Walking out of the desert and seeing the green land meant that they had entered the core area of the southern frontier.

The core of the southern frontier was also known as the eastern oasis. The geographical distribution was very strange. With Baye City as the center, there was a grassland on the left, a forest on the right, and an endless sea in front.

Bai Wutong liked the sea and the beach and hoped to move to a suitable seaside with Chu Tianbao.

As long as they reached Baye City and successfully settled down, they could choose their residence.

The commoners accompanying them had been anxious along the way, afraid that the desert would never end. After walking out of the desert, everyone was filled with hope for the future.

After the team walked for another day, they finally saw the tent where the army was stationed.

Bai Wutong looked out of the window. Beside the army’s tent, many soldiers were carrying buckets and digging something in the grass.

When their huge team arrived, the soldiers carried their wooden buckets and hurriedly ran closer. Only then did Bai Wutong see clearly that these emaciated soldiers were carrying wild vegetables that they had dug up in the wooden buckets.

It was the season of spring. Apart from the grass, there was only grass around. They could only dig up some wild vegetables.

Bai Wutong frowned slightly and asked Chu Tianbao, “Could it be that these soldiers are digging for wild vegetables to survive?”

Chu Tianbao’s glabella, area between the brows, was frowning even tighter than hers. ‘The Imperial Court used to transport military rations.”

When they first settled down on the Jade Spiritual Mountain, the price of food was ridiculously high because the government kept saying that they wanted to save the food for the commoners fighting at the front line.

At that time, he had even gained a lot of favorable impression points, making the commoners feel that it was a very impressive thing for their loved ones to be able to eat their fill after going to the battlefield.

But the soldiers in front of them were about to collapse from the wind, and it made everyone’s eyes sting.

Compared to Feng Xun and Feng Yue’s subordinates, they were really too thin and weak. It almost made people think that they were hungry refugees in disguise.

When the soldiers saw the food cart in their team, they suddenly shouted excitedly, “Food is here! Food is here! We have food!”

Their wolf-like eyes made the commoners a little afraid. These were their food. What would they eat if they gave it to these soldiers?

Looking at the dilapidated state of the southern frontier, it was very likely that they would not have anything to eat even if they reached Baye City.

The commoners of the team shouted, ‘This is our food! What do you want! ” The soldiers were furious when they heard that.

They had guarded the southern frontier for so long and had finally survived the winter. Now that there was food, these people were still unwilling to distribute it to them.

Immediately, a few hungry soldiers pulled out their sabers. “Hand over the food!”

No one expected their own people to become the obstacles.

The moment the soldiers pulled out their sabers, Qingfeng and the others also drew their swords.

Immediately after, the soldiers in the team drew their weapons with a whoosh under You Huaijie’s gaze.

Both sides were from Ling Kingdom, but they were facing each other like this. The soldiers were enraged and roared again, “Hand over the food!!!”

Without food, they would starve to death even if they were not killed by the rebels.

It was not easy for them to survive the battlefield. Who would want to die so aggrievedly?

You Huaijie rode over. “Your rations and salary will be transported over soon. This is the food for the southern frontier migrants.”

The soldiers were furious. “How long will that be? We’ve been waiting all winter!”

As they roared, they raised their sabers and rushed forward. “Dog official! Hand over the food!”

It was all because these dog officials had pocketed the food, otherwise how could the rations for winter be gone?

The people from both sides immediately started fighting. The commoners cowered and hid, afraid that they would be implicated.

You Huaijie’s eyes darkened. “We can give it to you, but you can’t snatch it. ‘

It was fine to give away some first to deal with the emergency for the soldiers, but it was inappropriate for them to snatch it.

Even if they were on the same side, they had to build a good relationship with Marshal Gu. As the governor of the southern frontier, You Huaijie could not let them be impudent.

Just as the soldier’s throat was about to be slit by Qingfeng.

The soldiers’ intense roars alarmed Lu Ye from the tent. He walked out with his subordinates and saw the scene in front of him. His eyes suddenly darkened.

“Stop!’

The soldiers instantly stopped and quickly gathered in a team formation in front of Lu Ye.

Lu Ye’s sharp gaze sized up these soldiers. “You have no respect for military discipline. Everyone, go and receive 10 military beatings!”

The soldiers did not dare to disobey. They all lined up to receive their beatings.

The commoners looked at the dignified Lu Ye and their eyes lit up. Was this Marshal Gu?

He looked a little young.

However, he had an upright way of settling matters and left a good impression on the commoners.

Lu Ye looked at You Huaijie, who had alighted from the horse, and cupped his hands. “Governor, I’m General Lu Ye.”

He bowed properly, but one could tell from his tone and eyes that he was dissatisfied with You Huaijie.

You Huaijie did not take his rudeness seriously. Instead, he asked, “Where’s your rations?”

When he asked about the rations, Lu Ye lowered his eyes and said in a rushed and anxious tone, “1 still want to ask the Governor about the rations!’

‘We fought for the Ling Kingdom, but we’re going to starve to death!’

You Huaijie frowned. “The emperor had just sent 3,000 dans of rations to the soldiers of the southern frontier last autumn.”

Lu Ye sneered. “How dare you talk about that 3,000 dans of rations? Would you eat moldy rations?’

“All moldy rations?”

Lu Ye sneered. “Not entirely. It’s just 90% moldy.”

“The person in charge of gathering rations for the soldiers of the southern frontier is the Eldest Prince’s subordinates. If it’s true, why weren’t there be any reports?”

Lu Ye said, “Hell, after the war is over, our lives are not worth mentioning.”

You Huaijie was still not too clear about the current situation in the Ling Kingdom ‘s court, but most of the officials of the previous dynasties were the same. It was very likely that their interests were involved, or they were afraid of trouble and chose to hide this matter.

After all, the officials in charge of the rations in the southern frontier had already become key ministers in the imperial court and were also working under the Eldest Prince.

If the matter was exposed, as the only son of Emperor Linghui, the Eldest Prince would at most be reprimanded, whereas the lives of the others might not be saved.

You Huaijie glanced at the soldiers behind Lu Ye. “How many people are stationed here? Why don’t you think of a way to find something to eat in the southern frontier?’

Lu Ye smiled disdainfully. “My mission is to guard this place. Look at this place again. What can we eat? Let us farm? Sure, sure. Where are the seeds? Where’s the water? Where’s the food and money?”

They were in the grassland, and the surrounding wild animals no longer dared to approach. They could only eat and dig up some wild vegetables or wait for Marshal Gu to send someone to the southern frontier to find some food to transport over.

But the locals did not grow food at all, and the food they could find was very limited.

Everyone had been waiting for the Imperial Court to deliver some food again. In the end, when the people arrived and refused to give them the food in front of them, the soldiers who had endured for so long were naturally excited..
