Chapter 49 The War God Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 5
Second day
The emperor led a small group of people to the back of the camp, which was a relatively flat area where they were currently encamped.
If it's renovated, it could be used to plant quite a few things.
Chu Yue followed behind with some vegetable seeds she had prepared beforehand. The mountain terrain here was steep, making it the best place to defend against the enemy. No wonder the battle had dragged on for so long and the enemy was not easy to break through. If they could repel the enemy, it would be a permanent solution.
At the emperor's command, the soldiers, who usually carried swords and guns, immediately engaged in battle with the earth.
In no time, they had turned over a large plot of land. Chu Yue then directed them to divide the land into several sections and plant different things in each section.
The system's seeds are already the best, so there's no need to worry about a poor harvest.
Chu Yue took out cabbage seeds and sprinkled them into the soil, reminding, "After scattering the seeds, cover them with a layer of soil, then water them, and they will grow quickly."
"These are chili seeds. We'll dig holes and plant them later. We can add some when stir-frying; they taste great."
We'll store dried chili peppers then, so we can eat them in winter to help us stay warm.
Xie Heng hadn't expected that this woman, who had only been there for a few days, would look so radiant at this moment. In her familiar territory, every move she made seemed incredibly natural.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?" Chu Yue, dressed in coarse cloth and with a simple headscarf, raised her head and a charming smile appeared on her bright face.
The emperor walked over, his tall body gradually bending, repeating the actions Chu Yue had just performed.
He's an expert in military campaigns, but this is the first time he's ever grown this kind of vegetable. If what he grows himself can yield a harvest, even if it only solves one person's problem, it would be a great deed.
The other soldiers didn't say much and quickly finished planting.
Chu Yue took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, came to the emperor, and wiped the mud off him: "Your Majesty, vegetables grow quickly, while others grow relatively slowly. Just have someone keep an eye on them."
Before him was the soft, melodious voice of a beautiful woman. Despite her simple attire, the faint scent of peach blossoms still wafted into Xie Heng's nose.
It's just mud, it can be washed off easily, why wipe it so carefully? Doesn't it seem like a lot of trouble? The emperor is used to being rough around the edges, he doesn't like being served like this.
But seeing Chu Yue's serious expression, the words of refusal stuck in his throat.
"Xiao Anzi, pay more attention to this area in the future, be careful."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"go back!"
The group returned to their camp.
Chu Yue was still thinking about how to deal with the potatoes and sweet potatoes when the emperor hurriedly left in the afternoon and didn't return for a long time.
Not knowing what had happened, Chu Yue didn't dare to make any rash moves. Xiao Tao came over to keep her company, and the two stared at each other.
"Beautiful lady, are you bored?"
"There's something... Xiaotao, come with me to go out and have a look."
"My dear, don't wander around, it's dangerous," Xiao Tao said worriedly.
Chu Yue said softly, "It's alright, let's go to the back mountain and check on the vegetables."
"My beauty, it was just planted this morning..." Xiao Tao was speechless.
"Let's go..."
Fortunately, no one noticed them, and they arrived at the back of the mountain in no time.
Halfway there, Chu Yue suddenly had an idea. She sent Xiao Tao away, saying, "Go over there and see if there are any mushrooms or anything. I'll go check this way."
Xiao Tao, unsuspecting, said: "Alright, be careful, beauty."
Seeing that Xiao Tao had walked away, Chu Yue quickly called to Linglingyi: "Linglingyi, hurry up and bring me the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Just pretend that I suddenly found them on the mountain, and then take them back to plant. These things have a high yield, so a small bag of each is enough."
"Yueyue, is this really okay?"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and put them in the soil. I'll dig them out, and they'll look really real."
Chu Yue urged it on.
Helpless, Linglingyi had no choice but to agree to her request. A short while later, a field with potatoes and sweet potatoes appeared in front of Chu Yue.
Chu Yue quickly grabbed a tree branch from the side and started prying the potatoes open.
"My beauty, what are you doing?" Xiao Tao came over and found her beauty kneeling on the ground without any regard for her image, her body arching back and forth as she did something.
Good heavens, if His Majesty sees this, he'll surely be sent back to the palace!
"Xiao Tao, quick, come help me!" Chu Yue shouted excitedly.
"Beautiful lady, what is this?" Xiao Tao immediately went over.
Chu Yue continued what she was doing, replying, "These are potatoes and sweet potatoes, they're edible and filling. Hurry up and help me dig them up, we'll take them back."
Xiao Tao said "oh" and joined the team. The two of them dug with great enthusiasm.
Poor Xiao Anzi, who couldn't find anyone in the tent. Could someone tell him where Lady Chu had gone?
Xiao Anzi had come to inform His Majesty that he would be returning late, so that Consort Chu could have her meal first, but when he returned, he found no one there.
We've asked around but no one has seen Chu Meiren. What should we do?
Xiao Anzi gritted his teeth and decided it was better to tell His Majesty that it was getting dark and there might be some danger.
The emperor was discussing the war with several generals in the council tent. After the meeting, he decided to go back for a meal. Consort Chu was still there. After a few days, the emperor gradually got used to having a woman by his side.
Xiao Anzi, in a panic, bumped into the emperor, trembling even more violently: "Your Majesty... Consort Chu has disappeared..."
Xie Heng's brows furrowed immediately. What did it mean that they had disappeared?
Ran?
Or was it kidnapped?
Or was she trying to use this to threaten him?
"Explain yourself!" the emperor said in a deep voice as he walked, his armor clanging crisply.
Xiao Anzi hurriedly said, "This servant came back to inform Consort Chu that His Majesty would be back late and asked her to have her meal first. However, when I returned, I couldn't find him, not even Xiao Tao. I asked around, but no one was there..."
"Go find it!"
The emperor wasn't worried about anything else, he was just worried that the woman would fall into the hands of the enemy, after all, she was his woman.
Xiao Anzi went there quickly.
On the back hill, Chu Yue and Xiao Tao had already dug up a small pile; no one could resist the joy of harvesting something by doing it themselves.
001 is quite honest, making such a large deal out of it.
"My beauty, is this really edible?"
"Of course, it's also incredibly delicious. Hurry up and dig, it's getting dark."
"Oh," Xiaotao said no more.
Xiao Anzi searched around but couldn't find anyone. He came back trembling and said, "Your Majesty... this servant couldn't find him..."
The emperor's sharp gaze swept over him, and Xiao Anzi trembled in fright.
"Bring more people, and expand the area." After saying this, the emperor got up and left.
That damned woman, all she does is cause trouble. Make sure he doesn't find her, she'll be severely punished!
The emperor personally led a search party to search everywhere, expanding the search area to the mountains.
It was already getting dark when Chu Yue and Xiao Tao finished digging.
Chu Yue was stunned to see two small mountains piled up in front of her. How could this be explained?
"My beauty, take a rest." Xiao Tao didn't care about anything else and wiped her hands with her clothes.
Chu Yue sat on the ground, clapped her hands, and then realized that her hands were all scraped and blistered.
"Hiss..." Chu Yue let out a soft cry and frowned. She had been so excited earlier, but now she felt pain.
"My beauty, what's wrong? Does your hand hurt? My hand hurts too."
Despite the pain, Xiao Tao wiped the mud off Chu Yue's hands.
"It's alright, I'll just put some medicine on it when I get back."
"Yes, just apply the medicine when you get back..."
As soon as Xiao Tao finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. Oh no, they had been out for a long time, and it was already dark. What if His Majesty blamed them?
Chu Yue and Xiao Tao clearly thought of the same thing, and instantly realized that there was fear in each other's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it was my choice to come out. If Your Majesty wants to blame someone, then blame me."
Chu Yue comforted her and said, "Let's go back first."
Xiao Tao stood up, her legs trembling. She was still very scared. This place was so dangerous. His Majesty must be very angry.
