There was no use in her worrying.
Things on the battlefield were no joke. She knew nothing about war, and unlike the experience she could draw on from her previous life, she could not help at all. In this case, panicking would not help.
She quickly calmed down because she had been worried all these days, but when she received the news today, she felt relieved.
It can't get any worse, even if it does, it can't get any worse.
So she smiled softly and said to Madam Yuan: "Madam, don't worry, I understand everything."
How could Madam Yuan feel at ease? But at this moment, there was really no other way. There were really limited things they could do in this deep mansion. Even if Su Yao was as capable as she was, she was actually unique among women, but she could only go out with them and give them advice. Could she really go to war
She saw Su Yao's current mood and said no more. It was useless to waste words on such matters.
The atmosphere in the Governor's Office became gloomy, and everyone had a worried look on their face. It was easy to imagine that although Yunnan had been at war intermittently since the time of Taizu, this was the first time that the Crown Prince personally led the troops.
If the crown prince really died in Yunnan, the morale of the imperial court would be greatly reduced, and if they were really attacked by Mu Tong... ...
The gentry in Kunming were in a state of panic and came to the Governor's Mansion every day to inquire about the news in a roundabout way.
Mrs. Liao was extremely annoyed, but in the current situation, she had to appease the people. Otherwise, if some gentry really took the lead in fleeing, the people in the city would be out of control.
She was so busy that one day, she heard that something happened to Ji Yunting while he was transporting grain. She couldn't help but feel dizzy and asked, "What happened to Master Ji?"
The last time the gentry were entertained, the Ji family was asked to help transport grain and fodder. This was because the Ji family was a large local merchant with abundant wealth and the willingness to help. Mrs. Liao was also aware of this matter and knew that the Ji family was indeed very concerned and had prepared all the grain and fodder possible. Ji Yunting even became a manager under the grain transport officer.
Because of this, if Young Master Ji’s death was caused by problems with transporting grain, then doesn’t that also mean... there is a problem with the grain as well
That was true. Mrs. Liao immediately felt her heart skip a beat and she became panic-stricken and short of breath.
The housekeepers below also heard the news from the housekeepers outside. They had no idea what was going on, and they just told Mrs. Liao in embarrassment that they heard they had to think of a new way to raise food and fodder.
It has always been the case that food and fodder must be sent before troops move out. If there is a problem with food and fodder, it will determine the success or failure of the war.
Mrs. Liao was silent for a long time, and then she squinted her eyes and let out a breath.
In the evening, after finally waiting for Master Liao to come back, Madam Liao immediately chased him and asked, "Master, what's going on with the food and grass? How did Young Master Ji get into trouble?"
Liao Jingxu also had a serious look on his face. He rubbed his brows and shook his head: "No matter how it happened, it has happened. Now we have selected someone else to mobilize food and grass."
That means the injury is probably very serious.
Mrs. Liao felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She took a deep breath and shook her head: "When we were in the Black Mountain Camp, I saw that Your Highness was very brave and resourceful. Could it be that..."
Could it be that it only works on one's own family
That's really...
Even Mrs. Liao had to wonder if His Highness was really out of luck, otherwise, how could he have suffered such a crushing defeat
Lord Liao didn't have the energy to think about what Madam Liao was thinking. He just rubbed his brows, changed his clothes, and was in a hurry to go out: "Something happened to Ji Yunting, and the grain transport officer Cao came here in person. I have to go meet him first."
Mrs. Liao knew that there was no time to waste, so she nodded quickly and said, "Just go ahead. I'll take care of the rest."
After seeing Lord Liao off, Mrs. Liao sighed, thought for a while and decided to go to Su Yao's yard.
Su Yao's yard was very quiet, probably because she had heard the news that Xiao Heng was shot by an arrow. Even Madam Yuan was not here. When she entered the yard, she saw Yan Cao cutting something under the grape rack, so she smiled and said, "Miss Yan Cao, is the county lady here?"
Yancao was cutting fruit. Hearing this, she stood up quickly and said, "Yes, yes. I'm reading in my room."
He could actually concentrate on reading at this time. Mrs. Liao was a little surprised. She let Yan Cao lift the curtain and went in. Sure enough, she saw Su Yao leaning on the chair by the south window reading a book.
Seeing Madam Liao coming over at this time, Su Yao raised his eyebrows and immediately guessed that there must be news from the front: "Madam, is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Liao carefully told the story of Ji Yunting's injury.
Su Yao frowned as expected.
The transportation of grain and fodder is a matter of great importance. The safety of grain and fodder officers has always been of paramount importance, and their whereabouts are kept confidential. The Ji family has been doing business for so many years, they should have known about this long ago. Moreover, the person who went to transport the grain and fodder was Ji Yunting, who was undoubtedly the next generation head of the Ji family. It can be seen how much importance the Ji family attaches to this, and one can also imagine how strict the Ji family's protection would be.
But even so, Ji Yunting was injured, and the grain officer had to come back in person to raise grain and grass.
Something in her heart was stirring, but she remained calm: "If something happens to the Ji family, what about the food?"
"Lord Cao has returned and is now in the front yard. Lord Cao is discussing with him that there must not be any mistakes regarding the food and fodder." Mrs. Liao was also very tired. Despite her tiredness, she subconsciously wanted to talk to Su Yao about the matter.
Here at Su Yao, you can always hear different analyses, and it also makes people feel at ease.
This time, Su Yao did not say anything like "nothing will happen". She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted for help outside.
Mrs. Liao was a little surprised: "What is the county lady going to do?"
"I have some doubts and want to confirm it." Su Yao smiled and didn't say much. He just said to Mrs. Liao, "Madam, I don't believe that things can go so wrong. Although I don't know the situation at the front, I think that since I haven't heard of any generals getting into trouble and haven't heard of any major defeat, the situation should not be that urgent."
Mrs. Liao blinked her eyes. "You mean... someone deliberately spread this news to cause panic among the people?"
Su Yao smiled but said nothing.
What's so strange about this
When Xiao Heng first came to Yunnan, Mu Tong was able to plan the affairs of the post station. Later, Bai Qiye and others came along. Bai Qiye is still an official in the Ministry of Justice. He may not find out anything through interrogation, but some things do not need to be interrogated in the first place.
