Chapter 115 As a citizen of Beiming, I can only obey the arrangements of my leader
Shen Ruolan said: "General Qin can eat more if he likes."
On the other side, Li Heng looked at the meat in his bowl and said to his master who had just woken up with a troubled look on his face: "Master, how about I give you less of this meat?"
Mu Jinxuan looked at his subordinates and asked, "Why, Shen Ruolan didn't leave any food for me?"
Li Heng looked at the other bowl of wild vegetable porridge and said, "It's not that I didn't leave some for you. She said you can only drink lighter porridge and not eat any meat."
Li Heng's words made Mu Jinxuan silent for a moment, and he said to him expressionlessly: "Since you can't eat it, then don't eat it."
After saying this, he said to his subordinates, "Bring the porridge over."
"Yes," Li Heng said, and served the porridge to his master.
Li Heng felt sorry for his master. He had worked so hard to kill the wild boar, but Shen Ruolan couldn't even drink a sip of the soup. This was really too much.
While eating, Li Heng told him everything that happened in the village today. After he finished speaking, he looked up and asked his master: "Master, do you think Bei Ming and Xia Kingdom will fight?"
Mu Jinxuan thought for a moment and said, "If Shen Ruolan hadn't intervened, Xia Guo's evil plan would have probably been realized. But now, I don't know who will eat whom."
Although Shen Ruolan was going to settle down in the lawless area, her heart was thinking of Bei Ming. Therefore, Xia Hongmiao's plan today was doomed to be in vain and he would have to pay a heavy price.
After all, when that woman holds a grudge, her methods are hundreds of times more ruthless than those of robbers and bandits.
Speaking of who eats whom, Li Heng remembered Shen Ruolan's request just now. He hesitated for a moment and told his master the truth: "Master, just now, we owed Miss Shen another 300,000 kilograms of food."
After Li Heng finished speaking, he saw that his master looked unhappy, so he quickly explained to him: "Your situation was very critical just now, and Miss Shen would not give up until she achieved her goal, so I had no choice but to bow my head and agree."
Mu Jinxuan rubbed his aching temple and said, "This woman must be the reincarnation of a starving ghost. She spends all day either robbing food or preparing to plant food."
Li Heng agreed and said, "That's right. I've never seen a woman as obsessed with money as she is."
Mu Jinxuan handed the finished bowl to his subordinate and said, "Okay, since you've agreed, go and prepare it. Don't let her find another excuse to cheat me."
To be honest, compared with Xia Hongmiao's five million kilograms of grain, his few hundred thousand kilograms were nothing.
"Yes, master." Although Li Heng felt sorry for the food, it was nothing compared to his master's health. Especially compared to Xia Hongmiao, Shen Ruolan had been very kind to them.
At Shen Ruolan's house, after the villagers had finished their meal, they couldn't help but ask Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, when will our Third Prince's illness be cured?"
When Shen Ruolan heard everyone mention Xia Hongmiao's condition again, she looked at everyone, sighed, and said with embarrassment: "Brothers, I have carefully examined your third prince's condition."
"Then how to treat it?" When the villagers heard that Shen Ruolan had found out the cause of the disease, they couldn't wait to ask her.
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "Brothers, we live on the same river bank. Although we are from two different countries, we have always loved peace and regard you as relatives and friends. If there is a profitable business, we in Beiming will not leave you behind. We are all in a state of sharing the happiness, but your third prince..."
When Shen Ruolan said this, she stopped talking with a look of disappointment on her face.
Although the villagers knew their prince's plan, they pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Miss Shen, what happened to our third prince?"
Shen Ruolan said to Qin Zhen beside her: "General Qin, please tell everyone."
Qin Zhen nodded to Shen Ruolan, looked at the villagers and said truthfully: "Your Third Prince took a fake death drug to duel with me today, intending for me to accidentally "kill" him, and then let your Xia Kingdom send troops to attack Bei Ming with justification."
After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he paused and continued to the villagers: "It is no secret that our Beiming has been suffering from drought for three consecutive years. It is normal for the ruler of your Xia country to have improper thoughts about our Beiming at this time. If you want to send troops, just do it openly. Although our Beiming is in trouble, we will fight against the enemy with our troops and cover the water with earth."
When Qin Zhen said this, his momentum suddenly changed, and he said sternly to several villagers: "But your Third Prince's despicable behavior is really shameful. Now he wants me, the people of Beiming, to treat him. Please show enough sincerity. Otherwise, you should let me send him to the capital of Beiming and hand him over to our emperor for treatment."
"By the way, you three emperors took the fake death drug and woke up early. Without the treatment of my Bei Ming doctor, you will just wait to die." After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he did not forget to add one more sentence.
After hearing what Qin Zhen said, the villagers fell silent. It was indeed unkind of their Third Prince to do this, but they had no say in the matter as to whether the other party was sincere.
After all, they were just barely able to survive, and they were clearly incapable of satisfying the other general's sincerity. Just when they didn't know what to do, Xia Hongmiao's personal doctor asked Qin Zhen, "What do you want in order to save our Third Prince?"
Qin Zhen listened to Lu Yang's words. He pretended to be silent for a while, looked at them and said, "It's very simple. I ask your Third Prince to take out 5 million catties of grain, 800,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 sets of farming tools as compensation. I will not pursue it. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to send him to the capital of Beiming."
When several villagers heard that Qin Zhen wanted so much food, they were stunned for a moment. After they came back to their senses, they looked at Shen Ruolan anxiously and said, "Miss Shen, we trust you so much that we agreed to let our third prince follow you. Now your general wants to kidnap people. How can this be allowed?"
"That's right, our Third Prince didn't succeed. How can you go back on your word?" The villagers said to Shen Ruolan one after another.
Shen Ruolan looked at the villagers who were getting more excited than the last, and said to them helplessly, "Brothers, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The Third Prince Xia has touched the bottom line of Bei Ming. As a Bei Ming citizen, I can only follow the arrangements of my leader."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued to say to the villagers: "Put yourself in their shoes. If we Bei Ming people wanted to hurt you Xia people, how would you react?"
"We..." The villagers who were about to speak stopped talking in an instant. Yes, today their Third Prince pretended to be dead, and they were going to turn against Bei Ming. Now their Third Prince had big plans against them, how could they let him go easily?
