Chapter 134 Food was robbed
Ling Chan thought...when the food is about to arrive, let Hongdou and the others come out to greet them.
In order to know the location of the carriage in real time, she stuck a monitoring device with positioning function under the frame of one of the carriages while no one was paying attention.
The sisters from Qingyi Tower who were escorting the grain left with the convoy, and the disciples from Juxian Villa also followed.
After Ling Chan watched them leave, she bowed and invited Jiang Chenyang into the county town.
"Senior, your Juxian Villa truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the martial arts world. You always take the lead in everything."
Jiang Chenyang was very modest, "Compared to Qingyi Tower, we are still... a little behind."
He met the Qingyi Tower's caravan on the way and learned that they had gathered two hundred carts of food. He was shocked and admired them.
"I've also sent a letter to Juxian Villa, asking them to collect some food nearby. It should arrive in a few days."
He also wrote a letter to Luo Nanfeng, asking Luo Nanfeng to raise some money as well.
After other sects learned about it, they also collected food along the way.
As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived at the courtyard where they were staying temporarily. The embarrassing thing was that they happened to meet Xiao Jin here.
"Prince Rui...?!" Jiang Chenyang was completely stunned.
Because Xiao Jin was... holding a frail woman by the waist, and the woman's arms were around Xiao Jin's neck...
"Senior Jiang." Xiao Jin nodded slightly as a greeting.
Pei'er in his arms didn't react at all when Jiang Chenyang said the words "King Rui".
"Who, who is this?" Jiang Chenyang was pointing at Pei'er.
"This is Miss Pei'er. She just twisted her ankle accidentally." After Xiao Jin explained, he carried Pei'er inside.
"Pei, Pei'er?" Jiang Chenyang looked at Xiao Jin's back for a long time until he entered the backyard.
"Princess...Prince Rui?"
Jiang Chenyang still remembers the interaction between Xiao Jin and Ling Chan at Floating Cloud Villa.
"Prince Rui is not saying this to you, Princess..." Jiang Chenyang said implicitly.
Ling Chan smiled and said, "Senior Jiang, you're joking. Prince Rui and I...are nowhere near as close as he and Miss Pei'er."
While speaking, Ling Chan also glanced at the four elders of Juxian Villa.
The four elders all nodded with a smile, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Where is Miss Pei'er from?" Jiang Chenyang asked.
Ling Chan told Pei'er and Xiao Jin the truth about their encounter.
Jiang Chenyang also immediately thought of the Ama. "Why does this sound so much like the Ama's experience?"
People in the underworld are still frightened by what happened a few months ago.
"Princess, you must remind Prince Rui more often..."
Ling Chan shrugged, "How can I remind you?"
"Of course it is... Miss Pei'er, whose identity is unknown, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
Ling Chan could see that Jiang Chenyang was really worried that what happened to Gong Taining would happen again to Xiao Jin.
"That may not be the case." One of the four elders spoke up.
Ling Chan remembered that this man was called Hu Le, and she had seen him before at Floating Cloud Villa.
"Prince Rui is young and full of vigor, and Miss Pei'er is exceptionally beautiful. It's only natural that Prince Rui would feel pity for her."
"It is said that there is no woman in Prince Rui's harem. Concubine Xi in the palace is extremely worried."
"If Prince Rui brings a woman back this time, the happiest person will be Concubine Xi."
"Miss Pei'er, if she works harder, she can have a son. With Concubine Xi's temperament, I'm afraid even the princess can do it."
After Ling Chan finished listening to him, she said quietly, "I didn't expect that Elder Hu would know so much about Concubine Xi, who rarely appears in public."
Hu Le was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered it up with a smile, "I heard about it too."
"I've heard a lot of gossip along the way."
Jiang Chenyang nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's true."
He looked at Ling Chan, "Princess, if this is really a fraud, it will definitely be detrimental to Daqi."
"Senior Jiang, I want to remind Prince Rui... it's easier for you men to talk among yourself. As a woman, it's not appropriate for me to say these things to Prince Rui."
A woman? Jiang Chenyang glanced at Ling Chan. Back then at Floating Cloud Villa, she didn't behave like a woman.
"Hey, looking at the way Prince Rui was just now, I'm afraid he has been bewitched by Miss Pei'er..."
Ling Chan remained noncommittal. "Senior Jiang, fellow elders, let's go to the front hall for some tea first. Once your rooms are set up, we can rest."
The sisters in Qingyi Tower quickly cleaned up a small courtyard in the house next door. There were several rooms in the small courtyard, which were enough for the people from Juxian Villa to live in.
Among them, Jiang Chenyang had a room alone, the four elders had two rooms, and the six disciples also had two rooms.
Ling Chan took Jiang Chenyang, Hu Le and others to the next door.
Wang Fang put his arm around Hu Le's shoulders and said, "Old Hu, why don't I switch with Enji and let you and your son stay in the same room."
"Are Elder Hu and the disciple just now father and son?" Ling Chan turned around with interest.
Wang Fang was happy to explain Ling Chan's confusion. "Yes, Old Hu's wife was a young lady from the Yushan Sect. She passed away due to illness more than ten years ago, leaving only them, father and son."
"As the father of Hu Changhu is, his son is like a dog. Senior Brother Enji is very capable at first glance." Ling Chan praised him generously.
Hu Le's face was full of smiles. "Enji is really a worry-free child, hehe..."
Wang Fang punched him rudely and said, "Stop showing off."
Except for Hu Le, the other three were unmarried and had no children, only disciples.
"arrive."
"Seniors, please take a good rest first. Once everyone arrives in a few days, we will set off for the military camp."
Over the next three days, some martial artists arrived every day, bringing food with them. However, the largest number of carriages was only twenty, and the smallest was only three.
It was all a token of her heartfelt gratitude. On behalf of the soldiers on the border, Ling Chan thanked them one by one without any favoritism.
Luo Nanfeng, Gong Taining and others also came.
The Qiongyu Sect was a major martial arts sect, and they sent a hundred carts of food, while Gong Taining also brought fifty carts.
"Chan'er, are you okay?" Gong Taining looked at his granddaughter with concern.
Gong Lele is his legitimate daughter, he loves her the most...
I didn't expect that Fuyun Villa would go through such changes, and my daughter also died.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine."
But Gong Taining is not Jiang Chenyang. When Gong Taining saw Xiao Jin and Pei'er going in and out together, he rushed over and pulled Xiao Jin away from Pei'er.
"Prince Rui." He glared at Xiao Jin angrily, "Who is she?"
"It's Miss Pei'er."
"I don't care if she's Pei'er or Fu'er, you can't let my Chan'er down."
"Grandfather..." Ling Chan hurried to hold Gong Taining, "Grandfather, Prince Rui and I are not what you think. We are just ordinary friends..."
"Don't even mention that he only has a lover now. Even if he gets married and has children, and has countless concubines in the backyard, that has nothing to do with me."
Gong Taining's murderous look slowly softened upon hearing this. "Really? Chan'er, you didn't lie to Grandpa?"
"Grandfather..." Ling Chan was also helpless, "I didn't lie to you..."
"Besides, the border war is tense right now, how can I have the time to think about these things?"
This is what Ling Chan really thinks. The country is in such a precarious situation, how can she think about those romantic things?
"No way." Gong Taining became anxious when he heard this. He pulled Ling Chan's hand and walked aside. "Chan'er, you are seventeen years old this year. You are not a child anymore."
"You still have to think about your lifelong affairs."
"If you like fighting, you can find a general in the barracks."
"If you like the pleasure of the martial arts world, then Grandpa can help you find one."
"There are many handsome heroes like your uncle Cheng Feiyu in the martial arts world."
Ling Chan rolled her eyes helplessly, "Grandfather..."
"Hey, where are Cheng Feiyu, Di Ming, Zhi Xuanzi and the others?" The three of them haven't arrived yet.
"I haven't heard any news about them. Maybe they were delayed on the road." Luo Nanfeng walked over.
"Master Gong, we, the children of Jianghu, have always been free and easy. Please don't force the princess to find a husband."
"How rare is it that the princess is so free now?"
"If I really want to get married, there will be so many rules and regulations. I'm afraid the princess can't bear it."
Ling Chan cast a grateful look towards Luo Nanfeng...
At night, all the people in the martial arts world were given rooms to sleep in.
Ling Chan estimated that the food transported by the sisters from Qingyi Tower would almost reach the military camp, so she took out her glasses and adjusted the surveillance screen to the surveillance equipment on the carriage.
She installed the surveillance equipment under the hidden car, so the picture showed the scene about 50 to 60 centimeters above the ground.
The rumbling of the wheels indicated that they were still on their way.
Check the location of the surveillance equipment to see where they are...
Ling Chan saw that the grain-carrying carriage was actually heading east.
The direction to the military camp is north, so how could it be heading east?
This... must have happened.
Ling Chan adjusted the direction of the monitoring equipment and checked the surroundings of the carriage.
On either side of the carriage were human legs wearing brown trousers.
The girls in Qingyi Tower wore blue pants, and the disciples in Juxian Villa wore white pants.
The people who were escorting the grain weren't from Qingyi Tower, nor were they from Juxian Villa...
Something happened!
Ling Chan jumped out of bed and put on her coat...
"Owner of the post." When Gong Ye heard the voice and chased out, Ling Chan was already in mid-air.
Ling Chan had no choice but to come down again, "Gong Ye, if I haven't done anything wrong before dawn, when the seniors ask me questions, just say I have urgent matters to attend to in the barracks and will leave first. You wait here until Cheng Feiyu and the others arrive, and then we'll go to the barracks together."
Gong Ye nodded, "Then, what about Prince Rui and Miss Pei'er?"
Ling Chan was worried about the sisters who were escorting the grain, so she didn't have the energy to think too much. "Let them be."
After saying that, she jumped up and activated the navigation function of her glasses.
'Go straight ahead...'
Miyaba looked at the direction she left and stood there for a long time.
"Gong Ye." Xiao Jin chased over from another courtyard, "Where is your landlord?"
Although Gong Ye already knew that Xiao Jin was just pretending to be nice to Pei'er, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him.
"I don't know." She said unhappily.
After saying that, he realized his tone was bad, and added, "The host didn't say that."
Xiao Jin didn't bother with her and tiptoed out to chase her.
But he underestimated Ling Chan's anxiety and even more underestimated the high speed of the flying backpack.
The carriage moved slowly and it would take more than three days to travel. Ling Chan turned the backpack speed to the highest level and arrived in just one hour.
When her position and the grain truck's position got closer, Ling Chan slowed down.
Looking down from above, two hundred carriages were parked side by side, stretching out for a long distance.
The drivers were still the same, but the people escorting the grain on both sides had changed.
There were not many of them, only about fifty, divided into the front, middle and rear to escort the grain carts.
They had no uniform attire and did not look like an organized and disciplined army. Instead, they looked more like people from the underworld who had gathered in Wufang County for the sake of national justice.
But they are definitely not from Daqi. If Lingchan squinted her eyes and looked down, if her guess was correct, these should be from Dahe.
This is because there is no food in Da He’s camp, and they have the same idea as her, both want to steal food from each other.
It’s a pity...she has space.
Ling Chan stretched out her hand in the air and took the drone out of the space with her mind.
The drone is equipped with many anesthetic gas needles.
The drone was started and flew over the grain truck. Ling Chan fired an anesthetic gas needle. In just a few seconds, all fifty people below fell to the ground.
The grain drivers were so scared that they jumped off their carriages and ran back regardless of anything.
Ling Chan fell down and grabbed the last driver, "Where are the girls from my Qingyi Building?"
When the driver saw that it was Ling Chan, he blurted out everything, "Lady, those girls were poisoned and passed out by these people while they were resting near Jinwei Mountain."
"Lady, this journey is not easy for us. We don't want to not only make money but also lose our lives..."
Other drivers also gathered together and told about their difficulties.
Ling Chan knew that their life was not easy. She called the leading driver over and gave him a few handfuls of gold beans from her cloth bag. "We in Qingyi Building will not treat you unfairly. Share these gold beans among you."
"Please help me again."
"Help me move the food from the wagons down. Leave five wagons for me to help me move these people up. You take the remaining wagons back."
The drivers were a little hesitant, but they had golden beans in their hands.
"These people may be Da He's spies. I want to take them back to the military camp for interrogation." Ling Chan said.
When the drivers heard that they were Da He's spies, they became excited.
"It's actually the Dahe people. Let's move."
Two hundred coachmen quickly unloaded the grain from the carriages.
Then the fifty unconscious people were loaded onto five horse-drawn carriages.
"Master, we're leaving now." The drivers bowed to Ling Chan. "Master is a good man, and the girls in Qingyi Tower are all righteous people."
"This time, we Daqi will definitely defeat Dahe."
"Defeat Daehuk."
"Defeat Daehuk."
The voices of two hundred drivers broke through the sky...
A few years later, they will still feel emotional when they recall this scene, because they were the ones who had spoken to the empress and were rewarded with golden beans by the empress.
Ling Chan watched the driver leave before turning around to put all the food into the space.
Then, she temporarily tied the five carriages to a large rock nearby and chose to rescue the sisters in Qingyi Tower first.
