Chapter 315: Minced Meat Porridge
So, I just returned to the barracks.
The prince didn't even have time to visit General Ye Zhen, who was poisoned and lying in bed.
He anxiously said to Lieutenant General Luo and Ye Lin, "Immediately select a granary spacious enough to store 300,000 dan of grain and fodder, and then transfer all the soldiers inside. No mistakes!"
"Prince, are you sure it's 300,000 people, carrying food and fodder?" Even though Ye Lin was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the prince's order. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time.
After all, according to Lieutenant General Luo, from the time he returned to report the news to the time the prince left the capital, the entire journey took only ten days.
It is simply unimaginable to raise 300,000 dan of food and fodder in such a short time.
Moreover, according to what the prince said, the entire 300,000 dan of grain and fodder had already been delivered to the northern border.
The prince could not explain, after all, he was also shocked.
At this moment, he didn't know how to explain to Ye Lin, so he could only cough and say, "Follow your orders. I promise that tomorrow morning, all the soldiers in the camp will have hot rice porridge to drink."
The temptation of rice porridge seemed great enough at this time. Even Ye Lin, who was of noble status, couldn't help but swallow his saliva subconsciously, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Not to mention the soldiers who have been chewing tree bark for more than half a month.
When he heard the word "rice porridge", his eyes lit up.
Therefore, although the prince's order was a bit outrageous and unbelievable.
But everyone also subconsciously made excuses for the prince: "Young General, is the royal family secretly raising a mysterious army?
"Perhaps it was this army that helped to collect the food and fodder."
…
Ye Lin was originally very cautious and full of suspicion.
But after listening to what everyone said and thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. His frown relaxed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, I obey your order."
Ye Lin's mobility was truly impressive. In just half an hour, he had taken the prince to two granaries, one visible and one hidden. "Prince, what do you think?"
Ye Lin asked respectfully, with a hint of anticipation on his face.
The prince did not answer, but quickly turned his head to look at Chu Ci beside him, with obvious inquiry in his eyes.
It was not until Chu Ci nodded gently that the prince spoke up and reminded him emphatically, "Okay. Remember, transfer the person away. This matter is of vital importance and must not be neglected in the slightest!"
However, the more the prince acted like this, the more confident Ye Lin felt.
And the prince, no, to be more precise, Chu Ci did not disappoint them.
It was midnight and everything was quiet. Chu Ci lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
She confirmed again and again that Fan Jingrui beside her was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep, then she waved her hand and gently sprinkled the sleeping pills on Fan Jingrui.
Then, like a nimble cat, it came to the granary.
Chu Ci looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, he entered stealthily.
After entering the granary, she moved swiftly and quickly took out the stored rice, millet, flour, potatoes, and various beans from the space and arranged them neatly on the ground.
After doing all this, Chu Ci turned around and wanted to leave, but he always felt that something was missing.
After thinking about it, Chu Ci took out pieces of various marinated meats from the space, including pork, beef, and mutton, each piece exuding an enticing aroma.
After placing the meat in the granary in the same way, Chu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then turn and leave.
Therefore, early the next morning, the quartermaster in charge of logistics hurried to the granary with a group of soldiers.
The moment the granary door was opened, everyone was stunned.
The quartermaster's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
So, he subconsciously turned around and pinched the deputy beside him, muttering to himself: "It doesn't hurt. Am I dreaming?"
The adjutant behind him was furious. If the quartermaster was not his immediate superior, he would have cursed at everyone.
Now?
He could only suppress his anger and said with a look of grievance: "Sir, you pinched me! So, all this is true."
"This time we can not only drink porridge, but also eat meat!"
As he spoke, the adjutant's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the quartermaster seized the opportunity and pinched himself hard. The pain came instantly, confirming that what the adjutant said was true.
His face was instantly filled with ecstasy.
Then, he immediately shouted, "Adjutant, take your men and order the food immediately. Be quick and careful, and don't make any mistakes! This morning, everyone will have porridge, minced meat porridge."
"Yes! We'll have rice porridge with meat this morning!" The stingy quartermaster was so generous that the soldiers present were so excited that they shouted at the top of their lungs.
How could the quartermaster not understand the little intentions of the people present? The little thoughts in these guys' minds could not escape his eyes.
But he was in a very good mood at the moment, so naturally he didn't bother with these little brats.
But he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Why don't you move quickly? What are you all standing there for? If you don't move faster, you won't have any meat and rice porridge to eat."
"Understood!" With minced meat porridge to drink, who would care about the quartermaster's mild reprimand? Everyone was in high spirits!
Similarly, after receiving the news, Ye Lin finally put his heart, which had been weighing on his mind for many days, back into his stomach.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to go to General Zhenbei's tent to tell his father the good news.
However, Lieutenant General Luo secretly found Ye Lin and whispered a few words in his ear.
Even though Ye Lin had witnessed the capabilities of the prince and his entourage, he still couldn't help but feel a little hesitant after listening to Lieutenant General Luo's description.
He frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion, and asked again: "Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?"
Lieutenant General Luo nodded solemnly, his face looking serious and determined.
His original intention was to let Ye Lin go to Chu Ci to ask for medicine, so as to eliminate all the spies in the military camp in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Lin heard this, he thought of something else.
Chu Ci was able to develop such a rare medicine, so her medical skills must be quite good, right?
So, Ye Lin stared at Deputy General Luo and asked anxiously, "Have you ever asked if the medicine was developed by Princess Yixin herself, or if she has a good doctor under her command?"
Even though Ye Lin showed it so obviously, Lieutenant General Luo still looked stupid and confused.
He scratched his head and said, "He should have developed it himself, right?"
"Should? What do you mean by should? I want the exact information!" Ye Lin frowned, spoke in an anxious tone, and stared at Lieutenant General Luo.
Lieutenant General Luo suddenly realized something. "I don't know. But, she took my pulse yesterday."
"Then they stuffed a sweet pill into my mouth."
"You know what, if I had tried my best to kill people in the past, today would definitely not be easy for me."
"But after taking that pill this time, I didn't feel anything at all today."
At this point, Deputy General Luo curled his lips, his face full of regret and dissatisfaction, and continued, "It's a pity that Old Luo couldn't bear to give me an extra one, and even threatened me with exploding and dying."
