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

Chapter 1368 Famine and Natural Disaster 526
"Brother Yu, have you gone to the brokerage shop to ask Wang Ya Ren when the horses will be ready?" He asked the people around him as he walked out holding the red silk.

I've been delayed in town for almost two days. I have to set off back tomorrow no matter what.

Guard Yu shook his head. "I asked, and the Wangya people found a few distant villages this morning, and only managed to gather fifteen horses."

"That's almost enough." Ming Yi said, "I have a horse, and each of the guards can have one. The Ning family are scholars, so the guards can take care of them."

"That's okay too."

Now that the horse was found, Mingyi felt at ease to go out for a walk.

Hongchou was indeed a rare good horse. After running-in for almost an hour, the man and the horse were able to cooperate very well.

That night.

Guard Yu went to the pawnshop to settle the remaining silver and immediately brought back all the horses from the pawnshop. There were seventeen horses in total, which was two more than expected. Wang Ya Ren was indeed a capable man.

As soon as the horses were brought back, the guards each chose one and drove the horses they chose to build relationships with them. In order to be able to set off normally the next day, they stayed in the stable that night, which was a good opportunity to spend more time with their new partners.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

When Mingyi went downstairs, Guard Yu and others were already waiting in the lobby on the first floor; the guards sat at several tables, and the Ning family sat at a single table.

"Madam Cheng, please take a seat."

Guard Yu pointed to a separate table.

Mingyi thanked him and walked forward to sit down, then asked softly, "Are you ready?"

"The dry food is ready, and the brothers have developed a little relationship with the horses. We just need to run them in before we set off."

"That's fine. Let's have breakfast. After breakfast, we'll get going. We've been delayed for two days, so we'll be a little rushed on the road. Talk to Mr. Ning and the others."

Guard Yu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam Cheng. I mentioned this to them when the old man from the Ning family came down. They understand. We really have to hurry up with our schedule, as there are still many things to arrange later."

Mingyi smiled happily.

"Everything is arranged. You can sit down and eat."

"Yes."

Guard Yu did not return to his brothers' table, but sat opposite Mingyi. Mingyi ate a little to fill his stomach, and the remaining large bowl of porridge and the remaining buns on the table all went into his stomach. The side dishes on the table were pickles and kimchi, and neither of them was left.

After breakfast, the group picked up their luggage, packed some dry food for everyone, and drove their horses out of the town.

They hurried all the way and returned to Pingyang Pass in three days.

Inside Pingyang Pass, there was a group of people walking in a hurry. Judging from their clothes, they were just ordinary people. They were pushing carts. The carts were covered with oil paper, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

"Why did they come to Pingyang Pass?"

"I don't know. I'll go and ask around."

After Ming Yi agreed, Guard Yu dismounted and grabbed a short man, "Fellow countryman, what are you doing?"

"Don't hold me back, my lord. The soldiers at Pingyang Pass are fighting bravely in the front. We have to go and help them."

"Help?" Guard Yu was surprised. "What help?" There are at least several hundred civilians. Can they still go to the battlefield?

"We are here to help with the work. The soldiers are fighting in the front, so we are bringing them some hot food. We have a good life in the northwest now, thanks to the Zhou Palace and the Northwest Army. Although we are just ordinary people, we know how to be grateful. They have been fighting outside Pingyang Pass for more than ten days, and there are seriously injured soldiers carried back every day. We can't go to the battlefield, so we do what we can. It's still possible to deliver some food and water to the barracks every day."

Guard Yu was thoughtful. If these people really came to deliver things, then it would be a timely help to the military camp. With so many seriously injured soldiers, supplies and water became an urgent need.

"We let you into the military camp?" The military camp is a restricted area and no outsiders are allowed in. How could they be allowed in?
The man who was caught couldn't run away. He frowned and said impatiently, "Don't pull me. You're holding me too hard. I'm afraid my elbow will turn blue."

"I'm sorry, fellow." Guard Yu quickly let go of the man and asked apologetically, "No one is allowed to enter the military camp. Are you allowed to enter?"

"Who told you we could get in? We only delivered the stuff outside the barracks and someone came to check it."

“You gave it away for free?”

"It was originally free, but the commander in the barracks insisted on paying for it, so we had to give more. We gave them a larger amount each time, so that they would not be short of water."

After the man finished speaking, he ran away quickly, crossing the line of people on the road; he ran to the front of the crowd and helped push the cart.

Guard Yu took two steps and looked back; he felt mixed emotions, as he had never seen civilians delivering supplies and water to the soldiers in the army, taking care of the injured soldiers in Pingyang Pass, and delivering the most urgently needed things.

When he got back to his horse, he looked up and said to Mingyi who was sitting on the horse, "Madam Cheng, they are the people from the town near Pingyang Pass. They came here to deliver supplies and water to our Northwest Army. I heard that the battle at Pingyang Pass has been going on for more than ten days, and there are wounded being sent back every day."

"As the number of injured people increased, water and supplies became scarce, and these ordinary people came to deliver things."

Ming Yi smiled brightly after hearing this, "You guys send Mr. Ning and the others back to rest. I'm going to the military camp."

"Madam Cheng, I will go with you."

"I'll go too." Guard Li said hurriedly.

Guard Yu added, "Mr. Ning and the others have other brothers to send them back."

Starry eyes swept over the group of Mr. Ning and his party behind them. The family of four was led by the guards in turn to ride horses all the way, and their faces were not very good; the road was too bumpy, and they had to rush in time, so the riders had to concentrate on riding the horses and didn't care whether they were tired or not. Besides, they were all martial arts people, strong and healthy, so they could naturally endure it.

The Ning family are just scholars. Even though they can ride horses, their physique is still weak. Just look at their pale and haggard faces to know. However, I have never heard them complain. They just endured silently on the way back.

"Okay, tell the guards behind us clearly that they must send the Ning family home safely."

"My subordinate understands."

Guard Yu strode forward and came to the front of the horses of his fellow guards. The guards were about to dismount, but were stopped by Guard Yu.

"No need to come down, you guys should send Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning Da, Mr. Ning Er and Mr. Ning Xiao back to rest first. We are going to the military camp, you must send them home first, remember?"

"My subordinate understands!"

Responded in unison.

Guard Yu looked at Mr. Ning and the others and said with concern, "Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning, and Mr. Ning, you should go home and have a good rest. Madam Cheng and I have something to do, so we can't go with you on the rest of the journey."

"Just go ahead and do whatever you want. Once we get to Pingyang Pass, we know how to get back." Old Man Ning thought that they were going to the military camp, so it would be good for more people to go with them.

Guard Yu smiled and declined, "You are so thoughtful. We are just going to take a look. You, the two gentlemen, and the young master should go home and rest. When you are well rested, Madam Cheng has something to discuss with you."
