Han Mingyuan's family members all went back to sleep.
Lu Xiaonan was frozen.
The room was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!
He was surrounded by firewood, looking at the unfamiliar place and recalling everything he had just experienced.
He didn't speak rashly; he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
Han Luoyu is terrifying. He thinks she did it on purpose, but unfortunately she has no evidence.
I moved carefully on one foot; my bandaged, injured foot still hurt a lot.
To his dismay, he discovered that the door to the woodshed was locked from the outside!
Damn it, this is outrageous!
He wanted to shout for help, but he was too tired and hungry, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.
If he doesn't go back, Jinghua will come looking for him.
...
"General, General, guess who's here?"
A surprised voice made the old man in the room frown unhappily:
"You're so impulsive and rash. When will you ever be able to settle down a bit?"
However, the old man was not the only one in the room at this time.
There were five or six more, and judging by their attire, they were also generals.
"General, people are our foundation. Your subordinates know the importance of horses, but what use are horses if our men are starving to death?"
"That's right, old general, let's leave everyone a way out first."
"Yes, everyone is so hungry they don't have any energy. They haven't eaten for three days."
During the three years of famine, there wasn't even enough food for the army.
This year in particular, the imperial court's military supplies and pay have been delayed for a long time!
When asked, they said they couldn't raise the funds.
Their soldiers changed their diet from one meal a day to one meal of porridge a day.
By now, everyone has gone three days without eating.
Fortunately, the situation on the other side was not good either; otherwise, if the enemy attacked at this time, they would have been hit every time.
Their men are too weak to fight.
The imperial court is really something. They're not paying the soldiers. Do they want them to starve to death?
The generals were heartbroken, but what could they do?
We can't just kill them and feed them to the soldiers, can we?
Even if we killed them, how many people would we have enough to eat?
"Warhorses are not to be eaten!"
Compared to them, the old general was extremely stubborn.
"Do you know that we don't have many warhorses to begin with? If we kill them, what will we do then? What if the enemy comes riding warhorses? How will we fight them?"
"Besides, with military pay nowhere in sight, how long can killing a few warhorses sustain us?"
"So what should we do?"
"Are we just going to wait to starve to death?"
The soldier who had just come to deliver the message looked at everyone's discussion and his expression changed.
He seems to have come in at the worst possible time.
With so many people here, he couldn't really say who it was.
Just as the soldier was about to leave, someone called out to him:
"Who did you just say came? Did the imperial court send someone with provisions?"
This is the only piece of news that can pique their interest even a little bit.
Upon hearing his words, everyone who had been discussing animatedly stopped and stared intently at Xiaobing.
The soldier trembled slightly in fright. It was the first time he had been stared at like that by so many people. Why was he a little scared?
"No, I'm not a member of the imperial court."
He hurriedly tried to explain, but everyone sighed and complained that it wasn't food supplies, so no one had any interest in listening anymore.
"Who did you just say came?"
The old general, recalling the soldier's earlier words, raised an eyebrow in annoyance:
"It'd better be someone important, otherwise, hmph..."
He's very upset right now. He ordered his men to buy grain a long time ago, but they've gone several times and haven't received much. Everyone is still hungry.
Seeing the extremely haggard-looking old general, the soldier hurriedly spoke:
"This is that young master's jade pendant."
If only the old general were present, he would naturally state his name directly.
But with so many people here, he dared not speak!
Upon seeing the jade pendant handed to him, the old general's pupils contracted sharply. Why was he here?
This place is dangerous!
Although he had cleaned it several times, but...
With such a large military unit, it's inevitable that there will be people with ill intentions.
If his information is leaked, it will be an endless pursuit.
He didn't want that person to be in danger.
He's already injured, and that position is hopeless. I just hope he can live a peaceful and safe life.
"Let's call it a day."
No matter how turbulent his heart was, the old general's expression remained calm.
Everyone was curious about who the newcomer was, but they didn't dare ask too many questions. Before leaving, they reminded each other:
"General, I hope you will give the matter of the horses more consideration."
"snort."
The old general was a stubborn man; he knew that no matter what, the horses could not be killed.
If we kill them, they will regret it later.
"Bring him in quickly."
The old general spoke excitedly.
"No, I'll go out and meet him."
It's been years. I wonder how that kid is doing now? Is he still the same as before?
I wonder if he's gotten a bit stronger?
"General, they are still at the camp gate."
"Old General".
Han Yuchen and Han Luoxue stood in front of the camp gate, and Zhuifeng had already been taken into Han Luoxue's spatial storage.
Although she didn't know what breed the little red horse was, seeing that even the Crown Prince had noticed it that day, Han Luoxue became more cautious and tried to appear in public as little as possible.
What brings you here?
The old general frowned, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Han Yuchen, and finally sighed:
"You've gotten much stronger. Let's go back first."
