Chapter 241 Going Home
As soon as Ning Yi left the palace, he asked Qin Haifeng to send a message to Zeng Zhizhong and all the armies, asking them to keep a low profile and behave themselves.
Just stay in the barracks and train well, blocking out all the outside world.
As for the tens of thousands of Fang family troops, they just need to be reorganized and trained well. It will take at least several months for them to go out to fight and recover their combat effectiveness.
As soon as I returned to the Prince's Mansion, Yang Ziqin and A Luo came to greet me.
"Husband, husband."
These two beautiful princesses came forward to greet Ning Yi as soon as they saw him.
Looking at the two women with worried faces, Ning Yi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, my husband is back safely."
"Come on, let's go have dinner together." Ning Yi hugged them on both sides, and walked towards the backyard with a smile, followed by a group of maids and guards.
This time, Ning Yi sent troops to fight, and the entire capital was under martial law. Even though the mansion was in chaos, fortunately it was not like last time, with servants running around.
After this meal, Ning Yi felt much more at ease.
The two women stopped bickering.
While serving him some food, Yang Ziqin said, "Husband, when you led the army out to fight, Qin'er was worried sick."
"And the emperor has kept us close to the palace, not allowing us to move freely. Qin'er was very scared, afraid that the army would attack. Now that my husband is back, our family is finally reunited."
A Luo, the beautiful barbarian, also grumbled, "My husband, next time you can't leave alone. A Luo must go with you. A Luo can also ride a horse and shoot arrows."
This girl has been the most beautiful flower on the grassland since she was young, and she has been riding horses since she was young.
Ning Yi smiled and pinched A'Luo's little face: "Okay, it's settled. Next time, A'Luo will go out with her husband."
A Luo was so excited that he didn't care about the face of others at all. He took the initiative to hug his neck and kiss him.
Yang Ziqin's two beautiful big eyes were filled with jealousy.
Ning Yi had been outside for so long that he couldn't even enter the city gate when he returned home for the first time. Naturally, he needed to have a good rest when he returned home for the reunion.
Enjoy your beautiful princess at night.
In the morning, she came to the central courtyard refreshed and in good spirits. It had been cleaned up long ago. Zeng Rou, dressed in clean women's clothes, saluted him as soon as she saw him: "Your Highness."
Ning Yi nodded, stood in front of her, and looked at this girl with a youthful face, like a high school student in later generations.
Zeng Rou blushed and lowered her head.
Ning Yi sighed: "I'm sorry to have wronged you this time."
Zeng Rou immediately shook her head: "Rou'er has not been wronged, nor has she been embarrassed."
Ning Yi knew that this was the reason why Zeng Rou was also imprisoned in the palace.
It was all because of Yang Ziqin. This woman knew that she was the Sixth Prince's personal maid, and she also helped the Sixth Prince deal with many chores.
She is also the daughter of an important figure in the Sixth Prince's affairs.
As long as you bring this maid with you, safety will definitely be increased.
Yang Ziqin, a woman who grew up in a compound, is not a simple person.
It was clear that once a great chaos broke out, Ning Yi, as a prince, would probably really abandon her as his first husband.
Ning Yi couldn't say that Yang Ziqin did anything wrong. After all, at a critical moment, it was human nature to think of taking on important tasks to protect his life.
However, Ning Yi still instructed the little girl: "From now on, if something like this happens again, you must go to Xiqing Gate immediately. The commander there will escort you back to your father safely. You won't have to worry about your life."
This can be considered as a way out for Ning Yi to give this little girl. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a maid and will not be noticed by others.
But unexpectedly, Zeng Rou actually shook her head and refused: "Rou'er thanks His Highness for your kindness, but since Rou'er entered the Prince's Mansion, she has been a member of the Prince's Mansion for the rest of her life. It is impossible for her to leave the Prince's Mansion alone after meeting him."
Ning Yi was speechless and didn't know what to say to this girl.
Is this the fate of women in this era?
Just like A Luo, she is obviously the ninth princess of the barbarian tribe and the real jewel in the crown of the barbarian king.
Originally, he wanted her to come to the capital for marriage so that she could pass on information to the barbarians in the future.
But since following Ning Yi, he has revealed everything about the barbarians.
If it weren't for A Luo's reminder, Ning Yi really wouldn't be able to understand in detail why the idiot Lao Si wanted to rebel.
After a few days of rest, the entire capital has returned to peace. However, even after the martial law was lifted, many wealthy families still sent their families south.
They also took away a lot of valuables and gold and silver. It was said that the fighting on the border was fierce and they were afraid that if the border could not stop the barbarians' massive attack and the capital was surrounded by soldiers, they would have nowhere to escape.
If other princes rebelled and captured the capital, they would still have a chance to survive. At worst, they could just surrender.
After all, no matter who ascends the throne, they will need this group of powerful ministers.
But if the barbarians were to capture the city, they wouldn't need this bunch of trash. It's very likely that they would kill everyone in the city without mercy.
Take the opportunity to take a large amount of supplies south, leave the dangerous capital city in the north as soon as possible, and leave a way out for the family.
Ning Yi left the city with his guards and saw a steady stream of horse-drawn carriages from wealthy families heading south.
Qin Haifeng muttered, "They're all a bunch of cowards. The border battlefield is so far away from here, and they're all just trying to escape. What a bunch of rubbish."
Ning Yi said leisurely: "This prince is wondering if we should let someone snatch them away along the way."
I believe that so many wealthy families have sent their families south, and there are many treasures and gold and silver in their possession. If they are all robbed, it will definitely be a huge fortune.
A lot of it is the wealth they have embezzled over the years.
Qin Haifeng shuddered and quickly advised, "Your Highness, please don't do that. Although they are a bunch of losers and cowards, if they are robbed, the entire court will be in chaos and they will never let it go. If the investigation reveals that they are related to Your Highness, it will be a serious crime."
Ning Yi knew very well that if he really did this, it would be very dangerous.
Even the old emperor didn't dare to do this and could only watch them leave with a large amount of supplies.
Ning Yi nodded slightly: "You are right, then let them go for now, and then we can slowly deal with these moles later."
Qin Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief, for he was afraid that this fearless man would do anything.
If that happens, the whole court will really be in an uproar.
Ning Yi first went to various Beijing camps. Except for his two directly affiliated Beijing camps, he didn't have to take care of them and just pretended to inspect them.
He took a tour of all the other Beijing troops.
The old Beijing camp, which nominally had an army of 100,000, was found to have less than 70,000 soldiers after an inspection.
There are also many elderly and weak people among them, and many of them are descendants of former soldiers.
No wonder the Beijing Camp’s combat effectiveness was weak. Even after their weapons and equipment were replaced, they were still incompetent and were easily defeated by the Fang family army.
Apart from the personal soldiers led by officers at all levels, there are very few who can fight normally.
In order to reorganize the Beijing camp, Ning Yi, under the name of the old emperor, personally asked the Ministry of War to reorganize all officers at all levels. Those who were unqualified were immediately fired, and those who dared to make trouble were arrested and their property was confiscated. They were all severely accused of embezzling military pay.
