As expected, Qian Ruoyu saw the two of them eating porridge with pickles and salted radishes.
Seeing how poor the two were, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
After all, she lived in the palace with her servants every day, who were dressed in fine clothes and ate delicious food, and almost never knew what porridge with pickles meant.
Now after seeing their goalkeeper, Lian Qian Ruoyu suddenly felt a little bit sorry for them and was speechless for a moment.
After Chu Mobai and Si Yin saw her like this, they naturally knew that it seemed that she really couldn't accept it.
Chu Mobai spoke to Qian Ruoyu with a little reluctance at this time.
"Princess, if you really don't like it, you can go back now... It's okay, I can accept it. It's just that the food in the barracks will be a little worse."
Si Yin beside him also nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes. I guess life in the palace is similar to that in the military camp. At least we can still eat some rice porridge. I wonder if we can eat some good food in the palace?"
But what she was thinking in this matter was completely different from what the two people were thinking. After all, she had sent them several million taels of silver before.
Where is the money?
Was all of it used to purchase military equipment and uniforms?
After she looked around, she found that there were some new things in the big tent.
This includes a large table, on which is placed a brand new simulation map of the dune battlefield.
Qian Ruoyu ignored the two of them and instead walked around the military camp. Only then did he discover that some of the soldiers who had been cold were now wearing new clothes.
Even the original dilapidated fence has been repaired, and several new roads have been added to the camp. These roads are paved entirely with small pebbles, making them more comfortable to walk on.
After seeing these huge changes, Qian Ruoyu knew without even thinking about it that the prince was obviously using the money to repair the entire military camp.
No wonder the two of them were still eating porridge at this time, and sure enough, he came to several soldiers who were eating.
After opening their pot, I found that there was some dry rice soaked in hot water in the pot. There was also a small piece of dried meat and some wild vegetables in front of each person's seat.
The more Qian Ruoyu saw this, the more she felt that Chu Mobai was really helpless in treating his soldiers. No wonder these people were willing to follow him even if they didn't have their pay for several months.
The more this happened, the more she could feel Chu Mobai's sadness!
She had finally begged for several million silver coins, but now all of it was spent in the military camp. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she did not give him all the silver, otherwise he would have spent all of the money, which would have made the emperor even more wary!
After thinking about this, she decided to increase the nutritional level of Chu Mobai and Si Yin now!
That’s why she immediately notified Dahonglou.
Qian Ruoyu then walked back into the big tent, and at this time Chu Mobai's face was already showing guilt.
He spoke to her first.
"This...Princess, don't look at the way we are eating now. I also know that you just went to the military camp to check it out. What I did...is actually nothing. You don't have to worry so much!"
"Besides, we are just eating porridge now. I still have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in my hand. If we need to march out, I can use this hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to deal with emergencies. At least it can allow my men to barely hold on until Jiayu Pass."
But after hearing this, she shook her head helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver may not be enough to support you to Jiayu Pass. By the time you reach Jiayu Pass, maybe only 500 of the 5,000 people will be left. That would be good enough, right?"
She wasn't kidding.
Because if we continue to move forward with this amount of silver, it will only be enough to barely supply the first few days. The food will become less and less later, and more and more soldiers will be separated.
Whether 500 people can get through is naturally a question.
After hearing what she said, both Chu Mobai and Si Yin were obviously unable to utter a word.
Because she was not joking, this question was what she asked from Luo Shanhai.
Once supplies are lost, even the strongest troops will eventually lose their morale.
But at this moment, Chu Mobai seemed to have thought of something and immediately said to Qian Ruoyu.
"By the way, Wang Fei, I think you should not come over during this period of time, so as not to be targeted by others. Why don't you listen to me?"
Hearing this, she just smiled calmly.
"Didn't you notice that I only came with some palace guards this time? Lotus didn't come with me."
"Before I left the palace, Lianhua had already brought people to attract the attention of those people, so no one would notice that I came to the military camp."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two people in front of her nodded immediately.
At the same time Chu Mobai said.
"By the way, does our palace still have rice to cook? If not, we can just pick some from the military camp, and at least let everyone have some white rice when we go back."
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu did not laugh immediately, but just spoke calmly to Chu Mobai.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chu Mobai had just smiled when a soldier came in to inform him.
"Your Highness, a carriage appeared at the gate of the tent. It seemed to come from the capital!"
Qian Ruoyu knew without even thinking that this was obviously the takeaway from Dahonglou that she ordered.
"I went to call them in. It was me who called them in."
Just as the two were wondering, less than half an incense stick of time had passed and the food had been delivered.
Two pots of rice, six pots of vegetables, and a pot of soup were all placed on the low table in front of the two people.
When looking at the meat dishes in front of him, Si Yin couldn't control himself anymore and the chopsticks in his hand even fell to the ground.
Chu Mobai was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how long it had been since he had really seen Ti Xin. After all, he usually ate and lived together with the soldiers under him, so naturally he was not much better off than them.
Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu waved to the people in the Big Red Building, and they left the tent one after another.
"Yeah, what are you still standing there for?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Yin's gaze immediately turned to Chu Mobai standing beside her, obviously waiting for his consent.
