Chapter 1001 The Wind Stops and the Snow Stops
Although Zhou Shiyue is the emperor's most "favored" younger brother, he is not so pretentious.
In the military camp, he ate half a bowl of noodles without any side dishes or meat without any resentment.
Although he was not full with half a bowl of noodles, he knew that it was good enough for the camp to provide them with this.
Lu Zhaoling said that General Qiu's body was weak. Although it was due to the possession of the alien spirit, it might also be because he did not eat enough.
For someone with General Qiu's physique and who has to lead troops in training, it would not be good for him not to have enough to eat at every meal.
"It's impossible that there are any bandits in Zongyun Mountain who are so daring. Transporting military rations to Subei Camp is not something that happened in the past one or two years. It has been transported countless times. No one dared to touch it before, but now they dare to do it?"
Zhou Shiyue talked about Zongyun Mountain with Lu Zhaoling.
"If someone really robbed the grain, then the other party is really unhappy and desperate, so they took the risk. But if they are really in a desperate situation, it is more practical to enter the city and rob the rich, even if it is the Qiu family?"
"Another possibility is that some people who have been secretly planning something big think that now is the right time to do it."
In other words, the other party's plan has been launched, and as a result, a series of events may follow.
It can’t be as simple as just stealing some military rations.
Lu Zhaoling held his chin and thought about it.
"It's strange. The other party took so much effort to steal the food, so why is it so easy to take it back? Are they playing?"
If you really want to do something like robbing military rations, you must plan your follow-up carefully. How to retreat, how to transport, and how to hide all need to be carefully planned.
It's strange that it was snatched back so quickly.
Zhou Shiyue put down the bowl, took the handkerchief handed to him by Qinglin, and wiped his mouth.
He then said, "So, I have to tell General Qiu that even if the grain is shipped back, it must be carefully inspected."
He was worried that there might be problems with the food he had taken back.
Lu Zhaoling nodded. In fact, she thought so too.
"What do you think we can do with those disaster victims?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.
"The supplies from Shuning City should have been transported to Subei City. I asked Qingfeng and his men to go back and take charge of the resettlement. If these disaster victims have no relatives to rely on, they can only go to Subei City first, and then we will have someone distribute some things to them."
Zhou Shiyue had already thought about it.
He also didn't think of letting these disaster victims stay in Subei Camp. It was a military stronghold, so disaster victims naturally couldn't stay, especially when something like military rations happened.
"Then let's hurry back to the city."
Zhou Shiyue took her to say goodbye to General Qiu.
After General Qiu used the talisman, he looked much better.
He had already put on his handsome clothes and was preparing to go and see the victims later.
Knowing that Zhou Shiyue and the others were going back to Subei City, he did not dare to try to keep them. He just asked Mr. Qiu, who was going back with them, to treat them well.
"Your Highness, don't worry about the military rations. I will follow up on it personally." The military advisor had just told him to tell Prince Jin about this matter.
"General Qiu, you have worked hard."
Zhou Shiyue clasped his fist and said, "When I return to the capital, I will explain the situation to the emperor."
"By the way, let these disaster victims take some time off and then let them leave as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
General Qiu personally escorted them out of the camp.
Xiao Qi and Wang Xiaofu also came to see them off.
When he saw them, Zhou Shiyue thought of Dagui Village.
He also said to General Qiu, "Send someone to watch over the Jia family in Dagui Village, and don't get into conflict with them for the time being."
He was already prepared to wait until Miss Sheng San learned how to fight before letting her go to Dagui Village.
"Yes."
As they left the camp, the victims who were drinking porridge looked over at them.
Seeing such an imposing group of people, the victims did not dare to make any move. However, when Lu Zhaoling glanced over, he saw several victims showing jealous and resentful expressions.
Those people's eyes kept lingering on their carriages, and it seemed as if they wished that these carriages were theirs.
But they definitely didn't dare to make any moves here.
Lu Zhaoling felt a little heavy-hearted.
Once the number of disaster victims increases and Subei City can no longer accommodate them, they can only move further south.
If you are so hungry that your eyes turn green, you will do anything.
Although she and Zhou Shiyue had prepared a lot of things, if the disaster was too serious, those things would not be able to help everyone.
They left the camp and headed towards the city.
On the way, they actually met a few families of disaster victims. Qingyin asked them and they were told that they were going directly to Shuning City to seek refuge with their relatives.
They, the elderly and children, can only walk on their own legs.
Lu Zhaoling lifted the curtain and took a look, just in time to meet the eyes of a child.
The child was about two years old, being carried by his father, sucking his fingers. However, his hands were already red from the cold, and with the habit of sucking his fingers, his fingers were already red, swollen and injured.
The child had a runny nose and his face was red. When he saw Lu Zhaoling, he suddenly grinned, took his finger out of his mouth and stretched it towards Lu Zhaoling.
"Sister, here, suck..."
As if it was some good thing and she should take a sip of it.
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
Zhou Shiyue also leaned over to take a look. He wanted to laugh, but felt it was a bit unkind.
"Go, give that kid some candy."
Let him know what delicious food is.
When the weather is extremely cold, sometimes having a piece of candy can help keep your body from freezing.
"Yes."
"Send all the food in the carriage to them." Lu Zhaoling added.
Qingyin and Qingbao packed up the food in the wooden drawers of several carriages and delivered them to those people.
The carriage sped past quickly.
The families behind were still bowing to them.
What a kind person he is! He actually sent them so much food. At least the elderly and children can have something to fill their stomachs.
Moreover, sugar is something they can't taste even a little bit in a whole year.
As time passed, Mr. Qiu also lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside.
At this moment, Ah Kuan, who was driving outside, also said in shock, "Second Master, the snow has stopped!"
Mr. Qiu also saw it.
The wind stopped and the snow stopped.
He immediately thought of what Hua Mudan wrote in the letter.
Hua Mudan was right, the wind and snow had indeed stopped at this time!
"After you go back, you should quickly ask someone to check whether Madam Hua has sent any letters to the mansion or done anything else after I left," said Mr. Qiu.
"Yes."
Yin Yunting was riding in the same carriage with him. Seeing the solemn expression on Mr. Qiu's face, he asked, "Mr. Qiu, are you thinking of going to the appointment?"
It can be seen that Mr. Qiu was also shocked by Hua Mudan's ability to predict the weather.
After all, the wind and snow had not stopped before.
