Chapter 1216 Arrival at Beihan Country
When Wanyan Lie hurried to the entrance of the cave, he was completely stunned by what he saw.
“………………”
how so!
I felt my head buzzing and almost fell backwards.
"What's going on?"
He looked at the cave in front of him with rage. The cave, which was originally full of food, was now turned into scorched earth.
It would take more than a short time to burn so much food into ashes.
"Reporting to the Governor, our subordinates were unaware that the gates were locked properly. We only discovered this this morning."
The team leader came to Wanyan Lie trembling, he didn't know what was going on.
There is clearly only one entrance to this warehouse, which is the cave entrance. They locked it tightly and the padlock is still on.
I don’t know how the food inside caught fire, and how it burned so cleanly.
Looking at the thick scorched earth, it must have been burning for a long time.
“………………” Wanyan Lie closed his eyes.
I felt a buzzing pain in my head. In this warehouse, there were food and fodder to be transported to Dongping State.
There was still a year's worth of food and fodder for the 200,000 defenders, and now it's all turned to ashes. How can I explain this to my lord?
The warehouse was so heavily guarded, and the big lock on the door was also locked, so how could there be a fire inside?
Suddenly his eyes lit up and his look became sharp.
“………………”
It must have been them. After all, his camp was heavily guarded, and only those two people had been in. They must have been involved.
I'm just curious, how did they do it with so many guards here?
Just as he was feeling suspicious, the right general came up to him.
"General, what about Dongping State?"
The grain team was originally planning to set off this morning, but now this has happened.
Wanyan Lie glanced at the right general, then glanced at the scorched earth in the cave, his eyes filled with ruthless determination.
"Let them wait a few more days, and I will submit a memorial to the Emperor."
After saying this, he strode away, thinking that burning the food would bring peace. How could that be possible?
He will now submit a memorial to the emperor and collect grain again. Once the grain is delivered, it will be sent to Dongping State first. Han Muchen can forget about living in peace.
By the time Dongping Kingdom received the letter, it was three or four days later.
I was so angry when I heard that the food and grass were burned. The enemy had an army of 300,000 troops approaching the border, but such a big loophole appeared.
It would take at least one or two months to regroup food and supplies, so there was no choice but to withdraw the army.
After hearing the news of the withdrawal of troops from the Dongping border, Han Muchen became more convinced that it was related to Chuxiong.
It is also closely related to the batch of grain they burned. Judging from the current situation, it should be peaceful for the time being.
Since I promised Chuchu to go to Beihan, now should be the most appropriate time.
After hearing the news, Qin Chuchu was the happiest person. The only drawback was that she could not stay in Beihan for a few days.
However, I also know that the situation at the border is tense and there may be changes at any time, so it is impossible to stay outside forever.
I'd be happy if I could just go and have a look.
As the night deepened and everyone fell asleep, six cars passed through the west city gate and headed directly onto the Beihan Highway.
Qin Chuchu, Han Muchen, Siyue, Feng Liu, Feng Qi, and Feng Er each drove a car.
Except for one car that they planned to drive when they returned, the other five were gifts for their father and eldest brother.
There were also a lot of their favorite foods in the car.
The car stopped shortly after it started driving.
"Master, I will just look here."
Feng Er pointed at the wasteland in front of him. There was not even a ghost. If he entered the princess's space from here, he should not be discovered by others.
"Yeah." The man nodded, looked at the darkness around him, and felt that he would not be discovered, so he looked at Qin Chuchu again.
Qin Chuchu waved her hand, and when she reappeared, she was on the grass in the paradise.
Looking at the pile of grain in front of him, the man's face immediately turned cold.
"What's going on?"
He pointed at the food in front of him and looked at Chuchu in front of him with dissatisfaction.
Although he asked this question, he knew in his heart that these grains must be from the Chuxiong cave warehouse.
I had specifically told Chuchu not to take the food back, but she did it anyway.
“………………” Qin Chuchu’s mouth twitched.
I actually forgot about this matter and was caught red-handed, so I couldn't make excuses.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, I just brought back this little bit of food because I felt it was a pity to burn it."
After saying that, he gestured a little with his hands, pretending to be indifferent.
“………………”The man’s face turned completely dark.
Looking at the huge pile of grain in front of me, it must weigh at least millions of pounds, and this is just a small amount.
Just as he was about to yell a few more times, Feng Liu came over.
"Master, there isn't much food here, so we shouldn't find anything."
"Yes, I don't think there's any problem with that either."
Feng Qi also agreed. Now that the princess has brought the food back, it’s useless to say anything.
What's more, I heard Feng Yi say before that there are so many foods in the Chuxiong cave, so it shouldn't be a big problem if these are gone.
“………………”Han Muchen pinched his eyebrows.
He looked at Chu Chu with dissatisfaction. What else could he do now that he had taken it back? Even if he found out, he would have to do the same.
Seeing that his master was not going to pursue the matter, Feng Qi hurriedly looked at Qin Chuchu.
"Princess, hurry up!"
After saying that, he winked at her, and Qin Chuchu immediately understood.
"Oh, okay." She nodded quickly, and with a wave of her hand, the convoy arrived a few hundred meters away from the gate of Beihan Palace.
Looking at the Beihan Imperial Palace so close at hand, Qin Chuchu was extremely excited. Just as she was about to run over with a grin on her face, the man grabbed her neck from behind.
"Don't you want the car anymore?" Han Muchen glared at her dissatisfiedly.
After all, each person drives one car. If Chuchu doesn't drive, who will drive the remaining car?
Qin Chuchu turned around and remembered the car she was driving, grinning.
"Oh, I forgot, hehe..."
He excitedly ran to the car he was driving and was the first to rush to the palace gate.
The guards at the gate had never seen such a big guy before and thought there was danger, so they immediately sounded the alarm.
In the blink of an eye, a large group of soldiers surrounded the vehicles tightly.
"Who dares to act rashly here? Surrender now!"
The leader held the long sword in his hand and glared at the people in the car with anger.
The others were also staring at it nervously, not knowing what was in front of them.
Qin Chuchu hurriedly took out the princess's order from her arms, opened the car window, and waved it in front of everyone.
"Hurry up and tell them that Princess Mingzhu is here!"
Qin Chuchu tried her best to control her excitement, but still grinned.
Looking at the palace in front of me, I wish I could rush in right now to see what my father and elder brother are doing.
"Princess Mingzhu?" The leader frowned.
He came closer and looked at the token carefully. After a brief hesitation, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Meet Princess Mingzhu!"
