When Zhou Qing and the others returned to the city, they saw Liu Siping and Liu Si'an standing outside the door with a table in front of them.
On the table was an offering tablet for the Serpent Immortal. The two knelt on the ground facing the tablet, chanting incantations such as, "Please, Serpent Immortal, show your power and protect the people of my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom..." and so on. They repeated these phrases many times.
This was mainly to give Liu Sisi a pretext to come up with rice.
Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. Although he believed in the Snake Immortal, he had never seen anything like this before.
Although Zhou Qing had some doubts, he didn't say anything, while Ruan Xicheng had no suspicions whatsoever.
He had long known that Liu Sisi was extraordinary; the martial arts manual that Liu Sisi had casually given him back then had made him invincible in his country.
Even though Wang Zheng brought food, everyone won't go hungry tonight.
However, seeing that there wasn't much food, the cooks didn't dare to cook much, and each person only received a bowl of thin porridge that was barely visible.
The soldiers all hoped that, as the princess had said, the granary would be filled with grain by tomorrow morning.
After Liu Sisi and the others had fallen asleep, she took out her magic brush, drew a door, and crawled into the granary.
There's still a lingering smell of burnt grain here. Although the door has been replaced and the floor has been cleaned, the smell hasn't dissipated.
She first went into the space where she stored grains and used her mind to pack all the rice. There were no rice bags in the space, but given the current situation, she shouldn't be too demanding. She would just fill the granary first.
After using his mind to cook rice in the space for two hours, he left the space.
With a wave of her hand, the granary was filled to the brim. After finishing, she took out a pen, drew a door, and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, everyone woke up hungry. How could a bowl of thin porridge be enough to fill them up?
After waking up, the cooks ran to the granary. They were the ones who most hoped that Princess Anning's words would come true, because only with grain could they have rice to cook.
One of the fastest runners opened the granary door and was buried under the overflowing rice.
He quickly got up, threw his head back, and laughed loudly. Rice grains were stuck to his mouth, face, and hair, making him look particularly comical.
Haha... Princess Anning is right, the Snake Immortal is indeed protecting our Heavenly Dragon Kingdom.
"With so much rice, we can definitely hold out until we drive out the Jin-Liao Kingdom."
The cooks behind him quickened their pace upon hearing his voice, and seeing the scene before them, they were just as excited as he was, holding rice and laughing heartily.
However, one of the more level-headed individuals grabbed a handful of rice and went to report to Zhou Qing, though he completely forgot about etiquette.
Standing in front of Zhou Qingmen, she shouted loudly, "General, we are saved! Our granary is really full, and it's full of big, plump grains of japonica rice. The princess is simply a miracle worker!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Qing immediately got up and opened the door.
