Chapter 309 Food shortage
Tie Xin originally thought that defeating Wang Xueer would be easy, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult to deal with. The great strength that he had always been proud of was actually useless.
He calmed himself and began to look for the opponent's weakness.
But... I can't find it at all! It's too fast and too clever!
I had heard that there were many masters in the Northwest Army, but I didn't expect that a military doctor in a medical team could be so powerful. What about the others? Are their martial arts skills even more terrifying?
The noise in his ears was getting louder and louder. He was so annoyed that he didn't check for a moment. Wang Xueer found a flaw and punched him in the face.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
He decided not to hold back any longer, and with a loud roar, he punched hard in the direction of Wang Xueer.
The skinny young lady didn't dodge or evade. When the fist as big as a sandbag was about to fall on her shoulder, she used a clever move to trip the man to the ground.
Tie Xin immediately wanted to get up, but his hands were tied behind his back. He didn't know what Wang Xueer did to his arms, but she just pressed lightly and he could no longer lift his hands.
There was an immediate cheer from the Northwest Army, while the Dragon Guards fell silent. Two lieutenants of the Dragon Guards quickly entered the circle and helped Tie Xin out.
Wang Bing'er walked into the circle carrying her spear and raised her eyebrows to He Yi over there, "General He, please."
Seeing that Tiexin had lost, He Yi did not dare to be arrogant and picked up his mace to fight.
Huo Changjin's face was full of smiles. Wang Xueer really brought honor to their Northwest Army.
Pan Yingying looked at Wang Xueer who was approaching her with a look of "seeking praise" on her face, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, encouraging her: "You performed well, I'll give you an extra chicken drumstick at noon."
Wang Xueer smiled faintly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The competition between Wang Bing'er and He Yi was much more exciting. The two of them went back and forth, which was dazzling to watch.
The Dragon Guards' martial arts are mostly large-scale moves, and the girls in the female army mostly practice some tricky killing skills. He Yi finally understood Tie Xin's feelings just now.
These girls are so difficult to deal with!
After fighting for about half a cup of tea, Wang Bing'er finally ran out of energy and was defeated, but He Yi bowed to her solemnly and said, "General Wang, I'm grateful for your help."
He was convinced in his heart that Wang Bing'er, as a woman, could fight with him for such a long time and not lose the upper hand. If she hadn't been exhausted, it's possible that someone would have won today.
Wang Bing'er returned the salute without saying anything.
There have been too many things going on lately, and she has been a little slack in her martial arts practice. Starting tomorrow, she must get up early and practice more.
Pan Yingying did not watch the subsequent competitions. She had to use this time to recuperate.
She decided to go along with the Divine Army this time. Those poison masters were not easy to deal with, and she wanted to try again to see if she would get a nosebleed and become weak after shooting the poison masters.
Before returning to the camp to sleep, she entered the space with her consciousness as usual.
Yu Chaosheng happened to be in the space, holding a piece of paper in his hand, ready to post it on the message board. When he saw her come in, he threw the paper aside.
"I have some news about the eldest wife of the Yu family." He came over and took Pan Yingying's arm and told her the news he had found out.
The eldest wife of the Yu family found ways to make up for the losses of the shop. After Huang Guanqi gave birth to a son, she divorced Yu Zishu, who was already a disabled person, and sent him back to the Yu family.
The eldest wife of the Yu family married Yu Baozhu to a wealthy man named Jiang as his concubine.
The man is forty-five years old this year. His son was robbed and killed by bandits while traveling for business, leaving no children. His wife is too old to have another child, so he wants to marry a younger one to see if she can have a child to carry on the family line.
When Yu Laoda heard the news, he married Yu Baozhu to him. Jiang Yuanwai gave Yu Laoda a sum of money to buy off the marriage, and the two families stopped communicating from then on.
For the sake of Yu Zishu, Boss Yu had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
He originally planned to take the money and move away with his wife and children. However, as soon as he got the money, the gambling house got the news and came to his house to steal the money.
The family of three lived in the worst West Market, relying on Fang's butchering business to make a living.
Boss Yu developed a bad habit of alcoholism. He used the money from selling Fang's body to drink every day and beat people when he was drunk. Fang couldn't stand such a life, so she ran away with a patron who was a peddler.
Not long after, Yu Lao Da fell into a ditch while drunk and died, and Yu Zishu actually starved to death in the yard he rented.
This was discovered during the demolition of Xishi, but Yu Chaosheng suspected that the Huang family or Huang Guanqi must have been involved.
Pan Yingying nodded. No matter who did it, it saved her the trouble.
"By the way, how are the roads in Beijing being repaired?" She sat on the sofa, and Yu Chaosheng took a mobile phone from the side and came to her, opening the photo album to show her.
"Look, the cement roads have been built, and the city's drainage system has also been installed." He clicked on a video that showed a renovated residential area.
"There just aren't enough people! I have to take care of everything myself, and I'm exhausted. I don't even know where my mother-in-law and the others are now?" He raised his hand and pounded his waist, "I hope they come soon. I'll come and fight with you once I've made arrangements."
Pan Yingying glared at him. Isn't this boy too clingy? I can see him in the space every day.
"By the time you have repaired the capital, I might be able to drive the Xia people out. By then we have to develop at full speed, and you can't let us down." She pinched the flesh on one of his cheeks and warned him.
Yu Chaosheng's face fell instantly, "Oh my God! Are you trying to kill me?"
"I just want to be a beautiful male queen who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death! Why do you have to make me a slave?"
His goal all along was that Pan Yingying would be responsible for making money to support the family, while he would be responsible for being beautiful. But now a huge pile of work has been thrown to him. If he had known earlier, he would have gone out to fight!
Pan Yingying smiled and said, "The world is not at peace yet, and you want to lie down and relax. That's wishful thinking."
If anyone needs to lie down, she should be the one to do it.
After driving Xia out of Dayu's territory and earning enough food and fodder for the war, she would conquer Xia in one fell swoop, and then she could rest in peace.
After all, she has trained so many workers for herself, and they have to work hard in each position.
"Okay, no more jokes. I don't have much food left." Pan Yingying said, straightening her expression.
Although there are still some food and supplies stored in the space, and they can also be purchased in the system mall, in that case, she would be spending her own money.
This is not a long-term solution.
Yu Chaosheng felt a little embarrassed as the capital was also short of food.
After Pan Yingying ascended the throne, she immediately opened the granary and transported a batch of grain and fodder to various states and counties for disaster relief. Afterwards, the construction of city walls and cement roads were all done in lieu of relief. There was indeed not much grain left in the capital, and it could only hold out for another ten days at most.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Chaosheng said, "Why don't we buy some from the mall? It's important to support them until my mother-in-law and the others arrive in the capital."
