Chapter 1146: Pressure (2)
Ji Xiaowu looked at them, then looked at the Fourth Prince. "How many days will it take for you to return?"
"Madam General, the march will take three days..." The general glanced at Ji Xiaou and answered respectfully.
"Is that amount of food enough?" asked Aunt Ji. Isn't this just the amount for their day?
"This is enough for them to sustain for five days. When there is no fighting, the troops are marched on the lowest rations, which means a small piece of sweet potato per person." Bai Yichen whispered in Ji Xiaomu's ear and explained.
During a war, the food might only be enough for one day, but if they were just marching back, the food would be enough for them to return to their territory.
"Give them another three hundred kilograms!" said Ji Xiaomu to Bai Yichen.
"Why?" Bai Yichen asked puzzledly.
"Carry out the deterrence to the end!" Mother Ji blinked at Bai Yichen, who nodded in understanding, realizing what she meant.
"Give us another three hundred kilograms!" Bai Yichen waved his hand, and the Hu family disciples went back and brought back another three hundred kilograms.
When the generals heard Bai Yichen's words, they were so excited that they almost cried and kowtowed to thank him again and again.
The Fourth Prince fell silent and suddenly felt a little regretful. The soldiers felt grateful. How could he attack Heyang City in the future?
"We will go back and fetch the ore now! Master, please wait for us!" The generals saluted the Fourth Prince and said seriously.
The generals pushed the food, and the soldiers cheered in unison when they saw that there was finally food.
Although he was called the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince himself could not smile at all.
"Fourth Prince, please?" Bai Yichen glanced at the Fourth Prince Li Hao and said lightly.
Fang Chen picked up Ji Xiaomu, who turned around and waved to the Fourth Prince. "Fourth Prince, welcome to Heyang City!"
After saying that, Fang Chen quickened his pace and entered the city first.
Bai Yichen and the disciples of the Hu family brought the Fourth Prince to the Bai family and happened to meet Old Bai who was about to go out fishing. The Fourth Prince was stunned to see Old Bai looking so relaxed and at ease.
When Old Bai saw Bai Yichen and the Fourth Prince Li Hao coming in, he raised his eyebrows. "Am I getting old and blurry so quickly? How come I saw the Fourth Prince in Heyang City?"
"Mr. Bai, how are you?" The fourth prince Li Hao saluted to Mr. Bai.
"Oh, this really is the Fourth Prince? What brings you to Heyang City?" Old Bai glanced at Bai Yichen. Bai Yichen shrugged his shoulders and pointed upwards. Old Bai understood.
"The wind of food." said the Fourth Prince in frustration.
"This... the winner takes all, that's normal! Let my grandson Yi Chen entertain you well. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Old Bai smiled, nodded to the Fourth Prince, then turned around and went out with his fishing gear.
"..." The fourth prince Li Hao looked at his leisurely appearance, puzzled.
I really can't understand, in this chaotic world, how can Mr. Bai still have the leisure to go fishing?
Shouldn't he join the prince and become a meritorious official? How could he...be so obsessed with pleasure?
"Let's go!" Bai Yichen glanced at the Fourth Prince's face, took him to the side courtyard of the Bai family, and arranged him in the small courtyard.
"You can stay here for a few days! You can leave when your people deliver the ore." Bai Yichen yawned out of boredom, waved his hand casually, and left.
The Fourth Prince Li Hao had never expected that they would just throw him into this yard so casually. Apart from the servants, there wasn't even a guard to guard the gate.
