The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

After Tao Anran returned to Xueji Courtyard, she took out her cash box.Open the cash box and look at the silver taels neatly placed inside.Tao Anran was a little stunned, unknowingly, he had already accumulated so much private money.The money box has also changed from a small money box to a big money box.

The biggest source of this money is the share of the cooperative business.My own tofu shop and kang repair engineering team did not make a lot of money.However, apart from personal consumption, you can also save a little money.

Now, with so much money, it should be enough for him to buy a big house, and he should be able to spend the rest of his life well with some savings.But he doesn't seem to need it.

Take out the whole pieces of silver, and the remaining bits of silver remain in the box at the bottom of the box.

Tao Anran was still a little bit reluctant to hand over the silver to Qian Mancang.However, he still watched Qian Mancang count against Yinliang with his own eyes, and then signed the IOU.After putting away the IOU, he watched Qian Mancang leave contentedly.Looking back at the empty cash box, there was a sigh.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingyu secretly vowed in his heart that in the future, he must let his princess have countless silver flowers.Be sure to put a few more cash boxes for the princess to enjoy.

And Tao Anran was thinking, this time her cash box had to be replaced with a small cash box.

......

Since the loan, Tao Anran and Qian Mancang's popsicle business has also done well.Only one point, the days continue to be hot, and I heard that some streams and rivers have dried up.

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu's busy life every day, and knew that the situation might not be good.All he could do was to remind Xiao Jingyu to eat and rest on time, so as not to exhaust his body.

Today, after Xiao Jingyu had breakfast, it was rare that he didn't go to deal with business immediately, but instead asked: "Of course, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Tao Anran looked at the sun outside, he didn't want to go out in this weather.However, he also knew that he was afraid of the heat, but there must be a reason for asking this question.

Tao Anran tentatively asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Jingyu didn't say it clearly, but said mysteriously: "You will know when you go."

Now Tao Anran's curiosity was completely aroused.He stayed in the mansion every day, and he was bored and panicked.Even if there is a big sun this time, he will go out for a trip.

So Tao Anran nodded and said, "Then I'll go. When are we going to leave?"

Xiao Jingyu immediately replied: "Right now, the carriage is ready. Let's go now."

Tao Anran didn't expect to be in such a hurry, he quickly asked: "Do you need to bring anything? Do you want someone to take it?"

Xiao Jingyu took his hand and replied, "You don't need to bring anything, you will have it when the time comes."

Since he said so, Tao Anran had no choice but to follow him into the carriage empty-handed.And there are not many people who go out this time.

The carriage drove fast all the way, and everything was fine in the city.After leaving the city, Tao Anran saw that the farmland and ditches on both sides of the road were dry.Some farmers are still digging ditches to accumulate water in the fields.

Seeing this, Tao Anran said, "My lord, there is really no water."

Xiao Jingyu also watched all this, and replied: "Well, the situation is not at its worst yet. Thanks to the waterwheel, the grain production has only been reduced. And because tofu is popular, many people have grown soybeans this year. This thing doesn't have a high demand for water. The people can hold on for now. Of course, it would be even better if it rained."

Tao Anran asked with some anxiety: "What if it doesn't rain yet?"

Xiao Jingyu touched Wang Hao's forehead and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the warehouse will be opened to release the grain at that time. Before the warehouse was full of money, I went to buy some grain and came back."

Tao Anran looked at those farmers who were frowning beside the farmland, and only hoped that there would be some rain from God.If the strong sun continues, not only will the farmland dry up, but drinking water for humans and animals will become a problem.

The carriage didn't stop all the way, and all the places he passed were places he had never been to.Tao Anran became curious about their destination.He asked Xiao Jingyu, but Xiao Jingyu didn't answer.After several hours, the carriage stopped in front of a farm yard.

When getting out of the car, Tao Anran was shaking his aching legs while looking at the closed farmyard.A very ordinary small courtyard, no different from the courtyards of ordinary people on the road.

The question marks in Tao Anran's head almost appeared.

That's it?

They worked hard against the sun, sat in a carriage for several hours, and finally came to such an ordinary courtyard.

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

Xiao Jingyu didn't notice Wang Hao's gaze, he went straight to the door and knocked on the door lightly and twice.A slit was immediately exposed at the door, and the people inside immediately opened the door to let people in after seeing the person coming.

After entering the door, Tao Anran saw two people in the house through the yard.One of them, he could tell at a glance that he was Qian Mancang, but he didn't know the other one, he was just wearing armor and carrying weapons, like a soldier.

They walked across the yard to the house, and the people in the house came out.Then Tao Anran saw the man clasped his fists and saluted and said, "This subordinate has seen the general."

Qian Mancang saluted and said, "I have seen the prince and princess."

In Junyanjun, Tao Anran knew that he was from the military camp after such a comparison.

Xiao Jingyu nodded, and then introduced: "Lieutenant Sun, this is the princess. Princess, this is Captain Sun Fen in the army."

Sun Fen immediately saluted and said hello: "I have seen the princess."

Tao Anran quickly replied: "Excuse me, Captain Sun, excuse me."

After meeting people, Tao Anran still didn't understand what they were doing here.But with the school lieutenant in the army, could it be that this is the secret base of the barracks.But apart from a few gatekeepers, he didn't see anyone else.

Several people entered the room together, and Xiao Jingyu asked, "Is the situation the same as usual this year?"

Sun Fen replied: "The spies report back, they are still in the same place as in previous years."

Qian Mancang also said: "The subordinate went there yesterday, and there is no major problem. It is just that people need more salt, so the subordinate specially brought more salt today."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, looked at the somewhat confused princess, and said, "Of course, you can rest here first, and I'll go change clothes."

Tao Anran nodded blankly, the more he listened to their conversation, the more he didn't understand.Are they going to sell salt?But is it necessary to change clothes?He looked at Xiao Jingyu's clothes, and then at his own, so he didn't have to change it?

As soon as Xiao Jingyu left, Tao Anran asked the familiar Qian Mancang: "Qian Mancang, what are we going to do?"

Qian Mancang was a little stunned, and he replied: "Princess, didn't the lord tell you?"

Tao Anran shook his head, asked him along the way, he only knew when he said it.Now here, he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Qian Mancang was not manly to say anything.Maybe the prince wanted to show the princess a little bit, if he said something, wouldn't it disturb the prince's interest.

Therefore, he closed his mouth tightly and only said: "Princess, you should ask the prince!"

Tao Anran looked dissatisfied, if he could ask, he wouldn't be so curious now.But seeing that Qian Mancang didn't know what to say, he turned his gaze to another person.

Tao Anran asked gently: "Lieutenant Sun, do you know what we are going to do?"

Sun Fen didn't look sideways, and replied sternly: "My lord, my subordinates are only responsible for protecting the safety of you and the general, and don't know about the rest."

Tao Anran became more and more curious.But seeing Xiaowei Sun's serious face and not daring to look at him, he couldn't ask any more questions.All of a sudden, I could only sit in the room boredly.

Seeing this, Qian Mancang graciously poured tea over, and Tao Anran drank the tea slowly and began to wait.After drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Jingyu still hadn't come out.Tao Anran was a little anxious.But it took so long to change clothes.

Tao Anran stood up, walked towards the back room, and shouted: "My lord, have you changed your clothes yet?"

After shouting twice but no one answered, various unexpected scenes flashed in Tao Anran's mind instantly.Although I know it's unlikely, I'm still a little worried.He rushed in in a hurry, not paying attention to the dissuasion of the people behind him.

While making a turn, Tao Anran bumped into a person.He rubbed his forehead and said, "My lord, since you are here, why don't you speak?"

The person in front of him didn't speak, he felt something was wrong, when he raised his head, he saw that it was a stranger.Tao Anran was dumbfounded, he blinked, it was indeed someone he had never seen before.

Oops, he got the wrong person.He quickly apologized: "Sorry, I bumped into you."

After speaking, he felt wrong again.He is a princess, and with his status here, there are usually people who salute him, why is this person silent.And he doesn't talk either.

The more Tao Anran looked at it, the more strange it became. This person's figure looked very familiar.Look at the face again, I don't know him.But if you cover your face and look from a distance, isn't this Xiao Jingyu?

Tao Anran tentatively called out: "My lord?"

The person in front of him still didn't respond, Tao Anran stared into his eyes, and then said: "My lord, stop playing. Aren't you going to take me for a stroll? If you don't leave, it will be dark."

The person in front of him still didn't speak, but Tao Anran had already made up his mind.Because he saw the familiar banter in the eyes of the person in front of him, it would be like this when Xiao Jingyu teased him in the past.And until now, neither Qian Mancang nor Sun Fen responded, so he knew that Xiao Jingyu was teasing him again.

But since he doesn't admit it, don't blame him for making a cruel move.

Tao Anran caught the tiger's butt by surprise.Xiao Jingyu's always calm face disappeared.He grabbed the troublesome hand and said helplessly, "Of course."

Now Tao Anran was proud, and said with a smile: "I told you not to answer me. You were caught by me. But, why is your face so different?"

Tao Anran looked closely at his face, and was about to touch it, but he was caught without touching it.

Seeing Wang Hao's curious look, Xiao Jingyu had no choice but to explain: "Of course, this is a human skin mask made by secret methods. If you pull hard, it will come off, and it will be useless."

"Human skin mask?" Tao Anran was surprised, there really was such a thing, the legendary artifact of disguise.He is now more and more curious about where they are going.Even Xiao Jingyu had to wear a mask to hide his identity.

But since he concealed his identity, should he change his outfit or something.Tao Anran thought about it, so she asked the question.

Xiao Jingyu replied: "Of course, you don't need to be so troublesome. You never travel far, and few people know you. You just need to wear a veil to cover it up."

Tao Anran nodded, and put on the cap she handed over.Immediately after getting ready, the group quickly left the farmyard.
