Chapter 127 Old Friend



Chapter 127 Old Friend

"Supplies? No, no, how come so much news suddenly popped up?"

Although she was happy to see her friend, Yun Yuke was overwhelmed by the sudden exposure of so much information that she was in a state of confusion.

"Ling, don't say anything yet, wait a moment. We're outside, we need to prepare a little."

The group is currently stationed at another location within Cangnan Town. This happens to be the same restaurant where Yun Yuke had eaten last time she visited.

Zhu and Xing, along with a small group of constables from Changgan City, continued their journey without staying with the flying caravan. Even so, the area was not necessarily absolutely safe.

Zhu Ling paused for a moment, and only spoke after Yun Yuke had activated the concealment talisman and everything was arranged.

"Sister Yun, after you and Qingqing left, General Yue Zhen of the Flying Car Team handed me a secret decree: His Majesty sent them here this time, ostensibly to support and protect the border trade, but in reality, they are taking advantage of the internal turmoil and unrest in Uro to directly attack and occupy Uro. Therefore, they brought a lot of food and supplies, originally intending to replenish their supplies and appease the people immediately after the victory."

“Hmm.” Yun Yuke simply nodded. Her younger brother, Yun Ruihe, had mentioned this before they came, and she agreed with this speculation.

"The situation inside Uro is very chaotic. His Majesty has been receiving reports from his spies in Uro. Since the young emperor ascended the throne, Uro has been quite turbulent, especially with that Prime Minister Long."

"So when Prime Minister Long began to target the other ministers of the Senate, the Emperor's spies had already relayed the news to the capital. That's why the flying convoy arrived so quickly. They also brought a lot of provisions with them, not just for the army, but also the first batch of provisions for later resettlement."

"But this entire batch of supplies was burned on the day we set off," Xing Xiaoyu added.

"Who did it?"

"We don't know either. The messenger was killed and the supplies were burned. The battle at the front can't be delayed. Fortunately, the food reserves inside Changgan City are still sufficient. The residents of the city can survive and the army can march. It should be able to hold out for a while."

Zhu Ling's tone was full of exhaustion.

"Now we just hope to end the war as soon as possible, even if it's just a temporary ceasefire or some other outcome, so that we can mobilize more supplies from other places."

Yun Yuke changed her mind and exchanged a glance with her daughter.

Yunji has a large amount of grain and fodder.

Yun Qingjin looked at her mother. In the past five years, her mother had never stopped acquiring farms and building granaries and grain shops, and had all kinds of grains stored up.

Only Yun Yuke and Yuan Chen know the exact number of estimates.

“Mother…” Yun Qingjin opened her mouth slightly, looked up and saw Yun Yuke shaking her head slightly.

Yun Yuke did indeed have grain in her possession. In order to ensure that there was a grain supply in various places, the granaries were built in a decentralized manner when they were built, and the grain storage in each place was just enough for local sales.

"The key issue is that it's now clear that someone in this area has ill intentions. Who exactly attacked the messenger and burned the supplies?"

Xing Xiaoyu said, "If we don't catch the person behind this, even if we bring in new grain, it probably won't be enough."

"Do you really have absolutely no information or intelligence about this matter?" Yun Yuke changed the subject.

Zhu and Xing both shook their heads.

"General Gu Tinghui, who was in charge of receiving the supplies, only said that there was a surprise attack in the middle of the night. The attackers were very familiar with the terrain. One side arranged for people to set fires, while the other side arranged for people to distract the guards."

"Gu Tinghui?" Now it was Yun Qingjin's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, Gu Tinghui is the deputy of Xie Changyuan, the Marquis of Changxing, who led the troops this time. The Marquis of Changxing trusts him very much, which is why he entrusted the task of escorting the grain to this young general. They also suffered many casualties among the soldiers they brought with them."

Gu Tinghui? Xie Changyuan?

Five or six years have passed, and when Yun Qingjin heard those two names again, she trembled inexplicably.

Yun Qingjin lowered her head, moved to Yun Yuke's side, and tightly clutched the hem of her clothes.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Zhu Ling had never seen the little girl like this before, so he quickly went over to her.

Yun Yuke didn't know what was going on either, but thinking about it carefully, if Marquis Changxing was this child's relative, perhaps there was some unknown bond in their blood ties.

No, this child's family doesn't want him/her.

Moreover, the Marquis of Changxing is currently nearby. Even if Yun Yuke is not worried about her child being recognized, she still needs to be on guard.

"Ling, Miss Xiaoyu, Qingqing has been helping to take care of the wounded these past few days. She might be exhausted. Why don't we let her go back and rest?"

"No problem, I've arranged a room for you upstairs, it'll be absolutely comfortable."

This restaurant already had many empty rooms, and the living conditions were much better than before.

Yun Yuke helped Yun Qingjin back into the room. The two of them didn't bother to change their clothes or anything and went straight to lie down on the couch.

“You’ve grown up. I remember when you were little, I could pick you up with one hand. Now, I can’t carry you anymore.”

"Mom, I haven't gained weight recently."

"Oh, just kidding. You're so small, you could eat a lot more."

The two smiled, then fell silent for a while.

"Mother, when can we leave?" After waiting a little while, Yun Qingjin mumbled, her voice coming from the darkness.

"Qingqing, don't you want to stay here?"

Yun Qingjin remained silent for a while.

"Yeah, I don't want to stay here anymore."

“Then let’s go back. Now that we have your status as Teacher Zhu as our backer, the town shouldn’t stop us. We’ll go find your Teacher Zhu first thing tomorrow morning.”

"it is good."

After waiting a while, Yun Qingjin asked again.

"Mother, aren't you going to ask me why I don't want to stay any longer?"

"So, Qingqing, what do you want to say?"

Yun Yuke was actually very curious about why her daughter was like this, since she had never seen a child like this before.

But now that the child is older, we can't force her to talk all the time. If she wants to talk, we'll listen; if she doesn't want to, that's fine too.

"Hmm...I...haven't thought about it yet." Yun Qingjin bit her lip. "Mother, if I tell you that I remembered the names of those two people in my dream, and that I'm very afraid of them, will you believe me?"

"Yes. Of course, I believe everything you say."

Yun Qingjin turned to the side and hugged her mother.

"Thank you, Mother. Thank you for always believing in me."

"We're mother and daughter, of course I trust you. Go to sleep, you haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days."

Yun Qingjin drifted off to sleep.

It has been a long time since I recalled anything from my past life.

Now, when I suddenly dream of it again, I can't help but feel a little disoriented, as if it were a lifetime ago.

Things from my past life have become much more blurry.

In the past, I would dream about things I was unwilling to accept, but in this dream, I was more like an observer.

When I dream about those unlucky things again, I won't feel too confused anymore.

You guys go ahead and make your fuss, what does it have to do with me?

Anyway, they've already hurt me once.

You can't hurt me in this lifetime.
