"Eileen, you're amazing! Thank goodness you helped. Otherwise, the soldiers behind us would have been eating instant noodles."

"I said I could feed the soldiers, and I will feed them." Eileen patted her chest.

Nangong Wu couldn't help but smile, "With an army of 300,000, this amount of food is far from enough."

"It's still cooking in the space! The boiler is high pressure, and it can cook a large pot in twenty or thirty minutes. It may take more than two hours for an army of 300,000 to pass through, but there is enough time and the supply can be provided."

"Besides meat and vegetables, I also use dozens of large rice cookers to cook rice. If there aren't enough steamed buns and dumplings to go around, I let them eat rice instead," Aiqi said.

"Alright, it's okay if it's slow! At least they can have a hot meal." It's so cold today, a hot meal would warm them up.

Nangong Wu mentally produced a large pot of rice. "Then take out the cooked rice as well. Let them choose between rice and steamed buns."

The soldiers came from all over the country; some liked to eat steamed buns, while others were used to eating rice.

She set up another tent next to it to make it easier to hide things when taking them out of the space, and put some steamed buns in first.

"You wait here until the army enters the city, then someone will come to replace you. I'll go check the north gate first." Nangong Wu mounted a horse and headed towards the north gate.

The main street in the city is more than two miles long, and both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of large pots and steamers waiting.

Nangong Wu called all the restaurants in the city that could cook to help. Food was already scarce in the north, and now the heavy snow had blocked the roads, so there weren't many vegetables in the city. She used the meat and vegetables from her space to have them processed, and paid them for the processing.

Li Ke drove that large tracked vehicle into the city first.

Li Shuang was unaware that Nangong Wu had set up a hot pot restaurant outside the city again, so she asked him to park the car in front of a restaurant.

Nangong Wu arrived just in time and told Li Ke to drive the car outside the south gate before getting food, so as not to block the army entering the city behind them.

The bus was full of women and children; asking them to get off and then get back on would take too much time.

"Li Ke, after you've had the food prepared, drive the car six miles ahead and then stop."

"Your subordinate obeys." Li Ke got back into the driver's seat and drove away.

Half an hour later, Li Feng led the vanguard army into the city in an orderly manner.

Only then did the owners of those steamed bun shops, restaurants, and eateries realize why Nangong Wu wanted so much food.

"Take out your own lunchboxes and get your food. There are steamed buns and rice. Take only as much steamed buns and dumplings as you can eat. Don't take more and waste food. After you've gotten your food, keep moving forward. The advance troops will stop to eat after they leave the city," Li Cheng shouted to the soldiers.

With an army of 300,000, it's impossible for them all to eat in one city.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers took out their mess kits, went to the street stalls to get vegetables, steamed buns, or rice, and continued on their way. Each centurion managed his soldiers.

After entering the city, the Flying Feather Guards consciously maintained order within the city.

Nangong Wu sent a few people to replace Eileen, and sent her back to her space to prepare food. Li Shuang, Li Cheng, and Li An also went back to their space to help.

After the army of over 100,000 passed by, all the food prepared in Yanggu City was gone, and a lot of food in Nangong Wu's space was also consumed. However, some shopkeepers were still steaming buns, all hoping to make more money.

Because Nangong Wu said that as long as they could steam it, they would take as much as they wanted, and they wouldn't be afraid of wasting any if they steamed too much.

Nangong Wu then set up more than a dozen large iron barrels inside and outside the North Gate, instructing the Flying Feather Guards to serve the food, while the soldiers could take the steamed buns and dumplings themselves.

Then she ran back and forth between the south and north of the city.

Inside the space, Aiqi was also busy taking off, operating more than a dozen machines to peel, wash, chop, and cut meat, etc.

Li An and Li Shuang helped divide the vegetables, while Li Cheng helped put the chopped meat and vegetables into the large pot.

After a full hour and a half, the soldiers at the back of the procession finally entered the city and received their meals, while the soldiers who had received their meals earlier had already been on their way for half an hour.

"We can't do this anymore. We need to think of a better way to ensure the soldiers are well-fed without wasting time," Nangong Wu said, rubbing her aching back.

If I'm this busy every day, it'll be unbearable. This is even with the help of people from the city.

"Master, I'll think of something right now." Aiqi's voice reached her ears.

"Fine." Nangong Wu let her do whatever she wanted.

It might take the army more than two months to reach Runan City, and she cannot stay with the army for that long.

She took out a map to look at.

It will take at least seven or eight more days to get out of Lindong Prefecture.

Once we left Lindong Prefecture, the snow wasn't as thick, the temperature wasn't as low, and the roads weren't as difficult to travel, so we no longer needed to use large tracked vehicles to clear the way.

When the time comes, she should leave; we need to come up with a foolproof plan.

"Your Highness!" Li Feng walked over.

"What is it?" Nangong Wu glanced at him.

"More than thirty soldiers have fallen ill, and the situation is getting worse." Li Feng's expression was somewhat grim.

"More than thirty people are sick? Why are you only telling us now?" Nangong Wu put away the map.

"Originally there were only a dozen or so people, and we let them sit in the carriage, but today there are about twenty more, all with high fevers and coughs."

"We don't have enough carriages to take them," Li Feng said.

"Li Cheng," Nangong Wu called out.

"Your subordinate is here." Li Cheng stepped forward.

Nangong Wu mentally produced a money pouch and instructed, "Go and find ten carriages in this city, or even more if you can, so the patient can ride them and keep up with the procession."

Once we leave Lindong Prefecture, we'll need to buy a carriage and horses.

"Yes?" Li Cheng took the money bag and went to buy a carriage.

"Go and bring those patients over," Nangong Wu said to Li Feng.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately ordered that all the patients be brought over.

A while later, more than thirty patients were brought over and sat on stools and chairs that some kind-hearted shopkeepers had brought out.

Nangong Wu examined them one by one. For those with milder conditions, she prescribed some medicine. For those with more serious conditions, she took blood samples and sent them into her space for Eileen to help with the testing.

The test results came back, and sure enough, all of these people had the flu.

She prescribed some antiviral medication and gave it to them.

The Flying Feather Guard bought twelve carriages and twenty horses.

"Your Highness, I think these twenty horses are quite good, so I'll buy them all."

They slaughtered a lot of warhorses recently, and they were heartbroken. Now they want to buy any good horse they see.

"Okay." Nangong Wu nodded. "We'll buy more after we leave Lindong Prefecture."

The only means of transportation here is horses. With an army of 300,000 and only about a thousand horses, that's definitely not going to work.

She put the sick soldiers on the carriages and left them at the back of the column.

The flu is highly contagious, so we must prevent it from spreading to other soldiers.

Nangong Wu left Yanggu City with the last group of soldiers.

Inside the space, Eileen rummaged through several supermarket items, preparing to research a machine for making steamed buns.
