Chapter 145 Nervous
When they arrived at one of the granaries, they saw that the granary, which was supposed to be empty, was actually full of rice.
When they saw this, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide, thinking they were hallucinating.
The two people walking in front subconsciously glanced at each other, and then slapped each other in the next second.
The two men covered their faces, looked at each other, then looked at the rice, and the next moment they rushed forward, grabbed a handful of rice from the bag and stuffed it into their mouths.
As the rice entered their mouths, they finally believed that this was not an illusion, much less a dream. The rice in front of them was real, so they all carried the rice and ran towards the fire room, shouting as they ran...
"We have food, we have food, white rice..."
Although this amount of food was just a drop in the bucket for an army of 200,000, it was at least a full meal for those who had been hungry for many days.
At first, several people were a little confused. They wondered why the general didn't tell them that they had collected the food. But now it didn't matter. What they had to do now was to make sure the entire army had a full meal first.
In this way, if the Dongli soldiers came to attack the city again, they would not be in the situation like today, unable to resist and suffering heavy losses.
Because a few firemen were running towards the fire room while carrying rice and shouting, many soldiers also heard it. Hearing that there was food to eat, everyone became excited, thinking that the court's food had arrived, so their originally dim eyes suddenly lit up.
Inside the tent, Nangong Yuan was just about to tell Han Yiyi to leave first when he heard everyone outside the tent excitedly saying that they had rice and could have a full meal today. Hearing this, Nangong Yuan couldn't help but frown.
No one knew better than him that there was no way to have food now, but he also knew that the soldiers would not take this as a joke.
But when he saw the grain piled in the warehouse, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He had been to this place countless times, even before Dongli attacked the city yesterday. But at that time, this place was still empty, so empty that it made people feel uneasy. But now, in just one night, how could there suddenly be so much rice?
Looking at the rice in front of him, Nangong Yuan suddenly thought that Han Yiyi came to this granary today. Could it be that she...
Thinking of this, Nangong Yuan suddenly had a scene of himself at Han Yi's house before in his mind.
Because he had done a lot of ridiculous things after being hit on the head, Nangong Yuan didn't want to think about it. Now he thinks there is something strange about it.
He knew that he had been poisoned before, and that the poison was made by Dongli's poison doctor. There was no antidote at all, but it was cured by Han Yiyi, a peasant girl.
Furthermore, later on, Han Yiyi was tricked by her mother into drinking an aphrodisiac. At first, there were clear signs of the effects of the Chinese medicine, but after a while, the symptoms disappeared inexplicably.
Thinking of this, even now, a trace of unnaturalness still flashed across Nangong Yuan's face.
Looking at the tens of thousands of kilograms of rice in front of him, Nangong Yuan's eyes were dim and unclear. He knew that these foods, although they solved the urgent problem.
However, if the food and fodder from Kyoto does not arrive in time, Yanlang City will still not be able to be defended. After all, even if these foods are used sparingly, they can only last for two or three days at most.
Inside the tent, Nangong Yuan looked at Han Yiyi opposite him and suddenly spoke.
"Today, tens of thousands of kilograms of grain suddenly appeared in the granary for unknown reasons..."
When Han Yiyi heard Nangong Yuan suddenly mention the matter of food, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he spoke in a relaxed manner.
"Really? That's great! This way the soldiers won't have to fight on an empty stomach..."
After Nangong Yuan finished speaking, he stared at Han Yiyi, so he did not miss the nervousness that flashed in her eyes. He pondered for a moment and continued speaking.
"Yes, I don't know who sent it, but it helped us out of our urgent need," Nangong Yuan said, then looked at Han Yiyi again, and seeing that she still had her eyes down, he continued.
"However, that amount of food can only feed the soldiers for two days at most. If the food and fodder from the capital doesn't arrive in time, I'm afraid Yanlang City will still be breached. After the city is breached, given the temperament of the Zhaodongli people, I'm afraid they will directly massacre the entire city..."
In fact, Nangong Yuan's words were meant to force Han Yiyi, but he had no choice. He couldn't watch his soldiers lose their lives and watch Yanlang City being breached. Therefore, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to fight for it.
Besides, his words were not alarmist. According to the character of the Dongli people, as long as Yanlang City was captured by them, they would definitely massacre the entire city.
Han Yiyi listened to Nangong Yuan's words and suddenly looked up at the person opposite her. At this time, Nangong Yuan was also looking straight at her.
When their eyes met, Han Yiyi knew that the person in front of her had already determined that she was the one who put the food there.
The moment Han Yiyi decided to exchange the food, she knew that she would be exposed sooner or later. However, she did not expect that Nangong Yuan would identify her so quickly, so she spoke.
"Um, I..."
"Yi Yi, let me take you somewhere..."
Han Yiyi was interrupted by Nangong Yuan before she could finish her words.
Hearing Nangong Yuan's words, Han Yiyi was a little confused. Weren't they talking about food? Why did he suddenly want to take her somewhere else?
But the next second, Han Yiyi looked at Nangong Yuan with horror. This guy, he, he wouldn't want to "kill for money". Look, look, you will know that the man is innocent but guilty of possessing the treasure...
Nangong Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Yiyi's expression, and he knew that she had misunderstood.
However, seeing her expression, he was more certain that Han Yiyi was not an ordinary peasant girl, and that the food must have come from her hands...
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you..."
Han Yiyi looked at the person opposite her with a serious expression on his face, and couldn't help but think that with his kung fu and status, if he really wanted to do something to him, he probably wouldn't have to go to other places.
So she nodded slightly, but her nervousness could still be seen from her uneasy eyes.
Han Yiyi felt even more uneasy when he saw that Nangong Yuan actually took him out of the city on horseback.
Looking at the trees on both sides, Han Yiyi couldn't help but grab the horse's mane as he ran back quickly.
Perhaps Han Yiyi was too strong and the horse felt pain, so it raised its head to express its protest.
Han Yiyi was already nervous, and the horse's sudden tilt of its head startled her so much that she almost fell off.
Fortunately, Nangong Yuan behind him held him in his arms. The horse was going so fast that if he fell off, he would probably lose his life.
"Don't be afraid, relax..."
Nangong Yuan naturally felt the nervousness of the person in his arms, but he thought that Han Yiyi was worried about falling off because the horse was going too fast, so he couldn't help but hold the person tighter.
