I Became a Sugar Mama to an Ancient General during a Famine! - Chapter 19 Part 2

Seeing she hadn’t replied for a while, Zhan Chengyin sent over a few pieces of paper.

「Divine One?」

「It’s Yin’s fault for causing the god to worry. Yin will not let the god down and will lead all the city’s people to break through the siege.」

「Has the god gone to sleep? Yin will not disturb further.」

Seeing the blank paper, Ye Mumu immediately replied.

「I went to purchase military supplies for you. I bought a thousand sets of armor, five thousand Tang Mo Dao, a hundred Qin crossbows…」

Zhan Chengyin responded, 「What are Tang Mo Dao? Qin crossbows? Yin’s military camp still has bows and arrows in stock.」

Ye Mumu suddenly realized that the Great Qi Kingdom probably didn’t have Qin crossbows, and Tang Mo Dao only appeared about 1,500 years later.

“Send over the tablet. I’ll download instructional videos for you.”

The tablet was sent over.

She opened the storage and saw a photo of five thin, dark men. They wore armor, but underneath their clothes were tattered.

Their hair was messy, beards unkempt, but their eyes were bright, all curiously staring at the tablet’s camera.

Ye Mumu noticed the environment of Zhen Guan  in the background.

In the distance, houses had collapsed, walls broken, exposing gray, dusty beams.

The sky was yellowish, with no green in sight, just scorched yellow sand.

Strong winds whipped up yellow sand, creating a harsh environment rarely seen in modern times.

These few men who made it into the photo were probably Zhan Chengyin’s close associates or deputy generals.

Their poor attire suggested extremely difficult living conditions.

Ye Mumu zoomed in on the photo and saw guards standing in the gaps between the men.

The guards were very thin, holding long spears, their clothes and pants tattered without patches, hanging like rags.

They were barefoot, without shoes, their heels showing long cracks!

Ye Mumu’s eyes welled up with tears.

So difficult!

Such harsh conditions!

She couldn’t help but write a note.

「Is this the harsh environment you’re fighting in? Clothes full of patches, no shoes?」

「How can you fight the barbarians with such equipment?」

「I spent a lot of money buying weapons for you today. Tomorrow I have to sell antiques to purchase a large amount of cloth and shoes to equip you all with new gear!」

Zhan Chengyin read Ye Mumu’s note.

The god had spent so much money on the Zhan family army…

Hundreds of thousands of jin of grain, vegetables, steel, bricks, coal… and now cloth and shoes.

And each time he only thanked the god, never offering any compensation.

Feeling ashamed and guilty, he wrote, 「It’s Yin’s fault! Taking for granted without paying, please forgive Yin…」

From the swords hanging in his tent, he selected two rarely used personal swords.

The blades were engraved with the seal of the Marquis of Ningguan.

He took down two paintings from the wall and sent them to Ye Mumu.

「god, Yin is still in the military camp. When I return to the general’s mansion tomorrow, I will surely provide full compensation.」

Ye Mumu looked at the two long swords that had fallen. She unsheathed one.

The sword was 1.2 meters long, its blade engraved with “Marquis of Ningguan” and his seal.

Made of steel, the sword gleamed coldly, sharp and pointed.

The hilt was inlaid with precious stones, indicating the sword’s value.

She said, 「I still have the gold you gave me last time. I’ll sell some to help fund your military supplies.」

She didn’t dwell on it, still helping to gather military supplies.

Zhan Chengyin felt grateful: 「god, you are very kind. Yin will organize the people to build a temple for you tomorrow, with daily incense offerings.」

He was quite persistent about building a temple.

Ye Mumu said, 「No need. I’m not a divine being. You can just call me Ye Mumu!」

But the general replied,「 Impossible. You saved 100,000 people in Zhen Guan . You are a god in the hearts of my Zhan family army and the people!」

「This matter is settled!」

This young general was quite stubborn, saying one thing and meaning it!
