Chapter 1294 Famine and Natural Disaster 453

Chunxi hurried and asked several servants before he found out where Steward Luo was. The old man was guarding the kitchen, waiting to prepare some food to be sent to the military camp.

When Chunxi arrived, she saw the servants in the kitchen packing food into boxes; Butler Luo and Chunmei were talking beside them, and it was obvious that Chunmei was conveying the young lady's instructions.

She stood there holding the things and waited for a while. She only walked forward after seeing Chunmei and Butler Luo finish their conversation.

"Meet Steward Luo." Chun Xi bowed and saluted, then handed over the envelope, "Steward Luo, my young lady has written a letter to the young master. I'd like you to help pass it on for me."

Butler Luo nodded kindly, took the envelope and put it together with the finished wool products that Chunmei brought.

"How do you two do things? Something that can be done in one go requires you to make two separate trips." The two of them came here not far apart in time, almost at the same time.

"Butler Luo, when I came here, the master was about to go look for Master Fan." Chunmei said calmly.

Chunxi nodded repeatedly, "The young lady went to see Master Fan first, and then she wrote the letter after she came back. I asked this servant to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

Butler Luo suddenly realized and waved his hand, "Okay, I understand. You go back and tell the young lady that I will personally deliver the things to the military camp in a while, and the things and the letter will be handed over to the prince together."

"You're going to the barracks?"

Chunxi was surprised and Chunmei was astonished.

Butler Luo has been in charge of the Fucheng Palace for many years. When the masters are not in Fucheng, Butler Luo is the reassurance of the Fucheng Palace.

"It's been a long time since I last paid my respects to the prince. It's time to go and pay my respects to him."

He said it calmly, but Chunxi and Chunmei didn't think so. "Then ask the driver to drive slower when you go, the road is not easy to travel on."

"I got it. You go back and take good care of the young lady. If anything happens to the young lady, just tell someone to do it, and no one dares to say no." He was really worried about leaving such a big palace for a day.

After being in charge for decades, it has become a habit for him to be in charge. He has to think over and over again about everything he should and should not worry about.

"The servants will take good care of the young lady/master."

The two of them responded in unison, then bowed and left.

After sending the two little girls away, Butler Luo turned around and looked at the packed food boxes; he called out to a servant to help carry the bag of finished wool products, while he carried the food box and held the envelope in his hand.

The two of them walked out of the palace in a hurry.

There was already a carriage waiting outside the mansion, and the accompanying guards and coachman were in place.

"Butler Luo."

"Butler Luo, please get in the carriage."

The leader of the guards came forward to greet them, and the driver jumped off the shaft and waited respectfully on the side.

Butler Luo nodded, holding the food box and the envelope in his arms, and with the help of the captain of the guards, he stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage. He sat directly opposite the carriage door, and the guard took the bag from the servant and stuffed it on the seat, then closed the carriage door.

"Butler Luo, can we set off?"

"Departure."

After the captain of the guards consulted with Butler Luo and got the answer, he said loudly: "Let's go!"

"Here!"

A group of guards on horseback escorted the carriage as it marched out of the city in a mighty procession.

As soon as we got out of the city and onto the dirt road, things started to get bumpy.

Butler Luo held the food box tightly in his hands, but the road was bumpy; the food box was placed in the position, and he kept shaking it with his hands. In the end, in order to prevent the food in the food box from being wasted, he could only hold the food box in his arms. He walked with fear all the way, and finally arrived outside the military camp after half an hour.

The captain of the guards pulled the reins and drove the horse to the window of the carriage and stopped. He knocked on the window and said, "Butler Luo, we have arrived at the military camp. You can get off now."

"Come two people."

Butler Luo breathed a sigh of relief. His whole body felt like it was about to fall apart, but luckily the food box protected it.

"Yes." The captain of the guards dismounted, walked to the shaft and opened the door of the carriage, "Butler Luo, please hand the things to me."

"Okay, hold it steady."

What Butler Luo was most worried about was the food box, so he handed the food box to the captain of the guards first.

The captain of the guards took it with both hands and handed it to his fellow guard who dismounted from the horse. Turning his head to see the coachman bringing a stool and placing it under the shaft, he reached out to support Steward Luo, but he did not expect to receive a large bag.

"I don't need your help here, just take the things." After refusing their help, Butler Luo stepped out of the carriage and walked down on the horse stool. After sitting in the carriage for so long, he felt at ease when he stepped on the solid ground. "Captain of the guards, follow me. The others will wait outside."

No outsiders are allowed to enter the military camp unless specially approved.

They came suddenly and without asking the prince for permission, Butler Luo just took the guards to the guard post.

The captain of the guards followed Butler Luo to the guard post, carrying a bag in one hand and a food box in the other.

The guards didn't recognize the two men and immediately stopped them. "Stop, who are you? This is a restricted area in the military camp and no outsiders are allowed to enter."

"Young man, I am the steward of the palace, my last name is Luo. Please inform me and tell me that I am here to deliver something to the prince on behalf of the women in my family."

The four young guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen Butler Luo, so how did they know if this man was the palace's butler?

"Young man, I am really the steward of the palace." Seeing that they did not believe him, Steward Luo took out a jade pendant, which was a unique jade pendant for the palace. "Look, this is something only the stewards in the palace have."

The four young generals were confused, as they did not recognize the jade pendant of the palace steward.

"Don't blame me, old man. We have only served in the military camp for two years, so we don't recognize the thing in your hand. How about this, you give the thing to me and I will take it in to show the commander. Do you think it's okay?" A young guard spoke up. Although he had a stern face, his attitude softened a little.

If this person is really the steward of the palace, then he is the commander-in-chief's close confidant; such a person must not be offended.

"Thank you very much." Butler Luo handed over the jade pendant.

The young soldier took it with both hands. The jade pendant felt warm to the touch, stained with the body temperature of Steward Luo. He made up his mind, "Wait a moment, old man. I will go and report."

"Thank you."

Butler Luo took a step back, and the captain of the guards who followed him also took a step back, keeping a distance of five steps away from the military camp guard post, making their attitude clear.

The young soldier smiled, exchanged a glance with his fellow sergeant, and then turned back into the camp.

The captain of the guards stood behind Steward Luo and asked in a low voice, "Steward Luo, the guards in the barracks seem to be much stricter. There weren't so many guards when I came here before."

"That was before, it's different now."

Butler Luo's mouth curled up slightly, full of pride and pride. His son was really amazing! The prince had conquered the Western Regions and Ningguo, which the prince had failed to conquer, in just one year. Today, the northwest region is vast and the territory is vast.

The prince is good at commanding the army, even better than the prince.

The difference between a prince in power and a crown prince in power can be seen from the demeanor of the soldiers in the military camp.
