Of course, he wasn't waiting for Chu Lian.

Although Chu Lian seemed to be a completely different person in this life, the more He Sanlang interacted with her, the more deeply he felt her.

However, He Changdi never thought that Chu Lian would be able to solve the current predicament of the border army. In his eyes, even if Chu Lian was smart and crafty, she wouldn't be able to share the burden of the border army like this.

Although he only knew the general situation of the war in the north in his previous life, He Changdi wasn't stupid enough to just sit and wait for death after being reborn.

When he saw the situation of the border army with his own eyes, he still sighed in his heart. He understood that his preparations were still too little. Perhaps he could save the border army for a while, but he wouldn't be able to cure the root of the problem.

However, He Changdi's time in the border army was limited. It wasn't easy for him to do all he could in such a short amount of time.

"Lieutenant, there seems to be people over there!"

He Changdi's thoughts were startled back to reality by the soldier on duty standing next to him. His eyes focused on the snowstorm in the distance.

The snowstorm blocked most of his vision, but he could still clearly make out a group of people and horses.

He Changdi's eyes moved, and the 'ice' on his face melted a little. He gestured to the soldiers on the watchtower and quickly walked down the watchtower. At the bottom of the watchtower, he loudly ordered his soldiers. Then, he mounted his horse and led his soldiers out of the camp, running towards the group of people in the wind and snow.

The soldiers on the watchtower waved small red flags and made a few movements. The patrolling soldiers immediately notified their respective generals. Not long after, several hundred people rushed out.

Before they reached the group of people in the snowstorm, He Changdi directly flipped off his horse and landed steadily in front of the leader of the group.

When they came closer, He Changdi's personal attendants could see that this was a caravan. It was a long and slender team, followed by more than 20 carriages. Each carriage was a freight carriage, and the carriages were bulging with bulging bags.

His subordinates' eyes instantly lit up, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This … this carriage couldn't be carrying food, right?!

They really hadn't eaten their fill for many days.

The leader sat on the shaft of the carriage at the very front. He was wrapped in a fur cloak and wore a huge fur hat, revealing only his eyes.

At this time, his gaze also fell on He Sanlang. He stumbled and rolled down from the shaft of the carriage. He stumbled two steps towards He Changdi before reaching him.

Then, he immediately knelt down and bawled, ignoring the snow that reached his calves. "Third Young Master, I'm finally back. I didn't let you down!"

Lai Yue's voice was hoarse, and his face was badly battered by the wind.

He didn't care about his image and wailed loudly, with snot and tears running down his face. Needless to say, he looked very pathetic.

He Changdi found it funny to see him like this, but he felt warm in his heart. He had not misjudged him in this life.

"Come on, get up. Don't tell me you want to spend the night in the snow?"

He Sanlang's voice was still as cold as ice, but anyone could hear the concern in his words.

Lai Yue immediately rolled and crawled up from the snow. There were still traces of tears on his face. He casually wiped them with his sleeves and rolled down the fur wrapped around his neck, revealing his face.

After not seeing him for a few months, Lai Yue's originally round and slightly chubby face had completely slimmed down. Now, he had some manly edges.

It was just that his beard was unkempt, his lips were chapped, and his cheeks were chapped. He really couldn't look at him. He had been on tenterhooks for many days leading the grain team to the north. Now that the mission was completed, he could finally put down the huge stone in his heart. He smiled at He Changdi, looking as silly as one could imagine.

When the bodyguard beside him heard the conversation between the lieutenant and the man in front of him, he was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close.

From the looks of it, this man in front of them was actually the lieutenant's man?

Could it be said that these supplies would be given to the military camp in the future?

None of his entourage could conceal the joy on their faces.

The wind and snow were strong. When the snowflakes hit their faces, it was still cold and painful.

He Changdi's orders were straightforward. He had the bodyguards take over the grain team Lai Yue brought back. He had Lai Yue get on a horse and follow him back to the camp to report the good news.

Lai Yue knew that time was tight. He braced himself and explained the situation to He Changdi on the way back to the camp.

"Third young master, this lowly one has followed your orders and purchased grain around the Yueqin Mountain Range. After two months, we only managed to gather four thousand loads. When we entered Liangzhou territory, we encountered barbarian bandits and lost another three to four hundred loads. Together with the losses we suffered back and forth, by the time we reach the interior of Liangzhou, we only have three thousand loads left."

Three thousand loads of grain!

If it was according to normal military provisions, it would only be enough for an army of fifty thousand for six to seven days. Even in this type of special time, it definitely wouldn't be enough for ten days.

The border army's supplies were already running low. These three thousand loads of grain could only be used for a moment of urgency. They were still far from entering a dangerous situation!

They had to think of another way!

He Changdi clenched his fists tightly, the reins almost snapping!

He looked at the camp in the distance, his eyes deep and bottomless. His handsome face was firm and determined. He cheered himself on in his heart.

He was no longer the He Changdi of his previous life. He would definitely think of a way for the border army to survive this crisis!

This kind of wind and snow would continue for at least a month. They had to hold on for at least a month before they could seize the opportunity to counterattack and take down the Tuhun army in one fell swoop!

When He Changdi brought Lai Yue down from his horse at the entrance of the camp, he discovered that Great General Qian was waiting at the entrance with all the generals in the army.

At this time, Great General Qian was smiling like a flower. He stared at He Changdi as if he was looking at a granary. It was likely that the vanguard had already informed Great General Qian of the arrival of the grain team.

He Sanlang still had a cold expression on his face. This time, Great General Qian didn't dislike him at all. He came up and patted He Changdi's shoulder forcefully. He then lifted his hand that was about to salute. "You brat, you still have a trick up your sleeve. Come, let's go to this old man's tent first to talk."

He Changdi gave Lai Yue a look, telling him to follow.

He Sanlang and Lai Yue stayed in the commander's tent for a full two hours before they were released.

Lai Yue's face was full of joy. He followed behind his young master like an annoying duck. "Third Young Master, did you hear that?

Great General said that you have made a great contribution this time. When the war in the north is over, you can return to Shengjing.

Heh heh heh, the roads in the north are all blocked by the wind and snow. Otherwise, this lowly one would definitely write a letter to the manor to tell this good news. If Third Young Mistress knew, she would be so happy! "

He Changdi had already calmed down by this time. He wasn't as happy as Lai Yue. The greatest source of trouble for the northern border army hadn't been eliminated. He had asked Lai Yue to transport grain this time only to solve the urgent problem and delay the outbreak of the crisis.

He couldn't be happy at all.

Once he was unhappy, his mood would inevitably be affected. Lai Yue didn't know what to do and mentioned Chu Lian.

He Changdi narrowed his eyes. Chu Lian, that vicious woman.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been so miserable in his previous life. Then he wouldn't have been reborn and come to this side of the army just to fight for a chance of survival!

He Changdi snorted coldly. "Third Young Mistress bought you over with a meal of braised pork?

You're too worthless! "

Lai Yue shrunk his neck. From this mocking tone, he also understood that his master was angry. But he was clearly fine just now. Why was he unhappy now?

Lai Yue scratched his head in confusion. He really couldn't understand his young master's complicated thoughts.

"Then this lowly one won't tell Third Young Mistress. I'll only tell the Matriarch and Madam. They must be very happy."

He Changdi sneered. Could this little manservant grow some brains? If he wrote a letter back, based on how much Grandmother doted on that vicious woman, would she not tell her?

He Sanlang realized that he was thinking of a silly possibility. He paused for a moment, then tightly pursed his thin lips.

He said, "You don't have to think about writing a letter. Your Third Young Mistress is in Liangzhou City right now."

He Changdi's tone was calm, but Lai Yue jumped in shock. His eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Third Young Master, what did you say?

Third Young Mistress is in Liangzhou? "

What came back was He Sanlang's sneer. It was so cold that it almost froze people.

Lai Yue now really believed that Third Young Mistress was in Liangzhou.

He hurriedly said, "Then this lowly one will rest for two days. Once my body recovers, I'll go visit Third Young Mistress. It's definitely not easy for a woman like Third Young Mistress to come to Liangzhou …"

Hearing Lai Yue muttering in his ear about how it was not easy for a woman to travel far away, He Changdi's cold expression slowly softened.

In his mind, he subconsciously sketched out the image of Chu Lian wearing a thin dress, holding the hem of her dress as she walked in the snow with great difficulty. Her beautiful embroidered shoes had long been soaked, and her small face had also been blown red by the wind. Her clear and big eyes were brimming with tears, yet she was trying her best not to let them fall.

The wind was too strong, and she was almost blown into the snow. That vicious woman suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a pair of watery but wronged eyes. He Changdi's body stiffened. He wanted nothing more than to reach out and catch her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and use his thick cloak to wrap her whole body in his arms.

But in reality, He Sanlang was thinking too much. Chu Lian had been warming a charcoal brazier in the carriage the entire time, holding a hand warmer, wearing a fur coat and thick-soled boots with fur added inside. She hadn't even suffered frostbite, so how could she walk in the snow?

If He Sanlang, who loved to imagine things, knew the truth, would he be angry at himself or at Chu Lian, that vicious woman?

This time, He Changdi remained silent. He didn't agree or disagree, but Lai Yue had been following his master for a long time. How could he not understand his master's meaning?

In reality, his family's Third Young Master was very kind-hearted. It was just that he often couldn't bring himself to do it.

Lai Yue laughed mischievously, taking it as He Sanlang's tacit agreement.

After talking about these happy matters, the smile on Lai Yue's face slowly disappeared.

He solemnly said, "Third Young Master, it wasn't that this lowly one didn't want to buy more food in the Yueqin Mountain Range. It was just that this lowly one didn't have enough money on hand. The money you gave me, as well as the jade pendants and other items, this lowly one didn't keep a single one.
