Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xie Heng brought the supplies officer to the warehouse, where they stored the actual supplies. Zhao Chuchu had already been waiting outside.
When the supplies officer saw that there was a woman outside the warehouse, his expression turned dark again. “Official Xie, I’m here to receive the supplies from you. I have no ti for this nonsense. If you can’t hand over the supplies today, don’t bla for taking drastic action!”
The mont he said that, all the soldiers behind him drew their blades and stared at Xie Heng coldly.
Xie Heng took a deep breath and told himself not to take the words of these military n to heart. “You’ve misunderstood. That’s my wife. She ca to Tianlang Checkpoint because she was appointed as a military doctor. So it’s not what you think.”
The supplies officer’s tanned face instantly turned red.
He thought that Xie Heng had brought a pretty lady here in an attempt to do sothing to him. But, unfortunately, it seed that he had misunderstood.
But the supplies officer knows when to yield and admit his faults. So he imdiately apologized. “Official Xie, I apologize for my impulsive comnts.
Mrs. Xie, too, please forgive my rash actions.”
Xie Heng pushed open the warehouse door and stepped inside as he said, “Take a look at the supplies.”
All three warehouses were filled with the supplies that they were tasked with delivering.
The supplies officer suppressed his embarrassnt and went inside with Xie Heng.
Bags of supplies were neatly stacked up and filled the entire warehouse.
Xie Heng said, “This is just 40 percent of it. There are more in the other warehouses.”
The supplies officer went forward. He sliced open one of the bags and picked out its contents. It was all good, new grains.
He checked twenty other bags at random. None of it was old grains mixed with sand.
The officer then checked the other two warehouses, and all of them were the sa.
He asked Xie Heng, “Official Xie, why did you go through so much trouble to swap out the supplies before delivering them?”
“Perhaps because l i m a very cautious person. It turns out I was right. So it’s good to be a bit more careful. Otherwise, if anything happens to our supplies, there is no way for the Dynasty Duke and his troops to hold Tianlang Checkpoint against the Rong Dynasty.”
The supplies officer knew that there was a tussle for power in the Imperial City, but he didn’t ask about the actual reason behind Xie Hengs actions.
As long as the supplies were in place, he did not need to worry about anything
“Allow to apologize for my actions previously. Official Xie, could you allow to bring that soldier who tried to report you back to my camp?
“Do what you want with him, but don’t kill him yet. We still need to report this to the imperial court.”
“Yes, I know how important this is.”
“Alright then, let’s finish up the takeover. The Dynasty Duke’s reinforcents should be here soon as well.”
“Yes, sir.”
Xie Heng spent three days verifying the supplies with the supplies officer and handing them over to him. After that, he finally completed his mission.
But Xie Heng wasn’t in a rush to return to the Imperial City.
Three days later, the Dynasty Duke and his troops finally arrived at Tianlang Checkpoint.
During this ti, there had been a ceasefire at Tianlang Checkpoint.
The Rong Dynasty’s troops would stand outside the walls and scoff at the Wei Dynasty’s army every day, saying that they were cowardly rats who could do nothing but hide in their fortress.
The soldiers were outraged by it, but their general ordered them not to leave the checkpoint and fight the Rong Dynasty’ s army. They weren’t allowed to leave without permission.
When the Dynasty Duke’s troops arrived, the soldiers felt their spirits lifted. The past few weeks had been extrely irritating and annoying for them.
Now that their supplies and reinforcents had arrived, they could finally fight these Rong Dynasty bastards.
Upon arriving at Tianlang Checkpoint, the Dynasty Duke did not stop to rest. Instead, he imdiately went onto the walls to see the deploynt of the Rong Dynasty’s troops.
The Rong Dynasty’s troops had pitched their tents just ten miles away from Tianlang Checkpoint. They were extrely arrogant, to say the least.
“Dynasty Duke, when are we going out there to kill those sons of bitches?” asked the deputy general excitedly. “We’ve been suppressing our anger this whole ti. We’re just waiting to go out there and kill those bastards.”
“How long have they been here for?”
“About half a month. They would co here every day to taunt us and shout at us to go out and fight them.”
“Since they are at our doorstep, how can we not fight them?” The Dynasty Duke sneered.
He started to deploy the troops when he ca down from the wall. The soldiers of Tianlang Checkpoint had been waiting for this day.
When the gates opened, their roars made the earth tremble.
The Rong Dynasty had been yelling at them for two weeks but received no response from the Wei Dynasty. So after a substantial amount of ti, their morale would definitely co down.
But the Wei Dynasty’s soldiers were different. They were all extrely furious.
On top of this, their confidence had been boosted by the arrival of
reinforcents..
