Capítulo 244: The Gods Are Watching

Shopkeeper Niu found Qiao Mai and said, "Boss, should we stock up on grain?"

"No need. Let's see how it goes. Those barbarians couldn't conquer the Ming Dynasty. They'll fail miserably!"

"Boss, I don't know why, but when you speak like this, it brings peace to my heart."

"Just do your business as usual. No need to worry."

"Yes."

In August, the battle at the northern gate finally began. The barbarians were fierce, and they almost captured the city several times. If not for the soldiers' determined defense, the barbarians would have entered the city already.

Since the battle began, Yuan Jiaqi hadn't returned home. He sent a letter asking Qiao Mai for some medicinal herbs. Qiao Mai raised her eyebrow as she saw that.

She had plenty of medicinal herbs, so she hired several carts and horses, continuously transporting herbs to the north.
