Chapter 390 Don't Panic
Seeing the yamen servants standing still after listening to his order, Li Chong had no choice but to drink again:
"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and back down!"

The yamen servants just woke up like a dream, and hastily put away their swords one after another, and retreated behind Li Chong and the others.

Li Zhong lowered his head, changed his face like flipping a book and returned to that amiable expression, made a 'please' gesture to Pei Xiaoran, and said with a smile:

"It's windy outside, please come inside, Miss Pei."

Pei Xiaoran waved his hand, pointed behind him, and said:
"I have already borrowed food and grass, please quickly count them into the warehouse and distribute them to the people in the city. The lost food and grass have not yet been recovered, so I can't accompany you any longer."

Li Chong was taken aback, and turned his head to exchange glances with his staff.

The staff members were also shocked, and their hearts were full of puzzlement.

I heard that King Li of Great Yin is not easy to get along with, and he likes to make people difficult and see people embarrassing. He is a spoiled son of the royal family.

Why would such a character lend food and grass to a little Pei Xiaoran so kindly?
Moreover, I also heard that King Li of Great Yin has a beautiful appearance, which is rare in the world. Looking at Pei Xiaoran, not to mention that he has not yet grown up, his appearance can only be regarded as above-average. Lent her food and grass because of the confusion... It's completely unreasonable.

The staff didn't understand it, and Li Chong couldn't figure it out even more.

Before a few people could ask why, Pei Xiaoran had already saluted and said goodbye, then turned around and left with her team.

"Hey, wait..."

Li Chong stretched out his hand, but it was too late to stop him, so he had to call someone over to count the food and grass according to Pei Xiaoran's order.

After the inventory was completed, it was found that the grain and grass were exactly [-] shi, no more and no less.

It's only been a few days since the loss of food and grass, but Pei Xiaoran not only successfully borrowed food and grass, but also borrowed so much that he didn't delay the timing of disaster relief at all.

Li Chong and his staff couldn't help but look at this 'little kid' with admiration.

Could it be that, as those fortune tellers said back then, this child is not only Suzaku's lucky star, but also a future pillar?
It's a pity that when a few people wanted to curry favor with this future pillar of talent, it was too late.

Pei Xiaoran led a group of people and rushed back to the place where the grain and grass disappeared. As expected, she found that her masters, fourth brother and others had not returned yet.

Pei Xiaoran was not in a hurry, and asked the soldiers to camp in place to wait. Anyway, now that the problem of food and grass had been resolved, she had plenty of time to wait.

What's more, these soldiers were exhausted from running around with her, so they just took advantage of this moment to take a good rest.

After another three days like this, there was finally a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance.

All of them looked into the distance in unison, and when the sound of horseshoes approached, they realized that it was Pei Xiaoran's fourth brother——Pei Yanhe who came back.

Behind Pei Yanhe was not only the soldiers he took away, but also more than a dozen flatbed trucks full of grain and grass. Obviously, this pursuit was not in vain.

It's just that his mood didn't improve because he recovered some food and grass. On the contrary, he looked angry. When he got off the horse, he was still cursing, pointing at the coachmen who were tied up and thrown on the horse's back and said:

"A bunch of rotten things whose consciences have been eaten by dogs! Do you know how important these food and grass are to those people? This is what keeps them alive! You not only want to kill them, you also want to kill my sister! A bunch of bastards, let's see how I peeled off your skin!"

The soldiers and coachmen behind him didn't react at all when they heard this, obviously they had heard it many times along the way.

Pei Yanhe still felt puzzled after cursing, so he ran to those coachmen after getting off his horse, kicking their butts hard with his feet.

The people beside him skillfully stepped forward and hugged his waist from behind and pulled him away, and skillfully began to persuade him to calm down, because it's not worth it to get angry because of these bastards.

Pei Yanhe calmed down after being persuaded, and hated iron for being weak:
"Following my sister to deliver food and grass to the people, accumulating virtue and making meritorious deeds, how wonderful! Why do you have to commit such a crime! A group of things whose heads were kicked by donkeys, let me see how you die!"

Pei Yanhe was already spoiled by the old lady, but this time these bastards almost killed his sister, it's pretty good that he didn't kill them all on the spot.

The coachmen were frightened by his words, their faces turned pale, and they knew that a catastrophe was about to happen, and all of them drooped their heads.

They never expected that those who chased them would be so relentless.

On the night of stealing food and grass, they first ran along the main road all night. After running far enough to make sure that even if Pei Xiaoran sent someone to chase them, it would be difficult to catch up with them, they turned into the narrow and difficult path at dawn.

They all went separately, and they didn't even know where the other went.

After turning into the trail and walking for another day, these people became a little relaxed.

After all, they set off all night before Pei Xiaoran's pursuers, unless those pursuers had wings, otherwise, they would not be able to catch up with them at all.

Even if they can catch up, it will be difficult to find them.

Therefore, these people slowly slowed down, took the money given by Cao Tailai's subordinates, and started to move forward while eating, drinking and having fun.

At the same time, Pei Yanhe and Pei Xiaoran's five masters, who were full of anger, were chasing them at full speed.

Knowing that those who escaped will definitely separate and cunningly go, so once they encounter a fork in the road, they will form a small group of people to chase the fork in the road.

And regardless of the roads, as long as there is a road, they will be chased by others, and no traitor who steals food will be let go!

After traveling so fast for several days, Pei Yanhe finally caught up with one of the stolen grain trucks, pulled the driver out of the gambling house and beat him half to death. After confirming that there was no escaped driver in front of him, Pei Yanhe led people back to catch up. .

On the way back, he encountered soldiers who had chased several other grain carts one after another, so he brought them back together, thinking that even if he didn't recover all the grain and grass, it would be better to get some back for emergency .

A gust of cold wind blew past, waking Pei Yanhe's feverish head awake.

Only then did Pei Yanhe think of his business, and hurriedly turned to look for Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xiaoran was standing not far away, watching the excitement with his little hands clasped. Seeing that her fourth brother finally noticed him, he shook his little paw at him to signal that he was here.

Pei Yanhe rushed over, grabbed her small shoulders with both hands and said hastily:

"Send the grain and grass first, and the remaining masters of yours should bring them back soon. Don't worry, the grain and grass will definitely be found. Your Majesty will not blame you."

Pei Xiaoran raised a small hand and pressed it down to signal him not to worry, and said with a smile:
"I've already borrowed food and grass and delivered it, fourth brother don't panic."
