As the dusk deepened, the snow-covered streets looked like white clouds dyed red.
Ying Bing looked at Li Mo's nonchalant expression and inexplicably wanted to curl up her fingers, but she was holding the candy in her hand and her whole body was wrapped by him, so how could she curl her fingers?
cold?
Even when the wind and snow were the strongest today, she didn't actually feel too cold. With her skin and bones as icy as ice, tempered by the power of Taiyin, a little wind and frost was nothing to her.
I've gotten used to it.
If you don’t know cold, you naturally don’t know warmth.
But now, my left hand is outside and my right hand is in his pocket, wrapped in his warm big hand.
The contrast between cold and warm suddenly became clear.
"A little bit."
"!"
To be honest, Xiao Li just realized what he had done subconsciously.
Are you kidding me? How can a lump of ice be cold?
But the soft and boneless little hand in his palm did seem to be warmed up a little, and Li Mo couldn't help but look at her expression.
Ying Bing had a blank expression on her face, but a faint blush appeared on Yuebai's face, and she didn't know if it was the twilight outside the car window that sneaked in.
The clear and bright eyes looked out the window, just immersed in the sky where the sun and the moon intertwined, with light and darkness interweaving.
"I must learn the craft well in the future!"
Hu Zi looked at the two people in the car and wiped his eyes.
In the past, he always thought that all candies were equally sweet when eaten, so why bother to draw them?
But now he wanted to paint this scene with sweet syrup, which was probably what his grandfather said...
Sugar makes your mouth sweet, but paintings make your heart sweet?
At this moment, the sound of carriages and horses suddenly came from the end of the street. The carriage covered with oilcloth pressed deep ruts in the snow.
The convoy was guarded by two rows of soldiers. Judging from their attire, they were obviously soldiers from the Aoki camp.
"Young Master Li."
The leader was a general of Qu Sheng, who had met Li Mo at Jiawei Restaurant yesterday.
He immediately sat on the horse and bowed.
"I was busy with military duties today and didn't get to watch the military exercise and appreciate Young Master Li's style. I'm very sorry."
"What are you busy with?"
Li Mo asked casually.
Then he winked at Hu Zi next to him, and the latter reacted, his eyes widened.
"Winter is coming soon. These are the military rations and supplies we have raised."
“No wonder there are so many.”
"That's not a lot. Alas, there are 80,000 soldiers, and there are also logistics, and more than 100,000 people to feed the horses."
At this point, the general frowned again and said:
"I don't know if we can get through this New Year with these military supplies."
The lieutenant general said hello again and took the baggage back to the camp to report. Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
From what this lieutenant general said, it seems that the Qingmu camp is still worried about food and salary shortages?
But Qingmu City is the outpost of Nanguan and the deepest city of Dayu in southern Xinjiang, so it is of great significance.
Even if there has been no war here for many years, there shouldn't be a shortage of military rations and salaries, right?
He had been to Baoping Town and seen the garrison troops, which were in stark contrast to the strict and law-abiding Nanguan City.
If there is a lack of military pay, this chaos is not difficult to understand...
"etc!"
Li Mo thought about it and called the general.
In his system space, there were still a lot of supplies purchased from Yunzhou Hengtong Trading Company that day, many of which were actually not used.
I plan to go back to Ziyang Mansion in a few days, so there is no point in keeping it.
It would be better to stay in the Aoki camp.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully investing in the Qingmu Camp and alleviating its worries about military rations. ]
【You have an investment feedback to be collected. 】
..........
Night falls.
In the central army tent, Qu Sheng drank a bowl of medicine soup, and his pale face became a little more red. Hearing the announcement outside the tent, he took a deep breath and said with full energy:
"Come in."
The lieutenant general walked into the tent and was startled at first: "Commander, your old injury has recurred?"
"It's just some blood movement, it's nothing serious."
Qu Sheng saw the general's expression and frowned:
"Is it not going well to raise military rations?"
The lieutenant general said in a muffled voice: "The quartermasters who went to various towns to collect military rations all said that the local garrisons did not cooperate and only handed over some military rations symbolically. What a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
"Less is better." Qu Sheng sighed silently.
If the garrison troops are pushed too hard, they will eventually be forced to push the people under their rule.
Nanguan is no longer the city it once was with a million strong army and the whole country of Dayu fully supporting it.
"Let's think of another way."
Rubbing his eyebrows, Qu Sheng looked at the map in the tent, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he turned around and looked at the general who was still standing there.
"What else?"
The lieutenant nodded: "Among this batch of military supplies, some were given by Young Master Li..."
"The supplies he purchased before coming to Southern Xinjiang?"
Qu Sheng was startled, then smiled and said:
“It’s just a drop in the bucket, but it’s a token of my appreciation.”
How much supplies can one bring when traveling alone to southern Xinjiang?
But he could never have dreamed that who was Li Mo's purchasing agent at that time? That person was someone who was always ready to stay in a certain place for the rest of his life.
"It's not a drop in the bucket. You'll see once you see it."
Um?
Qu Sheng was puzzled and took the Sumeru object handed to him by the general.
"The food and elixirs here were all sent by Young Master Li."
"......"
Qu Sheng opened his eyes slightly. These military rations were equivalent to one third of those collected from various towns.
Military rations come second.
There were also many common elixirs, such as healing medicines and qi-replenishing pills, all of which were packed in the Sumeru objects he gave to his generals.
