Chapter 1395 The Maid's Great Turn 35

The fake mountain bandits were either dead or wounded, and they all ran away in panic, looking extremely embarrassed.

When everyone ran away, Lu Ming told everyone not to chase them but to rescue food and supplies first.

Everyone put out the fire from the burning sacks and carts nearby.

As Su Yan searched, he found a bag full of moldy rice and various beans that were old grains, moldy and smelly.

Even if these food supplies were transported to the front line, they would probably not be eaten, so people were sent to burn them. In fact, the food supplies must have been replaced.

Su Yan checked several bags in succession, and every bag was like this, except for the few trucks in front and the few trucks in the back, which were basically all food that could not be eaten and had to be destroyed.

These moldy rice will still contain mold even if exposed to the sun, and the soldiers will definitely get sick if they eat them.

Su Yan hurriedly stopped everyone from trying to put out the fire, and shouted, "The rice is moldy, don't save it, go chase the group of people who escaped earlier, they must have food there."

"Moldy?" Lu Ming's expression darkened when he heard that. He quickly opened a bag to check. Sure enough, it was all moldy rice. The musty smell hit him in the face.

This kind of rice is totally inedible and is full of gravel and stones.

Everyone checked the bags around them and found that they were all filled with moldy and spoiled items, almost all of which were inedible.

"How dare they? This is food for hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they dare to replace it!" Lu Ming said gritting his teeth.

"What should we do? The front line is still waiting for this batch of food and fodder."

Everyone had a bewildered expression. They were not afraid of fighting in battle, but they were truly at a loss when faced with something like this.

Su Yan said to Lu Ming, "Take a team to chase those people who escaped earlier. Maybe they have food in their hiding place."

"Is the food they have enough?" Lu Ming hesitated.

"No matter if it's enough or not, you take the people to clear it out first."

Lu Ming was a little hesitant. He was mainly afraid of wasting time and should now go and collect new food and supplies.

Seeing this, Su Yan directly showed his token: "Everyone listen up, quickly chase the bandits and take back the food."

When everyone saw her take out the prince's token, they dared not say anything more and all went to chase the bandits, but Su Yan remained where he was.

Su Chengye asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

Su Yan: "Let me check the other bags first to see how much is left that can be used."

"what about me?"

"First, clear out all the unusable items and destroy them together."

Moldy rice will pollute the environment if not destroyed. These rice grains should be burned together.

If Su Yan guessed correctly, the first batch of food was also robbed by this group of people. It took less than ten days, and the food is probably still in their mountain stronghold.

999 has also checked the development of the world story and said with certainty: "The first batch of food was indeed robbed by them. Now there is less than half of it in the village. Most of it has been secretly transported back and mixed in with this batch. Who knows, this batch was replaced by corrupt officials."

Su Yan: "These people really don't know how to live or die. They still want to make money from the national crisis at this time."

999: "What should we do then?"

Su Yan: "Is there any ancient tomb or something like that here?"

999: "There is a land temple, but it is abandoned."

This is where Su Yan is good.

Su Yan turned to Su Chengye and said, "You stay here to deal with the old rice. I'll go after them. I'm afraid they can't handle it."

"Okay, then you go quickly." At this moment, Su Chengye had great trust in Su Yan. After all, she was able to turn the tide by herself. He felt safe when she was around.

Su Yan asked the robot butler to quickly pack the rice and other grains. The sacks were re-compiled according to the standards of this era, but they just looked a little newer.

Su Yan came to the land temple and put the packaged food into the temple.

Although it is just a small land temple, there is actually a different world underneath.

This is a hiding place for bandits to avoid being hunted. It looks like a deserted land temple from the outside, but there is a lot of space underneath, which can easily hide two or three hundred people.

After the food was hidden, Su Yan chased in the direction of Lu Ming and the others.

When Su Yan arrived, Lu Ming said angrily, "These bastards deserve to be struck by lightning. They stole the last batch of food and now there is less than half of it left in the warehouse."

Su Yan saw that there were only a few bandits tied up around him, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are the other bandits?"

"He ran away. Look, we are catching up with him. He ran faster than a rabbit."

Su Yan comforted him, "Don't worry about them for now. Food and grass are more important. Send a few people to transport the food and grass down. They must have hidden the other half somewhere else. It's impossible for them to eat it all in such a short time. Others, follow me to search the mountain."

Lu Ming: "What if they sell the food?"

Su Yan: "No, no merchant would dare to take over such a large amount of grain of unknown origin."

Lu Ming thought about it and it made sense. It had only been a few days and the imperial court was keeping a close eye on them. They certainly wouldn't dare to sell the looted grain at this critical juncture. To be safe, they would wait for some time before selling it.

Everyone began to search the mountain, and Su Yan led everyone towards the land temple while searching.

When they arrived near the land temple, Su Yan pointed at the dilapidated land temple and said, "There is a land temple over there. Maybe it is hidden inside? Let's go and take a look."

Several people went forward to check it out. At first, it looked like a dilapidated land temple and there was nothing unusual about it. But someone found rice dropped in the mud and began to become suspicious.

"There is fallen rice here. The food must be hidden nearby." With someone's surprised remarks, everyone was both happy and nervous.

They began a carpet search, and naturally they discovered the mechanism and the food hidden under the land temple.

Seeing these grains, Lu Ming and others finally put their minds at ease.

One by one, they began to carry the food here. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, they were all full of energy.

With this life-saving food, their soldiers can continue to defend their country without any worries.
