Chapter 66: Grain and straw are delivered safely

Qiao Chuanbai paused for a moment before continuing.

"In addition to mentioning that my uncle was escorting grain and straw, my father also mentioned in a dark way that we should be careful of the people around us, and told me not to spread the news about grain and straw."

Although this was just a reminder, it was already very obvious.

My father suspected that there was a spy in the army.

"In addition to my father's letter, I also received a letter from the prince, which also hinted that I should act in secret and be extremely careful."

Qiao Chuanbai didn't know what happened in the capital.

But his father and the prince reminded him at the same time, and Qiao Chuanbai felt that he should be careful.

Hearing this, General Huo stared at the map and pondered for a moment, then pointed to a place.

"If your uncle is escorting grain and grass by water, he will probably take this route. In the next two days, you should send troops to keep an eye on that place. Once your uncle's men are found, immediately and secretly take them to a safe area. Don't make this public for the time being."

Qiao Chuanbai nodded.

General Huo spoke again: "I just received a secret letter from the emperor. Qiao Chufeng has already escorted the grain and grass back. It is estimated that he will arrive in three days."

"Two people escorted grain and grass, but they took different routes. As for what happened, you will know when your uncle arrives."

That night, someone secretly came to the military camp and asked Qiao Chuanbai's confidant to pass the message in.

Qiao Chuanbai hurried out to meet him and found that it was Huo Yu who rode a fast horse from the capital and rushed in overnight.

"Second cousin?"

Compared to the large troops escorting food and fodder, Huo Yu, riding a fast horse, arrived at the border earlier than the two groups of people.

The moment Huo Yu saw Qiao Chuanbai, he leaned on him and his voice was weak.

"Cousin, help me up. I haven't eaten much on the way. I'm afraid I'll be late and I don't have any strength left."

Qiao Chuanbai helped him into the barracks without alarming anyone.

He first asked someone to bring hot water for Huo Yu to wash, and then asked someone to prepare meals.

After Huo Yu had eaten his fill, Qiao Chuanbai spoke with a curious look on his face.

"Second cousin, what's going on? Why did you come to the military camp?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu picked up the bundle placed aside, took out a bronze mirror from it, and handed it to Qiao Chuanbai with a serious look on his face.

"This is what my sister prepared for you. From now on, no matter what you do, you must put this bronze mirror on your chest. Do you hear me?"

Qiao Chuanbai softened when he heard that this thing was prepared for him by his sister.

When he went to the battlefield, the little girl was unhappy, and he thought he had made the little girl angry, but he didn't expect that the little girl was still secretly thinking about him.

He was very happy to receive the things from his sister, but the words that followed became more and more outrageous.

Qiao Chuanbai looked helpless.

"Huo Yu, I know what Nian Nian meant. Don't worry, I will keep it safe."

He would definitely keep the things his sister gave him, but he would never wear it out.

If he went to the battlefield, he would naturally wear iron armor, and it would be troublesome to wear this bronze mirror. As soon

as Huo Yu saw Qiao Chuanbai's appearance, he knew that he would not obediently wear this thing to the battlefield. But if he

didn't wear the bronze mirror, Qiao Chuanbai's life would not be saved, Huo Yu advised again.

"You must take this thing with you, it is related to your life, all of this was calculated by your cousin."

Qiao Chuanbai didn't take it to heart.

When he left, Qiao Nian Nian didn't know how to tell fortunes yet, so he naturally didn't believe that Qiao Nian Nian would suddenly know how to tell fortunes when he was away for a while.

As for the fortune-telling mentioned by Huo Yu, it was probably that the little girl met some master and was deceived by the master.

Seeing that Qiao Chuanbai still didn't believe it, Huo Yu was very anxious. Finally, he thought of something and spoke with a serious face.

"You know Nian Nian's temper. This is something she specially asked for for you. She spent a lot of effort for this thing. My cousin said that if you don't wear it, she will never pay attention to you as her elder brother again."

"Nian Nian cried at the time. She said that she dreamed that you were in danger. She cried and begged me to send the thing to her. She almost fainted at that time."

"If you don't wear it, my cousin will know it, and she will really ignore you in the future."

Qiao Chuanbai felt distressed when he heard it, and then felt helpless.

It was just a dream, how could it be true.

But after hearing that Qiao Niannian almost fainted from crying and that she would ignore him in the future, Qiao Chuanbai could no longer sit still.

He picked up the bronze mirror, placed it on his chest, and looked at Huo Yu: "Okay, I get it, I'll just wear it now!"

Huo Yu was satisfied: "Remember not to take it off. If you dare to take it off, I'll go back and tell my cousin to never talk to you again."

Qiao Chuanbai raised his forehead.

Whether it was the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion or the General's Mansion, they were all sons. Only her mother gave birth to this girl, Nian Nian, so naturally she grew up being pampered.

Whether it was her biological brothers or her cousins, they all doted on Qiao Niannian.

Huo Yu had been protecting the little girl since she was young. He said he would tell the little girl, and he really would.

Qiao Chuanbai didn't want his sister to hate himself. Although he was uncomfortable, he did not take down the bronze mirror.

Crying . Both children at the time were small, and it was normal for the trouble, but Qiao Chuanbai couldn't. Whoever dared to bully Qiao Nian, he was

afraid that Qiao Beichen hated his cousin. But his cousin was such a cute girl that everyone would pamper her. At night, Huo Yu stayed at Qiao Chuanbai's place.

The two of them had slept together in the barracks many times before, so they were used to it.

The next day, Qiao Chuanbai sent people to investigate the progress of his uncle, and the soldiers who went to investigate came back in the afternoon.

His uncle and his men were about to reach the border.

Qiao Chuanbai immediately followed the agreement with his grandfather and went out with a few confidants under the name of inspection.

Anyway, inspecting the environment is also for better combat, which is quite normal.

When Qiao Chuanbai led his men to the road and met Huo Hongye, they were both very excited.

Qiao Chuanbai arranged Huo Hongye and his party, as well as food and fodder, in a village.

This village used to have more than a hundred households, but later there was a border war, and the people here moved to other places, and the village became empty.

Although no one lives in the village, there are still some things that can be used.

After the group settled down, Qiao Chuanbai looked at Huo Hongye and asked.

"Uncle, wasn't my second uncle the one in charge of escorting the food this time? Why did you deliver the food?"
