The cook glanced at the main general, who was enraged, and promptly went to summon someone.
Soon, the Grain Transport Officer arrived before Zhan Lan, respectfully kneeling to explain, "Main General, the military provisions have been detained. I truly have no choice; there's a decree from His Majesty, and I must comply with it."
Zhan Lan stepped forward, causing the Grain Transport Officer to tremble all over. Faced with offending the Emperor or Zhan Lan, he chose the latter.
Zhan Lan's gaze was cold, confirming her fears—there was indeed a problem with the supplies.
"Main General, although I follow His Majesty's orders, I did bring fodder for the return journey's horses." The Grain Transport Officer spoke with lowered eyes.
Zhan Lan snorted coldly, thankful she had retained Shen Shan's jade pendant, indicating her father and Lu Youjun should be taking action.
Her fists clenched with a crackling sound, cursing Emperor Qingwu—how dare he cut off the army's supplies!
