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

Under Shen Lanxi's intentional manipulation, Qian Feng and others were hired by her in Fengbo Town and officially became members of the marriage team.

"General, are we still going by water?" Shen Yuanjing asked.

Shen Lanxi said without looking away: "There are pirates on the water today. For the princess's safety, let's continue to take the land route!"

Ban Sicao now understood what the words meant. The story about the pirates was all made up by her.

"What if the court sends someone to investigate?"

Xiao Fang glanced at Ban Sicao with amusement: "What else can we do? At worst, we can just make it happen!"

The horse thieves have done it, the rebels have done it, the spies have done it, and not just the water bandits!

Ban Sicao silently gave a thumbs up to everyone!

"It should be cold in Dongchuan at this season, right?" Shen Lanxi suddenly asked.

Cheng Zheng wrote in a few words: "When Zhou's people arrive, it will snow!"

When Xiao Fang thought of Dongchuan's bone-freezing coldness, he felt a chill all over his body.

“I hope the northwest isn’t so cold!”

That's hard to say, but fortunately last year she had ordered people to plant cotton on a large scale and harvested a lot of charcoal. When she arrived in the northwest, at least she wouldn't have to worry about heating problems.

Arriving at Fengbo Town, Shen Lanxi immediately took out the imperial edict and began recruiting guards with great fanfare.

Zhou Yunyue became much more obedient, and did not cause any more trouble until he left Fengbo Town.

Afterwards, Shen Lanxi personally drew the route and arranged the soldiers who came from Dongchuan into the marriage team in the name of guards.

As the number of soldiers increased, Nie Shuanghai noticed something strange.

Most of these people were martial artists, and they never approached them. They seemed to come from the same place, huddling together for warmth, and it was difficult for outsiders to integrate into the group.

He didn't dare tell these words to anyone else, he kept them all in his heart and pretended that no one knew.

At night, carrier pigeons flew out one by one, but he pretended that he was deaf and blind and didn't see them.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites also realized that something was wrong. The number of guards they recruited was too large. All the guards added together almost caught up with the number of the Imperial Guards guarding the imperial city.

There are a total of ten thousand Royal Guards guarding the Imperial City. Although the total number is less than two thousand now, the recruitment speed is expected to increase soon.

"General Shen, the marriage team has its own standards and we cannot exceed them. Otherwise, the court will blame us and we will have no way to explain to the court!" Cao Ziling said with his neck stiff.

Shen Lanxi did not refute, but asked: "Are you sure?"

Cao Ziling's eyebrows twitched. He felt like there was something stuck in his throat and it was difficult to answer this question.

She turned to look at the other two people: "Zheng, Zhu, do you two think these people are enough?"

Zheng Qiao and Zhu Ju'an hesitated and did not dare to answer this question.

"So you're not sure, but you want me to stop recruiting guards. My three lords, I will write down every word you say and report it to His Majesty!"

Cheng Zheng was writing furiously on the side.

Cao Ziling's heart hardened, and he said in a cold and disdainful voice: "This is the territory of our Great Zhou. Foreigners will never dare to invade here with a big fanfare."

Shen Lanxi: "Everyone has heard it. Since Lord Cao has given his full guarantee, then stop recruiting guards."

"Cheng Zheng, don't forget to write down Lord Cao's words, word for word. Before submitting it to His Majesty, have Lord Cao personally confirm the contents."

Cheng Zheng nodded.

Cao Ziling's face darkened and he was speechless for a long time.

The escort team of more than 2,000 people set off again. Although the court did not have to pay for the recruited guards, it could not fail to provide them with food and fodder!

“We should ask for food and fodder from the imperial court just as the Prince of Zhennan did before. I believe that with the precedent of the Prince of Zhennan, we don’t have to worry about the process.” Shen Lanxi pressed down on the official in charge of food and fodder.

The officials in charge of grain and fodder were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.

At the beginning, their marriage team had only 500 people. When they left the capital, they brought some supplies with them. When they arrived at a town, they could ask the local government to make purchases with the documents issued by the court. The money was first paid by the local government, and then reported to the higher authorities, and then distributed to the local government.

With more than a thousand people suddenly having to provide for their needs, how could the local government be willing to provide them?

To put it bluntly, the Prince of Zhennan is the Prince of Zhennan. He is a prince and the son of the dragon, so Your Majesty will naturally give him convenience.

What is Shen Lanxi? She is nothing, at most she is just a person who sends the princess to marry.

Doesn’t she know what the current situation in the court is?

How could the imperial court be willing to provide food and drink for more than a thousand people at once?

Isn't this making things difficult for him as the grain officer?

"General, what if the locals are unwilling to give it?" the forage officer asked with gritted teeth.

Shen Lanxi: "Then they are spies who want to sabotage the marriage. Spies should be killed without mercy!"

All the officials were shocked.

She is a woman, and she is always fighting and killing. How can it be disgraceful?

The grain officer had to bite the bullet and go to the local government to ask for grain and fodder.

After days of traveling, Zhou Yunyue finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill.

"The princess is depressed and has been traveling for days without eating properly and getting enough rest, so she fell ill!" said the accompanying imperial physician after taking her pulse!

Shen Lanxi: "Will it delay the trip?"

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "That won't happen, but if you don't take good care of yourself, your condition may get worse!"

Shen Lanxi: "Then let's keep going!"

Zhou Yunyue's face turned pale, and her heart felt like it was on fire. After hearing what Shen Lanxi said, she could no longer hold back and stood up, yelling at her: "Shen Lanxi, you want to kill me."

Shen Lanxi: "That's not the case. If you can't hold on, you can tell me in advance. Then I will let the maidservant beside you take your place in the marriage."

Zhou Yunyue couldn't believe her ears. She said angrily, "Shen Lanxi, how dare you let someone pretend to be of royal blood? What are you thinking!"

Shen Lanxi said with a smile: "I am considering your health! After all, you are a royal princess. The journey to the west is long. If you die on the way, I will not be able to explain to the court!"

Zhou Yunyue's eyes widened: "You know you have no way to explain, and you still dare to do this to me?"

Tsk tsk, it can only be said that Zhou Yunyue still can’t see the situation clearly.

"Your main mission is to marry into the imperial court. If you die on the way, I will have to find someone to complete the marriage on your behalf. I cannot let Da Zhou down, so I can only let you down!"

Zhou Yunyue stared for a long time, feeling cold all over.

What does she mean?

She is the Princess of the Great Zhou. Shen Lanxi is dreaming to replace her with a lowly maid!

"Zhou Yunyue, wake up. You are not still dreaming about being a princess, are you?" Shen Lanxi ruthlessly shattered Zhou Yunyue's last bit of fantasy.

"Throughout history, how many princesses have sacrificed themselves for the imperial court to marry foreign princesses? Do you think those emperors would be willing to let their own daughters marry them?"

"That's you!"
