Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

The city where Nie Qianfan was stationed was called Qingtang City. The city was surrounded by walls and was the only way from Cheng State to Qi State. It was a transportation fortress.

Nie Qianfan chose this place as soon as he arrived and blocked Qin Qianze's army very well.

Moreover, because of the convenient transportation here, more people and refugees come here for refuge.

Nie Qianfan welcomes all the citizens of Chengguo. Now the city is almost overcrowded, so Nie Qianfan directly leads his troops to garrison in the suburbs and let the people live in the city which is sheltered from wind and snow.

When Gu Suinan and Chao Yan arrived in Qingtang, the sky was clear and many refugees saw them.

But when the team took a break and Nie Qianfan sent soldiers to move the relief food, he discovered a problem.

Among dozens of carts of grain, only the first three carts contained real rice and flour, and the rest were just sand and gravel covered with a thin layer of rice.

It was obvious that Gu Xu not only tricked them, but also did it in a very ruthless way.

They had traveled all the way by boat and transport, and all they brought back was sand and gravel!

That day, many people saw the serious and old-fashioned old general standing in front of the carriage and cursing for a long time.

If Gu Sui Nuan hadn't pulled him back, he would have pointed at Chao Yan's nose and scolded him as well.

There were so many people to collect the relief food, but they had to find that black-hearted Gu Xu. Moreover, when delivering the food, he didn't send anyone to check each truckload carefully. Now Nie Qianfan doesn't have enough food stored, and with only a few truckloads, they will all starve to death here.

Gu Sui Nuan hesitated for a while and suggested, "The people are important, but as for the soldiers, it's okay if they go hungry for a few meals."

This sentence almost made Nie Qianfan faint on the spot.

"Is this the time to be merciful? If they are hungry and Qin Qianze attacks, who will charge into battle?"

Nie Qianfan didn't understand. Wasn't Gu Sui Nuan always very smart? Didn't Chao Yan never trust outsiders? What happened to these two guys now? Why did they both become less intelligent?

"If you can't help, go into the city and stay there. We can't waste the food like we did before."

Nie Qianfan asked the soldiers to move all the food into the granary in the city.

Gu Sui Nuan looked around at the refugees in tattered clothes shivering in the cold wind and wanted to say something.

"Don't worry about this!" Nie Qianfan was determined. He asked someone to take Gu Sui Nuan to the city, and then looked at Chao Yan.

"Your Highness, this is such a big thing, shouldn't you come forward and give the people an explanation?"

Chao Yan looked at Gu Sui Nuan who was being protected and taken away, and sure enough, Nie Qianfan was still the same Nie Qianfan.

Chao Yan, who had just arrived in Qingtang City, was dragged by Nie Qianfan to meet the Chengguo army and the people in the city, and then apologized to them one by one.

"Tomorrow, there will be no rice porridge provided as relief in the city."

Under Nie Qianfan's pressure, Chao Yan told everyone.

On the other side, the tired Gu Sui Nuan was brought to a quiet and elegant mansion. This mansion should be the best courtyard in Qingtang City.

Nie Qianfan prepared maids for Gu Sui Nuan. As soon as Gu Sui Nuan arrived, they took Gu Sui Nuan to the indoor hot spring in the mansion and prepared fur coats for her to keep her warmer.

After Gu Sui Nuan finished washing and put on his fur coat, hot meals were placed on the table. There were meat and vegetables. Their treatment was much better than that of the common people who could only survive on a bowl of rice porridge a day.

Sure enough, Nie Qianfan's loyalty to duty is a completely different matter when it comes to Gu Sui Nuan.

Gu Suinuan always felt guilty eating alone, so she turned her head to ask the maid Nie Qianfan when they would be back, but the maid spoke first.

"Miss, the old general said that these are all prepared for you. If you can't finish them, you can share them with the servants in the courtyard. There is no... no portion for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"?"

A question mark popped up in Gu Suinuan's mind.

What kind of image does she have in Nie Qianfan's eyes? Why did she ask her maid to remind Gu Sui Nuan in advance not to feed Chao Yan?

"Will my grandpa come back for dinner?" Gu Sui Nuan wanted to wait for Nie Qianfan.

"Miss, the old general lives and sleeps with the soldiers and will not come here to eat."

So this small kitchen is really just for Gu Sui Nuan?

Seeing that Gu Sui Nuan had not started eating for a long time, the maid advised Gu Sui Nuan to eat a little and then have a good rest. She didn't need to worry about what was happening outside because Nie Qianfan would take care of it.

In the end, Gu Sui Nuan did not refuse the kindness, but she did not eat much and asked the maid to share the rest with the servants.

The maid sent by Nie Qianfan was still guarding Gu Sui Nuan, and kept persuading her to take a good rest after the long journey and not to worry about things outside.

Even though Gu Sui Nuan didn't go out to cause trouble, trouble still found Gu Sui Nuan.

On the first day when the porridge distribution was stopped in the city, when Gu Suinuan was on his way back to the house, a dirty little boy came in from somewhere. He sat in the snow, crying miserably.

Before the maid could send someone to deal with it, Gu Sui Nuan rushed out and came to the little boy.

"Don't cry, don't cry, tell your sister what happened?"

Gu Sui Nuan quickly put his fur coat on the boy and reached out to pull him up.

Seeing someone coming, the boy, with tears in his eyes, timidly looked up at Gu Sui Nuan. He was stunned for a moment, and as Gu Sui Nuan was looking at him, he wanted to rush over and hug Gu Sui Nuan's thighs.

The maid beside Gu Sui Nuan raised her foot to stop the boy's movements and pulled him up smoothly.

"Miss, this child suddenly appeared in the yard, there is something strange..." The maid pulled the boy and kept a certain distance from Gu Sui Nuan, as if she was afraid that the child would bump into Gu Sui Nuan.

"Beautiful sister, I didn't mean to barge in... I was just too hungry, and I couldn't help but barge in when I smelled the delicious food... Can you give me a bite to eat? My sister is almost starving to death."

The little boy explained hurriedly that he couldn't touch Gu Sui Nuan, so he could only shiver in the cold wind and shed tears.

Gu Sui Nuan had indeed just finished his meal, but it was ridiculous that he could smell the fragrance of food in such a strong wind and snow.

Gu Sui Nuan frowned, looking like she really couldn't bear it: "Go get the food."

Gu Sui Nuan followed the little boy to where he lived, which was a temporary shed built in Qingtang City. It was crowded with refugees, all of whom looked hungry and had starved.

The little boy took Gu Sui Nuan all the way to the corner and came to a skinny girl.

She looked like she was dying. She had a high fever and couldn't recognize people. She grabbed Gu Sui Nuan's clothes in a daze, calling for her mother.

"Sister, you have to hold on...Brother is back with food!"

The little boy wanted to rush over and stuff the cake in his hand into the girl, but was picked up by the maid again.

But this time, it was Gu Sui Nuan who gave the order.

Gu Sui Nuan picked up the little girl directly, stuffed the life-saving pill into her mouth, and then hurried back to the mansion with the maid.

The boy was stunned again, and after he came to his senses, he chased after him and asked what Gu Sui Nuan wanted to do.

"To save your sister, of course, and to prevent a similar situation from happening again."

That afternoon, when Nie Qianfan and Chao Yan went out to observe the terrain and study tactics, Gu Sui Nuan ignored the maid's attempt to stop her and secretly cooked all the rice in the granary into rice porridge.

She called the refugees over and distributed the rice porridge to them, and even allowed them to take the rice porridge back to feed other family members, or tell their families to come here to get the rice porridge.

In just one afternoon, the already scarce rice was almost cooked by Gu Suinuan and distributed to the refugees pouring into the city.
