The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Buhuo gently curled the corners of his mouth and said:

"As long as the soldiers of Beimoguan are well fed and well clothed, the Night Kingdom will never be conquered by the Northern Kingdom!"

Nan Ze looked at Ye Buhuo steadily, and Ye Buhuo looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

As expected of the God of War of the Ye Kingdom, Nan Ze looked up to Ye Buhuo in his heart. Thinking of his son who had still not received any news, Nan Ze couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

After a moment, Nan Ze stood up from his seat and said:

"I'll leave the food issue to my uncle. I'll be returning to the palace first."

After saying that, Nan Ze left Feng Mansion with his guards.

Everyone understood that Nan Ze agreed to buy and sell grain. After seeing Nan Ze off, they discussed the matter of transporting the grain.

After discussing the important matters, it was already night.

After saying goodbye to Feng Yi, the two of them got in the carriage and drove towards the inn.

"How do you know that the Southern Emperor is in Feng Mansion and will meet us?"

In the carriage, Hua Wu Ke couldn't help but ask Ye Buhuo out of curiosity.

"Master Feng once said that the grain issue needs the court's approval. He just entered the palace this morning and will meet us in the afternoon. There are only two or three hours between us. It is impossible for the Southern Emperor to agree to such a big thing in such a short time. So the Southern Emperor can only ask Master Feng to arrange for him to meet us if he wants to see for himself what our purpose is."

Hua Wu Ke still couldn't figure it out.

"Why couldn't it be that the Southern Emperor directly refused to sell the grain to us, and the Feng Family Master informed us of this news?"

Ye Buhuo shook his head.

"Given the character of Patriarch Feng, he will definitely do what he promised us. Even if the Southern Emperor really refuses this time, Patriarch Feng will continue to find ways to persuade the Southern Emperor instead of directly telling us that he cannot keep his promise."

Hua Wu Ke thought about his impression of Feng Yi, then nodded in agreement.

Feng Yi acted quickly and transferred 200,000 shi of grain the next day.

Beimo Pass was in urgent need of food, so Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo did not delay.

The four of them carried the food and walked towards the border between the two countries under the escort of the guards sent by Feng Mansion.

When we arrived at the border, Anyang City was not far ahead.

Ye Buhuo had already ordered Anyang City to send troops to support them here. When the guards of Feng Mansion were about to step out of the territory of the Southern Kingdom, they said goodbye to Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo and returned to Feng Mansion.

Ye Buhuo transferred 15,000 soldiers from Anyang City to escort the food and fodder, because he and Hua Wuke had been away from Beimo Pass for a long time, and counting the days, the food in Beimo Pass should be running out soon.

Ye Buhuo had no intention of staying in Anyang City, and he and Hua Wuke rode their horses directly towards Beimo Pass.

The group was escorting the food through a pipeline outside the city, which could get them to Beimo Pass faster but did not pass through Anyang City.

After driving for four hours, Ye Buhuo ordered everyone to take a short rest.

"My Lord, Miss, we are already very far away from Anyang City. It will take about two hours to reach Yuecheng."

Ye Yi went to explore the way and came back to report to Ye Buhuo.

After hearing Ye Yi's words, Hua Wu Ke's mood couldn't help but improve.

Once you arrive at Yuecheng, you are not far from Beimo Pass.

After a brief rest, Ye Buhuo ordered to continue on his journey.

Just as I started to move, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from behind me.

"Tap tap tap tap"

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, but I couldn't see the face of the person coming.

The team continued to move forward, as if not affected by the sound of horse hooves.

However, Ye Yi and Qing Zhu didn't know when they reached the back of the team, so they were afraid that someone might attack them from behind.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please stay!"

Gradually, the man rode his horse faster and closer to the team, and his voice reached everyone's ears.

Ye Buhuo immediately remembered that this was the deputy general guarding the gate of Anyang City.

Ye Buhuo raised his hand, signaling the team to stop and wait for the deputy general to approach.

In less than a moment, the deputy general came to Ye Buhuo.

Before the horse came to a complete stop, he dismounted and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, there is civil unrest in Anyang City!"

Hearing this, Ye Buhuo couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After a moment, Ye Buhuo said:

"Ye Yi, take my token and return to Anyang City immediately to control the civil unrest!"

"No."

Ye Yi was about to take the token when he was interrupted by Hua Wu Ke.

"Knowing that the prince is with him, the deputy general came all the way to inform the prince of this matter, which means that the generals and the acting city lord in the city can no longer suppress this matter. What's the point of letting Ye Yi come forward at this time?"

Ye Buhuo understood what Hua Wuke meant.

The general and the acting city lord have been managing Anyang City for a long time. If these two people cannot control the civil unrest, sending Ye Yi, who is not familiar to the people of Anyang City at all, will not be of much use.

However, the transportation of grain back to Beimoguan could not afford to be delayed.

"Let Ye Yi go to Anyang City to stabilize the situation temporarily. Once the food is transported back to Beimo Pass, I will return to Anyang City immediately."

As soon as Ye Buhuo finished speaking, Hua Wuke took over his words.

"Leave the food to me."

It is still a long distance from here to Beimo Pass. Who knows what kind of dangers we will encounter on the way. How can we let Hua Wu Ke take the risk alone?

"No."

Ye Buhuo replied.

"I will send a message to my brother to ask him to send troops to support us. Besides, there are 15,000 soldiers in the team. I am not a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. I will be fine!"

Ye Buhuo wanted to say something, but the deputy general couldn't wait any longer. He frowned unconsciously and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, the city lord said that this matter must be resolved by you personally returning!"

After hearing the deputy general's words, Hua Wu Ke squeezed Ye Buhuo's hand.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at Beimo Pass!"

Ye Buhuo no longer insisted and squeezed the hand in his hand.

"Safe travels."

Ye Buhuo, Ye Yi and the deputy general left the team and rode towards Anyang City.

Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu led the team to continue forward.

About two hours later, a city appeared in Hua Wu Ke's sight.

"Miss, Yuecheng is just ahead."

Qingzhu spoke at the right time.

The pipeline leads directly to Yuecheng, and the team must then pass through Yuecheng before continuing to Beimoguan.

Hua Wu Ke led the team towards Yuecheng.

When they were almost at the city gate, Hua Wu Ke felt something was wrong.

The city gates were closed and there were no soldiers guarding the walls, but faint sounds of fighting could be heard coming from the other side of the city.

Qingzhu rode forward on his horse and knocked on the city gate.

After a while, someone came and opened the city gate.

The gate had just opened a crack, and the people inside asked anxiously without even seeing the situation outside:

"Are they the brothers sent by Anyang City to rescue us?"

As the words fell, the city gate finally opened.

When he saw that the person leading the group outside the door was a woman, the soldier who opened the door was stunned for a moment, then asked again:

"This...female soldier, is she here to rescue Yuecheng?"
