"What is this going to do?"

Xie Chuntao said with tears in her eyes, she was pregnant, and she couldn't hear such news.

"I heard that every year on the Gobi Desert, there are people who freeze to death and die of thirst, saying that people will be turned into dried corpses, and it will take hundreds of years to be buried in the ground before they can be found." Eugene Gui exclaimed.

"You shut up for me, don't talk nonsense if you can't speak." Old Lady Bai reprimanded Eugene Gui sharply.

"You get out." Bai Erzhuang's face sank.

Eugene Gui's inopportune opening made the Bai family more and more panicked.

"Girl, say that your fifth brother is safe." Bai Muban, who has always been a woman over a man, had a panicked face.

Xiao Fuyuan said mechanically: "The fifth brother is safe. ”

At this time, she naturally hoped that the fifth brother would be safe.

But she always felt that the fifth brother could be safe this time by not just relying on his own words.

Zhen's face showed sadness.

She has never been as optimistic as Bai Muban, who feels that with the blessing of her daughter, her own fifth child will definitely be fine if she goes into battle to kill the enemy.

Zhen's grandfather made his fortune on horseback on the border, and when she was a child, she heard her grandfather talk about the horse-leather shroud of strong men going out to fight, and knew that war was the most ruthless and the most bloodshed.

Even if the fifth child is really safe and sound, as the girl said, I am afraid that I will take off a layer of skin and suffer a lot.

"The girl said that Lao Wu and General Meng are short of food." Zhen stabilized his emotions and analyzed, "In the summer, the requisitioned grain was transported to the border, and it was only a short time of food, so was the grain not transported to the border at all......

Zhen grew up in the capital since he was a child, and even if he didn't go through the border battle, he had heard of it.

"Mother, this grain is shipped from Huaicheng, I will go to Huaicheng Lord Liu to inquire and see what the specific news is......"

Hearing Zhen say this, Bai Dazhuang was the first to react!

"Okay, you go quickly." Bai Muban said.

"I'll go with my eldest brother." Bai Erzhuang stood up, the eldest brother personally contributed the most in the autumn harvest, and he planned to go to Huaicheng with the eldest brother.

In addition to the prefect, he also planned to go to Zhou's house to inquire about the news.

After all, Zhou's son-in-law, the Marquis of Zhongjing, once supervised the army on the border.

Maybe you know some news that the prefect doesn't know.

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang didn't have time to change their clothes, so they hurriedly set up the carriage.

Knowing that his son was tired all night and hadn't eaten breakfast, Zhen handed the steamed buns and eggs on the table to the carriage and let the brothers satisfy their hunger on the road.

"Big brother, and the Jade Pavilion should also ask." Xiao Fuyuan chased after him and said.

The shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion came to give Xiao Fu a plate account once a month, although Xiao Fuyuan didn't understand the accounts, he didn't dare to slack off.

Xiao Fuyuan felt that such a big shop as Jade Pavilion, and Cheng Mei was the number one female businesswoman in the world, she must have her own news, and she might be able to get the latest news if she went there to inquire about it.

"Big brother, there are a few Hu merchants who went to the border to deliver wool, you can also ask." Qiu Niang said.

"Got it." Bai Dazhuang started the carriage.

As soon as the Bai brothers left, no one in the Bai family had the heart to work and eat.

Fortunately, the crops in the field have already been received at home, so there is no need to go to the field with thoughts.

So, except for Qiu Niang, who went to the embroidery workshop as usual, everyone else was waiting for news at home.

"The fifth brother will be fine." Pregnant woman Xie Chuntao was the most restless.

"No!" Mrs. Bai is more determined than Xiao Fuyuan.

Bai Muban and Zhen's asked Xiao Fuyuan to say "Fifth brother is safe" every once in a while.

Xiao Fuyuan did it!

"Dad, mother, the fifth brother will be fine." Xiao Fuyuan comforted his father.

But what she didn't tell her father and mother was that the fact that the fifth brother would be fine did not mean that the fifth brother would suffer.

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang arrived at 10 a.m.

Because they didn't sleep for two days, and after inquiring about the news, the brothers looked tired.

"What's going on? Can you find out? "Bai Woodboard's anxiety can't be contained.

"Daddy......" Bai Dazhuang took a big sip of water and said, "When we arrived at the prefect's mansion, someone happened to report that the grain transported to the border had been robbed......

I was really guessed right by Zhen!

"What, the grain has been robbed." Bai Muban became more and more sure that Xiao Fuyuan's dream was real, and he couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought that Lao Wu would starve while killing enemies at the border.

"Who dares to rob the grain that is being shipped to the border." Zhen muttered to himself.

That's what they don't know as ordinary people.

"What did Lord Liu say?" Old Lady Bai asked.

Bai Dazhuang shook his head.

"Grain has been robbed...... Lord Liu was also shocked, and the rest of the matter is not something we can mix. Bai Erzhuang said.

The grain transported to the border was looted, and it was necessary to put it on hold, and everyone learned of this news and continued to live their lives after a few curses.

But it's different now, now the fifth is at the border.

But there's no way to do it in a hurry now.

"Dad, mother, my second brother and I went to Lord Liu's, and we also met Hu Shang, who cooperated with our embroidery workshop, and the shopkeeper of Jade Pavilion......" Bai Dazhuang slowly spoke, and said with a twist, "I'm the eldest brother, I can't watch the fifth brother fall into danger, I want to go to the border to send food to the fifth brother." ”

Bai Dazhuang's words stunned everyone in the Bai family.

"I agree with Big Brother." Bai Erzhuang said, "I asked Lord Liu, now the border grain province can last for a month, and we can still send food to the fifth brother." ”

It seems that the brothers made a decision on the way here.

After a while, Bai Muban asked Xiao Fuyuan: "Girl, if there is no food, do you think your fifth brother will be fine?" ”

Xiao Fuyuan shook his head and said, "Fifth brother will be fine." ”

"What about General Meng?" The white plank struggled to speak.

Xiao Fuyuan didn't speak.

At this moment, the Bai family understood that even if there was no food, Bai Zhaomei would not die, but General Meng and Xie Xiaolian and others were not necessarily.

Xie Chuntao's tears came out all of a sudden, after all, Xie Xiaolian recognized her as a sister.

Poor Xie Xiaolian, who has no family since she was a child, if she dies at the border, Xie Chuntao feels empty in her heart.

Others also felt sad, after all, Xie Xiaolian and Wu Xiaoying were very familiar with the Bai family, and they also helped the Bai family with farm work, and Xie Xiaolian was still Bai Zhaomei's master.

"If General Meng and Xie Xiaolian have something to do, only our fifth child will be fine, and it is estimated that the fifth child will not have a good time in the second half of his life." Zhen said.

"Boss, the border is so far away, what rules do you have?" Shiraka asked.

"The two Hu merchants who are familiar with the third brother's shop happened to go to the border, I went with them, and the shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion said that Cheng Da Butler has his own dart game, and he can arrange for the people of the dart bureau to go together...... Bai Dazhuang had already thought of his words on the way here.

"I'll go with my eldest brother." Bai Erzhuang said.

The Bai family fell silent again.

After a long time, Zhen said: "I think it's okay for the eldest and second to go to the border to deliver food." ”

"The fact that official grain can be looted shows that those people have a way to go. I'm afraid it's too late to wait for the second wave of grain to be delivered, so let's go and deliver the grain ourselves, and those who rob the grain probably won't think of it and won't pay attention to us. Zhen analyzed, "I think that in addition to the difficult road, the danger of being robbed is not great." ”

"Go and deliver food." Xiao Fuyuan waved his fist with a determined expression.

When Mrs. Bai heard her granddaughter speak, she said with determination: "Then go to the border to deliver food." ”
