Lin Feng paced back and forth, each step heavy with concern. He thought to himself: this food crisis is a delicate matter that could affect everything. A single success does not guarantee overall stability; if any other County encounters trouble, all previous efforts could be in vain.
After a moment, he abruptly stopped and instructed his attendant, "Send out several more clever and capable scouts immediately to other Counties. They must report back at the first sign of trouble—no mistakes allowed!"
The attendant acknowledged the order and quickly left to make arrangements. The County Magistrate, observing the tense atmosphere, gently advised, "Your Highness, you have been working tirelessly for days. Perhaps you should take a moment to rest. It will take time for news to travel back and forth; we can make decisions once we have accurate information."
However, Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively, his gaze fixed on the distant mountains. His mind was filled with unknown dangers, leaving no room for rest. The County Magistrate understood that this food distribution was a matter of life and death for countless people; how could the prince afford to relax?
Any slight misstep could lead to scenes of starvation and death, making them all culpable.
As everyone anxiously awaited news, the sky gradually darkened. The torches of the grain convoy flickered in the night, like tiny beacons of hope, slowly approaching the camp.
The commander in charge of escorting the supplies was visibly exhausted but dared not show any signs of slackening. He urged the horses onward, determined to deliver the grain as soon as possible.
Finally, the wheels of the Grain Cart creaked as they rolled over the ground in front of the camp; the supply convoy had arrived safely.
Lin Feng stepped forward personally, patting the commander on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work. Brave Soldiers, you have endured much on this journey. Go rest now; you will be well rewarded later."
But before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly a fast horse galloped in. The scout on horseback tumbled off and scrambled to Lin Feng's feet, breathless as he spoke: "Your Highness! It's bad news! The western Counties of Guang Jun and Tai Jun have been attacked by Mountain Bandits; most of the grain has been stolen!"
This news struck like a bolt from the blue. The County Magistrate's eyes widened in shock, while Lin Feng's fists clenched tightly, filled with anger and worry.
"Do we know which bandits are responsible?" Lin Feng forced down his fury and asked each word deliberately.
The scout hurriedly replied, "It seems to be Pao Ma Zhai, who have been entrenched in Luofeng Mountain for years. They are extremely cunning; they struck and then fled into the depths of the forest."
Lin Feng's face turned crimson with rage; veins throbbed on his forehead as he stomped his foot hard enough that the ground seemed to tremble slightly beneath him.
Grinding his teeth, he managed to say through clenched jaws: "These lawless scoundrels! They bully the weak and prey on our people daily; our citizens have already suffered greatly.
I can't believe they would dare to rob my life-saving supplies at such a critical moment! Such wickedness cannot be forgiven!"
With that said, Lin Feng turned to the Governor beside him and urgently called out: "Governor, please quickly dispatch a team of brave and skilled Cavalry for reinforcements!"
The County Magistrate did not dare delay and promptly agreed.
Before long, a well-equipped and highly trained elite cavalry unit had assembled. Lin Feng nimbly leaped onto a tall and powerful warhorse. With a flick of the reins, the steed neighed loudly, raising its front hooves high.
At that moment, Lin Feng wore a determined expression as he spoke loudly to the County Magistrate, "County Magistrate, I entrust you with the proper arrangement of these supplies."
Today, the prince would spare no effort to reclaim this batch of grain, ensuring the safety of the lives under my governance!
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his whip fiercely, and his mount surged forward like an arrow released from a bow.
