In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 186 Rich Woman

In fact, the Queen Mother knew everything in her heart, but she was just waiting for him to say some things in person.

Li Ji Suolang himself knew very well that if he did not bring back the elite of the elite in the court to increase his chances of victory, by the time Prince Jing and his men caught the Western Regions off guard, it would be too late.

Although he couldn't guess that the Queen Mother also wanted him to go back, he knew that he had no choice but to go back now.

After all, the people of the Western Regions are still immersed in the joy of being able to seize people and supplies at will after attacking Yunjin. They have no idea that danger is approaching now. Even if they find the fastest spy, he can't catch up with Lu Yan's speed.

"Please allow me to return, Your Majesty. After all, I am also closely involved in the affairs of the Western Regions. If possible, I still want to restore the relationship between the Western Regions and Yunjin."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager pretended to be sad and tried to persuade him to stay for a few words, then approved it.

He and Lu Yan arrived one after another. When Lu Yan arrived, Li Ji Suolang had not arrived yet, but Lu Yan himself knew that he must be on the way. He would definitely not sit and wait for death in the capital.

They had just been stationed around the Western Regions. This was the border of Yunjin adjacent to the Western Regions. The people here were almost all beggars. There were many people who died of hatred on the road, and there were not even people to bury. It might be because the whole family was killed. If there were too many dead people, there might be more dead people than living people. How could there be a chance to sell them?

Looking at these situations, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel distressed.

He still remembered the tragedies he had witnessed in Saigo when he was with the shrine maiden, and he never wanted to forget those circumstances.

Yun Jin is now in ruins, but he knows that he and the witch have tried their best. It can only be said that these evil forces have been involved since the time of their ancestors. If the two of them want to eliminate them, they naturally have to endure humiliation.

But now he has waited too long, and he can't help but feel heartbroken when he sees the situation.

General Xiao Li couldn't bear to see Prince Jing like this:

"Your Highness, the corpses everywhere are not your fault, so you don't have to be sad. What's more, you have the help of the witch now, and we even have the Nanxiang people who can be called upon to help at any time. At most, we can give you more benefits after you ascend the throne. So the future is beckoning us, don't be too sad."

Although his words were not painful or itchy, they did comfort Lu Yan.

They camped here for three days in order to set up camp. Logically speaking, even if the imperial court was slow, the food and supplies would have arrived after three days.

But as expected, just as Lu Yan had expected, the Empress Dowager sent a letter first, saying that the court was in serious deficit and could not afford to send food and fodder, which might be troublesome.

She still needs to spend some time to collect it from below, so she can only trouble them to bear with it for a while. At worst, they can find something to eat at the border.

She also specifically praised Lu Yan and his friends for their selfless behavior. After reading the letter, Lu Yan chuckled, slapped the table and said nothing.

As he imagined, the Queen Mother was nothing but a cunning fox. General Li just read the letter and couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"This old witch hasn't changed after all this time. She probably thinks that our last victory over the Nanxiang people in the north was just luck. After all, she doesn't believe in the power of the gods. So now she wants to outlast us, but she's wrong."

Of course she was wrong. As for the power of gods, they not only had it but also used it very well.

What's more, they are now all elite soldiers and are fully prepared to go into battle. Why should they be afraid?

That night, Lu Yan was bent over his desk, carefully studying the terrain of the border. He was so absorbed in it that he paid no attention to any movement around him.

But when he looked up, he suddenly saw a face that he had been thinking about day and night.

Indeed, he had only been here for half a month, and he had not seen the witch for half a month, but now she had appeared in his dreams every night. When he looked up, he was filled with surprise.

"Why are you here, witch?"

Xu Qingyin pouted:

"Why can't I come?"

Actually, I’ve wanted to come here for a long time.

Lu Yan quickly changed his words:

"Why can't you come, Miko? I was just too surprised to see you coming."

Xu Qingyin then smiled, her entire aura like the white moon hanging high in the sky:

"I've been using the system to check on your situation, but it wasn't convenient for me to be with you when you were on such a bumpy road, so I had to stay alone. Now that you've finally arrived, I rushed over to see you after finishing my work. How have you been doing lately?"

Lu Yan shook his head.

Naturally they had to shake their heads. After all, they had been here for three days and had almost eaten up all the food and fodder they brought with them on the road. Originally, those food and fodder were to be supplied by the court, but they still did not give them any.

If Xu Qingyin hadn't been there to back him up, he might have been helpless.

Xu Qingyin also knew about these things. When she thought about it, she couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"That old witch, the Queen Mother, is really going too far. If it weren't for my unwavering support, she probably wouldn't even want to take it from below. When you were in the court, she was still looking forward to you going to the war. Now that you're gone, there's no one in Chaozhong Town who can punish her, and she immediately returned to her old ways."

Lu Yan didn't pay attention to what Xu Qingyin said. He only wanted to know if Xu Qingyin had been wronged or unhappy in the court.

"Now you are the only one in the court. After all, we are far away from the capital. The emperor is far away and he is not afraid of us. Now you are the only one left. I wronged you a lot back then. I hope you can protect yourself and don't go against her too much for us. It would not be good if you offend her."

Xu Qingyin shook her head:

"No, no, no, I didn't expect them to do that. Do you know why I came here today?"

Lu Yan was a little curious:

"what happened?"

"I brought you a feast."

After saying this, Xu Qingyin's bracelet began to glow.

Although Lu Yan had already traveled around the modern world on his own, he didn't usually care much about food, so he was still shocked when Xu Qingyin brought him such a large table of dishes.

"How much did you spend?"

Xu Qingyin hissed.

The wholesale price is 200 per table, and if 6 people eat there, it would only be two million.

She is a wealthy woman worth billions.
