Shen Lianxin lamented in her heart, a penny can make a hero fall, and a bucket of rice can't feed these rough men.

"Take me to see how much food you have looted during this period!"

Zhang Meng stood up and said, "Yes!"

Taking Shen Lianxin to a storage place, there were a lot of grains piled up in the granary, not in bags. They were made into small bags, and it was obvious that they were pieced together.

Suddenly someone outside shouted, "Boss, dinner is ready. Dinner is ready."

Two soldiers brought an elderly man in to deliver food.

"I heard that Guard Leng is here, so I specially added more wild vegetables today!"

Shen Lianxin took a look at the dark bowl inside. The soup was diluted and two vegetable leaves were floating in it. In modern times, pigs eat better than this.

Zhang Meng quickly brought it over, "Princess, eat something first. Our life is hard, you, please bear with it."

Shen Lianxin stepped back instinctively. Let her eat this? Don’t come over here!!!

Zhang Meng was embarrassed, his tiger eyes glared, and he pointed at the grain in the granary with concern, "Take some food and cook something good for the Crown Prince's Consort. Can this stuff be eaten by the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Zhang Meng kicked the soldier's butt and said, "Go quickly."

The old man came over and saluted Shen Lianxin, then went to the granary to get rice.

Zhang Meng explained, "We met this old man when we were robbing. All his family members died and he had no way to survive. He was about to commit suicide. We brought him back and he made a living with us brothers. Now he helps us cook."

Shen Lianxin nodded and looked up to Zhang Meng even more.

The old man was filling rice. If he scooped out too much, he would pour some back. Then he felt it was not enough, so he added a little more. He repeated this over and over again. Zhang Meng and several soldiers were watching him nearby. He became more nervous every time he added a little more, and relaxed a little when he poured a little back.

Shen Lianxin was speechless, but she could see some bitterness in her eyes. These young and strong men were all skinny at the time of eating.

Even though there was food in the warehouse, they were reluctant to eat even a single grain, thinking of leaving some for their brothers on the front line.

"Don't bother, we've already eaten, we don't want to eat anymore."

Leng Feng also said, "No need to make it specially for us, we don't want to eat it."

Zhang Meng's eyes were somewhat obscure. Was he dissatisfied with their poor food? However, being able to eat a mouthful of this black mush was already better than many people.

"You guys eat first. I'll take care of the food and fodder. We'll talk after we finish eating."

When Zhang Meng heard that Shen Lianxin had a way to solve the problem of food and grass, his eyes suddenly lit up, "The Crown Prince's Concubine has a solution?"

Leng Feng had a fierce look on his face. "The Crown Prince's Consort is a goddess who has descended to earth. Of course there is a way. If I ask you to eat, then eat quickly. After you finish eating, we can discuss business."

Shen Lianxin was speechless. A goddess descended to earth. Did she have to say that? It was too embarrassing. She had to keep a straight face to hide the rage in her heart.

Zhang Meng picked up the bowl and gulped down the whole black bowl.

Putting down the bowl, "We're done. Let's go to the lobby to talk business."

It can be seen how anxious Zhang Meng is and how much he cares about the food and grass. It is related to the survival of the Zhenbei Army and he dare not neglect it at all.

When they returned to the lobby, Shen Lianxin estimated that they had looted more than 500 kilograms of food during this period. This amount of food might be a drop in the bucket if it was taken to the military camp, but it was life-saving food for the people fleeing famine.

"Distribute the looted food to the people fleeing famine along the way you robbed." As soon as Shen Lianxin said this, Zhang Meng's face turned bad.

"Send them all back? Princess, my 20 soldiers in Dingzhou are starving to death. This food came from an ignominious source, but I, Zhang Meng, bear the blame alone, and it has nothing to do with the Zhenbei Army. Afterwards, I will give my life to these people. But this food must be sent to Dingzhou City."

"You say it has nothing to do with it? You are an active soldier of the Zhenbei Army, and the looted food was also eaten by the Zhenbei Army. How can it have nothing to do with it?" Shen Lianxin's face also darkened.

Zhang Meng's face turned green and red, and he was speechless for a while. Shen Lianxin knew that they had no choice and did not want to embarrass him, so she softened her tone and spoke again.

"Return these grains. We have fodder."

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, "Yes?"

Shen Lianxin nodded, "Before coming here, Leng Feng and I went to Lingzhou and brought back the food and grass that the court was supporting us with."

Zhang Meng stood up happily, "Really? Will Zhou An hand over the food and grass?"

Shen Lianxin held her forehead with her hand, "Well, of course it wasn't handed over, we stole it."

“Robbered?” Zhang Meng was confused for a moment, then he laughed out loud, “Good, good, good!!! Robbing is good!! If I could get to Dingzhou, I would have gone to rob him too.”

Leng Feng's mouth twitched, and he slapped Zhang Meng on the back of his head, "Who are you talking about? Do you think your life is too long?"

Zhang Meng immediately stopped smiling and said, "Hey, I was wrong. I was wrong."

"Princess, where is the food now?"

Leng Feng glanced at Shen Lianxin. The food and grass are all in the space. What can he say?

Shen Lianxin coughed lightly, "When Leng Feng and I came here, we hired some escorts to escort us. We let them go before entering the city. We hid the food and grass in the mountains, so we can just go and get them."

"That's great. My 20 soldiers are saved."

After saying that, everyone stood up and followed Shen Lianxin and Leng Feng into the mountains. After walking a distance, Shen Lianxin stopped.

"You guys wait here, the food and supplies are ahead, I'll go check it out first."

"Let's go together, brothers. The princess doesn't have to do anything to carry the things. There are many ferocious beasts on the mountain, and it will be safer for us brothers to follow."

A slap hit Zhang Meng on the head. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just wait if I tell you to. If you keep talking, go back and get your stick."

Although Zhang Meng was a bit of a scoundrel, he did not dare to disobey military orders. Gu Dingbei probably asked Zhang Meng to go out to find food because he was a bit of a scoundrel and had a quick mind. I don't know if he had expected that Zhang Meng would lead his men to engage in robbery.

After being taught a lesson by Leng Feng, he immediately became obedient and stopped talking.

Shen Lianxin gave Leng Feng an approving look and walked forward a distance to make sure she could not see them.

The food and grass looted from the Ever-Victorious Army were released from the space, a total of several hundred carts, enough for the army to eat for more than a month.

After finishing, Shen Lianxin returned, "The food and fodder are just ahead, come over."

Leng Feng led his men forward. When they saw the food and fodder, Zhang Meng and the others were immediately excited. "So many, all food and fodder!!"

Everyone cheered, "Our Zhenbei Army is saved!!"

"We are saved."

"There's food!!"

Shen Lianxin was infected by the atmosphere and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Zhang Meng waved his hand and said, "Brothers, move back to our village first."

There was too much food and fodder, and they did not have enough manpower to transport it all at once. They had to deliver it in batches, otherwise the food and fodder would have to be escorted by a large army.

We have to leave some people here to guard it. Fortunately, the place where the food and grass are stored is not far from their village.
