I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

Chapter 52 Cannon Fodder Princess vs Handsome Young General 07

A few days later, the emperor found an excuse and scolded the third prince in the hall.

Lin Huaicong's wife also suddenly fell ill and passed away, leaving behind their two-year-old daughter.

"Isn't it a bit cruel to use Shen Qin?"

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with Yueying killing Shen Qin for what she did to the original owner, but in the current situation, outsiders knew that Shen Qin had harmed Yueying for a short time, and it was not that tragic, so she suddenly remembered to ask.

"You spent two years in the Lin residence. You were forced to kneel until you fainted. You were splashed with cold water in winter. You were almost dying of illness but no doctor was given to you. You were also given sterilizing soup! Even if that vicious woman died a hundred times, it would not relieve my hatred. If the prince had not wanted to use Lin Huaicong, I would not have let his vicious mother go either."

Listening to Rong Sheng'an's words, Yueying suddenly recalled the original owner's memory, in which she was tortured almost every day for more than two years.

If I hadn't come here, the original owner would have drunk the sterilizing soup and gotten sick, but he would have survived. However, his body has been too weak since then. However, the suffering he endured did not decrease, and his body was eaten away bit by bit until he died.

"Wait, brother wants to use Lin Huaicong?"

Yueying caught the thought that flashed through his mind and exclaimed in surprise.

"This time the Third Prince wants to plot against you. Lin Huai came here overnight to discuss countermeasures with me."

Rong Shengan nodded and told Yueying the truth.

"He thinks I've won you over to give the Crown Prince military power, and thinks the Third Prince might not be able to defeat him?"

Yueying was a little suspicious. Could it be that Lin Huacong had deviated so much that he directly changed camps?

"Lin Huaicong said that he is blind and unworthy of you. Although it was me who suggested using Shen Qin, he did not object. I guess he checked his backyard."

After hearing what Rong Shengan said, Yueying felt that Lin Huaicong was really cruel. When he liked someone, he loved her without caring about anything, and when he hated someone, he abandoned her without mercy.

Just like Xiao P said, if he hadn't been written to seem like he actually loved and felt sorry for the princess in order to give the heroine another male supporting role, he would have been the most cruel person in the Lin Mansion.

"Second Young Master, Minister Lin is here."

"Speak of the devil and he will appear. Do you need me to step aside for a moment?"

Yueying felt that she was not ready to meet Lin Huacong at this moment.

"What Cao Cao?"

"Nothing, just a folk proverb."

I forgot that this is an imaginary world, Yueying thought. It would be troublesome to explain it.

"See Your Highness the Princess."

But as he was speaking, Lin Huaicong had already walked in. Seeing Yueying, he immediately bowed and greeted her.

"no."

"General."

"You said yesterday that there was something wrong with those bandits."

"The general should have sent people to investigate. Those are not bandits, but actually..."

Lin Huaicong looked at Yueying hesitantly, then continued.

"The princess once saved tens of thousands of disaster victims. At that time, the epidemic was serious and these people were supposed to be rounded up and burned to death. It was the princess who saved them. But later, the third prince made some moves in returning home and selected about 20,000 available laborers among them and made them his private soldiers in Feiliu Mountain."

Didn't Xiao P say that he had become a bandit? It turned out to be a cover. Thinking that Xiao P didn't have more accurate information, Yueying despised the system in her heart again.

But we still have to ask what we should ask now.

"So you already knew what I've been doing all these years?"

"No, only I know about this. I haven't mentioned it to the Third Prince."

Lin Huaicong explained anxiously, as if he was afraid that Yueying would have some misunderstanding about him.

"Since they are being raised as private soldiers, our previous strategy of recruiting them is no longer appropriate."

Rong Sheng'an couldn't stand Lin Huacong's flattering look towards Yueying, so he quickly changed the subject.

"These private soldiers are not so indestructible. Most of them were captured by force. Since they were not voluntary, they are easy to defeat."

Lin Huaicong denied Rong Shengan's words, which made Rong Shengan very unhappy.

"Do you have a good idea?"

"I dare to ask the princess to go and appease them in person."

Lin Huaicong stood up and bowed again. Yueying saw how serious this male supporting role was. Rong Shengan frowned and wanted to hear what Lin Huaicong would say next.

"First, the army surrounded the mountain and cut off their food supplies. They basically buy food once every half a month in the mountain. There are only two roads leading up and down the mountain, so they are easy to control. Then, the Divine Doctor and the Little Divine Doctor came forward to recruit them. Most of these people respect the princess. In this way, there is no need to lose troops and start a war."

It has been some time since Rong Sheng'an sent out spies, but the other party was really on guard and no one has succeeded in entering the "village" so far. Now Lin Huacong's suggestion of defeating the enemy without fighting is naturally the best.

"Minister Lin has truly severed ties with His Majesty the Third Prince by doing this. Have you ever thought that people who betray their master usually don't have a good ending?"

Yueying asked his question directly without any hesitation.

"It is important to bring honor to the family, but one must also behave properly so that after death one can face the ancestors with dignity. Following a master who always does petty thefts is truly a disgrace to the ancestors. I am now pulling back from the brink of death and turning to the light."

Well, now his image as a clean official has been established, and he can even say that betraying his master is righteous. In the original text, apart from other things, they did a lot of things to use the princess to frame the prince's party.

But Yueying just smiled in her heart and didn't embarrass him anymore. She turned sideways and smiled at Rong Shengan.

"I think Minister Lin's method should be feasible. I will talk to Master and go there in a few days."

"Okay, I'll stay with you."

Rong Sheng'an took Yueying's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.

"it is good."

The two were talking about the important matter of surrender, but it seemed that the affection in their eyes was frayed, which was really enough to make others vomit.

"I am resigning."

Lin Huaicong watched the two people interacting as if no one was around, and the sour feeling in his heart seemed to be about to overflow, so he hurriedly took his leave.

After Lin Huacong left, Rong Shengan looked like he was ready to bring charges against him.

"Then Xiaoying'er, oh, no, little genius doctor. Now, shouldn't you explain to me why you brought the Qingxin Pill to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"You've already said it, a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor, what's so strange about carrying some bottles and jars with you?"

"I didn't know you had such a hard time during these years at the border."

Thinking of this, Rong Sheng'an's heart ached so much that he even regretted his decision to go to the border. If he had stayed in the capital, he would have discovered early on that the Lin family was abusing the princess and would have taken her away.

Yueying was still reacting to the male protagonist's sudden words of heartache when Rong Shengan pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"The Lin family went too far and forced Ying'er to learn medicine to save herself. This account will have to be settled one day."

Uh, Yueying understood this time. The male protagonist was extending his thoughts on studying medicine to the backyard of the Lin Mansion.

"Okay, okay, Shen Qin has already paid the price. As for Madam Lin, it's funny to say that she dared to force a princess of a country to death, but on the day I left, she killed an old lady with her own hands and became hysterical."

As she spoke, Yueying sat in Rong Shengan's arms, pulled out her arm, and gently stroked his back.

"Lin Huaicong is a man of great talent. Instead of punishing him, it would be better to let my brother use him to death and squeeze out his talent."

In order to highlight the heroine's status as the center of attention, I also wrote that Lin Huaicong became the new generation of prime minister.

"I just think it's a bit cheap for him."

According to the map given by Lin Huaicong, Rong Sheng'an sent troops to block the mountain road the next day. Sure enough, a small team appeared a few days later, trying to break through and attack. However, the hidden stronghold on the mountainside was guarded by soldiers. When the leader in the mountain heard the report, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that there must be a thief.

All the carrier pigeons released were intercepted and no message could be transmitted.

That day, the leader called a few subordinates.

"It doesn't matter who the thief is now. We can't break out, and there is no reply from His Highness. I'm afraid we can only surrender."

After saying that, the leader looked around at several close subordinates, but did not find anyone unusual.

"General Qin, we will follow your orders."

Someone said so, and the others also expressed their willingness to follow the leader.

"Okay, then we'll fight our way out in two days."

"I will follow you till death, General."

After bowing, several people left.

"Put these poisons in the food. I would rather die than expose the Third Prince."

The leader named General Qin took out a packet of medicine powder and handed it to a subordinate who was in charge of logistics.

"Not good, host."

Yueying was helping her master prepare medicine in the thatched cottage when she heard Xiao P's anxious voice.

"what happened?"

"That General Qin is simply not a human being. He actually poisoned the army's food."

"Which General Qin? Is Rong Shengan okay?"

Yueying was shocked when she heard this, and her first reaction was that there was a spy in Rong Shengan's army.

"He is the general of the private soldiers you want to recruit. He plans to poison those tens of thousands of private soldiers."

"Where did he get so much poison? Did he plan to kill everyone in advance?"

Those who talk about the effect without mentioning the dosage are all hooligans. The dosage of medicine to poison tens of thousands of people must have been prepared long ago. Yueying suddenly realized that these people really regarded human lives as worthless.

"Does this matter to the host? It would be bad if you don't die but become disabled."

Little P felt desperate as if he and the host were not on the same path, and he couldn't understand what was going on in the host's mind.

"you're right."

Yueying lifted her skirt and walked out.

"Yingyi, quickly inform Rong Shengan to bring some elite soldiers to Feiliu Mountain right now."

Pulling the horse from the stable, Yueying climbed on top, following Xiao P's instructions, and rode away.

After galloping for who knows how long, they finally arrived at the camp at the foot of the mountain. When they dismounted, Yueying's legs were shaking so much that they didn't feel like their own legs.

It seemed like it had been running for about an hour and a half, almost two or three hours.

"Who are you? Go away, go away. The Rong family army is on official business here. Please take a detour."

The guards on the roadside raised their swords and tried to drive away the newcomers. Yueying was too tired to talk any more and didn't want to waste any more words, so she took out her princess badge.

"I am the Sixth Princess of Daning, and I need to talk to Li Yuan about something."

The guard at the door saw the princess's badge, and although he didn't recognize her, he knew that Captain Li was in the tent. If the other party was fake, she would be exposed immediately, so there was no doubt that she was the real princess.

"Greetings Princess Chitose."

As she spoke, she knelt down, and the people around her followed suit to pay their respects to the princess.

"Don't waste time, I'm looking for Li Yuan."

Yueying didn't have time for these formalities. She signaled the guard to stand up and take her directly to the tent.

"Sir, the Sixth Princess is here."

Li Yuan was reading a military book when he heard this and quickly got up and left.

"Princess."

Li Yuan and Yueying had a close relationship, and Yueying had always asked him to simplify his etiquette, so he just bowed as a greeting.

"Li Yuan, I was fiddling with herbs this morning, and suddenly I remembered that someone bought a large bag of poison from me a few months ago. I wonder if there has been any activity on the mountain in the past few days. I had a bad feeling, so I hurried here."

"The princess means that they will..."

"Yes, take a group of elite soldiers to Dagu Mountain first, and the others will follow."

"Princess, this is different from the plan we agreed on, and the general is not here..."

"The generals are not subject to military orders when they are away from home. Should I be the one to recruit them?"

"Yes."

"Then listen to me now."

Because Yueying was not in good physical condition, she had to find a pole to drag the chair, and was barely carried up the mountain by a strong soldier.

Seeing the sun setting, Yueying became extremely anxious. Although the soldiers were fast, they still hadn't walked for half an hour.

"I feel like a burden, so embarrassed. Xiao P, take a look, have they had dinner yet?"

"No, I'm still cooking."

There is still time. Yueying was afraid that she didn't have enough medicine on hand. If they had already taken it, a large number of people would be poisoned and it would be too late to save them.

Seeing that they had reached the entrance of the mountain stronghold, Yueying had lost all her dignity as a royal princess due to the bumpy ride. She jumped off her chair and ordered people to put up two big drums.

"You two, follow my rhythm. Knock eight times. Then watch my gestures and knock eight more times."

As he spoke, he picked up the drumsticks and began to demonstrate.

As the sound of drums was heard from the village, people patrolling the camp gathered at the gate of the village. The soldiers training inside also stopped, thinking that an attack was coming from the bottom of the mountain, and they prepared for battle.

"stop."

Yueying saw people gathering in the distance and guessed that the main force would be arriving soon.

"I am the sixth princess of the present age. I once worshipped the great doctor Mo Lao as my teacher and was fortunate enough to gain the reputation of 'little great doctor'. I heard that most of you are victims of the disaster that happened in your hometown a few years ago and were forcibly conscripted here..."

"Don't listen to this witch's nonsense. She is here to kill you all."

The man in armor in the attic spoke.

"You are General Qin, right? I hurried here today because someone told me that you ordered someone to buy a large bag of poison and planned to poison all the brothers in the village tonight."

"You are talking nonsense! You are slandering me!"

"Brothers, go to the kitchen and search it, and you will know if what I said is true. If the food is already prepared, you can also use a silver needle to test whether the food is poisonous."

"Ying'er."

Just as he was confronting General Qin, Rong Shengan rushed to Yueying's side.

"Can you shoot this Qin guy to death? He's an eyesore."

"No need to leave him alive? If he dies, the Third Prince will be free from guilt."

"What else is there beside him? Whether he is guilty or not, he can't get up, but now this Qin guy is delaying things."
