Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

When General Chen finally found Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue, he could not hide his excitement and spoke impatiently: "My Lord, Princess! Come and see, our granary is now full and about to overflow! There are mountains of food!"

Originally, General Chen was expecting the prince and the county lady to be like him, showing a look of astonishment at first, and then turning into ecstasy. However, the scene before him was completely beyond his expectations - he saw the prince and the county lady sitting steadily in their original places, staring at him calmly with a smile on their faces, as if everything was expected.

At this moment, two things suddenly flashed through General Chen's mind. One was that two days ago, the prince and the county lady had performed magic in the granary and turned into piles of grain; the other was that at midnight last night, there was an unusual commotion in the Beiliang army camp, and this morning the camp was moved back more than 20 miles. When he reported such situations to the prince, the prince and the county lady always acted as if they had known about it and were confident.

Instantly, a flash of inspiration flashed through General Chen's mind. He suddenly realized something and couldn't help but slap his forehead hard. He exclaimed in disbelief: "My Lord, Princess, could it be that... those grains and grass belong to the Northern Liang army!"

"Yes." Xuan Moyin replied calmly.

"But...how did they get so much food and supplies? Why is there no movement at all?" asked General Chen.

"Sorry, General Chen, this is a secret." Su Luoxue said.

"Yes, yes." General Chen hurriedly said when he heard Su Luoxue say this.

"So, General Chen, the Beiliang army will not be able to solve the problem of food and fodder for the time being. This gives us time to properly resettle the people in the city. We should first set up a place to distribute food. All people can receive 10 liters of millet, 5 liters of noodles, and one pound of dried meat per person." Su Luoxue said to General Chen again.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it right away." General Chen was also very happy. He himself was born in a poor family and joined the army and fought in battles, and finally got to his current position.

But he did not forget his roots. As long as he was in his team, he would never take a single penny or thread from the people. Moreover, sometimes, if the people encountered difficulties, his people must lend a hand if they could.

In fact, Xuan Moyin had already told Su Luoxue a long time ago about what kind of person General Chen was. Therefore, Su Luoxue had always admired General Chen very much in her heart.

Just as General Chen stepped out of the door, An Yi came in with a small bamboo tube in his hand.

"Your Highness, this is the message Prince Ning sent via carrier pigeon." An Yi said expressionlessly, and handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Xuan Moyin.

Xuan Moyin took the bamboo tube, opened the lid, and poured out the small paper tube inside. He unfolded the note and looked at the contents on it, but the more he read, the uglier his expression became.

"What happened?" Seeing Xuan Moyin's strange expression, Su Luoxue beside him asked hurriedly.

"Xuan Haochen and General Song are expected to arrive here in three days, but..." Xuan Moyin hesitated to speak, and at the end he pounded the table in anger.

Su Luoxue pondered in her heart, and from Xuan Moyin's words, she realized that the matter was serious. She looked at him with eyes full of doubt and worry.

"I really didn't expect it! Xuan Haotian is even more cruel than his father!" Xuan Moyin roared indignantly, his voice revealing uncontrollable anger.

An, who was standing by, felt nervous when he saw the prince so angry. He looked at his prince nervously and concernedly, fearing that the prince would get sick from anger.

"Due to the urgency of the situation, when General Song led the army to the expedition, Xuan Haotian vowed to follow up with food and fodder. However, he has now gone back on his word, using the excuse that the disasters this winter have made it difficult to raise food and fodder, and asked General Song and Xuan Haochen and others to find a way to solve the food problem on their own. Currently, there is only a small amount of rations left in their army that they carried with them on the march, and there is no surplus food available." Xuan Moyin became more and more excited as he spoke, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Su Luoxue and An Yi were both shocked when they heard this. It was hard for them to understand what Xuan Haotian was thinking behind his actions. This behavior was tantamount to disregarding the lives of 200,000 soldiers!

"What is the emperor going to do?" An Yi couldn't help but ask from the side.

"Yes! What does the emperor mean by this? Isn't this going to ignore 200,000 soldiers? They are going to the expedition to resist the army of Beiliang Kingdom. Does the emperor want them to fall before they even go to the battlefield?" Su Luoxue didn't quite understand why Xuan Haotian did this.

Although they currently had more than enough food and grass in reserve, this was completely different from Xuan Haotian's deliberate withholding of food and grass. Su Luoxue knew that the stakes were high and her mood became heavier.

"I'm afraid things are not that simple." Xuan Moyin thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Xuan Haotian has taken that position and wants to get rid of me immediately."

"What do you mean? What does this have to do with you?" Su Luoxue asked.

“I am the commander-in-chief of the army. If the army is defeated without a fight and the army of Beiliang takes advantage of the situation, he can use the fact that I failed to guard the border properly, resulting in the sacrifice of many soldiers, as an excuse to unite with the ministers who support him, jointly impeach me, remove my title of regent, and ultimately sideline me.” Xuan Moyin said.

Su Luoxue finally understood what Xuan Haotian wanted to do after hearing what he said. It was too despicable!

But at this time, she could only appease Xuan Moyin: "Keep this account with him first. Aren't General Song and his men going to arrive in three days? When they arrive, we will discuss together how to deal with Beiliang Kingdom! As for that little bastard Xuan Haotian, we will settle the account with him after we defeat Beiliang Kingdom."

"Okay." Xuan Moyin nodded. A person who only cares about himself and ignores the lives of his soldiers is really not worthy of sitting in that position.

"Let's go around the city and see how General Chen is doing." Su Luoxue suggested, knowing that Xuan Moyin was in a bad mood. Besides, she had been in Qingdu City for three or four days and had never been to the streets to take a look.

When Xuan Moyin heard her say this, he naturally knew what she was thinking. He nodded in agreement, and naturally took her little hand and walked outside.

When An Yi saw the prince taking the county lady out, he naturally had to follow. Mei Xiang, who was busy outside, saw her own lady going out, so she also had to follow and serve her.

Just like this, Xuan Moyin held Su Luoxue's hand and walked in front, while An Yi and Mei Xiang followed behind, and the four of them walked towards the street. However, the two people in front held hands, while the ones behind had to walk on their own.
