C104

The emperor was in a dilemma. "You were just excited for a moment, this matter …"

"Your Majesty, this old beggar used her seniority to put on a show and disregarded the dignity of the imperial family. This is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven." Prime Minister Guo stared at Old Lady Feng with hatred, wishing that she could die here.

For the crime of great disrespect, the light ones are exiled from their homes, and the heavy ones are executed in their entire family.

Old Madam Feng was trembling with anger as she knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, there have been over a hundred members of our Iron family who have died in the past thirty years. Now there are widows in our family and we are trying our best to keep them locked up. "The Iron family has long disregarded life and death. Our Tie family is loyal to the common people, worthy of our country. Even if the emperor does not send troops and food, our Tie family will still go to the battlefield and die with the Iron family!

When the civil and military officials saw this, they were all moved. They all kneeled down and begged the Emperor to send reinforcements to adjust the rations.

The emperor thought for a while about letting the old lady get up, and on behalf of the late grandpa, he forgave her for dishonoring her, but he still punished her with three months of salary as a sign of the emperor's might.

After that, he decided to transfer 50,000 reinforcements from the western Qingyang Army to the army through consultation with the vice minister of the military. He would allocate 100,000 stones for the food and forage.

In order to compensate the Prime Minister Guo who had lost face, the Emperor bestowed a thousand taels of silver to him. Although Prime Minister Guo was unhappy in his heart, he could do nothing about it. Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he silently swallowed it down.

After Matriarch Feng beat up Prime Minister Guo in the main hall, the eunuchs in the inner court immediately spread the news. In the Iron family's loyal home, there were plenty of people who wanted to help them out, so they had to prepare themselves in case something happened. Everyone in the palace knew that Prime Minister Guo was the father of Imperial Concubine Guo.

When the news travelled back to the Hou Mansion, Old Lady Wang and the other aunties did not even have the mood to eat lunch. Yue Ying was so hungry that she felt uncomfortable, Cai Yun quietly went back to the Old Lady Wang and was seen by Zhou Guizhi.

Yue Ying was not picky either, she had to eat her fill first.

Murong Yuntong was a little upset, she was used to eating mutton and drinking horse milk, so she had to change it at home. The food was not right, she just randomly ate a little, to fill her stomach.

The other people were the same, after the meal, only Yue Ying was full.

After she had eaten her fill, she saw that everyone was looking for a solution to the problem of Old Lady Feng, so she could not help but say, "So what if we beat you up, I'm afraid it's too late. Rather than frowning and worrying, why not think of a way to solve the problem of Locked Yang Pass lacking food?"

Old Lady Wang nodded his head, "Do you have any good methods?"

It's just that I was thinking about why the Chiron could rob us, so why can't we rob the Chiron? We can't look for an opportunity to rob them without food! Do you have to fear the lack of food to sustain a war? " Yue Ying laughed.

Her eyes lit up, but it was Murong Yuntong who got anxious, "You really are a bandit, you revealed your identity just like that, Chiron has so many people, how can you have so many people?"

Yue Ying did not notice that she used "you" and not "us" as she said, and argued, "It is difficult to travel on the road first, even if the imperial government were to allocate the rations, it would be difficult to reach there within the stipulated time. Either the General Gens would be close by to prepare the rations, or only be able to snatch from the Chiron, regardless of what horses or horses they use, as long as they get the rations, they would be able to solve the problem of a portion of the lack of rations, which is the fastest way.

Murong Yuntong was extremely excited as she shouted, "You're courting death!"

Everyone looked at Murong Yuntong's reaction in shock.

Only now did Murong Yuntong realize that she was in the loyal Hou Mansion, not the big tent of the Chiron.

She calmed her emotions and said gently, "What she said was too risky. She is basically sending people to their deaths."

Everyone nodded, Yue Ying did not say anything, but everyone's eyes were still on her, as though they were waiting for her to speak.

Yue Ying laughed politely: "I only know that Ma Bi Man runs very fast, and that sending food to the frontlines is definitely a waste of time, when the food arrives and the pass is broken, sending food would be equivalent to sending an enemy. I object."

No one objected to her words, but Murong Yuntong clenched her handkerchief tightly and kept on cursing at Yue Ying with her head lowered. Since it was like this, she would buy the animals, the donkeys and horses were all accepted. Over ten thousand people wouldn't be able to eat much, so there were four hundred of them that could be eaten for a few days, and each of them could also eat some food, so that they could at least delay the arrival of the reinforcements from the imperial court.

So the Old Lady Wang called Chang Quan over and instructed him, "Go buy some animals first, as long as the donkeys and horses are here, we can raise some ourselves. After this battle, we can go, besides, nothing is as important as our lives, as long as the children can return safely, our family's wealth is worth it even if it is all gone."

Chang Quan immediately brought his servants to the horse market, and bought 200 donkeys, 50 horses and a hundred mules. He spent a total of more than 10,000 silver.

This was not a small amount. One third of East Palace's savings had disappeared in an instant.

Old Lady Wang also got people to collect some of the animals in West Mansion's Villa, and made up over a hundred. The other young mistresses also brought out some, which added up to around six hundred.

When Old Lady Feng returned to her residence, she could see that everyone was busy up and down, and only after asking did she find out that it was Lady Yue's idea. She was afraid that the food flow would be slow, so she rushed the animals to the front lines.

Old Lady Feng nodded her head, looking at Yue Ying who was pleasing to the eye.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, the first thing he did was to count the soldiers.

The old lady had personally changed into her military uniform. This time, she did not need her own people to escort the provisions, because she had beaten up the Prime Minister Guo in the Imperial Court, and was most afraid that someone with the surname Guo would mislead her during this critical time. She also needed to send someone to inform the little girl that the Surveillance would be careful of that person.

Yue Ying followed the old lady to the drill grounds. This was the first time she saw an ancient soldier parade himself, so Old Lady Wang gave her a set of armor. In the end, she blinded everyone's eyes.

In the evening, all the servants from different villages had come. Among them, one of them was almost seventy. He had even rushed over with his two grandsons on his iron spear.
