Qin Gentian's complexion changed suddenly. Ge Feng, as the person in charge of Yongding City, if something happened to him, the entire Yongding City would be lost. Once Yongding City was broken and the barrier between Nanyue and Xirong disappeared, the Xirong and Dongyao coalition forces would march straight in. What's more, Grandpa Huang was still there.
Thinking of this, Qin Gentian pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "No master, I'll set off for Yongding City immediately."
Xiao Ding has worked with Ge Feng for many years, and he has already treated him as a good brother. Seeing her willing to rescue him without thinking, his eyes were red with excitement, and he couldn't help but choked up and said, "Thank you, princess. I will thank you on behalf of Mr. Ge."
Although the imperial city is thousands of miles away from Yongding City, it is impossible to catch up from here.
But even if Ge Feng couldn't save him in the end, he still accepted Qin Geng's love.
"This subordinate will go with the princess!"
Xiao Ding said hurriedly.
"Alright, I'm not very familiar with that side."
Qin Geng nodded, thought about it, and thought of Gu Jiuxiao who was in the study. She couldn't leave without saying goodbye, so she turned her head and said to Xiao Ding, "Hurry up and prepare dry rations for the horses. I'll talk to the prince, and we'll go."
"yes!"
Xiao Ding quickly turned around to prepare.
Qin Gentiana quickly walked towards the study, and just after stepping into the door of the study, his nose smelled a little burnt smell, like the smell of burning cloth.
She shrugged her nose slightly, and felt that it was her own illusion.
"Why did Xiao Jiu come back?"
Gu Jiuxiao raised his hand and waved, and strode towards her with a smile, "Are you going to make a little princess with me?"
Qin Gentiana coughed heavily when he heard his nasty words.
"I'm going to Yongding City. Grandpa Huang was driven by the Xirong people and scratched Director Ge. I'm going to detoxify Director Ge..." Gu Jiuxiao's face changed slightly, "It was the Xirong people who kidnapped the emperor's grandfather."
Qin Gentile nodded and said hesitantly, "I suspect that it is also like that flute master who uses the sound of the flute to control zombies, not only for the sake of Manager Ge, but I also want to go and find out about it."
Although Gu Jiuxiao was a little worried about her safety, ever since he saw Master Yuande's foreshadowed fate to Gentiana Qin, he couldn't see her out of his sight, but Gentiana Qin had to go again now.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"No, you still have to stay in the imperial city and cooperate with Ah Yan to raise food. At that time, you will personally send food and grass to support, okay?"
Gu Jiuxiao's face darkened slightly, even though he was a little unwilling, but the overall situation was the most important thing, so he had to nod his head in agreement. Fortunately, he had sent all the hidden guards to protect Qin Gentian before that, which at least made him feel at ease.
After talking to Gu Jiuxiao, Qin Gentian and Xiao Ding hurried on the road to Yongding City, and in the dark, Thirteen Youwei followed cautiously.
As Gu Jiuxiao and the others expected, raising food was not easy.
The merchants in the imperial city really began to wait for the price.
They knew that there was a shortage of food on the front line, they knew that the court was short of food, and after they knew that more and more land was polluted by corpse poison and could no longer grow food crops, they began to tacitly store up food and not sell it, and only sold it when it was more suitable. Some even directly raised prices with a tough attitude.
Gu Yan had a headache, so he and Gu Jiuxiao had to forcefully expropriate at the original market price, which aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of merchants and courtiers.
But they didn't care about the interests of these small groups of people, so they forcefully confiscated a batch, and Gu Jiuxiao personally led the battle and sent them to Yongding City.
At this time, Yongding City had already run out of ammunition and food.
Ge Feng's chest, which was pierced by the Supreme Emperor, was festering badly, and his whole body showed an unusual high fever.
It is inevitable that the citizens of Yongding City will know how to shake the morale of the army, Ming Yang will personally take care of Ge Feng.
"Young master, this is your and General Ge's lunch today..." Xiao Bing carefully took two bowls of rice soup with clearly visible rice grains, plus a few hard and deformed buns, and brought them over. His face was sunken and disfigured due to starvation for more than ten days.
He is a person who has followed Ge Feng since Prince Ding's Mansion, and he is loyal to Ge Feng. Seeing Ge Feng's appearance, anxiety flashed in his eyes. He looked down at the food on the tray and felt a sense of despair filled his heart. With a murderous look in his eyes, he glanced at the clear soup and was silent for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there... no food in the city..." Xiaobing's smile faltered, and his expression was a little miserable.
Yongding City ran out of food a few days ago. Although they passed on the pigeons, there was still no food from the imperial city. There were countless people in the city who gnawed bark, ate Guanyin soil, and boiled leather. They had seen the ferocity of the zombies and the Xirong and Dongyao coalition forces, and they insisted on living and dying with Yongding City.
Ming Yang silently looked at the two bowls of soup with rice grains clearly visible, raised his hand to take a bowl, carefully broke the buns into pieces, soaked them in soup until soft, pressed them into Ge Feng's mouth little by little with a spoon, and poured the rice soup down for him with great effort. After feeding him well again, he took his own portion and used it.
"General, I heard that the rear battalion of Xirong and Dongyao's allied forces has brought in a new batch of grain and grass a few days ago. Mingyang plans to lead a death squad to rob the grain tonight. Even if the looting fails, we are ready to burn the enemy's grain and grass. You must persevere until the arrival of the princess and the grain and grass..." He whispered more and more quietly, and finally couldn't help the sadness in his heart.
Ming Yang looked up in embarrassment, stood up abruptly after a few breaths, and said to the soldier, "We are about to set off, and the general will leave it to you."
"yes!"
Seeing his figure fade away with reddish eyes, Xiaobing couldn't help calling out, "Little Lieutenant General..." Ming Yang stopped in his footsteps, and said in a shy voice, "Don't call me that, the general admits it, so you can call me that..." After he finished speaking, he hurried out the door, "All generals, follow me!"
