Chapter 222: Disappearing Food
Shuqin looked at her puzzledly:
"No, it's too much. We'll get caught. When we were transporting the food earlier, I don't know how many people were watching us."
If you do business in his place, it's easy for something to go wrong. He doesn't know how many people are watching him now.
Tangning soothed him:
"Don't worry, I'll evacuate your people when the time comes. Give me one night and we'll all be moved out."
Shuqin thought she was joking. Did she know how much grain that was?
Normally, such a large amount of food would require at least an army to transport.
Although no one knows how they transported it, nor how many troops Prince Ning gave to Princess Ning, it is obviously impossible to do it in one night.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Because King Ning had limited manpower at his disposal, he couldn't send many soldiers to accompany Tang Ning to transport food, and there was a limit to how many soldiers would leave the border without permission.
He was about to say something more, but Tangning placed the banknote in front of him.
"In one night, I'll take as much as I can. These banknotes are all yours."
Tang Ning had originally been thinking about how to lower the price once she arrived.
Since you don't trust her so much, then just watch.
"Alright, since the princess insists on this, then I won't be polite. No matter how much the princess can take, I will not return the banknotes."
These banknotes would definitely not be enough to buy all his food, but he couldn't believe that he could move all the food away quietly in one night.
"It's a word."
"It's a deal!"
Honesty is the key to doing business. He would definitely fulfill the bet he made, but Princess Ning, a weak woman, was so arrogant.
If he can't move it by then, he will be blamed for being difficult.
"Your people can come back at daybreak. If we cause any noise and get discovered, you can bring your people here directly and our deal will end early."
Although he had heard many rumors about Tangning, this was the first time he had seen someone so confident.
Thinking of the mountains of grain, Shuqin agreed without hesitation. He was sure to make money from this deal.
The harvested grain has not yet been packed into bags, and it will take a lot of time just to pack it into bags.
"Princess Ning, I wish you good luck!"
Shuqin withdrew all her men, just like Tang Ning did back then.
But at that time there was only a limited amount of food, so they moved away after taking more people.
With so much food now, he didn't believe anyone could move it all out overnight.
Master Shuqin kept his promise and evacuated all his men. Tang Ning stayed inside alone to recuperate.
Night fell quickly, and Shuqin was worried, so she left a lot of people to keep an eye on it.
After all, if something happened to the princess with him, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
But it was already the middle of the night when his men came back to report that there was still no movement.
He was a little annoyed. Women are troublesome. They are so confident and think they really have this ability.
It turned out that she simply didn't want to take any bags, so in the end she would either have to help her pack the food or return the banknotes to her.
You should have said it earlier, instead of wasting time and energy.
Women are troublesome. She still thinks that she can transform from a village girl into a princess. She must be quite capable.
It turns out to be just a paper tiger, a piece of trash.
He planned to go and help with his men and had no time to waste with her. However, he felt a headache when he thought of the pressure those people would put on him.
After thinking about it, he couldn't sit still. After all, it was the food that the prince wanted. If the food was delayed, it would be his fault in the end.
If the military intelligence is delayed, he will probably suffer the consequences as well.
This is the last time I helped you. I won’t be so stupid again. The favor I owe to Gu Mufeng ends here.
Thinking of this, he took a group of people to the warehouse.
I didn't expect it to be so quiet inside, without a trace of light. This shouldn't be the case. Even if it was to prevent the granary from catching fire, it shouldn't be so dark.
His face darkened. Could something have happened to Princess Ning?
"Princess, are you there?"
With his shout, the huge sound echoed in the empty warehouse.
Each sound stimulated everyone's ears.
The servant beside him stretched the torch forward and looked at the warehouse in front of him in disbelief.
Including Master Shuqin, he felt a little unbelievable. Maybe he had not woken up yet and must be dreaming. He looked at the scene in front of him.
The food that was originally piled up full was gone.
Not a drop was left. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
"Where's the food?"
It took Shuqin a while to find his voice again. He had been staying up late for so long that his eyes looked a little blurry. The huge stimulation gave him an unbearable headache.
He must be hallucinating.
"All the food is gone!"
"Did we see it wrong?"
"How could a group of people be wrong?"
Someone beside me swallowed their saliva. Anyone who was there would know that this was absolutely impossible.
But now this impossible thing actually happened beside them and in front of them.
What a hell!
Master Shuqin looked around and confirmed that there was no more food. He said solemnly, his face gloomy:
"Pass the word down. No one is allowed to spread it. Just say we moved it. If anyone knows who spreads it, I will cut off his tongue with my own hands and let his family eat it with wine."
The servants around Shuqin were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground and swear not to reveal the matter.
Shuqin returned to her house in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on.
He took out the secret report and read it again and again. It said that Princess Ning was acting strangely and that everything about her needed to be reported.
Thinking about what happened today, he hesitated whether to report it.
After thinking about it, he wrote a less exaggerated letter and handed it in.
After all, even if he didn't say anything about this kind of thing, if a large amount of food appeared at the border later, the matter would definitely be exposed.
I'm afraid that by then, no one on either side will help him.
"Tangning!"
He savored the two words carefully, and felt that they were somehow so familiar to him, as if he had known her for a long time.
That shouldn't be the case. He has never forgotten it since he was a child. How could that be possible?
"Who are you?"
He thought back to when they first met, she was clearly just an ordinary woman.
If there is any difference, it is that she is braver than other women.
Faced with her ex-husband and her love rival, she dared to divorce him directly and then beat his ex-husband.
But he always felt that it shouldn't be like this, she shouldn't have this kind of personality.
He checked Tang Ning and found out that she was an ordinary young woman who married early, and her husband was quite talented.
Unfortunately, he only has some talent, but he doesn't know how to adapt and doesn't understand human nature.
However, it turned out that Tang Ning's personality was not like that. It was because the Shen family pushed her into a corner that her personality changed drastically.
