Li Jinglan was talking to the soldier who brought her food.

"Is this all you want to order? There's not even any soup?" Li Jinglan pointed at the food on the table, very dissatisfied.

The soldier rolled his eyes. "We are all grown men. We don't eat as finely as you do. Why do we have to drink soup before meals? How can we train if we don't have enough food in our stomachs?"

Li Jinglan glanced at the soldier and continued to lose her temper: "There has to be meat, right?"

"It's only available in heavy armor, so forget it." The soldier felt that Li Jinglan had too many questions and retorted.

It turned out that the Black Iron Army had problems with the supply of food, vegetables and meat. They could only provide meat to the heavily armored soldiers, while the rest of the people only ate meat every few days.

No wonder Xu Jingchen was interested in her rules and regulations.

Corruption must be rampant within the Black Iron Army.

Li Jinglan asked again tentatively: "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. How about this, you tell me what's new in Beijing, which can be regarded as compensation to me."

The soldier was alert: "The general said that you can't be told about anything that happened outside."

Xu Jingchen is such a bastard!

Sooner or later I'll chop off his dog head and kick it like a ball.

Li Jinglan was angry and continued to test him: "I like to take a walk after dinner. Can I take a walk? You can follow me."

The soldier thought about how Li Jinglan had been very well behaved in the barracks for a few days, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to report."

"Take the toilet out and replace it with a new one. Make sure it is one-third full of water and put river sand underneath. The river sand needs to be cleaned." Li Jinglan instructed in detail.

The soldier was confused after hearing this.

After I left, I kept thinking: Isn't it just a toilet? Why is there so much to it?

An hour later, the soldier brought a toilet bucket that met Li Jinglan's requirements.

Then he rejected Li Jinglan's request to go for a walk: "You can't go out."

Li Jinglan was not angry, pointing at the dining table: "Clean it up."

Then he turned and studied the toilet.

After checking the toilet, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

There was really river sand underneath, and it had been cleaned.

This proves that the military camp is not far from the river.

When a large army is stationed, they are most afraid of poisoning and must require fresh water.

She closed her eyes and began to wonder where outside the capital was closest to the river.

After opening her eyes, Li Jinglan had already deduced her current exact location.

"Knowing the location is useless! Running away will only lead to a quick death."

No matter how fast you run, can you be faster than a bow and arrow?

Li Jinglan thought for a while on the couch, gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and continued to shout: "Someone come, someone come."

The soldier outside the door answered: "What's the matter?"

"My clothes are dirty, I want to change into new clothes. I want to take a bath and clean myself." Li Jinglan said.

The soldier choked and said, "There are no women's clothes in the barracks."

"Then go and buy it! The bill will be put on your general. I don't have any money."

The soldier grabbed the tent pole with his hands.

Grab it and let it go.

Grab it and let it go.

"I'll go and report." The soldier took a deep breath and left.

He came back a quarter of an hour later: "The deputy general said that either we find you a soldier's clothes, or you have to bear it."

So, Xu Jingchen hasn’t come back yet?

He hasn't come back for several days, which proves that something in Beijing has held him back.

What was Lu Bozhou doing at this time?

Are you looking for her or has she gone home?

She was too naive before, and always thought that if she let Lu Bozhou win the first place in the imperial examination, she would gain the respect of all the officials.

But she forgot who was in power now.

This emperor is no ordinary man.

He would never show unconditional preference to Lu Bozhou just because he was his son.

All the emperor needs is an heir, not a son.

Li Jinglan replied: "Find me some men's clothes and bring them in, and prepare some hot water for me."

There are so many things to do!

The soldier clenched his fists and wanted to hit Li Jinglan in the face.

He resigned himself to his fate and prepared a set of clothes for Li Jinglan, and then brought some hot water.

Soon, the sound of splashing water was heard in the tent.

The soldier lowered his head and listened for a while.

My face gradually turned red.

He turned to look at the other soldier standing guard nearby.

But I saw that the soldier also had a red face.

The soldier lowered his head and said nothing.

The sound of water splashing in the tent gradually stopped.

There was the rustling sound of someone getting dressed again.

The tent curtain was lifted.

The soldier subconsciously held down the long sword at his waist.

Bang!

A cloak flew out of the tent and covered the soldier's head.

Li Jinglan's voice followed: "Take it out and throw it away."

The soldier blushed and pulled his clothes off his head, stunned.

"This is silk! It's very expensive. How can I throw it away?"

"I've worn it for so many days, I've wanted to throw it away for a long time." Li Jinglan looked at the soldier with contempt, "People like us never wear or wash clothes. We have to throw it away after wearing it once!"

"Ah?" It was the first time that the soldier heard about the affairs of the official's inner residence, and he felt itchy and curious.

It turns out that the wives of officials never wear washed clothes.

Since she doesn't want it, I can take it home and let my mother wear it.

The soldier stroked the cloak in his hand.

Silk clothes are very expensive. Even if my mother doesn't wear them and pawns them, she can still get a few taels of silver.

Then, he couldn't help but glance at Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan was wearing a men's suit with long sleeves and a long skirt.

She rolled up her sleeves halfway, revealing a section of her snow-white arms.

Use a belt to fasten your clothes tightly around your body to make your figure look more graceful and graceful.

It is said that men should be dressed in soap.

It turns out that women look just as good in black clothes.

The soldier's already red face became even redder.

If I could marry a wife like this, I would be willing to die immediately! The soldier thought to himself.

Li Jinglan took a look at the situation in the military camp, retracted her hand, and lowered the door curtain.

Change of defense!

The military camp changes defense every hour.

The patrols are tight and there are no omissions.

Xu Jingchen was really strict in managing his army!

I don’t know if this soldier will steal the clothes and take them home.

She put the Dongzhu hairpin that Lu Bozhou gave her into her clothes.

This hairpin is made of pure gold and is crafted by an expert in craftsmanship. It could be worth dozens of taels of silver.

Whenever the soldier took the hairpin home, his family would either show it off or pawn it for money.

I hope Lu Bozhou can find it.

But she also had to be prepared that the soldier's family would not take the clothes and hairpin out.

She had to find a way to get a message to Lu Bozhou.

Li Jinglan called the soldier again: "Come here, come here."

The soldier responded from outside the tent: "What's the matter?"

"I'm bored. Find me some books about strange things."

The soldier said gloomily: "I'll go report."

After a while, he came back and continued talking across the tent, "There are no strange things in the military camp."

Li Jinglan raised her eyebrows: "Find me something with words to read. I'm bored and want to kill time."

The soldier went out to report again, and when he came back, "There is nothing written on it, only the imperial court report."

"It's so-so." Li Jinglan nodded.

The soldier stuffed a copy of the imperial newspaper into the tent.

"What's so good about this thing?"

Li Jinglan said with great disdain: "Then why don't you find me some books about strange things."

"Hey, I say... where do you think this place is?" The soldier was angry. "This is a military camp! How could there be a book about strange things?"

"Because you can't read, you didn't secretly hide some books to read." Li Jinglan laughed.

"All the servants in my house can read! They would secretly buy some books about strange things to read. I have found them several times. There are books about the West Chamber, a scholar fighting a green snake, a white-haired female ghost knitting a silk cord for a scholar in front of the fireplace, etc...."

At this point, Li Jinglan raised an eyebrow and said, "I forgot that the white-haired female ghost would not be attracted to you at all. Beautiful female ghosts will only be attracted to scholars, not soldiers."

The soldier's eyes suddenly widened and he clenched his fists, "Bragging!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After the soldier left, Li Jinglan picked up the court bulletin and read it carefully.

"The Nine Gates Admiral was killed?"

Li Jinglan raised his eyebrows slightly: "The emperor took this opportunity to replace the Nine Gates Admiral with his own people."

I don’t know who the Nine-Gate Admiral is and how much thought went into placing him there.

The emperor found the right opportunity and killed him with just one sentence.

"This power smells so good!" Li Jinglan sniffed the court report and did not smell blood, only sweetness.

Then she shouted again: "Someone come, someone come."

"What's the matter?" The soldier answered outside the tent, his tone very impatient.

"Move the bathtub out."

“…Ah? Oh.”

"Bring me a kettle of water later. I want to make tea."

“…There is no more tea leaves.”

"Go find the general. He must have it."

There are so many things to do!

Can I kill this woman?

The soldier called another soldier in and thought to himself while moving the bathtub.

The next morning, the soldier went on vacation.

He walked home with the silk cloak in his pocket.

"A white-haired ghost is knitting silk for a scholar in front of the fireplace? Is there really such a book?"

The soldier didn't believe it.

"Go to the bookstore and ask first, then go home. If you can't find such a book, I will laugh at her when I return to the barracks!"
