Wicked Prince’s Abandoned Wife - C256
It had been snowing all night, the first snow of the winter. The soldiers all brought clothes that could resist the cold. Although Yun Ruo Ran didn’t bring any clothes, she still cooked in the army kitchen. If she became ill, there would be one less cook in the kitchen, so she was given a cotton coat to protect herself from the cold.
Initially, Yun Ruo had her own martial arts skills and wasn’t too afraid of the cold. It was just that she was pregnant, and was said to be especially sensitive to pregnant women. That was why she felt slightly cold. He thought about it for a while, then decided to put it on. In just a few short days, her cooking skills were getting better and better. However, his appetite grew. Sometimes, he would secretly cook for himself in the kitchen.
This time, Yuchi Snow wasn’t sending out his entire army. After all, the Blue Snow Nation was only a small country. At most, they had an army of two hundred thousand, while the Yuchi Kingdom was a major power, with an army of a million.
However, this little clan of Bluemoon was extremely tenacious. It made sense that Yuchi Xuan would be the first to suppress the clan of Bluemoon. This time, Yuchi Snow had sent out three hundred thousand soldiers, while the army of the Blue Snow Nation was only two hundred thousand. Originally, this first battle shouldn’t have been lost, but someone of incredible ability had appeared out of nowhere within the entire Blue Snow Nation.
But Yuchi Xuan didn’t plan to withdraw his forces. He still wanted the soldiers to stay and defend. In fact, he even planned to take the lead. What was going on?
Did Yuchi Xuan really want this little place like this?
Although Yuchi Kingdom had suffered a defeat, the morale of its soldiers was not high. After all, they had lost the war between a large country and a small country. However, the soldiers were encouraged by Yuchi Xuan’s decision to take the field in person. To be able to be on the same battlefield as the Emperor, this could be considered the honor of a soldier.
In addition, although the Yuchi Kingdom had lost many of its soldiers, the Blue Snow Nation wasn’t much better off. But overall, even though Yuchi had lost a match, it still held an astonishing advantage.
Yun Ruo was eating in the kitchen, thinking about this problem. It was already night time, there were many people in the kitchen who weren’t soldiers, they were all here to cook for the soldiers.
This was one of the reasons why Yuchi Xuan cherished his soldiers. He was afraid that the food cooked by the people in the military camp wouldn’t be tasty.
However, Yun Ruo Lu felt that if they fought again, perhaps Lan Xue Guo wouldn’t be so lucky to win again. Although marching and fighting depended on time and place.
However, this generation was made up of plains, so they didn’t have any strange terrain like high valleys or slopes. So of course, they couldn’t use this kind of terrain. As for the time, he didn’t know what would happen, so he wasn’t sure. Besides, the soldiers had also brought cotton clothing to protect themselves from the cold. It wasn’t even worth mentioning the fact that they were in a personal army led by Yuchi Xuan. No matter what, the morale of the soldiers in this army was extremely high. Therefore, the Blue Snow Nation would not have the absolute advantage in these three aspects.
But what would the Blue Snow Congress use to win? Yun Ruo You thought for a while, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in the kitchen. Yun Ruo Lu quickly hid herself, she was hungry at night so she didn’t want to be discovered. Although she wasn’t a person of the military camp, her ability to eat made others suspicious of her.
He saw a black-clothed person come over, and as if he had placed some white powder in the soy sauce, he quietly left.
Yun Ruo Lu was stunned. This person should have been sent by the Lan Xue Kingdom. It was just that how could he enter so easily with heavy army guards and not alarm the soldiers outside? This could only mean that he was a spy from the Kingdom of Lan-Xue.
That day, she finished eating and left. Yun Ruo Lu went to take a look at the jar of soy sauce. She didn’t know if anything would happen if she ate it.
Coincidentally, there was a dog in the military camp that was helping Yuchi Xuanluo test his poison, so he might as well give it a try.
Yun Ruo Lu found a piece of meat in the kitchen, sprinkled some soy sauce on it and tossed it to the dog. After eating, the dog didn’t react at first, but then it collapsed and began to diarrhea. Then it became weak.
It seemed that this wasn’t a lethal poison and would only take a short while to take effect. Otherwise, with so many soldiers in the military camp, some of them would immediately die, and the rest would definitely not eat it.
It seemed like a powerful laxative. Yun Ruo Lu felt that she had to destroy the vat of soy sauce so that the killer couldn’t get away with it. Thus, she intentionally left the kitchen at night and used a stone to perform a light skill to smash apart the vat of soy sauce.
The next day, all the soldiers had no soy sauce in their food. It was also said that Yuchi Xuan’s appetite wasn’t very good. Yun Ruo Lu could only helplessly say that a dish without soy sauce wasn’t very tasty to begin with. How could this Yuchi Xuan possibly eat?
“Little Yun, ah, you have to help Aunt Chen! The emperor won’t eat Aunt Chen’s food. If this goes on, Aunt Chen will be chased out of the barracks. What’s going to happen if she angers the emperor?” This was the person who had brought her to the military camp.
Yun Ruo thought about it and felt that the reason why Yuchi Xuan didn’t eat the food was not because the food was too light. When she was cooking, she knew that the soy sauce was used to adjust the color and not to make the food taste salty. Therefore, she came up with an idea. She wanted the kitchen to prepare the dish, wrap it in rice and then make it into a rice ball.
Yun Ruo Man’s idea was a good one. Although it was just food and food, it was a different form. These days, they had heard that Yuchi Xuan and the soldiers had a good appetite.
Only then did Yun Ruo Lu relax a little. After all, she was the one who knocked out the soy sauce jar. If all the soldiers were unable to eat because of this matter, then she would feel that she had let down these soldiers who were fighting in the battlefield.
However, Yun Ruo Lu’s worries came back. Although she was in a jam jar last time, this person should still come and cause trouble. Thus, Yun Ruo Lu stayed in the kitchen for the past few nights. On one hand, she was hungry at night and really wanted to eat. His appetite had also grown, and one of the reasons was to see who this person was, to actually have the ability to sneak into the army camp.
Sure enough, within a few days, that person came again. The last time was in a jar of soy sauce, so that person probably didn’t think it was a necessity. Thus, this time, he placed his focus on the salt shaker.
Yun Ruo felt helpless and wanted to pour the whole vat of salt, but when she thought about it again, the spies sent by the Kingdom of Lan-Xue were not discovered. Could it be that his intelligence was that low?
He did not doubt that she would not care about the soy sauce. If she poured out the vat of salt, he would not care. Every time he came to the kitchen to poison his son, it was a huge risk to him. If that was the case, would his hard work be wasted?
Yun Ruo thought for a while, then used a shovel to dig a hole near the kitchen tent, sealed the jar of salt, and buried it.
On the second day, they found out that the salt shaker had disappeared. As a result, the food they cooked on the second day was extremely light. Once again, the soldiers lost their appetite.
“What can you do this time?” “This time, the emperor is really going to kill me.” Aunt Chen almost said it in a sobbing tone. She eagerly looked at Yun Ruo Lu, hoping she could give a good idea.
As long as you make steamed buns for the soldiers, they won’t need any salt. You can put the sugar in the steamed buns, but if it’s a monotonous steamed bun, the soldiers might not want to eat it all day. Yun Ruo said leisurely.
Therefore, there were many buns and buns in this living room. The people in the kitchen were quite decent. Although they looked alike, the red dots on the corners of their eyes were not bad.
As Yuchi Xuan looked at the steamed bun, he felt that it was quite interesting. However, he was somewhat curious as to who had made the steamed bun. Last time was a rice ball, but this time it was a steamed bun. Who knows what will happen next time. However, he was not an idiot. How could the soy sauce pot fall from the kitchen and disappear with it? This was really too inconceivable.
It had snowed in the past few days, and the weather was even colder than it had been a few days ago. Frost had even appeared on the road, and the soldiers’ feet were starting to slip.
Everyone tied their ropes to their feet, so that they wouldn’t slip during a war. Yun Ruo Lu was curious, why didn’t that Blue Snow Nation’s spy come again at night? Did he not want to poison it? The poison had been used up.
Today, the war started before dawn, but the situation on the battlefield wasn’t too good. Although Yuchi Xuan was in the lead, the weather was very cold and the horses were easily frightened.
The Blue Snow Nation was also considered a rather cold place. The soldiers there were very used to the cold, and the winter there was quite long. Near the Mongolian area. However, the Yuchi Kingdom wasn’t like that. The fourth rank of the Yuchi Kingdom was fairly even, and so the soldiers there were used to battling in cold places.
This battle was so intense that it could be said that no one had lost and no one had won. It was just that the two sides suddenly pulled back their troops when they were halfway through the fight. However, upon returning, the army of the Yuchi Kingdom immediately began to feel uncomfortable. He didn’t know what was going on with his vomiting.
Yun Ruo was shocked. The doctor in the military immediately said that the soldiers of Yuchi Kingdom had been poisoned by a mild Gu poison. After all, if this poison was on a large area, it should be easy to raise. Things that were easy to nurture were easy to cure. The way to remove the Gu was to immerse one’s hand in brine. This was because when the insect poison was first planted, it would constantly vomit. However, on the second day, it would rot and the soldier’s hands would become useless. This vomiting was only one of the symptoms of the insect poison, and rotten hands were the true danger of the Gu.
But where did the salt come from? The second day, the soldiers would be too vicious. Could it be that these hundreds of thousands of soldiers could not even afford a hoe, much less a weapon?
How could Yuchi Xuan not care for his soldiers? Even Ke Yunjin was frowning.
Yun Ruo Lu saw that someone’s hand was starting to peel. This was not a good sign.
Now that the salt in the kitchen had been taken away, it would take at least two days to get to the nearest city. This was, after all, a border. The capital city was too far away, and there weren’t even any small towns nearby.
