Chapter 288: The Imperial Expedition
Yun Yao and Xueyin returned home, changed into modern clothes, and didn't care about resting, so they drove out to find a warehouse.
She had to prepare some military rations for Xiao Chuhan and buy some commonly used medicines. The warehouse doesn't need to be too big, but it must be hidden and not in the downtown area. Curious people abound, and if someone finds out that the things in her warehouse are always disappearing inexplicably, then she will be in big trouble.
Where to rent a warehouse? Yun Yao drove around a lot, and finally found an old warehouse in the suburbs that was about to be demolished. Most of the residents have moved away, and the warehouses have long since been vacated.
I heard that Yun Yao only rented for a few months, and the landlord signed a contract with her without saying a word, and the rent was quite low. Anyway, it's going to be demolished, and the rent for the past few months will be picked up for nothing.
"Okay, the warehouse matter is settled, let's go buy some food first." Yun Yao put the contract and key away, and pulled Xueyin to the wholesale market.
Buying things here is not the same as the supermarket, people don't talk to you about how much a pound is, they sell it directly by the ton, and the delivery is also a big truck.
Yun Yao's dress doesn't look like she's selling goods wholesale, and no one pays attention to her after wandering around for a long time. Fortunately, she has also been in business for more than half a year, and no one pays attention to her, so she listens to others talk about prices, loading, and unloading, and after listening to it a few times, she will understand it.
Xiao Chuhan gave her a box full of jewelry, and it was enough to buy some rice and noodles. Yun Yao directly found someone to order a cart of rice, a cart of noodles, paid a deposit to make an appointment for the time and place of delivery, and the boss immediately arranged for someone to load the car for her.
The 2 yuan a pound of rice she bought, the two trucks add up to only 50,000 yuan.
Looking at the grain bags piled up as high as a hill, Yun Yao's heart trembled.
Xiao Chuhan actually bragged that she donated hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, and he didn't want to think about it, let alone carrying these grains, just touching each bag was enough for her to touch for half a day.
"Xueyin, moving so many things to Xiliang won't tire you to death directly, right?" Yun Yao looked a little scared.
Xue Yin blinked her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, the prince has promised to help me get the other two jade hooks, I have to show it." It's really not good, people move it a few more times, and this little thing doesn't tire me to death. ”
Yun Yao hugged Xueyin distressedly and promised: "Okay, I'll ask him later, what day will the tribute at the end of the year be." When the time comes, let's also go into the God King City to have fun, maybe it will work on the spot! ”
"Don't!" Xue Yin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Let's wait for the prince to bring the jade hook back." Don't venture out, master! ”
"I'm not afraid you're in a hurry!" Yun Yao was a little strange.
Xue Yin was afraid that she would insist on going to God King City, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Xue Yin is not in a hurry at all." Master, do we need to buy anything else? It's getting dark, so if you want to buy it, you have to hurry. ”
Yun Yao originally wanted to buy some more vegetables, but when she was interrupted by Xueyin, she stopped continuing the topic just now, and hurriedly drove the car to another wholesale market.
Vegetable wholesale is usually done in the morning market, but it is already afternoon, and many shops have closed. Fortunately, Yun Yao didn't pick and choose, and just found someone to buy a few carts of potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and green peppers, and let people follow her car to the warehouse.
Yun Yao opened the door for people to unload, and as soon as the dishes were placed, the rice and noodles were also sent over there. The three workers moved together, and it took a long time to pile up a cart of rice.
Yun Yao sent the workers away after paying, and directly locked the door of the warehouse.
Xiao Chuhan didn't know that she had bought so many things, so she had to go to him and ask him to arrange a secret warehouse.
Thinking about the simple meals that Xiao Chuhan has eaten these days, Yun Yao directly ordered a table of dishes from a restaurant, asked people to pack them all for her, and carried a box of meals to Xiliang.
It was already dark, and the Yunyao Palace had already lit candles. Yun Yao put down the incubator, opened the door and walked out.
Xiao Xi thought that Yun Yao was still resting in the house and had been guarding outside. Seeing her come out, he hurriedly greeted her: "County Lord, are you awake?" Do you want the slave to invite the prince over? ”
"Okay, go and invite, remember to call Li Daniu too!" Yun Yao nodded and shrank into the room again.
Xiliang was too cold, and she had just come from modern times, and it was really difficult for her to adapt for a while.
After Xiao Chuhan left, he really summoned several of his generals to hold a secret meeting, and Da Niu was also in the ranks.
It's not that no one questioned Da Niu's identity, Xiao Chuhan only signaled him to take out the golden sheath dagger to light up, and those people stopped talking. Seeing this dagger as if the prince was coming in person, this person must be the prince's henchman.
Xiao Chuhan briefly introduced the current situation, and then showed his hole cards.
There are Xiliang's troops in the open, Nangong Mo's ambush soldiers in the dark, and he also contacted the princes of the other two states. Now those two are also rushing to the Divine King City with a large army under the pretext of participating in the year-end tribute.
Just these few people and horses were enough for Yao Xuan to drink a pot, not to mention that he also cured the epidemic in Wangcheng with the help of Yun Yao, and hoarded a large amount of military rations. The situation has been reversed, as long as the opportunity is seized, Xiliang will win this battle.
Several generals are all from the main battle faction, and after listening to Xiao Chuhan's words, they are gearing up one by one, and they can't wait to go to the God King City now.
"Lord Wang, your subordinates please fight!" General Zhao Desheng was the first to stand up. Over the years, Xiliang has been oppressed by the God King Palace, he has long wanted to fight a good battle, and now the opportunity is in front of him, and it makes people's blood boil when he thinks about it.
Zhao Desheng was not the only one who had this idea, and several other generals also asked for battle, for fear of falling behind. The Great Wilderness has been very peaceful all these years, and these generals have no place to use them at all, and the knives in their hands are about to rust!
"Lord Wang, please let your subordinates go to the God King City with illness! If you can't break its door, your subordinates will come to see you! ”
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to go!"
Several people asked for battle, but Xiao Chuhan shook his head and smiled: "No, you have another task, this battle is going to lead the team to fight in person!" ”
"Lord Wang!" Zhao Desheng hurriedly dissuaded: "Xiliang's safety is all about you, you must not be in danger!" ”
"The king's mind has been decided, and you need no more persuasion. Now let's discuss the specific battle plan. Xiao Chuhan was unmoved, and insisted on driving the expedition in person. The stakes are high, and he cannot put his fate in anyone's hands.
If he wins this battle, he will be able to withdraw from the marriage smoothly, and from then on he will live and fly with Yun'er; If you lose...... He will lose everything and die forever. At that time, what face does he have to pursue Yun'er?
He can't afford to lose no matter what! Only by winning the war can the people of Xiliang have a way to live, and he himself can have a way to live.
Several people spread out the map and discussed carefully, how to feint and show weakness, how to lure the enemy deeper, launch an ambush there, how to cooperate with Nangong Mo, everything was discussed, and the sky was already dark.
"Okay, that's the general plan, report to this king what armaments and materials you each need." Because of Yun Yao's assurance, Xiao Chuhan directly let out big words.
It is rare for the prince to be so generous today, and several generals immediately searched their stomachs and made demands. There are those who want to change their weapons, those who want to prepare enough food and grass, and those who want to advance military salaries, Xiao Chuhan wrote them down one by one.
"Okay, the content of today's meeting must be kept secret, except for a few of us, we must not leak half a sentence to anyone, and those who disobey will be killed!" Xiao Chuhan admonished, and ordered everyone to disperse, leaving only the big cow.
"What do you think?" Xiao Chuhan asked.
Da Niu obviously spoke very well when he chatted with him alone last night, but he didn't say a word at the meeting today, which made Xiao Chuhan a little disappointed.
Yun Yao has been taken care of by the big cow since he came to the Great Wilderness, and Xiao Chuhan originally thought that he would repay him for entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, but he didn't expect him to hide it.
"I said what I had to say last night, so there's no need to repeat it today." Da Niu hesitated for a moment, but still asked more: "I'm only worried about Nangong Mo now." I'm afraid that this person will suddenly change and affect our overall situation. ”
Xiao Chuhan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. In this way, this king will be prepared with both hands, even if he turns back on the spot, it will not help. ”
"If only you had a good idea." Da Niu nodded and stood up: "Let's go back, Xiaoyun should be coming soon." ”
A man thinks about his girlfriend in front of him, which Xiao Chuhan can't bear a little. Although Yun'er had a little trouble with him, he wasn't coaxing, but he couldn't let people destroy it anymore.
"Don't worry, if Yun'er comes, someone will call me." Xiao Chuhan sat still, and Da Niu had to stay.
The two stared at each other and didn't know what to say, and Xiaoxi reported outside the door: "Lord Wang, the county lord invites you to come over." ”
Hey, Yun'er really came to me as soon as she came back. Xiao Chuhan stood up proudly and glanced at Da Niu, and said, "You go back to the county lord, and this king will be there soon." ”
"The county lord also said that he would invite Master Li to go with him." Xiaoxi added another sentence outside, and the prince's face suddenly darkened.
"Got it, go ahead." Xiao Chuhan was helpless, so he had to rush to Jinyun Palace with the big cow. Although Da Niu didn't say anything, he just had a little dull face.
Yun'er, Yun'er, when will you be able to pretend to be alone in your heart? Xiao Chuhan walked away and sighed quietly.
Da Niu looked at Xiao Chuhan with a helpless face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly. Obviously, he met Xiaoyun first, even if they can't get married, they have to be friends for life. Xiaoyun is from modern times, and you expect her to avoid foreign men for you? It's a bit of a thought.
Xiao Chuhan, you just have a headache slowly.
The two of them walked into Jinyun Palace with their front and back feet, and Yun Yao had already set up the meal in the inner room. The incubator in the hotel works well, and it is still hot.
"You're here? Sit down and eat! Seeing the two of them coming in, Yun Yao didn't think much about it at all, and directly served a meal for the two of them.
"Eat, I have something important to tell you when I'm done."
