Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

Just after noon, Chen Daming arrived at the Qianshuo military camp with a few trusted men.

Qian Shuo became nervous when he saw people coming from the Dayong Dynasty.

Chen Daming led everyone to dismount, bowed, and handed over a visiting card.

"What do you mean by telling us that you, Dayong, want to train troops?"

The person who came to meet them was just a minor officer in the Qianshuo Army, whose rank was probably not even that of a captain.

After hearing what Xiao Jingyan asked Chen Daming to bring, the former official was very confused.

The people of Dayong can just train their troops, why do they come to inform Qianshuo specifically?

"Don't think too much. My prince means that we have to train at night and we don't want to disturb you."

"I hope you will forgive me if I have disturbed you."

After all, they were now on someone else's territory, and Chen Daming felt that he had to be polite.

He was afraid that if he displeased the former master, he would never come back.

From the moment he received this order, he thought that Xiao Jingyan might be deliberately trying to trip him up.

"Troop training?"

The young official spoke to his companion in the ancient language.

"Could it be that they are going to attack us and give us a heads-up in advance?"

"Hard to say!"

"Should I report this to the little prince?"

"Wait a minute, and try to figure out what he means."

Two or three people were talking back and forth, and Chen Daming almost didn't understand what they were saying.

As soldiers of the Xiao family army who have been dealing with various barbarian tribes for many years, they can simply understand some of the Qianshuo language, but the people in front of them are obviously preventing them from understanding when they speak, and they deliberately "encrypt" their words.

Chen Daming was also whispering with his men, wanting to ask if they could understand him.

But most of the soldiers he brought with him were as useless as he was.

After a long time, the former great master finally finished the discussion and turned to them politely:

"Your country is free to conduct military training whenever it wants. These matters do not require our consent."

After saying that, he smiled at Chen Daming with a friendly smile.

Chen Daming: ...

It's that simple?

Chen Daming, who hadn't reacted yet, was slightly stunned until the voice of the former Shuo Xiaoguan came to his ears again:

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

As he said this, he made a "please" gesture.

Chen Daming was eager to retreat, so he hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, and left in a hurry with his men.

Those former masters naturally would not turn a blind eye to this.

Soon, they told the news of this military training to their young prince Wanyan Longmu.

In a military camp that resembled a yurt, a young man with three small braids sat in the center, holding a palm-sized golden bowl filled with fragrant and hot milk tea.

"You said the Xiao family army will be training tonight?"

After hearing the reports from these minor officials, Wanyan Longmu was stunned for a few seconds, put down the small golden bowl, and asked seriously.

Training soldiers is a small thing that is done every day. Every military camp will carry out it, and their predecessors are no exception.

But if Dayong had to come and tell them specifically about such a small matter, then what Dayong wanted to do tonight could definitely not be as simple as training troops.

His intuition told him that he must be extra careful to prevent any problems before they occur.

"Send spies to the border of Dayong and report back at any time."

Wanyan Longmu hurriedly pointed at a few people and made arrangements.

"What about the military camp?"

The young official asked nervously.

Wanyan Longmu adjusted his mentality and said earnestly:

"You must especially protect our food supplies."

"This prince has long heard that the Xiao family army led by Prince Ding'an has long been cut off from food supplies by their emperor."

"Tell me, can people survive without food and horses without grass?"

As soon as he said this, a soldier beside him echoed: "No!"

"So, what does the Xiao family army need most now?" Wanyan Longmu asked again.

"Food!" everyone answered in unison.

Their questions and answers sounded like salespeople shouting.

However, it also made everyone in front of him understand.

They believed that Dayong wanted to use the excuse of military training to attack them at night and steal their food and supplies.

Therefore, the key right now is to protect the food and supplies.

Xiao family military camp.

In the afternoon, Zhiren and Zhimo returned from Lingyao City Market.

Lingyao City is very large, and the Xiao family army is stationed at the outermost edge of the entire city. The further inward you go, the more lively and prosperous it becomes, and the richer the residents are.

Seeing them coming back, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly closed the doors and windows of the room and asked:

"How's it going?"

Zhi Mo bowed and said, "To reply to Your Majesty, I have indeed gained something."

"I heard from the locals who live in the market that about seven days ago, several men and women with Beijing accents were selling some strange things here."

"They talked about instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, spicy noodles, and biscuits, but the people didn't understand what they were selling, and they didn't know what they were selling."

“But the things they sell are very expensive.”

"It is said that I stood at the market all afternoon and no one bought anything."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He knew that the people might not accept what Shi Xi had.

"and after?"

Xiao Jingyan asked hurriedly.

"In the afternoon, they left and went to the only auction house in the city to auction these things off."

"Some people even resorted to the most ruthless method, going door to door and selling their wares."

"I heard that they actually sold it and made a lot of money."

When Zhimo mentioned money, Xiao Jingyan became obviously more energetic.

"Some curious people followed them all the way and discovered where they lived."

"It's a house in the west of the city. It looks very grand."

"Two of my subordinates went in to take a look. There is only one mistress in the house, and those selling things are all servants in the house."

When Zhimo finished speaking, Zhiren also nodded in agreement.

"Send someone to watch over the house. Don't act rashly. Any disturbance inside or outside the house must be reported to me immediately."

After a brief mental analysis, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly gave the order.

He had no doubt that this woman and everyone in this house must be related to Chen Daming.

He dared to guarantee that in the Dayong Dynasty, in their world, he was the only person who could get food such as instant noodles, potato chips, and biscuits.

"Who was the person who led you to that house?"

Xiao Jingyan asked warily.

"He's a young man about your age. Judging from his attire, he looks like a scholar."

Zhiren answered directly.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a good young man in a remote place like Lingyao City!

"You should find a way to get him to come and testify, but he won't be needed for now. I have already ordered the mountain next to Qianshuo's camp to be blown up tonight."

There is a terrain sand table in Xiao Jingyan's room.

As he said this, he picked up a small flag and threw it lightly towards the sand table, and it happened to land on the mountain that was to be blown up tonight.

Although Zhiren and Zhimo were not in the camp last night, they also heard about Xiao Jingyan's recent plans.

The prince was kind and did not want the two countries to actually go to war, but he had to put on a show for the capital.

After the few people finished talking, the kitchen staff had already prepared tonight's meal.

Since Xiao Jingyan ordered that the mountain should be blasted after dark, everyone had to eat dinner an hour earlier today.

The food in the army includes vegetables, meat and white rice every meal.

The soldiers ate with relish, and in just half a month or so, everyone's mental and physical condition had completely transformed. "I'll be adding to the weekend update~ Woohoo! Tomorrow is Monday again, everyone, keep working hard!"
