Chapter 156: News from overseas
across the ocean
Xuhe knew that Qin Xingfu had woken up, but he was a little anxious because he hadn't caught Liu Bang yet. Jianglu was inevitably affected as well.
"Xuhe, how come these people are harder to catch than rabbits? Why don't we set them on fire? Burn them to death."
"But, His Majesty said that he must be captured alive. It would be nice if we could watch from a high altitude."
Xuhe thought of the plane Qin Xingfu mentioned. If she hadn't been unconscious, they would have gone back long ago.
"We are running low on food."
As the commander-in-chief, Jianglu is most aware of the army's food consumption every day. The longer it takes without catching these people, the more disadvantaged they will be, especially now that winter is approaching.
"Your Majesty and the Lord will think of it. We just need to be more careful about the enemy's sneak attacks and poisoning."
I almost caught him several times before, but when the critical moment came, that person was like a loach and ran away in a flash. He was still as annoying as before.
Jianglu sighed. It was the first time he ran so far and he found that this was indeed a good place, but he still liked his hometown.
"Well, I believe them."
He had no objection to Fusu's succession to the throne. After all, Fusu was quite nice to them. If it were any other brother, he might not be able to accept it. The most important point was that Qin Xingfu had always stood by Fusu.
Although she had no real power, the people of the entire Qin Dynasty had her in their hearts. During the time she was in a coma, the people of the entire Qin Dynasty went to temples and burned incense and prayed for her every day.
"General, a letter from Xianyang!"
A soldier came forward and presented the letter. Jiang Lu took it and read it, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha...we don't have to worry too much. His Majesty and the Prime Minister have thought of everything. The first batch of supplies will arrive in ten days."
Good news must naturally be shared. He is aware of the things that make him wary, so he will just need to be more vigilant when the time comes.
"Oh oh oh...Long live the Great Qin!"
All the soldiers cheered, but in fact many of them were a little panicked in private. After all, they had been here for so long and knew how much food to bring.
The atmosphere was originally somewhat depressed, but because of this news, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted.
Xuhe saw more news than this, but he was nothing and could not interfere in military affairs.
Jiang Lu also looked at the soldiers with a smile on his face, and waited until they had cheered enough before he waved his hand.
"I'm happy, but I still need to pay more attention to everything. Let all the captains and above come to my tent to discuss matters."
"Here!"
Xuhe wanted to go back to his tent, but Jianglu grabbed his shoulder.
"Xuhe, you go too. I have an idea I want to discuss with you."
Xuhe was a man of few words, so he just nodded slightly and followed him.
"It's like this. I think it's easy for such a large group of us to be discovered. I know that you Black Guards have your own training methods. I want to temporarily form a team of 50 people and hand it over to you to be in charge..."
Jiang Lu expressed his ideas one by one, and Xuhe was also thinking. Indeed, in recent months, a small number of people were easily lost, while a large number of soldiers were easily discovered. If the Black Guard's method was improved and combined with the previous special forces training method, it should be better.
"Sure! I'll choose the person."
Jianglu spoke a lot and Xuhe only replied with a few words.
"Alas... you have such a cold temper. Aren't you afraid that adults will forget you?"
Xuhe lowered his eyebrows, then said firmly.
"will not!"
The soldiers arrived one after another, and Jiang Lu began today's meeting in a serious manner.
"Today, His Majesty sent news about another matter besides this one. The Prime Minister said that the enemy might use viruses, bacteria and other things that cannot be seen by the naked eye to attack us. That virus is even more terrifying than the plague. This method is too despicable and shameless, it is simply unscrupulous..."
Jiang Lu was very good at stirring up people's emotions. When they heard something more terrifying than the plague, they all had some fear on their faces.
"But, the devil is always stronger than the righteous. Your Majesty and the Prime Minister must have a way to deal with it and have already started to prepare, but we must also be more careful. Now, we must pay attention to everything such as water and food. People and horses must use boiled water for drinking. If there is not enough firewood, we can go up the mountain to collect wood. The thing that is most in short supply here is firewood..."
Jiang Lu made arrangements one by one. Unexpectedly, he let others speak. In any case, everyone had to rack their brains to think of a solution.
Xuhe listened from the side and also expressed his own opinions.
"General, in addition to what you have said before, you must also pay attention to hygiene. My Lord has said that mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants are the most easily ignored."
The army is made up of men, and they sweat and stink from training all day long. Some of them don't pay attention to hygiene and have lice and fleas on their bodies. Xuhe and Qin Xingfu are used to being together and are very concerned about this.
"Yes, remember this too. Let people build a place to take a shower. Everyone must take a shower at least once every two days. Those who don't take a shower will be dealt with by military law!"
Jianglu sometimes felt a little disgusted. When he went on patrol, the mixture of sweat and foot odor was really suffocating.
"Here!"
Many people were thinking that they were all grown men, and if they washed every day they would lose their manliness. But since it was Prime Minister Qin who said it, it must make sense, and Prime Minister Qin’s words were all truth!
In their hearts, Qin Xingfu is more like a real god, otherwise who would dare to curse at the sky, she was in a coma for several months, but she woke up safely! This made her prestige among the people even greater.
"Aqiu~"
Qin Xingfu, who was taking a bath, was talked about by someone and unconsciously speeded up his bathing movements.
Queen Ying was waiting by the side with a towel. When she saw her come out, she quickly wrapped her up and carried her to the bed.
"My Lord, are you feeling warmer?"
I held her in my arms, wiped her hair, and asked her.
"Yeah, it's not cold, my nose just felt itchy."
"Maybe someone is talking about you!"
It's true, there were quite a few people in the folk who really worshipped her as a deity, but they didn't tell her for fear that she would feel taboo. The people didn't have any ill intentions, so they didn't stop them.
"Alas... there are so many people who miss me, I am really worried~"
Qin Xingfu touched her face narcissistically. She seemed to have become more gentle these days. Then she turned around and faced him.
"Dear~ Am I very different from before?"
Queen Ying wrapped her up.
"Yeah, it's very different. It was more domineering before, but now it's a little more gentle."
Qin Xingfu moved herself close to him and whispered in his ear.
"Really? Then what kind of me do you like?"
The queen's Adam's apple rolled and her hands kept moving.
“I like them all!”
Qin Xingfu has adapted a lot in the past two days. Although he has lost his strength, his needs in that aspect have not changed much.
With a twist of their bodies, the two became inseparable.
"Well……"
Queen Ying still held back and tried to dry her hair, but Qin Xingfu kept teasing him.
"Sir...if your hair isn't dry, your head will hurt."
Qin Xingfu touched it and felt it was almost done.
"Almost there, love me now!"
Queen Ying couldn't hold back any longer, he pressed her under him and kissed her roughly. He knew what she liked. He had always been unable to beat her before, but today, he would make her cry and beg for mercy.
"Hmm~"
