Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

It's like a line that connects all the points in the past.

Zhou Lingling reacted suddenly.

"Are you the Ninth Prince of Northern Frontier who murdered countless people and acted so recklessly?"

Xiao Yan: “…” What?

When did he start killing people like crazy?

outrageous.

Young Master Xiao Jiu, who was recuperating in his own home, turned out to be the ninth prince of the current dynasty.

Zhou Lingling seemed to be thinking about something. "So the person you promised to give me before has some skills, but he is old and has injuries on his body. Is he..."

"They are soldiers of the Northern Army."

Xiao Yan said calmly, "They are all people who were injured on the battlefield, are old, and have no place to go."

"Most of them are unwilling to leave the Northern Frontier, content to stay in the army as logistics personnel. Over the years, the imperial court has never given the Northern Army a penny or a grain of rice. They rely entirely on cultivating farmland on the border to barely feed the Northern Army. On weekdays, they always save their rations for the younger soldiers, and even yearn to return to the battlefield and shed their blood..."

Having said that, Xiao Yan suddenly smiled.

That smile was a bit cold, a bit sarcastic, but also a bit helpless.

But they have already... dedicated their entire lives to the Northern Frontier and the people.

Everyone who is still alive now has fought desperately to escape from the sea of ​​blood. Their companions and brothers have long since fallen outside the pass.

Buried in a handful of earth, no one remembers him except these former comrades.

Zhou Lingling was stung by the smile on Xiao Yan's face.

So what Dr. White said is true...

The son of a wealthy family was exiled to a desolate place by his father after his mother died, and his father never cared about him again.

"For years, rumors have been circulating throughout the Yuan Dynasty that the Ninth Prince of Northern Frontier has established his own army and is disrespectful to the imperial court..."

Having said that, Zhou Lingling herself laughed.

She only believed what she saw.

Would a prince who has killed countless people and has his own army travel thousands of miles and risk his life to come to the southern region from the northern border to rob?

No, it's robbing the rich to help the poor.

It is hard to imagine that the northern border is a barren land, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians guarding the northern barrier of the Yuan Dynasty.

Especially when the imperial court turned a blind eye and never provided any silver or food.

Xiao Yan was exiled to the Northern Frontier for ten years. During these ten years, how did he subdue the Northern Army and use them for his own purposes?

How did they go to great lengths to feed these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians?

The dynasty that he defended with his flesh and blood time and again was met with disappointment again and again...

"They are heroes and they shouldn't be treated like this."

"You too."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy drum.

hero?

Is he?

During those two years when he was struggling to survive in the northern border, he had forgotten that he still had the blood of the royal Xiao family flowing in his veins.

Guarding the Yuan Dynasty?

No.

He just didn't want to be bullied or killed by the enemy, so he had to pick up a knife and fight desperately.

He has to be more ruthless than his enemies and more fearless of death in order to survive.

Later, I don’t know when it started, but a bunch of followers followed him and wanted him to be their general.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the self-mockery in his eyes.

"They are just a bunch of fools who can't even get enough to eat."

He also kept shouting that he would beat those raw meat-eating and blood-drinking beasts so that they would never dare to set foot in the Yuan Dynasty again.

Zhou Lingling smiled slightly. She knew that this person was just saying one thing and thinking another.

Then, she secretly made the next decision in her heart.

These people should not be treated poorly at any time.

God has given her space and huge wealth from another world. She must do something to be worthy of this chance to start over.

So she said, "Implementing the military settlement system on the border is a wise decision, but the land in the northern border is barren. The crops currently grown in the Yuan Dynasty would have a hard time surviving there. Even if they could, their yields would likely be low."

Having said that, Zhou Lingling looked at Xiao Yan with some suspicion.

"So, you haven't been taking your people everywhere for so many years...robbing the rich and giving to the poor, right?"

Xiao Yan: “…” Nonsense.

“We have only been looking for food from outside in the past two years.”

Although there was a shortage of food and grass in the northern border in previous years, they found a valley where they could grow crops and rely on the mountains for their livelihood. The Northern Army was united and could barely survive by tightening their belts.

But since last year, the only remaining fertile land in the northern border has only seen a few rains.

The poor harvest made the already poor northern Xinjiang even worse off.

That's why he turned his attention to the rich southern region.

He didn't expect that even though he had left that place for ten years, there were still people eyeing him and wanting to kill him.

The Northern Army was not originally called the Northern Army, but was just a group of scattered border troops.

In fact, he was not exiled to the Northern Frontier. His Majesty had issued an edict stating that the Northern Frontier would be the fiefdom of the Ninth Prince from now on.

All the people within the territory were his subjects, and the imperial court no longer levied taxes, but it also no longer provided food and fodder to the nearly 100,000 border troops guarding the northern border.

But if they let the northern barbarians set foot in the Yuan Dynasty, these border troops would be charged with treason and their entire clans would be punished.

One hundred thousand border troops have nowhere to retreat.

And he has no way out.

He was only eleven or twelve years old at the time. After his mother passed away, he had no retainers around him except a eunuch who had been with him since childhood.

Even reaching the northern border was a journey of untold hardships and dangers, and the only eunuch who accompanied him also died on the way to the northern border while protecting him.

When he finally arrived in the northern border, he was met with retaliation from border troops and local forces.

Because of him, the northern border became a place of exile.

It took him two years to successfully recruit a group of people and reunite the scattered border troops.

Then, the famous Northern Army of today was created.

Not only did it terrify the northern barbarians, but it also made the imperial court wary.

The third brother made several moves, hoping to kill him and take over the Northern Army.

He lured the enemy with his own body, and unfortunately he was seriously injured, but fortunately...

He was rescued by the little girl.

To be honest, he should thank the third brother. If it weren't for him, how could he meet the old dean who had been missing for many years, and how could he have encountered this great opportunity.

Zhou Lingling patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, you will definitely ensure that all the soldiers of the Northern Army have enough food and clothing in the future!"

"I agree to your request. As long as this batch of grain can be harvested successfully, you can take half of it back to Northern Xinjiang."

"When your people come, I will also teach you how to grow seedlings and plant these three crops."

Zhou Lingling's eyes rolled as she spoke, and she lowered her voice, "If you go robbing the rich to help the poor again next time, take me with you. I guarantee you won't lose out."

She is here!

Whether it’s growing high-yield crops or robbing the rich to help the poor, she’s super capable!

Xiao Yan smiled.

He laughed happier than any other time he had ever laughed before.

"Take you with you? How many bags of food can you carry?"

As he spoke, he deliberately looked up and down at her thin arms and legs.

Zhou Lingling: ...Don't look down on others.

I'm very good at pretending!

She rolled her eyes and didn't explain. One day she was going to make this kid's jaw drop!
