Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1238 Famine and Natural Disaster 397

Inside the carriage, Cheng Mingyi turned his gaze to the old man.

Fan Qingzhi held the books he brought and pretended not to see them.

The old man didn't say anything, which meant he acquiesced to her decision. Cheng Mingyi lifted the curtain and looked at Steward Luo outside, "Standard Luo, please keep an eye on the palace and send some delicious food to the military camp from time to time to satisfy the cravings of me and the prince."

The serious expression on the face of Steward Luo, who was standing under the shaft of the carriage, almost broke. In the end, he bowed his head expressionlessly and said, "I remember. Miss Cheng, rest assured, I will deliver it every three to five days."

"Then thank you, Steward Luo." Ming Yi smiled as he looked at the guards who were riding their horses and said to them, "Let's set off."

"Here."

Guard Yu rode his horse to the carriage window, and Butler Luo stepped back. The steward and servants who came with Butler Luo also stepped back to make way for the guards.

"set off!"

At a command from Guard Yu, the convoy started moving. Before leaving, Guard Yu and Guard Li, sitting on their horses, did not forget to bow to Steward Luo.

As the convoy went away, Butler Luo still stood there waving in their direction.

"Butler, let's go back. Miss Cheng and the others have already left." A butler stepped forward to remind.

Steward Luo regained his composure, put down his hand, and sighed, "Go back, take care of the palace, and spread the word that our Fucheng Zhou Palace is buying food, medicinal materials, vegetables, and fruits. We will buy as many as we can."

"Here."

Even Master Fan has gone, so I'm afraid a war is about to break out in the front.

There was nothing they could do in the rear, so they could only do their best with supplies.

Fortunately, he is the one who manages the business in Fucheng and knows the amount of money. He will go to report to the prince after the acquisition. The entire Northwest Army has a total of 200,000 troops, and the amount of food and military pay required is too huge for a small housekeeper like him to guarantee. He can only do his best to collect it.

There are several big merchants of grain and medicinal materials in Fucheng, and they donate some to the Northwest Army every year; after all, it is their intention, but more importantly, they want to seek the protection of the Zhou Palace so that they can travel freely in Fucheng and the entire Northwest.

Merchants were in it for the sake of making money, and the portion they donated was only a small part; at least eight-tenths was kept privately for business, and what he had to do was to buy food and medicinal herbs from them.

The convoy drove out of the city and went further and further away after getting off the main road. When they were near the dense forest that must be passed through to get from Fucheng to the military camp, the guards Yu and Li winked at the guards accompanying them. Everyone had this experience many times, so when they exchanged glances, the two guards understood.

Mingyi lifted the carriage curtain from time to time to look out, and saw that they were about to pass through a dense forest; her starry eyes swept across the surrounding environment, and then she lowered the curtain again.

"Teacher, we are almost there."

"How long will it take?" Fan Qingzhi asked, raising his eyelids and putting the book on his lap.

Mingyi said: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about two quarters of an hour."

"Ah."

Fan Qingzhi went to the window and opened the curtain. There were green trees and the road was damp. "No wonder it feels cooler. It turns out there is a forest outside!"

It will be cooler if there are more trees, as they provide shade!

"It's cool here, but it's still hot in the military camp. There's not much shelter there. There are mountains and forests behind, but the military camp is open." There was no shade, and when the scorching sun came out, it shone directly on the soldiers, without even a buffer of shelter.

"The military camp is an important place, so we should be careful." While talking to his little apprentice, Fan Qingzhi smiled and asked, "I heard that you bought a lot of things yesterday. The teacher also gave one to you. Did you leave one for Chaosheng?"

  Mingyi's smiling eyes froze for a moment. My goodness, the teacher is really nice!

Remind her only when we are almost there.

As soon as he saw her expression, Fan Qingzhi knew the answer, "If Chao Sheng knew, he would be very angry."

"Teacher" Fan Qingzhi was at ease, waiting for the next words, feeling quite gloating.

Mingyi's pretty face twisted for a moment, then she eagerly pleaded, "Please keep it a secret."

"Tsk, you are a girl who only thinks about the beginning and not the end. How come you are going back to the beginning after going out?"

"You can't blame the students, teacher. It's their first time going away from home. They may not be energetic enough, right?"

Fan Qingzhi covered his face and pretended not to know this man.

Mingyi would not give up just like that, she came over with a smile, tugged at his sleeve, pulled down his hand that was covering his face, and continued.

"Teacher, you won't make Chaosheng angry, right?"

"You're really shameless." His sleeves were being pulled and he couldn't lift them up. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Alright, let go quickly. Don't tear my sleeves with your strength."

"Hey, teacher, Chaosheng is good to students; students also remember Chaosheng's kindness, but when you are away from home, it is inevitable that you may not think things through, don't you agree?"

It's okay to be a little thick-skinned, since you're in front of your elders anyway.

Fan Qingzhi slightly pressed down the corners of his mouth. Seeing her trying to please him, he wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back.

"That's enough. I'm scared of you. If you pull it again, my clothes will be unwearable. I'll bring the things you gave to the teacher with me. I can't eat the food you eat." When people get old, they can't digest food well, so they mostly eat soft things.

Mingyi smiled brightly and said affectionately, "Thank you, teacher. Next time I go back to Fucheng, I will buy you some soft food."

"I'll remember that." The corners of his lips curled up, and he was in a good mood.

Mingyi nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I remember it. How could I forget to honor you?"

The master and the disciple chatted and laughed. Everything was normal in the dense forest outside. The convoy passed through the forest and arrived outside the military camp in a quarter of an hour.

The soldiers standing guard outside the camp saw the convoy and took a closer look. They saw familiar guards Yu and Li, as well as the group of people who were going out this time. Although there were some unfamiliar faces, since they were familiar people returning, they thought it must be Master Cheng who had returned.

There were a lot of things in the car, so Mingyi and Fan Qingzhi did not get out.

Guard Yu walked up to the soldiers on guard and negotiated with them, "Young men, the people in the carriage are Master Cheng and the prince's teacher. Can you help them?"

The prince’s teacher?

The soldiers were very curious. The prince's teacher was only known by name but never seen in person. He had never appeared in the military camp. They were soldiers stationed in Fucheng and were also locals of Fucheng. They were not soldiers from the prefectural capital, so they had never seen Fan Qingzhi.

"Since Master Cheng has returned, it is of course possible; however, we will have to conduct a search, please forgive us."

Guard Yu smiled and nodded, "Of course you can."

After saying that, a group of people followed Guard Yu to the front of the motorcade.

Guard Yu went to the first carriage and replied, "Master Fan, Master Cheng, the carriage entering the military camp needs to be searched."

"It's better to let them take a look." Fan Qingzhi said in a calm voice. As soon as he finished speaking, Guard Yu opened the carriage door.

The two soldiers following nearby only took a quick look inside. The interior of the carriage was clearly visible, with no room for hiding; there were only two people, one with a head full of white hair, and the other was someone they had seen before.
