Chapter 47 War Letter

When Mu Qiulan saw Xiao Jingchen for the first time, his smile was not a sneer, nor one of those weird smiles that make people feel suffocated, but relaxed and comfortable. You can tell from his smile that he is in a good mood.

Of course, even if he was in a good mood at the moment, he might not be in the right mood the next moment, so Mu Qiulan didn't dare to relax for a moment.

"Do you have any tea?" Xiao Jingchen looked at her and said, "I am thirsty."

There is no good tea here. Mu Qiulan only said: "My maid, the tea here is coarse, and I dare not give it to the prince to drink. Your lord, please sit down for a moment, and the maid will go and make tea."

It was a bit far from the tea room, so she had to say hello to Xiao Jingchen in advance, after all, she would definitely not be able to get a drink for a while.

"No need!" Xiao Jingchen said, "I will drink what you call 'rough tea'."

Mu Qiulan: "..."

"yes!"

She turned back to the room, took out the teapot on the table, poured a cup and handed it to Xiao Jingchen: "Your Majesty, please."

Xiao Jingchen took the cup of tea and saw that the tea soup was amber in color. In addition to the aroma of tea, there was also a light medicinal smell.

He frowned, put down the tea cup and asked, "What kind of tea is this? Why is it cold?"

"This is a kind of tea prepared by the maid in the hot summer to relieve heat and quench thirst. It's called 'Babao Herbal Tea'. It contains silver flowers, bamboo leaves, forsythia, vines, agastache, mountain gardenia, rose, and wolfberry.

There is no need to boil this tea when drinking it, it is best to drink it cool like this."

After Mu Qiulan finished speaking, she realized that this was just something she had prepared for herself. Xiao Jingchen was afraid that he was not used to drinking it, so he added: "If the prince wants to drink something hot, my maid will cook it."

"It's not necessary!" Xiao Jingchen looked at the tea and did not drink it immediately. This was because others had tried the food and tea he usually had.

He can't completely trust this girl yet.

Mu Qiulan looked at his hesitation and understood instantly. She said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

After that, he entered the room, came out again, took out a silver needle from a brocade bag, tested the poison of the tea, poured another cup and drank it before saying to Xiao Jingchen: "Your Highness, you can drink it with confidence.

"

Xiao Jingchen then picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste... was a bit strange, but it was indeed refreshing in the mouth and had a slight aftertaste.

"Why is there still a fruity aroma in this?"

"That's Tangli!" Mu Qiulan pointed to the fruit-laden Tangli tree in the corner of the courtyard.

"Tangli nourishes the lungs and clears the heart, so I picked two and boiled them together, which made them sweeter."

Xiao Jingchen nodded and drank all the tea in the cup.

"I didn't expect that your little courtyard would hide so many good things."

Mu Qiulan said: "Although it is a good thing, it is also an inconspicuous thing. Only those who can't eat will pick such fruits to satisfy their hunger. Qianzhou is rich in products, and ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing, let alone in this palace.

No one cares about these things."

Jamel Xiao smiled and said: "I think that the more inconspicuous something is, the more surprising it may be."

Mu Qiulan didn't know the profound meaning of his words, but she didn't dare to think too much at the moment.

"Okay, I still have official business to deal with, so I won't stay any longer." Xiao Jingchen said and stood up.

Mu Qiulan stepped forward and wanted to go with him. After all, she was the maid in Xiao Jingchen's room and had to be at her service at all times.

"Just rest!" Xiao Jingchen said, "You don't have to come over today."

"Yes!" Mu Qiulan felt that Xiao Jingchen was very different today, much more easy-going.

Xiao Jingchen said as he walked: "In half a month, I will come back to taste the wine you brewed."

"..."

Mu Qiulan looked at his figure disappearing outside the hospital with a blank look on her face, feeling that the sun really came out in the west today...

On the school field, the soldiers were sweating profusely during training. July in the north is gradually getting colder, but in the south it is still scorching hot.

The weather today is extremely sultry and it seems like a heavy rain is brewing.

Zhuang Wan wrapped her entire head in a scarf, leaving only her two eyes. It was only because of her full armor that she was protected from being sunburnt.

Every time Bai Qilang would laugh at him, saying that she looked like a peasant woman working in the fields.

Zhuang Wancai was too lazy to pay attention to him. Her skin was very sensitive. If she got sunburned, it would leave deep sunburns that would not go away in a year or two.

Like Bai Qilang, his skin was originally quite fair, but it was tanned to a wheat color, which shows that the sun is very poisonous.

Suddenly, a rapid trumpet sound sounded in the camp, and everyone stopped, only to see soldiers hurried around.

Pang Ao, Han Wei and others looked solemn.

"Urgent report!" A soldier quickly ran across the school grounds and headed towards Xiao Jingchen's tent.

"What's going on?" Chen Wujin said, "Is there going to be a war?"

"Shut your crow mouth!" Bai Qilang glared at him.

Laiji was so frightened that his legs went weak: "Is this... so fast?"

Yan Cheng secretly clenched the spear in his hand with a determined gaze.

I have finally waited for this day!

Zhuang Wan couldn't help but lean towards him, thinking that from now on she would be completely protected by the villain.

Pang Ao and Han Wei looked at each other and ordered their soldiers to return to camp. The other generals also followed suit. The war was about to break out. It was time to prepare...

I don't know if it was because of drinking the Babao herbal tea, but Xiao Jingchen felt very comfortable and took a nice nap.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and soon there was a strong wind and thunder.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the wind blowing around the gauze curtains, as if the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Cheng's urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mr. Rong is here, saying there is an urgent military situation!"

…

Rong Li presented the letter of war together with the arrowheads sent by Nanyi people to shoot at the tower.

Xiao Jingchen looked at it and said coldly: "Three days later? This Motu really can't hold it anymore."

Rong Li said: "Although this battle will be fought sooner or later, the newly recruited soldiers in the army have only been training for more than three months. I'm afraid..."

"I have never counted on them." Xiao Jingchen put on his robe and said, "Call Han Wei, Pang Ao and other military generals to discuss matters."

"They are already waiting in the tent."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Rong Li opened the door and met Mu Qiulan holding tea outside.

Xiao Jingchen stared at her: "Why are you here?"

"When my maid saw Mr. Rong coming, she came to serve tea."

"No need!" Xiao Jingchen said, walked a few steps and turned back to warn her: "Remember, you are not allowed to leave the house!"

After that, he and Rong Li left in a hurry.

Seeing that his expression was stern and his tone was as cold as usual, Mu Qiulan thought that he was indeed moody.

Zhuang Wan looked at the pouring rain outside with mixed feelings. She heard that the battalions were already mobilizing troops, and soon it would be their turn as new recruits. She didn't know whether they would serve as frontline troops or as follow-up reinforcements.

Chen Wujin and the others have never seen this formation. Thinking about the ruthless swords on the battlefield, their usual heroic words are somewhat lacking in confidence at this time.

Only Yan Cheng was filled with excitement...
