Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 99: Shrinking Turtle

A short while later, Dali brought out a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

"eat."

Su Yue was surprised that Dali had actually learned to cook; she was determined to give it a try.

"Yeah, Dali, you're amazing." Su gave Dali a thumbs up while picking at the noodles in her bowl.

To be honest, the noodles were okay, but they weren't particularly delicious.

Compared to when I first met Dali, her cooking skills are now much better.

She couldn't afford to discourage Dali's confidence.

When someone is praised excessively, their mouth closes in delight.

After dinner, Su Yue asked Shen Lerong, "Lerong, are you planning to go home?"

Shen Lerong was suddenly asked by Su Yue that she had never thought of going back since she settled here.

She knocked on the city gate for so long, but her father never came to open it.

Now she wants to stay with Su Yue and doesn't want to go back.

"I want to stay with you, I don't want to go back."

Su Yue knew this would be the answer. "I will set off tomorrow to deliver those people outside to General Liang."

"It's not very safe. How about I have someone escort you and Chun Tao to Kyoto? They're building the Zhaixing Pavilion there, and you can go and oversee it. What do you say?"

Shen Lerong knew that if she insisted on going with Su Yue, Su Yue would agree.

But she didn't want that. If they wanted her to go to Kyoto, they must have their reasons, and it was all for her own good.

Shen Lerong thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

That night, Dali stayed with Su Yue and couldn't be driven away no matter what he did.

In the end, Su Yue kept Dali behind, and the two of them squeezed into one bed.

The next day, at daybreak, Su Yue ordered seven or eight imperial guards to escort Shen Lerong and Chun Tao to the capital.

He then stored the small villa and convenience store inside his space, leaving only a fence around them.

Su Yue had someone bring Wang Defa over and took out two piles of grain from her spatial storage, one of which she instructed him to distribute to those who needed it.

One pile contains grain seeds that will be planted next spring.

"These grain seeds are for you to plant in the spring. If you eat them, there won't be any left."

"Make sure to preserve it well. After spring, organize people to reclaim as much wasteland as possible so that we won't go hungry again," Su Yue instructed.

"Yes, I will definitely keep these people in check and cultivate more wasteland after the spring. I will not let down the good intentions of the immortal envoy." Wang Defa said when he saw that there was suddenly so much grain and grain seeds.

They couldn't hide their gratitude; they had all fled the famine because they had nothing to eat or drink due to the drought.

From the moment I left, I never imagined that I would still have land to cultivate in the future.

Every household in the village had a few acres of barren land, and when they fled the famine, they were so hungry that they ate all the grain seeds.

Unexpectedly, there are still grain seeds available now, so these refugees will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat.

After doing all this, Su Yue and Dali got into the carriage and headed to the battlefield where General Liang Rong was located.

Upon hearing the news that Su Yue was leaving, all the refugees rushed out and knelt down in front of the carriage, ignoring the cold ground.

They were deeply grateful to Su Yue for exchanging food for them when they were on the verge of starvation.

That's what kept them alive until now, preventing them from starving to death far from home.

Now that the celestial messengers are leaving, they have left them so many grain seeds.

This is saving their lives!

Su Yue lifted the curtain of the car and waved to the people outside.

"Let's go!"

Soon the carriages and people disappeared from sight, and the refugees got up from the ground and ran to check on the grain seeds.

Dali, who was in the carriage, pushed Qiaoxiang aside with his buttocks, then sat down next to Su Yue and fed her dried longan.

Qiaoxiang wasn't angry, and she and Qiaoyun brewed tea together.

Perhaps because Su Yue's reputation had spread along the way, she didn't encounter many foolish bandits.

Even when passing through towns, the county magistrate would open the city gates wide to welcome Su Yue in.

Su Yue returned to Ping'an Town this time, taking the official roads, and the journey was smooth. She arrived at her destination in just a few days.

The Xiongnu have already attacked Ping'an Town, crossed Anyang County, and reached Qingshi Town.

If it weren't for the unique terrain of Qing Shi Town, it would have been captured long ago. Now that General Liang Rong is guarding Qing Shi Town, it would have been taken down anyway.

At that time, the entire Great An Kingdom will be someone else's territory.

When Su Yue arrived at Qing Shi Town with the Imperial Guards and nearly 10,000 bandits, it was already dark.

Su Yue handed the bandits over to Liang Rong, instructing him to train them himself. Those who obeyed could stay, while those who were disobedient could be used as cannon fodder.

Anyway, they're all parasites if they stay in Da'an. At least they can contribute a little bit of their remaining energy, which can be considered as repaying Da'an.

Liang Rong agreed with what Su Yue said and immediately ordered his men to take the bandits away and train them separately.

Liang Rong already knew Su Yue was coming and had already prepared the best courtyard in town for her.

I was worried that Su Yue would dislike me, but to my surprise, Su Yue moved in with her people.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At midnight, the Xiongnu army was shouting outside the city.

When Su Yue was woken up by Liang Rong's men, she originally wanted to do a quick, breezy wake-up.

Upon hearing the Xiongnu shouting and cursing outside the city, he became interested.

They called Dali, who was still fast asleep, and hurriedly went up to the city wall.

The wind on the city tower was quite strong at night, so strong that it stung people's faces.

Su Yue didn't want her fair and tender face to be blown into the shape of a monkey's bottom.

She quickly took out two rabbit fur scarves that Shen Lerong had made for her before she left, from her spatial storage.

One should be taken care of by oneself, and the other should be taken care of by Dali.

When Liang Rong saw Su Yue arrive, he hurriedly went to greet her.

“Immortal Envoy, these Huns are cursing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. Are they disturbing your rest? Should we go down and beat them into submission?”

Su Yue rolled her eyes at Liang Rong. She hadn't heard him at all. If he hadn't gone to the trouble of having someone call him, who would have heard him? Now he's starting to pretend.

"No need, let them curse if they want!"

Liang Rong never expected Su Yue to say that. He thought Su Yue would directly use magic to deal with the Xiongnu outside. He had miscalculated.

Sigh! I wonder if the celestial messenger will be angry and strangle me. I should have known better than to send someone to call him.

Su Yue and Dali found a spot and started looking down from the city wall.

It was pitch black that day, and all that could be seen below were a dozen or so people on horseback carrying torches, cursing.

"You coward, come down and compete with me! What's the point of hiding in your shell all the time...?"

"Hahaha... That's right, is General Liang of the Great An Kingdom really nothing special? Hahaha... He's still hiding in his shell like a turtle, too afraid to come out..."

.......

Su Yue heard Liang Rong being called a coward. Hey, he's been insulted like that, and he still can't stay still.
