With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Then call her Auntie," Li Feng instructed the two children.

The two children took the milk carton and called out in their soft, sweet voices:

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Good boy/girl." Nangong Wu hugged the two children.

"Princess, please sit down before we talk," Li Feng said, inviting her to take a seat.

"Tell me about the situation in the army first!" Nangong Wu asked him.

Li Feng looked very unwell: "The army's food supplies ran out ten days ago, so I spent a lot of money to purchase more in the city."

But this year the snow came a month earlier than usual, and it snowed heavily for half a month straight. The roads were blocked, caravans couldn't get in, and the city's food supplies were running low. The grain we bought at a high price of 100,000 taels of silver was only enough to feed 300,000 soldiers for one day.

"Those people clearly have grain at home, but they just don't want to sell it to us. Those who are willing to sell have raised the price very high. If it weren't for the silver left to us by the princess, we wouldn't be able to afford such expensive grain at all," Li An interjected.

"You can't blame them. Their whole family is trapped here, and they're afraid of running out of food." Li Feng shook his head.

"That means the army has no food left," Nangong Wu said.

If the two children are left to starve like this, they probably won't have a single grain of rice left.

"There's nothing left. The soldiers are cold and hungry. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the horses have nothing to eat either. I had no choice but to order the warhorses to be slaughtered..." Li Feng said, his heart aching as he spoke of killing the warhorses.

Warhorses are extremely difficult to raise, especially cold-resistant, high-quality warhorses, which are one in a hundred. They are carefully raised and require a great deal of investment. It would be painful for them to kill them for meat.

"The day before yesterday and yesterday, the soldiers only drank a bowl of thin porridge. They were starving and complained in private. It was only because I told them that you would definitely come to save us that they didn't cause any trouble. If you don't come today, I will have to kill the warhorse to feed the soldiers..."

"Princess, General!" A lieutenant rushed in, knelt on one knee, and reported, "More than a dozen more people have fainted from hunger."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu stood up and said, "I understand. Gather all the soldiers together and prepare for the meal. Make sure everyone has a good meal today."

"Thank you, Princess! We finally have food to eat. I'll go tell everyone right away." The lieutenant ran out excitedly.

"Take me to the granary and let the soldiers have a good meal first," Nangong Wu said to Li Feng.

"Then come with me, Princess." Huo Lifeng led her out of the tent.

When they arrived at the large warehouse, only a few of them went inside.

"Master, I see those soldiers are quite hungry. I want them to eat as soon as possible, so I'm using self-heating rice. They'll be ready to eat in ten minutes," Eileen in the space said to her.

"Is self-heating rice enough for 300,000 soldiers?" Nangong Wu asked.

"I've already counted over 100,000 servings. There are still two supermarket warehouses that haven't been counted yet. Have them distribute them first. If that's not enough, there's also instant noodles and ready-to-eat meat products to fill their stomachs," Eileen said.

"Alright." Nangong Wu raised her hand and moved hundreds of thousands of self-heating rice meals out of her spatial dimension.

The next second, the huge warehouse was filled to the brim with things.

Nangong Wu pulled over a large cardboard box, opened the seal, took out a self-heating rice bowl, and said to the guards:

"This is called self-heating rice. It doesn't need to be cooked over a fire. It heats up automatically and can be used in about 15 minutes. We can send someone to carry it to the soldiers and give one to each of them."

"I'll go and get someone to come and pull him out right now." Li Feng turned around and went out to call for help.

"Wait a minute," Li Ke called out to him. "Instead of having people come and take it little by little, why not have the soldiers come and line up to receive it themselves, and let the princess teach them how to use it in person?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go and tell them to come and pick it up themselves." Li Feng said and ran out.

"Come on, let me teach you how to make it." Nangong Wu took the self-heating rice, tore open the packaging, and taught them the steps one by one.

Soon, soldiers lined up and ran over.

"Line up, lunchboxes ready!" a lieutenant shouted.

Li Feng's guards came over to help distribute the self-heating rice.

"Everyone who has received a meal box, come and see how the princess uses it," Li Ke shouted to the soldiers who had already received their meals.

"Follow me." Nangong Wu arrived at an open space and taught them how to operate it.

Li Ke and Li Shuang had already learned how to operate it, and they also came to teach the soldiers how to operate it.

About ten minutes later, the soldiers who received their boxed meals first began to eat.

The aroma of the food made the soldiers, who were queuing up and waiting for their meals to be ready, swallow hard, feeling even hungrier.

Someone in the military camp's main kitchen had already boiled hot water, and when they heard that meals were served here, they brought the hot water over for everyone to drink.

Seeing that there wasn't enough rice, the hungry soldiers ate it all in a few bites.

She returned to the warehouse and asked Eileen, "What kinds of vacuum-packed ready-to-eat meat products are available?"

"Chicken legs, duck legs, braised beef, braised pig's trotters, braised eggs, braised duck eggs, there are many, many kinds," Eileen replied.

"There's not enough rice. Help me get some more," Nangong Wu said.

"Alright! I'll start with the chicken legs and duck legs." No sooner had Eileen finished speaking than dozens of boxes were piled up again in a corner of the warehouse that had already been emptied.

Nangong Wu took a look and saw that they were all chicken legs and duck legs, a hundred in a box.

"Come here," Nangong Wu beckoned to the Flying Feather Guards who were carrying things back and forth. "Move these boxes out too."

"Yes!" Several Flying Feather Guards immediately came over.

Nangong Wu carried a box out first, opened the seal, and took out a chicken leg. "Add a chicken leg to every boxed meal."

Those who didn't receive one earlier, please stand still and wait while we distribute them again.

There are too many people, and it's a bit chaotic with everyone crowding in.

The soldiers were overjoyed to hear that there would be chicken legs to eat.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Long live the Princess!"

Nangong Wu looked at the soldiers and nodded. "I'm sorry I'm late, making everyone go hungry for so many days!"

This lunchtime, everyone should have a light snack to tide them over. Tonight, we'll steam white buns, cook white rice, and make a mixed vegetable stew with pork and lamb—enough for everyone to eat their fill!

"Thank you, Princess!"

This time the sound was even louder, resounding throughout the sky above Lindongguan.

Some soldiers who had already eaten had the strength to help carry things and distributed ready-to-eat chicken and duck legs to those who had already received their boxed meals.

The soldiers at the back of the line were already starving, and as soon as they received chicken or duck legs, they immediately tore open the packaging and started eating.

Seeing some soldiers carelessly littering, Li Shuang immediately placed several empty cardboard boxes in the middle and said, "Listen up, everyone, put all your trash together. Don't litter."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers conscientiously picked up the trash they had just thrown away and put it back together.

Seeing that everything was in order, Nangong Wu said, "Li Feng, let's also send food to the soldiers guarding the pass."
