Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After everyone sat down, Han Shaoqing handed the letter from General Zhu Jingtang to Biyue and said to her, "The letter was delivered by carrier pigeon. It would be slower if soldiers were sent to deliver the letter."

Bi Yue unfolded the letter and saw that the content was roughly about the soldiers being at war with the enemy these days. They had been fighting for three or four days and more than half of the food and grass had been burned, which was really adding insult to injury and would be unfavorable to the entire battle situation.

"Let me ask, has the pigeon flown back?" Biyue wanted to meet the pilot.

"After delivering the letter, it rested for a while, fed it some food, wrote a sentence and tied it to its leg, then flew back." Han Chengyuan replied.

Bi Yue felt a little regretful, but forget it, let's get down to business first, and said to the generals, "Are you going to send some food and grass to them? Shangyou City is about a few days away from General Zhu. If we are escorting food and grass, how many days will it take to arrive at the fastest?"

"I know that if we ride a fast horse, it should take four or five days to get there. If we escort food and fodder, it will take at least seven or eight days. After all, the speed of escorting food and fodder is much slower than one person riding a horse. In addition, the road is slippery and difficult to walk on in snowy weather. It will take at least ten days to arrive in the wind and snow." General Lin expressed his thoughts.

"How about this, Uncle Han, I'll take Luo Chen and Second Brother Han with me, the three of us will go to General Zhu's tent to see what the situation is. If it's true that there are only enough food for a few days as the letter says, we can figure out a way to act accordingly. Once we solve his food problem, we will return as soon as possible."

Han Shaoqing asked in a questioning tone, "Biyue, you three are a little too few, right? If there is a real shortage of food, and you don't have a carriage, how are you going to transport the food? The fewer people who know your secret, the better. I know you are a man of ideas. What are your plans next?"

"I will naturally find a way to transport the military rations over there. I haven't thought of it yet. Let's take it one step at a time. Sending three people will be enough. Uncle Han and the generals can rest assured. I will definitely do a great job on this matter."

Biyue knew that the treasure bag could hold some people and there would be no danger to their lives, but he didn't want to reveal his secret too early.

If there is really a food shortage over there, I will buy some food from the system and ask some people to deliver it over there. This is not a good idea either. Why bother to pull people over from here? It's so troublesome!

Bi Yue said to everyone, "I have an idea. The three of us will go over there to find out the situation. If there is indeed a shortage of food, we can recruit some people from the nearby Taolin County and have them transport the food to the military camp. We can just pay some silver to each person who transports the food."

"This is a good idea. Let's act according to this method." All the generals agreed with this method.

Han Shaoqing said to Biyue, "I also think this is a good idea. If it is as the letter says, you can find a solution locally and don't worry too much about other things. I will guard Shangyou City and leave Chen Chen and Xiaomai to help me. We are all very satisfied. You should come back as soon as possible after the work is done. He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and asked the guards beside him to give it to Biyue."

Bi Yue took the banknote and accepted it without hesitation, "Thank you, Uncle Han!"

After saying this, he said goodbye to everyone and took the two brothers out of the meeting room to their residence. When they arrived at their residence, they went to their room, packed a small bag, dressed neatly, and waited in the front hall.

Bi Yue went to the backyard to put the horse and carriage into the treasure bag. After the three of them met in the front hall, Bi Yue said to the two of them, "There is no time to lose. It's almost noon now. Let's go now!"

Bi Yue released a flying carpet from her treasure bag. The three of them stood on it, turned on the protective shield, and the flying carpet flew up.

In this cold winter, if there is no protective cover, the cold air from the sky will blow people into popsicles. The protective cover isolates the north wind outside, and you won’t feel cold at all hiding inside.

It was the first time for Second Brother Han to ride on a flying carpet. He stood on it and flew in the sky like a bird. He was extremely excited and looked around in the sky with excitement. Words could not express his feelings at that moment.

Luo Chen walked over, held his second brother's hand, comforted him, and told him to relax.

Bi Yue took out a double sofa, placed it on the flying carpet, and asked his second brother to sit down, worried that he would always stand. He was obviously excited and scared, and his calves were shaking.

After sitting down, Second Brother Han seemed to feel relieved. He leaned to one side on the sofa and looked around outside, marveling that this flying carpet was so magical. Only the fairyland had such a magic weapon. Ordinary people had never seen it, let alone sit on it. Today he had really broadened his horizons. He was really happy for his younger brother. It must be a blessing from the ancestors of the Han family that he could meet such a powerful woman. He must let his younger brother cherish this little girl.

Bi Yue quietly asked the system, "How long will it take to reach where Zhu Jingtang's army is."

"Host, we set out at noon, so we may not arrive until 23pm. If the flying carpet is faster, we may arrive earlier. Let's go to Taolin County first, which is close to the military camp. We can rest at night so that we can go and gather information tomorrow."

"System, got it, thank you."

There is still so much time left. They have only flown for half an hour. Bi Yue said to Luo Chen, "It will take a long time. It will probably take until midnight to arrive. Let's practice first."

Bi Yue took out ten spirit stones from her bag and handed them to him, and placed fifty stones beside her. Then the two of them began to practice while sitting on the flying carpet.

The second elder brother sat on the sofa and watched the two of them practicing seriously at first. After an incense stick of time, he felt a little bored and tilted his body to look under the flying carpet.

Sometimes he flew over a mountain top, sometimes he saw the mountains, rivers and farmlands below. It was particularly spectacular. This was something new and strange that he had not experienced in more than 20 years. He felt that what was happening was too fantastic, like a dream.

At the middle of the You hour, the sky gradually darkened. Biyue took out an incandescent lamp and hung it on the hook above the protective cover. The space inside the flying carpet suddenly lit up.

Bi Yue gave Han Chengzhang two storybooks to help him pass the time.

After a few more hours, the two finished their training. The navigation showed that they would arrive in two quarters of an hour. From afar, they could see lights flickering in the county town. At this time, most people in the town had gone to bed. The pale yellow lights came from the lanterns hanging on the pillars on both sides of the county streets, illuminating this restless city.

The city gate must be closed. The flying carpet flew into the city and flew to a deserted, secluded place. After landing, the protective shield was closed, the sofa and flying carpet were put into the treasure bag, and the three of them went to find an inn first.
