Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Xiao Fang, you can go back to your old job!"

After Shen Lanxi finished speaking, Xiao Fang immediately shouted excitedly.

"Brothers, follow me to make a fortune!"

Xiao Fang selected twenty people, changed their clothes and set off immediately.

Shen Yuanjing asked worriedly, "General, will something happen?"

Shen Lanxi: "Are you worried that they will be recognized?"

Shen Yuanjing nodded.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Even if he recognized me, what can I do?"

Shen Yuanjing's eyes slowly widened.

Half an hour later, Xiao Fang brought his men back to report.

"More than a dozen people were injured, but no one was killed!"

Shen Lanxi: "Let's go, and wait while we walk!"

"Yes!"

This time there was no need for anyone to urge them. Soon the marriage team ran like an arrow and quickly caught up with them.

"General Shen, wait a minute, wait for us!" Nie Shuanghai rode his horse at full speed to catch up with Shen Lanxi.

"General Shen, we were attacked by horse thieves."

Shen Lanxi was furious. "Who dares to attack the marriage team?"

Nie Shuanghai glanced at her, lowered his head quickly, and said truthfully: "They are dressed like foreigners, and we can't understand what they are saying!"

Shen Lanxi was furious: "These bold foreigners must want to sabotage this marriage. They are really ambitious!"

Xiao Fang and the others twitched their lips calmly.

Nie Shuanghai became nervous.

"General, we just left the capital not long ago, how can the foreigners be so bold?"

Shen Lanxi sighed and said earnestly: "The foreign races have calculated that our Great Zhou will fall apart. They want to sabotage the marriage and prevent it from ruining their alliance plan. When the time is right, they will definitely go south and continue to divide up our Central Plains!" The more she spoke, the more sad she became. This is what it means to worry about the country and the people.

Nie Shuanghai felt a sense of urgency: "If it is really like what the general said, then the foreign tribes will definitely not let us reach the northwest safely!"

Shen Lanxi: "Commander Nie is wise, that's what they planned. I guess our next journey will be difficult!"

Nie Shuanghai's heart immediately rose.

"General, what should we do?"

Shen Lanxi shook her head helplessly and sighed, "With just the people of us, two fists are no match for four hands. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Jialing Pass and will be buried on the way to the northwest!"

Nie Shuanghai was scared. His parents were old, his children were young, his wife was weak, and his brothers and sisters were still young. The whole family depended on him alone, so nothing could happen to him!

"General, is there no other solution?" Nie Shuanghai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Shen Lanxi said earnestly: "It's not that I can't do it, it's... you should go and talk to the other ministers!"

Nie Shuanghai saw that Shen Lanxi had something to say, and he did need to notify the marriage team. If the adults in the marriage team couldn't help, he would come to the general.

He could understand it, after all, General Shen was a woman, and she probably had never made a decision. When it came to something like this, they had to rely on men to make the decision.

Nie Shuanghai called a few officials from the Ministry of Rites to go find Zhou Yunyue together.

Zhou Yunyue felt like her internal organs were about to burst out. She hated Shen Lanxi so much, and blamed her for abandoning them. Otherwise, those horse thieves wouldn't have hurt so many of them.

Thinking of the bandits' arrogant words about kidnapping her, Zhou Yunyue couldn't stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.

"Princess, Commander Nie and the officials from the Ministry of Rites are here!" the palace maid reminded.

Zhou Yunyue quickly wiped away her tears. No, she couldn't let others see her like this. It would damage the royal dignity.

"Bring me the veil!"

"Yes!"

Nie Shuanghai told Zhou Yunyue about the foreign attack.

"Princess, I'm afraid our trip to the northwest will not be peaceful. We only have these people, and I'm afraid it's not enough. We have to ask the court for troops!"

Cao Ziling's face didn't look much better now. When he was running away in a panic, he was thrown off the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was not going fast and he fell on a small slope. He was just frightened and was not seriously injured.

"Princess, let's ask the local garrison to send someone to escort them!"

Zhou Yunyue's eyes flashed. She only dared to act arrogantly in the marriage team. Before, she said that she wanted to write a letter to her father, but she just said it casually because of her status as a princess. If she was really asked to write a letter, she would not dare!

"Do we need to have local troops stationed there to escort them? Do we need to report this to the imperial court?"

Nie Shuanghai was stunned, and answered honestly: "Of course I have to report it."

Zhou Yunyue's eyes moved, and he subconsciously straightened his back and said, "There are turmoil all over my country now, and we need to send troops to all places. There will definitely not be enough troops, so we won't bother stationing troops there."

Nie Shuanghai frowned: "Princess, what if we encounter another sneak attack from foreigners?"

Zhou Yunyue's eyes turned: "Isn't there Shen Lanxi? Isn't she the general who suppressed the rebellion? She must be very powerful, you guys go find her!"

The more she spoke, the more she felt that this was the way it should be, and her subsequent tone became even more justified.

"Shen Lanxi is responsible for escorting me to the northwest for marriage. If something happens on the way, it will be because she failed to provide adequate protection. Then I will tell my father that she is not worthy of the title of the great general who suppresses the rebellion!"

Nie Shuanghai cursed Zhou Yunyue in his heart and respectfully took his leave.

After leaving, he immediately found Shen Lanxi and told her exactly what Zhou Yunyue had said.

Shen Lanxi: "The princess has confidence in me, the great general who suppressed the rebellion. Commander Nie, let's go to a nearby city to rest for a day, and wait for my brother Fei to send a letter to the court to discuss the next steps. There are so many capable people in the court, they will definitely be able to share our worries!"

Nie Shuanghai really wanted to ask, are you sure?

It was not until the evening when the city gates were about to close that they finally arrived at Hailing City.

The court's reply came the next morning.

Emperor Renxiao wrote personally, ordering the local guards not to move, and allowing her to hire some people to escort her along the way!

As for the money for employment, no word was mentioned.

Without saying a word, Shen Lanxi took the imperial edict and ordered people to start hiring!

At the same time, several carrier pigeons and hawks flew towards Dongchuan and the northwest respectively!

Qian Feng, who had already arrived at Jialing Pass, immediately led a team of people towards Hailing City after receiving the letter.

With the imperial edict, they could be "hired" openly.

After receiving the letter from the flying eagle, several groups of people from Dongchuan dressed up as merchants and set off towards the northwest.

After five days in Hailing City, he recruited two hundred people with a large sum of money. It was only after Shen Lanxi offered a sky-high price of three hundred taels of silver that young and strong people were willing to sign up.

Some people in Hailing City have been spreading the news privately.

"Bullshit hiring, it's just conscripting men!"

"Heading to the northwest, what is the northwest? There's a war going on over there. Even if you get the money, you won't be able to spend it!"

"It would have been fine if I had given you the money back then!"

"Bullshit, this is the money to buy your life. Those who sign up must be in urgent need of money and have no other choice!"

"Remember the Wei Family Army? Do you want to become them?"

"Has any letter been sent back from those soldiers that the Northern Expedition Army took away from us in the past two years?"

Because of the three hundred taels, those who were ready to make a move instantly gave up the idea.
