Chapter 194 Stealing Grain
"Well, I was planning to go to Persia, but I have some personal matters to attend to in the Arab world, so I might be delayed for a few days."
"That's okay. Wherever your highness is going, we can go together. I'm not in a hurry."
Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You don't have to come together, but if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Ning Quan heard this and looked at Zhao Yudao with a smile.
Zhao Yu definitely didn't invite him here to chat, he must have some purpose.
"I……"
Zhao Yu blushed instantly when Ning Quan revealed her true feelings.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I asked you to come here because I do have something I would like to ask for your help."
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it."
"It's just to transport food. Persia has a lot of food, but Persia is too unsafe. There are robbers everywhere."
"It's easy on the way there, but on the way back, with so much food, if we don't have enough armed guards, it's impossible to transport the food back."
"So I would like to ask Your Highness for help. Can you help me transport the food back? As long as it is transported to the Arab Empire, it will be fine."
Zhao Yu said pleadingly.
"Oh, so that's what happened."
"But you didn't bring any guards with you when you came out? I noticed you had quite a few guards in your house."
Ning Quan asked.
"Of course I did, but I only brought about 300 people. When I set out, I didn't expect the situation in Persia to be so dire."
Zhao Yu pouted.
"But I don't have many guards, only about a hundred or so. What use can they have?"
"But since you've asked, I can't refuse. We can go together on the return journey."
"But I can only do my best. If it really comes to a life-or-death situation, I can only protect myself."
Ning Quan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
The reason why he agreed to help was certainly not because Zhao Yu was the daughter of the King of Zhendong, or for any other reason, but for the people of Hedong.
"Really, Your Highness agreed?"
"Excellent, thank you, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was immediately delighted.
She didn't expect Ning Quan to agree so readily.
"You're welcome. You're doing this for the people of Hedong."
"Have you contacted the convoy? How are we going to transport the food back?"
Ning Quan continued to ask.
"Of course I have. I have contacted several carriage and horse companies in the Arab world and they will be responsible for the transportation."
Zhao Yu said with a smile.
"Ah That's good."
"Then you should go to Persia to do the shopping first. I will meet you there after I finish my business."
Ning Quan nodded.
"Well, then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, I have prepared some wine. I hope Your Highness will do me the honor."
Then, Zhao Yu said happily.
"Well, I won't be polite."
Ning Quan smiled and nodded, then followed Zhao Yu towards the back hall.
In the back hall, the table was already filled with dishes, and the aroma was fragrant.
The two sat down and chatted while eating.
Ning Quan quickly got a lot of information from Zhao Yu.
For example, the customs and culture of the Arab Empire, where there is abundant food in Persia, etc.
Ning Quan was not interested in the customs and culture of the Arab world, but he was very concerned about food. His purpose of coming here was to get food.
"You mean the Persian capital has the most food?"
When Ning Quan heard that there was a very large grain market in the capital of Persia, he immediately became interested.
"Yes, it's a huge grain market. Most of the grain in the entire Persian region is traded there."
Zhao Yu said seriously.
"Oh, no wonder you're going to Persia."
"Well then, I wish you immediate success."
"I have had enough food and wine, and it is time for me to leave. Thank you for your hospitality."
Ning Quan stood up and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll take you there, Your Highness."
Zhao Yu quickly stood up and personally escorted Ning Quan to the door.
"call!"
"Finally done."
Watching Ning Quan and his group leave, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, has His Highness agreed?"
The butler came over and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, now we are safe."
Zhao Yu nodded happily.
"That's great! The people of Hedong will be saved."
The butler also smiled.
"Yes, I hope we can transport the food back smoothly."
"Huh, really."
"You told me you only brought a hundred guards. How is that possible?"
"He must have guards in the dark, and he's trying to trick me."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yu pouted.
……
The next morning, Zhao Yu set off for Persia.
Ning Quan stayed in Lagman for another two days before setting off for Faryab on the third day.
It is a long way to the city of Faryab, and it takes seven days to walk there.
However, the journey was relatively flat, and Ning Quan arrived safely in Faryab City after seven days.
Faryab City is equally prosperous.
The city is full of shops and the hustle and bustle of traffic is overwhelming.
However, Ning Quan didn't care about these things. After settling down, he immediately sent people to investigate the specific location of the granary.
This is simple. As the largest granary in the Arab world, any Faryab person knows where it is.
Jia Xu only spent a few pieces of silver to get the specific location of the granary.
The granary is located at the foot of a mountain thirty miles west of the city.
Ning Quan planned to take action that night, obtain food and supplies, and then immediately head to Persia.
In the evening, Ning Quan took Xiang Yu and others out of the city.
As night falls, the moon hides behind the clouds and the surroundings become dim.
An hour later, Ning Quan arrived near the granary.
This granary is the largest granary in the Arab Empire and belongs to His Majesty the Arab Emperor. It stores more than two million dan of grain.
Because it was a royal granary, the granary was guarded by soldiers.
However, there were not many soldiers, only a few hundred in total, and the guarding was extremely lax.
Of course this is normal. After all, who would dare to openly hijack the royal granary?
"You stay here to support me, I will go there myself."
After observing for a while, Ning Quan gave instructions to Xiang Yu and others.
"Your Highness, you cannot go alone."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Don't worry, I don't need to enter the granary. I can just take a walk outside and it will be done."
Ning Quan waved his hand.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu and others knew that they could not stop it, so they had to give up.
Afterwards, Ning Quan quietly moved towards the granary alone.
It was completely dark and there was no one around.
Ning Quan walked forward quietly and soon arrived near the granary.
The granary was surrounded by fences, and across the fences were dozens of granaries of varying sizes, each filled with grain.
Ning Quan Space's telekinesis range is 500 meters. Basically, the outer granaries can be reached, but the inner granaries cannot be touched.
Without hesitation, Ning Quan started collecting immediately.
Ning Quan walked around the periphery, collecting money all the way.
In an instant, the grain from the granaries was stored in the space.
Ning Quan didn't dare to stop, because once he interrupted, it would count as one use.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the granaries outside and in the middle of the granary were cleared out, leaving only a few granaries inside.
Of course Ning Quan would not take the risk to go inside, he just needed to take care of the outer granary.
Besides, we have to open the space again, which is not worth it.
