Chapter 532: Food and Grass Arrived, Ten Thousand Years of Tears
Chapter 532: Food and Grass Arrived, Ten Thousand Years of Tears
"Has the food and grass problem been solved?"
Princess Wannian didn't believe it, and Princess Yun was also full of doubts.
As a princess born in the grassland, unlike her previous life of almost house arrest in the small house in the backyard for thousands of years, she would walk around the frontier with her children and maids every day.
Therefore, Princess Yun was very clear about it.
Although the remaining food now is not enough to leave them without food once Luoyang stops supplying food, it is only enough for two or three days.
Last night, Su Yao and his men had a falling out with Dong Zhuo, and today their food supply was cut off. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't think of how Su Yao would solve this problem.
"It's very simple."
Su Yao chuckled:
"You don't really think I'm going to make such a big fuss without any preparation."
As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, there was a burst of shouting from the barrier outside the door:
"The food is coming!"
"The food is coming!"
"Open the door quickly!"
The girls were shocked when they heard this.
As cheers came from inside the fortress, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the outside of the door.
Su Yao reached out to open the door and led everyone towards the city gate.
I saw teams of horse-drawn carriages loaded with grain slowly driving into the pass, the drivers shouting, the horses stepping at a steady pace, and the sacks on the carriages were bulging, obviously filled with heavy grains.
The golden sunset shines on the golden wheat grains, shining with the glory of the harvest.
Seeing this, the soldiers gathered around. Some of them helped unload the goods, while others talked excitedly.
As soon as they took a look, they realized that the food this team carried was probably enough to last them for seven days.
With these grains, plus the grain stored in the fortress, they don't have to worry about food problems for a whole ten days.
The previous unrest in the people's hearts caused by food shortages in the fortress was instantly swept away.
"See, I told you, food and fodder are not a problem at all."
Su Yao said to the girls happily:
"As long as I am here, you will never go hungry!"
Princess Wannian and Princess Yun looked at each other and saw surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
They never expected that in such a short time, Su Yao actually solved the major problem of food and grass.
"Where did you get so much food?"
Princess Yun was still puzzled.
With their eight hundred men plus the five hundred garrison troops at the pass, how could they raise food and fodder for so many people so quickly?
At this moment, without Su Yao's explanation, the "captain of grain transport" came forward:
"We urgently transferred this food from the warehouses of various chambers of commerce. We learned that food and grass were in short supply in the fortress, so we dared not delay even a little bit. We traveled day and night just to ensure that the soldiers could fight with peace of mind."
The person who came was a young girl in plain clothes. Although she came in a dusty situation, it was hard to hide her extraordinary temperament and hot body.
Standing in front of the two princesses at this moment, he was not inferior to them at all.
As the girls looked at her in surprise, the girl bowed gracefully, her eyes gentle but with a hint of determination:
"Zhen Jiang meets the two princesses."
"You are Zhen Jiang?!" Princess Yun exclaimed.
That’s right, this “grain transport captain” is Zhen Jiang.
The two princesses widened their eyes when they heard the name. They looked at each other, shocked and troubled.
The two men then turned their gazes to Su Yao. However, Su Yao was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if he was enjoying the beauty of the sunset, if that position was not blocked by the city wall.
The men and women present behaved like this naturally because the two princesses already knew Zhen Jiang's name.
Ever since Xiaochun came back, Zhen Jiang’s situation could no longer be concealed.
Su Yao, actually took in another mistress while all of them were away, and she was a girl from a noble family!
This guy immediately became jealous.
Princess Yun is better. Being a hero and a beauty is the true nature of grassland men.
As a foreign woman, her status in the Central Plains was delicate.
So even though she was jealous, she didn't make trouble.
But the Princess of Ten Thousand Years was different.
When the emperor granted the marriage, she should have been married to the eldest wife of the Su family, a prominent family.
As a result, after a series of misfortunes, not only did she lose her loved ones, but before she had the chance to get married, Su Yao found a new love?
What on earth is going on?
After this series of blows, even though Princess Wannian was rescued by Su Yao, she still doubted this man's intentions.
But unfortunately, she has nothing now, and she is so conflicted that she can only stay at home every day, wiping away tears quietly, missing her father and grandmother.
The two princesses are like this, and most of the servants in the Su Mansion are very perceptive people.
Su Yao didn't mention Zhen Jiang, and no one mentioned that woman. Everyone pretended that the mistress didn't exist, and several days passed like this.
However, they never expected that this concubine would come at such a critical moment, and brought with them the food and fodder they desperately needed.
"My lord, you..." Princess Wannian was hesitant to speak, at a loss as to what to do. The dignified atmosphere that had just been brewing in the house completely dissipated.
Princess Wannian is extremely contradictory.
She wanted to question Su Yao about his intentions and why he married Zhen Jiang without their knowledge, but she was worried that her questioning would put him in an awkward position, and she was even more afraid that it would affect the current situation.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
However, this was naturally what Su Yao did on purpose.
Just like an ugly bride has to meet her parents-in-law, it is natural that he cannot be ruthless to Zhen Jiang Su Yao and leave the girl outside in an awkward position.
Right now, this is a good opportunity to showcase Zhen Jiang and let her integrate into this family.
So, Su Yao, who noticed the princess's embarrassment, finally turned around and said soothingly:
"Wannian, Yun'er, I know you have many questions and confusions in your hearts, but please believe that everything I do is for our future."
He walked up to Princess Wannian, gently held her hand, and said sincerely:
"Zhen Jiang's arrival is not because I want to provoke you on impulse, but because I want you to know that her existence is very important and has helped me a lot in the past."
"She not only brought us the food and fodder we desperately needed, but was also my think tank and support at many critical moments. I believe that with her joining us, our strength will only grow stronger."
Princess Wannian looked at Su Yao, then looked at the soldiers and workers who had stopped their work and were watching. She shook her head slightly:
"I...I understand."
"I hope you can handle these matters properly and not let family affairs affect official business."
After saying that, she took a deep breath and solemnly expressed her gratitude to Zhen Jiang for her support. This little episode was thus resolved.
However, unlike her magnanimous appearance, in private, when the night was quiet, Princess Wannian shed an unusually large number of tears tonight.
With red eyes, she drove away the maid and knelt alone in front of the ancestral tablet, her tears could not be wiped away.
At the same time, outside the door on the other side of the wall, Su Yao was walking towards him step by step.
