Riding at full speed, Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing soon arrived at the entrance of the grain camp.

At this time, the gates of the grain camp were tightly closed, and only from the high observation tower could two figures be seen.

Those were the Shadow Guards stationed at the grain camp.

Previously, the three thousand households managing the grain camp had already been dealt with by Song Yanqing.

However, not knowing who to find to take over, Song Yanqing temporarily put the Shadow Guard in charge of all matters related to the grain camp.

The Shadow Guards quickly spotted them and shouted, "Who's out there?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yanqing raised her eyes and loudly announced her name.

Every Shadow Guard recognized their master's voice.

Before long, the gates of the grain camp slowly opened.

One of the Shadow Guards, who had been waiting at the gate, bowed and greeted the two men as they rode up, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what brings you here so late at night?"

The tasks that the Shadow Guards need to handle are always ordered by the Shadow Guards themselves; it is rare for Song Yanqing to personally issue orders.

The Shadow Guards thought they had important instructions, so they dared not relax at all, and even the back of their necks began to tense up.

Song Yanqing said calmly, "It's nothing. You can go back and rest. We can send someone to guard it again after dawn."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Shadow Guard instinctively accepted the order.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

What if the grain in the grain camp is lost if we leave the main gate open to rest?

Such an absurd request was too much for the Shadow Guards to easily grant, for fear that the prince before them was a villain in disguise.

After a moment, the Shadow Guard made up his mind.

"Your Highness has offended me."

As soon as the Shadow Guard finished speaking, he took advantage of Song Yanqing's inattention to make a move.

Faced with the sudden attack from the Shadow Guard, Song Yanqing was not surprised at all. He dismounted and exchanged a few blows with the Shadow Guard.

Then, with a swift turn, he was back on horseback.

After confirming Song Yanqing's identity, the Shadow Guard bowed respectfully, clasped his hands in greeting, and stepped back a few paces to make way for the two of them.

At the third of the night, it is the quietest time.

The soldiers who had worked all day in the grain camp were already fast asleep in bed.

At this moment, the only sound in the empty grain camp was the hoofbeats of Song Yanqing and Lu Qiqi's horses.

Lu Qiqi was quite surprised that the Shadow Guards had directly attacked to test Song Yanqing's identity.

After all, in her view, the Shadow Guards would never dare to disobey orders, let alone directly attack their master.

She said, "The Shadow Guards dared to verify identities in this way; it must have been your order, right?"

Under the moonlight, Song Yanqing looked at Lu Qiqi intently for a moment before saying, "No."

no?

Lu Qiqi looked puzzled.

Knowing that she must be curious, Song Yanqing explained, "The Shadow Guard was founded by the late emperor and fell into my hands by chance."

This method of identity verification was established from the very beginning.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi suddenly understood and praised without hesitation, "The late emperor was indeed a wonderful person."

To think that such a method of verifying identity could be conceived.

She could tell that the moves Shadow had used were all methodical.

It appears chaotic, but there are patterns to follow.

Perhaps those techniques were used to verify identity.

The two rode their horses to an open area where all the grain grown in the grain camp had been harvested and stored.

Now, only withered grass stalks remain on the open space.

Song Yanqing tightened the reins in his hands and turned to Lu Qiqi, saying, "Let's do it here."

Lu Qiqi immediately understood.

He used his mind to release all the sheep in the space.

The reason why only the sheep were released was because Lu Qiqi saw the fence in the distance.

If she releases the cattle and sheep together now, they will be mixed together tomorrow, and it will take a lot of effort to separate them.

On the other side of the fence, Lu Qiqi released all the yaks.

When you take objects out of the space, or put things from the outside into the space, the objects will not shake as they are moved.

Therefore, the cattle and sheep, still fast asleep, had no idea that they had moved to a different place to sleep.

This was exactly what Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing wanted.

Of course, all the cow and sheep manure in the space was also thrown out and piled up in one place to compost the grain for the grain camp next year.

After releasing the cattle and sheep from the space, the two found an empty granary and released all the grain they had collected from the Tartar camp.

To provide food for the soldiers stationed at the border.

Lu Qiqi looked at the granary in front of her, which was piled full of grain.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked Song Yanqing, "We've made such a big show of putting all the Tartars' rations in the grain camp."

At present, the internal troubles on the border have not yet been resolved.

Not all the spies have been caught, and if Tadar finds out...

"Wouldn't that expose our plan to frame the Third Prince?"

When it comes to military matters, Lu Qiqi certainly doesn't know as much as Song Yanqing, which makes her even more curious about Song Yanqing's plans.

Song Yanqing stood side by side with her, looking at the full granary. His previously anxious heart, which had been preoccupied with procuring food, finally settled down.

He glanced down at Lu Qiqi's rounded head, and his voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke, "Don't worry. This time, no one will be able to leak the news."

Lu Qiqi didn't know why he was so confident about this, but when she looked up and met his eyes, she felt that he could definitely do it.

Perhaps he came up with a way to strengthen defenses to deal with the Tartars.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Song Yanqing then closed and locked the granary.

On the other side.

The soldiers in the grain camp, who were preparing to go to work in the fields, were all stunned when they saw the white and black expanse in front of them.
