Chapter 317 Bring it to you
"Okay, sit tight then!"
The driver received the order, whipped the horse-drawn carriage, and drove it to the garrison camp in the northern suburbs.
Prince Rui stays in the military camp all year round. He has been coming less frequently recently because he has too many things to do at home.
The butler was familiar with all the terrain in the capital, and in a short while, he drove the carriage to the outside of the military camp.
Before they could get close, two soldiers blocked their way and said, "This is a garrison area. No outsiders are allowed to approach. Hurry and leave."
The driver quickly jumped off the carriage and explained, "Sir, my young lady has important matters to discuss with the King of Rui. Please inform the two sirs."
"Your lady?"
The soldier looked towards the carriage and said, "Don't worry about who your young lady is. Tell her to leave immediately. My King Rui has never been interested in women. You have come to the wrong place!"
"Who said I was a womanizer?"
Ye Xinran opened the carriage window, poked her head out slightly, and said seriously: "I am the sister of King Rui, and I came here today for something important.
Please report it immediately, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences if King Rui asks you about it."
The two guards laughed when they heard this: "We have served under King Rui for so many years, but we have never heard that King Rui has a sister.
No matter whose daughter you are, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise, you will suffer the consequences. "
Ye Xinran didn't expect the guards of this military camp to be so stubborn.
"I just asked you to report a message. Whether it is true or false will be determined by King Rui. You are here to hesitate. Are you too lazy to move?
How could the King of Rui, who is so famous, have soldiers like you?"
The two men didn't expect the visitor to be so shameless. Not only did he fail to persuade them to leave, but he also ridiculed them. They immediately got angry.
"It's a heavily guarded area, no outsiders are allowed to approach! Since you won't leave despite my kind words, don't blame me for being rude, girl!"
The two men came up and attacked the carriage.
The horses were frightened and neighed and raised their front hooves. The driver hurriedly tightened the reins, but the three horses were completely out of control and ran to the left.
On the left is a wasteland with uneven rocks. It shouldn't be dangerous for the carriage to pass through, but the people sitting in the carriage may suffer.
Ye Xinran really didn't expect that these soldiers would be so ruffian and would start fighting as soon as they said they would.
She reached out to hold onto the edge of the car, tensed her body, and prepared to endure the pain.
At this moment, a steady "whoosh" sound suddenly came from outside, and the bumpy carriage slowed down.
Ye Xinran stuck her head out and saw a middle-aged man jumping onto the horse's back and controlling a white horse in front.
The man steadied the carriage, jumped off the horse immediately, and said to the carriage: “I don’t know why Miss Lu came to visit suddenly. I’m sorry.
Please get out of the car, Miss Lu, and follow me inside to see King Rui!"
"Who are you? How do you know my identity?"
Ye Xinran opened the car window again and asked in surprise.
"I am Zhao Yun, the deputy general of King Rui. I heard King Rui mention the girl before. I just happened to overhear the conversation between Miss Lu and the guard, so I know the identity of the girl."
Zhao Yun in front of him was tall and had a righteous face, and looked like a good man.
"What about those two people just now?"
Ye Xinran is still angry.
"Don't worry, Miss Lu. I have already ordered them to lead the army. Please be kind and don't report them to the prince."
"For your sake, I can keep it to myself for now."
Ye Xinran said.
She followed Zhao Yun into the military camp. When the men in the camp saw a woman coming in, they all stared at her.
They live in the military camp every day and have few opportunities to see girls. The chances of seeing a girl as graceful as Ye Xinran are even fewer.
Zhao Yun noticed the looks from everyone, stopped, and shouted to those around him, "What are you looking at?
Let’s add another hour of training today!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately lowered their heads.
The military camp is very big.
Ye Xinran followed the deputy general in twists and turns and finally arrived at the commander-in-chief's tent.
Zhao Yun stopped and motioned Ye Xinran to wait for a moment.
He walked into the tent and explained the situation.
After a moment, Zhao Yun came out and extended his hand to Ye Xinran, "Miss Lu, please!"
Ye Xinran followed him into the tent.
I saw a few people gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
At this time, King Rui had already stood up, and the others rolled up the map on the table and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, several people secretly looked up at Ye Xinran and were all stunned by her beauty.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they had some tacit understanding.
Ye Xinran didn't care and bowed to Prince Rui, "Prince Rui!"
King Rui asked, "What's the matter that makes you so anxious? Why did you come to the military camp?"
After knowing each other for so long, this is Ye Xinran’s first time coming to the military camp.
This made King Rui feel uneasy, worried that something important had happened.
Ye Xinran smiled slightly: "Your Highness forgot, didn't I say yesterday that I would go back and make samples for you to see?
I didn't expect the prince to be so busy today, I couldn't wait, so I came here directly."
It turned out to be the case.
King Rui felt relieved.
"What does the sample you made look like? Take it out and let me see it!"
Ye Xinran nodded to the driver, and he handed over the prepared basket.
The basket was covered with a piece of cloth. When the cloth was lifted, neatly stacked oil blocks were revealed.
King Rui frowned and asked, "Is this the food you prepared for the journey?"
"Yup!"
Ye Xinran took out a piece, pointed at it and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this thing. This solidified lard contains pork and shredded vegetables, as well as various seasonings.
Although there aren't many dishes, there are some.
This stuff can be kept for a long time.
No matter where we went during the march, we could just boil a pot of water, throw this in, and eat it as a soup to go with our meals.
If conditions permit, you can add something else. If not, just drinking a bowl of soup like this can make people feel full.
The conditions on the road are tough, so we can’t expect the team’s cooks to cook delicious food, but I believe everyone will be satisfied with this.”
"Are you so confident?" King Rui looked at the small piece of oil with some disbelief.
This thing is indeed convenient to carry around, but if you say it tastes good, that would be an exaggeration, right?
Ye Xinran said: "Words are not enough, Your Majesty can verify it on the spot and cook a pot of soup for everyone to taste."
King Rui winked at his deputy general, and Zhao Yun immediately stepped forward and reached out to take the basket from the driver.
The driver didn't dare to let go without Ye Xinran's order.
Zhao Yun pulled but failed to move it.
He thought the driver was competing with him in strength, and wondered how this little driver dared to show off his skills in front of him?
So he used all his strength to grab the basket.
As a result, there was a huge gap in strength. As soon as Zhao Yun succeeded, he retreated more than ten steps and hit the edge of the tent with a thud.
