Tonight they used salt to brush their teeth and felt much more refreshed. Lu Qing let Yu Mingchuan help her dry her hair and put on that kind of linen robe. Soon, she yawned and went to sleep.

A dreamless night.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright and Yu Mingchuan was no longer around her. Lu Qing stretched her body and saw a new set of cotton clothes on the bedside. It was her size, so Lu Qing put them on without any hesitation.

Fit, comfortable, warm.

He combed his hair with a horn comb and tied it behind his head in a bunch. Lu Qing went to the bathroom.

Willow branches, salt, flour fat, everything.

The water was still hot in a jar wrapped in fur.

Lu Qing happily enjoyed herself with this set of items. It seemed that there were some benefits to being Lady Commandant. As long as she didn't get along with that enchanter, she would be able to live on here.

After washing up, Lu Qing walked out of her room and saw that the courtyard had dozens of bags of salt piled up on top of it.

Yu Mingchuan and Faang Jiming were talking beside the salt heap. Seeing Lu Qing coming over, Faang Jiming bowed to her. Although he was still expressionless, Lu Qing noticed that the stone's face had loosened a little.

It was gratitude.

Lu Qing solved their lack of salt, and they could even trade it for a lot of things.

After giving Faang Jiming a few more sentences, Yu Mingchuan naturally pulled Lu Qing's hand and began to walk towards the yard in front.

"I'll take you to the Hechang City later."

He still ate mutton buns for breakfast. However, compared to the breakfast from the day before, the taste was much better. With the salt, the taste was different. The meat was very fragrant, and the taste was also suppressed.

Lu Qing ate three more and also drank a big bowl of millet congee, feeling extremely satisfied.

After the two of them finished eating, the black horse was led over. It still looked like it couldn't wait to run.

Unfortunately, it didn't have the chance to run today. After Yu Mingchuan and Lu Qing got on the horse, they walked at a leisurely pace because there was an ox cart behind them and a group of soldiers on foot.

Hechang City wasn't too far away from the Yumen Barrier. It was more than twenty kilometers, and they would arrive in no time.

Nong Commandant and Feng Yi were standing at the edge of a field with a few Tonden Soldier beside them. They were all dressed like farmers and looked excitedly at Yu Mingchuan's group.

"Little General Yu, did you really get salt?"

The old man looked withered and shriveled, but he was in good spirits. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the ox-cart behind them.

Yu Mingchuan dismounted and Lu Qing also jumped down.

"Elder Feng, this carriage of salt is for the warriors of Hechang City. It's enough for the winter."

Feng Yi strode to the side of the oxcart and opened the top bag. He saw the white salt inside and immediately put a pinch into his mouth.

His face twisted in agony, but he was still unwilling to spit it out.

The few happy Tonden Soldier ran over with the soldiers of Yumen to drive the ox-cart. Meanwhile, Nong Sun, Iron and Steel began to tell Yu Mingchuan about the stores of Hechang City.

The supplies for Hechang City were not only limited to the Yumen level, they were also required to supply them as well. Usually, in addition to Tonden Soldier's grain, he would have to use the money given by the imperial government to buy food nearby. Only then would he be able to use it.

Now that the Jin Country had gone south and their contact with this place was completely cut off, there was no need to even mention the money that had been sent over.

And in order to force them to submit, the Liang Country had sealed the entire western border. From An Xi to the Dunhuang, they could not buy a single grain of food.

One month ago, there was no salt. The food could last for another month. What would happen after that was still unknown.

Relying on the yellow sheep to eat meat was not an option either.

They were worried. Lu Qing was even more worried after hearing the news. She was just about to settle down here when she heard the news of lack of food. No one would be happy if they were in her place.
