Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 167: Rat Infestation

In the past two years, the drawings of Tiangong Kaiwu that Ning Shujun obtained from Qingmu have brought convenience to Liyan's farming.

While Liuhuo and Changguo were fighting fiercely in the west, the territory of Liyan had already extended to the north and was growing quietly.

Most of the affairs of the court were handled by Mo Song, and some major events required Ning Shujun's review before a decision could be made.

There has been a headache recently. The grasslands in the north are often infested with rats and diseases. Since Li Yan got pregnant, she has sent people there. Unfortunately, Doctor Lian was infected with the disease, which has caused the rats to spread. If it is not dealt with soon, it will surely be a crisis for Li Yan herself.

"Rat Infestation" Ning Shujun closed the book. She didn't like rats and got creepy when she saw them. If it was just a normal rat infestation, Mo Song would have a way to deal with it, otherwise why would he mention it specifically? It must be the work of the rat demon.

She stood up and took a box from the shelf beside her. In the box lay a wooden hairpin made from a green tree branch.

I guess he knows something about this rat demon, so I can take this opportunity to ask him for some ways to get rid of it.

"Madam," there was a knock on the door from outside the house.

"Um"

"You've been stuck in the house all day, are you worried about something?"

Ning Shujun shrugged, "It was a monster that was bullying the herdsmen and biting many animals to death."

I asked Ziying to go out for training some time ago, and Muqing is staying in Liyan Imperial City, so I have to go there by myself now.

"You have to deal with it"

She held Murong Lian's hand and asked, "I wonder if my husband is willing to accompany me?"

Seeing that he just smiled but didn't say anything, she thought he had doubts. Ning Shujun's eyes were filled with sadness. "Can't you help me? Those rats eat meat. What should I do if I can't beat them?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears rolled down her eyes and Murong Lian reached out to catch them.

Murong Lian said jokingly: "It would be a pity to lose such a precious eyeball. Your husband will keep it for you."

"You are not Zhenzhu anymore. Are you going or not?" She stared at Murong Lian. "If you don't go, I will..."

"If you don't go, what will you do?"

"I've asked for the princess of that tribe for you. It seems that she will marry the entire tribe as a dowry. So, that tribe is mine." It's really great to get a piece of land so easily without spending any soldiers.

Ning Shujun had a smile on her face, but she didn't know that someone was displeased and was holding her sideways, with their foreheads pressed against each other and their hair entangled together.

"You want that piece of land? You can give me to someone else for it." Murong Lian was a little disappointed.

"My Li Yan now has a vast territory and abundant resources. This is just a barbaric land, but it has abundant supplies." But she knew what had happened to Murong Lian in the past five years. The princess saved him, fell in love with him, and followed him to Changguo. How could she not be suspicious of such affection?

Ning Shujun looked at him seriously and said, "She did this for you, do you think I wouldn't be suspicious?"

"I have never had any feelings for her, nor have I done anything excessive. I have already repaid her for saving my life." Murong Lian spoke word by word.

"Alas," Ning Shujun sighed, reaching out to touch his face, "Then I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

"You still don't believe it?"

"Of course I believe you." Since they planned to reconcile, she naturally believed you.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and Ning Shujun leaned over and kissed his forehead, "You are mine, marked." Then she went to the desk and wrote down her wish to conclude a marriage with Changguo and to establish friendly relations between the two countries.

After all, as a small tribe, Liyan Kingdom is a good choice. They had rejected the envoys from Chang Kingdom before. I believe they had encountered a major crisis at that time and urgently needed a good helper.

At first, he looked down on Liuhuo, and ended up being beaten back step by step. Later, he looked down on Liyan. Liyan's territory is now expanding rapidly and has long surpassed his Changguo. Changguo's Shen Chengjun played a good hand badly.

The king of Guoli is timid and afraid of trouble. He will take over whoever is stronger, so he naturally dare not fight against Liuhuo. Shen Chengjun must be so depressed that he can't sleep. I guess he would be happy if I help him at this time.

"Madam, what does this mean?" Murong Lian took the memorial from her hand, her eyes full of smiles, it seemed that she was still anxious.

Ning Shujun raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you don't want to?" She had offered ten cities with sincerity.

Murong Lian spoke frankly: "I really don't want my life to be controlled by others like this."

"Then I will invalidate this memorial." Ning Shujun reached out to take it.

"No"

Ning Shujun pretended to be angry, "Then what do you want? I was generous to you before but you didn't want it. Now I want to hire you as my consort, but you still don't want it. Could it be that you still have that peerless beauty in your heart? There must be something going on between you and her."

"How many times do you want me to explain? I, Murong Lian, swear to heaven that I have never coveted the princess. If I have any desire for her, I wish you the worst..."

Ning Shujun turned around and covered his mouth, "What are you talking about! Then why don't you want to!"

"You were willing to give the city to him, but he messed up our marriage."

Ning Shujun took the memorial and said helplessly, "What else can we do? If we don't take action, Shen Chengjun's imperial edict will come, and it will be difficult for everyone in Murong Mansion."

But she would not give it to Shen Chengjun so easily, and she would take it back in the future.

"What's the matter, are you willing or not? If you still don't want to..." Ning Shujun rolled her eyes, "Then I'll have to order a certain handsome man to do it." She said with a look of regret, and raised her hand to lift Murong Lian's chin.

I have already made the wish.

They planned to go to the grassland to eliminate the rat infestation, and wanted Mei Zi to go back to Liyan Imperial Capital with Chen Er, where there would be a master to teach Chen Er. Mei Nianqing was reluctant to leave, and she wanted to stay in Baishizhou for a while longer.

Chen'er held Ning Shujun's hand, his voice a little hoarse: "Mother, you are leaving again. You don't want Chen'er and you drive Chen'er away. Chen'er won't go there. Godmother will not abandon me."

"I'll go." Knowing that she was reluctant to leave, Murong Lian went to find Chen'er.

He came back in the evening.

"How is it?" I didn't hold the child during the day because I was afraid that I would feel soft-hearted and feel sorry for Chen'er.

Murong Lian comforted her: "It's all right now. I told him that he is still young now. When he has mastered his kung fu and can stand on his own, you can take her out."

"What happened next?" Ning Shujun's eyes became moist.

"Look at you." Murong Lian took her handkerchief and wiped her tears. "He also has the same tendency to cry as you do."

"Can't you say something nice?"

"That sounds good." Murong thought for a moment, "If Chen'er is lonely, we can give her a sister."

Ning Shujun glared at him and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly."

But she was embarrassed to say that Chen'er had asked her how he came about before, and Ning Shujun had handed him a bird's egg, saying that it was hatched, and Chen'er actually believed it.

He must have forgotten, he should have forgotten. Anyway, the egg belonged to a white crane and it couldn't be hatched in a short time.

But they never expected that Chen'er would sneak into their house in the middle of the night.

At this time, the two were studying the rat infestation. The grassland was vast, and the rats were active frequently and spread widely. How could they be completely hunted and killed?

"There is a magic that can lure them to gather together and then attack them with fire."

Murong Lian said, "Didn't you say before that it was a rat demon that was causing trouble? There must be a rat king. We should catch the king first."

"There are so many rats, how do you know which one is the rat king?"

The two of them stared at the door that was pushed open, and a small figure appeared, looking sneaky, as if he was going to do something bad. Chen'er wrapped something in a cloth, and he carefully placed the item on the bed and was about to go out.

"Wait a minute." Ning Shujun stood behind him and watched for a long time.

Murong Lian picked up the item on the bed, not understanding why, "An...egg"

"Didn't mother say that this is my little sister and I can't hatch it? Godmother said that my little sister needs you and father to work hard together."

"Hahahaha, who told you this?" Murong Lian asked.

"My mother said that I crawled out of the egg this way, too."

The little brat's actions left her at a loss as to what to do.

"Jun'er, that's what you told him."

Ning Shujun's head was about to explode, and she pushed both the father and son out.
