Chapter 342 The Military Flag Spontaneously Combusted

Gu Yunqi looked in the direction she was pointing and was so shocked that his mouth could fit an egg.

He walked over and patted the bulging bags, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Military Advisor Gu, I'll have to trouble you to get the grain supplies in," the dark figure said in a deep voice.

Gu Yunqi leaned against the grain rations and chuckled foolishly, listening to him say that half of the supplies were from the Northern Barbarians who were eager to return.

"Take another look, I'll be there with people soon."

He ran off in a flash and sent a signal from the back of the mountain.

Upon hearing the sound, Helian Yue immediately stood up inside the tent.

He rushed back, thinking something terrible had happened, only to find Gu Yunqi looking at him mysteriously and saying, "A-Yue, take the Iron Bone Army."

Helian Yue was puzzled, so he kept him in suspense, saying, "It's incredibly good news. You'll find out when you take your men there."

Helian Yue nodded, and after about half an incense stick's time, the Iron Bone Army appeared neatly in formation on the back mountain.

Upon seeing Helian Yue, the grown men couldn't help but tear up.

"General, it really is you!"

Jiang Zhong's voice choked with emotion. At first, when he heard that unique arrow sound, he thought he had misheard. Then, with the second and third sounds, his whole body trembled.

Thinking of the recent rumors circulating about them in the military, he didn't care about anything else and led his men to find the source of the sound.

Helian Yue noticed his half-empty sleeve, and all his unspoken words were reduced to a soft sigh.

"Let's hurry, Yue, you'll meet someone unexpected soon."

Gu Yunqi led the way, and the group arrived at the place where the grain and fodder were stored as quickly as possible.

Wen Luozhi kept her eyes on the exit of the path. Even though so many people were coming out, she still saw Helian Yue at a glance.

Helian Yue also saw her, and without caring how many people were around, he leaped past them.

"Lolo, what brings you here?!" He excitedly pulled her into his arms, then quickly pushed her away and looked around.

"What are you doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

He glanced at the guilty-looking figure and the man in iron armor, and both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Wen Luozhi raised her hands and pinched his cheeks. "I was passing by on my way and thought I'd come and see you."

Helian Yue naturally didn't believe it, but seeing how lively she was, he didn't say anything more.

His reaction to seeing the supplies was no better than anyone else's.

"Lolo, these provisions..."

He pointed to the huge pile of grain and fodder. He still remembered what the official grain sent by the court to the battlefield looked like. Wasn't what was in front of him exactly the same as that?

Did they go to the Northern Barbarian army camp?

Thinking of this, his heart sank, and then he shook his head.

That's impossible. With so much food and supplies, how many people do they have? And there's been absolutely no movement from them.

Wen Luozhi leaned smugly against the grain rations, then patted the pile of grain belonging to the Northern Barbarians, saying, "We not only took some from our Great Jing, but also from the Northern Barbarians."

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, she continued, "Don't worry about how they got here; hurry up and transport them back so the soldiers can eat their fill and continue fighting victorious battles."

The evening breeze gently lifted her hair, and Wen Luozhi stood there with a smile, as if she were a god descending to earth to save them.

The Iron Bone Army only knew they had food, and seeing Helian Yue weep with joy, they cried, "General..."

"Go ahead and move them. Later, go back and tell General Longxi to bring his men over."

Helian Yue gave Wen Luozhi a deep look, then turned to Jiang Zhong and gave him instructions.

Gu Yunqi directed the operation from one side, while everyone else was moving grain, leaving Wen Luozhi with some free time.

The Iron-Boned Soldiers carried their loads, glancing back every few steps with mocking eyes at the two holding hands.

Helian Yue remained expressionless and silent. Wen Luozhi gently scratched his palm. "Helian Yue, are you angry?"

She tilted her head, her eyes unblinking, while the man beside her stared into the distance, lost in thought.

"Darling, are you angry?" Wen Luozhi asked in a sickeningly sweet voice, her eyes darting around.

Helian Yue finally reacted, looked down at her, sighed softly, then put his arm around her waist and disappeared from the spot.

"Lolo, how did you get those provisions?"

Before Wen Luozhi could even stand firmly on the ground, Helian Yue asked a question.

"Don't tell me you went to the Northern Barbarian army camp," Helian Yue added, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the shadowy figure had asked him for a map of the Northern Barbarians' camp, saying that he wanted to see if he could find a good way to deal with it.

Looking back now, I'm afraid it was all planned out at the time, but how exactly were so many of them transported out?

Could they be digging tunnels? But that would definitely cause a huge commotion, and the northern barbarians might discover it before it even begins.

Wen Luozhi picked at her fingers, unsure how to answer him. The two remained deadlocked for a while before Helian Yue finally gave in.

"Fine, if Luo Luo doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't ask."

"I'm glad you're okay."

He knew Wen Luozhi had a secret, and this time it must be related to that secret, so he didn't ask.

Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi looked up, appearing somewhat aggrieved. "I just wanted to help you solve the problem; I didn't think that much about it."

I won't hurt you.

He Lianyue immediately felt sorry for her after hearing her say that, and cursed himself for asking so many questions.

He offered a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and Wen Luozhi smiled and said, "You're so smart, you'll definitely guess something. You'll know when the time is right."

She just didn't expect that the "right time" she mentioned would come so quickly.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhong's words, Jing Yue immediately brought his men over. Seeing the substantial pile of grain and fodder, he was greatly encouraged.

Seeing Gu Yunqi, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, the old man and the young man chatted for a while and then led their men to move things with great enthusiasm.

The Northern Barbarian camp was in complete chaos. Several soldiers guarding the main tent woke up and hurriedly lifted the curtain to check.

The place was already empty; there was no food left.

They thought they had misread it and slapped each other a few times. When they finally came to their senses, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

When Chiduotu heard that all the grain had mysteriously disappeared, he was so angry that he smashed everything in the tent, and even strangled two of the dancers that Balu had brought back to death in a fit of rage.

"Oh dear, find it for me!"

"Everyone, get up and search! How could so much grain just vanish into thin air?!"

Everyone was searching, and they dug up the ground but couldn't find a single grain of food, let alone a tunnel.

Chiduotu stared at the empty tent with red eyes, his fists, as big as sandbags, clenched so tightly they cracked.

Could it be that, as General Da Jing said last time, there are immortals helping Da Jing?

He was panting heavily like an ox, his face grim, while outside the tent, there were cries of panic.

"Oh no! Oh no! The military flag has been set on fire!"

"Quick, bring me water! Quick, bring me water!"

Not far from the tent where Chiduotu was resting, the straight-flying Northern Barbarian army flag burst into flames.

As the burning debris continued to fall and drifted everywhere, Balu, holding the flagpole, wanted to put it down first.

Unfortunately, the iron flagpole was scorching hot, and he immediately let go when he felt the pain in his hand.
