Jian Qingqing glanced behind him, did not see Granny Lin, and already had some premonitions in her heart, but she still asked, “Where is Granny Lin?”
Lin Zhiqing said calmly, “In the past few years, I have taken her around, and she is quite happy, but her body deteriorated. She passed away a few months ago. After I buried her, I did not have the heart to adventure any further. Later, when I heard that all the border gates were fighting, I thought you would be very busy, so I came to you.”
“My condolences.”
Lin Zhiqing shook his head and said with a slight smile, “It’s okay, this was already in my expectation, and she didn’t have any regrets when she left, so I can accept it calmly.”
Jian Qingqing took a closer look at him and found that although his brows and eyes were a little tired, he was not too haggard, and his temperament was completely different from a few years ago. She was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, and said with a smile, “That’s good, But you came just in time, and I just happened to have something I couldn’t find anyone to do.”
Since Lin Zhiqing said he would come to help her, Jian Qingqing was not polite.
The food she donated was too much, and it had not been transported to the treasury. She discussed with His Majesty and planned to transport it directly to the border.
However, this batch of food is too much, and it drew a lot of attention. Not to mention being greedy, the most fearful thing was encountering an ambush by the enemy. She could not find anyone she can fully trust for a while, so she had not started transporting it yet.
If she could not find someone to help her, she planned to go there herself.
But now that Lin Zhiqing is here, it was good to entrust this matter to him.
Jian Qingqing very much believed that Lin Zhiqing was fully capable of this, and she could trust his character. Lin Zhiqing agreed. “What’s the job?” “Transport the food to the border.”
Lin Zhiqing nodded. “Tell me the plan.”
Jian Qingqing planned to transport the first batch of grain to Ming Zhiyan’s army. Two days ago, news came that they had captured the four cities of Dongyue, and they were going to attack the Capital of Dongyue after a short rest.
But they have been marching for too long, and the previous batch of food is almost eaten up now, and the cities of Sang City have just experienced wars, and there is not so much food to support such a large army, so they have to buy from other people who have more food. The city was transported over. If it is not transported within this month, the progress of the attack may be delayed.
Lin Zhiqing asked jokingly, “Do you need me to bring anything else to him?” He had been traveling all over the world, so he did not keep up with much news. However, he heard about the engagement of Prince Ming and Princess Ding’an.
Jian Qingqing had a thick-skinned face, ignored his jokes, and said, “Then help me tell the soldiers that Great Wei will definitely win.”
Lin Zhiqing originally wanted to see her shy look, but he did not expect her to be so tough, so he sighed in disappointment, “Don’t worry, I will definitely bring do the job well for you.”
Even though he said that, on the day Lin Zhiqing set off, Jian Qingqing still gave him a thick letter and asked him to take it to Ming Zhiyan.
Ever since Ming Zhiyan went out to fight, the two of them rarely had the opportunity to communicate with each other, but Ming Zhiyan slipped a letter inside when the official sent news of the battlefield to the Capital.
Sometimes it’s a thin piece of paper with scribbled handwriting, it can be seen that it was written in a hurry, but even a thin piece of paper is full of his thoughts.
Occasionally, when he was free, he would write a thick letter, telling her about life there in detail..
