Qin Yining couldn't help but stop and ask worriedly, "What strange thing happened?"
She couldn't be blamed for her nervousness. This was the time when the war was at its peak. Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu were working together. They were like a hot knife cutting through butter. Within two months, they had driven the Tatar troops away from the capital. They had also retreated all the way, and recaptured several cities.
Pang Xiao also saved many civilians, and more civilians volunteered to join the South Pacifying Army. Because Pang Xiao was leading the civilians to reclaim their homes, these people became more and more courageous in battle.
Now, the war was at its peak. When the two armies met, the South Pacifying Army had food to eat. How could Pang Xiao starve the Tiger Army that he had raised? Even if he wasn't the commander of the Tiger Army.
Therefore, in these two months, Qin Yining used the treasure to feed all the soldiers on the frontlines who were fighting against the Tatan. However, Li Qitian didn't do anything. He only cared about celebrating the recapture of the cities and didn't have any intention of increasing the food supply.
Li Qitian's actions naturally caused many soldiers to be dissatisfied. However, when he issued a decree for the various armies to come to the capital, he had already made it clear that he wanted everyone to "provide their own food". Since everyone had already come, it meant that they approved of his decree.
At this time, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only swallow their anger. Especially when they saw that the South Pacifying Army and the Tiger Army were eating well and wearing good clothes, the other armies were envious.
However, in order to feed so many people, the treasure had been used up. Qin Yining had taken out all the wealth he had accumulated over the years. The most important thing was that after the disaster, even if he wanted food, it wouldn't be easy to find it.
These days, Qin Yining seemed to be living a comfortable life. He looked like he was focused on nourishing the fetus and waiting to give birth. However, he was actually very anxious.
She couldn't do anything for Pang Xiao. The two of them were in different places. The only thing she could do was to make sure that he had enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and that he had medicine to treat his injuries in time.
If she couldn't solve these problems, Pang Xiao's situation would be even worse.
Qin Yining's mind was spinning a thousand times, but in reality, in just a few breaths, Master Zhong had already walked in front of Qin Yining and said in a low voice, "Wangfei, today, a company called the Great Solar Grain Company took the initiative to look for me. They said that they have a large amount of stored grain for sale. I went to take a look. Not to mention that the grain was good, the price was even 30% cheaper than the grain we bought from Qianjin.
"They have so much food, but instead of hoarding it and selling it at a high price, they are doing this. I find it really strange. However, when asked in detail, the man said that he wanted to contribute to Da Zhou's imperial court by supporting the soldiers on the frontlines and taking back Da Zhou's land.
"It's not like I haven't seen people who are so devoted to their country.
You and Wang Ye are both like this, but I've never heard of the Daily Grain Company before. You suddenly came to me, as if you know I'm your trusted aide who specializes in running grain for you. "
Qin Yining frowned slightly when she heard this. Just as Master Zhong said, this situation was indeed strange. From her point of view, the other party took the initiative to extend an olive branch when the grain was in a difficult situation. It really solved a big problem.
However, this help came too suddenly and too timely. It was as if someone had been watching her movements and acted according to the situation when she was at her most difficult.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining vaguely guessed something.
"I understand. I have a plan for this matter. The most important thing is to solve the problem of insufficient grain. Later, you can go and see Mr. Xie and discuss how to act as per the original plan. "
When Master Zhong saw that Qin Yining was so confident, he felt relieved.
"In that case, I will do as Wangfei says."
Qin Yining nodded in agreement.
After returning to the room, Qin Yining told Ji Yun: "Prepare brush and ink for me."
"Wangfei wants to write a letter to Wang Ye again?" Ji Yun smiled and scooped two spoonfuls of water into the inkstone. Then, she twisted the ink stick and slowly slid it.
Qin Yining held her stomach and sat down with the help of Bing Tang.
"The battlefield is constantly changing. I really don't dare to disturb them. However, I still have to send a letter from time to time."
Qin Yining's letters to home had always been about good news and not bad news. Pang Xiao was fighting on the front line. If she still made him worry about her and dragged down his energy, it would be too wrong. Therefore, the content of her letters was mostly gossip. She would also write about her current physical condition.
At the end of this letter, she mentioned how the issue of the grain was resolved, directly stating that it was Qiu Feishan who helped. She didn't intend to claim credit, and didn't directly come to talk about it, but directly sent someone to deliver the grain.
Qin Yining did not know what the relationship between Qiu Feishan and Mu Jinghu was like. However, she always hoped that they could get along well. Even if it was not for each other, she had to take pity on Yan-ge.
Perhaps she was being too soft-hearted?
The food and letters were sent to the front line. The fastest speed would be twenty days. In the Southern Pacifying Army's camp, the banners were fluttering loudly. There were so many tents that one could not see the end of them. The food and supplies that were sent from outside the camp attracted everyone's attention.
A man who had just joined the Southern Pacifying Army said emotionally: "These food were all prepared for us by Wang Ye. The food from the imperial court has not arrived. If it were not for Wang Ye watching over us, I'm afraid that we would have to fight the Tatars with empty stomachs. "
"That's right! I don't know where the Tatan got the money. Not only are they strong in battle, they also eat better than us. "
"Isn't it because the Lu family sided with the Tatan? I originally thought that the Lu family was a good family. Now, it seems that they are scum who can ignore the safety of the imperial court for their own selfish reasons. What kind of aristocratic family is this? When they do things, they are simply not worthy of our attention. "
… …
When the food was sent to various parts of the camp, Pang Xiao also looked at the letter. He passed the last page to Mu Jinghu who was beside him.
"Take a look."
Mu Jinghu took the letter with a strange expression. After reading the contents, his face twisted for a moment before returning to normal.
Passing the letter back to Pang Xiao, Mu Jinghu lowered his head and was about to walk out of the tent.
Pang Xiao hurriedly stopped him. "Blockhead, actually, I know what you're thinking, but it's been so long. Boss Qiu has been writing you letters, but you've never been willing to read them. She did use you, but the past is the past. I don't plan to pursue it, so don't be calculative about it. Even if you consider Brother Yan, you should let go of what you should. "
Mu Jinghu shook his head. "You don't understand."
Pang Xiao pulled Mu Jinghu over and sat down casually with him. "What do I not understand? We are all men. I also know that you have feelings for Boss Qiu."
"I followed Master's instructions and snatched her away." Mu Jinghu's voice was muffled. "She comes from a prestigious family and is very smart. Many men are no match for her. I know how powerful she is and how capable she is, so I snatched such a woman to be my wife. At first, I didn't expect her to accept me immediately. "
"But even though we have Brother Yan again, she is still the same. In front of her, I am like a bad guy who stole her away. Her eyes are always full of contempt. She thinks that I don't understand many things, so she doesn't even tell me and makes the decision.
"She said that it was for my own good. But how can she be sure of what I think, and what choice I should make? To put it bluntly, she doesn't think that I am a boorish man. She thinks that I am not from a prestigious family like her. I also forced her to marry me. I thought about it carefully. After such a long time, she might be tired of seeing me. She had no choice but to give birth to Brother Yan with me. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt. "
Mu Jinghu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "So after thinking about it, I will divorce her after our matters are settled. From then on, we will have nothing to do with each other. She can marry whoever she wants, and leave Brother Yan to me. "
Mu Jinghu was not a talkative person. He was also not good at telling his secrets and thoughts to others.
But today, he said it very clearly.
Pang Xiao did not understand what was going on between Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan in the past. Now that he heard Mu Jinghu say this, although he felt that Qiu Feishan might not look down on him as much as Mu Jinghu thought, but now that such an open-minded and loyal person like Mu Jinghu had felt such humiliation, it showed that there was a real problem between the husband and wife.
Pang Xiao sighed. "Even so, you can be a good father, but how can you be a good mother?"
Mu Jinghu was not convinced. "If I take care of Brother Yan alone, I might be able to teach him better! Isn't it enough that he has me as his father? "
"Of course not. You clearly have a way, so why do you have to fight with Boss Qiu? Even if she did something wrong, she has already realized your importance and has already tried to please you and apologize to you countless times. You are still as stubborn as a bull. Don't tell me you won't even give her a chance to turn over a new leaf? "
Mu Jinghu pursed his lips and remained silent. After a long time, he said, "We'll see."
Hearing this, Pang Xiao was relieved. As long as he was willing to relent, things would only get better in the future.
He patted Mu Jinghu's shoulder and went to find Ji Zeyu, Ma Cheng and the others to discuss the next battle.
"There is less than half a day's journey from here to where the Dragon Legion is trapped. Si Qin and Lu Heng have already retreated. We can take advantage of this and completely rescue the rest of the Dragon Legion. This will increase our chances of winning. "Ma Cheng's voice was low and he was in high spirits.
Ji Zeyu did not immediately nod. Instead, he turned to look at Pang Xiao. "What do you think?"
Pang Xiao crossed his arms and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head. "I feel that Tatan's motives are not pure. Maybe he is using the Dragon Legion to lure us into a trap. We need to save the Dragon Legion, but we cannot forget to fall into the trap. "
Ji Zeyu nodded. "You are right. Although we have the advantage in numbers, we do not have enough supplies. We cannot afford to delay them. If we want to win, we have to win in one blow. Not only do we have to save the Dragon Legion and minimize the casualties, but we also have to think of a way to defeat Lu Heng. "
