Mu Zhicheng understood immediately: "Okay, I'll bring it to you next time I come! But you need to hurry up with things with Chu Zhenhe, otherwise the Chu family will definitely be doomed."
Just then, Chu Xiao's phone rang.
I tapped the screen and saw it was a call from the antique shop owner.
He quickly answered the call and heard a charming, soft laugh coming from the other end: "Congratulations, Mr. Chu, Miss Huo's auction is arranged. It will be at Tiandu Winery at nine o'clock tonight. Please come alone."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao's eyes lit up.
"It's a success! The auction is a success!"
Mu Zhicheng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
"I didn't expect you to use an auction to attract the attention of CEO Meng Xingchen. Impressive! Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need, just get the heavy crossbow ready for me as soon as possible, I can go by myself."
"Then be careful."
Chu Xiao nodded, and his phone vibrated again.
He opened the message and found that it was from the owner of a film props store.
So he stopped talking to Mu Zhicheng and drove straight to the farm.
He needed to deliver these weapons to Qin Yuezhao as soon as possible.
Qin Yue Zhao hadn't slept all night and was leading her men back to the general's mansion from the military camp.
There were few emaciated refugees left on both sides of the road. Occasionally, a few ragged old men were being helped by the young people who had gone to the general's mansion to collect porridge.
Steward Chen was a kind-hearted man, and he specially ordered his servants to set aside a pot of porridge for those people who had traveled a long way.
In the past two days, everyone in the city knew that the General's Mansion was distributing porridge, and young men were scrambling to line up at the conscription office. Overnight, 28,000 people had already been recruited.
The men who were not conscripted followed the old, weak, sick and disabled to help the city guards build the city walls.
To encourage men to join the army, Qin Yuezhao made sure the food in the military camp was better than the porridge in the general's mansion.
In the morning, I have plain congee with pickled vegetables. At noon, I have steamed rice, vegetables and meat, and tomato and egg soup.
In the evening, there were dumplings made with vegetables and salt.
It's even better than what we ate during the prosperous times.
The people were grateful to the princess, and as they saw her along the way, they knelt down and kowtowed to thank her for opening the granaries and distributing grain to help them and their families.
As Qin Yue Zhao watched her people gradually regain their strength, she greeted each and every one of them with satisfaction.
Just then, a group of girls dressed in coarse linen clothes suddenly ran over from not far away.
Upon seeing Qin Yue Zhao, they all knelt down.
"Your Highness, we have heard that the General's Mansion is recruiting female soldiers. Please accept us!"
"Your Highness, my father was a hunter and taught me archery. I also want to go to the battlefield and fight!"
"Liangcheng has been besieged for months. It is thanks to you that you have invoked the gods to save the people. You are the true god in our hearts. We look up to you, want to follow you, and serve you!"
Qin Yue Zhao stopped and looked at the girl who had spoken.
The oldest of them was in their thirties, and the youngest was only fifteen or sixteen. They were all thin and dressed in tattered clothes, but their eyes were bright and determined.
Chen Wan'er rushed up, covered in dust, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, from last night until now, I have recruited eight thousand female soldiers, and they are all willing to join Your Highness's banner to protect Liang City!"
Qin Yue Zhao's eyes welled up with tears, but she smiled and helped everyone up.
“Good, very good! From now on, you will follow Chen Wan’er and let her teach you women’s martial arts.”
"Wan'er, the nobles have arrived at the General's Mansion. Come with me to meet them."
