General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 634: The First Pot of Gold from Selling Grain (1)

"I don't understand, but I've seen some medical treatments and know some principles. Lou Yu didn't figure it out because he was too nervous. He knew it as soon as I reminded him." Ji Xiaomu smiled and did not take credit for it, because she just moved her mouth and Lou Yu was the one with real talent and knowledge.

"Sister-in-law, that was also thanks to your reminder. The fact that you know it shows your ability!" Li Hong said with a smile. He felt that his sister-in-law was very special from the beginning.

"By the way, what do you want to see me about?" Ji Xiaomu asked curiously, looking at Li Hong.

She thought it was Si Jing looking for her! Unexpectedly, it was Li Hong looking for her.

"Sister-in-law... do you... do you have any food?" Li Hong glanced at Fang Chen and asked carefully in front of Ji Xiaomu.

Fearing that Ji Xiaowu would not agree, Li Hong quickly added, "I can buy it with money! I will definitely not treat my sister-in-law unfairly."

Ji Xiaowu glanced at Li Hong, then looked back at Fang Chen, who chuckled. "I said I'll listen to you."

"We are all family, why are you being so formal!" Mother Ji glared at Fang Chen.

"Sister-in-law, this is different. If I were to eat it myself, I would definitely not be polite. This food... is for my soldiers. I have now recruited 300,000 soldiers." Li Hong lowered his eyes and said embarrassedly.

"Three hundred thousand? Where did you recruit so many people?" Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"I confessed to everyone." Li Hong replied.

"Although this is not what I should say, I still want to remind you that when there are too many people, it will be difficult to manage and they will easily hold you back. The appearance of spies is a small matter. I am just worried that you will end up supporting other people's soldiers." Ji Xiaomu said to Li Hong.

"I know that too..." Li Hong sighed, "But I have no other choice. I have to support these people."

"How many elite soldiers do you have?" Fang Chen asked. He had never asked about Li Hong's deployment, but after hearing Ji Xiaomu's words, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Eighty thousand." Li Hong lowered his head. "The eldest prince Li Jin has two hundred thousand, the fourth prince Li Hao has one hundred thousand, and although I don't know how many the second prince Li Guang has, I know he is also recruiting troops in secret."

"I'm afraid half of your 300,000 people belong to them," Ji Xiaomu guessed.

"Why are you so sure, sister-in-law?" Li Hong looked at Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen, and Fang Chen thought about it and understood what Ji Xiaomu meant. "Do you know why your people met the Zhang family?"

"Brother, are you saying that they did it on purpose?" Li Hong's face changed.

"Not only is it intentional, it's also to sow discord." Ji Xiaowu thought of another possibility. "Another possibility is that the people who ambushed the Zhang family are most likely the eldest prince's men lurking in your barracks, otherwise how could they be so familiar with this place? It's impossible for so many people to appear out of thin air!"

"I'll check it out right away." Li Hong's face darkened. No matter which possibility it was, it would be fatal to him!

"Go! Check your men carefully, and don't miss even your elite troops." Fang Chen reminded.

Li Hong nodded and left quickly.

"It seems that this place is not safe for the third brother!" Fang Chen looked at the villa. There were still not enough talented people around Li Hong.

Although the butler is in charge of the secret guards, fighting a war is not just about protecting the monarch, there must also be soldiers charging into battle outside.

"Can you help him during this time?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen. Fang Chen nodded. He had the same plan.
