"The breasts are the same, the yellow skin is thin, and the dress is so nondescript, it's really a shame for a woman."

"It's just that this face looks fresh, and besides, what else can you get?"

Lin Ruan looked at Wu Yue's two concubines judging him with a look of disgust, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

She should have followed Wu Yue to the barracks just now.

This is in someone else's house, and she has a request for Wu Yue, so it is not good to face his concubine with a bad face, so she smiled at the two: "Don't misunderstand the two ladies, I am the emperor's personal title from the county lord of Sanpin, the title is Fuyou, and my maternal grandfather is the king of Jingwu County." This time I came to Lingnan because I had something important to ask Wu Shibo for help. Because I came in a hurry and didn't know the existence of the two ladies, I didn't prepare a greeting gift, and I asked the two ladies not to be surprised. ”

After the two of them listened to her words, they changed their faces and called it fast.

"Eh, it turned out to be the general's niece, it's really different from the ordinary girl's family, looking at the style and wealth of this body, it's really enviable."

"That's it, we haven't heard much about your deeds, county lord, and we all admire you very much. Tell me, where can you find a second person as powerful as the county lord in this Manda Zhou. ”

Lin Ruan listened to the sycophants of these two people, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

After living in Wu Yue's mansion for several days, Wu Yue dispatched the manpower, vehicles and boats, and the number of people was 1,000 more than Lin Ruan's request.

The car is easy to say, but the boat is hard to find, all of them were drawn from the major trading houses in Lingnan by Wu Yue, and it was not easy to get it together.

"The road from Lingnan to Huaiyang is far away, and now there is a serious drought in many places, and if there are fewer people, I am afraid that we will not be able to protect these grains. Originally, I wanted to send you more manpower, but as you know, our garrison cannot be dispatched without a call. And I have to always guard against those Japanese people on the other side of the sea, so I can only draw these hands. ”

Lin Ruan saluted Wu Yue and thanked him, "Three thousand people are enough, thank you Shibo." ”

Wu Yue waved his hand, "Don't talk about those empty things, let's go, go and see the food you found." ”

Lin Ruan nodded and went out with Wu Yue.

Outside the door, three thousand soldiers, with carts and horses loaded with grain, were ready to go, and the leader of the troops was Wu Yue's most trusted lieutenant general, surnamed Zhao.

Vice General Zhao stepped forward to greet Lin Ruan, and then went back and commanded the soldiers to get into the empty carriage that had not yet been loaded with grain, followed by Lin Ruan and Wu Yue's horses, and rushed towards the place where the grain was placed.

The grain was placed by Lin Nguyen in a remote valley, some distance from the wharf, and these wagons were used to transport grain from the valley to the wharf.

When the soldiers came out of the valley carrying the bags of grain, Wu Yue's eyes were a little hot.

What is the most important thing about marching to war? Nature is food and grass. This year's drought will also affect their military camps to some extent.

Lin Ruan saw Wu Yue's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Shibo, after this drought is resolved, how about your niece send you 100,000 stones of grain and grass?" ”

Wu Yue's eyes lit up: "Then I will thank you for the 30,000 soldiers stationed in Lingnan." ”

Lin Ruan Zhengse said: "I don't deserve the thank you of the uncle, without your soldiers guarding the border pass, how can the world be peaceful, and my niece can only do her best to provide you with some insignificant help." ”

Wu Yue was a little moved, "Good boy, worthy of being the daughter of Mengjun, worthy of being the descendant of the Shen family." ”

Lin Ruan heard him call Shen Mengjun's name again, so he asked, "Shibo and my mother used to know each other?" ”

Wu Yue smiled: "It's very familiar, I am a childhood sweetheart with her, I grew up together at the border when I was a child, and the relationship is not bad." It's a pity that she's not in good health and doesn't spend much time with us. Your mother is a very good girl, if she hadn't been born a daughter, she would have been a general. ”

I see.

All the grain was transferred from the valley to the hundreds of large ships docked at the docks, and all the soldiers boarded the ships.

Lin Ruan also said goodbye to Wu Yue, and boarded the big ship headed by Fei Fu and Luo Hua with Fei Fu, heading in the direction of Huaiyang Mansion and going upstream.

Huaiyang Mansion.

It was August, but the temperature remained high, there was no rain for nearly four months, and most of the crops in the farmland were dying, leaving only the sweet potatoes alive.

These sweet potatoes have become the hope in everyone's eyes.

As long as the village grows sweet potatoes, almost all the people in the village go into battle and strictly guard the farmland in their own village.

Because a few days ago, someone's sweet potatoes were stolen.

It was a life-saving food that had not yet grown, and it was just gouged up, and the family was desperate to hang themselves. Fortunately, he was found by a neighbor and saved in time.

The other villages no longer dared to be careless, and sent people to the sweet potato fields every day to take turns guarding them.

It is only now that they truly understand the meaning of "sweet potatoes are full of treasures".

During the four months of drought, they saved water from between their teeth to water the sweet potatoes, which did not do much for other crops, but the sweet potatoes survived.

These days, most people's homes have run out of food, and they are so hungry that they have to go around digging wild vegetables to eat.

But it didn't rain for several months, and the wild vegetables had long since died, so they had to dig some roots and grass roots to eat.

And the farmers who have planted sweet potatoes have not yet been forced to do this.

Because they also have sweet potato leaves.

These leaves are edible, and picking some of them every day is also a good food to satisfy hunger.

At this time, the people are really grateful to Lin Ruan, if it weren't for Lin Ruan to get this sweet potato, I'm afraid they would have no way to live now.

It's just that if it doesn't rain again, I don't know how long this sweet potato can last.

At this time, Chen Zhizhou was also thinking about this problem, the drought has been extremely serious, and the people's food has bottomed out.

The first to be unlucky are the farmers who have grown sweet potatoes.

I was about to ask King Shen Jun what to do, but it was obvious that King Shen Jun had a calm face, and his words were swallowed back.

It's been almost three months since the county lord of Fuyou set out to look for food, and there is no news at all, and no one knows where she went.

Let's not talk about whether you can find food or not, if something happens on the way, how can the Shen family accept it.

However, he also couldn't figure it out, how could King Shen agree to let the county lord go out to find food with only two people?

The worry in Shen Junwang's heart was really indescribable, he thought that Lin Ruan would be able to come back in two months at most, but he didn't expect that it would only be three months since he saw it, and he still hadn't seen her.

That's it, he didn't even bring back a letter, he really regretted it, and he strongly asked to go with her when he knew it.

In the past few days, Princess Shen was so angry that she didn't allow him to enter, complaining that he shouldn't have agreed to Lin Ruan to go out.

He himself regretted it, but it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only tell himself that Ah Ruan would be fine, and she would definitely return safely with food.

King Shen Jun was upset in his heart, stood up, and wanted to go outside for a walk. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone rushing in in a panic, "Oh no, it's messy." ”
