Chapter 289 Hanzi Tea
"So it's Miss Duan. You've been living in the border area, so you don't know that there are rules in the capital. I'm afraid you need to learn more in the future. After all, the prince is the prince, not an ordinary citizen. If everyone around the prince has no rules, it will be a mess."
"Are you talking about General Duan?"
Ye Jintang looked at Duan Feng again.
"Your Majesty is right. Without rules, there will be no order. I will definitely teach Linghui well in the future."
"Okay, in the future when we go to the fiefdom or other places, the generals will be rewarded according to their merits. If there are no rules and everything is done according to the prince's preferences, I think the generals will not accept it."
"Similarly, if everyone in the palace doesn't follow the rules, I, as the princess, will not be able to manage the palace well."
"That's what the Queen said."
Duan Feng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Ye Jintang again. What could he say? Was it normal for his sister to call Xiao Mo "Brother Xiao"?
It would be fine if we called them that at the border, as no one among us grown men would care about it.
But it's different now. Xiao Mo is a prince, and his sister is just an ordinary citizen. Calling the prince "brother"? To put it in a serious way, it is disrespectful and will be punished by a beating.
"You guys talk first. I just performed surgery on a few guards and haven't washed my hands yet."
Ye Jintang just tapped the Duan brothers and sisters lightly, said no more, and left with Luzhu.
Today she was warning Duan Linghui to put away her little thoughts. Maybe Xiao Mo couldn't see it, but she had been through so many things, so she still had the ability to taste tea.
The chariot team suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the Xirong people.
In particular, the carriage of Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang was damaged and could not be used. The two could only temporarily squeeze into a slightly smaller carriage to leave the valley.
"How about we rest for a day in the town ahead? I see you're a little tired."
When Xiao Mo saw Ye Jintang closing her eyes to rest as soon as she got on the carriage, he thought she was frightened by the Xirong people just now. However, he didn't know that Ye Jintang was still unhappy about what happened to Duan Linghui just now.
Is Xiao Mo a wooden man? He can't hear the tea flavor in Duan Linghui's words.
"No, our carriage needs major repairs, so it's better to head to Jianing City as soon as possible."
Only big cities could build a carriage for two of them. Even if small cities had the wood, they probably wouldn't be able to find suitable craftsmen.
"We are not far from Ningchuan Prefecture and should be able to arrive in early December."
Xiao Mo also kept watching the time, fearing that he would be delayed on the road.
They stayed in Nanping City for several more days, and then they had to travel at full speed. If there was no suitable camping spot, they would even travel at night.
"We can't be too strict with the time limit. Just like today, many people in the team were injured, which will definitely affect our speed. We won't be able to speed up for at least the next 6 or 7 days."
Although Xiao Mo didn't want to admit it, what Ye Jintang said was the truth.
There has been no movement from Zhou Quankun, and he will launch a sneak attack on them sooner or later.
If we encounter bandits or horse bandits on the road, it will probably delay us for a long time.
It seems that time is still quite tight.
"Jintang, you are not still upset about Linghui, are you? She is just a simple-minded country girl. Why are you angry with her? I have just asked Aunt Zhang for a nanny to teach Linghui some rules. I guarantee that she will behave herself in front of you in the future and will not make any jokes."
After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Ye Jintang was too lazy to explain. If she said too much now, it would seem that she was not generous enough. So she would teach Xiao Mo what green tea was.
"I'm tired. I need to take a rest."
As he spoke, Ye Jintang leaned back on the soft pillow and wanted to go into the space to take a look.
"Jintang, can you help me check the injury on my shoulder? I just shot an arrow and my shoulder feels a little uncomfortable."
Ye Jintang, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.
"You won't tear your previous wounds again, right? Your previous injuries have almost healed."
Ye Jintang was startled and quickly took Xiao Mo's pulse to see what was going on.
"It's okay, it's okay. Judging from the pulse, there's nothing serious. I guess the previous injury hasn't healed completely yet. You used a little too much force when shooting the arrow just now."
"Hey, I told you not to touch the sword, but you didn't listen to me."
While talking, Ye Jintang took out the medicated oil and gently applied it on Xiao Mo's shoulder. In order to make his shoulder heal faster, she gave him a pill with spring water.
"I didn't touch the sword, I touched the bow."
"But having said that, your archery skills have improved really fast. It has only been a short time since you started learning archery, but you can actually shoot the Xirong archer from such a distance."
"Didn't you shoot it, too?"
Ye Jintang didn't feel that she was that powerful. She shot at the target in space and almost hit the target every time. It was not difficult for her to hit the Xirong archer.
"I shot the Xirong archer purely by feeling. Do you know how old I was when I started learning archery?"
Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang speechlessly.
"I started learning archery from the palace's archery master when I was five years old. At that time, I was not even as big as a bow, so the archery master made me a small bow that was suitable for me."
"Over the years, I have practiced archery almost every day, rain or shine, except for the time when I was back in the capital, when I practiced a little less."
"And I have a lot of practical experience on the battlefield. The arrow that hit the Xirong archer was all based on my many years of experience. What about you?"
"You've only studied for a few days, but you're actually the same as me. How can I not be surprised?"
"I was just relying on my senses. We were quite far away from each other, and I only saw a corner of the bow and arrow. I'm not sure where the person was."
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo with a guilty conscience.
She couldn't tell Xiao Mo that her five senses were much stronger than those of ordinary people because she often drank spiritual spring water.
Although she was quite far away from the archer, she could still see his every move very clearly and had no pressure at all to shoot him.
As the two of them talked, Ye Jintang forgot about time. When the carriage stopped to rest, she realized that half an afternoon had been wasted in their conversation.
The total number of Xiao Mo's original troops, plus the troops that came to support them, is already more than 160.
With so many people setting up tents to rest, the noise was quite loud.
Xiao Mo’s royal tent was the first to be set up.
"Hey, why isn't my tent set up?"
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo's tent and found that there was no tent next to hers, which made her feel very strange.
"We have too many people. If we all squeeze together, we won't need to set up so many tents."
"Ah."
Although she was not very willing in her heart, she did not object.
There are always all kinds of unexpected things happening when camping outdoors. It’s okay to squeeze in with Xiao Mo. Anyway, his tent is big enough and there is no problem putting two beds in it.
Everyone was busy setting up tents, making fires, and all were busy.
Ye Jintang took Lu Zhu to visit the injured guards and war horses.
