Chapter 183 Forgot to Breathe
Following last night, the soldiers in the camp were once again overwhelmed by the fragrance.
However, if you just add more water to the fruit tea, each person can get a bowl, but the same cannot be said for noodles. Even if Jiang Tangtang makes a lot of noodles, it won't be enough for the soldiers in the entire camp.
Jiang Tangtang was in a dilemma, so Lu Shiyan ordered Zhang Ming to divide the remaining noodles into five equal bowls and give them to five people who had made great contributions.
Although it was just a small bowl of noodles, everyone who got the noodles felt very honored and happy as if they had received priceless jewelry.
Jiang Tangtang hadn't expected a bowl of noodles to have such an effect. She secretly discussed with Lu Shiyan that she might as well make another bowl for the soldiers at noon to cheer them up.
Lu Shiyan smiled helplessly and said, "Are you trying to make my men's mouths spoiled so that those firemen will lose their jobs?"
Seeing Jiang Tangtang in a daze, Lu Shiyan rubbed her head and said, "Eat your noodles and go take a rest! I have my own way to subdue these soldiers. You don't need to please them."
Seeing that he saw through her thoughts, Jiang Tangtang's face suddenly turned red.
She suddenly felt a little ashamed.
If he still had to rely on her to cook food to win people's hearts, he wouldn't have to lead troops to fight and conquer the world.
She covered her face in embarrassment.
Lu Shiyan was amused by her cute appearance. He reached out and took her hand away, revealing her delicate little face.
He curved the corners of his mouth and said seriously: "What I mean is, from now on, as long as I please you, that's enough!"
His sudden seriousness made Jiang Tangtang feel even more embarrassed and her face turned redder.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know that her shy look at this time looked like a dish of fine food in Lu Shiyan's eyes.
Looking at her soft red lips, his Adam's apple slid unconsciously, and his body moved closer to her involuntarily.
Jiang Tangtang didn't react until his lips touched hers. How did he go from eating noodles to eating herself?
Jiang Tangtang felt dizzy and for a moment she even forgot to breathe.
Lu Shiyan let go of her slightly, feeling somewhat helpless but also full of pampering, and said, "Don't hold it in, breathe in!"
Jiang Tangtang was extremely embarrassed. Seeing her cute appearance, Lu Shiyan couldn't help but want to bully her severely.
But looking at the hourglass on the table, he finally restrained himself and let her go. "I'm leaving now. Leave the dishes here. Ask Dayu and the others to clean up. From now on, they will replace Yuan San and be responsible for your safety."
Lu Shiyan naturally knew that Yuan San was sent out by Jiang Tangtang to do something. He always supported Jiang Tangtang unconditionally.
In the past, he only thought about arranging people to be by Jiang Tangtang's side to protect her. It was not until this time that he realized that just sending people to protect her was far from enough.
So I just picked a few more people and gave them to her.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know what he was thinking. She just thought that she sent Yuan San out to do something and didn't stay by her side to protect her safety. He was angry and wanted to replace Yuan San. She didn't even care about being shy and was busy speaking good words for Yuan San.
She told him about sending Yuan San out, and then added, "He didn't want to go at first, and wanted to stay by my side to protect me. I told him that I was in the camp, and with you there, there was no need to worry about safety, so I insisted that he go. Don't blame him."
Although Lu Shiyan knew that she asked Yuan San to take people out to do something, he didn't know that she actually asked Yuan San to take people to investigate the granary of that group of parasites.
He suddenly laughed, "You really are worthy of being my wife."
Jiang Tangtang was puzzled by his smile, "What's wrong?"
"We're on the same page," Lu Shiyan said, bringing over a map. "Madam, if you want to know where their granary is, why bother sending Yuan San out to find out? I can tell you!"
In fact, one of the important matters he was busy dealing with today was related to the granary.
These officials schemed against each other and decided to let him guard three checkpoints and fight against the South Vietnamese soldiers.
He also secretly withheld his military rations, hoping that both he and the South Vietnamese soldiers would suffer heavy losses, so that he could reap the benefits, take the credit for defeating the South Vietnamese soldiers, and take the opportunity to get rid of him.
There is no such good thing in the world.
He had already secretly checked the private vaults of these people and was ready to give them a severe blow.
Jiang Tangtang's eyes lit up instantly, "Do you know where their granary is?"
Lu Shiyan pointed to the place marked with a small flag on the map and said, "Not only the granary, but also their private vaults. I have had them check every one of them."
Jiang Tangtang looked at the small flags scattered all over the map and exclaimed, "So many?"
Lu Shiyan sneered, "These parasites have been dominating the area for years, colluding with pirates, killing civilians, and reselling iron ore. I don't know how many immoral things they have done, so how could they have made a small fortune?"
Thinking of those refugees who were skinny and missing limbs, Jiang Tangtang was also filled with anger.
She decided that she would take away not only the food but also the gold, silver and jewelry they had accumulated over the years, leaving nothing for them.
She clenched her fist and said, "How are the guards in these warehouses? What was your plan beforehand?"
Lu Shiyan called his attendant over and gave him a few instructions. After the attendant left, he told him about the deployment of the private vaults and his previous plans.
Although Lu Shiyan has accumulated some power, his foundation is still shallow. It is not easy to openly break up with the corrupt officials in Lingnan.
If they fell out at this moment, they would likely be attacked from both sides. His previous plan was similar to Jiang Tangtang's, intending to get the food without anyone noticing.
Seeing that he shared the same idea as her, Jiang Tangtang immediately had an idea. However, how should she explain to him that she was carrying a space?
Seeing Jiang Tangtang frowning, Lu Shiyan took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've already made a plan for this matter. The army's food shortage will be resolved soon."
Jiang Tangtang looked at him and said, "Is it difficult for your people to move the food out without being discovered?"
Lu Shiyan gave her a soothing smile and said, "It's definitely a little difficult, but I have my own way to solve it, so don't worry."
Jiang Tangtang pursed her lips, and after some mental preparation, she suddenly said, "If I tell you I can take out the food without anyone noticing, can you not ask why?"
After saying that, she closed her eyes nervously.
Lu Shiyan had always known that his wife had some little secrets. He could see that she was nervous, so he never asked, but just pretended that he had never noticed anything unusual about her, hoping to make her feel at ease.
He had intended to keep pretending like this for the rest of his life.
But he never expected that one day she would take the initiative to bring it up for him.
He was moved but also felt deeply guilty. He held Jiang Tangtang's hand tightly and was speechless for a long time.
It was his fault that he failed to give her a comfortable life and instead made her tired and worried.
How could she still be asked to run around for food rations for the entire camp's soldiers?
