Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married
Chapter 23 Tooth for Tooth
Not even from the same world.
Just like his mother, his mother's ideas are different from others, and she can always make some strange things, but because she is different.
So this world has no room for her.
Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun and the look in his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
This was the scene that Zhai Yun saw when she turned around. Feng Chenyi was standing there, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. There was sadness, worry and fear in his eyes.
He saw Zhai Yun looking at her, and in the blink of an eye all the emotions disappeared, turning into only one sentence: "You did it."
Zhai Yun looked at him with a smile, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
She really did it.
Zhai Yun was originally worried about how she and Feng Chenyi would escape unscathed if she failed, but she didn't expect that she would actually succeed.
Zhai Yun discovered a new skill and was so excited that she forgot to ask Feng Chenyi what he was thinking just now.
I just thought that Feng Chenyi was just like me, feeling conflicted and afraid of failure.
All the wild beasts retreated, and peace returned to the small forest.
Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi came to the edge of the pond, looking at the bottomless pool, wondering how much water was in the pool and whether it was really inexhaustible.
Zhai Yun had just taken a step forward when Feng Chenyi pulled her back. "Just let them come. You're not a good swimmer. The water at the bottom of the pond is very cold, so it's not going to be easy to recover."
Zhai Yun thought about it and realized that her breath-holding skills might be exhausted before she even found the bottom of the water.
The water in the pond here is very clear, and there are many beautiful stones around the pond. Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi sat on the stones and waited.
After waiting for more than an hour, I heard the sound of orderly footsteps.
Qi Nuo was always one step ahead of them. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Feng Chenyi and saluted Feng Chenyi: "Your Majesty, the army needs General Shi to be in charge. General Shi is not here, and he said that everything will be decided by you."
The friction sound of weapons became clearer and clearer. The person coming was General Shi's deputy general, whose surname was Li and name was Cheng.
Zhai Yun immediately saw the two soldiers running in front of him, Dafu and Lian Gui. When they saw Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi standing together, they were shocked at first, and then showed disdainful eyes.
Lieutenant General Li Cheng walked up to Feng Chenyi and just gave a perfunctory salute. In the eyes of Lieutenant General Li Cheng, Feng Chenyi was just from a better family, not favored in the military camp and had no real position.
So he was dissatisfied with Feng Chenyi from the bottom of his heart.
When Feng Chenyi saw that the person coming was Li Cheng, his face became a little colder, as if his whole body was covered with frost, making people retreat.
"I heard that the prince took the liberty of letting these beasts go. These beasts wantonly hurt the villagers. It's really abominable. If the prince lets them go like this, who knows how many more people will suffer."
"Your Highness has lived a life of luxury since childhood, so of course he doesn't understand these things." The rich man behind Lieutenant General Li echoed.
Just as Zhai Yun was about to step forward to defend Feng Chenyi, Qi Nuo spoke first, "General Shi only ordered you to assist the prince. You have no right to question his decision."
As soon as Qi Nuo said this, Lieutenant General Li's face flushed red. It was bad enough that he was suppressed by General Shi in the military camp on normal days, but now an unpopular prince with no official position could suppress him.
He really lost face in front of his brothers.
Lian Gui saw his general’s face flushed, and thought that if he stood up for the general at this moment, he would definitely gain the general’s favor.
He raised his voice to build up his courage: "He is just an unpopular prince, but he came to the Northland and showed off his status."
Dafu was not to be outdone: "Yes! You have to know that our General Li's current fame is due to his hard work on the battlefield. Even the bandits in the Thirteen Villages in the desert know the name of General Li Cheng."
When Lieutenant General Li heard that his men were standing up for him, a smile spread across his face, and he looked at Dafu and Liangui with admiration.
Feng Chenyi curled the corners of his mouth in a cold expression, disdaining to explain.
Seeing Feng Chenyi being criticized, Zhai Yun was furious. "Lieutenant General Li is already in his forties. He's been in the military for so many years, and he's only a lieutenant general. He still has the nerve to show off. And showing off to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is even more..."
Zhai Yun clicked her tongue twice, her eyes swept across Dafu and Lian Gui, and then across all the soldiers present, “Look at everyone present here, which one of you is not older than Feng Chenyi, and you are quite a bit older!
So, let me ask you, who among you can defeat the prince?"
Zhai Yun looked at Lieutenant General Li and pouted her lips arrogantly: "If Prince Rui had been around at that time, there would probably be no place for you, Lieutenant General Li!"
The expression on Lieutenant General Li's face could no longer be maintained, as if he had been struck by lightning. His smug look first froze, then turned red and purple.
He stared at Zhai Yun with resentment, his eyeballs seemed to be popping out, and his chest was heaving violently, "You...you..."
He was illiterate and didn't speak in a roundabout way. But when he was provoked by Zhai Yun, he couldn't find any words to refute her and was so angry that his breath was stuck in his chest.
"General, General." Dafu and Liangui hurriedly caught the falling Lieutenant General Li.
Lieutenant General Li pointed at Zhai Yun with trembling hands. Knowing he was in the wrong, he could not utter a word and fainted from anger amid the support of the soldiers.
Zhai Yun looked at Lieutenant General Li, who had just looked smug but now looked fainted from anger, and burst into laughter, "Haha~"
Dafu and Liangui looked very unhappy when they saw Zhai Yun's smug look. Lieutenant General Li had fainted. Without anyone to support them, they dared not speak out.
In the past, when they gossiped about each other behind her back, Zhai Yun pretended not to hear. Now they were openly helping Lieutenant General Li to insult Feng Chenyi, so Zhai Yun could be considered to have taken revenge.
Lieutenant General Li was carried away.
The man who originally wanted to show off his power to Feng Chenyi was now carried away and disappeared from Feng Chenyi's sight. Even the soldiers who came with him were embarrassed.
Fortunately, among these people there are still some of General Shi’s confidants who obey Feng Chenyi’s orders.
For convenience, Feng Chenyi ordered to set up camp on the spot and sent several people to check the situation underwater.
Feng Chenyi was holding the new version of the map he had just obtained. On the old version of the map, there were more than ten villages in the Northern Wilderness, but on the new version of the map, there were only three villages.
The new map also shows the number of people still living in the village.
Feng Chenyi discussed the construction of the ditch with the confidant sent by General Shi.
"Your Highness, we only have enough resources to build a ten-kilometer canal. If, as you suggest, we also want to branch the canal to these three villages, I'm afraid we'll have to apply for money from the court."
Qi Nuo, who was standing aside, looked at the soldier who was talking to Feng Chenyi and said, "Ever since the prince came to Fengling City, even the military funds have been very tight. We have applied for funds several times, but have never received any.
