Chapter 256: Using Mules to Transport Food

After hearing Lu Jintang's arrangement, Lu Da did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately activated the deep internal strength in his body, displayed superb lightness skills, and rushed towards Qianhuang Mountain like a flash of lightning.

He knew that this arrangement required him to quickly pass on the news to his brothers at home so they could prepare for today's meal. After all, everyone would definitely be eating here at noon, and if they didn't prepare everything in advance, they would be in a rush.

Meanwhile, Lu Dashan wasn't idle either. He turned and shouted to Liang Mancang, who had followed him, "Mancang, hurry back to camp and arrange for everyone to rush to this valley in the afternoon to transport the food."

Upon hearing this, Liang Mancang hurried forward, clasped his fists, and replied, "Yes, Commander! But... I wonder how many brothers I should arrange to come this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dashan frowned slightly, thinking to himself: How could Liang Mancang be so clueless? How could he ask such a question so bluntly? Couldn't he have thought it through first? What a fool!

Just when Lu Dashan was feeling a bit embarrassed, Lu Jintang beside him smiled and said, "No problem, let's get the brothers from the two battalions to help! Then, with a few strong mules, we should be able to successfully complete the task of transporting this batch of grain."

However, Liang Mancang still didn't seem to fully grasp the situation, and without hesitation asked, "Master, you're actually going to mobilize two battalions? Doesn't that mean the amount of food you're transporting is enormous?"

Facing Liang Mancang's questioning, Lu Jintang calmly explained, "It's not that much, actually. This amount of food will only be enough for you to eat for a few days. As for the subsequent food and fodder you'll need, I'll arrange for the brothers in Kaoshan County to purchase it and have it delivered to you promptly."

The few people who had come with him looked at each other in astonishment, clearly shaken by the huge commotion before their eyes. They couldn't help but whisper to each other, marveling at the power of this young master.

After the manpower was arranged, these people slowly headed towards Qianhuang Mountain along the route that they had just deemed suitable for road construction.

Zhu Dazhi and Fan Wei were seen walking side by side, each holding a pen and a piece of paper in their hands. They stopped from time to time while walking, carefully observing the surrounding terrain and recording it in detail.

In this way, the group walked and stopped, and it took them nearly an hour to finally reach the territory of Qianhuang Mountain.

When Lu Dashan saw the current state of Qianhuang Mountain up close, he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Oh my, Master, you are truly amazing! Look at Qianhuang Mountain! In less than a year, you've transformed it into this state! It's simply unbelievable!"

Hearing this, Lu Jintang smiled slightly, waved his hand gently and said, "Haha, this is not just my credit! In fact, there are still many of your old acquaintances here. It's a pity that most of them returned home to recuperate due to injuries, but fortunately I found them all back. Now, many people stay here to help me. Moreover, in October of this year, some people will bring their relatives to help. So, brothers over there, if anyone in your family can come, you can go back and make arrangements and bring your family members with you. After all, we have too much to do here, and we are in urgent need of a lot of manpower support!"

After hearing this, Zhu Dazhi and Fan Wei exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with surprise and excitement. They instantly grasped the meaning of their master's words—they could actually have the chance to return home and visit their families! This was undoubtedly fantastic news for everyone who had been away from home for so long and missed their loved ones.

At this moment, another person who came with them, Wu Dayong, could not hide his joy and shouted excitedly: "Oh my, this is great! I can finally go back to see my old mother! I haven't seen her for such a long time, I really don't know how her health is..." As he spoke, his face was filled with a happy smile.

However, before he could finish his words, he heard a stern scolding: "Wu Dayong, what nonsense are you talking about? When did we not allow you to go back to visit your family?" It turned out that Lu Dashan scolded Wu Dayong in dissatisfaction after hearing what he said.

After being scolded by Lu Dashan, Wu Dayong immediately withered like an eggplant hit by frost. He quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "Commander-in-Chief, I was too quick to say the wrong thing. Please forgive me for my indifference! What I want to say is that this time I can finally go back to visit my mother with a clear conscience. Although I wanted to go back before, I was always worried that I would be hunted down and my whereabouts would be exposed..." At this point, Wu Dayong scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's true that Wu Dayong is not to blame for this. Everyone should speed up. It's almost noon now. It's important for everyone to have lunch first! After lunch, I will lead you to meet my grandfather and father. It's a pity that Uncle Qin couldn't come with you this time. Otherwise, my grandfather would be very happy." Lu Jintang said with a smile.

"Young master, we are thinking of whether we can go and pay our respects to the old general and the general first, and then have dinner? This way we won't keep the two masters waiting for a long time." Zhu Dazhi asked respectfully.

"Yes, young master, we arrived a little late this time, so how can we have the mind to eat first!" Fan Wei immediately echoed.

Lu Dashan scratched his head and stammered, "Master, if it's convenient now, let's meet the two generals first. If it's not convenient, then let's wait and don't listen to them."

Lu Jintang laughed and said, "Let's go to grandpa and father. You guys talk first! I'll have someone bring the food over. You guys can eat together!" After saying that, he looked at Lu Da and nodded.

Lu Da nodded in understanding and turned to walk towards the kitchen. He was going to arrange for someone to deliver the food to the old general's yard.

Yang Mingxi, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly took a few steps to stop Lu Dadao. "Lu Da, you guys have a lot of things to do here, so there shouldn't be anything for me to do. I'm going home now. Talk to Lu Jintang."

Lu Da thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yang, please wait a moment. I'll make some arrangements and send you back. Is that okay?"

"No need, I can do it myself. You go and do your thing!" Yang Mingxi said and walked towards her home.

Lu Jintang walked out a few steps and glanced at Yang Mingxi who hadn't caught up with him. He smiled and said to Lu Dashan, "Wait a moment. I'll have Lu Dashan take you to see my grandfather and father. I have some things to arrange here."

Lu Da heard Lu Jintang's voice from a distance, glanced at Yang Mingxi, quickly arranged things, and took Lu Dashan and the others to meet the old general and the general.
