"Father, your armor is a little icy..."

Qin Canglan then realized that he was too excited. He was dirty with the blood of the enemy. How could he rub his precious granddaughter in blood? Su Xiaoxiao simply felt that it was too cold.

Qin Canglan reluctantly let go of his precious granddaughter, then raised his hand and touched her head: "You've lost weight, give me the helmet."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao handed him the heavy helmet.

Two soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield not far away were whispering. They were subdued by Su Xiaoxiao from the village. They also participated in the robbery but failed.

"Did you think the boss was a little cute just now?"

"Yes, yes."

Wei Xun, who was standing by, glared at the two of them and shouted in a low voice, "Are you two out of your minds? Zhou Lie's head is still hanging on the chariot. Who cut it off? You or me?"

Wei Xun was a legal advisor with average fighting skills. He did not charge into battle, but instead prepared weapons and tools in the rear, such as the special arrows and kerosene just used.

After the fight broke out, he retreated to the rear and saw the entire battle clearly.

When I first robbed her, I just thought she was fearless and calm. Later, I thought she was wealthy, smart, and later... she was not squeamish, her skills were pretty good... and a little courageous.

To this day——

Please accept my knees! "Alas, I was so stupid to rob her..."

Wei Xun touched his intact neck and went to clean up the next battlefield with fear.

Qin Canglan looked at his precious granddaughter, who was exhausted from all the hardships. If he knew, how could he bear to let her suffer the hardships of marching and fighting? "What's going on? Didn't you go to the Western Jin Dynasty? Where's Wei Ting?"

He uttered three soul-torturing questions in one breath.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly later. Grandfather and the soldiers are hungry, right? Let's eat something first."

After she finished speaking, she turned to a young man in armor who was quietly cleaning up the battlefield and said, "Jing Yi, have everyone take out their dry food and distribute it to the soldiers in the city."

Qin Canglan was surprised. Jing Yi was here too? Yes, this guy had been guarding his precious granddaughter during the battle just now. He said he looked familiar.

Qin Canglan asked: "Give it all to us, what do you eat?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I have stored a lot of food and fodder. Don't worry, Grandfather. We are not short of food. My people just lack sleep. They haven't slept for too long and need to rest."

"This is easy." Qin Canglan called Liu Ren and asked him to take Su Xiaoxiao's army to the camp to rest, and leave the battlefield to them to clean up.

The soldiers in the city were just starving, and they would have the strength to work once they filled their stomachs.

Jing Yi and Liu Ren reorganized the troops of both sides, handed over the tasks one by one, and received dry food in an orderly manner.

Su Xiaoxiao was very generous with the food. Every soldier's rations included not only steamed buns, pancakes, and green onions, but also a small piece of cooked bacon.

When the soldiers of Zibo Town opened the dry food package and saw meat inside, their eyes widened.

They haven't had meat for a month! They even forgot what broth tastes like!

"Is this okay?" a soldier asked. Are you sure you don't want to keep it for yourself?

Wei Xun said generously: "Take it."

Follow the boss, there will be meat to eat! After four days and four nights of hunger, the soldiers of Zibo Town finally had a full meal. Snow was falling from the sky. They sat in the bloody snow under the tower, talking and laughing. Many people had dirty faces, and some even had frostbite, but this severe winter would no longer be difficult for them to survive.

Qin Canglan waited until the last soldier received his share of food before he took the dry food handed to him by Jing Yi.

He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and found that the little girl had fallen asleep sitting in the corner of the city gate.

"We recaptured Jia County last night, and the battle just ended this morning. The army rested for an hour, but she didn't rest. She treated the wounds of the people. Then she marched all the way here, and without taking a breath, she started fighting again."

Jing Yi calmly recounted his experiences on the road, but Qin Canglan was terrified when he heard it. Fighting all night, forced marching, no rest, and then fighting again, even he and Wu Anjun had never dared to do this.

Qin Canglan looked at the army brought by Su Xiaoxiao, whose armor and weapons were not uniform. The armor was pieced together, but the morale she gathered was indestructible.

Qin Canglan's heart was swollen and he didn't know how to describe it.

He bent down, picked up his sleeping granddaughter and put her into the carriage, then took her and Jing Yi back to the camp in Zibo Town.

Su Xiaoxiao slept until the next morning.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar tent. Her armor had been removed. She moved her toes in confusion: "Huh?"

"woke up?"

Qin Canglan came over and looked at her lovingly.

The stern commander-in-chief only showed his gentle side in front of her.

Qin Canglan said, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer? Forget it, you're already awake, eat something first and then go to sleep."

Speaking of food, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she had not yet taken out the food.

"Grandfather, wait for me."

She secretly found a warehouse and moved out the rice and bacon.

Fortunately, the pharmacy only liked gold, and she moved most of these things by herself. Later, the pharmacy probably became impatient and threw her out along with the food.

That’s good, it saves a lot of trouble.

She clapped her hands, took a long breath, and opened the curtain of the warehouse. Wei Xun and Zhang Yong looked at her in amazement.

"Boss, why are you here?" Wei Xun asked.

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat: "I... count the food!"

Wei Xun was surprised: "The food and grass have arrived?"

Su Xiaoxiao remained calm and said, "Yes, Fusu sent someone to deliver it when you were sleeping."

"I see." Wei Xun nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, boss. Leave the counting of food and grass to me from now on."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

She returned to Qin Canglan's tent, and Wei Xun also took Zhang Yong away.

Zhang Yong looked back at the warehouse and said, "I passed by here this morning and the warehouse was empty."

Wei Xun said, "You must have seen it wrong! Let's go, it's time to train the troops!"

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to Qin Canglan's tent, Qin Canglan was repairing Su Xiaoxiao's armor, and Jing Yi was also there.

"Grandfather, Jing Yi."

She said hello.

Qin Canglan pointed to the stool opposite: "Come over and eat something."

Su Xiaoxiao came over and looked at the delicious food on the table. She was slightly surprised: "Roasted rabbit?"

Qin Canglan said: "Jing Yi went out to get it, eat it while it's hot."

Su Xiaoxiao tore off two rabbit legs: "Grandfather, Jingyi, you guys eat too, I don't eat alone."

Qin Canglan smiled helplessly: "Okay, leave it there, I'll eat it after I finish repairing the armor."

Su Xiaoxiao put one down and handed one to Jing Yi: "Jing Yi, you eat it."

"Oh." Jing Yi took the rabbit leg.

Su Xiaoxiao took a bite and found it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely delicious.

I don’t know if it’s because she consumed too much energy during the war, but she has been eating a lot more recently.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Grandfather, I met Leng Kui yesterday. He came out from the direction of Wengcheng with two thousand men and horses. I don't know what he was doing."

When Leng Kui was mentioned, a hint of coldness flashed in Qin Canglan's eyes.

He took away all the military pay, causing so many soldiers to almost starve to death.

Qin Canglan sighed: "It's a pity that Yaocheng is difficult to pass. The Qin army can't get there for a while, otherwise I would lead the troops to kill Leng Kui right now!"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Yaocheng?"

Qin Canglan nodded: "Yaocheng's defender Dou Xiao is Leng Kui's confidant."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around, and she silently took out Dou Xiao's token and placed it on the table: "Dou Xiao, kill him."

Qin Canglan was stunned: "...There is also the Yunshui Town's garrison commander Quan Fei, Baihe County's county magistrate Sun Peng...The only way to get to Zibo Town is controlled by the Leng family's forces--"

Su Xiaoxiao took out Quan Fei's token, Magistrate Sun's official seal, and General Zhang's military seal...

Qin Canglan gasped! How many of Leng Kui's confidants did you kill?

See you tomorrow.
