King Dongshan paused when he heard this, and then he thought about it and understood it. After all, they had to march quickly!

He asked calmly:

"How long will it take for the rest of the food and fodder to arrive?" One needs to know how many days' shortage there is before he can shamelessly go to Shopkeeper Shang and Ye Qingfeng to "beg for alms."

Shopkeeper Shang seems to be smiling and easy to talk to, but in fact he is just a slippery loach, difficult to control.

Although he had doubts about his identity, he did not ask too many questions.

You can tell at first glance that he is a shrewd person who doesn't want to be involved in gossip.

However, he can't hide now just because he wants to, and the army can't help him for free.

General Fan frowned and estimated in his heart, then spoke hesitantly:

"Your Highness, it will take about ten days." The baggage and food supplies were originally slow to move, and the weather factors must also be taken into account.

If it’s a rainy day, the muddy road will only make things slower!

King Dongshan was also helpless about this. He just said "hmm" and nothing else.

General Fan was nervous, but thinking of his tired and hungry men, he could only bite the bullet and ask:

"Your Majesty, can we cook tonight?"

If you have food, you can cook and have some hot meals.

After several days of eating dry food, my throat is about to be sore.

King Dongshan stood up, walked out from behind the table and said:

"Well! Then it depends on whether my face can be exchanged for food and grass for you." After all, there are not many people here who give him face.

Jubu Ren had already left the study. He found Ye Qingfeng again and told him about the army's need for food and fodder.

Ye Qingfeng: What does this have to do with me?

Our caravan is now eating Panlong's food, so we don't have any food or fodder to lend you!

King of Dongshan: Weidong, please wake up soon. I am almost crying because of your men’s stupidity.

Ye Qingfeng belatedly asked, "Do you want me to help you borrow it from Shopkeeper Shang?"

King Dongshan glanced at him and said, "What else?" You finally figured it out.

Ye Qingfeng's face was wrinkled in embarrassment.

"To be honest, I'm not familiar with Shopkeeper Shang, but Shopkeeper Weidong probably has some friendship with him."

What he meant was that I am insignificant and my words have little influence, so I am afraid I cannot borrow it!

King Dongshan did not expect him to get things done directly.

"Please tell him that I want to borrow ten days' worth of food for the army. I will return it as soon as the food arrives in ten days."

Ye Qingfeng: Just to pass on a message? Then why don't you go?

King Dongshan could only explain:

“When borrowing things, someone needs to pass the message between the two sides, so that there will be no embarrassment on either side whether the item is lent or not.

Of course if I use my status to pressure someone, he will have to lend me the money even if he doesn’t want to!

I don’t want to do this!

After all, I have a close relationship with you, and you have a good relationship with them, so you should always give me some face!"

Do you understand the ways of the world?!

Ye Qingfeng thought: It's okay, he is a prince, if he asks directly, Manager Shang will have to give it to him whether he is willing or not. Now he just wants to borrow grain, he really wants to give face.

In this case, Ye Qingfeng no longer refused and went to the office building to explain the situation to Manager Shang.

Shopkeeper Shang just came back from his boss's place, and his boss has already said:

"Since the soldiers are here, of course the task of suppressing the bandits will be handed over to them. We just need to do our own work and provide as much help as possible in the rear.

We pay the money and they work hard, we eliminate foreign enemies and they earn military merits, everyone gets what they need and each other is relieved, the government and the people are like one family! ”

So he readily agreed and immediately arranged for the security team to escort the vehicle over.

Before General Fan and his men had even set up their tents, food and fodder had already been delivered to them.

General Fan was full of praise for King Dongshan. The prince's face is still very useful!

When King Dongshan heard Mu Feng's report on this matter, he was also amazed. This time, Manager Shang actually got the job done so quickly and beautifully!

The sun is rising from the west.

However, seeing that they are so sensible, I have to turn a blind eye to it.

After all, those captives were building the wall of Panlong Mountain right under their noses!

King Dongshan entered the bedroom and observed Weidong's ruddy face for a while. He was distressed that Weidong had not woken up yet.

I was just thinking about asking those two doctors to come and take another look at him?

Zhou Zhen came to visit with Jiang Huai, the private army general he had captured before. Seeing that Jiang Huai was tied up tightly, Mu Feng did not stop his master from approaching.

Zhou Zhen: "Sir! This is the leader of the thieves, who we caught by chance. Since the soldiers are here, Manager Shang asked me to hand him over to you for disposal."

Because he did not know the specific identity of King Dongshan, he could only call him "Sir".

King Dongshan: "Haha, your shopkeeper is really quick to let go. Okay! Since you guys delivered the food and fodder on time, I'll take over this hot potato for him."

Zhou Zhen didn't say much, just bowed his head and took his leave.

He didn't know what to say to the officials, so since the handover had already been completed, he quickly said goodbye.

Looking at his back as he walked very skillfully.

Mu Feng felt that his own prince might be somewhat unwelcome here.

Of course, he just thought about this in his mind but didn't dare say it out loud to get himself into trouble.

King Dongshan glanced at Jiang Huai and sneered.

He said calmly: "Your Jiang family is a family of military commanders after all. Can you fall to this level just because of a momentary setback?"

Jiang Huai didn't know King Dongshan, but seeing that he spoke bluntly and could even point out his family's background, he didn't dare to look down on him.

He lowered his head and did not argue.

King Dongshan: "Jiang Huai, who are you working for? Who are you training the troops for?"

Jianghuai:......

King Dongshan: "Haha, what promise did the great prince give you that would make you work for him wholeheartedly?"

Jiang Huai looked up suddenly. This person actually knew?

Prince Dongshan: "Jiang Huai, you don't think the court knows nothing, do you? It's true that the prince is a member of the royal family, but after all, he is not the emperor, and his words cannot be final.

What's more, keeping private soldiers is a capital crime, and you can't bear it for him.

No matter what promises he made to you, they are now empty. Why don't you say it?"

Jiang Huai looked up at the person in front of him:

He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a gilded waist belt with a cloud pattern, his black hair was tied up, and he wore a white jade and silver crown on his head. He looked handsome, noble and arrogant.

He has been in the circle of nobles since he was a child. Such a person who is superior in nature is more imposing than the prince. I am afraid his identity is not simple.

But since the other person had no intention of revealing his identity, he knew better than to ask. Since he was a prisoner now, what right did he have to ask?

But it's just self-humiliation.

Jiang Huai said in a hoarse voice:

"My Lord, it's not that I want to do anything for the prince, but he is threatening my grandmother and mother's lives, so I dare not disobey him."
