Chapter 52 Analyzing the Situation
Mrs. Cheng dipped her index finger into the glass of water and drew on the table.
“In these years, Da Yin first conquered Dongxun, and then the Mu Yuan surrendered and became a vassal state.”
“But without the Cheng family, if Da Yin were to attack again Going to southern Xinjiang seems to have no worries, but in fact, both Muyuan and Dongxun have their own hidden agendas."
Mrs. Cheng paused, took out a few letters from the cabinet, opened them, and put them away. In front of several people.
"These days, I also asked the Chen family to find some books from the Dongxun Kingdom to read, and roughly translated these letters."
"The queen turned out to be a detailed work of the Dongxun Kingdom!"
“What?!”
A few people exclaimed.
"Isn't the prince..."
Mrs. Cheng pointed to one of the letters again.
“It also mentioned that Dongxun secretly colluded with Nanjiang.”
When they heard the word Nanjiang, several people gritted their teeth and wished they could chew it into pieces. .
Wang raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“Today’s Da Yin is just a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Nan Xinjiang has always been evil-minded, and will definitely not let this opportunity pass by. If we join forces with Dong Xun, I’m afraid there will be chaos in the future. .”
"No, Southern Xinjiang doesn't dare to act rashly yet."
Cheng Qiuruo shook his head and continued slowly.
"Although Southern Xinjiang won that battle with dishonorable means."
Speaking of this matter, her tone became heavy and a little choked, but she was soon filled with hatred cover.
“The price paid is not small. It can be said that we hurt the enemy eight hundred and lose one thousand to ourselves.”
"In addition, there are still 300,000 Cheng family troops stationed in the southern border camp. They dare not send troops in the short term."
"As for Dongxun..."
Cheng Qiuluo narrowed his eyes slightly. Take the conversation.
“I think that compared to Da Yin, their first step is to take over Southern Xinjiang!”
“And even if Southern Xinjiang cannot guess their intentions, they will not I believe in Dongxun too much, so I am even more wary and dare not act rashly.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng nodded secretly and looked at her two granddaughters with relief.
All the children of the Cheng family are good!
Sisters Cheng Qiuruo and Cheng Qiuluo looked at each other and spoke in unison.
“So, the one who loses his composure first will be Huashan!”
“It’s Huashan!”
Mrs. Cheng raised her hand and pressed down.
"Okay, let's forget about this for now, we have to do our own thing quickly."
"What plans does grandma have?"
The two sisters looked expectantly. Holding her.
Mrs. Cheng patted the pamphlet at her hand and smiled mysteriously.
"First cut off the wool, wash it, and look at the book in the past two days to make the wool thread."
Cheng Qiuruo's eyes lit up.
"What do you mean, grandma?"
Mrs. Cheng nodded with a faint smile.
“Although the Chen family can provide us with shelter now, we should also seize the time to accumulate more capital for the future.”
"Yes! Let's go right now!"
The two sisters responded simply.
Just as I was about to go out, Meng’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who went up the mountain to collect herbs, came back.
"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law met some hunters in the mountains. Judging from their clothes, they look like people from the Muyuan Kingdom."
Cheng Qiuluo frowned slightly.
"The hunters of Muyuan Kingdom?"
"How did they get here?"
"Is there any other way to reach Muyuan besides going over the snow-capped mountains?!"
Mrs. Cheng's eyes flashed and she looked at Meng.
“Have you been discovered by them?”
Meng shook her head.
"No, I just saw it from a distance. My daughter-in-law has sent Cheng Feng to follow secretly."
"Well, good, you did the right thing."
Then, Mrs. Cheng lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking, and the others quietly left without disturbing her.
At night, the Cheng family ate roasted lamb legs, sprinkled with seasonings sponsored by An Luo, and the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance, not to mention that An Luo also sent a lot of fruits.
Eat a bite of the roasted lamb leg, and then take a bite of the juicy fruit to relieve your tiredness. Yu'an is grilling meat in one hand and eating fruit in the other, one bite after another, it's so delicious!
It’s so beautiful.
Cheng Yu sighed as he sprinkled seasoning on the lamb leg and looked at the white salt in the jar.
“Obviously it’s all salt, but the one we eat on daily basis is big in grains, yellowish, and has a bit of a bitter taste, but it’s far worse than this.”
Cheng Lei next to him chimed in.
“Can it be the same?”
This is the salt that immortals eat!
Mrs. Cheng walked over, looked at the salt shaker carefully, then twisted a little bit and put it in her mouth. After tasting it carefully, her eyes lit up.
“I don’t know how this salt is made.”
When An Luo heard this, he turned around and said a few words to Zaizai.
Although Yu An was confused and didn't understand much, the little guy has a good memory, which didn't prevent him from relaying sentence by sentence.
Just like this, the yard, filled with the aroma of roasted lamb legs, echoed with the sounds of young children.
"Add coarse salt to water, boil and melt... filter with a clean cloth, and boil the filtered salt water to dry..."
"It's so simple! I'm going to try it now! ”
Cheng Qiuruo stood up from the stool and ran quickly to the kitchen.
“Old Madam!”
At this time, Cheng Feng came back, and he ran so hard that his voice became hoarse.
He took a large bowl of water from Cheng Yu's hand and drank two large bowls of water before he recovered.
"Old madam, my subordinates have been following those hunters. There is indeed a secret trail in the mountains leading to the territory of Muyuan Kingdom!"
"It's just that the road is very narrow and the mountain road is rugged. It seems that it can accommodate two or three people passing at the same time."
Mrs. Cheng nodded, thinking to herself.
If this is the case, then the plan can proceed more smoothly.
Then she looked at Cheng Feng.
“You’ve been tired for the whole day, sit down and eat.”
"Yes."
......
The third day after getting the pamphlet.
In the small courtyard, Cheng Qiuluo's wails could be heard from time to time.
“Ah, I knitted wrong again!”
"This is too difficult!"
In the room, Mrs. Wang took her eyes away from the sweater in her hand, took the time to glance at her younger daughter, and exchanged a look with her eldest daughter. Both mother and daughter shook their heads helplessly. .
"Luoluo, you'd better stop knitting."
Cheng Qiuruo suggested.
"Why don't you go knitting yarn."
Cheng Qiuluo gritted his teeth while unraveling the wrong parts of the weaving.
"The wool of the two sheep has been rubbed out, and there is no more wool to rub."
Cheng Qiuruo opened the booklet.
“Look at this, instead of knitting something difficult like a sweater, how about knitting a scarf?”
Cheng Qiuluo held up what he had knitted and looked at it expressionlessly. she.
"Thank you for your suggestion. What I knit is a scarf."
Cheng Qiuruo: "..."
Okay, I just smiled and said nothing.
Cheng Qiuluo sighed.
“Forget it, I’ll guide Yu An in sword practice.”
Not seeing the little guy in the yard, she went directly to Yu An's door.
"Yu An, have you trained today?"
Suddenly, her nose moved, she stretched her neck and sniffed around, and finally got close to the crack in the door, and immediately covered her nose to avoid it.
"Why does it smell so bad?"
She quickly opened the door.
"Yu'an, did you poop..." your pants?
The next moment, when she saw the unknown yellow object next to the guy's mouth, her expression changed suddenly and she rushed over quickly.
“Why do you kid eat everything?!”
