Chapter 1336

The entire team also immediately became somewhat chaotic.

Everyone was busy; some were on guard, some started preparing food.

Others started settling the grain; each performed their duties without interfering with each other.

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Although no one knew what would happen in the future, having this grain in front of them meant they could survive.

It was enough to take care of the present for now; future matters could be discussed later.

Ren Xiao and the generals walked together.

He had many unsolved mysteries in his heart.

"Why did you return so quickly this time?"

Ren Xiao looked at Zhou Qi, his eyes somewhat puzzled.

He handed over a flask of water.

This time, things were surprisingly smooth.

So smooth that it made one suspect it wasn't real.

Not just Ren Xiao, even Fan Zeng, Hu Hai, and the other generals felt it was too fast.

Somewhat unbelievable, just like a dream.

They were eager to know what had happened.

"County Commandant, this time it was truly unexpected."

"Completely unimaginable."

Zhou Qi took the flask, opened the stopper, and drank it all in one gulp.

He was indeed somewhat thirsty.

"Can you explain the situation in detail?"

Fan Zeng also leaned in.

He was also truly very curious.

According to his conjecture, this matter shouldn't be that simple.

The time spent should also be relatively long.

After all, going required negotiation, and also required mobilizing supplies.

If any link had a problem, it would require more time.

Spending a few days would be the most normal thing.

But it was done in just an hour.

This inevitably made people somewhat surprised; the other side seemed to have been prepared long ago.

As long as they sent the hostage over, they could immediately get the supplies.

They even arranged for people to help transport the supplies back.

This made it impossible to figure out what was going on.

"Mr. Fan, the situation is like this."

"We were surrounded by them as soon as we went."

"At first, we thought they were going to go back on their word upon seeing the hostage."

"We hadn't even threatened the hostage yet, and we were separated by them."

"We thought we were doomed this time due to carelessness."

"But the next scene overturned our imagination."

Zhou Qi stopped here.

This pause caused everyone to complain repeatedly.

"What happened next?"

"Hurry up and tell us!"

Even Hu Hai couldn't help but urge him to speak quickly.

Zhou Qi had no choice but to speak hurriedly.

"After they checked that the hostage was fine, they immediately brought out countless amounts of grain."

"It looked like it had been prepared long ago, just waiting for us to bring the hostage to trade."

"Seeing that we didn't have enough people, they even sent people to help us drive the carts back."

"After that, we just came back like this; this time we didn't even see their Commander."

"If it weren't for seeing so much grain, I really wanted to continue pestering them for a while."

"I even suspected they were playing tricks, but even after returning here, I didn't see any movement from them."

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet. ===== CHAPTER 1338 =====
