Chapter 271: The Appearance of Rebel Soldiers

In front of the seed wholesale shop.

Bai Wei speaks to the owner.

"Chicken feather greens, baby bok choy, spinach, lettuce... I want one hundred thousand bags of each kind of seed."

These vegetables are fast-growing varieties; their advantage is that they grow quickly, and can be eaten just over a month after planting.

The owner holds a small notebook, stunned.

"Miss, what are you buying so many seeds for?"

Bai Wei smiles, "I have a Vegetable Base in Qingshan Village, and I happen to need seeds."

She isn't just buying for the base; she is also buying for the common people of Daliang.

Establishing a vegetable base serves as a perfect cover.

The owner suddenly understands, his face full of admiration.

"I really couldn't tell; you're so young, yet you've already opened such a large vegetable base. You truly have capability."

Bai Wei knows the owner is buttering her up and smiles.

"Owner, what other vegetables are easy to grow? Please recommend some to me."

The owner immediately perks up.

"For easy-to-grow vegetables, garlic sprouts and leaf lettuce are no problem; they can be eaten six weeks after planting."

"Crown daisy is also very easy to grow. You don't even need to pull it up by the roots when eating; just use scissors to cut off the vegetable branches, take them back to eat, and the remaining roots can grow several more batches."

"And rapeseed is also quite good..."

Bai Wei nods continuously as she listens.

"Owner, give me fifty thousand bags of each of these vegetable seeds."

Besides these, Bai Wei also bought other produce.

Juicy cherry radishes can be grown all year round; sprinkle the seeds, and they can be eaten in just over a month. Plus, the planting method is simple, they taste crisp and refreshing, and can serve as both a vegetable and a fruit.

Sweet and floury Beibei pumpkins can grow many pumpkins on a single vine; they have a soft, waxy texture and can even be eaten as a staple food.

Beibei pumpkins are a modern new variety; Daliang doesn't have them.

Modern-bred edamame seeds take only about two months from sowing to harvest. They are fine to boil or dry, and are both storage-resistant and suitable for long-term keeping.

In addition, Bai Wei also bought cucumber seeds, luffa seeds, green pepper seeds, cowpea seeds, green bean seeds...

She wants the produce of Daliang Kingdom to be as rich and diverse as in the modern era.

The owner is so happy he can't close his mouth; this is the biggest single order he has encountered in the decades he has been running the shop.

"Boss Bai, we currently don't have this much stock of these seeds in the Warehouse."

"But I will go arrange the shipment immediately, and it will arrive tomorrow."

Bai Wei nods, "No rush. Just send me whatever you have in the Warehouse, and send the rest to the Farm tomorrow."

"Alrighty."

After buying the seeds, Bai Wei goes on a wild shopping spree for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, buying three Military Trucks full.

She also buys fifty thousand of each: manual pesticide sprayers, plastic watering cans, and lawn mowers.

There is no electricity in the ancient countryside; using these manual farming tools can greatly improve the planting efficiency of the Daliang farmers.

After buying these things, Bai Wei has the owner pack everything up and send it to the Qingshan Village Farm, spending over four million.

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for her now.

There are still several hundred million in her account, which makes her feel at ease just looking at it.

Taking advantage of the time before the pesticides and seeds are delivered, Bai Wei goes to a car dealership, swipes her card to buy a Truck, and sends it to Xiao Moting.

Currently, Beijiang is vigorously building roads; the road from the main camp to the Snow Mountain Mine has already been completed, and they are currently building the road to Xuancheng.

Once the roads are open, transportation will be even more convenient.

Beijiang only has one truck, which is far from enough for transport.

Therefore, she is sending another one.

Teleporting a truck has already exhausted all of Bai Wei's energy; she is worn out, and after returning to the Farm, she collapses and falls asleep.

Just as Bai Wei is waiting for the pesticides and seeds to be delivered to the Farm.

Xiao Moting receives an urgent letter in the camp.

The letter was sent by General Zhang Zhao, who is stationed at the Snow Mountain Mine, saying that a group of rebel soldiers suddenly appeared nearby; they cover their faces with black cloth, loot everywhere, and occasionally run to the mine to snatch supplies.

The terrain around the Snow Mountain is steep, and the rebels are very familiar with it, often sneaking over from the back mountain and launching surprise attacks at night by taking advantage of the mountain terrain.

They can scale walls and vault over roofs, possess excellent Lightness Skill, and can walk as if flying even on steep mountain slopes.

Especially the leader of the rebels, who has even more formidable Lightness Skill and also wields a good staff technique; the garrison soldiers are no match for him.

The garrison soldiers do not have this ability, and they are not good at climbing mountains; the camp's horses cannot run on mountain terrain either, so they can neither hit the rebels nor catch up, leaving them very passive.

Although this group of rebels has not caused much damage and it is all minor trouble—snatching food, vegetables, and other supplies from the mine—it still gives Zhang Zhao a huge headache, so he wrote a letter asking for reinforcements.

"Rebel soldiers?" Qin Zhan is the first to stand up, "Could it be the bandits from Rakshasa, coming to harass Daliang again?"

"I don't think so," Xiao Moting shakes his head, "The people of Rakshasa are ruthless and would not be so merciful. Moreover, I recently received a letter from the Kokand Kingdom saying that they obtained equipment and are engaged in fierce combat with the Rakshasa Kingdom; the Rakshasa Kingdom is currently busy dealing with the Kokand Kingdom and has no energy to send troops to harass the Daliang border."

Qin Zhan is puzzled, "Where exactly did these rebel soldiers come from?"

Xiao Moting ponders for a moment, then looks up.

"Is it time to transport supplies to the Snow Mountain garrison?"

"As it happens, Bai has sent another Truck; let's go over and take a look."

Xiao Moting walks out of the tent and sees the soldiers loading grain, vegetables, meat... onto the Truck, preparing to send them to the Snow Mountain garrison.

Parked to the side is also a brand-new Truck, which is the one Bai Wei just sent.

"Qin Zhan, select a troop of elite soldiers and accompany me to the Snow Mountain Mine."

He wanted to see exactly what the origins of this rebel force were.

Boom, boom, boom.

Two heavy-duty Military Trucks drove out of the Northern Frontier Camp, one after the other.

The first truck was loaded with supplies such as grain and vegetables.

The second truck was packed full of elite soldiers, all of whom were valiant warriors handpicked from the ranks.

Following behind the two trucks were five Minivans.

Besides the soldiers sitting inside, the roof racks of the vehicles were also loaded with weapons.

Drones, Repeating Crossbows, Bow and Arrows, Night Vision Goggles, Binoculars...

There were also five Firearms and fifty Landmines placed there.

The Firearms were captured from the Rakshasa bandits last time; there were not many Bullets left for the Sniper Rifle that Bai Wei had sent, so Xiao Moting decided to use the Firearms instead.

The convoy set off in a grand procession toward the Snow Mountain Mine.

Qin Zhan muttered to himself while driving a Minivan.

"Dabao, where do you think this rebel force came from? I think they've grown the guts of a bear and a leopard to dare come and rob the Northern Frontier Army's supplies."

Xiao Dabao sat in the passenger seat, eating a Ham Sausage while grunting.

"Who cares where they're from? As long as they run into us, we'll beat them until they're crying for their parents."

Xiao Moting sat in the back seat, feeling equally puzzled.

The Snow Mountain Mine was on the border of the Daliang Kingdom and also bordered the Yannan Region; if it wasn't sent by the Rakshasa, then it must have come from Yannan.

Could it be that after Yuan Canghai's previous attempt to send assassins failed, he sent people to harass the Snow Mountain Mine?

He scoffed.

In any case, no matter who it was, anyone who dared to harass the Northern Frontier Army would be killed without mercy!
