him know the situation on her side.

In the evening we had a fish feast, with everything from sweet to spicy to sour. Kaixuan also drank a large bowl of fish soup and ate a bowl of fish picked out by his servants.

Triumph is the name of the little white wolf. Murong Jiu gave it the name in order for the army to make a triumphant return and for the husband, father and brother to return safely.

Kaixuan was indeed very obedient and well-behaved, and would not run around. No matter what Murong Jiu did during the day, he would follow closely behind him. When he was quietly reading or embroidering clothes, he would lie at his feet and sleep. However, when sleeping at night, Kaixuan would also He wants to sleep under her bed, and if there is any disturbance, he will be more alert than anyone else.

Hongyi laughed and said that Kaixuan is more effective than her now.

Chuntao also likes Kaixuan very much. She was originally worried that the little wolf would accidentally trip the lady, but later she found out that the little wolf would only follow the lady and not run around, so she felt relieved.

She also made a little wolf-shaped stuffed doll for Kaixuan, but Kaixuan was not interested. But after Murong Jiu embroidered Kaixuan's name on it, the little wolf wouldn't let go of the stuffed doll and kept it in his mouth wherever he went.

"You are really spiritual. My eldest brother and my second brother have very good vision."

Fu Han was amazed. When he was training at his place before, he had never found this little wolf to be so understanding of human nature.

The atmosphere in the palace was very cheerful.

There was endless debate in the court.

The reason is that after General Fu and King Ling arrived at the border, they only defended and never attacked once. With such a large army, just one day's rations were a huge consumption.

Some people think that General Fu and King Ling should lead the army to a quick victory, instead of procrastinating, like people who are afraid of death, causing the people to laugh at them.

Others say that since we cannot defeat the Xiongnu, we should cede territory and pay compensation for peace. Otherwise, if this waste continues, the national treasury will be empty, and we are afraid that other foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation in the future.Of course, no one with integrity and ambition would agree to sue for peace, and would rather die in battle than surrender. This is a huge shame, and Dayan has not reached this point.

However, the copy of Lieutenant General Ouyang of the Border Pass also arrived at the court at this time.

After hearing the content, Prime Minister Li said angrily: "King Ling is really a child's play. So much meat was eaten by the army in one day without thinking about the future at all! I thought that King Ling was brave and mighty when he marched and fought in the early years, but he didn't expect that now. It’s so unreliable!”

"Yes, why didn't General Fu stop him and allowed Prince Ling to play such a childish game?"

"Prince Ling is General Fu's son-in-law. General Fu cannot speak out for fear of suffering for his daughter."

"Is General Fu also confused?"

Everyone was chattering, and the emperor on the dragon throne also frowned slightly.

At this time, Wu'an Hou said loudly: "Don't be impatient. As far as I know, the bacon was sent to Hexi by Princess Ling with her caravan and escort. It is considered the private property of the palace. Prince Ling is willing to take all the bacon." Coming out to share with the army is obviously a righteous act!"

A minister said: "So what if it is private property? King Ling's move is to ignore the past and the future. Let him lead the army to fight against the Xiongnu. It is really uneasy!"

Marquis Wu An sneered: "According to Master Gu, why don't you lead the troops to fight and let everyone see how you win the battle?"

Mr. Gu's face suddenly turned pale with fright. The Huns' secret weapon was so terrifying. The second prince had not yet recovered from his injuries. How could he, a civil servant, dare to go to the battlefield?

Marquis Wu'an looked at the emperor and saw that his face was not very good. He wondered if he had any objection to King Ling.

He said loudly: "My lords, you have good intentions. You are worried that the army will not have enough food and meat. In fact, Princess Ling is constantly sending people to deliver bacon, fruits and vegetables that are easy to store for the army. Now the temperature in Hexi is even worse. , the soil is dry and vegetables are very limited, Princess Ling is very thoughtful."

There is no falsehood in this statement.

After learning about the Xiongnu attack, Murong Jiu arranged for Chai Shopkeeper to purchase pork, mutton, chicken, duck, etc. There were many in the south, and they were killed and smoked locally before heading north.

The smoked products are put into the warehouse first, and then they are ordered to be transported to the border when the quantity is sufficient, so it is batch after batch.

The overseas caravan learned that Shopkeeper Chai needed bacon. After learning how to make bacon, some clever businessmen negotiated the price with Shopkeeper Chai. After returning home, they bought the meat at a low price and shipped it for sale. .

In some overseas countries, the temperature is very good all year round, the grassland is fertile, and many cattle and sheep are raised.

In Dayan, cattle were an important farming tool. The imperial court ordered that cattle should not be slaughtered. Cattle could only be slaughtered if they died of illness or old age.

But in other countries, cattle are a common meat.

Having said that, there is no need to worry about food for the army, and there will be no shortage of meat.

Hearing what Marquis Wu An said, the emperor nodded and said: "Princess Ling's move has indeed relieved my worries. Since there is still meat to eat in the future, there is nothing to blame."

Of course the emperor would be happy if there was no need to pay from the treasury.

Li Chenglian hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, General Fu and Prince Ling can only defend without attacking. It is not an option to waste them like this!"
