The queen is a bit cowardly

Jiang Qingluan walked around the vanguard army's barracks, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the fortifications in Bazaar. She is a person who is good at fighting, but at the same time, she is also a person who has suffered defeats. She sees things differently from ordinary generals , not to mention that Bazaar is still young, and may have participated in a battle on the grassland, but leading the army is somewhat different from charging.

The people here are all rune soldiers, Jiang Qingluan is the monarch first, and the second is the commander-in-chief. Of course, he walked around the camp a few times to get acquainted with the soldiers in the Shang camp.After about one stick of incense, the scouts who came back said that there was no one in Bazaar's group. Jiang Qingluan ordered the people to light the wolf smoke quickly, and then went back to the tent and waited quietly.

Bale was a little irritable. He thought that Bazaar was pretty good. At least in the eyes of the barbarians, he was so tall, brave in battle, and of good blood. It has become the standard of scrutiny. At least Bale feels that if Bazaar is in front of him now, he will definitely kick him in the face.

"Your Majesty, I always feel that something is wrong." Balak was a warrior in the tribe when he was young, and then he was defeated by the former king. Before that, he looked at Jiang Qingluan. He has fought on the battlefield for at least 30 years. If he said No, there is really something wrong.

"Say." Jiang Qingluan said.

"Afraid that Bazaar is in an ambush?" Ba Le explained, "Has he ever thought about who his opponent is?"

"Shangjing and Xin Guo have always been on good terms. This Baili County is lent to Gu, so it cannot be a soldier from Shangjing." Jiang Qingluan replied: "It may be from Fu Guo."

Ba Le nodded, and then said: "But your lord, let me ask you, which city is the closest city to here in Fu Kingdom?"

Jiang Qingluan clenched her fist, gritted her teeth and replied, "Fuyang City."

The lord of Fuyang City is hereditary to Lord Fuyang, and her queen is Lord Fuyang's niece. The current King Fu is the eldest son of Lord Fuyang, so he is his biggest enemy.

"Then... based on His Highness's understanding of Lord Fuyang, will he send someone here?"

Jiang Qingluan remembered that the old man was an extremely cowardly guy who only followed the instructions of his family members in all actions, and did not make decisions if he could not make a decision. It was precisely because of this that the family members used him so easily.If it was said that the team was sent by Lord Fuyang, Jiang Qingluan would never believe it, after all, the old man's principle is that less is worse than more.

"That was sent by Jiang Cheng?" Jiang Qingluan immediately denied his thoughts. He was not dead, and he had long been a thorn in Jiang Cheng's side. If they made a move, it must be a large army pressing in. The army with less than 200 people is not Jiang Cheng. style of the city.

"So, you're not from our country?" Jiang Qingluan asked.

Ba Le sat down beside Jiang Qingluan, nodded, and said, "Just now I also inspected the camp, and found that there is a lot of food stored here."

"Before the cold dew, I asked Zhu Wan'er to pull some over." Jiang Qingluan said, after all, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This place is located in the north, and it is on a high mountain. If the mountain is blocked by ice and snow, the food will not be able to enter at all.

"In my opinion, this group of people should be looking for food." Barr said.

"That is to say, the bazaar is going to be empty, and this place will become a battlefield after a while?" Jiang Qingluan said, cursing silently in his heart, damn it. After a while, I will really fight, I am afraid that I will be wasting time again.

Bale didn't know that Jiang Qingluan was thinking of Chang Lan, but the king lost confidence again. After the defeat, Jiang Qingluan became extremely cautious and cautious in everything he did.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are enough people in the camp, and this is our territory. No matter what kind of attack, we will only win but not lose." Barr said.

Jiang Qingluan thought again, if Chang Lan knew that she was in such a situation, she would definitely be worried again. Now that she was at home in Baili County, if she was worrying about her own heart, Jiang Qingluan would not listen to Bale's words.

"If there is a real attack today, you must not send the news back to the county."

Ba Le was taken aback, looked at Jiang Qingluan's serious face, and asked back: "Your Highness, if you... don't pass this information back, who will come for reinforcements? How can you warn others?"

"In short, don't send it back." Jiang Qingluan got up, and she pointed outside the tent: "Since you speculate that someone is coming to grab the food, let's go out and arrange a good defense. The wolf smoke has been burning for so long, and Bazaar has never come back."

Looking at the background of Jiang Qingluan leaving in a hurry, Baler naturally wouldn't know that Jiang Qingluan was afraid of his wife, and if he knew, he would definitely give her a word of love.

After the two went out of the tent, Bala quickly summoned the officers and soldiers in the battalion and put them on the defensive.Jiang Qingluan also found a corner and picked up the whetstone to prepare for a possible battle.

In the far distance of the camp, Baza's group really missed out. After the scouts came back, they said they had found a place where the other party camped. There were about twenty campfires, but they only saw two teams of people, barely 20 people. He's not stupid, he knew he had been tricked as soon as he heard it, and when he turned back and walked towards the camp, he saw the wolf smoke again, and then he speeded up and went back...

Changfu of Baili County

The rest was decided on a temporary basis, but they didn't let them indulge for too long. Jiang Qingluan went to the Pioneer Camp, and Chang Lan also returned to the mansion to continue handling official duties, but the mood at this time was very different. If there was no expectation, then start Things are normal, one after another, in short, things can never be finished, but when there is expectation in the heart, the word "lost" will be added. I was expecting the two to live a simple day, but the result was separation again. She was looking at Qingluan in peace, but she was called to the front line, which made Chang Lan feel at ease.

"Princess, are you in a bad mood?" Zhu Wan'er sat aside and asked, it was already Youshi, but the two women were still busy with their affairs.

"No." Zhu Wan'er knew about her and Jiang Qingluan's affairs, so she also said bluntly, "I'm worried about Your Highness."

"Your Highness is very powerful, and the vanguards are all members of the Tata tribe. That tribe has always been brave, and they are accompanied by Bale warriors." Zhu Wan'er said: "Princess, don't worry."

Chang Lan had just put her mind away, and then looked at the files in front of her. They were piled up into hills after not being sorted for a day. Of course, Baili County is not as good as Tianping. In Tianping City, most of the documents are made of cloth and silk, but here they are bamboo slips. Most of them, the ones piled up are even higher, Chang Lan pressed her brows, and asked Ah Li to pass some qi-invigorating soup.

In terms of replenishing qi, the pigeons from Baili County are quite famous, and adding a little astragalus in Zuo Yidang is enough to moisten the soup. The soup boiled for two hours. When Ah Li delivered it, Chang Lan was still writing official documents. He hangs his hands and calculates something, as if he is planning an abacus, but there is no abacus.

Ah Li knew that he should not bother at this time, but he was afraid that the soup would be cold, so he put the soup in front of the two of them separately, and retreated quietly. Although Ah Li was a slave, she was really different from ordinary slaves. She was born in Xiajing Gongqing, She also knows how to read and read some female virtues, and also knows a little bit about flower arrangement and female calligraphy and painting.The nanny in Chang Lan Palace is very strict and doesn't look good towards A Li, but Chang Lan is different. Men have school attendants, so Chang Lan asks A Li to be her attendant. What does Chang Lan learn from A Li? As far as what to study, although she is not as smart as Chang Lan in learning, she is not as pedantic as other girls who have been raised. She may have some opinions on the world, but she never speaks because of her status.

Now A Li sees Chang Lan and Zhu Wan'er working hard in front of the case, and he feels a lot of feelings in his heart. He is not only good at serving soup and tea. Chang Lan is now trapped between the cases, and all he can do is pass Spread the word to cook soup.

Seeing Tang coming, Chang Lan took the initiative to put down what she was doing and let Zhu Wan'er take a rest.

Wan'er looked down at the soup, the soup was milky white, and smelling the medicine in the soup, she felt much more refreshed.

"But Ah Li's craftsmanship?" Wan'er asked.

A Li waved his head: "After the chef made it, I will pass on the word."

Chang Lan put a small spoonful of soup into her mouth. This master was brought from Tianping City by her, so the craftsmanship is naturally not bad.

"Why doesn't Ah Li drink?" Chang Lan saw Ah Li kneeling and sitting beside him, as if he was always at his beck and call.Ali was not like this in the past, masters and servants were different, but Ali still had a share in such trivial matters as drinking soup.

"No." Ah Li blushed a little: "It's my duty to serve the princess well."

Chang Lan smiled and replied, "Ah Li, I do things with confidence. Without you, I wouldn't have time to feel at ease about these things."

"The princess has Ah Li, which makes me envious." Zhu Wan'er said, "My Zhu family is considered a big name in Huiguo, and I don't have such a capable helper."

"Where is the helper, it's just a small slave." A Li said with his head down.

"Bengong has never treated you as a slave." Chang Lan put down the soup bowl and said, "Ah Li is my right-hand man."

"Speaking of slaves, I have something to say." Zhu Erwan also put down the soup bowl with a serious expression on her face.

"Go ahead."

Zhu Wan'er sorted out the files on her desk and placed them in front of Chang Lan by category. They were roughly divided into three parts. Zhu Wan'er said, "Now there are three things related to slaves. Please let the princess decide."

Pointing to the first pile of files, Zhu Wan'er said, "This is about taxation. Baili County, Fuyin County, and An County have different taxes on slave trading. In fact, Baili County is the highest and Fuyin County is the lowest. A few days ago Some people from Baili County went to Fuyin County to buy slaves, and because the quantity they purchased was too high, the slave merchants in Baili County were dissatisfied, and private fights arose."

Chang Lan was a little puzzled and asked: "The taxation is uniform across the country, why is it different for slaves?"

Zhu Wan'er replied: "This used to be a territory belonging to the clan, and it was established according to the patriarchal law, not the law of the country."

"So it's feasible to change to national law now?"

Zhu Wan'er said: "Progress should be difficult, after all the patriarchal clan has been practiced for a hundred years."

"If it's difficult, you have to do it. Wait for Your Highness to come back..." Originally, she had put Qingluan aside temporarily in her busy schedule, but when it was brought up again, Chang Lan sighed when she thought about Jiang Qingluan's safety.

"How is your Highness coming back?" Zhu Wan'er asked.

Sitting upright, Chang Lan said: "When His Highness comes back, bring the soldiers to talk about the matter, if it doesn't work, it's fine."

"What about the remaining two?" Chang Lan continued.

"The remaining two cases are one lawsuit, and the other is a major event, both of which are related to slaves."

"speak."
