Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Even if the secret guards wanted to stop Shen Lanxi from taking the risk, they did not dare to speak. They were afraid that Shen Lanxi would drive them back to Da Zhou.

Regardless of Zhou Ruyuan's intention or Bai Qingling's intention, it is an indisputable fact that Zhou Ruyuan has already wanted to raise an army.

Three people were left to wait there, and the seven people including her were divided into three days and entered the Southwestern Army.

The position in the Southwest Army was chosen when the old Marquis of Yong'an was still alive. During the years when Zhou Ruyuan took over, he only repaired it and did not relocate it.

The distribution map Zhao Zheng provided was very detailed. Shen Lanxi had simulated it in her mind in advance, and after entering, she quickly matched it up.

Zhao Zheng dreamed of coming back to this place, but unexpectedly, by some coincidence, she came here first.

"You've become so skinny, why don't you stay in the kitchen for a few months?"

Shen Lanxi was assigned to the firemen's team, and then the firemen assigned her the tasks of making fire and washing vegetables.

During the day, the soldiers were training and few people went to the kitchen. The firemen spoke without restraint and basically she didn't need to try to get them to know anything. They told her everything she wanted to know.

"Who do you think is prettier, the princess or the regent?"

"I haven't seen it, but the Regent must be very powerful."

"How could our prince be so desperate to marry such a princess? I went to the town to buy vegetables a few days ago, and heard the grain seller say that this princess was the one who called for water three times in one night..."

"Is this true? Why would His Majesty let his son marry such a woman?"

"Either they are good-looking or they have means."

"Yeah……"

"The prince trains his troops every day and leaves the logistics to the princess. The logistics of our Southwest Army are in a mess."

"Have you heard? The princess had the envoys sent away a few days ago without telling the prince."

"Did no one tell the prince?"

"Who dares? The prince listens to that woman so much that he even gave up his reputation for her. Who dares to say bad things about her?"

Shen Lanxi frowned: So, Bai Qingling is the only one talking to herself?

Humph, even if Bai Qingling was talking to herself, it was Zhou Ruyuan's connivance. If Zhou Ruyuan hadn't delegated power, could Bai Qingling have ordered the people of the Southwestern Army?

So Zhou Ruyuan shares the responsibility!

At noon, someone came to deliver a message.

"The princess wants to order a few dishes that the prince likes. The princess said that they should be made more exquisitely."

The fireman responded hurriedly, and soon Shen Lanxi was assigned to wash the vegetables.

Shen Lanxi broke open the tender leaves of the vegetables and quickly stuffed the note inside into her sleeve.

He took a quick look at it while carrying the firewood, and threw the note into the stove while burning the fire.

The flames were strong, and the crackling sounds were mixed with the sound of the spatula hitting the pot.

The note said that there would be two updates tonight, and Bai Qingling would meet the wolf leader in the Black Mist Forest.

The moon was hanging in the sky, the half-moon was still bright and clear, and the stars were shining, responding to the moonlight, each of them shining brightly.

"Mengxiangka, I have sent the people to you according to our previous agreement. When will you agree to form an alliance with our Southwestern Army?"

The tall and strong woman called Mengxiangka had a totem painted on her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"I have changed my mind now. If you, the Southwest Army, want to cooperate, send Zhou Ruyuan to me!"

Bai Qingling said angrily, "How dare you! The prince leads the entire Southwest Army, and you go back on your words. It's clear that you don't want to form an alliance with my Southwest Army. This princess has received news from the capital today that Shen Lanxi is coming with an army of 200,000 to wipe you out!"

Meng Xiangka's face changed and he immediately called two people to find out whether this was true.

Bai Qingling's eyes flashed with contempt. If she told these barbarians about the 400,000-man army, they would definitely not believe her and go check it out themselves.

Furthermore, she didn't believe that the imperial court would really allow Shen Lanxi to bring an army of 400,000.

As far as she knew, the imperial court had sent all its troops to Shu and Qianzhou, so there were no soldiers left to be allocated to Shen Lanxi.

Seeing that Bai Qingling was fearless, Meng Xiangka began to seriously consider whether what she said was true or not.

The total number of the Southwestern Army is no more than 200,000, and the total number of all their tribes is less than 100,000.

Even if she chose to form an alliance with the Southwestern Army, she would still be no match for an army of 400,000.

"Why do you always speak on behalf of the King of Zhennan? Where is the King of Zhennan? This leader wants to see him!"

Bai Qingling would naturally not let her see him, especially after she showed signs of coveting Zhou Ruyuan, it was even more impossible for Bai Qingling to let her see him.

"The prince is busy training the troops, so he asked me to take care of all matters other than training."

"Besides, you are a woman, and so am I. In our Great Zhou, the etiquette in the entrance hall is strict, and women cannot meet other men alone. Our prince followed the etiquette of the Great Zhou and sent this princess to see you."

Meng Xiangka sneered: "That is the etiquette of your Great Zhou, it cannot restrict a foreigner like me!"

"You were the ones who broke the contract and refused to negotiate with both parties first. Now you want to use your Great Zhou etiquette to frame me, a foreigner. You cunning foreigners really know how to do business!"

There was a gleam of darkness in Bai Qingling's eyes. No matter what, she would not let the prince see this woman.

This woman is so vulgar and shameless that she would feel it is a defilement to the prince even if he were to look at her once.

"In any case, the prince will definitely not see you. If you want us to agree to what you said before, you'd better agree to form an alliance with the Southwest Army. Otherwise, you will be wiped out by the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

The conversation between the two afterwards could be described as a verbal battle, and in the end they parted on bad terms, both leaving in anger.

Shen Lanxi looked at the direction where Meng Xiangka left with a dim gaze, very curious about what conditions she had put forward to the Southwestern Army.

The words she had said to the envoys before were purely to appease them, hoping that they would suffer less and save their lives under the limited conditions.

I didn't expect that they actually accomplished something.

The ten people were divided into two tribes allied with the wolf tribe. After getting the exact news, Shen Lanxi immediately arranged for people to go and confirm their safety.

Fortunately, the people sent this time were not pedantic, otherwise they would have died for the Great Zhou Kingdom the moment Bai Qingling sent them out, and would not have been able to wait for her to rescue them.

Shen Lanxi stayed in the Southwest Army for another three days. During these three days, she found out the location where Zhou Ruyuan was training his troops and learned about the approximate strength of the Southwest Army. Then, she took the opportunity to go out to collect firewood and escaped.

In the southwest, poisonous insects and poisonous plants would occasionally emit miasma, and soldiers would often be poisoned to death.

Shen Lanxi's death escape did not cause any ripples in the Great Zhou army.

Two days later, the southwestern border went on alert, and the number of soldiers on guard increased from five to ten. In addition, the number of troops at the checkpoints increased from one hundred to five hundred, and patrols became more rigorous.

At this time, the news that Shen Lanxi personally led an army of 400,000 to the southwest spread in the southwest.

Not long after the news spread, the Southwestern Army and the Wolf Clan each received a letter from Shen Lanxi.

One handwritten letter said that he was under the order of the emperor to inspect the Southwest Army. Another handwritten letter was a letter of accusation.
