Heavenly meteor, crossing into the imperial concubine

  "Is there anything else, Miss Jia?"

  "That, my father has two grain shops in Gu Cheng, I think we can donate some grain to Xuan Wangye." After Jia Xinlian finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up, "Although the quantity is not much, it should be enough for an emergency."

  "I and tens of thousands of soldiers have already thanked Miss Jia."

  "The princess doesn't need to be polite, Prince Xuan is having trouble leading the army to fight against the enemy for Lingguo now, we should also do our part."

  "If someone marries a girl as knowledgeable, intelligent and virtuous as Miss Jia, it must be the good fortune he accumulated in his previous life!" Blue Lingqi smiled and flattered Jia Xinlian until her face turned red, also making her look at herself with more admiration.

  "Then let's have Princess Wang go with me to find my father."

  "Okay."

  Several people changed their path and followed Jia Xinlian to the Jia family's rice shop. Along the way, they resumed their playful joking.

  "Second brother, since you just said that marrying Miss Jia is a blessing, then why don't you marry her? A kind and gentle person like Miss Jia would be more than suitable for second brother!"

  "Princess." Jia Xinlian blushed and lowered her head, tugging at An Weixin's sleeve.

  "It's too distant to call me Wang Fei, from now on, Xiang Lian sister will just call me Xin Er." An Wei Xin flashed a playful glance at Jia Xiang Lian.

  "Brother and sister, Miss Jia's face is so thin that she can't stand your teasing! But it's true that Miss Jia is a perfect match for me, haha!" As he heard Lan Lingqi's bright laughter, Jia Xinyan quietly raised her eyes to look at him. Coincidentally, Lan Lingqi also looked back at her, and the two of them locked eyes. The thick-skinned Lan Lingqi chuckled and smiled, while Jia Xinyan lowered her head again in embarrassment.

  "We're here! Papa, daughter is back." Jia Xinlian ran into the rice shop, hugged a middle-aged man's arm and coquettishly said, "Papa, daughter brought some friends back."

  "Oh? Then quickly introduce them to me." Mr. Jia smiled brightly and looked towards the entrance where An Weixin and others were standing.

  "Father, this is the princess of Prince Xuan's mansion, and this is Shao Nian, young master Shao. And these few people..." Jia Xinlian only recognized two of them, the rest she really didn't know. As soon as Old Master Jia heard that An Weixin was Princess Xuan, he bowed his head to pay respects, but was lifted up by An Weixin.

  "Mr. Jia, no need for excessive politeness, we've come because there's something we'd like to ask for your help with."

  "What's wrong with the princess? If it's something I can help with, I'll do my best as a humble subject."

  "Yes, it is so. I wonder if Lord Jia has heard about our army's grain and fodder being burned?"

  Who among the business people is not a clever person, as soon as they heard this, they had an idea in their mind. "I've heard that General Xuan led his soldiers to guard the border and protect our country, now that we're having difficulties, although we can't help much, but sending some food to the soldiers shouldn't be a problem." Before An You could make a request, Master Jia had already spoken up.

  "Master Jia's actions not only helped those tens of thousands of soldiers but also helped our Qiling country and the Emperor!"

  "Compared with Your Highness and the generals on the border, what I have done is trivial and not worth mentioning."

  "Mr. Jia is too modest!" An Wei's face lit up with a smile, she didn't expect Mr. Jia to agree so quickly.

  "Now that Father has agreed, let's quickly gather the grain so that Princess Wang can send it to the generals at the border."

  "Alright, I have some business friends here, if I ask them, they will surely not be stingy with that bit of food."

  "I would like to thank General Jia on behalf of Xuan and the tens of thousands of soldiers here. When we return victorious, we will certainly report our merits to the Emperor and request rewards."

  "The princess was polite, since you are Lian'er's friends and have saved Lian'er, there is no need to say thank you for this small matter. Please trouble the princess to wait here for a while, I will go and prepare food."

  "Good."

  Two hours later, the news of An Weixin and others raising grain for border warriors spread throughout Gu City. The entrance to Jia's grain store gathered countless civilians who came to donate grain, even the beggars on the street corners donated a bowl.

  "Gentlemen, I am grateful to be here with all my heart. I would like to sincerely thank everyone on behalf of my husband and the soldiers at the border. With your enthusiastic support, I believe they will definitely win this battle beautifully! They will surely defeat Tian Shao Guo and send them back home, bringing peace to you all!"

  "Good! Well said!"

  "Yes! We believe that King Xuan will definitely return triumphantly!"

  "Send those sons of Tian Shao back to their hometown!" The people were excited and shouted, and they also trusted Lan Lingxuan extremely. They all believed that the King Xuan of Qingling would not disappoint them!

  "Your Highness, all the grain has been loaded onto the carts. In total, there are 563 stones." An Wei and several others were shocked by this number, not expecting to be able to gather so much grain. Although it was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of troops, it was better than having nothing at all.

  "Thanks to Master Jia's generous help, it's getting late, so we'll set off as soon as possible. If we can deliver the grain an hour earlier, we can alleviate the army's urgent need a bit sooner."

  "Well, then, Your Highness and everyone else, be careful on your way!"

  Several people were ready to depart, and the long grain transport team filled the entire street. The team was escorted by the official government of Gu Cheng, and they set off in a hurry.

  The grain team rushed overnight and arrived at Liao City, near Guo City, on the next morning. The city gate was wide open, and the grain team of thousands of meters long entered the city. As soon as they stepped into the city gate, they attracted a crowd. After inquiring, it turned out that it was Xuan Wangfei's grain team for Xuan Wangye. Upon learning this, the people of Liao City also carried their own food to the grain carts. After leaving Liao City, the grain team grew even larger.

  At this time, in the border military account, Lan Lingxuan, the prince and several generals were worried and unhappy. It had only been a day since the grain and grass were burned, although they borrowed food from the common people's homes in the city, but that was not enough for the 200,000-strong army, the food was barely enough to fill their teeth, and the soldiers only ate one meal a day, which was a thin porridge with very few rice grains.

  "Your Highness, the grain and fodder dispatched by the imperial court will not arrive for at least seven days. It's only been a day since we set out, can't let our soldiers go hungry into battle, can we?" General Liu said worriedly. Going hungry for a day or two is no problem, but if it goes on for too long, few people can endure it.

  "Damn those scoundrels from the Tian Shao Kingdom! They only know how to scheme behind people's backs. If all else fails, we'll go and burn their grain stores to ashes!" General Xu cursed with a red face and bulging neck.

  "Does General Xu think that Zhong Lishuang is an idiot? He burned our grain and cut off our food supply, do you think he would be foolish enough to let you have the chance to burn their grain as well?" Lan Lingzhe sneered.

  "What are we going to do?" General Xu slammed his hand on the table, but couldn't think of any solution. They couldn't keep going into the city to borrow grain, and the common people didn't have much food to eat either.

  "Grandfather." Just as several people were arguing, Feng Qi walked in from outside.

  Lan Lingxuan waved his hand, "You all go down first." Knowing that Feng Qi had something to say to Lan Lingxuan, a few people called out and left. "What's the matter?"

  "Father, night has fallen."

  "What?" Blue Ling Xuan furrowed his brow, wasn't he supposed to let An Ye stay in Kyoto to protect An Wei Xin? How could he suddenly run here? Could it be that something happened to An Wei Xin? Thinking of this, Blue Ling Xuan's heart tightened, the anxiety in his eyes was evident. "Quickly, call him in."

  "Yes!"

  When a figure in black appeared in the main tent, Lan Lingxuan rushed up with an arrow step, grasped the night's clothes and asked anxiously, "Is something wrong with Xiner?"

  The dark night was startled by Lan Lingxuan's sudden movement, "Your Majesty, the princess is fine, I came here at the behest of the princess to bring something to you."

  When he heard An Ye say that, his heart finally put down the burden he had been carrying. But then he felt a little puzzled again - what could An Ye possibly bring him? Could it be a love letter? (Cough cough, Your Highness is overthinking!) Then he thought about it some more - if it were a love letter, there would be no need for An Ye to come all the way here. So what could it be?

  Just as Lán Líng Xuān was indulging in flights of fancy, àn Yè Míng Rén brought in five large trunks, "What's this?"

  "Return to the king, this is what the queen asked me to bring." An Ye opened one of the boxes, and it was full of shiny black balls. Feng Qi curiously picked up one and examined it carefully, but he didn't know what it was. "Your Majesty, I've seen the power of these things before. If we use them on the battlefield, we can definitely win with a surprise attack!"

  "Oh?" Blue Leng Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, he had never seen these things before, but listening to An Ye's words it seemed that the power of this small thing was indeed not small. "Is it really so magical? Take one and let me try it out."

  "Yes." Lan Lingxuan sealed the box and called over a few trusted men to instruct them to keep a close eye on the boxes, not allowing anyone to come near. Only then did he take Feng Qi and An Ye to conduct the experiment.

  Three people avoided everyone and went outside the camp to find a secluded place, where An Ye quietly handed over the black ball to Lan Lingxuan and whispered, "Master, you must hide far away later." Because An Ye spoke very softly, Feng Qi didn't hear this warning, so this unlucky child was tricked by An Ye, just like how he himself was once tricked by An Wei. Who would have thought that the gloomy An Ye would also play tricks on people?

  In the dark of night, he took a few steps forward and suddenly threw the black ball to the ground. With a loud "boom", the black ball exploded on impact, releasing thick smoke that spread out in all directions. Blue Ling Xuan remembered Dark Night's warning and had already retreated several meters backward by the time the black ball hit the ground. Dark Night also leapt up and directly sprang onto the treetop, leaving only Feng Qi standing foolishly in his original spot.

  "Cough, cough, cough." A violent fit of coughing erupted in the smoke, and Feng Qi was suddenly surrounded by it. When he came to his senses, the pungent smell directly invaded his nostrils, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably, with tears streaming down his face. His eyes were blurred by tears, making it impossible for him to see what was happening. He stumbled around for half a day but couldn't escape the smoke until it finally dispersed on its own, at which point Feng Qi collapsed to the ground.

  "Who would have thought that such a small thing could have such a great effect." Lan Lingxuan's eyes were filled with excitement, and from Feng Qi's expression, it was clear that if this thing were to be used in war, its power would be extraordinary!

  "Damn you, Dark Night! Cough cough, why didn't you tell me a thing!" Feng Qi finally managed to hold back his tears and jumped up, throwing a punch at Dark Night.

  She dodged to one side in the dark of night, her face stiff with a "I'm going to die from anger" expression and said, "You didn't ask me."

  "You wouldn't remind me unless I asked you?!" Feng Qi felt that this kid was definitely doing it on purpose to mess with him!

  "If no one tries it out, how would Wang Ye see the effect." A sentence from An Ye made Feng Qi directly go berserk, swinging his long sword and chopping over.

  "I knew you did it on purpose!"

  "You know and yet you ask." Feng Qi panted heavily, how did he never know that the numb face in the dark night could also be so infuriating!

  Lan Lingxuan watched the two of you chasing each other, shaking his head and smiling. He thought that this thing was sent to him by An Weixin, and he felt a warmth in his heart. His thoughts of her grew stronger, wondering what his little heart was doing now, whether she was thinking of him every moment like he was thinking of her.
