Chapter 168 Military Provisions
For several days, most of the people in the team were busy clearing stones in front.Qing Ya and Ling Yunxi were not idle either, but did their best to help the soldiers cook and deliver meals.Because of Qingya and Ling Yunxi's looks and identities, every time Qingya and Ling Yunxi appeared with scarves on their faces.

"Madam, leave it alone, I'll do it!" Yudian said repeatedly as she watched Qingya carrying a big food delivery basket and hurriedly put down the work in her hands.

The madam is simply too worrying, she is already three months pregnant.But I still like to rush to do all kinds of work.What if I accidentally hurt the little prince in my stomach.

Qingya smiled at Yudian who was full of blame, but she was actually quite clear about her own body.Because I have a good foundation, it is still possible to do some things within my ability without being tired.

At this time, Ling Yunxi also looked at Qingya with disapproval and said: "Sister-in-law, so many of us have done it, if you really love us, you'd better stay aside!"

Qingya had no choice but to sit aside and quietly watch them keep busy.And just as they were rushing to the front to deliver food to those soldiers.Suddenly, there were bursts of hurried hoofbeats all around.

Qing Ya squinted her eyes, looking gloomy at the distance filled with dust.

"They're here!" Qingya thought in her heart, just when the stones were about to be cleared, they came.It was really a good time to come, because after several days of hard work, they were exhausted physically and mentally.Choosing to raid at this time is simply killing two birds with one stone.

As the figure on the horse got closer, Ling Yunxi and the others also began to put down their work one after another, and slowly surrounded Qingya.Gradually, a lot of black armor soldiers appeared around Qingya.That was Ling Yu's private soldier specially left to protect Qing Ya.

"Sister-in-law!" Ling Yunxi trembled a little while holding Qingya's little hand.It was the first time she had seen such a battle in such a big age.But there was some unspeakable excitement in her heart.This may have something to do with the Duke Protector's Mansion where she was born in a family of generals, and perhaps the blood and excitement of a general flowed in her blood.

"It's okay." Qingya said comfortingly, patting Ling Yunxi's little hand.But when she looked back at Ling Yunxi, she found that Ling Yunxi's eyes were flickering with inexplicable excitement.This made Qing Ya feel a little dumbfounded.But when she thought of Ling Yunxi's background, Qingya understood.Perhaps Ling Yunxi has the blood of a general in her bones!

Those hoofbeats soon came to Qingya not far away.Qingya saw that those figures on horseback were all sturdy and strong.Even the horses were in good spirits.It can be seen that those horses are all high-quality horses, and they are war horses that have experienced hundreds of battles.

Ling Yu took the lead to stop those horse thieves.He stared at the horse thieves with a gloomy face and shouted: "May I ask which mountain are the heroes from? We are the imperial court's reinforcements going to Yuncheng, and we are also the subordinates of Lord Protector Ling Yuntian. If you don't see us, please Everyone is selling the next face. I, the Duke of the Protectorate...!"

"Haha...!" Before Ling Yu could finish speaking, a big guy in the lead burst out laughing.

"Hey! What are you, let your heads come out and talk to me. Otherwise, I'll flatten this place." A leader-like big man with beards on his face shouted at Ling Yu.

Ling Yu's face darkened involuntarily, he took out the big knife behind him, and was about to slap his horse forward.

"Ling Yu, step back!" At this time, King Cheng, who had rushed back from the front, came to Ling Yu's side on horseback.

Ling Yu slowly put back the knife in her hand.

The big bearded man looked at King Cheng and Ling Yu with contempt and said, "I thought your leader was so powerful? It turns out they are just two little boys!"

"Haha...!" After the bearded man finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Prince Cheng looked calmly at the bearded man who was laughing wildly.At first, he thought that these thugs would make such a big commotion that they would plan to make a surprise attack on them tonight?But when he saw the maniacal laughter on the face of this bearded man, he understood.They didn't take them seriously at all.

"Hey! I said boy, if you are sensible, hand over your food and beauties. Maybe the Lord will let you go when he is happy!" The bearded man looked at Chengjun Wang provocatively and shouted road.

"Haha...!" There was a burst of wild laughter from the bandit team.

"Swoosh! Puchi!" With the sound of an arrow, the man who was laughing wildly fell off his horse with a plop.

"Ah! Ah!" There was panic and roars from among the bandits.But before they woke up from their anger, they heard a series of "whoosh! Whoosh!" voices.

"Plop! Plop!" The sound of arrows was replaced by the sound of falling off the horse.

"Brothers, kill me!" The belated bandits began to charge Chengjun Wang and Ling Yu desperately.But before they rushed up, they were knocked off their horses one after another by arrows covering the sky and covering the ground.

"Withdraw! Brothers, withdraw!" With a calm voice.Those bandits who were on the verge of rage began to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Ma'am, should we cut off their retreat?" Yudie asked quietly standing behind Qingya.

Qingya squinted at the bandits who were retreating in an orderly manner and said, "No, they are just the vanguard. There must be reinforcements behind. And the poor should not chase after them. When they are cut off at this time, it will only make them work harder. of."

Yudie nodded and quietly disappeared behind Qingya.

The bandits retreated very quickly, almost completely retreating within a quarter of an hour.

Qingya followed Prince Cheng and Ling Yu to the big tent for discussion.

Chengjun Wang looked at Qingya with joy and said: "Thanks to Madam's adaptability today, she was able to completely control the situation in such a short period of time."

"Your Majesty's praise! In fact, it is very unwise for us to show our strength at this time. Because we can all see that these bandits are simply here to take the front line and spy on our military situation." Qing Ya said modestly.

"Then if Ma'am is like this, why did you choose to strike without hesitation?" Ling Yu looked at Qingya with a puzzled look and asked.Originally, he was also very puzzled by Qingya's sudden attack today.

Because when they were discussing at the beginning, they decided that Qingya would control these archers, so that these archers could play their greatest role at the right time.And at first they thought the bandits would raid at night.But who would have imagined that they would appear in such a grandiose manner in broad daylight.It can be seen that they are really bold.

"The reason why I asked those archers to take action today is to give them a warning first. Let them also see the power of our court. Moreover, the lethality of archers during the day is much greater than that at night. Therefore, I I just wanted to let them taste our power first."

"But if you do this, don't you expose our strength and make them more vigilant?" Ling Yu still disagreed.

Qingya nodded with a smile and said: "What Lieutenant Ling said is true, I didn't think carefully." The reason why she did this today is because she felt that the arrogance of those bandits was too arrogant.She wanted the bandits to know that the imperial army was not a mob.Nor can they be humiliated and bullied.

"I don't think Madam's actions are wrong. In my opinion, it is still necessary to give those bandits a little bit of trouble. It's just that our most important thing now is the issue of food." King Cheng said with a frown .Because everyone needs to work these days, the food is slightly relaxed.But in this way, the food problem has become more and more tense.

Ling Yu's face also showed distress.

"I have a suggestion, I don't know if it is feasible?" Qing Ya looked at the distressed two people and said.

"Ma'am, it's okay to say it!" Chengjun Wang said politely to Qingya.Sometimes, he really doubted Qingya's identity.To say that Qingya used to be a young lady who never went out, he really couldn't believe it.Because in many cases, the wisdom and resourcefulness displayed by Qingya are beyond the imagination of a daughter raised in a deep boudoir.

"What I mean is very simple. It's what people need. If we can't guard the food, we will be suffocated by the food! We can take out some of the military rations to save the emergency. When we arrive..."

"No! Those grains must not be moved. Yuncheng is already a little short of food. If we reduce the grain at this time, it will make things difficult for the Duke when we arrive in Yuncheng." Ling Yu didn't wait for Qingya to finish speaking. He simply denied it.

King Cheng's expression moved, but he didn't say anything.Because at this time it is not suitable for him to express his opinion.Anyway, Qingya and Lingyu are people on the same road.No matter what they say or do, their ultimate goals and desires are the same.

And although he is the warlord this time, sometimes it is inconvenient for him to express something deeper.

Qingya couldn't help being taken aback by Ling Yu's fierce words.She understood Ling Yu's mood very well, and also understood Ling Yu's loyalty to Ling Yuntian.But it has priorities.Are they just guarding the food and watching those soldiers starve like this?What's more, there is still a tough battle waiting for them in the future?If those soldiers are not fed, where will they have the strength to deal with those murderous bandits without blinking an eye.

"Are we just starving to guard the food? You can do it, do you think those starving soldiers will do it?" Qingya looked at Ling Yu with a cold face and said.

Ling Yu opened his mouth, he really wanted to refute Madam, but he couldn't say what he wanted.The task assigned to him by the master was no matter what happened or encountered.He just needs to ensure the safety of his wife.As long as he can safely escort his wife to Yuncheng, the master will give him credit.But when he thought of the current situation of his master in Yuncheng, he couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of my proposal?" Qing Ya looked at Prince Cheng who was sitting silently at the side and asked.She knew that Prince Cheng agreed in his heart.Because most of the soldiers here are his subordinates.There are more than [-] of his private soldiers alone, and many of the soldiers escorting food and grass are also his subordinates.Therefore, Prince Yuqing and Licheng would not just watch his soldiers starve.

"I think Madam's proposal is feasible!" King Chengjun said directly without being pretentious.Whether it's public or private, he can't just watch these brothers who have been with him through life and death go hungry in vain.

"Huo!" Ling Yu stood up and walked out of the big tent with an angry face.

"You made the prince of the county laugh!" Qing Ya rubbed her brows, and politely said to the prince of Cheng.Actually, what Ling Yu did was not wrong.According to military regulations, no one is allowed or allowed to act rashly before the military rations arrive at Yuncheng.It's just that if she does this, it's tantamount to directly taking all the faults on her own body.

"It's okay! Lieutenant Ling is also acting in accordance with military regulations!" Chengjun Wang said politely.At this time, his heart was actually a little grateful for Qingya.It was because of Qingya's proposal that he became more relaxed.Because if he uses the military rations rashly, he only needs Ling Yuntian to hand it over to the emperor.No matter how reasonable he is, he will be condemned.
