Chapter 27 The Marquis Wants to Buy Mineral Water
Kurban sat on his horse with a smug look on his face and said to his men, "Give orders. After we enter the city, I will give you one day to empty the city. All the men will be branded with marks on their faces and made into military slaves. The women and children will be killed when they are done with them."
As for the Sheng Family Army..."
Kurban licked his lower lip and said with a wicked smile: "Strip them naked, put them in shackles, and parade them in public."
Wasn't Sheng Huaigui a man of steel? Wasn't he unwilling to surrender?
He couldn't wait to see the expression of humiliation on Sheng Jiajun's face.
"Hahahahaha."
Thinking of this, Kurban burst into laughter.
Suddenly, an explosion was heard out of nowhere.
"Boom~"
"Pah~pah!"
Everyone was shocked.
Kurban was even more furious and started to yell: "Who set off the fireworks without my order?!"
Explosions sounded one after another from behind.
The military advisor beside him suddenly changed his expression and carefully reminded Kurban: "Marshal, that seems to be the direction of our military camp!"
Kurban: “What?!”
Before he could fully react to what was happening, a flaming arrow flew straight towards him.
If Kurban had not subconsciously tilted his head when he turned around, the sharp arrow would have hit him between the eyebrows.
The sharp arrow flew past his ear and then exploded behind him.
Only then did Kurban realize that there were countless soldiers on the city wall pointing their bows and arrows at him.
And the leader was Sheng Huaigui!
He stood tall and straight, and didn't look like he had just been seriously injured.
"Sheng Huaigui is not dead?!"
Sheng Huaigui on the city wall looked at Kurban's panicked figure and calmly gave the order: "Shoot!"
Arrows rained down like a torrential rain. Kurban had no time to think and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Then he fled.
······
As Sheng Huaigui walked down from the city wall, he saw Suo Xiuming walking towards him with a bowl of medicine.
Suo Xiuming: "Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, please take it as soon as possible, my lord."
Sheng Huaigui picked up the bowl and drank it all.
If it weren't for the antibiotics and herbs sent by Miss Jiang, he would definitely not have recovered so much in just two days.
The soldiers had just finished dealing with the bodies outside the city when Lieutenant General Shen led his men quickly into the city gate.
"My Lord, the North Camp is indeed where Kurban stored his food and fodder. It has now been completely burned down."
Sheng Huaigui patted Deputy General Shen's shoulder in appreciation, but he did not show much joy.
Yancheng is very close to Xiling, and Kurban’s reinforcements will arrive soon.
And he has been fighting alone for more than half a year.
Neither reinforcements nor food supplies arrived. This would have been impossible if nothing unexpected had happened in the court.
······
Kurban returned to the South Camp in a panic. Before he could even sit down on a chair, he heard another piece of bad news.
"Marshal, all the food and grass in the North Camp has been burned!"
"what?!"
Kurban realized belatedly that the noises he heard earlier were caused by his own food supplies being blown up? ! !
Fifty percent of the army’s food and fodder are stored in the North Camp!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Kurban fell directly on his chair.
He really underestimated Sheng Huaigui!
At this time, someone else came to report: "Report! Marshal! I heard that the reinforcements are only fifty miles away from our camp."
"it is good!"
Kurban immediately jumped up from his chair.
Once the 50,000 reinforcements arrive, even if Sheng Huaigui has all the power, he will not be able to escape from his clutches!
However, before that, he had to make Sheng Huaigui suffer a little.
"Come here! Pass on my order! Immediately send troops to guard all water sources within fifty miles outside Yancheng!"
Sheng Huaigui had previously risked his life to go out of the city to fetch water. Now, he wanted to see what else the dignified Marquis Anding could do!
······
After waking up in the morning, Jiang Qingli took out the box of silver ingots and the "List of Medicinal Materials" written by Suo Xiuming and stuffed them into her backpack.
She planned to go to the antique shop and pawn these two items now.
Before Jiang Qingli walked out of the supermarket with her backpack on her back, her cell phone rang.
It was Sheng Huaigui who called.
Jiang Qingli put down her backpack and answered the video call: "My Lord."
Seeing such a handsome face again, Jiang Qingli still blushed and her heart beat fast in a shameless way.
In order to maintain her composure, Jiang Qingli could only look away and force herself not to look at Sheng Huaigui.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
"Miss Jiang, today our army successfully burned the food and grass in the Xiling military camp. Sheng wants to improve the food for the soldiers. I want to buy some meat from you."
Jiang Qingli: "No problem! What kind of meat do you want, Lord? How much do you need?"
Sheng Huaigui: "I need enough for 10,000 people, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are all fine. There is one more thing, the girl gave me some mineral water a few days ago, I want to buy some more."
······
His men have sent back news that Kurban has taken control of all water sources around Yancheng.
The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.
The number of people on both sides is too different, so Sheng Huaigui can only buy water from Jiang Qingli as an emergency measure.
"What a coincidence, sir!"
Jiang Qingli in the video suddenly slammed the table and said, "A large batch of mineral water will be delivered tonight, and I will deliver it directly to you then."
Sheng Huaigui was originally calculating in his mind how many days the water in the city could last. Now that he had Jiang Qingli's assurance, he felt a lot more relieved.
"Miss Jiang, I am grateful for your kindness. For this transaction, I will pay you five hundred taels..."
Yancheng is already dry and water-scarce, with little rain all year round, and water is as precious as oil.
This water is a life saver.
Sheng Huaigui was so excited that he wanted to say "five hundred taels of gold" on the spot.
But Jiang Qingli's eyes suddenly widened in the video and he stopped. The word "gold" turned into "silver" in his mouth.
"Five hundred taels of silver, what do you think, young lady?"
After saying this, Sheng Huaigui still felt very insecure.
He only paid one thousand and two taels of silver to his savior. If word of this matter reached the capital, people would definitely think that he, the dignified Marquis of Anding, had fallen into poverty and fallen to this state.
"No problem, sir. It won't be too late to give me the money after you receive the goods tonight."
······
Five hundred taels of silver, that's twenty-five silver ingots.
Another one million and seven hundred thousand, more than enough to buy mineral water and beef and mutton!
Jiang Qingli walked towards the warehouse with her cell phone. She remembered that there were still a lot of vacuum-packed cooked food in the warehouse, which she could send to Sheng Huaigui first.
"My Lord, I have a lot of prepared food on hand. It's meat that has been cooked and packaged in advance. I'll send it to you first. The rest will arrive in the afternoon at the earliest."
Jiang Qingli was walking past the gate when suddenly something flew past her feet.
She didn't pay attention and fell forward.
"what!"
