Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 692 Heartbroken
Upon hearing Boss Wan's inquiry about the meeting time, Tang Wan thought for a moment and then said, "Alright. Then let's discuss the details at your carriage shop at 10:00 AM tomorrow."

Mr. Wan paused for a moment, then asked, "Master, where are the goods? Wouldn't you like to check the situation of the goods in advance to facilitate subsequent loading and dispatching?"

"Let's look at the items in a few days. I need to make some more preparations," Tang Wan explained with a smile. "Once they're ready, I'll ring the bell for you, and then you can contact Chief Escort Zhou."

"Alright! It's settled then. See you tomorrow at 9 AM!" Boss Wan ended the call decisively.

Tang Wan put down the bell and breathed a sigh of relief. One of the biggest problems—the handling of the escort team—had gone more smoothly than expected.

Next, we just need to wait for the details to be finalized tomorrow, as well as for the final batch of supplies in the space to mature and the cured meats to be completed.

In the evening, Tang Wan had a simple dinner and returned to her room.

The moonlight outside the window was clear and bright. She calculated the time and figured that the War King should have finished his march for the day and was now setting up camp to rest.

Tang Wan entered the space from the bathroom, took out the bell that was specially used to communicate with the War King, gently stroked it, hesitated for a moment, and then turned on the bell.

The call was quickly answered, and the War King's deep, slightly hoarse voice came through: "Wan'er? Is something the matter?"

You should know that this person usually doesn't take the initiative to contact you.

Tang Wan could faintly hear the snorting of horses, the movement of soldiers, and the slight clinking of armor, indicating that they had just set up camp.

"Did I call at the wrong time? Should I call again later?" Tang Wan asked in a low voice.

The War King was somewhat helpless. What could possibly be wrong? They hadn't even gone to the battlefield yet. So he said affectionately, "It's nothing! Nothing is more important than you. Is something wrong?"

"I've almost finished arranging everything here. I'll be sending the supplies I prepared for you over in the next few days." Tang Wan's voice was relaxed. "The convoy and the escort agency have been contacted. We'll finalize the details tomorrow."

She paused, then said solemnly, "Er Ya... in a few days, once the last batch of cured meats is dried, she will set off with the supplies to deliver them to you in the Southern Desert."

"Er Ya escorted over, there's a lot of stuff?" Zhan Wang asked bluntly.

Tang Wan smiled slightly and said proudly, "Of course, at least eighteen cars are needed."

"So many things, what if it's not safe on the road? Can Er Ya handle it all by herself?" Although the War King knew Er Ya's identity and her abilities, he was afraid that Er Ya couldn't handle all these things by herself.

"Don't worry, I've found the largest and most reliable escort agency and carriage company in the prefecture. The carriage company belongs to Boss Wan, and the escort agency is personally guaranteed by him. It's the largest escort agency in the northern desert—Weiyuan Escort Agency, and their Chief Escort, Zhou, will personally lead the team," Tang Wan explained.

When Zhan Wang heard that it was Boss Wan's car dealership, he was a little unhappy, but he said, "So it's guaranteed by Boss Wan. It must be good. I feel at ease using it."

Tang Wan smiled and continued, "Yes, we feel at ease with reliable escorts. Besides, the supplies are almost ready. The climate in the Southern Desert is hot and humid, and these preserved meats, medicinal herbs, and dried rations are just right to replenish the military supplies, especially the anti-inflammatory herbs, which can be used in case of injuries or illnesses on the way. The sooner they are delivered, the sooner we can have peace of mind."

The War King was silent for a moment before saying, "Very well. Since you have made the arrangements, and Boss Wan's men are trustworthy. The route... follow the relatively hidden backup trade route we agreed on before, avoiding several areas where there might be bandits. My army is advancing south, and the specific camp location is changing every day... Go to the palace and find the steward, and have him assign half of that personal guard to escort the goods. This will also make it easier to contact the main army later."

The military has its own communication methods, which is better than the convoy not being able to find the main force.

Tang Wan thought for a moment. Since the War King had sent people to accompany them, the escort agency wouldn't need to use so many people. Besides, Er Ya was with them; her strength was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If we didn't have too much stock, we wouldn't need anyone else.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan readily accepted the War King's arrangement and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But when Er Ya goes, you don't need to worry about her too much. She won't follow you closely, but she will appear if there is any danger. Her most important task is to contact me, and of course, to take stock and hand over the work."

"Okay! I'll remember!" The War King felt a little relieved to hear that Tang Wan was so obedient. As for Er Ya, he didn't really want to interfere. After all, he knew Er Ya's identity. Although he wasn't afraid, he felt a little strange about her.

Tang Wan smiled slightly and asked, "How is the march going on your side? Are the soldiers adapting well?"

"It's alright," the War King said matter-of-factly. "Aside from being a bit tired, everything is fine."

"By the way, I brought you a lot of good stuff this time. If you don't want to share it all with everyone, you can share it with those who have contributed," Tang Wan suggested. "Didn't you say last time that you used up more than half of the beef jerky? This time, I can arrange a truckload of beef jerky for you."

When the War King heard Tang Wan say this, he was genuinely happy, so he smiled and joked, "Wan'er still cares about me. I will remember your kindness."

"How annoying!" Tang Wan scolded playfully. "By the way, the humidity in the south will probably be very high. I have a recipe here for preventing heatstroke and dispelling dampness. If you can, you can give some to the soldiers."

"Alright, as long as it's not something particularly valuable, I'll try my best!" The War King didn't dare to agree immediately, fearing he couldn't afford to give so many things.

"They shouldn't be anything precious; they're just some commonly used medicinal herbs," Tang Wan explained with a smile.

She knew that the War King would prepare many commonly used medicinal herbs before setting off.

"If that's the case, then we'll definitely need it later. Should you tell me now, or wait for Er Ya to come over?" the War King asked after thinking for a moment.

Tang Wan thought for a moment and replied, "Let Er Ya deliver it again. I estimate that your army won't even have reached the Southern Desert by the time she arrives! I'll also have her bring two cartloads of medicinal herbs needed for the heatstroke prevention and dampness removal prescription, so you won't have to worry about not having enough herbs."

"I've troubled Wan'er again!" The War King was slightly embarrassed, though he wasn't actually that poor.

There are just too many soldiers, and he's always subsidizing them. But the more he subsidizes, the more he feels the pinch. So now he asks about everything he needs, afraid that it might be too expensive to afford.

Tang Wan sensed that the War King was somewhat embarrassed, so she didn't tease him any further and simply replied sincerely, "You don't need to be so polite with me. Winning the battle is the greatest reward for me."

The most important thing is for everyone to come back safe and sound.

The two whispered some more private words, mostly the War King's instructions on safety details for the journey, until the War King seemed to have received a military report, at which point they ended the communication.

After putting down the bell, Tang Wan walked to the window and gazed at the bright moon in the night sky.

Everything is ready; all that's needed is the east wind.
