Someone couldn't help but ask, "Deputy General Jiang, are these grains and canned meat sent to us by Princess Fubao?"
They had heard that Princess Fubao suddenly descended from the sky today to save everyone.
Deputy General Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, these are specially prepared and sent by Princess Fubao for everyone."
Everyone was very curious, so someone asked: "I only heard that Princess Fubao flew to the city, but I didn't see anyone else flying in. How did all these grains and canned meat get in?"
Deputy General Jiang did not hide it, "These were all sent in by the old immortal master who passed away Princess Fubao."
He asked before he left, and Shi Qingluo asked him to tell the truth to everyone, which would be more conducive to boosting morale.
Deputy General Jiang also thought it made sense. He even saw with his own eyes that the old immortal helped transport so many things over, and he felt that good fortune would befall them.
After all, they have the protection of the old immortal.
As for why he thought so, didn't he see that Princess Fubao was also in the city? Would the old immortal see his beloved disciple in trouble? Absolutely impossible.
These words stunned all the soldiers present, "What, the old immortal sent it, how is this possible?"
Deputy General Jiang said proudly: "How can it be impossible? We saw it with our own eyes."
Then he recounted the story of how Princess Fubao asked the old immortal for help.
"I took Princess Fubao to see the empty warehouse, and when I opened it a moment later, it was full of things."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that such a mysterious thing could actually exist in the world."
Several soldiers around him also said: "Yes, we saw it at the time. Although it is unbelievable, it is true."
Seeing that those few people did not seem to be lying, the other soldiers all looked shocked.
But it's still a little hard to believe.
Deputy General Jiang saw what everyone was thinking. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If it weren't for the old immortal's help, would the food and canned food you eat have appeared out of thin air?"
"You all know that, apart from Princess Fubao who descended from the sky today, no one else flew in or entered through the city gate."
After hearing this, almost everyone believed it.
Yes, if there was no help from the old immortal, how would all these grains and canned food have been transported in?
Moreover, during the day, Princess Fubao flew into the city, bypassing the encirclement of the Ge Kingdom. How could she have done that without divine means?
"Great! This is not our destiny!"
"It's all thanks to Princess Youfu Bao, otherwise we would have starved to death in the city or been massacred by the Ge soldiers who broke into the city."
"Yes, Princess Fubao has been very kind to us, as has her old immortal master."
"We are also protected by the old immortal, so we will not die this time."
"Yes, we may be able to turn defeat into victory in this battle."
"Then let's go out and fight. I've had enough of those beasts from the Ge Kingdom."
"Yes, let's go out and beat them. I have plenty of energy now that I have eaten and drunk enough."
The outcome was originally destined to be a failure, but now with Princess Fubao and the old immortal behind her, the outcome is no longer certain.
Deputy General Jiang saw that not only had everyone's morale returned, but they were also excited and eager to fight.
So he struck while the iron was hot, "You still have a meal in the morning, so prepare to break out after you finish eating."
Then he warned: "Tomorrow's battle will also be commanded by Princess Fubao. You can't disobey military orders just because she is a woman."
If it were any other so-called princess, the soldiers would definitely not be convinced.
How could they possibly listen to a woman's orders? But this was Princess Fubao, the disciple of the old immortal! "Don't worry, Deputy General Jiang. With Princess Fubao in command, we have more confidence to survive. The old immortal is standing behind her."
"And if Princess Fubao hadn't come over, we would have starved to death. How could we have a full meal and a bowl of canned meat?"
The big men patted their chests and promised, "We will definitely follow the orders of Princess Fubao."
After eating and drinking, they were no longer desperate and started chatting and laughing.
"This canned meat is really damn delicious. Princess Fubao is so kind to us."
"It's much better than those grandsons in the Ministry of War. What kind of military rations are they sending? It's good enough to have a full meal a day, not to mention the taste."
"We should really let those grandsons see the gap between them and Princess Fubao."
"I heard that the main reason is that the Ministry of Revenue is too stingy and has been cutting our military spending."
"The old guys in the Ministry of Revenue are not doing their jobs but like to target us. They keep saying that military expenses are high and need to be cut. I haven't received my salary for two months."
"That's right, those old guys are just eating for free."
"It would be great if Lord Xiao was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Princess Fubao is a golden child, and Lord Xiao is capable. If he goes to the Ministry of Revenue to fill up the national treasury, our military expenditures will not be cut so much anymore."
"I also hope that Lord Xiao will go to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. If not, the Ministry of War would be fine too!"
Deputy General Jiang listened to their words and actually agreed with them in his heart.
His Majesty the Emperor now cares about the soldiers on the frontiers, but the Ministry of Revenue is as stingy as a bastard and every time we go to ask for military funds, the Ministry says there is none.
If the Ministry of Revenue does not allocate funds, the food and armaments prepared by the Ministry of War will be of very poor quality.
He was just eating steamed buns with canned meat, and he felt the taste was delicious, let alone these ordinary soldiers.
However, what they said became more and more outrageous, and they even started to make irresponsible remarks about court officials.
He immediately said with a fierce face: "Okay, stop talking nonsense."
In fact, he also hoped that Lord Xiao would go to the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War in the future, which would definitely be better than the current Minister of Revenue and Minister of War.
If he could get out alive, he would reveal the soldiers' thoughts to the Third Prince.
I hope it can reach the emperor's ears by then.
After Deputy General Jiang's warning, everyone stopped talking about the previous topic and left with a smile to replace the defenders who came down to eat.
Several soldiers mixed in with the crowd and left, then found various excuses to sneak away.
Either the message was to be delivered by an eagle, or someone had tied the message to a dog's belly and was going to release the dog through a small dog hole dug under the city wall.
However, before they could release the eagles or dogs, they were caught by the royal secret guards that King Yi had arranged to keep an eye on them.
These people are good at investigation and surveillance, so none of Ge State's spies escaped.
Therefore, Yelu Donghe, who had been waiting for news outside, became a little anxious.
"Why hasn't there been any news from inside yet?"
The deputy general also felt that something was wrong. If the news had come by this time in the past, it would have been known long ago. And with Princess Fubao going in today, there should have been even more news.
"I'll send someone to take a look."
So they sent a signal, and when it got dark, they ran to the city wall and imitated the barking of dogs.
But no news was sent out, which made Yelu Donghe's face dark.
