Cao Ruishen wiped his face, cheered himself up, and asked Wen Sheng to collect and arrange all the food and fodder, and then he went back to change his clothes.
When it was evening, Wen Sheng came over and replied to him: "Sir, everything has been done, we can change now."
Cao Ruishen nodded and took Wen Sheng to the place where the grain and grass were stored. When he saw a group of people had already started to move the grain and grass, his eyes flashed and he couldn't help but look at Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng naturally saw Cao Ruishen's eyes and laughed softly: "My Lord, do you want to ask me where these people came from?"
Cao Ruishen's eyes became deeper, and he shook his head: "No, I can see that these are not ordinary people, they should be from the military camp, right?"
He is a military commander himself, how could he not see through these people
Because of this, he couldn't help but be curious and shocked: "Mobilizing so many people and transporting food and grass, I can't believe that the local government didn't acquiesce. How powerful is the master behind you that he can even bribe the Yaozhou government? And Anhuazhou and Xundianfu..."
Wen Sheng put away the smile on his face and looked at Cao Ruishen steadily: "Your Excellency is wrong. They were not bribed by us, so how could the government be bribed?"
Accustomed to Wen Sheng's smiling and cautious appearance, seeing him suddenly change his face, even a shrewd and cunning person like Cao Ruishen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He looked at Wen Sheng with a bit of scrutiny involuntarily: "What, what did I say wrong?"
"Of course, my lord, you are wrong." Wen Sheng looked at the people who were carrying the goods gloomily and said coldly, "More than 170 years ago, they were already subjects of our lord. There is no need to bribe them. This is a matter of course."
More than one hundred and seventy years ago?!
Cao Ruishen was stunned for a moment, then he realized - more than 170 years ago, wasn't that the previous dynasty? !
Taizu founded the country more than 170 years ago...
These people are from the previous dynasty!
Cao Ruishen suddenly realized.
He finally understood why Mu Tong was willing to cooperate with people like Wen Sheng, and why Wei Desheng and others were willing to be driven around. It turned out that it was because they had such a big background behind them.
But... Cao Ruishen felt a little frightened. He had never heard of any dynasty being successfully restored. Sometimes, when the tide is over, it's over.
However, these thoughts were just in his mind. Cao Ruishen still looked shocked and sighed: "No wonder you cooperated with our chieftain. It turns out that you want to..."
Wen Sheng snorted, his face full of anger when he mentioned these things: "These traitors and villains should be killed by everyone! Mu Tong Tusi is just a man with vision, and the Tusi of Anhua Prefecture and Xundian Prefecture all understand the righteousness."
Cao Ruishen said no more. Seeing that the people had almost transported all the food, he nodded randomly and changed the subject: "So where is the food we want to transport now?"
Wen Sheng did not continue to speak. He glanced at the group of people and said to Cao Ruishen, "They will deliver it soon. It will be the same here as when we came. As long as we deliver it to His Highness, we can retire with our mission accomplished."
Cao Ruishen looked at the empty warehouse with a gloomy gaze, narrowed his eyes and nodded.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. No matter who the other party is, since Mu Tong has chosen them, he has no other choice.
After loading the food, Wen Sheng said goodbye to Cao Ruishen.
Cao Ruishen agreed indifferently, and as soon as he left, he turned around and went back to his room.
The room was fully prepared. Several aides were still waiting for him. They were a little worried when they saw him come in. Finally, several of them stepped forward and called him "Sir", and then asked hesitantly about Wen Sheng's background.
After all, they all realized it this time. Today's incident must have been handled so smoothly because of the intervention of the Yaozhou government.
But in this case, the origin of the temperature rise becomes even more confusing.
Cao Ruishen treated the remaining staff members much more friendly. He asked them to close the door and rubbed his brows: "Forget it, we don't need to care about his background. After all, the Mu Mansion also knows about them. This matter has nothing to do with us. We will not deal with them again in the future. Don't worry about it."
Seeing that Cao Ruishen was obviously aware of this and really knew Wen Sheng's origins, the others did not insist on it anymore. After all, they were just afraid that the person behind Wen Sheng had some plan, and even had a tacit understanding with the Mu Mansion. Even Cao Ruishen could not do anything about it.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and no more words were said.
Cao Ruishen just smiled and said to them: "Okay, everyone take a good rest tonight, we still have to travel early tomorrow morning."
So he sent them away.
On the other side, Wen Sheng had already found the man who came to transport the food and grass. He patted the man hard and said, "Mutuo! Is that you?"
Mutuo turned around and saw that it was Wensheng, and he smiled too: "Yes, this matter is too important. My brother was worried, so he asked me to come over to help. Is everything going well on your side?"
Wen Sheng frowned, but finally nodded and said, "Everything is going well for us for the time being. As long as we transport the grain and grass to Chuxiong Prefecture, we will be successful and retire."
Mutuo hummed and said, "Then take care of yourself. I have to go back and report."
Wen Sheng pulled him back: "By the way, have you seen Master Liu?"
Mu Tuo scratched his head, still with a simple and honest look on his face: "I haven't seen it, but I heard people mention it. It's said that the Sixth Master went to deal with the matter of the Mu Mansion, that is..." He lowered his voice: "It should be the matter of Miss Mu San and that bastard."
Wen Sheng seemed to be thinking about something.
But since he was sent by Mu Tong to help with this, there was nothing much to say. He bowed to Mu Tuo, thanked Mo Tuo, and let Mu Tuo go.
That night, Wen Sheng did not go back to find Cao Ruishen.
The next day, Cao Ruishen got up and led his men to continue delivering food to Chuxiong Prefecture. Because the most important things had been prepared, the journey was smooth. Six days later, they successfully arrived at Qingshui Town in Chuxiong Prefecture.
This is exactly where Xiao Heng and the others are now.
When he arrived at the place, Cao Ruishen naturally had to report, so he took people to ask for an audience with Xiao Heng.
He was still a little nervous. Although everything was ready, for some reason, when facing Xiao Heng, he still subconsciously felt a little nervous.
Xiao Heng must have been very busy. He waited in the tent nearby for a long time before he heard someone outside calling "Cao Ruishen".
