The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

The king of the Eastern princes' smile froze, and he immediately stood up reluctantly.

"I accept the decree."

Sima Ji told Emperor Jing's intention, "...the king of the Eastern princes is close to the eastern border. If something unexpected happens during this friendship and marriage, Ma Ji, the Warring States Company, can borrow all the troops and horses of the King of the Eastern princes to meet the foreign enemy without any excuses." By extension..."

The king of the Eastern princes smiled and agreed to the decree.

Then, without any confusion, he said, "Mr. Warring States, didn't our Dajing Kingdom agree to a marriage? Why do we need to borrow troops and horses? But what's the secret?"

Sima Ji said, "It's not a secret, it's just a precaution! The emperor who is marrying this time is not the Mingde Emperor. The emperor has said that the Dachong Kingdom wants to marry, and we from the Dajing Kingdom send an emperor with royal blood. Ji, in the past, everyone was the same, and they couldn't do whatever they wanted in the Dajing Kingdom. So what kind of people do they think of our Dajing Kingdom as easy to bully? If they even want to find fault with this, then what will happen to this war? , which means fighting is inevitable! Anyway, it’s better to be prepared with both hands.”

He said it lightly.

After hearing this, the King of the Eastern Princes nodded repeatedly, "What the Warring States Official said makes sense. Your Majesty made a wise decision, and we can't let those savage barbarians make arbitrary demands. Now, we, the Eastern Princes, don't have many troops in this three-thirds of an acre of land, but the Warring States Period If you want to borrow it, we are obligated to do so!"

After saying that, he said very sincerely, "My side is close to the eastern border. If the Dalong Kingdom attacks, our eastern princes will also be in danger. It will be the people on my side who will suffer. Therefore, I personally will not Those who really don’t want to fight can live in peace, but of course, if our emperor wants to fight, we must obey the emperor’s orders!”

Sima Ji nodded, "That's good. I can see the loyalty of King Donghou. How many troops do you have?"

King Dong Hou replied, "I have three thousand energy. If I can barely scrape together, I can get five thousand."

Sima Ji said oh.

King Dong Hou quickly explained, "I usually don't dare to station more troops, for fear that some people will sue the emperor. There is another reason. In recent years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, and the people's lives have been difficult. We have to go to the capital every year to pay tribute. Taxes can’t support much of the army.”

Sima Ji looked at him with a half-smile.

King Dong Hou kept smiling apologetically despite the pressure of his gaze, "This time the Emperor Ji is getting married, I will personally go to see it off. To show my loyalty, I hope that Duke Warring States will put in a good word for me in front of the Emperor after he returns to Beijing! "

"Easy to say."

King Dong Hou said again, "Can you please let me see and marry Emperor Ji? I have prepared some maids for Emperor Ji. Emperor Ji is delicate and grew up in the capital. She may not adapt to the climate and environment here. I I have specially arranged some manpower for Di Ji to use. I can't help you with big things, so I can only help with these small things..."

Sima Ji didn't stop him either.

He insisted on seeing He Qin Di Ji and let him see her.

After a while, Fu Diji was invited over.

When King Donghou came to see Di Ji, Di Ji came to Fu and made her posture high.

She was raised by Chang Diji as if she were her own daughter. She has been in a high position since she was a child and has been an arrogant person. She doesn't need to pretend to be that arrogant.

King Dong Hou smiled and brought the maid over and presented it to Laifu Emperor Ji.

Laifu Diji did not refuse and accepted it directly.

Sima Ji didn't say anything next to him. At most, he was just an eyeliner around Laifu Diji.

Laifu Diji is confused herself, and it is difficult for others to find out anything.

Jiang Mingyue saw all this in space.

She couldn't say much about this short and stocky Donghou King at the moment, and she didn't know much about him in her memory.

Let's take a step by step.

Now the marriage team has grown a bit stronger.

She and her uncle were acting more cautiously.

With King Donghou as our guide, our journey was a little faster.

He was familiar with this terrain, so he took a shortcut and walked for about four or five days before reaching the eastern border with Dalong Country.

Finally reached the destination.

There is a small city on the border called Caomu City.

It is the land bordering the Dalong Kingdom.

The guard of this small town was so anxious that his hair turned white. Finally, the marriage team arrived.

There were only a thousand soldiers in Caomu City, and they were trembling in the face of the army outside the city.

I was afraid that one of them would get impatient and rush into the city.

The common people living on the border were often robbed in the middle of the night, and all their livestock were robbed. The rural people living on the border who guarded the city had all moved to the rear. If there was anything wrong, they would have died in vain. A group of people.

Now that the marriage team has arrived, the heavy burden on his shoulders is relieved.

Report the situation quickly, arrange accommodation, etc.

Sima Ji's men had come over secretly a long time ago. He already knew exactly what was going on, so it was better to listen to his report.

King Donghou was also present to listen.

When he heard something was too much, he would bang the table and get angry.

"These barbarians are so unreasonable and dare to harass the people! It's simply outrageous."

Sima Ji remained silent.

Get settled first.

Handling daily affairs, writing documents, first meeting with the leaders of both parties, and then agreeing on the wedding date and other matters.

Everything goes smoothly.

Jiang Mingyue arrived at Caomu City and rested in the room assigned to her.

Recharge your batteries.

In the dead of night, a man in black came to look for her.

It was her third uncle Sima Ji.

The two made an agreement to do things in the middle of the night.

First go to the Zhanzi Army's hiding spot and hand over the rations to them.

Jiang Mingyue could see at night, and Sima Ji was a strong martial artist and could see at night very well. The two of them walked quickly without even using a torch.

After running for more than ten miles, they met up with the Zhanzi Army at a secluded spot in the mountains and forests.

After some contact, Jiang Mingyue discovered that the Zhan Zi Army numbered more than the ten thousand as rumored.

It is estimated that there are more than 20,000 people.

She was a little surprised and confused, and Sima Ji said, "We recalled some veterans along the way."

"I see." This way, the chances of winning are even greater.

Jiang Mingyue took out all the military rations she had hidden before, and also took out all the food in her own space.

He said to Sima Ji, "Third uncle, the food grown in my space tastes better and is good for your health. You can mix it with your military rations. I will leave some spiritual spring water for the soldiers to drink to keep fit... …”

Sima Ji nodded, "Okay, I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone in the Zhan Zi Army."

"Third uncle, there's no need to be polite to me."

The Zhanzi Army was already very strong, and if she had the help of space food and spiritual spring water, even if they were 20,000 strong, they wouldn't necessarily lose if they fought against the 50,000 Da Rong Army head-on.

But you still have to be careful.

The Great Rong Country should also be prepared! Maybe there is some shady thing going on secretly, or some underhanded tactics are possible.
