"The Yan Kingdom in the south is eyeing us covetously. Killing the war horses is a temporary measure, but God bless me and I beg you. My food has arrived, and the soldiers will not go to the battlefield hungry!"

Food was a major concern for Wan Lianxing. This was the first good news in the past few days, and the dark cloud hanging over Wan Lianxing's head was finally reduced.

Hearing that the food had arrived, many people in the military camp came to watch, including Cheng Feng, who was ordered to be used as an animal trap. Being hungry is not a pleasant feeling, and Cheng Feng is no exception.

Cheng Feng had sharp eyes and spotted Shang Xi, who was dressed as a man, at a glance, "Wife, why are you here!"

Shang Xi was very nervous along the way. After all, she, a woman, had walked for ten days with a group of men to get here. She was very happy to see Cheng Feng at this time. She ran towards Cheng Feng excitedly, "The amount of grain transported this time is too large. I was afraid that there would be any accidents on the road, so I followed the grain transport officer and others!"

Cheng Feng pulled the dusty Shang Xi and scolded her: "Why did you come here instead of staying at home? Even if something happened on the way, what can a weak woman like you do..."

Cheng Feng was interrupted by Shang Xi before he finished his scolding. She looked at Cheng Feng nervously, "Cheng Feng, are you injured? Why is your leg still lame?"

"I was bitten by a wolf!" Cheng Feng had fought wild beasts for so many years but had never been bitten by a wolf. He only went to the battlefield once with his uncle, and he didn't kill an enemy but was bitten by a wolf. If everyone hadn't been injured by the beast, Cheng Feng would have been embarrassed to say it out loud!

"He was bitten by a wolf. Are there wolves here?" Shang Xi looked around nervously!

"Don't be afraid, there are no wolves in our camp, and I'm not seriously injured, so don't worry!"

"You're lame, and you still say it's not serious." Shang Xi didn't dare to touch the injured part of Cheng Feng hard. There was a large piece of gauze wrapped around Cheng Feng's thigh. Shang Xi felt sorry for Cheng Feng. Could it be that a wolf had bitten off a piece of flesh?

Cheng Feng didn't want Shang Xi to worry about him too much, "My injury is considered light."

Shang Xi glanced around after hearing this and immediately saw Suiying, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling: "Suiying, where are you hurt?"

"Oh, I was bitten by a wolf. There is nothing good about me except my head!"

"You are so badly injured, why don't you lie down in bed!"

"I'm so hungry, how can I lie down? The longer I lie down, the hungrier I get."

Shang Xi looked at the pale and skinny people, including Cheng Feng, who had lost a lot of weight. This was obviously caused by hunger: "What have you been relying on to fill your stomach recently?"

Suiying said, "A few days ago, the people sent us food, but there was not enough food for the 50,000 men in the camp, even for rice soup. In order to prepare for the battle today, the emperor ordered the killing of war horses yesterday to feed everyone. In the past few days, only yesterday did we eat half full. Shangxi, you guys came at the perfect time, otherwise we would all be starving to death if the enemy attacked us tomorrow!"

Shang Xi is smart, and Sui Ying has never been a pessimistic person. When he said this, Shang Xi immediately became alert: "Is the enemy very powerful? Didn't they say that they don't have many soldiers left? Fifty thousand people against five thousand people, don't you have a chance of winning?"

Suiying shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think!"

Just when Shang Xi was about to ask, Wan Lianxing came. Seeing Shang Xi, Wan Lianxing was also surprised, "Shang Xi, why are you here? Are you missing your Cheng Feng?"

Shang Xi greeted Wan Lianxing with a smile, and then said, "I'm worried about you and the food." Shang Xi didn't dare to say in front of so many people that there was limited food in their granary. If there was a problem with this batch of food, the soldiers would really starve.

Fengqi has been established for four years, and wars have been going on. Not to mention the labor and loss of money, the food and grass alone are a huge expense. Although the whole country can be self-sufficient in food, the remaining food reserves are limited, otherwise Shang Xi would not be so worried about the food and make a personal trip.

It was a long journey from Fengying to here, and with so much food under their belt, Wan Lianxing knew how much pressure Shang Xi and his group were under. "You've worked hard along the way, but you arrived a few days earlier than we expected!"

Shang Xi said: "We didn't take the official road all the way. When necessary, we took the small road!" In order to get here quickly and smoothly, Shang Xi spent a lot of money to bribe people.

"You have arrived just in time. I will reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, uncle! Uncle, how do you keep all this food?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Everyone, don't be afraid of insects and ants anymore. Sui Dan has already mastered the method to deal with insects and ants. We must not let the enemy use the same trick successfully twice!"

Shang Xi was about to praise Sui Dan when her eyes were attracted by the people around Wan Lianxing, "Sui Cong, you're back! My son You Ning missed you so much!"

"Hahahaha, in this world, only my disciple can think of my followers!"

Shang Xi was happy to see the attendant. She was looking forward to his return. With the attendant here, Cheng Youning wouldn't have to do the arson. But she could also hear the attendant's unhappiness. "Who said that? My uncle misses you too. For you, he planted two bowl-thick trees for you in the Yangxin Palace. They are both more than a person tall. You can go back and enjoy the coolness under the trees!"

The attendant turned his head and glanced at Wan Lianxing, "I have never heard of planting trees in the palace. Are you really afraid that you will die too soon? How dare you plant trees in the palace? Aren't you afraid that there will be assassins hiding in the trees?"

Wan Lianxing smiled for the first time today. He knew that his followers were concerned about his safety. "If you were by my side, I wouldn't be afraid of assassins! You like to lie on trees. When I was the governor of Fengqi, I cut down two trees in the yard, which made you very unhappy. I always remembered this matter, so when I was building the palace, I had two trees transplanted in the yard for you!"

No one can be Wan Lianxing's match when it comes to playing the emotional card, because Wan Lianxing really invests his feelings into the people he likes. Wan Lianxing cannot tell outsiders about what his followers have done for him. The reason why he, Wan Lianxing, has endless gold is that most of it is ownerless property that his followers brought for him from all over the place.

At the same time, the followers are also Wan Lianxing's secret guards. In the past, except for a few people around Wan Lianxing, no one knew about the existence of the followers, so the followers always occupied an irreplaceable position in Wan Lianxing's heart.

What others say is unlikely to move his followers, including Wan Lianxing.

The follower spent four years thinking about one thing: how could Wan Lianxing be so treacherous and ungrateful.
