The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1036 - 1036 498 Siege (First Update)

?Chapter 1036: 498 Siege (First Update) Chapter 1036: 498 Siege (First Update) The news of Yuegu City going to war has been around for more than a day or two. Those civilians who could flee have fled, and those who could not have hoarded rice and grain at home. The rice and grain shops were bought out early on, and Gu Chengfeng was just lucky. The first shop he encountered happened to have a stockpile. The rest barely had enough for their own consumption.

Gu Chengfeng walked down the deserted streets with his head hanging low.

As the legitimate son of the Marquis Residence, when had he ever worried about his clothing, food, shelter, and transportation?

A single meal of exquisite delicacies cost no less than five taels of silver, yet that was the ration for several hundred soldiers for one day.

“Teacher Hu, are you really unable to find any other places to buy rice?” Gu Chengfeng asked dejectedly.

Teacher Hu caught the look on Gu Chengfeng’s face and let out a long sigh, “We’ve been to all the shops with grain, this is all we could get.”

Without saying so, the next step would be to go door to door collecting contributions, something Teacher Hu left unsaid.

He had come to realize that these two young lords were different from the imperial envoys of the past; they wouldn’t forcefully requisition the common folk’s possessions.

“How long can our food supply last?” Gu Chengfeng asked.

“This…” After silently calculating for a moment, Teacher Hu said, “If we cut down to one meal a day, it’ll last two days.”

Gu Chengfeng murmured, “But my older brother won’t arrive for another four days.”

And they couldn’t cut down meals.

They were soldiers sworn to protect their country. How could they let them go into battle on an empty stomach?

Not to mention that the Zhan Country’s army wouldn’t be attacking the city these few days. They were already at the gates, so why wouldn’t they seize the opportunity to capture Yuegu City instead of waiting for his brother to arrive and obliterate them all?

While they were talking, they returned to the barracks near the City Tower, bringing the supply cart with them.
