In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 125 Why not call Luo Xi to ask?

Le Zheng Feiyuan's mind raced, and soon he came up with an idea: "Let's investigate first, and then send someone to question Du Hong and see what he says."

"I think there's no need to ask. This is simply a drama directed and acted by that Du guy." Le Zheng Feibo said hatefully.

How could Le Zheng Feiyuan not understand, but they were still waiting for other people's food and supplies and were under their control.

Luo Xi glanced at the two of them with a strange expression, but did not say anything.

Chu Zhe, who knew Luo Xi very well, immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.

What? He asked silently with his eyes.

Luo Xi smiled but said nothing.

A few days later, the messenger came back with an angry face: "General, Du Hong said that bandits are rampant now and he is powerless to eliminate them, so there is nothing he can do about the food and grass being robbed."

"And now, the person involved, Zhou Fan, has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. No one knows the truth. He asked us to wait and said that he would send someone to investigate and help us recover the food and grass."

Isn't this just an attempt to delay time and end up with an unsolved case?

The messenger got angry when he thought about the guy's indifferent look.

"Didn't you tell him that we were running out of food and supplies and couldn't wait, so you asked him to send another batch first?" Le Zheng Feibo asked anxiously.

Now is not the time to blame anyone, they must replenish the food and fodder, otherwise the soldiers will starve.

Although they all knew in their hearts that this was probably Du Hong's own doing, what they needed more was food and fodder. As long as he was willing to provide them with food and fodder, it would not matter if they suffered a loss in silence.

The messenger got even angrier: "I did, but the Du said that the food and grass they had last sent to us were all from them with great difficulty, and now there is no more food in Nanyue County."

"Bullshit!" Le Zheng Feibo couldn't help but swear, and slammed his right hand on the table: "Since the beginning of this year, our food and grass have been supplied by Fengchuan County. This is the first time that they have been transported to Nanyue County. How could they run out of food? It's obvious that he doesn't want to give it to us."

Le Zhengfeiyuan's eyes were extremely deep under his sword-like eyebrows: "Brother, I'm afraid we can't count on Du Hong in the short term, so why not think of other ways."

"After we have resolved the issue of food and grass, I will report this matter to His Majesty. He will be in trouble then."

Le Zheng Feibo sighed and said helplessly: "It can only be like this."

He thought for a moment and looked at Chu Zhe standing beside him: "Mr. Chu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Now Chu Zhe has almost become their guest official. Whenever there is an important event, the two Le Zheng brothers will call him over, and this time is no exception.

Unlike the two others who were frowning, Chu Zhe was relaxed. He took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "Why don't you call Luo Xi over to ask?"

Chu Zhe dared to say that she must know something, but looking at Luo Xi's current appearance, she might not meddle in other people's business if no one asked.

That guy always has good luck, just like his legs. After drinking what she gave him, he can now walk normally. If it weren't for hiding it from others, he wouldn't be in a wheelchair.

Le Zheng Feiyuan and Le Zheng Feibo looked at each other and were stunned: "Ms. Luo, this..."

They had all heard from Chu Zhe about Luo Xi becoming a bandit, and had also inquired about it themselves. They heard that Chaoyang Villa had now occupied the entire Tongning County, and even the county magistrate Rong Bai had sided with them, becoming the hegemon of Nanyue County. Du Hong was troubled by this.

The two of them had mixed feelings about this. As the imperial army, they should have sent troops to destroy all those who rebelled against the imperial court, but...

This Chaoyang Villa never oppressed the people, nor did it bring disaster to the village. In fact, it even built a paradise for many people to shelter from the wind and rain during this disaster year.

Just like the Wei family who were dedicated to serving the people but were almost wiped out, if there were no rebellious place like Chaoyang Villa, where would they go?

Therefore, when Du Hong asked them to send troops to destroy Chaoyang Villa, Le Zheng Feiyuan refused on the grounds that he was busy dealing with the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

He guessed that this food and fodder incident was probably deliberately designed by Du Hong to retaliate against them because of his refusal last time.

Therefore, they have no prejudice against Chaoyang Villa.

But as the imperial border troops, why don’t they ask for food and fodder from the imperial court, but instead take it from those who rebel against the imperial court?

This is so weird no matter how you think about it.

Moreover, they may not have it, and even if they do, why should we give it to them?

"I'll think about it," he said.

Chu Zhe just smiled and didn't insist.

He had a good brain and naturally knew Le Zheng Feiyuan's concerns. He was just making a suggestion. Whether it was used or not was none of his business.

In the following days, Le Zheng Feiyuan was busy investigating bandits who robbed grain and fodder, urging Du Hong to send more grain and fodder, or collecting money from wealthy families around. He was very busy, but no matter what he did, there was no result.

However, their granaries were slowly running out of food.

In the study, the two most outstanding young generals of the Le Zheng family could only sit together with sad faces, unable to find a solution.

"The soldiers' meals have become half-dry now. If no more food is shipped in, I'm afraid... they can only eat watery food." Several strands of Le Zheng Feibo's long hair fell out.

"We can't drink water. Brothers have to fight at any time. How can we have the strength to drink water?" Le Zheng Feiyuan always took the lives of his soldiers very seriously: "Tell the kitchen to make sure everyone is well fed. If it doesn't work, I will lead the team to hunt in the mountains."

"This..." Le Zheng Feibo hesitated for a long time, and finally suggested carefully: "Fei Yuan, how about we listen to Mr. Chu and ask Madam Luo?"

"You and I know Mr. Chu well. He will never harm us."

"Brother Chu, I naturally trust him, but..." Le Zheng Feiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't forget Ms. Luo's identity."

He never judged people by their status, otherwise he would not have allowed Luo Xi Jiuxian to live in the general's mansion, treated him with courtesy, and become sworn brothers with Chu Zhe.

What's more, Luo Xi dared to go against the world's will and leave behind the Wei family members who were known as traitors, which is very admirable.

But if they asked Luo Xi for food and supplies, regardless of whether she would give it to them or not, Luo Xi's identity might bring them a lot of trouble.

"..."Le Zheng Feibo was silent again.

"Hey, Du Hong has always wanted to find fault with us. If he knew that we... took food and grass, he would immediately accuse the Si family of treason."

"When a small county magistrate like Wei Qing interferes with his interests, he won't let go of others, let alone us who have always disliked us."

"He behaves like a villain!" This was the only evaluation Le Zheng Feiyuan gave to Du Hong, but now they could do nothing about this man.

He exhaled and said, "Although we all know that Master Luo is a righteous man, we can't stand the attention of those who are interested, so it's better not to take this step."

"Don't worry about this problem. I have solved it for you." At this time, a clear and elegant voice sounded outside the study.
