The village chief did indeed go door-to-door asking for alms, but everyone was destitute and couldn't afford much...
As for the village chief calling on more than a dozen villagers to help make steamed buns...
Almost all of the grain they took out was provided by Ning Xi'er.
Anyway, the village chief went door-to-door, and each family only knew that they hadn't been able to contribute much...
However, it is unknown how much the other companies contributed.
So, when the village chief suddenly produced so much grain and asked everyone to help make steamed buns...
The villagers were all taken aback.
If things had gone according to plan, Ning Che and his men would have been able to seize some of the grain from the Jin army camp...
Tonight's food supply is secured, and Ning Xi'er doesn't need to worry about making arrangements.
However, the plan was temporarily adjusted; instead of looting the grain silos, the plan was changed to burn them down...
This means that even if the mission is successfully completed tonight, the soldiers will still have to go hungry...
Dinner is nowhere to be found.
When Ning Xi'er retreated to the military camp, she considered this place and came to the front of the village...
He retrieved several bags of grain from his spatial storage, found the village chief, and asked him to help transport them home.
After discussing it, the two decided to adopt the above strategy, which allowed them to transport the grain through the open road and also provide food for the soldiers.
The village chief learned from Ning Xi'er that the two bags of grain Ning Xu brought were the only remaining rations in the military camp...
I was shocked and ashamed.
They had no time to question the source of the grain; since she was General Ning's own sister, they simply asked them to help prepare dinner...
Without saying a word, the village chief immediately went to each household.
Ning Xi'er could tell that the village chief was capable, but she didn't expect him to be so efficient.
She had only been there for half an hour when she was surprised to find that the steamed buns were already made and delivered.
Seeing the village chief's expression, Ning Xu realized that the grain was provided by Ning Xi'er and delivered through the village chief.
If the information were given directly to the military camp, Jin spies would leak it...
The elder brother and his soldiers only burned the granary; they didn't manage to loot any grain.
The Crown Prince of Jin might then resort to magic and begin to deal with his younger sister, Ning Xi'er...
After Ning Che's reminder, Ning Xu realized that revealing Ning Xi'er's strength might harm his sister, especially in the neighboring Jin Kingdom, renowned for its magical arts...
Extremely tense and sensitive.
Ning Xu was worried that something might have happened on the way back, as his older brother hadn't returned yet, and he couldn't let the village chief and villagers keep waiting here...
I'll accept it on his behalf. If my older brother comes back and thinks it's inappropriate, I can simply bring someone to return it...
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the camp, the village chief knew they had important matters to attend to. Since the steamed buns had already been delivered, he immediately led the villagers back...
Ning Xu instructed his soldiers to put all the dozens of large bundles of steamed buns on the stove to heat them up.
Ning Xu stood outside the barracks, facing the direction of the Jin border, anxiously searching for his elder brother and the soldiers...
Actually, not much time had passed, but for those waiting, it felt exceptionally long.
"General, we can hear the sound of horses' hooves. They're about a mile away, heading towards our camp..."
The scouts reported.
Ning Xi'er looked in the direction indicated by the scout...
Just as his sister had told him, his older brother planned to retreat along the same route...
Although the eldest brother and his soldiers did not ride horses before leaving...
But Ning Xu was still full of anticipation, believing that his elder brother and his entourage would be arriving soon.
However, he was not blinded by this expectation and made defensive preparations.
Inside the Great Yan military camp.
The fire in the granary was quickly extinguished; the general's command was excellent, and the soldiers reacted swiftly...
The grain that was close to the granary and had already been contaminated with sparks was all piled up at the granary entrance...
It was isolated from the other grains that had not been exposed to the fire.
By the time the grain that had been touched by sparks was a little later, the flames around the granary had been extinguished...
Other grains were safely preserved.
Because of the high temperature, the generals personally stood guard outside...
The grain should be transferred after the temperature drops.
The generals who intercepted the horses will be busy all night.
Despite the rush, the military camp operated smoothly, and the soldiers remained calm.
The Crown Prince of Jin believed this was a very good opportunity for training...
Training military personnel to respond to emergencies and surprise attacks.
As for the opponent...
The general beside him couldn't help but ask, "General, why do you say that the enemy has a fascinating opponent?"
Crown Prince Xue Chongjing raised the corners of his lips and looked towards the Yan army camp, "Ning Che is too conservative..."
The burning of the granary wasted the hard work and toil of tens of thousands of people...
He couldn't do it.
Even if it is enemy food.
And what's happening right now reveals a hint of ruthlessness...
This suited Xue Chongjing's wishes perfectly.
He didn't even care about the grain in a mere granary...
