Chapter 316: No Need for Thanks

He unscrewed the cap and took a small sip, his ink-colored pupils brightening instantly.

The corn juice was fragrant and smooth; it was truly delicious.

"Bai, thank you."

Bai Wei looked at him and said earnestly, "Xiao Moting, I also want to thank you. Ever since I met you, my life has changed significantly."

If she hadn't discovered the secret of the wardrobe and met Xiao Moting, perhaps she would have returned to the city by now, working as a corporate slave again, earning a salary of a few thousand, and still having to endure her boss's temper.

Now, in less than a year, she had achieved financial freedom and helped many people.

The impoverished Qingshan Village had also changed because of him.

Grandpa Chen, who had been short on money, finally saved enough for his medical treatment and went to a big city hospital to get cured; his intellectually disabled grandson, Chen Ming, had also found a job.

Zhang Shen's grocery store, which was on the verge of closing, had become increasingly prosperous by helping the Northern Frontier Army wholesale goods.

Li Bo's winery, which could no longer stay in business, had become a designated supplier for the Northern Frontier Army, and his whole family worked at the winery.

The iron mines and Iron Factory in the neighboring village, which were in debt, had also paid off their debts and solved their urgent needs by forging equipment and ironware for the Northern Frontier Army.

The villagers sold their vegetables to her to provide for the Northern Frontier Army, and they no longer had to sell to black-hearted vegetable vendors.

The village had even built a school, using money from selling antiques.

The lives of everyone in the village were getting better day by day.

All of this, besides her, was also thanks to Xiao Moting and the Northern Frontier Army!

Bai Wei was truly grateful to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, thank you, really..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were gently covered.

Xiao Moting's slender fingers pressed against her lips.

He lowered his head, his dark, cold eyes reflecting Bai Wei's figure.

"Bai, you don't need to say thanks to me. It is because of you that everyone in the Northern Frontier survived."

On her lips, she felt the slightly cool touch of his fingertips, and she could vaguely feel the thin calluses on his pads from long-term sword handling.

Her heart trembled, and her cheeks immediately became burning hot.

"Bai, I apologize for the offense."

Xiao Moting lowered his hand and apologized in a low voice.

His expression was calm and composed, yet his heart was already pounding violently.

Just now, when his fingers covered her lips, he had felt a touch of warmth and softness.

His breathing also involuntarily deepened.

In order not to let Bai Wei see any clues, Xiao Moting immediately took a step back.

"Bai, you go and rest first; I will handle some military affairs and come to see you later."

After saying this, he turned and strode away.

Bai Wei looked up at his rapidly departing back, unable to help but mutter to herself.

She hadn't seen him for several months, and she had wanted to chat more with Xiao Moting.

Because the merchant caravan heading to Yannan was departing the next day.

So after dinner, Xiao Moting brought several soldiers to find Bai Wei again to discuss the matters of going to Yannan.

This time, when going to Yannan, they would be disguised as cloth merchants.

In front of the soldiers, it was inconvenient for Xiao Moting to be too close to Bai Wei.

"Many people in the Yuan Family Army have seen Xiao Dabao, so he will stay at the Northern Frontier Camp to guard the rear."

"There cannot be too many people accompanying the merchants; I have decided on about ten people."

"Xiao Lujing, Qin Zhan, and the other eight skilled soldiers will accompany us."

Xiao Lujing was a killer; basically, all the living people who had seen him were gone.

Moreover, children change a lot, changing every single day.

Xiao Lujing hadn't been well-nourished before, so he hadn't developed, but now that he was eating and drinking well every day, he had grown tall rapidly and thinned out quite a bit; his face had also shed the childishness of his youth, and it had changed slightly since the time they last faced the Yuan Family Army.

If they disguised him again, there shouldn't be many people who could recognize him.

Qin Zhan thought for a moment and said.

"The inspections in Yannan are very strict; almost every post has soldiers checking, and if they find weapons, they will detain people."

Xiao Moting said, "I had the craftsmen modify the carriages; each carriage has a hidden compartment underneath that can hold one Long Sword."

"Just one Long Sword, I'm afraid that won't be enough." Qin Zhan frowned.

Xiao Lujing said coldly, "I don't need a weapon to kill someone."

That one sentence instantly drew all the hostility.

Everyone's gaze fixed on him, full of resentment.

This child really didn't know how to be low-key at all.

Sensing the growing resentment in the air, Bai Wei quickly said.

"Leave the weapons with me, and I will Teleport them over to you when the time comes."

Qin Zhan's eyes lit up, "Right, why didn't I think of that?"

Shennü Daren could, after all, Teleport items at will.

Everyone became happy instantly.

"As expected of Shennü Daren, this trick is truly brilliant."

"I'd like to see what ability this Yannan Army has to investigate Shennü's side."

"Hahaha, I bet they won't be able to find anything."

Han Guiying nudged Qin Zhan with her elbow and said triumphantly, "How about that? I told you, didn't I? Bai has magic powers."

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Everyone, gather the weapons and equipment you need to bring. I will transport them to my side for storage, and when you need them, I will bring them over."

On the way here, she had already considered every aspect.

Anyway, her Warehouse has five floors, and the fifth floor is still empty, so it can be used to store the military supplies of the Northern Frontier Army.

It must be said, this space she created herself is truly quite convenient.

Everyone was in high spirits and immediately gathered together to list the items they needed to bring.

Blades, spears, Long Swords, halberds, night-vision goggles, Climbing Ropes, Binoculars, Drones...

As for food, Bai Wei indicated that there was no need to prepare any; her five-story large Warehouse is stuffed with so much food that it would be enough for these ten people to eat for several years with plenty left over!

The group crowded into the room and discussed things until late at night.

Everyone shared the same thought.

That is, not to let the Fusang People take away even a single leaf!

Whether it is ore or anything else, it all belongs to the Shenzhou Continent; why should these resources be occupied by others?

Bai Wei also agreed with their thinking.

Whether in modern times or ancient times, everyone's wish is the same!

To nip the budding attempts of invaders wanting to encroach upon Huaxia in the cradle!

The Electric Lamp in the room was still very bright; since Beijiang acquired Coal Power Generation Technology, it now has Electric Lamps.

Xiao Moting saw that it was getting late and interrupted the discussion.

"It is getting late. Let Bai get some rest early. We can discuss any details on the road."

The crowd stood up one after another and walked out the door.

Xiao Moting, however, did not move; after everyone had left, he stood at the doorway and said to Bai Wei.

"Bai, I will be right next door. If you need anything tonight, just call me."

Bai Wei hurriedly shook her head, "Xiao Moting, you have also been tired for a day. We have to set off early tomorrow morning, so get a good night's sleep."

Xiao Moting smiled faintly, "It is no matter. I am used to staying alert in the army; any slight disturbance and I will rise immediately and be wide awake at once. This is also the habit of our Northern Frontier Army."
