Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 350 The Grain Supply Army

"Don't worry, I've already left the city. I've got Chaoyang and Mingyue keeping an eye on things. The grain convoy is expected to arrive this afternoon. This will be the best meal you'll have in a while." Bai Wuyou placed the two food boxes on the table and asked her, "Not interested?"

"If that's the case, then it depends on whether you buy enough." Shen Li swallowed hard. Ever since she heard about the Kyoto Incident, she hadn't eaten anything good.

Bai Wuyou smiled faintly and helped her open the box.

"Eat slowly. I'm going to warn that corrupt official again so he doesn't cause any trouble." He said, preparing to leave.

"He's hoping to use this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, so he won't just sit back and do nothing. Sit down and have something to eat," Shen Li said, gesturing for him to sit down.

"Are you so sure?" Bai Wuyou sat down, half believing and half doubting.

"The intelligence my husband asked me to bring me says that this person is a petty official with enormous greed," Shen Li said while eating. "The worst thing about this kind of person is dying before they've spent all their money, and they're also the most likely to choose sides."

"But how can you be so sure he'll be on our side?" Bai Wuyou asked, puzzled.

"With the Tiger Tally outside, even if the capital falls, it will soon be wiped out by Prince Rui's army. We don't need to worry about the old emperor's death; we can just replace him with another one. No matter how you look at it, Li Heng's chances of winning are very slim."

"It seems that the Hu princess's methods were not very effective, leaving such a big hidden danger."

Shen Li shook her head: "That is precisely her brilliance. If she had schemed to seize the Tiger Tally, Li Heng and Zhou Zhen might not have been able to hold onto their thrones. If our Great Zhao Dynasty were stable and free from internal strife, how could Great Liang have benefited?"

After figuring out the logic of the matter, Bai Wuyou looked at Shen Li with disbelief in his bewitching eyes: "So, people's schemes can be so meticulous and insidious?"

"This is a standard method, nothing particularly sophisticated, anyone with eyes can see it," Shen Li said honestly.

“That’s not all…” Bai Wuyou wanted to continue the conversation, but quickly realized something was wrong, so she looked at her with displeasure: “What do you mean?”

Shen Li avoided eye contact: "This roast duck is delicious, you should eat more too."

"I won't argue with a little girl like you." Bai Wuyou snorted, which was enough to appease herself.

After the meal, Shen Li left the county government office and was taken by Bai Wuyou to a hilltop. From there, one could see the county's post station. At that moment, there were barracks outside the post station, and Hou Wenyuan was talking with a man who looked like a general.

Last night, Shen Li learned the identity of this general from Hou Wenyuan. This man was a military officer in the fiefdom of Prince Ning and a staunch rebel. That was why he was assigned such an important task as transporting military supplies.

Hou Wenyuan bowed his back as always, being extremely obsequious, while the young general on the other side clearly did not take him seriously, showing only impatience in the face of his conversation.

Dozens of soldiers carried water buckets back in the distance, while the rest of the soldiers lined up to fill their own water bags with water.

Several buckets of water were carried to the central army camp, where several large pots were set up, and their own soldiers cooked rice and stewed meat, the aroma wafting far and wide.

Shen Li turned her head to look at Bai Wuyou, who was lying next to her.

Bai Wuyou instinctively shrank back when faced with the face that suddenly loomed close, and whispered, "You just ate."

"What?" Shen Li didn't understand what he was talking about at first, but she quickly realized it and said irritably, "Do you think all I know is eating? I'm asking if you've given me the medicine?"

"Oh." Bai Wuyou nodded blankly. "I'm logging off."

Shen Li turned her head again and couldn't help but reflect on whether she had been too impulsive lately, and what kind of image she had in other people's eyes.

"Rest where you are. Everyone eat and sleep well tonight. After leaving the city tomorrow, march at full speed. There must be no delays before entering the next city," the general ordered.

Shen Li had a plan in mind and said to Bai Wuyou, "Go and call our people over. We'll attack tonight."

"Yes." Before getting up, Bai Wuyou asked, "And you? Are you safe here alone?"

"A mere three thousand men, they might not be a match for me in a fight. You can leave without worry." Shen Li waved her hand dismissively.

Bai Wuyou felt that even with his martial arts skills honed since childhood, he dared not say such a thing. He smiled helplessly, took a few steps back, and leaped down the mountain.

Shen Li also quietly crawled back a little, giving up watching, and leaned against a large rock to take out the book she had taken from Hou Wenyuan.

She could hear the faintest sounds, and even without looking, she could monitor the movements of the people below.

After eating, the people returned to their tents to rest. Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard, and the sky gradually darkened.

What troubled Shen Li was that some of the words on the book were no longer visible.

She had just closed her book when she heard heavy footsteps. Based on her experience, they were the footsteps of a wild boar, heading in her direction. It was likely that the boar had heard the commotion and wanted to ambush the group to hunt them.

If a wild boar sees her, it will attack her first, thus revealing her location.

So she quickly got up and tiptoed down the mountain, intending to avoid the wild boar.

"You, go and search that mountain," the young general's voice rang out behind Shen Li.

"General, we've already captured this county town, is there any need to search the mountains?" The soldier was reluctant to do such a laborious but pointless task.

"Under any circumstances, a thorough search must be conducted before and after the camp is set up. Do not be careless." The general's voice was stern: "Go now."

"Yes, sir." The soldier also became serious upon hearing this.

Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly. She had no experience in leading troops and had never encountered such an opponent before. Fortunately, it would take her a while for her troops to arrive, otherwise she would have been forced to make a move ahead of schedule.

As she quickly descended the mountain, she kept this experience in mind. It seemed that she needed to make more preparations for ambushes in the future, as it was easy to mess things up when facing experienced generals.

She was quite agile, but because she didn't know any light-body skills, she was a little disheveled. It took her quite a while to get down the mountain and she chose an inconspicuous spot to hide.

The soldiers encountered a wild boar while searching the mountains, causing a great commotion. It was because of this that the suspicious general was relieved, knowing that there was probably no ambush.
