Lin Jiao sat on Pei Yuan's horse and followed him toward the valley.
Xu Mian followed behind with the army that was going to transport grain.
The place Pei Yuan mentioned is one day's journey from the military camp.
It was already afternoon when they went there. Fortunately, the border was completely white at night, so it didn't affect their journey at all.
"Is it cold?"
Pei Yuan rode on the horse and wrapped Lin Jiao in his cloak.
"It's not very cold."
Lin Jiao shook her head. Pei Yuan was very hot. Being held by him like this was like having a warm baby on his back. He didn't feel cold at all.
"If you feel sleepy, just take a nap and I'll call you when you get there."
Pei Yuan said softly.
"Um."
Lin Jiao nodded, she was not sleepy now.
Pei Yuan and the others are very fast.
At midnight, we arrived at the valley that Pei Yuan mentioned.
"There is a large natural cave inside. You can go there and take out the food later, and then I will take them there."
Pei Yuan whispered to Lin Jiao.
"clear."
Lin Jiao got off the horse and followed Pei Yuan forward.
Xu Mian and others followed closely behind.
"How does the princess know there is a valley here?"
Xu Mian couldn't help but asked curiously.
Lin Jiao must have never been to the border, right?
"Xuanfeng told me."
Lin Jiao replied that this was what she had agreed with Pei Yuan before, and Xuanfeng also knew about this place.
"The food is in the cave ahead."
Lin Jiao saw the cave at a glance, let go of Pei Yuan's hand and walked towards the cave first.
Pei Yuan and Xu Mian walked behind with others.
The cave was very large, very empty and dry inside, and there was thick ice at the entrance. Lin Jiao walked in carefully, raised her hand and took out all the grain and some useful herbs in the warehouse.
The originally empty cave was instantly filled with things.
When Lin Jiao took the food, she walked a certain distance into the cave, so Xu Mian and the others did not notice it.
"Mr. Xu, Commander Xu, please come in quickly. The food is all here."
Lin Jiao came out, raised her eyebrows and said to Pei Yuan.
"When you came here just now, didn't you find any trace of anyone coming?"
How could there be no trace of transporting grain?
Pei Yuan nodded along with Lin Jiao's words.
This is what Xu Mian is most confused about, "How did the princess do it?"
"It's actually very simple. Didn't you see the thick ice at the entrance of the cave when you came in just now?
I had people pour water on it, and as for other traces, all the traces were covered under heavy snow overnight."
Lin Jiao explained.
"I see."
Xu Mian didn't know whether he believed it or not, but when he saw the food in the cave, Xu Mian's eyes lit up.
"There are medicinal herbs here. How does the princess know that we are also short of medicinal herbs?"
Xu Mian asked.
"I don't know, but when we raised food, people also raised some by the way."
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she returned to Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan did not let Xu Mian continue to ask questions, and ordered people to start transporting food out.
By the time the food was transported back, it was already evening the next day.
Back at the camp, Pei Yuan asked Xu Mian to count the food and took Lin Jiao back to the camp.
There was a fire in the tent and it was warmer than outside.
"I'll have someone bring some food over first. After you eat, you can rest first. I have other things to do, and I may have to wait until midnight to finish them."
"Just be busy, don't worry about me."
Lin Jiao didn't know what Pei Yuan was up to. She didn't understand the matter of leading troops to fight. She had already delivered the food. From now on, she would just be honest and not cause any trouble to Pei Yuan.
The food in the military camp is not very delicious, especially since there has been a recent shortage of food, so the meals cooked are all soupy and watery.
"It's a little light. I'll make some delicious food for you tomorrow."
Pei Yuan looked at the food in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.
His wife came to bring him food, but he actually let her eat something so clear and watery.
“It’s delicious.”
Lin Jiao was really hungry. She didn't care whether it tasted good or not and finished her portion of the meal very quickly.
Even if Pei Yuan and these soldiers could eat something, she wouldn't dislike it either.
"Go and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll go to the space to take a shower and then come back to sleep."
Lin Jiao said.
Pei Yuan knows that she likes to take a bath, and if conditions permit, she will take a bath every day.
"good."
Pei Yuan had dinner with Lin Jiao, watched her disappear, then turned around and left the camp, and told the guards outside, "The princess is resting inside. No one is allowed to disturb her. If anything happens, let her go to Military Advisor Xu."
Look for me in your tent."
"As commanded."
…
in space.
Lin Jiao put the newly mature grain into the warehouse and planted new seeds.
The more times she did it, the faster she did it, and she could complete it in just a few breaths.
After these were done, Lin Jiao went to look at the medicinal materials again. She picked all the herbs she could and put them in the warehouse.
After doing this, she went to take a bath in the pool downstream.
By the time she finished taking a bath, dried her hair and came out of the space, it was already an hour later.
Pei Yuan has not come back yet.
Lin Jiao followed him to transport food. She hadn't slept a wink all day and night, and she couldn't stand it any longer.
Without waiting for Pei Yuan, he climbed directly onto his bed, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.
There is a fire in Pei Yuan's tent, and two layers of quilts will not make people feel cold.
…
The other side.
Pei Yuan was discussing with Xu Mian and others how to deal a fatal blow to Beijiang.
"What do you mean by the prince and the military advisor to let us take advantage of their plan?"
someone asked.
Now everyone in northern Xinjiang thinks that the food sent by the princess has been stolen on the road, and they will run out of food in two days.
"good."
Xu Mian stroked his beard inexplicably and nodded.
"We don't need to do anything, we just need to create a panic that we will soon run out of food, and then set up an ambush in advance.
When the time comes, just wait for Northern Xinjiang to take advantage and become our prisoner."
If Lin Jiao hadn't secretly transported the food, they would never have thought of this plan.
If this plan succeeds, their princess will have the greatest credit.
After that, Pei Yuan discussed some details with everyone.
It was not until dawn that everyone came out of Xu Mian's tent.
When Pei Yuan returned to the camp, Lin Jiao was still awake. Her hair was scattered and she was huddled in the quilt. Her little face was flushed under the light of the fire, which was very cute.
Pei Yuan touched his hand and made sure it was not cold, then he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Lin Jiao's cheek.
"Mr. sir, don't make trouble, sleepy!"
Lin Jiao knew that Pei Yuan was back, but she was really sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes.
After saying that, she moved her body inside to make room for Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan was not in a hurry to go to bed. He didn't even bother to change his clothes. They were very dirty. His wife loved to be clean the most.
"Madam, please let me go to the space to wash up first, and I will sleep with you later."
