“I saw his truck coming over. Whatever price he offered you, I can match it,” Uncle Liang said, taking the initiative to lower his price.

Xiao Yingchun decided to put his mind at ease. “I’ll continue buying from you. I won’t be considering Wei Xiang for now.”

She even explained her reasoning outright. “I’m not concerned about a few extra mao. We’ve worked together for so long—you’re someone I trust. There’s no need for me to adjust to a new supplier.”

Uncle Liang was overjoyed. “Don’t worry, Yingchun. I’ll supply everything properly. I’ll conduct business honestly and fairly.”

“That’s good. There’s just one thing—what I told you today, I hope Wei Xiang won’t hear about it.”

She didn’t want unnecessary trouble.

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t…”

By the time Uncle Liang left, it was nearly dinner. After a moment’s thought, Xiao Yingchun ordered some takeout.

Steamed mandarin fish, blanched greens, and rice. She could afford good food now.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, a ding-dong sounded at the back door.

Xiao Yingchun looked up—it was Fu Chen’an.

Fu Chen’an was dressed in a short gray outfit today, with a dull gray cloth band tying back his hair.

Xiao Yingchun stared at him in surprise. What kind of getup is this?

Seeing her reaction, Fu Chen’an explained on his own initiative, “I slipped out of the camp quietly. An imperial envoy from the court has arrived. I can’t let him know I’m here, so I dressed like this…”

It turned out that the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty had arrived in Yongzhou City today to deliver an edict.

Just as Fu Chen’an and Fu Zhonghai had anticipated, the court ordered Fu Chen’an to return to the capital early the next morning, while Fu Zhonghai would remain in Yongzhou to command the Fu Family Army.

His suspicions had proven correct, yet Fu Chen’an felt no joy—only a deep chill in his heart.

He knew he would be leaving the next day. Even if he could still access the Cross-Time Supermarket afterward, the distance would be too great for him to continue delivering supplies to the Fu Family Army.

That was why he came tonight, hoping to ask Xiao Yingchun what else he could purchase for the Fu Family Army.

Fu Chen’an hesitated, stopping himself several times. In the end, perhaps because he realized that Xiao Yingchun had no ties to anyone in the Great Liang Dynasty and would not leak secrets, he finally spoke.

“I’m worried that the Fu Family Army may face danger in the future while I’m not there. I wanted to ask, are there any items you could help me purchase that might be useful to them?”

Caught off guard, Xiao Yingchun couldn’t think of anything else at first. She looked around, and her gaze suddenly landed on the A-frame ladder leaning against the wall.

Wasn’t there an aluminum-alloy fire-rescue ladder? Those could extend very high—perhaps they could be used as siege ladders.

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Yingchun said, “Wait here. I need to go out for a bit. Come back again tonight. If I can get them, I’ll bring everything over overnight. Come back in an hour.”

She first searched a map for nearby outdoor-equipment stores and fire-safety suppliers, then called the numbers listed. Before long, she found a shop that sold fire-rescue ladders.

She drove there immediately, buying fire ladders, climbing hooks, spiked climbing gear worn on the feet, small head-mounted umbrellas used by fishing enthusiasts, and other items…

After having the goods delivered to the warehouse, she went there personally to pick them up.

The round trip took two full hours.

When she handed the items to Fu Chen’an, Xiao Yingchun explained their uses one by one, asking whether he could understand how they worked.

Of course Fu Chen’an understood.

What he couldn’t understand was this—how could such a long ladder be so light?
And that grappling hook—its design was ingenious, yet its strength and hardness were astonishing…

As for the small head-mounted umbrella, it was exceptionally lightweight and practical. Used under the blazing sun or on rainy nights, it could spare the soldiers from excessive heat and rain, reducing illness as well.
