Yue Luoxue sucked in a breath of cold air. Who exactly was the person behind Qiu Tang?

Yue Luoxue continued to look through the things in Qiu Tang's room. Other than this jar, she did not find anything else unusual.

The Thousand Revolution Worm Poison watched as Yue Luoxue put the jar containing the Gu worm back into the distance, and muttered: ”Girl, why did you throw it away, this is a good thing, it's very useful.”

”I didn't see it coming …” Although the Gu worm was very useful, its smell was even more frightening than the smelly tofu on the street. Yue Luoxue was not willing to bring such a thing back.

The Thousand Revolution Worm Poison's mouth twitched. Tsk, such a good thing cannot be raised in ten to eight years, the little girl really doesn't know what's good for her!

The person that Nalan Rongxuan had sent out had been following Qiu Tang, she first went to the cloth farm where Nalan Rongxuan had found the treasure, and stayed for about two hours before hurrying to the outskirts to pay her respects.

Qiu Tang paid her respects to her mother before making her way to another tombstone not far away. With a strange expression, she burned a large amount of paper money before finally returning to the palace.

The person Qiu Tang paid his second respects to was a man, but he seemed to have some impression of that name. It seemed to be one of the messengers of the Southern Frontier who came over a year ago when mufei was still alive. The matter was really getting more and more complicated, but it was also getting clearer and clearer.

If it was only a guess in the past, then Nalan Rongxuan was 90% sure that this Qiu Tang must be related to Melilotus. He just did not know what their goal was, and perhaps they would find out in the near future.

As Yue Luoxue and the others were moving, Nalan Rongyu's group was galloping rapidly towards Binnan. Nalan Rongyu's heart was filled with hope, but this time, he could only do it in a beautiful manner.

Nalan Rongyu kept on rushing the progress along the way. The original three days' progress was shortened by him to a day and a half. Nalan Rongyu had already arrived at the heavily affected area with a portion of the food.

Everyone knew that the Sixth Prince was a young hero and an illustrious general. Now, seeing Nalan Rongyu wearing military attire with his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, riding his horse towards them, they all looked as if they had seen their savior.

Nalan Rongyu was very satisfied with the victims' reactions. The kindness of offering charcoal in the midst of snow was most easily engraved into their hearts.

Following that, Nalan Rongyu ordered his men to carry the bags of food up, as he was prepared to share some of it with the others to fill their stomachs.

”Come, everyone, line up.” As Nalan Rongyu commanded the victims to queue up to receive their food, he gave a signal with his eyes for them to open the bags.

The moment the sack was opened, the assistant general's expression changed slightly. He quickly walked to Nalan Rongyu's ear and whispered, ”General, it's bad, there's a problem with the food!”

Seeing that the assistant general's expression was strange, Nalan Rongyu hurried to explain and pulled him to a corner, and asked: ”What happened?”

The deputy general frowned, seemingly very puzzled. ”I had clearly checked the grain at the Ministry of Revenue, but …” All of them have become stones! ”

Nalan Rongyu's heart thumped as he grabbed onto the deputy general's collar. ”Say it again, what happened to the food?”

The assistant general met Nalan Rongyu's gaze head-on, and without dodging at all, he repeated once more, ”The relief food has been tampered with!”
