Li Dalang took the silver with a smile on his face, thanked him repeatedly, and followed Eunuch Xiao Xia in his mule cart.
The military flags fluttered in the cold wind. Li Dalang and his three companions did not dare to look around and followed Eunuch Xiao Xia cautiously.
Suddenly, a deep voice stopped them, "This is a restricted area in the military camp. How can you allow strangers to enter?"
The three of them were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks. Eunuch Xiao Xia looked in the direction of the voice and said with a smile, "General Xing, you may not know that the charcoal provided in this barracks is of extremely low quality. Not only does it burn, but it also produces a lot of thick smoke. It's really not suitable for our master to keep warm. I hope the general will be flexible!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Yun stepped forward and examined the few people. He found that Old Man Zhao looked familiar, so he couldn't help but ask, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Old Man Zhao nodded quickly. "A few days ago, I came with Miss Li to deliver peppercorn seeds to the young general, and I saw him outside the camp!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Yun stepped forward to check the charcoal on the mule cart and then asked, "Did you make all this charcoal?"
Old man Zhao nodded involuntarily: "That's right, the girl led us to do it!"
Xing Yun nodded and said, "Let's go. Don't look around in this important military area. Come out quickly after delivering the things!"
The three of them nodded repeatedly and followed Eunuch Xiao Xia with their heads down.
After the people left, Xing Yun called over his men and asked in a low voice, "Is the charcoal in the barracks as Eunuch Xia just said?"
The young general scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's true that burning is not really prohibited. As for the smoke, rough guys like us don't feel it!"
You can go and ask the military supply station what price they paid for the charcoal they purchased. If the difference is not big, you can go to another station to buy from. I think the charcoal in the truck just now is pretty good!
The young general immediately understood and trotted over to find out.
On the other side, Qin Yue was boredly playing with the teacup in his hand when suddenly a figure stepped into the inner room: "What are you thinking about? I saw you in a daze the moment I walked in!"
Qin Yue collected his thoughts and asked curiously, "Why do you have time to sit here with me today?"
The Fourth Prince sat down opposite Qin Yue and poured himself a cup of tea. "I've seen everything your father wanted me to see. Do you think I can know what he didn't want me to know in just a few days?"
Qin Yue couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this: "Then when will you go back?"
The Fourth Prince took a sip of tea from his cup and murmured, "Let's just wait for these few days. We've been out for a long time now. If we don't set off now, I'm afraid we won't be able to return before the New Year!"
Qin Yue couldn't help but ask: "Can you do the same as when you came here? I will clear the way for you. I don't know how many people in the capital are hoping that you will never return!"
The Fourth Prince said helplessly, "How come I, a non-eldest prince whose mother's family is not powerful, am always targeted by those people?"
Qin Yue didn't know how to respond, so he just drank the tea in the cup silently!
After a long silence, the Fourth Prince suddenly said, "If you don't want to go back to the capital on this return trip, you can stay here. Compared to the capital, you can find more opportunities here!"
Qin Yue asked worriedly: "What about you?"
The Fourth Prince waved his hand and said, "This time, I came with my father's order to have General Qin return with me. With General Qin here, we should be safe!"
Qin Yue nodded and raised the teacup in his hand: "Take care on your journey!" It didn't matter to Qin Yue whether he returned to his home in the capital. With his stepmother's indifference and his uncles' contempt for him, he finally got out of that oppressive cage and didn't want to go back!
At this time, Eunuch Xiao Xia led the three people to a side room, opened the door, and urged them to unload the charcoal.
After unloading the charcoal, Eunuch Xiao Xia casually called over a soldier and said, "Young man, please help me get these people out of the camp. Don't let them wander around in the camp!"
The soldier looked at the three people standing there with their hands hanging down, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"
The three men immediately got on the mule and followed the soldier out of the camp.
The three of them just kept their heads down as they walked, not daring to look around. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind them: "Wait a minute, you who's pulling the mule in front!"
Li Dalang's heart tightened when he heard this: "This, this, is calling me?"
The young general ran up to them breathlessly and said, "What's wrong with you? I asked you to wait, but you just kept walking!"
Looking at the young general with a fierce look on his face, Li Dalang stammered, "Sir, I wonder if you have any instructions for us?"
