Inside the camp, the lights are brightly lit.
Wu Xinyao was half lying and half sitting on the bed, her face slightly pale.
Her right arm was injured, and the military doctor was holding white gauze and carefully bandaging Wu Xinyao's wound layer by layer.
"The princess's injury is not serious. Just try not to use your right hand in the past few days. She will recover slowly after a period of rest..." the military doctor said as he put away the medical kit.
"Will my princess be able to hold a knife with her hands in the future?" the maid asked nervously.
"It doesn't matter. You just have to pay more attention these days. After all, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, so you must take a good rest."
As he was talking, Fu Tingye came in from the outside and asked, "How is the princess's injury?"
Qin Laowu in the camp suddenly trembled, and went up to him with a stiff smile, "General, don't worry, the princess is just a minor injury...a minor injury..."
"A broken muscle or bone is just a minor injury?! Princess Jinzhiyuye, who asked you to take her to Panlong Mountain?!" Fu Tingye roared as soon as he saw him, "The power of the thunder is extraordinary. If anything happens to the princess, I will kill you." I can’t afford to pay you back a hundred times!”
Although he was scolding, he never said anything substantive. He neither criticized nor deducted military pay. Fu Tingye was obviously protecting his shortcomings.
He scolded Qin Laowu and shouted: "Why don't you quickly apologize to the princess?!"
"This matter has nothing to do with Vice General Qin." Wu Xinyao raised her head and looked at Fu Tingye. Her eyes were calm and clear, and her appearance became more and more cold. "My horse was frightened. I fell to the ground and injured my arm."
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at Qin Laowu.
Qin Laowu smiled dryly and touched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "It was my negligence. Our horses have become accustomed to the explosions in Panlong Mountain. The princess's horse came from the south and suddenly heard the sound... and was startled. Got a horse…”
Wu Xinyao suddenly said: "General Fu, can I talk to you alone?"
Fu Tingye was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Hearing this, the others exited the tent one after another. Qin Laowu also walked out hesitantly, winking at Fu Tingye from time to time.
Fu Tingye: "..."
I couldn't understand what Qin Laowu's wink meant at all.
When everyone in the camp retreated, only Fu Tingye and Wu Xinyao were left. Fu Tingye pulled up a chair and sat down, asking, "What do you want to talk to me about, princess?"
Wu Xinyao fell into silence and did not speak.
Fu Tingye did not rush her, but sat and waited patiently.
After a long time, Wu Xinyao slowly spoke: "Qi's new weapons are really powerful... Mrs. Si Bing, she is well-deserved."
A faint smile appeared on Fu Tingye's face, indicating his agreement.
Wu Xinyao said quietly: "With Mrs. Si Bing sitting in Daqi, no wonder the Liao soldiers will turn to attack south. It seems... General Fu can rest easy in the future."
Fu Tingye was noncommittal and simply replied: "The Emperor of Liao will not sit still and wait to die."
The threat still exists. Everyone in the world knows the ambition of the Emperor of Liao, and sooner or later he will take action against Qi.
"When I go back, I will personally tell my father what I saw and heard today." Wu Xinyao said, "I hope General Fu can solve the crisis in Nanzhao. We, Nanzhao, are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a large number of these thunders. Five thousand."
Fu Tingye was silent for a while and replied: "Princess, to repel the Liao Kingdom's one hundred thousand army, five thousand is indeed not enough, but as I said before, this kind of weapon requires a large amount of saltpeter, charcoal and other raw materials, which are required for mining and production. time… "
He paused and looked up at Wu Xinyao, "If Nanzhao is willing to cede the mining rights of Qianhe Mountain, I will explain the pros and cons to the emperor, and the number of Zhentian Lei should be increased."
Wu Xinyao's lips curved into a sneer.
He keeps saying that he wants to ask the emperor what he means. In fact, the emperor of Daqi is only eight years old now. He is completely at the mercy of his ministers. Fu Tingye has made the king again in this far north, even more so that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Now making this gesture is nothing more than If you want to sit down, start the price.
"The general has a good plan." Wu Xinyao sneered at him mercilessly, "Qianhe Mountain has the largest iron ore factory in Nanzhao, and the general is very good at choosing places."
Fu Tingye replied: "Iron ore is just iron ore. Without a blacksmith, it will never become a weapon. Why should the princess be persistent?"
Wu Xinyao turned her face away and no longer looked at Fu Tingye. "I will discuss the mining matter with my father. Can the general hold a banquet for me? I think I will set off back to Nanzhao in the next few days."
Fu Tingye's eyes fell on Wu Xinyao's injured arm, "It would be better to rest for a few days before leaving."
"No need." Wu Xinyao replied coldly, "This little injury won't bother you."
When Fu Tingye saw her like this, he no longer forced her to stay, "Well, let's hold a banquet for the princess tomorrow to practice."
Wu Xinyao suddenly looked directly at him and asked, "I want to see her at the banquet - Mrs. Si Bing."
Fu Tingye frowned and opened his mouth to refuse. Wu Xinyao was the first to say: "General, since Nanzhao and Daqi will cooperate in the future, it is better to treat people with sincerity. There is no point in being secretive. How can the general still... Will she hide it all her life?"
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at her, a little unhappy because of Wu Xinyao's words.
"I'll bring her here tomorrow." After thinking for a moment, Fu Tingye agreed to Wu Xinyao's request.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Wu Xinyao stopped him: "Fu Tingye."
Fu Tingye turned around.
Wu Xinyao smiled brightly, her beautiful appearance even more beautiful and charming, "You won't just find a fake to deal with me, will you?"
Fu Tingye said calmly: "Princess, you are worrying too much."
After saying that, Shen stepped out of the tent.
Wu Xinyao looked at the tall man's back with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Her maids returned to the camp, looked at Wu Xinyao's face, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, has the general agreed?"
"Yes." Wu Xinyao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Go down and get ready."
…
The next day, there was a rare thunderstorm, and the dry and hot weather became cool and pleasant.
When the sun sets and the sky darkens, braziers are set up on the school grounds, long tables are placed, food is served like water, and there are musicians who are tuning their instruments.
Wu Xinyao put on the most orthodox costume of Nanzhao Kingdom.
- The black charcoal pencil outlines the beautiful eyebrows long and slightly raised, showing a bit of sharpness. The red gold hollow pattern armband is enchanting and meandering. The waist is connected with red gauze and layers of bright gold pieces. The gracefulness and elegance reveal the beauty of an alien race. .
The maid held Wu Xinyao's hand and used a small brush dipped in gold powder to decorate her red nails with golden patterns.
"Is anyone here?" Wu Xinyao asked.
The maid shook her head and steadily drew a golden plum blossom between Wu Xinyao's eyebrows, "No, the general went to pick it up in person."
"Did you pick it up in person..." Wu Xinyao was thoughtful.
What kind of woman would she be? … It can’t really be like the rumors, with three heads and six arms, right
At this time, there was a noise outside.
She heard someone shout: "Mrs. Si Bing is here!"
Wu Xinyao's heart sank and she immediately walked out of the tent -
From a distance, he saw Fu Tingye leading a young woman. The woman was wearing a lake-green dress. She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, very young. Especially when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, revealing the ignorant and pure beauty of a girl. It made her look younger and younger.
She still has a bit of beauty, but her skin is better than that of Sai Xue. She can be regarded as a delicate beauty. —Wu Xinyao commented in her heart.
She watched Fu Tingye leading the woman to the newly decorated school grounds.
Fu Tingye stretched out his hand to pull Hua Qingxue's sleeves or tugged on her collar from time to time, trying to cover up her snow-white skin as much as possible. He thought that his actions were hidden. In fact, everyone around him saw them, and he was just pretending. I just don’t know.
Qin Laowu also winked at Hai Shixuan, obviously laughing at Fu Tingye's behavior.
Wu Xinyao looked at this scene and felt it was extremely dazzling...
Their relationship is very close...much closer than she imagined...
…
The banquet was held for Wu Xinyao, so Wu Xinyao's position was the same as that of Fu Tingye, at the head of the table.
Fu Tingye specially asked someone to add a seat next to him and arranged for Hua Qingxue to sit with him. Although it has not been officially announced yet, the news that the two are about to get married has already spread like wildfire, and everyone in the entire military camp knows about it. .
Hua Qingxue followed him and sat down, curiously looking at the surrounding arrangements.
This place was originally a martial arts school, but it immediately changed after the tables and chairs were put in. The charcoal fire in the brazier illuminated the surrounding area. Not far away, there was a suckling pig, roasting in the bonfire until the aroma was overflowing.
The people who came to the banquet were all Fu Tingye's most capable soldiers. Everyone took their seats one after another. Then, some soldiers brought ice basins and placed them around - the air heated by the charcoal fire slowly cooled due to the addition of ice cubes.
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at the ice basin beside him. He didn't like it no matter what. If you put it closer, you're afraid Hua Qingxue will catch a cold; if you put it farther, you're afraid Hua Qingxue will feel hot.
"You don't know how smart Zhao Sheng is." Hua Qingxue whispered to him, "He knew that I arranged for someone to make ice, so he spent money to buy ice cubes, grind them into smoothies, add fruits and sugar, and get Sell it on the street! I heard you can make a lot of money!"
Fu Tingye replied coolly: "No matter how much you earn, it's all yours."
When she marries into the general's mansion, won't it all be hers
Hua Qingxue blushed slightly, "That's not what I meant..."
"I know, you praise him for being smart." Fu Tingye smiled, "If you want to make money in the future, go to him. He has the most connections."
"Yeah." Hua Qingxue nodded with bright eyes, thinking about how her batch of handmade soap was selling.
At this time, the field suddenly fell silent.
Hua Qingxue looked up and saw a group of people walking outside. Two maids were surrounding a woman in red. Her gauze skirt was elegant and decorated with countless oval gold pieces. At a glance, she could see the golden light and her beauty. Refined.
"Who is that? She is so beautiful!" Hua Qingxue was filled with envy.
Fu Tingye thought that Hua Qingxue had taken a fancy to Wu Xinyao's clothes, and said nonchalantly: "If you like it, I'll have someone make two sets for you to wear, but the red is too bright, so I'll change it to another color... You what color do you like?"
At this time Wu Xinyao had already approached.
Hua Qingxue heard someone whisper that the princess was here, and then she realized that the other party was Princess Nanzhao whom she saw last time in the school grounds.
Last time she dressed up like a chivalrous girl. This time she came dressed up, showing off her grace and nobility, and her momentum was extraordinary.
Hua Qingxue had met the prince and the general. This was the first time she met the princess. She couldn't help but take a second look and thought to herself: The royal bloodline is really different from ordinary people. She is so beautiful...
Wu Xinyao strolled over until she came to Hua Qingxue and looked at her intently.
