Chapter 187 Don't bother others all the time
When Shen Yiyi heard that the enemy was scared away, her face was full of curiosity.
"Were they scared away because we outnumbered them?"
After saying that, he leaned over to look at the thousands of soldiers behind General Wei. Could it be that because they brought so many people with them, they scared those people away?
"No, they have no intention of fighting at all, they just come here to harass us."
"Harrassment?" Shen Yiyi became even more curious.
They are not going to fight but are harassing others. I can't imagine what those people are thinking. They can't be just idle.
Even Shang Zhanchen looked at General Wei suspiciously, although he was not as naive as Shen Yiyi thought.
But I couldn't figure out why the Qinchuan army came to harass us so often. I guess there must be a reason.
Meeting the puzzled looks of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, General Wei pointed to the people behind him.
"Now is the sweet potato harvest season. The reason why the Qinchuan Army has been harassing us so frequently is to test our strength.
During this period, they kept sending people to sneak in to find out the storage location of the sweet potatoes, and then they got the detailed information.
They will definitely attack in large numbers and take away the sweet potatoes."
"Are you saying that the Qinchuan Army has repeatedly violated the border in recent years just to steal the sweet potatoes from the people?" Shang Zhanchen frowned.
I had previously speculated that there had been frictions on this border and that it must have been caused by something. Now it seems that the problem must be with sweet potatoes.
“That’s right, the land in Qinchuan is special, and the yield of grain and vegetables is low, so they often go to neighboring countries to rob.
The sweet potatoes of our Great Shang Kingdom can not only be used as a staple food, but also as a vegetable, and are the main food they snatch.
The sweet potato harvest season is also the time when we have the most battles with them." General Wei's brows were also furrowed tightly.
In recent years, when the sweet potato harvest season came, there were constant battles of varying sizes with the Qinchuan Army, although there were no major defeats.
But a lot of sweet potatoes were also snatched away by them, and I feel depressed when I think about it.
"What is sweet potato?" Shen Yiyi looked at General Wei curiously again.
Since this thing has started a war, I think it must be delicious, but I don’t know what it tastes like.
General Wei was a little surprised to hear what the Crown Princess said. The Crown Princess didn't even know what sweet potatoes were.
But when he remembered that the Crown Princess was a young lady who lived at home and never went into the kitchen, it was not surprising that she didn't recognize him, so he continued to explain patiently.
"Sweet potatoes are similar in shape to carrots, but they are sweet and soft and can be steamed, boiled, or stewed.
There are many ways to eat it, and it tastes delicious. It can be used not only as a staple food, but also as a vegetable.
It is also very nutritious and is the main staple food for the people of our Great Shang Nation."
"Oh." Shen Yiyi nodded. It sounded like the dish was delicious. She was about to ask something else when she saw Xiaoguai was distracted.
"What are you thinking about?" He pushed Shang Zhanchen with his hand.
I don’t know what Xiaoguai was thinking, but he was actually standing straight at this moment.
"Oh, nothing." Shang Zhanchen came back to his senses and looked at Shen Yiyi again.
"You were going to visit the military camp, why don't you do that?"
"I just came back because I heard some noise over here."
"Then continue shopping!" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi, then at Jiang Zuo.
Jiang Zuo immediately understood what his master meant and looked at Shen Yiyi with a smile.
"Miss, why don't I go shopping with you? It just so happens that I haven't been there before."
"No, I've already seen everything here." Shen Yiyi shook her head.
There are so many troublesome things happening here, why does she keep wandering around? She still has some vision.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
If the Crown Princess doesn't go shopping, how can the master discuss business with General Wei?
He glanced at his master again and continued to persuade him.
"Miss, what about over there? I heard there are many rare herbs in the mountains over there."
"Really?" Shen Yiyi's eyes lit up.
He immediately became alert and looked in the direction of Jiang Zuo's finger at the mountains in front.
The mountain is quite high and seems to be quite old. Maybe there really is a nine-petal hollow lotus there.
"Okay then, let's go for a walk." Just as he was about to run over, he stopped again.
"Little cutie, do you want to go with me?"
General Wei is so busy, I guess he has a lot of things to do, and it doesn't seem good for Xiaoguai to stay here.
"I'm tired. You guys go first. I plan to take a rest." Shang Zhanchen looked calm.
Now he had a lot of things to say to General Wei, so he had no time to accompany her to find herbs.
"Oh, that's okay."
Shen Yiyi nodded, then came to Shang Zhanchen again, stood on tiptoe and put her kiss close to his ear.
"Then you should go back and rest. Don't always let General Wei accompany you. He has a lot of things to do, you know!"
General Wei is so busy, we can't let him always accompany us idle people. He is embarrassed to say it out loud, so we have to be more self-conscious.
“……………………”Everyone looked at each other.
The Crown Princess's whisper was a little loud, and they all heard it.
"Okay, I understand." Shang Zhanchen raised the corner of his mouth.
Shen Yiyi then ran to the forest in front with Jiang Zuo. After they left, Shang Zhanchen, General Wei and others returned to the meeting tent again.
General Wei also repeated all the details of this period to the prince again.
Shen Yiyi and Jiang Zuo entered the mountain. They originally planned to explore the surrounding area first, but they didn't expect to encounter many unexpected surprises.
Although I didn’t see any trace of the Nine-Leaf Holly Lotus, I saw many rare herbs and poisonous insects.
When Shen Yiyi saw them, she felt like she had seen a treasure. She couldn't move a step and started picking medicinal herbs and catching poisonous insects.
Jiang Zuoke stayed in the woods for the entire afternoon. He had work to do and hardly moved.
He was either helping the Crown Princess deal with poisonous insects or helping her clean medicinal herbs. He was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back.
Seeing that the Crown Princess was about to go into the mountains again, he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Miss, it's getting late. We have to go back."
"Hmm?" Shen Yiyi looked up.
I looked at the sky which was getting dark and realized it was already this time.
"Okay, let's go back now!"
When he heard that he could go back, Jiang Zuo breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly got up from the ground.
He put the dressed poisonous insects on a stick and tied all the medicinal herbs into bundles, carrying the herbs on one side and the poisonous insects on the other.
Looking at the things Jiang Zuo picked, Shen Yiyi was so happy.
"I didn't expect there are so many rare medicinal herbs here!" She followed happily behind.
Looking at the poisonous insects and medicinal herbs that Jiang Zuo was picking, he was so happy that he could refine several kinds of pills and medicinal powders.
Shang Zhanchen, Jiang You and others were standing at the gate of the military camp. From a distance they saw Jiang Zuo carrying a heavy load of things like a farmer.
Shen Yiyi followed behind, skipping and jumping, and seeing her joy, she guessed what Jiang Zuo was picking.
Shen Yiyi saw Xiaoguai and the others standing in front from a distance and rushed over excitedly.
"Little darling, we found a lot of things!"
