The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

Chapter 97: Eating Moldy Rice on New Year's Day

"General, something bad happened in the barracks!"

"what!"

Xiao Chongjing frowned and immediately stood up and walked quickly to the door. Looking at the flustered servant kneeling in front of him, he was dissatisfied, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? What a mess!"

"General, it's military rations!"

The servant didn't care about being scolded and reported in a concise manner, "Many people have stomach problems from the new batch of military rations, and they are making a fuss..."

"Military rations?"

Perhaps because he was feeling guilty, Xiao Chongjing's heart immediately tightened when he heard these two words.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and prepare the horse!"

Xiao Chongjing said this and immediately set off, taking the servant with him, and quickly left Suifeng Garden.

After he left, Ruan Yunluo recalled Xiao Chongjing's abnormal behavior just now, and asked Nanny Wan to send a letter to Concubine Yi, asking her to pay attention to whether there was anything unusual with the Sixth Prince.

After all, murdering the prince is a serious crime that will implicate nine generations of the clan, and she doesn't want to be implicated in it without knowing it.

……

The military camp was noisy.

When Xiao Chongjing arrived at full speed, Lieutenant General Wang was guarding the camp gate with an anxious look on his face.

"General, you are finally here!"

Deputy General Wang was extremely anxious. He went straight to Xiao Chongjing without waiting for him to dismount. He led his horse while reporting the situation, "General, most of the people making trouble are veterans. The leader is a centurion named Xue Gan."

"Xue dares?"

Xiao Chongjing secretly memorized the name, quickened his pace, and quickly walked to the center of the commotion.

"what happened!"

Xiao Chongjing shouted loudly, and immediately stopped the soldiers from making noise.

He glanced around coldly, then his eyes fell fiercely on the veterans who were leading the riot. Then he asked loudly with a cold face, "What time is it now!"

"General, it is now the hour of Mao!" Vice General Wang immediately echoed the audience.

"Mao Shi?"

Xiao Chongjing nodded with a cold face.

His eyes fell on a determined centurion in front of him and asked, "Xue Gan, right? Let me ask you, what time is Mao Shi in the military camp?"

"General, it's time for training."

"Then why are you still standing here!"

Xiao Chongjing questioned angrily, "Did His Majesty keep you just to make you quarrel?"

"of course not!"

Xue Gan shook his head decisively, but immediately asked in a resounding voice: "But your majesty, do you know that the soldiers are eating moldy food?"

Without waiting for Xiao Chongjing's reaction, he immediately stepped forward and handed over the bowl in his hand, "General, take a look for yourself, is this food for human consumption? Since the brothers ate this, they have been having diarrhea all day and all night. Let alone fighting and training, if this continues, it's doubtful whether they can survive this New Year!"

"Yeah, it's Chinese New Year, how can you let us eat this!"

Soldiers in the crowd began to smash their bowls in agreement.

"okay!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Chongjing frowned and quickly stopped the soldiers from complaining.

He sighed, changed his tone to a serious one, and continued: "Brothers, I know you have worked hard, but there is no surplus food in the national treasury... As soldiers defending our country, at the critical moment, we cannot only consider ourselves, but also consider the difficulties above..."

"No matter how difficult the situation is, we can't let our brothers eat moldy food!" Someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

"That's right. We tied our heads to our belts and went to fight. We finally won the battle, but now we come back and we're not even given a fresh meal to eat!"

"It's Chinese New Year, and this is deliberately annoying!"

"I know..." Seeing the soldiers getting emotional, Xiao Chongjing quickly calmed down and comforted them more gently, "I know how hard and tired you brothers are, but..."

"what do you know!"

Someone in the crowd sneered, "We are both in this life and death situation, we are the cannon fodder in the front, and you are the commander in the back.

We both won a victory, but you are enjoying all the delicacies in the general's mansion, while we can't even afford a meal. What do you know?"

"I do not know how!"

Seeing someone pointing the finger at him, Xiao Chongjing frowned and snorted, "I also climbed up step by step from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I have suffered all kinds of hardships! You dare to eat rotten meat on the battlefield, but you dare not eat moldy food?

If you don’t eat it, I will!”

As Xiao Chongjing spoke, he snatched Xue Gan's bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After finishing his meal in a few mouthfuls, he threw the bowl and said loudly, "I, Xiao Chongjing, have always shared happiness and hardships. Since my brothers are suffering in the military camp, I, Xiao Chongjing, will never enjoy the happiness!

From today on, this general has decided not to leave the camp or return home, and will eat and live with all the brothers and celebrate the New Year together! "

"it is good!"

In the deep silence, a lone cheer came from the gate of the military camp.

Jun Yizhen clapped his hands and praised Xiao Chongjing, "General Xiao is indeed the descendant of a military general, he is so heroic!"

"Third Prince, why are you here?"

Xiao Chongjing looked at Jun Yizhen, startled, and hurried forward, wanting to kneel down and salute...

"no."

Jun Yizheng raised his right hand to exempt Xiao Chongjing from the salute, and also exempted the generals from the salute.

His eyes swept over the soldiers, and he smiled and said, "The New Year is coming in two days. Father is worried about the soldiers stationed here, so he sent me here to check on them. I want to ask if everyone slept well, if they are dressed warmly, and if they are full..."

Jun Yizhen paced and walked towards the soldiers while talking... At this time, he saw the food thrown on the ground...

"Why is this good food thrown everywhere?"

Jun Yizheng looked at everyone with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing that no one dared to say anything, he bent down, picked up the grains on the ground, and was about to put them into his mouth...

"Third Prince, no!"

Xiao Chongjing immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Third Prince, you are a prince, how can you eat anything you want?"

"fine."

Jun Yizheng smiled heartily and calmly put the grains into his mouth... Feeling the bitterness and moldy taste on the tip of his tongue, Jun Yizheng spat out the grains with a cold face.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Xiao Chongjing meaningfully, he asked with a smile, "General Xiao, why is the grain moldy?"

"This……"

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Chongjing's forehead.

He was about to find an excuse to explain, but at this moment, the Third Prince asked very considerately, "Is there a problem with the Ministry of Revenue? Has the grain money not been allocated?"

"This……"

Xiao Chongjing became even more nervous.

"What's this? Why are you hesitating? Are you worried that the Ministry of Revenue will cause trouble for you?"

In public, Jun Yizhen considerately blocked all of Xiao Chongjing's excuses, "General, don't worry. At worst, I can go with you. Let's go, for the sake of the soldiers, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the debt now..."

"No, no, don't be in a hurry!"

Xiao Chongjing hurriedly held Jun Yizhen back, and at the same time, he winked at Vice General Wang, "What are you standing there for? Tell me what's going on! Has the grain money been allocated?"

"Dial, dial it down..."
