One Second Remember, to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

When she left the tent, she happened to run into Sima Hui. Sima Hui saw He Changdi walking over quickly with his horse. She smiled and was about to greet him when He Sanlang walked past her.

Sima Hui's hand froze in midair and her expression was awkward.

She felt an indescribable sense of loss. She returned to the border army camp with a gloomy expression and went to the commander's tent to report. As soon as she came out, she saw the adjutant Xiao Yan and two female soldiers waiting outside the tent.

Xiao Yan's expression was not good. Her cheeks were red from the cold and her eyes were red and swollen. Sima Hui's expression changed when she saw this. "What happened?"

Xiao Yan lowered her head and bit her lips without saying anything. This made people feel even more wronged.

Finally, the two female soldiers behind her could not hold back and said, "General, you have to help Sister Xiao Yan and the subordinates."

Sima Hui took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "Come back to the tent with me first."

The three women obediently complied and quickly followed Sima Hui back to the tent.

After Sima Hui heard the cause and effect, she looked up at Xiao Yan in front of her. After a moment, she said, "Xiao Yan, tell me if what they said is true."

The female adjutant Xiao Yan did not know what was going on. The general's voice was as gentle as usual, but there was something frightening about it.

She carefully glanced at Si Mahui. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded. "Miss, they're right. Jinyi Xiangjun really doesn't care about you. She's deliberately making things difficult for this servant. Because of Commandant He, I'm afraid she's prejudiced against you."

How many times had it been? Young Miss had always protected her. Xiao Yan believed that this time would not be an exception. As long as Young Miss had the intention to fight, and with Xiao Yan by her side to give her advice, why would she be afraid that she wouldn't be able to snatch a mere Commandant He?

Xiao Yan was full of confidence, but she had overestimated herself.

Disappointment flashed in Sima Hui's eyes. She paused and finally said softly, "Xiao Yan, go receive your punishment. I don't need you to serve me in the future. Let Xiao Ju do it."

Since Sima Hui could reach the position of general at such a young age, she was naturally not a foolish person.

Putting aside the fact that when Old General Sima was alive, he had taught her almost personally. Later on, she had struggled in the army for four or five years.

Sometimes, indulgence had become a habit. After all, Xiao Yan was a maid who had grown up with her. But once something touched her bottom line, Sima Hui would never be soft-hearted.

Xiao Yan thought that she could use her connections to intimidate others. Even if the Miss, who had served her for many years, knew the truth, she would consider their many years of friendship and just give her a few words of warning. She never thought that the Miss would directly transfer her away from her side. Such a punishment was undoubtedly more severe than being beaten dozens of times.

Her previous calmness completely disappeared, and she instantly became flustered. "Young Miss, what did this servant do to make you unhappy? Please punish this servant directly, don't chase this servant away!

Now that the old general is gone, this servant only has you as my master! "

This time, Sima Hui was unmoved. She immediately waved her hand, and the two female guards beside her gagged Xiao Yan and dragged her away.

As for the remaining two female soldiers, when they saw Xiao Yan's fate, they did not dare to say another word. They lowered their heads and knelt, trembling. Without needing Sima Hui to ask, they cried and begged for mercy. "General, what happened today was all arranged by Sister Xiao Yan. It was not our idea. Please forgive us, General!"

Sima Hui's heroic face was cold. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were filled with exhaustion and disappointment.

She waved her hand, and the remaining two women were also taken away.

She ordered, "Send these two to Commandant He. Let him deal with them."

The warm tent quieted down. After a few days and nights of exhaustion, it should have been the time for a sweet sleep. However, Sima Hui did not feel sleepy at all. She listened to the northern wind outside the tent, and her heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Actually, when she had just returned to the camp, Xiao Ju's men had already informed her of what happened today. However, she did not expect Xiao Yan to still disappoint her.

Sima Hui's lips twitched bitterly. Xiao Yan's thinking was too simple. How could a woman who could teach them a lesson so calmly be tricked by their clumsy methods?

Previously, Commandant He had rushed out so hurriedly. He was probably chasing after Jinyi Village Lord.

She was a little curious about what kind of person this Jinyi Village Lord was.

Just as Sima Hui was immersed in her own thoughts, Xiao Ju brought in some food.

Knowing that Miss was still angry because of what happened to Xiao Yan, Xiao Ju served her even more attentively. "General's food, right? You haven't eaten anything since you came back!"

Sima Hui took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and nodded.

She picked up the silver chopsticks on the small table in front of her, and her eyes fell on the food in front of her.

Looking at it, she was stunned. She asked curiously, "Why is there no rice today?"

Although Sima Hui's hometown was Shandong, she followed her mother who was born in the south. She liked to eat rice. If she had the conditions, she would rarely eat staple foods made of flour.

Usually, her clothes and food were taken care of by her maidservant, Xiao Ju. Her three meals a day were rice and porridge. But today, there was not a single grain of rice in the bowls and plates in front of her. What was going on?

Xiao Ju was silent for a moment, but still replied honestly, "General, the rice we brought this time has been finished."

Sima Hui paused, but did not say anything. She picked up a piece of wok from the bowl and took a bite. In the end, she still dipped it in plain water before swallowing the food in her mouth.

She looked at the other dishes. There was a small plate of black sauce and half a plate of bacon. She put down the wok in her hands. "Do the generals in the camp eat this every day?"

With Xiao Yan as an example, Xiao Ju did not dare to hide anything from her general.

"Yes, this is what I took from the cook. Even the general eats this every day. The dried meat and sauce were specially taken care of by General Qian because you are a woman."

Sima Hui's handsome brows furrowed. Her sharp senses told her that something was wrong.

"Other than my subordinates, what do the other soldiers in the border army eat every day?"

"The soldiers who do not go to war are given two bowls of bean porridge and one wok. The soldiers at the frontlines have three meals a day, one wok and one bowl of bean porridge."

Hearing this answer, Sima Hui's eyes widened in shock. "When did the border army start eating bean porridge?"

Xiao Ju was clearly more reliable than Xiao Yan. She was meticulous and had already investigated this information in the camp.

"We started eating bean porridge before we came. At that time, we only had bean porridge once a day, and some rice porridge in the morning and evening. But since the end of last month, the camp has completely stopped eating rice.

The adjunct said that it is to save up food for the winter. "

Sima Hui was not so naive. She had a worried expression. She got up and walked to the side of the tent. She reached out and lifted the curtain. A bone-chilling wind immediately poured in from outside the tent, mixed with ice and snow. It made people shiver uncontrollably.

Save up food?

Why would they wait until winter? To store food in such a cold weather, wouldn't they want people to freeze to death?

The camp was probably already empty of food …
