Chapter 1031: Chapter 869, Malicious Intentions

"This time’s food supply is even larger than the last!"

Zhang Da noticed an extra cart of food and immediately broke into a wide smile.

Perhaps it was the news of porridge distribution in Ganzhou City that had reached them, as the number of refugees arriving lately had been steadily increasing; each day’s consumption of food was not a small figure.

Deshou said, "The amount of food is still the same; the extra cart is loaded with medicinal herbs."

On hearing this, Zhang Da was startled at first, then dashed to the cart, opened the bags, and upon confirming that they were indeed filled with medicinal herbs, he was overjoyed. He laughed until his eyes filled with tears.

Deshou had recently spent time distributing porridge alongside Zhang Da, had heard much of his backstory, and knew he had lost his parents shortly after birth, growing up on alms through the streets. He held deep feelings for the people of the Gan State Guard territory, and stepped forward to pat Zhang Da on the shoulder.

"Don’t worry, with the Princely Heir and the Crown Princess here, they won’t neglect the people outside the city," he said, gesturing towards several Medical Disciples nearby.

"Look, all these are physicians, and they’ll soon join us at the city gates to assist."

There were not many doctors in Xiliang, and realizing more were accompanying them, Zhang Da quickly took the horse reins from a Medical Disciple: "I’ll handle the horse cart."

Seeing this, Deshou shook his head: "Let’s hurry, it’s almost time for the porridge distribution, and if we’re late, there might be trouble outside."

Zhang Da nodded hastily, pulled the horse cart along with Deshou, and as they exited the main gate, he glanced back at the plaque of the Xiao Residence.

"Lord Governor needs to stay longer in Xiliang."

Clearly, Zhang Da also believed that Xiao Yeyang, being the Prince Residence’s Princely Heir, would soon leave Xiliang.

...

Inside the residence, Guyu and Lixia had finished checking all the supplies and handed the list to Daohua.

After reviewing it, Daohua couldn’t help but frown.

She had come well-prepared, and the items they brought were adequate for usage solely within the Xiao Residence.

However, now that some food was to be allocated to assist disaster victims, and Xiao Yeyang had also used some, there was suddenly a shortage.

After considering for a moment, Daohua went to her study, quickly came out with a note, and went to the front courtyard to find a Hidden Guard who kept hawks, handing him the note: "Send the message back to Beijing."

The Hidden Guard said little, took the note, swiftly tied it to the hawk’s leg, and released the bird to fly.

Daohua estimated the time; the harvest from the Beijing estate this year had not been sold, and once Xiaoliu received the news, she should be able to organize the food supplies quickly though the delivery might only be possible by next February.

Daohua returned to her room to review the supply list again, calculated once more, and seeing that careful use could last until next year when the food arrived, she was relieved.

...

Liangdu, Commandant Office.

A rough-looking, bearded giant frowned plaintively at Wei Du, the Commander: "Sir, didn’t you say you’d appoint me as the Commander for Gan State Guard?"

Wei Hong had just seen one such burly man looking pitifully at him, almost like a woman, which made him twitch his lips slightly: "I had reported your appointment to the Imperial Court long ago, what can I do if they don’t approve it?"

Fan Tong’s face fell: "So, can I still become a Commander?"

Wei Hong looked at this stalwart warrior who had been following him, knowing his simplicity and feeling somewhat headache-stricken: "The position of Commander for Gan State Guard isn’t that easy to hold, have you forgotten how Old Zhou died?"

Fan Tong said, "It’s truly sad that Old Zhou died, but we are frontier generals, and guarding our territory is our duty. If one day I end up like Old Zhou, I am prepared for it."

"Here in Xiliang, every winter is the hardest. When the people of the Gan State Guard hear about the porridge distribution, they will definitely swarm there. I’m just waiting to see him make a fool of himself." _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
