On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2001 Borrowing Troops 1

After Yan Ruyu picked the boat, she didn't look at anything else.

The shopkeeper paused twirling his goatee and glanced over his handsome face three times.

The young man in front of me was dressed in blue cloth, his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. When he chose the boat, he did not ask about the depth of the cabin or the speed of the boat. He did not even bend over to check whether the bottom of the boat was leaking. He made up his mind based on the first glance.

The previous buyers had been peeking around to look at the cabin furnishings, but he didn't have any of that behavior.

"Young man, you have a good eye," the shopkeeper said with an even warmer smile. "This boat is of the highest quality. Once it hits the water, it's guaranteed to be fast and stable. It's perfect."

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "When my master bought a boat, he also asked for good quality and guaranteed. When we enter the water, we will know. If it goes back and forth smoothly, then there is no problem."

The shopkeeper said yes repeatedly.

He also realized that although this man was just a small servant, he had considerable power.

Not daring to be negligent, he respectfully brought Yan Ruyu back to the shop.

Huo Changhe was getting a little impatient, but when he saw her come back, he didn't stay any longer and set the time for the boat test in the evening.

The shopkeeper didn't think much about it. It wasn't something strange. Some people walked more during the day, while others walked at night. So he could try it at night, depending on his personal needs.

He thought that Huo Changhe was a merchant who came from afar, and it would take him several days to travel back and forth, so he naturally had to try the water route at night.

normal.

With the banknote in hand, he didn't even need to ask and convinced himself.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu went out on the boat and smiled at each other.

"Have you found it?" Huo Changhe asked, "What's the situation?"

"No need to look for it, just go through the backyard and cross the street. It's right across the street."

"If I'm not mistaken, the place is big and connected to the water."

Yan Ruyu smiled cunningly: "However, those are meaningless to me. When the time comes, I will just put them into the space and I won't care whether there is water or not."

Huo Changhe laughed dumbly: "Yu'er is absolutely right."

"Let's go back to the yard and check on Beibei and the others."

When the two of them walked back to the courtyard side by side, the bamboo fence door was ajar and Beibei's laughter could be heard from inside.

When the door was opened, Beibei was disguising two guards. When he saw them come in, he immediately jumped up and said, "Prince, Princess!"

Huo Changhe raised his hand and gestured for everyone to take a seat. He walked to the table and tapped the rough wooden surface twice with his fingertips. "Tonight at midnight, go to the third old locust tree at the mouth of the West River and wait for the boat."

Beibei's eyes lit up: "Are we going to take action?"

"Do you need a disguise?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, but not too much, just something that can change your skin color."

Beibei nodded: "I'll remember it!"

Huo Changhe glanced at the crowd and spoke slowly, "You are not the only ones aboard tonight. There are also people from Rongzhou. Once aboard, obey the command. Do not make a sound without instructions. Move forward and light the fire."

Everyone immediately agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fengxiao, dressed in shorts, walked in exhausted.

Seeing Huo Changhe's jade-like face, he was surprised and delighted, and hurried forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, Princess, the military camp is stable!"

"Tell me in detail." Huo Changhe said.

"The food was just unloaded this afternoon, and the kitchen immediately lit a fire," Feng Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone filled with relief. "They say this is timely help. Su Zhenhai arranged for his men to patrol the camp twice, and no one was upset."

Huo Changhe's lips curled up slightly, then disappeared in an instant: "Food is the paving stone."

He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyu: "It's time to give some rewards to Su Zhenhai."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Remember to arrive at the place designated by the prince on time. The prince and I will return to the Su Mansion first."

"Yes!"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked all the way to the side door of the Su Mansion.

Huo Changhe stopped and said, "Go back to the yard and have a good rest. You don't know what will happen tonight, so stay alert."

"Okay." Yan Ruyu looked around. "Talk to Su Zhenhai nicely, using both kindness and force. He's not a fool. He should understand how important this matter is."

"Don't worry, Yu'er."

Huo Changhe watched her leave before turning around to see Su Zhenhai.

Su Zhenhai was in the study. Usually no one came to this yard, and Su Zhenhai was so focused that he didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.

It was not until Huo Changhe entered the room and coughed that Su Zhenhai looked up and saw him, and hurried over to him.

He clasped his fists and was about to bow: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Huo Changhe raised his hand to support him, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, his eyes fell on his face, his tone suddenly serious, "Envoy Su, how is the matter with the Liu family?

"As Your Highness expected, Governor Ding's men are still searching the streets."

There was a hint of coldness in Su Zhenhai's tone.

"It seems that he is determined to stand with the Liu family."

The Liu family is bound to fall - Su Zhenhai previously thought that he might not see that day, but as fate would have it, the Liu family will fall sooner or later.

However, since Huo Changhe came, Su Zhenhai has regained his confidence.

"Thanks to the prince, I will obey whatever the prince plans."

"Since Envoy Su has said so, I will not hide it either. There is indeed something I would like to ask Envoy Su for help."

Su Zhenhai's heart trembled, and his expression immediately became serious. He stood in the hall with his hands hanging down: "Your Highness, you are joking. If it weren't for your timely help, the military camp would have been in chaos long ago.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness. If you need me, please give me your orders. I will not refuse a word!"

He said this earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity.

That day, the food supply was cut off and the soldiers in the camp were already making noises. If Huo Changhe had not delivered food and fodder in time, who knows what kind of trouble would have broken out.

He kept this kindness in his heart.

Huo Changhe picked up the teacup, stroking the rim with his fingertips. He took a slow sip before looking up at him. His tone was calm but carried an undeniable strength: "Okay, then lend me one hundred elite soldiers."

Su Zhenhai was stunned, as if he had not expected that this was what he wanted.

Although one hundred elite soldiers are not many, withdrawing troops from the military camp is no small matter. The city defense army, as the name suggests, will only be mobilized when the city is in danger.

But on second thought, since Huo Changhe had spoken, it must be something important, and he could not refuse such a favor.

"I obey your command!" He clasped his fists and responded with a firm tone, "When will the prince need you? I will arrange it right away!"

Huo Changhe put down his teacup, his eyes swept across his tense shoulders, and said calmly, "Meet at the riverside outside the city at midnight tonight."

After Huo Changhe finished speaking, he took out the prepared topographic map.

Su Zhenhai hurried over and looked down carefully.

"Right here. Your one hundred men don't need to wear armor, wear civilian clothes, and don't need to carry weapons. In other words, just change your clothes and come."

Su Zhenhai was wondering, what were a hundred elite soldiers going to do without weapons?

You can't dig a river and farm, right?

But he didn't dare ask more questions and just nodded.

"You don't have to reveal my identity to them. Just tell them to obey my orders, just like a military order."

"Yes, Prince, don't worry."

For this kind of thing, of course you have to choose your own confidant.
