After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure-Chapter 655 - Maybe

655 Maybe

After eating and drinking, everyone started to care about the source of the food.

“Deputy General Jiang, did Princess Fubao send these grains and canned meat to us?” someone asked.

They had already heard that Princess Fubao had suddenly descended from the sky to save everyone today.

“That’s right.” Deputy General Jiang nodded. “These were specially prepared by Princess Fubao for everyone.”

Everyone was curious, so someone asked, “I only heard that Princess Fubao flew into the city, but I didn’t see anyone else fly in. How did these food and canned meat get transported in?”

Deputy General Jiang did not hide anything. “These were all sent in by Princess Fubao’s immortal master.”

He had asked before he left, and Shi Qingluo had asked him to just tell everyone the truth. This would also be more conducive to boosting morale.

Deputy General Jiang also felt that it made sense. Even he saw with his own eyes that the old immortal had helped to transport so many things over, he felt that good fortune would descend on their side.

After all, they had the protection of the old immortal.

As for why he thought so, didn’t he see that Princess Fubao was also in the city?

Would the old immortal see something happen to his precious disciple? It was absolutely impossible.

These words stunned all the soldiers present. “What? The old immortal sent it? How is this possible?”

“How is it impossible? We saw it with our own eyes,” Deputy General Jiang said proudly.

Then, he told her how Princess Fubao had asked the old immortal for help.

“At that time, I brought Princess Fubao to the empty storeroom. After a moment, when I opened it, it was filled with things.”

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that there was such a thing in the world.”

The soldiers beside him also said, “Yeah, we saw it too. It was unbelievable, but it was real.”

Seeing that they did not seem to be lying, the other soldiers were all shocked.

However, they still found it hard to believe.

Deputy General Jiang saw through everyone’s thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and said, “If it weren’t for the old immortal’s help, would the food and canned food you ate appear out of thin air?”

“You all know that apart from Princess Fubao who descended from the sky today, no one else flew over or entered through the city gate.”

With that said, everyone believed it.

That’s right. If it wasn’t for the help of the old immortal, how could these grains and canned food be transported in?

Moreover, Princess Fubao had flown into the city through the encirclement of Ge Kingdom during the day. How could she have done it without divine means?

“That’s great. This is our fate!”

“It’s all thanks to Princess Fubao. Otherwise, we would either starve to death in the city or be massacred by the Ge Kingdom soldiers who broke through the city.”

“Yes, yes. Princess Fubao has done us a great favor, and her old immortal master.”

“We also have the protection of the old immortal. We definitely won’t die this time.”

“That’s right, we might be able to turn this battle around.”

“Then let’s go out and fight. I’ve had enough of those bastards in Ge Kingdom.”

“Yes, yes, go out and kill them. After eating and drinking, I have plenty of strength.”

The originally doomed outcome now seems uncertain with the addition of Princess Fubao and the formidable old immortal behind her.

Deputy General Jiang saw that not only did everyone’s morale rise, but they also looked excited and full of fighting spirit.

“You still have a meal in the morning. After you finish eating, prepare to break out of the encirclement.”

“The battle tomorrow will also be commanded by Princess Fubao. You can’t go against military orders just because she’s a woman,” he warned.

If it was any other so-called princess, the soldiers would definitely not be convinced.

How could they listen to a woman’s command? But this was Princess Fubao, the disciple of the old immortal!

“Deputy General Jiang, don’t worry. With Princess Fubao commanding us, we have even more confidence in surviving. She has an old immortal behind her.”

“That’s right. I heard that her husband, Lord Xiao, is also very good at fighting. I believe that she won’t be bad either.”

“Moreover, if it weren’t for Princess Fubao flying over, we would have starved to death. How could we have a full meal and a bowl of canned meat?”

The burly men patted their chests and promised, “We will definitely listen to Princess Fubao’s commands.”

After eating and drinking to their fill, they no longer felt despair. Everyone began to laugh and joke.

“This canned meat is really f * cking delicious. Princess Fubao is too good to us.”

“It’s much better than those bastards from the Ministry of War. The military rations they sent are barely enough for one meal a day, not to mention the taste.”

“Should really let those people in the HQ see the difference between them and Princess Fubao.”

“Indeed, it’s mainly the Ministry of Revenue being too stingy. They keep cutting our military expenses.”

“Those old men at the Ministry of Revenue never do their job properly. They always target us. I haven’t received my military pay for two months.”

“That’s right. Those old guys are just eating for nothing.”

“If only Lord Xiao could be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Princess Fubao is a golden doll, and Lord Xiao is capable. With him there, the national treasury would be more abundant, and our military expenses wouldn’t be so heavily deducted anymore.”

“I also hope that Lord Xiao will go to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. If not, it’s also good if he goes to the Ministry of War!”

When Deputy General Jiang heard their words, he actually agreed with them in his heart.

The Emperor was concerned about the soldiers on the border, but the Ministry of Revenue was stingy. Every time they went to ask for military funds, they said they didn’t have any.

The provisions and military supplies prepared by the Ministry of War are indeed of inferior quality due to the lack of funding from the Ministry of Revenue.

He was just enjoying the taste of the steamed buns and canned meat, feeling satisfied, and even more so for the ordinary soldiers.

However, as they continued to talk, their discussions became more and more inappropriate, even starting to criticize government officials.

“Alright, don’t make things worse,” he immediately said with a stern face.

He actually hoped that Lord Xiao would go to the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War in the future. It would definitely be better than the current Minister of Revenue or Minister of War.

If he could make it out alive, he would reveal the thoughts of the soldiers to the Third Prince.

It would be great if the news reached the Emperor’s ears.

After Vice General Jiang issued a warning, everyone stopped discussing the previous topic and left with smiles to replace the soldiers on duty and have their meals.

Some of the soldiers mixed in with the crowd and left then found various excuses to slip away discreetly.

They either wanted to use an eagle or someone had tied a message to the dog’s abdomen and was preparing to let the dog out through a small dog hole dug under the city wall.

However, before they could release their eagles or dogs, they were caught by the imperial guards that King Yi had arranged to keep an eye on them.

These people were all experts in monitoring the surveillance cameras, so none of the spies from Ge Kingdom escaped.

Because of this, Ye Lui Donghe, who had been waiting outside for news, became anxious.

“Why hasn’t there been any news from inside?”

The deputy general also felt that something was wrong. If it was in the past, the news would have already spread at this time. Today, Princess Fubao also went in, so there should be more news.

“I will send someone to take a look.”

Hence, they released the signal and ran to the city wall to bark like dogs when it was dark.

However, no news was sent out, which made Ye Lui Donghe’s face turn black.
