Li Xuan originally wanted to lead all the students to apologize seriously to Chen Ji, but at this moment, he looked at the empty inn hall and didn't know what to do.

All of them muttered in a low voice: "Will they just not come back?"

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Not to."

All of them analyzed in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, it's impossible for him to find food every day. If he finds dozens of kilograms of grain, only the four of them will be able to last for a long time, but if we give our Yulin Army a penny, there will be not much left. If I were him, I would hide and eat it secretly by myself and would not come back."

"No," Li Xuan hurried to the backyard until he saw Zaozao still staying in the stable, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "The horse is still here, they will come back."

Li Xuan turned around and saw that Qi Zhenjiu was still stunned. He immediately urged impatiently: "What are you still doing? Call us all up to find food. Remember, when Chen Ji comes back, you must apologize sincerely to him and never act irresponsible."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Chen Ji can find food, which means there must be people hiding food in the city. If he can find it, I can find it for you too." Qi Zhenzhuo ran to shout the Yulin Army in the Herringbone Shop and led a large group of troops out to find food.

The inn became quiet again, and Li Xuan sat at the Eight Immortals table with a frown.

After Chen, Chen Liqin took Liang, Chen Wenzong, Chen Wenxiao, Wang Gui, and the Dongshen came downstairs. He politely greeted Li Xuan: "My Lord Li is early."

Li Xuan bowed weakly: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Liqin looked around at the empty Zhengtang and asked in confusion: "Why is Lord Li sitting here alone, and the others?"

Li Xuan explained: "We've all gone out to find food."

Wang Gui asked with apologized smile: "Mr. Li, I wonder if the Yulin Army still has food in hand. My master, wife, and young master have not had breakfast yet."

Li Xuan shook his head: "It's gone. The Yulin Army only left five days of food for His Highness here, so this must not be moved."

Wang Gui was slightly stunned, and then anxious: "What about the five kilograms of yellow noodles that my Chen family took out yesterday?"

Li Xuan looked at him: "It's all cooked in the porridge from last night, didn't you drink it?"

Wang Gui asked anxiously and a white face: "All it's cooked? Will your Yulin Army live? There is no reason to keep food without leaving any food!"

Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "It's hard for the Yulin Army to look for food for a day outside. If you can't even drink a bowl of porridge, what should you do if your body collapses?"

Wang Gui had to refute it again, but heard Chen Liqin shouting angrily: "Enough, how can a servant dare to question Lord Li's decision?"

Wang Gui shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Li Xuan also eased his tone: "Mr. Chen, please be careful, and think that you have already taken people out to find food. You can get some more or less back. Even if you don't have as much as yesterday, you won't let everyone starve to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cotton curtain was lifted up and he was thinking about getting into the house and slapped the wind and sand on his body.

Li Xuan hurriedly asked, "Have you found the food?"

Qi Zhenjue shook his head: "Not found, last night, the snake in Guyuan led people to rob several houses and searched all the remaining grain."

Li Xuan was stunned: "Hasn't you found it at all? When you went out in the morning, you swear that since Chen Ji can be found, you will definitely be able to find it too. What about now?"

Qi Jingjing said embarrassedly: "It's true that there is nothing..."

Li Xuan asked in a voice: "If you didn't find the food, why are you going to do? Since you know that you don't have the ability to Chen Ji, you should be more restrained last night and don't get him angry!"

"I'm not able to do it?" Qi Zhenjue was angry and embarrassed: "Li Xuan! Don't forget how you came from, if it weren't for my sister..."

"Think together!" Li Xuan suddenly stood up and said coldly: "My Li family is based on the ancestral official skills. I was going to enter the three camps in the imperial fronts. It was your grandfather who cut off my future and forced me to marry into your family. I didn't cry and beg you to join your family!"

Qi Jingju blushed: "Will you be able to advance to the state of seeking Taoism at the age of 30 rely on the cultivation resources provided by my family? Ginseng is given one by one, and Yanglu jade is given one by one. If you go to the three camps, who will give you these cultivation resources? Your current state of seeking Taoism is not entirely due to my sister's dowry?"

Li Xuan was speechless for a while, and finally waved his hand powerlessly: "I can't control you, go do whatever you like."

Chen Wenzong, who was standing beside him, whispered: "Don't say something hurts people when quarrels. If you say something, you can't take it back."

After all the arguments, I regretted it, but I couldn't say anything about apologizing.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down and looked at Chen Wenzong, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen, I know Chen Ji respects you. If he comes back later, I hope you can talk to me. The matter of finding food will be undesirable."

Chen Wenzong shook his head: "Sorry, I can't say it."

Li Xuan was stunned.

Chen Wenzong said seriously: "Mr. Li, although I am hungry, my brother suffered a lot yesterday. I can't just forget anyone he is willing to forgive, and I am not willing to forgive anyone. I, a brother, cannot make decisions for him, nor can I be an accomplice who wronged him. If he chooses to compromise because of my affection, I will be uneasy."

Li Xuan sighed heavily: "I understand what Brother Jung means, but..."

Chen Wenzong bowed: "Mr. Li doesn't need to say much, I'll go out to find food too."

After saying that, he opened the curtain and walked out of the inn.

Chen Wenxiao suddenly said beside Liang, "Don't worry, Lord Li, Chen Ji will come back later, and let my father talk to him."

Li Xuan glanced at Chen Wenxiao and ignored it.

Now, only Chen Wenzong has some weight in Chen Ji. As for Chen Liqin, Chen Liqin himself dared not boast about trying to persuade Chen Ji.

Everyone was waiting in the main hall until noon. The Yulin Army returned one after another. Except for a few people who found a few pieces of mixed grain cakes, they all returned empty-handed.

Just these few pieces of mixed grain cakes are not enough for each person to lick it.

At the end of the evening, Chen Wenxiao and others were so hungry that their eyes were straightened. Every time someone lifted the curtain, they felt expectation in their hearts, but this expectation fell in a flash.

There is no food in Guyuan, really nothing.

The cotton curtain was lifted up again, and the orange sunset shone in from outside in the evening, which plated a layer of gold on the edge of the visitor's body.

After seeing the person clearly, Li Xuan stood up and said, "Chen Ji?"

Everyone's eyes were bright and they stared at the door.

Chen Ji crossed the threshold with a dark cloud in his arms, and looked at the dark crowd in the hall quietly: "Where are you?"

Li Xuan didn't care about anything else and stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Chen Ji, have you found food today?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No. Today, all the wealthy businessmen in Guyuan City have been robbed. Only a few wealthy businessmen with officials can defend their home business. Guyuan City is already in chaos and the border troops cannot control it."

Chen Wenxiao stood up and asked, "Have you found no food at all?"

Chen Ji nodded, and the hall fell into silence again.

In this silence, Xiaoman suddenly burped.

Chen Ji: "..."

Li Xuan: “…”

Everyone looked at Xiaoman. Xiaoman covered his mouth with his hands in horror and looked at Zhang Xia for help.

Zhang Xia smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything wrong. Some people don't want to eat the food they come clean, so we don't force it. If we bring the food back today and get framed by someone, wouldn't we begging yourself for trouble? Xiaoman, are you right?"

Xiaoman nodded fiercely: "Sister Axia is right!"

Her eyes rolled: "But Sister Axia, what should those who have nothing to eat do? They are so pitiful."

Zhang Xia sang and said with a smile: "Suffering hardships, it's only the second day of the siege, and there are still more hardships to endure."

Chen Wenxiao pointed at the two of them angrily: "You!"

Zhang Xia suddenly turned cold: "We? Chen Wenxiao, don't act like I don't know how you, Na Kui, come to the exam. If you dare to point fingers at us, and if you dare to say bad things about Chen Ji, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhang Zheng agreed: "That's it!"

The girl in red had her waist and back standing straight in the main hall. Facing dozens of Yulin soldiers without fear, Xiaoman looked up at Zhang Xia's side face slightly, with her eyes shining brightly.

Li Xuan winked at Qi's consideration, and his voice squeezed out from his teeth: "Apology!"

Qi Jingju stood up reluctantly, but before he could apologize, he saw that the curtain of the inn was lifted up again.

Everyone looked at it, but saw a soldier from the border army entering the door and asked loudly: "Who is the young master of the Chen family?"

Chen Wenxiao replied: "I am."

The soldiers of the border army glanced at him: "Do you dare to ask if it is Mr. Chen Ji?"

Chen Wenxiao was suffocated.

Chen Ji turned around and asked curiously: "I am Chen Ji, what instructions does this general have?"

The soldiers of the border army said expressionlessly: "Young Master Chen, General Hu of my family is invited."
