Chapter 325: A Gift To The World

Rong Yan immediately threw away all the thoughts in his mind, such as Why is she here”, “How did she come here”, “Why did she come”, and “I have to send her back like a way”. He came to her using his Qinggong. “What’s wrong? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?”

Xiaoxiao stuffed a biscuit into his mouth as she turned around. “I’m fine. How did you end up like this?”

The messenger and the soldiers who followed him were stunned. Then, they saw the dignified and calm Third Prince’s cheeks move as he started to chew with a cold expression.

Xiaoxiao sighed. “It wasn’t easy for me to fatten up this child.”

Rong Yan couldn’t help but smile. “Does your family know that you’re here?

Xiaoxiao nodded. “They know.”

Rong Yan asked again, “They all agree?”

Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered. “They didn’t agree at first…”

However, she straightened her back at the second half of the sentence.

“However, everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the country. No matter how reluctant they are, they can’t refuse.

She blinked at Rong Yan. “Let’s see what I brought you first.”

Rong Yan’s gaze first swept across the ovens and baked biscuits. To be honest, he was very grateful for Xiaoxiao’s intentions, but it was a drop in the bucket. To a 100,000-strong army, these were really…

It was really too little. It was not even enough for each person to take a bite.

Just as this thought passed through his mind, he saw Xiaoxiao grab his hand.

Her eyes were serious and her tone was a little anxious.

“Bring your men and follow me to a place.”

Li Muyan still had something to do. When he saw Xiaoxiao and the others enter the military camp, he left on his own. He really didn’t know if he had escorted them and protected them along the way or the other way around.

Occasionally, they would encounter bandits who blocked the road. Their escorts had yet to take action, but those people, who were with Ning Xiaoxiao, dealt with them in a few moves.

Perhaps they just wanted to use his business as a cover to come to the border openly?

Shaking his head, he threw away his doubts and began to walk towards his destination with the goods from the Imperial Capital.

On a fork not far from them, Rong Yan followed Xiaoxiao’s request and brought

200 strong soldiers to a grotto.

The soldiers who followed her were actually quite dissatisfied. They were already tired and hungry, but they still had to run around with this young lady. What was going on?

Those who were more arrogant were already whispering, “Don’t tell me you want us to take this girl on a sightseeing trip?”

“Not to that extent. Third Prince doesn’t seem to be such a troublemaker. Besides, this place is desolate. What mountains and rivers can there be to sightsee?”

Just as they were whispering to each other, Yun Er and the other guards’ faces suddenly darkened. “Who is it?”

A smiling man walked out from the dark. He was wearing a navy blue robe with the word “empty” embroidered on his chest. When he saw everyone, he did not dodge and only walked to Xiaoxiao openly. “Miss, do you have the token?” Xiaoxiao took out a small lock with a serious expression and handed it to this person. That person looked at it for a moment, but his smile did not change. “The thing is inside. We’ll take our leave first. Miss, please don’t forget your agreement with our Master and don’t mention him to anyone.”

Xiaoxiao nodded. “Don’t worry, Sir.”

Rong Yan, Yun Er, and the others were all curious. Xiaoxiao raised her chin and they walked into the cave warily and expectantly.

The torch illuminated the darkness and the neat sacks in the cave. Rong Yan s heart was pounding. “This is?”

Xiaoxiao only smiled at him as she opened the sack closest to them.

“It’s food. It’s a gift from Mr. Yuan to the world.”

Other than Grandpa Yuan, Xiaoxiao could not find anyone else who was more qualified to be owed a favor. She hoped that the kind old man would not blame her.

Rong Yan was stunned. “Mr. Yuan?”

Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, it’s the one you know. He’s actually outside the pass. After knowing the situation at the border, he collected a lot of rice and grains and was just waiting to send them to you.”

She pursed her lips. “If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t believe in others. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t believe that there was nothing wrong with the food I brought. So, do you think I have to specially come to look for you?” “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if you keep pulling a long face at me?

Rong Yan couldn’t win against her. Coupled with this sudden surprise, he was really happy. The corners of his lips finally curled up.

Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “That’s more like it. Let’s move the food back now, alright? Oh right, remember to tell the soldiers not to follow Mr. Yuan’s men. He only wants to focus on studying farming and doesn’t want to be disturbed.” Rong Yan naturally wouldn’t refuse. He immediately called for the soldiers who were dumbfounded to start moving.

No wonder Xiaoxiao specially asked him to bring the tall and strong people over and even prepared many carts to pull the goods. After they returned to the military camp, Rong Yan went to arrange the military matters, while Xiaoxiao personally rolled up her sleeves and found someone to lead the way to the kitchen.

The soldier who led the way was shocked. “Miss wants to cook for us?

Xiaoxiao nodded and said without any modesty, “I cook very well. I guarantee that you guys will still want to eat after eating!”

The soldier was conflicted. “It’s good to eat, but we don’t have much food. We have to be thrifty.”

Xiaoxiao patted her chest and promised, “You can eat all the rice we brought. We won’t be able to finish it in three to five days!”

The little soldier thought to himself, What about three to five days later? Should we continue to starve?

However, looking at Xiaoxiao’s young face, he still swallowed his words.

Forget it, forget it. The young lady had come all the way here to help. Why did he say those disappointing words? He could just happily accept her kindness. This young lady clearly did not understand what kind of hard work it was to cook for so many people. She might just complain that she was tired and quit later. At that time, they could control the amount of rice they used.

When Xiaoxiao went to familiarize herself with the stove, Rong Yan also learned about this trip from the Xiao Family’s guards.

“So those people already said that they would only be willing to give food to Xiaoxiao when they saw her?”

No wonder Uncle Ning and Auntie Ning let her come to such a dangerous place. “Brother Chen, did you follow her because Aunt Xiao has met Xiaoxiao too? Does she… like Xiaoxiao?”

The guards of the Xiao Residence nodded repeatedly. “Miss is smart and kind. General and Mr. Gu dote on her from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren’t for the fact that General’s leg is injured and it’s inconvenient for her to walk, she definitely wouldn’t be willing to be separated from Miss.”

Rong Yan’s eyes lit up. “Miss? Aunt Xiao has already acknowledged Xiaoxiao as her daughter?”

The few of them looked at each other and exchanged glances. They remembered that the General and Miss had said that they wanted to surprise the Third Prince, so they were vague. “More or less.”

After figuring it out, Rong Yan couldn’t wait to finish his work and run to the kitchen to look for Xiaoxiao.

The soldier who brought Xiaoxiao to the kitchen could no longer find his chin. He saw that after this thin and small girl walked around the kitchen a few times, she acted as if she was at home and stood beside the huge stove, busy. Not only that she wasn’t tired, this young lady was in high spirits and looked quite happy. Her slender arms were holding the spatula and waving it vigorously!

Retreat in the face of difficulties? No way!
