Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 148 Are you here for Dabao?

The news that the crown prince was still alive was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. It spread quickly among the upper class circles in the capital. Some people were busy preparing, while others were eager to take action.

Some people were so excited that they couldn't sleep. As long as the Crown Prince was still alive, they had a goal.

While the capital is in turmoil due to the Crown Prince's conspiracy, our client Dabao is enjoying his life as a refugee.

With the addition of Huang Zhong, a sick man, and Dr. Lu and the pregnant woman Zhou Shiya, Xiao Yunxi and the others were not able to move very fast every day.

There are meat, vegetables and fruits available in the morning, noon and evening, and drinks and snacks when free. It is basically like an outing, and Dabao has gained a lot of weight.

The people ahead have secret guards leading the way, so there's no need to worry. The food provided is enough for them to get out of the mountains. Once they get out of the mountains and reach the provincial capital, the officials will make arrangements.

Unless the Governor gives up, if so many refugees are allowed to wander around, something like "There is no such thing as a noble or noble family" might happen.

Then they will be in trouble.

Xiao Yunxi and the others didn't know that Hutou Cliff had been breached and that the officials in the prefecture city were in danger. They received the news two days later.

After choosing a campsite, Zhou Jin was making a fire while Xiao Yunxi prepared today's dinner: beef stew with potatoes, braised beef shanks, and stir-fried beef.

Where does the beef come from?

There is a cow that fell to its death in the woods, and there are two more. Isn’t that a coincidence?

Why are there cows in the wild?

Xiao Yunxi said, maybe it was God's arrangement.

The pheasants, rabbits and wild boars were distributed to the people, but they didn't have much to eat. This time, the two cows were divided among the three villages, which was like a mouse falling into a rice jar, making them feel so happy.

Stir-fried beef must use the tenderest part of the cow, the tenderloin, marinated with onion, ginger, pepper, and a little salt to give the base flavor.

Xiao Yunxi pretended to go into the woods and sautéed the wild onions, ginger, and garlic she brought back over a high fire. The marinated beef tenderloin slices fell apart.

It doesn't take too long to cook the beef, just add sugar, soy sauce and vinegar to season it. Add some green peppers before serving. The beef will be smooth, tender and delicious.

Beef stewed with potatoes, rice, and stir-fried shepherd's purse and cabbage. This meal is better than what we had at home.

of course,

This kind of food standard is only available to small groups. The villagers eat a simpler diet, such as stewed beef and rice soaked in the broth.

There are desserts after meals, sweet potatoes thrown in when cooking, and hot goat milk before going to bed.

Where does goat milk come from?

Of course it is made with goat milk powder, no one doubts this.

Before fleeing, Xiao Yunxi tried to make goat milk powder and asked them to try it. It seemed that the milk powder this time had a smoother taste.

nonsense,

The quality of the goat milk powder produced by Wula is still excellent.

After the children went to bed, Xiao Yunxi put the braised beef aside to simmer. She heard Zhou San say to Zhou Jin: Hutou Cliff was breached, Yan Hao delayed the opportunity to fight, and fearing that he would be killed, he chose to surrender to the enemy.

Her first reaction was to bullshit.

Zhou Jin had given her a detailed introduction to the situation in the northwest. Yan Hao was the second prince's man, so even if it delayed the opportunity to fight, the second prince would definitely come forward to protect him.

In the 13 provinces of Daxia, the deputy commander-in-chief is the second most important military commander in the province, and the princes will not abandon him easily.

"If we can't take Tiger Head Cliff, I'm afraid we can't save the city either."

"Prince Qing's reinforcements have arrived near the city. We can hold out for a while, but the situation in the northwest is very strange. It feels like the Northern Barbarians and Great Xia are just pawns."

When the northern barbarians moved south, Daxia's response always had traces of human control, but unfortunately there is no clue.

Xiao Yunxi added some firewood to the bonfire and said casually:

"We can't see it now, and we can't find a clue, because the dust hasn't settled yet. Once the situation settles, whoever benefits will be the mastermind."

Whoever profits is the mastermind behind the scenes.

He suspected the Second Prince. The one who was most affected by Yan Hao's surrender to the enemy was the Second Prince. So, was there someone else behind the scenes?

Zhou Jin was itching to

"Have the remaining secret guards find Yan Hao. If there's a chance, take him under control and see if we can get any information out of him."

It's not only Zhou Jin who is looking for Yan Hao.

Back to two days ago,

Yan Hao led his men to launch a counterattack, forcing the Northern Barbarians to retreat step by step and recapture several county towns. However, news came from the rear that Hutou Cliff had been breached.

Being able to reach the position of Tongzhi, his sense of smell is very sensitive. He recalls in his mind all the interactions between the black-clad men, also known as the Plum Blossom Inner Guards, and him so far.

Something is very wrong!

Before he came to the northwest, he discussed the layout of the northwest with the second prince, which was completely contrary to the instructions of the Plum Blossom Inner Guard. The timing of this counterattack was even more bizarre.

In a surprise attack at night, the Northern Barbarians were defeated, and during the day, Tiger Head Cliff was lost.

He smelled the scent of conspiracy and immediately summoned his confidants. Unexpectedly, this action saved his life.

The Plum Blossom Guards hiding beside him suddenly attacked him. Fortunately, his confidants arrived and cleared out the assassins. Then, the people of King Qing suddenly attacked.

Yan Hao escaped under the protection of his confidant, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. The Plum Blossom Guards and the people of King Qing are looking for him.

"waste!"

In the military camp 50 miles away from the city, Prince Qing's face was terribly gloomy. The plan was going smoothly, but he didn't expect an accident to happen with Yan Hao.

Yan Hao's death will not affect this plan, but it will always be a big worry.

"Inform Sukhbaru that the decisive battle will take place tomorrow and proceed as planned. When this battle is over, I will allow his family to reunite with him."

Some are heroes, some are tyrants.

Tyrant: Women only affect the speed of my sword drawing.

Hero: It’s always hard to resist beautiful women.

Sukhbaru is the latter.

In the eyes of the northern barbarians, women are just machines for giving birth to children, the wealth of the tribe, and goods that can be shared. They have no human rights.

Sukhbaru has been studying Central Plains culture since he was a child and has studied in the Central Plains. What he yearns for more is the mutual support between husband and wife in the Central Plains culture.

So the wife he married was a woman from the Central Plains, and he was a good man who loved his wife.

Prince Qing took advantage of his weakness and set up a scheme to trick his wife and children to Daxia, where he controlled them and forced Sukhbaatar to work for him.

He knows how to grasp people's hearts.

If Sukhbaru was asked to do something that would harm the tribe, he might not comply. The cooperation he proposed would be of great benefit to the Chahar tribe.

This is why Sukhbaru is willing to cooperate with him.

Prince Qing's plan is about to come to an end, but Xiao Yunxi and Zhou Jin are completely unaware of it.

It took them five days to walk out of the forest, then they crossed two peaks and arrived at the edge of the mountains. They were shocked by the people who were everywhere in front of them.

"grown ups,"

"The county town is controlled by the northern barbarians. If we want to leave the mountains, we must get rid of them."

"Prince Qing is leading his troops in a field battle with the Northern Barbarians outside the city. Currently, the area around the city is still under the control of Daxia."

After finally crossing the mountains, thinking they were about to embrace a better life, they didn't expect to have to face the northern barbarians. And according to the news, it seemed that the northern barbarians were coming for Dabao.
