Chapter 27 This thing, a whole truckload!
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Pei Yunjing is leading the grain relief supplies into the Central Plains.
He sat upright in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and stared blankly at the arid, barren land outside.
Along the way, corpses of the starved were everywhere, and people wandered helplessly while bandits took the opportunity to rob them. It was a human tragedy following a severe drought, as if one were in hell.
The troops at the front were constantly on guard, and fortunately, the grandfather had anticipated everything and had allocated an army to Pei Yunjing in advance.
This army is his source of confidence and guarantee, ensuring that they can successfully complete their mission.
During this month, the officials and soldiers dispatched by the imperial court either died in battle or deserted, and the situation was extremely dire.
"Hey! General Bai, how could such a wise man have such a foolish grandson? Only this idiot would choose to come and die, and we brothers have to protect this bastard..."
The speaker was none other than He Qiang, the bodyguard general sent by his maternal grandfather. He deliberately rode his horse around Pei Yunjing's carriage, his distinctive voice impossible to ignore.
Pei Yunjing knew that He Qiang looked down on him, but he understood that the reason his maternal grandfather sent He Qiang was partly because he was from the Central Plains and was familiar with the local situation.
On the other hand, I also wanted him to protect me.
Pei Yunjing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He told himself to be patient and not to get angry easily…
Suddenly, the procession came to a halt, and the carriages came to an abrupt stop...
There was a commotion ahead. Pei Yunjing lifted the curtain and leaned halfway out. Just as he was about to say something, He Qiang rode up beside him. "Sixth Prince, you stay here and behave yourself. I'll go and investigate..."
Pei Yunjing nodded slightly. Although He Qiang's words were harsh, he was very responsible.
He followed He Qiang's gaze and saw that the group was blocked in front of them by a group of ragged and haggard-looking children.
"Get out of here, get out of here..."
He Qiang shouted at the children. He had been on duty for a month and had seen all sorts of methods, but this was the first time he had ever seen a group of children used to stop them from entering the city.
"Woooooooo..."
"very hungry……"
"Brother Gousheng, I'm hungry too..."
"Sir, please have mercy and give us some food! I beg you, sir..." The boy who was leading the group was named Gousheng. He looked to be only eight or nine years old. He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and begged.
He Qiang said with a serious expression, "His Majesty the Emperor is concerned about the people's suffering and has specially dispatched the Sixth Prince to provide relief to the disaster victims. As long as you disperse and allow us to enter the city smoothly, food will be distributed to everyone!"
Gou Sheng rolled his eyes, coughed softly, and the children around him cried even harder.
Just then, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly came from behind. Before long, several rioters were brought to Pei Yunjing's carriage, bound hand and foot.
Li Si, the leader, was astonished, as the strength of the army that had arrived this time far exceeded that of the past. At the same time, He Qiang brought the group of children over, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
The cries of children and the angry roars of the mob mingled together, creating a disturbing atmosphere.
Pei Yunjing straightened his clothes and slowly stepped down from the carriage. His cold gaze swept over the crowd as he said indifferently, "What? Trying to steal the disaster relief grain?"
His gaze lingered on Li Si, and Li Si couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. This young man before him exuded such a terrifying aura that it inspired fear.
Pei Yunjing pressed on, "Do you know who I am?" It seems that bad places breed rioters!
Li Siqiang feigned composure and replied dismissively:
"Pah! He's just that dog prince sent by that dog emperor! What's so great about him? This is a place far from the emperor's reach, we're not afraid at all!"
However, before he could finish speaking, there was a "snap" sound, and a sharp knife suddenly slashed at his feet, almost severing his little toe.
Li Si's face turned deathly pale as he stared in horror at the scene before him, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
"whoosh"
He Qiang expressionlessly sheathed his broadsword, then bowed slightly to Pei Yunjing and said in a deep voice:
"How dare this man be so disrespectful to the Sixth Prince! He should be executed..."
His gaze was fierce and venomous, and the broadsword in his hand gleamed with a cold light, as if he might strike again at any moment.
Pei Yunjing said leisurely, "General He, please wait. I have some questions that he needs to answer!" As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Li Si.
Li Si glanced at He Qiang and felt a chill run down his spine.
He Qiang glared at him fiercely and gave a cold snort, "Hmm?"
Li Si immediately averted his gaze, not daring to look at He Qiang again, and said earnestly, "This humble subject is willing to answer the Sixth Prince's questions!"
"Where have those officials and relief supplies sent out by the imperial court gone?" Pei Yunjing's tone carried a hint of warning.
Li Si felt a little guilty and swallowed hard: "I ate..."

Meanwhile, in the modern world, Grandpa Fu brought Niannian to a large shopping mall.
While shopping, they learned about the businesses under the Fu family and looked for items that could be donated to Pei Yunjing for disaster relief.
"Hiss, skincare products..." Niannian asked curiously, picking up a bottle of exquisite skincare products.
"It's no use!" Old Master Fu shook his head and replied.
"Cosmetics..." Niannian picked up another eyeshadow palette and asked with her big, blinking eyes.
“It’s no use!” Old Master Fu shook his head again.
"Nine Squirrels?" Niannian asked, pointing to the nuts on the shelf.
"It's useful..." Old Master Fu finally nodded.
"Hehe!"
"it works……"
Niannian pointed to the Hedilao self-heating hot pot on the shelf and asked in her childish voice, "Grandpa, is this okay?"
Grandpa Fu frowned. "Hmm, it's not impossible. We can let those old fogies see the new technology!"
Since they're all under the Fu Group anyway, he pointed to the Hedilao self-heating hot pot: "Old Liu, get a whole truckload of these..."
……
Nian Nian watched boredly as large trucks loaded with goods slowly drove out of the warehouse and headed towards the Fu family home after being confirmed by Butler Liu.
She sat in the chair, swung her short legs, and asked in a childish voice, "Grandpa, what are all these?"
"Besides food, there are also useful things..." Grandpa Fu patiently explained to Niannian.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Niannian nodded as if she understood, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Suddenly, she felt an urge to urinate and quickly covered her stomach, waddling like a little duck towards the mall's restroom.
"Grandpa, I'm going to pee... I'll be right back..." Niannian called out as she ran, her voice clear and melodious, drawing sidelong glances and smiles from those around her.
"Alright! Come back quickly!" Old Master Fu said indulgently.
Fifteen minutes passed, but he still hadn't seen Niannian... "The wind is so strong today. I wanted to go to the library but I ended up at a barbecue restaurant..."
