654 I’ll Leave It All To You

Liang Hengxiao sat on his personal attendant’s back and looked at the empty room that was filled with people. His eyes were empty.

The deputy general was completely stunned.

He was the one who suffered the greatest shock. After all, he had seen with his own eyes that there was nothing in this warehouse.

The others were about the same. Wasn’t this too miraculous?

The deputy swallowed his saliva and looked at Shi Qingluo. “Princess Fubao, did your master give us all this?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “My master didn’t give it to you. I collected it from Northern City. I just asked my master to help transfer it here.”

She thought to herself, ‘Master, I’ll burn more incense for you when we get back. I’ll have to make you take the blame again. Please forgive me!’

The deputy general’s face was still filled with disbelief. “Your master is still here?”

Shi Qingluo shrugged. “Not anymore.”

“Why? You want to see my master?” she asked with a smile.

The deputy general coughed, realizing that he hadn’t really thought about it that much.

“Well, let’s forget about it. After all, he’s an immortal, not someone us mortals can easily meet.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled softly, “You’re quite self-aware.”

Even if they wanted to meet the old immortal, she couldn’t get an old immortal to come out and meet them.

“Hurry up and transport the food out of the warehouse. Let the soldiers in the city eat and drink their fill. Then, prepare to attack the Ge Kingdom’s army with the army led by my husband tomorrow.”

The deputy general’s attention was indeed diverted. “Shall we fight tomorrow?”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Dragging it out for too long might not be advantageous for us. What we want is to catch them off guard.”

The deputy general did not speak. Instead, he looked at the Third Prince.

Obviously, he was the only one who had the right to speak here.

Liang Hengxiao recovered from his shock. “Xiao Hanzheng’s arrangement should be fine. I will listen to Princess Fubao.”

The deputy general and the others had been besieged in the city by Ge Kingdom recently. They had been holding their breaths for a long time. “Yes, we will go and make preparations now.”

Then, Shi Qingluo and the Third Prince returned to their room.

“Don’t let the Ge Kingdom’s commander know that I’ve successfully delivered the food,” she said. “The spy who sent the news to Ge Kingdom, your people are keeping an eye on him, right?”

The Third Prince nodded. “Imperial Uncle has arranged for someone to keep an eye on them. Recently, he deliberately did not intercept any news. He saved it for critical moments.”

“Should we arrest him directly or spread false news?” he asked.

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. “Just capture him and let the Ge Kingdom’s commander figure it out himself.”

This also had the effect of disrupting the Ge Kingdom’s commander’s battle strategy.

Moreover, the other party would probably send people to keep an eye on the small city today to see if anyone sent supplies over. It would instead distract them.

Liang Hengxiao did not object. “Alright.”

“Were you also betrayed by the people around you?” Shi Qingluo looked at him and asked.

Liang Hengxiao sighed. “Yes, I didn’t expect the maid I brought from the capital to betray me.”

He had been drugged by a maid, and when he was fighting against Ge Kingdom, he was suddenly poisoned and injured. He was rescued by the deputy general and the others and sent back to this border town.

After that, he fell unconscious, and the border town was soon surrounded by Ge Kingdom.

“Have you found out why they poisoned you?” Shi Qingluo asked curiously.

Logically speaking, after serving him for so many years, she should be loyal.

Unless she was a spy planted to be by the Third Prince from the beginning, which was very likely.

“Yes,” Liang Hengxiao replied. “She’s someone that the previous dynasty’s forces arranged to be by my side.”

“I suspect that it’s not just me. My other brothers also have people arranged by the previous dynasty.”

“When the danger of the border town is resolved, quickly send a letter back and let the emperor investigate it carefully,” Shi Qingluo agreed.

The hidden dangers left behind by the previous dynasty were quite big, and they had to be eliminated.

Liang Hengxiao nodded. “I think so too.”

He looked guilty. “It was my mistake this time. I was poisoned and fainted, causing the morale of the army to fall apart and the elites to be trapped.”

Shi Qingluo did not comfort him. “It’s really your mistake this time.”

“Third Prince, you are too emotional. This is not what a governor of the northern borders should do.”

“Moreover, since we’re here to fight, we shouldn’t use unnecessary maids.”

These princes were used to being served, so wherever they went, they would bring their personal maids.

The Third Prince seemed to be a little emotional about the matter of the his former wife. If this was an ordinary person, it would naturally be nothing.

But it is not acceptable for a commander stationed at the border. Such emotional impulsiveness can be easily exploited by enemy countries, as demonstrated in this recent incident.

“I will change,” Liang Hengxiao said after a moment of silence.

After experiencing the betrayal of his wife and his trusted maid, coupled with the pain of being tortured during his coma, his heart hardened.

Shi Qingluo looked at him and knew that he would change a lot after this incident.

Although growing up was cruel, he had a heavy responsibility as long as he was the governor of the northern border.

He was responsible for the safety of so many people.

“Can I command the battle tomorrow?” Shi Qingluo asked.

Although she was not good at fighting, she had a tacit understanding with her little husband.

Moreover, he had told her what she had to do to better cooperate with him.

The Third Prince was stunned at first, then he thought for a moment and said, “Alright!”

“The lives of the soldiers in the city and mine are all in your hands,” he said, expressing his trust.

He had heard what happened after Xiao Hanzheng came to the border.

Since Xiao Hanzheng was good at leading troops, he must have told Shi Qingluo some strategic plans.

Moreover, he had just woken up and his body had not recovered yet, so he could not put on his armor and go into battle personally.

In addition, he had seen Shi Qingluo’s master’s miraculous abilities with his own eyes. He felt that she was just like what the others had said. She was here to save everyone and was trustworthy.

Therefore, letting Shi Qingluo command was indeed a better choice.

This was what Shi Qingluo liked about the Third Prince. He would not be conceited just because of his status and would give others trust and respect.

She cupped her fists at Liang Hengxiao. “I will definitely not disappoint you!”

Soon, the deputy general and the others transported the bags of grain out.

Other than food, there was also a lot of canned meat.

There were still a few bags of medicinal herbs. Shi Qingluo asked the deputy general and the others to boil them for the soldiers to drink first. This was to prevent the soldiers from suddenly having a stomachache because they had not eaten greasy food for a long time.

Seeing this, the deputy general and the others could not help but sigh. Princess Fubao was really too thoughtful.

This canned meat could replenish the soldiers ‘strength so that they could fight better tomorrow.

The deputy general handed these to the soldiers who had been starving for two days.

The miscellaneous grain steamed buns were enough to fill their stomachs, and everyone was given a bowl of canned meat. The soldiers could not help but wolf down the food first.

After eating, the originally listless people became energetic.

Previously, they had been prepared to be slaughtered by the Ge Kingdom’s army and had fallen into despair.

But now, because of Princess Fubao, the hope and motivation to live had been rekindled.
