Chapter 191 Xiang Wanlin Discovers the Food is Missing
Jiang Tangtang saw Lu Shiyan coming back, smiled at him and asked, "How is it? Have you surveyed the terrain?"
Lu Shiyan finally suppressed his shock, but was now attracted by what Jiang Tangtang was holding.
The thing in her hand was very bright and could shine very far, but there was no flame, and it was very small.
What is this? A divine artifact from heaven?
Because all his attention was drawn to the object in Jiang Tangtang's hand, he answered absentmindedly, "Look, we can build a ropeway and transport the things directly from the cableway."
Seeing that his eyes were fixed on her flashlight, Jiang Tangtang handed it to him and said, "Then you light it up. Let's go out now."
Anyway, she brought the things from Xiang Mansion's warehouse into this cave with her bare hands. Such amazing things happened in front of him. She didn't even hide such a small thing as the flashlight.
Lu Shiyan was flattered. He carefully took the flashlight and wanted to take a look, but felt a little embarrassed. Finally, he walked out holding Jiang Tangtang's hand in a reserved manner.
Jiang Tangtang found him very funny and couldn't help laughing.
After leaving the cave, Lu Shiyan returned the flashlight to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang not only confiscated it, but also took out the telescope from the space and gave it to him, "I prepared it for you early in the morning, but I forgot about it because I was busy. You can try it."
As she spoke, she demonstrated to him using the telescope.
Lu Shiyan didn't ask where this thing came from. He just imitated Jiang Tangtang and looked into the distance. Then he was immediately shocked. "How... can it see so far?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "This is a clairvoyant. As long as the lens is intact, it can be used in the future. But this..." She pointed at the flashlight and said, "Once the energy inside is used up, it will stop working. It will only work again when the energy is full."
"Then how can we make it full of energy?" Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was not opposed and took the initiative to talk to him, Lu Shiyan was very happy and felt that she trusted him more.
After Jiang Tangtang imagined the possibility of making solar panels, she finally felt that even if she read all the books in the book bar, she might not be able to do it.
It was too much trouble to explain, so I could only say, "Wait until it stops lighting up, and then you can give it to me."
"Then keep it for yourself." Lu Shiyan returned the flashlight to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang thought about it and realized that she was not often by his side, so it would be inconvenient for him to charge the flashlight if it ran out of power. If it ran out of power at a critical moment, it would delay things, so she took the flashlight back.
Now that the things have been hidden, we have to hurry back to the barracks and take people to transport the things back.
Therefore, the two of them did not delay and rushed to the military camp without stopping.
However, Lu Shiyan was a little restless today, and he kept touching the telescope in his arms unconsciously.
This clairvoyance can see so far and so clearly.
As someone who has been on the battlefield for many years, he knows better than anyone what effect such things will have on the battlefield.
Tangtang gave him such an item, which showed his status in her heart. Thinking of this, he felt sweet in his heart again.
But amidst the sweetness, there was also a lot of guilt and self-blame. Ever since Dingbei Houfu was convicted and exiled, he had been filled with hatred. He had done nothing for her, and instead made her suffer with him.
However, he was not good at making promises and would only secretly think about how to treat her better in the future.
Because they were delayed in the cave, it was already midnight when the two returned to the military camp. The food that Jiang Tangtang had bought in Yazhou had been delivered in advance, and according to Jiang Tangtang's instructions, it was all cooked and distributed to the soldiers.
The meat and vegetables in one carriage weren't much, and even less when divided among the soldiers. But the soldiers were very grateful to Jiang Tangtang and paid for their meals out of their own pockets.
The soldiers already respected her, and now they respected her even more.
Seeing the soldiers full of energy, Jiang Tangtang felt that this trip was well worth it.
She really wanted to visit the mansions of all the corrupt officials in Lingnan immediately.
However, she knew that Lu Shiyan had to send people to transport the food and weapons from the cave first, and he also had to prevent a sneak attack by South Vietnamese soldiers. He was afraid that he would not have time to take her to visit the corrupt official's mansion at night.
At this time, she could not help much by staying in the military camp. Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but want to go back to the dock, but she didn't know what was going on at the dock.
Jiang Tangtang was worried about the dock, but she didn't know that the dock had successfully controlled the situation.
The food that Yuan San brought from the workshop successfully stabilized the refugees, and the people sent by Lu Shiyan cooperated perfectly with Yuan San and Yuan Si and quickly captured the people sent by Xiang Wanlin.
Someone soon reported to Xiang Wanlin that the people he sent to the dock had been captured. "Master, this is bad! Ah Wu and the others were captured by Jiang's people..."
Xiang Wanlin was so angry that he threw his teacup to the ground. "Fool! Jiang is just a woman. What capable people can she have under her command? How could he be caught when so many people were sent to him?"
His wife and adopted son had an affair and were doing indecent things in the house, which made him lose face and he wished he could kill that bitch with a single knife.
However, the Xiao family relied on the military power in their hands and blamed him for beating the Xiao family, demanding that he apologize to the Xiao family. Not only that, they also took this opportunity to ask him for a huge compensation of money and grain.
He was already extremely angry, and now the person he sent out to do the job made a mistake. How could he not be angry?
The servant knelt tremblingly on the ground, "The Jiang family originally had few men, but I didn't expect a group of helpers to suddenly appear yesterday..."
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Looking at the appearance of those people, they should be from the army. I think Lu Shiyan sent helpers over. We really didn't expect that he would have the energy to take care of Jiang family."
To Xiang Wanlin, these words sounded like a servant blaming himself for his own mistakes. Lu Shiyan was leading a group of remnants of his army against the South Vietnamese soldiers, and they were short of rations and weapons. How powerful could he be?
However, no matter how much he belittled Lu Shiyan, he did not dare to be careless.
Once Lu Shiyan finds out that he was the one who sent people to oppose him, he will definitely retaliate.
Although he had a lot of private soldiers, he did not dare to confront Lu Shiyan head-on.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Xiao family again.
Xiang Wanlin was so frustrated that he smashed countless teacups and angrily scolded his servants. Finally, he had to compromise and said, "Tell Yang Zhen to come over and take my token to Mingjing Villa. I will personally escort 100,000 dan of grain to the Xiao family."
Yang Zhen felt that this was a test from the head of the family, and vowed to get things done and gain Xiang Wanlin's approval.
But when he arrived at Mingjing Villa, he received a piece of news that shocked him greatly.
All the food in the villa disappeared.
Yang Zhen did not dare to delay and immediately came back to report the news to Xiang Wanlin.
"What did you say? The food was stolen?" Xiang Wanlin stared at Yang Zhen intently, his eyes seemed to want to stare a hole in him.
Yang Zhen's forehead was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and recounted the story of going to the villa to get food.
