Chapter 257: Food and Grass Burned
Huangfu Yuesheng raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Aying, I will give you a status when I return this time."
"Master..." Yueying's dark eyes flashed with shyness, "Hurry up and eat."
After Huangfu Yuesheng finished his meal, Yueying took the empty bowl and chopsticks out.
Before Fengque Kingdom sent anyone to negotiate, trouble arose in their own military camp. More than half of the food and grass were burned, and several people on duty were choked to death by smoke while trying to put out the fire.
Huangfu Yuesheng immediately realized that there was a spy in the army, and it would take a while to find him out, so he was afraid that this person had already escaped.
The original food supply could last for six months, but more than half of it has been burned. I'm afraid it will be difficult to last even for a month.
The farmers living near the military camp still had food at home and were willing to donate it.
After Huangfu Yuesheng came here, he has been helping the farmers around him. They respect His Royal Highness Prince Yijing very much.
The military advisor and Lieutenant General Qin were unable to catch the arsonist and were very distressed and blamed themselves.
"Your Highness, there must be spies in the army. If we don't find them out, they will work together inside and outside and the situation will be disastrous for us!" The military advisor looked worried.
Tan Huan was furious. "It's my fault that the villain succeeded right under my nose! I must cut this man into pieces!"
The military advisor agreed: "Yes, the punishment must be severe!"
Huangfu Yuesheng looked haggard, with tired eyes and eyebrows. She stroked her forehead and asked, "Did you see anyone doing something sneaky?"
"No……"
"Replenish the lost food and grass first." Huangfu Yuesheng looked at Tan Huan, "Go and see how the soldiers are practicing their formations first."
Tan Huan: "Okay."
Huangfu Yuesheng added: "I have already asked another person to investigate this matter, you can just do your own things with peace of mind."
The military advisor nodded: "I understand."
Tan Huan: “Okay!”
After the two men left the tent, the military advisor held his chin up and said, "Deputy General, who do you think His Highness will arrange to investigate the people who set fire to the food and grass?"
Tan Huan: "Maybe he is a powerful person... The people around His Highness are all very powerful."
"This is an opportunity to make merit, General. If this matter is discovered by others, wouldn't that person be able to get a position in the army? I'm a little worried that your position will be replaced..."
"What nonsense! Your Highness will not deprive me of my position. If you want to demote me, Your Majesty has to say it in person." Tan Huan was very unhappy to hear her words.
The military advisor pulled her arm and lowered his voice and said, "After the man next to your Highness came to the military camp, he intervened in almost everything. How can a man show his face in public?"
"A man should stay at home to take care of his wife and children. No woman would want someone like him."
"That's right. I don't know what tricks he used to deceive His Highness, but His Highness allowed him to move freely in the army. I feel like he will replace you as the deputy general."
The military advisor observed Qin Huan's expression and found that her originally happy face suddenly turned black.
Qin Huan snorted coldly, "Your Highness must have her reasons for doing this. Even if that man wants to compete for this position, it depends on whether he is more capable or I am more capable!"
She looked unhappy and walked very fast, soon leaving the military advisor behind.
A few days later, someone came to provoke Huangfu Yuesheng again.
A team of 500 people stood one mile away from the military camp and clashed with several patrolling soldiers.
When Huangfu Yuesheng arrived, that group of people rode away quickly on horseback.
These people came many times in a row, each time coming every three or four days, and then running away after provoking us!
Huang Tan was very happy to hear the news.
Huangfu Yuesheng came to see her.
She smiled very proudly; "The emperor will come to rescue me soon! By then, your military camp will be razed to the ground, and you will be tortured. I want you to be unable to live or die!"
