Chapter 199 This smells so good
Now that Xu Rui has obtained the military command, he can command an army of 300,000. Adding their private soldiers, he can actually give it a try.
Originally, it would be fine to wait a little longer, but now that something like this has happened, if it really arouses Gu Wei's suspicion, everything will be disadvantageous to them.
Deyu's words touched Xu Rui's heart. "After this bandit suppression is successful, I will make another plan."
Knowing that Gulin could only command 30% of Yun Dynasty's military forces, he already had a plan in mind, but this plan would cut his flesh and tear his heart, and he didn't want to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
As the two were talking, the Marquis's exclusive carrier pigeon flew over again.
"It must be Deji again, this annoying guy." Deyu guessed it was Deji when he saw the carrier pigeon.
Xu Rui just came back, Deji won’t cause any more trouble.
Xu Rui stretched out his arm, and the carrier pigeon flew up obediently. Xu Rui took the letter from the pigeon and read it quickly.
After reading the letter, Xu Rui's face instantly turned cold.
Deyu saw that something was wrong and immediately said worriedly, "My Lord, you can't return to the capital."
This place can't afford Xu Rui's trip back and forth to Kyoto again.
Xu Rui frowned.
He didn't expect that Xu Rong's visit would cause so much trouble and she even wanted to use his private property to supplement her dowry.
Originally, he had prepared a generous dowry for her, but she brought her own death upon herself, so it was not his fault.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiyu was there this time, otherwise, according to Zheng's personality, he would definitely give his private property to Xu Rong.
It seems that he needs to finish things here quickly and return to Kyoto as soon as possible.
Every time he saw Deji's message, he was eager to return home.
Xu Rui kicked the horse's belly and galloped away.
"My Lord." Seeing this, Deyu hurriedly followed behind.
After running for a while, Xu Rui saw the soldiers camping.
Seeing that it was still dark, Xu Rui raised his chin towards Deyu who had caught up with him and said, "Wake them all up."
"Yes." Deyu responded and picked up the horn next to him and started blowing it.
As soon as they heard the bugle call, the soldiers woke up immediately.
When the soldiers saw Xu Rui, they all became excited.
"Master Hou is back."
"The Marquis is finally back."
Xu Rui looked at the soldiers and said loudly, "All soldiers, listen up and sneak into the northern border before dawn."
"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison.
Xu Rui turned his horse around and led his soldiers towards the northern border.

As for Jiang Xiyu in Kyoto, she had neglected a lot of things because of her previous illness.
In addition to checking accounts, the most important thing is to develop medicinal food.
Jiang Xiyu was afraid of delaying the opening of Gu Yunling's herbal medicine restaurant, so she put the accounting matter aside for the time being and took Nanny Yu, Nanny Wei and Qing'er to develop herbal medicine wholeheartedly.
It just so happened that during this period of time, Lin Rouyu was guarded by the guards, and Zheng was watched by Xu Rui's maids, so neither of them could come out and cause any trouble.
Zheng did send messages several times asking her to go and take care of the sick. Hu and Sun happened to be talking in her room, so they volunteered to help her take care of the sick.
With the help of Hu and Sun, Zheng couldn't make things difficult for her even if she wanted to.
It seemed that ever since she gave them jewelry last time, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun often came to her room to sit.
Although she had been married into the Marquis's Mansion for more than five years, she could not really say that she was familiar with Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun. However, after spending time with them for the past few days, the relationship between them seemed to have unconsciously become much closer than before.
Especially after Hu and Sun went to Zheng to suffer for her, she became closer to them.
"Madam, this is the recovery soup that Nanny Yu just made. Please try it." Qing'er brought a soup bowl, filled it with water and handed it to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu took the bowl and took a sip carefully.
Fuyuan Soup is made from mutton bones and mutton, and is supplemented with eighteen kinds of medicinal herbs including Chinese yam, dodder seed, minced meat, walnut kernels, etc. Therefore, the medicinal flavor is rich and complex, but these herbs do not cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves at all. Instead, they make the taste of the Fuyuan Soup more harmonious and more delicious.
It is smooth in the mouth, fragrant and refreshing, warms the stomach and spreads throughout the body.
Fuyuan Soup not only tastes great, but also has special therapeutic effects.
She tasted it carefully and it was delicious. As for its efficacy, she needed to find someone to try it.
Jiang Xiyu thought about it and told Qing'er, "Divide this healing soup into two bowls and send one to Mrs. Hu and one to Mrs. Sun."
Qing'er was bewildered. "Madam, you want to give this soup to the Second and Third Madams, but didn't you say before that it was for men?"
Jiang Xiyu was amused by her, "So, you have to tell Hu and Sun that this is for the Second Master and the Third Master to drink."
Qing'er blinked, still not understanding.
Jiang Xiyu moved closer to Qing'er, put his ear to hers, and whispered a few words.
Qing'er blushed suddenly with shame. She looked at Jiang Xiyu shyly, as if she had a lot to say, but after opening her mouth several times, she still couldn't say it. She could only hold the bowl of recovery soup and go out.
Qing'er divided the soup into two bowls as Jiang Xiyu said. She went to Sun's place first, but unexpectedly, Hu was there too.
"I greet the Second Madam and the Third Madam." As Qing'er entered the room, she bowed to the two of them.
Mrs. Hu immediately waved to Qing'er, "Come on, come on, tell us what delicious food your sister-in-law is making in the yard. The aroma is making us almost die of hunger."
Sun was also very greedy and said with a smile, "Is it mutton soup? It smells so delicious."
A few days ago, the aroma of various foods wafted in the air every day. They thought that the big kitchen was cooking something delicious, but no matter whether it was noon or dinner, they didn’t see any special delicacies.
It was not until later when she and Mrs. Hu went to her sister-in-law's house that they realized that all the fragrance was wafting from her yard.
You have to know that Jingyuyuan, where Jiang Xiyu lives now, is a remote place and a long distance away from their yard. They didn't expect that the fragrance could drift over from such a distance. Naturally, they were curious about what delicious food Jiang Xiyu was cooking in her small kitchen.
After being asked several times, Jiang Xiyu finally let them taste the medicinal food she had developed for Gu Yunling.
It has to be said that those medicinal foods are so delicious. Even though they live in the Princess's Mansion, they have never eaten such delicious food. Moreover, Jiang Xiyu said that those medicinal foods are not only delicious, but also have the effect of nourishing the body, fighting aging and prolonging life.
"It's mutton soup, yes, but it's not just any mutton soup." Since they asked, Qing'er directly took out the two bowls of recovery soup from the food box.
The two of them didn't expect Qing'er to bring the mutton soup directly to them, and they immediately became very greedy.
"Just now, my third sister-in-law said she wanted to go to my eldest sister-in-law's place to eat some medicinal food. I didn't expect my eldest sister-in-law to be so considerate and actually send it over."
"Yes, it's still sister-in-law who is thinking about us."
After speaking one word each, they couldn't wait to take the soup bowl and taste the mutton soup.
"Wait a minute." Qing'er hurriedly called them when she saw this.
