Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

After a moment, Lu Jiusi turned around and sat down. His icy aura made people tremble. When he had a cold face and didn't speak, people always felt that he was about to start a massacre.

Yu Qingcang winked at Shang Ci, wanting him to break the deadlock, but it would be fine at other times, but now Lu Jiusi was furious, who would dare to offend him? The front hall was so quiet that it was frightening. Just when everyone felt they were about to suffocate, Lu Jiusi calmed down and spoke.

"The grain and grass issue is the Crown Prince's doing. Arrange for someone to attack the Crown Prince's forces in Shihan Mountain and destroy them all."

The prince was indeed ruthless in dealing with the food and fodder issue. Lu Jiusi had not wanted to disrupt Shi Hanshan's plan for the time being, but he was extremely upset tonight and wanted to destroy everything. Naturally, the prince would be the first to suffer.

"Your Highness, if this happens, the Crown Prince will become desperate and do something desperate. Will you not leave Shangjing? Otherwise, if he forces the emperor to abdicate, I'm afraid something bad will happen to the Emperor. The problem of food and fodder..."

"I'll leave right away. The food and supplies have been secured. Do as I say. The prince won't dare to act rashly."

"Solve it? Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Shang Ci thought that the food and fodder he had arranged had arrived, and he was relieved for a moment. While Lu Jiusi was talking to Shang Ci, he kept glancing at Shen Nanyue from the corner of his eyes. However, Shen Nanyue lowered her head, and he could not see her expression at all, which made Lu Jiusi even more unhappy.

After talking with Shang Ci and the others for a while, he sent them away. The front hall became quiet and neither of them spoke. After a long time, Lu Jiusi stood up and walked to Shen Nanyue. The moment Shen Nanyue looked up, all of Lu Jiusi's anger disappeared instantly.

"this is for you."

Lu Jiusi handed Shen Nanyan a golden nanmu box. The box alone was worth a lot of money, so Shen Nanyan did not reach out for it.

"what is this?"

“Little thing, you can’t be angry anymore after you accept it. Actually, that’s not what I meant.”

"Your Highness wants to bribe me?"

"It's not bribery, it's flattery, isn't that okay?"

Although he said flattering words, Lu Jiusi's tall and straight figure stood in front of Shen Nanyue, and his majesty was not diminished at all.

"I will provide the food and fodder to Your Highness. You don't have to do this."

"I...Okay, that's not what I'm talking about. I don't disbelieve your secret, nor do I disrespect it. I'm just curious and want to ask one more question. Can you please stop being angry?"

This was the first time that Lu Jiusi had begged someone in such a humbly manner. The secret guards hiding in the dark widened their eyes with a look of disbelief. Lu Jiusi, that was the emperor's most beloved son, the god of war of Nanling Kingdom, the man who might ascend to the throne in the future, the man that all the women in the capital flocked to. But he lowered his posture and begged a woman not to be angry. If this were to be told to others, who would believe it!

Lu Jiusi's sudden request for forgiveness confused Shen Nanyan, and she immediately reflected on whether she was being too pretentious.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? I don't want these things. Please don't scare me."

"I didn't scare you, I just didn't know how to calm you down."

"You're not scared yet, you're the Prince of Huai, how can you say such things to me? Who the hell am I? If the Emperor hears this, he'll chop off my head. I haven't lived enough."

"Then don't be angry. This is a white jade hairpin. It's not worth much. I just want to make you laugh."

Even the dignified Prince Huai has to be so humble, Shen Nanyan can't keep being pretentious. Of course, she also knows why Lu Jiusi is like this.

I have used a grenade on him and made him fly thousands of miles overnight. Even if he wants to kill me now, he can't bear to give up the benefits I can bring to him. What's more, I have also said that I will detoxify him. As long as the poison in his body is cured, it will be equivalent to helping him sit on the throne. With such a great temptation, let alone a hairpin, even the beads on the queen's phoenix crown that I want, Lu Jiusi is afraid he can give them to her.

"As for Wu You, Your Highness, please do not doubt her again. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will not use her to harm you."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?"

Shen Nanyue reached out and took the golden nanmu box from Lu Jiusi's hand, stood up and walked towards the door with a proud and complacent smile on her face. She once again felt the benefits that Wu You brought to her. As long as she was still useful to Lu Jiusi, it would not be a bad idea to show her temper to him.

Lu Jiusi behind him also suddenly brightened up, a smile spread across his stunningly handsome face, and even his steps to catch up with Shen Nanyue became light and joyful. In fact, he didn't know how to make a girl happy, he just remembered what Yu Qingcang had said in the past, and borrowed a few things from it, and luckily he succeeded.

When the two returned to the border again, it was already the time of Si on the second day. On the way, they stopped by Xuan Su Country to take a look. At this time, the unpleasantness between the two had disappeared. Shen Nanyan even took out a lot of things. The two had breakfast on the top of the mountain before riding back together. When Shen Nanyan was quietly nestled in Lu Jiusi's arms, Lu Jiusi could no longer suppress the smile on the corner of his lips.

Shen Nanyue did not return to Yongyang City. Lu Jiusi sent her directly to the granary and asked Captain Xu to prepare a tent for her alone, which was fully equipped with everything. He also asked everyone to keep it secret because Shen Nanyue did not want Shen Yunzhi to know that she had also come to the border.

Three days later, Shen Yunzhi was personally appointed by Lu Jiusi as the captain of a hundred households, leading a hundred men. He did nothing every day but practiced throwing stones. The soldiers were all confused, and Shen Yunzhi, who was also confused, had no choice but to find Lu Jiusi to ask.

"I can't tell you what it is right now, but remember this: whether we can win the next battle depends entirely on you."

Hearing Lu Jiusi say this, Shen Yunzhi's sense of mission instantly exploded.

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. We will definitely live up to your expectations."

In this way, under the strict supervision of Shen Yunzhi, his soldiers spent all their time throwing stones desperately except for sleeping. In less than seven days, some of them could practice throwing stones as well as archery, and they never missed the target.

Half a month later, Shen Nanyue gave Lu Jiusi several large boxes of grenades and asked Shen Yunzhi to take people to a canyon ten miles away for actual combat. When the first grenade was thrown out, everyone was stunned. The entire canyon was silent, and a moment later it was boiling again.

Compared to the high morale of the Xuansui Kingdom, Yue Hanzhou, who was far away at the border of Yujing Kingdom, was much more gloomy. This was because all the food reserves here had been taken away by Shen Zhaoyu several months ago. Now the soldiers were starving, and his men began to rob the people of their food. Therefore, not only did the situation at the border not change, but the people were even more miserable because of them.

Yue Hanzhou was defeated in several battles because the enemy knew about the battles in advance. That is to say, after he arrived at the border, not only did he fail to repel the enemy, he was afraid that he would lose another city.
