Chapter 286: Tribulation
It was a long night for the people imprisoned in the cave, who endured hunger and despair, and when it was dawn, they would be escorted as coolies to Shura City, the capital that the demons had planned to build.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Lingxi heard the scolding of the demon soldiers, and then the demon soldiers distributed some food to the people, and told them that the food was for three days.
Lingxi glanced at the black steamed bun in his hand, and with a smell of sloppiness, he pursed his lips and said, "Just the way you treat it like this, if I want to rebel too." ”
Xinying frowned and said, "Our order is that these slaves have two meals a day, and the portion must not be less than three taels, I didn't expect them to dare..." As she spoke, she crumpled the black steamed bun into a ball and left it on the ground.
A person next to him hurriedly picked up Xinying's steamed buns that were still on the ground, and put them in his arms as if he had found a treasure.
Lingxi smiled and said, "This kind of thing is getting weaker and weaker from top to bottom, and there are too many things to list when there are policies and countermeasures, which is very similar to humans." ”
Xinying naturally heard the mockery in Lingxi's words, but when it happened, she had no way to refute it, so she could only sulk herself, planning that after this matter was over, she must strictly regulate military discipline.
Subsequently, under the escort of the demon soldiers, Lingxi and Xinying followed these slaves and embarked on the road to Shura City together.
Nearly a hundred slaves, the demon soldiers who can be escorted, and there are only a dozen demon generals with them, and it is three days away from Shura City, and it is very likely that accidents will occur during this period, but there are Xinying and One-Eyed, if someone really wants to rob these slaves, I am afraid that they are killing themselves.
One-eyed riding a horse, walking at the front of the queue, originally this demon race did not need a mount, and in their opinion, the general of the human race rode a horse, just to make up for their own shortcomings, although it was extremely shameless on the battlefield, but this behavior was considered a symbol of status by the demons, so they competed to imitate it.
The team walked for a day, there were no accidents on the road, unlike those slaves, Lingxi didn't feel tired at all, probably because of the immortal trees in the Qiankun world, her physique was much stronger than ordinary people, and she was a kind of mentality along the way, enjoying the scenery on the road.
At dinner, One-Eye had planned to greet the two with food, but after being glared at fiercely by Lingxi, he left in disgrace.
The team is stationed under a mountain cliff, backed by a towering green mountain, with the slaves in the innermost circle, and there are demon soldiers on the periphery, on the one hand, to prevent these slaves from escaping, and on the other hand, if there is an enemy attack, they can also respond immediately.
On the third watch of the month, after seeing that the slaves around him were asleep, Lingxi pulled Xinying to the tent where One-Eye was.
"Commander, my lord, I have wronged you. ”
Seeing the two of them coming in, One-Eye hurriedly saluted and said.
Xinying nodded and didn't speak.
"This is dinner for the two of you, and I saw that neither of them had eaten. ”
One-Eye said.
"Well, now is not the time to eat. Lingxi Zhengse said: "I estimate that someone will come to rob the slaves tonight, and you must lose when the time comes, and let these slaves go." ”
"W-why?" said One-Eye, puzzled.
"Don't ask so much, just do as she says!" After Xin Ying finished speaking, her face changed, and she said, "There are people approaching here, and the number of people is fifty." ”
