After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 424 Abandonment
Chen Xiuyan concentrated on cooking meals for the soldiers, and did not get close to anyone, but occasionally looked up at the city gate, looking blatantly, with curiosity in her eyes, which echoed the image of a market woman.

The elder brother of the restaurant who prepared the ingredients and was ordering vegetables was busy while looking at the situation under the city gate, and said, "Master, those officials outside the city have been standing for a whole day, what's the matter? Don't go into the city ?"

"Look at what this big brother said, those officials are all coming in, where do they live?" Before the official could speak, Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile, "The officials who sent their marriages back to Tatar before were also outside the city. Those who camped did not come in either."

The big brother of the restaurant suddenly stared, looked at the soldiers in the city and whispered, "Could it be that these are the officials?"

Chen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled happily, "Oh, it turns out that the soldiers led by King Taiping are sending off soldiers, and they are all of our own."

"But there are too many of them, we can't afford to deliver meals."

Chen Xiuyan's words were approved by the big brother of the restaurant, "Who says it's not, with so many soldiers, my restaurant can only provide a few meals if it's sold, haha."

Chen Xiuyan and the big brother in the restaurant chatted happily. The soldiers at the city gate had no one to talk to, and the two of them became quiet while talking, staring obediently at eating.

"Master Chief Soldier!"

The quiet atmosphere on the city wall was suddenly broken by an exclamation, followed by more soldiers knelt down to greet the Chief Soldier.

"Lord Chief Soldier?" The big brother in the restaurant stared, "I never thought that one day I would be able to see Lord Chief Soldier so close. What a blessing."

The soldiers on the city wall knelt on the ground, and the big brother of the restaurant and Chen Xiuyan also knelt down.

"Who are these two people?" Guan Jinglian didn't expect that there were common people on the city wall, but when he thought of the current situation in the city, his eyes sharpened.

"My lord, these two are the people in the city who voluntarily delivered meals to the soldiers." The general who agreed to this matter immediately replied.

"My lord, I also saw that the officials in the city are busy recently, and I listened to the situation inside and outside the city gate on the street. I thought that our officials have done too much for the stability of Pianguan County, and the little lady also I didn't have anything to repay, so I took the initiative to make food and send it." Chen Xiuyan said in a panic, and glanced at Guan Jinglian, who seemed to be affected by his coercion and lowered her head again.

"Do you have so much food and vegetables in your home?" Guan Jinglian asked lowly.

As expected of the chief soldier, she immediately asked the key points, but Chen Xiuyan had planned for what she would do today.

"The little lady's natal family is outside the city, with a few acres of land, and her brother is a promising man who has won the title of scholar and does not need to pay taxes, so every year after the autumn harvest, he will send things to me, a daughter who married out. "

A hint of pride appeared on Chen Xiuyan's face, "Recently, the purchase of food and vegetables is restricted in the city. Most people can't bring out so many ingredients like me, but I'm very happy to give these to our soldiers defending the state of Chu."

"That's very good. It's a great honor for my restaurant to deliver food to the soldiers." The big brother of the restaurant hurriedly agreed with a little enthusiasm.

The expressions of the two did not seem to be fake, Guan Jinglian didn't have the time to care about such trivial matters for a while, so he stopped talking after asking a few words, but a guard was called over for questioning, mainly to ask what the two said , the guard answered truthfully, Guan Jinglian just chattered homely, interrupted without interest, and dispelled most of the doubts.

Thinking about it, no matter how brave you are, you can still get under your nose, not to mention that you can't do much here.

"King Taiping is not in the team?"

"Subordinates looked at it for a long time, no."

"Aside from begging for King Taiping, what else did these people say?"

"My lord, they didn't ask for King Taiping."

Guan Jinglian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The person who went to the General Military Mansion to report clearly said so, why did he speak differently, "Then what are they doing?"

"They said they were welcoming His Royal Highness King Jin."

"What!" Guan Jinglian was trembling with anger, "Why didn't someone report such an important matter."

"This subordinate sent someone to report it." The general guarding the city looked puzzled.

"Who did you find?"

"My lord, this subordinate didn't look for it. It was delivered by someone from your house, my lord. My subordinate asked him to bring a message by the way."

Guan Jinglian's eyes narrowed for a moment, "The man in the commander's mansion? Who is it?"

After getting along for a few days, Guan Jinglian knew a little about the general who defended the city, if it wasn't someone he was familiar with, it was impossible for him to bring the letter.

"It's my lord's uncle."

What a Wei family!
