Chapter 527

That evening, all the military provisions were stowed inside the Wooden Oxen. Because only Si Jiuyue’s trusted confidants knew how to operate the mechanisms, no one else could figure out how to open them, meaning that even if someone tried to snatch the oxen, they wouldn't be able to make off with the supplies inside. That same night, Si Jiuyue had Dong Xian arrange to stew pork for the soldiers. The venison was roasted, and she even placed a large basin of pork before the graves of the fallen soldiers as an offering. However, after the memorial rites were finished, she had the meat brought back; food was far too precious to waste.
