Xue Mier originally wanted to leave with the army, but when she was halfway, she suddenly remembered that she had not left with Qin Shuo yet.
At that time, Xue Mier thought for a long time and thought that this was a good opportunity to sever her relationship with Qin Shuo.
At that time, Hu Xiao looked into her eyes and asked, "Xue Mier, have you thought about it clearly?
Hu Xiao sincerely said that Xue Mier was someone of the Emperor. Even if she and the Emperor went and left each other, in essence, no one would dare to go against the Emperor.
"Hu Xiao, I have thought it through, I know what I want, I have my own dreams, I do not want to stay in the palace forever, and continue to live the rest of my life in the name of the Imperial Consort Xue." This was what Xue Mier said. She had grown up in her room and understood these principles.
Seeing that she was determined, Hu Xiao let her go back.
But she never thought that Xue Mier would encounter an accident on the way. This accident almost took her life.
Xue Mier met the food delivery team on the road. From afar, she saw the military flag, and just as she was about to go greet them, her heart was thumping hard, as though something was amiss.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks, some sounds of fighting could be heard beside her ears, causing Xue Mier to become terrified, and immediately hid under the bushes. She moved her trembling body, trembling as she moved towards the direction of the food cart.
Not long later, the shouts gradually stopped, and Xue Mier stopped in her tracks. Separated by the plants, she could clearly see the thieves taking off the food officer’s clothes and putting them on.
Who were these people, and why did they want to infiltrate the East Court’s army?
Xue Mier had never seen such a scene before, her heart trembled. She covered the corner of her mouth, trying her best not to let out a single sound.
"The matter has been settled. One person is to return to report to Master Wen while the rest of the people are to deliver the supplies." The leader calmly instructed.
Master Wen? Xue Mier was shocked, and thought, could the Master Wen they were talking about be his cousin?
Xue Mier swallowed her saliva, her heart instantly turning cold. Why would her cousin do such a crazy thing?
When warriors went out to war, what they needed the most was food. These people did not come here to rob food, but rather ... Not good, they had to do something with the grain.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Mier saw that they had sprinkled some powder on the food.
Not good, I need to go back quickly and tell this matter to Hu Xiao before them.
"Boss, if we do this, won’t we be discovered?" the attendants asked as they changed their clothes.
The leader coldly glanced at him and impatiently said, "What are you worrying about? By the time they found out, they were already dead."
Hearing this, Xue Mier felt that she could no longer stay. She bent down, and retreated step by step, but accidentally stepped on a tree branch.
The branches made a crunching sound, which was extremely clear in the wilderness.
"Oh no, there’s someone!" The leader was shocked and turned to look in Xue Mier’s direction.
Xue Mier spread her long and slender legs and quickly ran forward. When she saw the white horse not far away, she used all her might and frantically climbed up.
"Giddy ..." Xue Mier whipped her horse as hard as she could. She kept looking back, trying to get rid of the enemies behind her.
"Hurry up, don’t let her get away, otherwise we’ll be the ones to die." The leader said in a cold tone. He increased his speed and continued to beat up his horses as hard as he could, just like Xue Mier.
Xue Mier had a strong desire to live, she only had one wish in her heart, and that was to quickly find Hu Xiao and tell her that the food had been taken advantage of.
She had been chased all the way. Fortunately, she had learned some self-defense while training. Otherwise, she would have died a long time ago.
On the front line, the enemy attacked ferociously as if they didn’t care about their lives. Hu Xiao commanded the army calmly.
Although the frontline attacks were important, the supply from the rear was also extremely important. Otherwise, what would the soldiers from the frontline eat?
Hu Xiao called Zhao Qiyan over and explained in a serious tone: "Zhao Qiyan, I will be in charge of matters at the front lines. From today onwards, you take care of the rear so that you can ensure the daily supplies of the soldiers."
With that said, Zhao Qiyan immediately refused to accept it. He was a stately general of a country, yet Hu Xiao wanted him to manage the rear guard? He was a man, and he should have fought at the front.
"No, I don’t want to hide behind a woman. I am a general of a country, I want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy." Zhao Qiyan patted his chest and said with a firm voice.
Why should he hide behind the scenes and manage the logistics?
Hu Xiao had long predicted his reaction. Hu Xiao smiled as she poured him a cup of tea and said in all seriousness: "Zhao Qiyan, the reason I entrust the rear to you is because I value your ability. You should know, the rear is as important as the front lines, the reason the soldiers can fight against the enemy on the battlefield is all because of the rear support."
Hu Xiao paused for a moment, then continued, "Don’t look down on the logistics. If the logistics are not adequate, it will often affect the outcome of a war."
Hearing Hu Xiao say that, Zhao Qiyan thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said was reasonable.
"Zhao Qiyan, believe me, I won’t be overused," Hu Xiao smiled, her smile seemed to be filled with magic, as Zhao Qiyan miraculously didn’t refute her, and obediently went back.
After going back, Zhao Qiyan checked his military assets, seeing that the supplies had not arrived yet, he asked his subordinates.
"General Zhao, the food will arrive soon." At this time, a loud voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Zhao Qiyan heaved a sigh of relief. These days, he had been worried about the issue of food the most.
"Alright, find a few people to gather the food with this general." Zhao Qiyan rubbed his nose and said excitedly.
Zhao Qiyan brought a few people with him. Originally, he wanted to pick up the food, but he met the dying Xue Mier.
"General Zhao, look, there’s a person up ahead." the guard said in surprise, pointing to the people on the roadside.
Beside Xue Mier, there was a handsome horse. The horse squatted and stayed by Xue Mier’s side.
"Quickly go and see who it is." Zhao Qiyan frowned, something was not right, why would there be people by the side of the road?!
Zhao Qiyan was extremely puzzled, and immediately urged his subordinates to take a look.
"General Zhao, come over here quickly. I think it’s the imperial concubine." His voice was loud, with a tinge of terror, and it was harsh to hear.
