After the soldier hurried away for a while, he came here quickly with a group of soldiers in armor. The leader, Xing Yun, might have just come down from the martial arts field. He was wearing black tights, and in such cold weather, beads of sweat could be seen flowing down his temples.
Xing Yun walked up to Li Yan and asked happily, "Did you really help me find pepper seeds?"
Li Yan opened the sack of pepper seeds and motioned Xing Yun to check it.
Xing Yun hurried to Li Yan's side, reached out and took out a handful of plump and round pepper seeds from the bag.
Xing Yun said excitedly, "I'm going to plant this all over the hills and fields of the West City Camp!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded. "That's a very good idea. The spicy and pungent flavor of Sichuan peppercorns not only provides the body with the heat it needs to resist the cold, but also has a refreshing effect on the mind. It will greatly help the soldiers' physical strength and combat effectiveness."
After hearing Li Yan's words, Xing Yun held the pepper fruit tightly, his eyes flashing with determination! He firmly believed that this approach would benefit the soldiers in every way!
Guarding the Northwest in such a harsh environment is difficult, and the freezing winter is a test of their will.
Now that they have peppercorns, they will plant them in the mountains and fields near the camp next year. Xing Yun feels it is worth it, even if it is just to provide a little comfort to the soldiers in the cold winter.
Looking at the delighted Xing Yun, Li Yan sighed inwardly, "This man truly cares about his soldiers. The Northwest Army must be blessed to have such a leader!"
After his joy subsided, Xing Yun gathered his thoughts and solemnly thanked Li Yan: "Miss Li, I am leading the soldiers from the northwest, thank you! How much silver do you think these things will cost? I'll take them all!"
Li Yan waved her hand and refused, "If you pay me, I won't give you these peppercorns. General Xing is considering the Northwest soldiers, so as a member of the Northwest people, we should do the same!"
"What a duty!" Suddenly a mellow male voice sounded behind Li Yan. Li Yan and her group looked back and saw a group of soldiers in armor and with cold faces riding tall horses arriving outside the camp gate.
The leading man was broad-shouldered and strong, wearing heavy armor and a helmet. The armor on his body gleamed with a cold light. His eyes were bright and revealed his determination and resoluteness. This man was General Qin, the leader and commander of the Northwest Army.
The Zhao family father and son had never seen such a scene before, and they were so scared that they dared not move!
The soldiers guarding the gate immediately opened the gate of the camp when they saw General Qin.
General Qin led a group of soldiers wearing armor and riding tall horses towards the camp.
Seeing that it was General Qin and his entourage, the soldiers immediately saluted and greeted them solemnly, welcoming General Qin back to the camp.
General Qin glanced around and noticed the peppercorns in Xing Yun's hand.
He dismounted, walked forward, grabbed a handful of peppercorn seeds, and asked, "Are these the peppercorns you brought back from Piaoxianglou last time?"
Xing Yun nodded without hesitation. "Miss Li helped find it. Miss Li said that the peppercorns are spicy and fragrant. They can provide heat to resist the cold and refresh the mind. They are very helpful to the soldiers' physical strength and combat effectiveness."
General Qin smiled slightly and praised, "That's a good idea indeed. In the cold winter, the soldiers need strong supplies to maintain their combat effectiveness."
He then turned his gaze to Li Yan and said with a smile, "Miss Li, I want to thank you for finding peppercorns for the soldiers of the Northwest Army!"
Li Yan hurriedly said, "This idea was all thought up by General Xing. You don't deserve my thanks!"
