Chapter 49: Plotting people’s hearts

Xia Hanyu immediately felt deafened and subconsciously grabbed Xia Ji's arm with one hand.

Cheng Ying on the side laughed happily, "Your Highness, the soldiers I selected specially for you are quite good."

Xia Hanyu naturally agreed, with a smile on his face, "Well-trained and methodical, it's really good."

"Then I would like to thank General Cheng for reluctantly parting ways with me."

Cheng Ying waved his hand and said, "Everything that belongs to His Highness must be the best, otherwise it will not be worthy of His Highness's status."

People who don't know what he said might think that he is someone who is used to flattering others.

In fact, even when facing the emperor, he had never looked so good.

Xia Hanyu took two steps forward, with cold eyes, and glanced at the five thousand elite soldiers. After a while, he said.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone stood up, and five thousand pairs of eyes fell on her. Xia Hanyu seemed unaware.

"From now on, you are my private soldiers, and your master is only me. Do you understand me?"

"clear!"

"Very good." Xia Hanyu nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face and a gentle tone.

"Of course, if you follow me, I will not treat you badly, but I have also set requirements for you. Only if you all meet my requirements can you stay. If you fail to meet my requirements, you will be sent away. When you come back here, no one will want to lose face like this, right?"

"right!"

Standing here, they are the elites, and everyone understands that following Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will naturally have a better future, and if they can stay, it will be the greatest good thing.

Cheng Ying on the side heard her words and strode forward.

"Your Highness, why do you still have requests? Can you tell me what requests you have?"

"It's a good thing anyway." Xia Hanyu raised her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, general, I will give this good thing to you when the time comes. I believe you will like it."

Cheng Ying: "Can't you say it now?"

Xia Hanyu's voice was cold: "No."

Cheng Ying looked disappointed. Fan Ren on the side rolled his eyes and suddenly took a step forward.

"Your Highness, if it is really a good thing, wouldn't it be a good time to say it now?"

"presumptuous!"

Xia Hanyu turned around, her eyes instantly turned cold, and she looked at him with a hint of scrutiny.

"Are you questioning me?"

The other party immediately knelt down and said, "I will not dare."

Xia Hanyu snorted softly, "If you don't dare, then shut up, otherwise I won't mind sending you to prison to sober up."

Fan Ren lowered his head, with strong dissatisfaction in his eyes. Unfortunately, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction at this moment.

"Your Highness."

Cheng Ying wanted to plead for him, but Xia Hanyu raised her hand and put it between her red lips, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Shh~"

"Old General Cheng, even my father has never interfered with my decision. How dare he, a small lieutenant, question my decision in front of so many soldiers. If I agree with him, other soldiers should How do you view this palace’s decision? Will you also start to question this palace? So, do you think he should be punished?”

Cheng Ying pondered deeply and felt that what she said was indeed very reasonable. "What His Highness said is that he does deserve to be punished."

"Your Highness, Fan Ren is a member of our army after all. Now that he has made a mistake, can he be handed over to me for punishment? I will give an explanation to Your Highness!"

"Naturally." Xia Hanyu had no intention of sending the person to prison, but just found a reason to punish him.

It's also his own fault for daring to bump into him directly.

As for the imperial edict, he should not enter in this way, it would be too easy for him.

Cheng Ying cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness."

"Come here, Fan Ren, if you offend Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I will pull you down and give you a hundred military sticks."

"yes."

Soon, two soldiers dragged the person down and beat him with a hundred army sticks in front of five thousand people. The person was beaten until he was dying. His eyes stared at Xia Hanyu almost with hatred, but suddenly he looked at Xia Hanyu. Shang Xia Ji's gloomy eyes suddenly didn't dare to look any further.

The ends of Xia Hanyu's eyes slightly arched, and she turned away from him. As soon as her eyes met, Xia Ji was startled inexplicably, and her ears turned red.

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Your Highness."

Fuling and Yu Xiao finally arrived.

Poria held the bag of snow salt well in her arms and trotted up to her, complaining softly with a look of grievance on her face.

"Your Highness, you are walking too fast. No matter how hard I and Yu Qianhu chase you, you will not be able to catch up."

Xia Hanyu reached out and touched her head, his eyebrows were gentle, but there was no trace of the coldness, arrogance and alienation just now.

"Where's the snow salt?"

"Here, I'm taking good care of you. Even if Yu Qianhu wants to help me, I won't give it to you."

In Fu Ling's heart, since Xia Hanyu had handed over the matter to her, she could never do anything to others again.

"My Poria cocos is so good."

Xia Hanyu took the snow salt from Poria cocos' hand and walked to General Cheng.

"Old General Cheng, can you step aside for a moment or two?"

Although Cheng Ying was a little confused, he still obediently pushed back the few people behind him.

Xia Hanyu opened the bag and said, "Old General Cheng, please take a look."

"This is..." Cheng Ying's eyes suddenly widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Your Highness, is this salt? It's so white!"

"That's right." Xia Hanyu nodded, "This is snow salt, which is extracted from those poisonous salt mines."

"It means leaving those poisonous substances behind and extracting only non-toxic salt. Because it is as white and delicate as snow, it is called snow salt."

Cheng Ying carefully held the bag of snow salt with both hands, "Your Highness, is this snow salt really non-toxic?"

"It has been determined to be non-toxic. In a little while, the soldiers will no longer be short of salt."

"But this matter is still a secret, so I hope that General Cheng will not say anything to anyone, including what I will say next."

So that the speaker does not mean it and the listener does it with intention.

Cheng Ying was not a stupid person, so he quickly understood, "Your Highness, you think there is... a traitor here?"

Xia Hanyu raised his hand again, "Shh~"

"The general knows it if he knows it, so there is no need to say it out loud. However, if the Jin Yiwei handles the case, please cooperate a little bit."

This was one of the reasons why she informed the matter in advance.

Otherwise, if he wants to stop him, even the Jin Yiwei will have a hard time arresting people in the military camp, and it will cause trouble.

"I understand."

Xia Hanyu was immediately satisfied.

"By the way, let me tell you one more thing, General. The price of snow salt is thirty cents per dou."

After saying this, Xia Hanyu walked towards another place, leaving old General Cheng standing there stupidly.

"Only thirty coins?" He hurriedly looked at Xia Ji who was looking at Xia Hanyu intently.

"Master Xia, is your highness serious?"

Xia Ji nodded coldly, "This is the price of salt set by His Highness for the sake of the people of the world. The method of making salt is also owned by His Highness. If the general hears any remarks that damage His Highness' reputation in the future, I hope he can put in a good word for her."

Cheng Ying's voice was deep, and he clasped his hands and swore: "I will speak for Your Highness. If anyone in your camp dares to say anything wrong about Your Highness, I will deal with it according to the military law!"

In this way, people's hearts have been won.
