Chapter 791 - 791: Domineering Xiaoxiao
“Grandpather, your armor is a little cold. Uh..
Only then did Qin Canglan realize that he had been too excited. His body was dirty and covered in the enemy’s blood. How could he rub blood on his precious granddaughter?
Su Xiaoxiao simply felt that it was so cold.
Qin Canglan reluctantly let go of his precious granddaughter and raised his hand to touch her head. “You’ve lost weight. Give me the helmet.”
“Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao gave him the heavy helmet.
Not far away, the two soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield whispered. They had participated in the failed robbery at the event location but were subdued by Su Xiaoxiao.
“Don’t you think Boss was a little cute just now?”
“Yes, yes.”
Wei Xun waited for the two of them and scolded them in a low voice, “Are the two of you crazy? Zhou Lie’s head is still hanging on the chariot. Who cut it off?
You or me?”
Wei Xun was a private advisor. His martial strength was average, so he did not charge forward. Instead, he prepared weapons and tools at the back, such as the special arrows and kerosene he had just used.
At first, when he robbed her, he only felt that she was very fearless and calm in the face of danger. Later on, he felt that she was rich and smart. Later on… she was not delicate and had a good backer… She was a little bold.
Until today…
Please accept their knees!
“Sigh, how suicidal was I to rob her back then…”
As Wei Xun touched his undamaged neck, he went to clean up the next battlefield in fear.
Qin Canglan looked at his travel-worn precious granddaughter in front of him. If he knew, how could he bear to let her suffer the hardships of marching and fighting?
“What’s going on? Didn’t you go to Western Jin? Where’s Wei Ting?”
He asked three questions in one breath.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later. Grandpa and the soldiers must be hungry? Eat something first.”
After saying that, she turned to an armored young man who was silently cleaning up the battlefield and said, “Jing Yi, get everyone to take out their dry rations first and distribute it to the soldiers in the city.”
Qin Canglan was surprised. Was Jing Yi here too?
Indeed, when they were fighting just now, this kid had been guarding his precious granddaughter. He thought that he looked a little familiar.
Qin Canglan asked, “You’ve already given it to us. What will you eat?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “I hoarded a lot of rations. Don’t worry, Grandpa. We don’t lack food. My people just lack sleep. They haven’t slept for too long and need to rest.’
“That’s easy.” Qin Canglan called Liu Ren over and asked him to bring Su Xiaoxiao’s army to the camp to rest and clean up the battlefield.
The soldiers in the city were only hungry. When they filled their stomachs, they would have the strength to work.
Jing Yi and Liu Ren reorganized the troops of both sides and handed them over one-on-one. They received their rations in an orderly manner.
Su Xiaoxiao was generous with her food. Not only did every soldier have steamed buns, but there were also pancakes, green onions, and a small piece of cooked cured meat.
When they opened the bag of rations and saw that there was meat inside, the eyes of the Zi Town soldiers widened.
They had not eaten meat for a month!
They had even forgotten what the meat soup tasted like!
“Is… is this something you can give?” a soldier asked. Are you sure you don’t want to keep it for yourself?
Wei Xun said generously, “Take it.”
If he followed Boss, there would be meat to eat!
After four days and four nights of hunger, the soldiers of Zi Town finally had a full meal. It was snowing. They sat in the blood-colored snow below the city gate and chatted and laughed. Many of their faces were dirty, and some of them had frostbite, but this harsh winter would no longer be difficult for them.
Qin Canglan waited until the last soldier received his food before taking the dry ration Jing Yi handed him.
He turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and realized that the little girl was already asleep in the corner of the city gate.
“After taking back Jia County last night, the battle just ended this morning. The army rested for four hours. She didn’t rest and was treating injuries. After that, she forced the army here without taking a break and started another battle.”
Jing Yi calmly recounted their experience on the way, but Qin Canglan’s heart skipped a beat. They fought overnight, forced the army, did not rest, and fought again. Even he and Lord Wu An did not dare to do this.
Qin Canglan looked at the army that Su Xiaoxiao had brought. Even the armor ana weapons were not umrorm. •rne armor was mecea togetner, DUL me morale she had condensed was invincible.
Qin Canglan’s heart swelled, and he did not know how to describe it.
He bent down and carried his sleeping granddaughter into the carriage. He brought her and Jing Yi back to Zi Town’s camp.
Su Xiaoxiao slept until the next morning.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar tent. Her armor had been removed. She moved her toes in confusion. “Eh?”
“You’re awake?”
Qin Canglan walked over and looked at her dotingly.
The serious marshal would only show such a gentle side in front of her. “Grandpa.” Su Xiaoxiao sat up. “Did I sleep for a long time?”
Qin Canglan said, “It’s still early. Why don’t you sleep a little longer? Forget it, you’re already awake. Eat something before sleeping.”
Speaking of food, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she had yet to take out the rations.
“Grandpa, wait for me.”
She secretly found a warehouse and moved out the rice and cured meat.
Fortunately, the pharmacy only liked gold. She moved half of these things herself. The pharmacy probably got impatient and threw her out with the rations.
That was good. It saved her trouble.
She clapped her hands and took a long breath. She lifted the curtain of the warehouse and Wei Xun and Zhang Yong looked at her in shock.
“Boss, why are you here?” Wei Xun asked.
Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. “I… count the rations!”
Wei Xun was surprised. “The provisions have arrived?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression didn’t change. “Yes, Fu Su got someone to send it over when you were sleeping.”
“I see.” Wei Xun nodded. “Boss, you’ve worked hard. Leave the counting of rations to me in the future.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Sure.”
She returned to Qin Canglan’s tent, and Wei Xun pulled Zhang Yong away.
Zhang Yong turned around and looked at the storeroom. “I clearly passed by here this morning. The storeroom was empty.”
Wei Xun said, “Then you must have seen wrongly! Let’s go, it’s time to train!”
When Su Xiaoxiao returned to Qin Canglan’s tent, Qin Canglan was repairing Su Xiaoxiao’s armor. Jing Yi was also there.
“Grandpa, Jing Yi.”
She greeted them.
Qin Canglan pointed at the stool opposite him. “Come and eat something.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and was slightly stunned when she saw the delicious food on the table. “Roasted rabbit?”
Qin Canglan said, “Jing Yi went out to get it. Eat it while it’s hot.”
Su Xiaoxiao tore off two rabbit legs. “Grandpa, Jing Yi, you guys eat too. I don’t want to eat alone.”
Qin Canglan smiled helplessly. “Alright, leave it there. I’ll eat it after repairing the armor.”
Su Xiaoxiao put one down and handed one to Jing Yi. “Jing Yi, eat it.”
“Oh.” Jing Yi took the rabbit leg.
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was extremely delicious.
Perhaps it was because she had consumed too much energy in the war, but her appetite had increased a lot recently.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Grandpa, I met Leng Kui yesterday. He came out of the barbican with 2,000 people. I don’t know what he went to do.”
At the mention of Leng Kui, a trace of coldness flashed across Qin Canglan’s eyes.
Taking away all the military rations caused so many soldiers to almost starve to death.
Qin Canglan let out a long sigh. “It’s a pity that the pass in Yao City is difficult. The Qin family’s army won’t be able to arrive for a while. Otherwise, I would have brought my troops over now and killed Leng Kui!”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Yao City?”
Qin Canglan nodded. “Mayor Yao, Dou Xiao, is Leng Kui’s trusted aide.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around as she silently took out Dou Xiao’s token and placed it on the table. “Dou Xiao has been killed.”
Qin Canglan was stunned. “…There’s also the guardian of Cloud Water Town, Quan Fei, and the county magistrate of White Crane County, Sun Peng… These places are all necessary routes to Zi Town. They’re all controlled by the Leng family…”
Su Xiaoxiao took out Quan Fei’s token, County Magistrate Sun’s official seal, and General Zhang’s military seal…
Qin Canglan gasped!
How many of Leng Kui’s trusted aides did she kill?
