Chapter 177: Borrowing Grain
"Hou Qi, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?" asked Yu Yun in a somewhat guilty whisper after Mang left.
"It's okay Yu Yun, Mang's old guy is just like a wooden head when it comes to Zu Xun, and he can't do it rigidly. Otherwise goblin goblin, so what we mean, he should have guessed. And he probably didn't really want to help Tanas, but it was just because of Zuxun. Now there was an excuse, and he took advantage of it. Hou Qi comforted Yu Yundao.
"This old thing, I've known each other for nearly a thousand years, and it's still so awkward. Listening to Hou Qi's words, Yu Yun also reacted and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
At this time, Yin Yi was leaning on the wooden stake outside Shen Xi's tent, looking at the sky in a daze boredly. Riding the upgraded version of Yuan's "hitchhiking" before, it only took a blink of an eye to come to Shen Xi's latest station. But it happened that Shen Xi and them were having a meeting, and the meeting had already started for a while, and the guards outside the camp door stopped Yin Yi and Yuan, who were about to enter.
"Yuan, what's going on inside, haven't they finished talking yet?" Yin Yi couldn't wait a little and asked.
"I don't know, didn't you tell me not to disturb them?"
"Ugh. Yin Yi scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, he was stopped by the doorman just now, Yuan was about to go in directly to find Shen Xi, but he stopped him, saying that he didn't want to disturb them to do business. As a result, after hearing that, Yuan directly turned into a gust of wind and stopped paying attention to him.
Yin Yi knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to continue to look at the sky in a daze. But fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. Shen Xi: Their meeting finally ended, and nearly thirty people came out of the tent one after another. Most of them are fresh faces, but this is mainly because Yin Yi's usual focus is on training, and he doesn't know much about the personnel structure under Shen Xi's management.
"Hey, that kid over there, Lord Shen Xi let you in. After Leon walked out of the tent, he looked around, and when he saw Yin Yi, he beckoned and shouted to him. Yin Yi's excellent performance in the battle during this period of time finally allowed Leon to temporarily eliminate his suspicions, but his attitude was still very bad.
"Thank you. However, Yin Yi didn't care about Leon's attitude, nodded to him and thanked him, and walked into the camp.
At this time, only Shen Xi was left sitting alone in front of the desk in the camp tent, frowning and putting the documents in his hand.
"What's going on? Are you having any problems? It's the first time I've seen you so excited. Yin Yi walked into the account and asked.
"We don't have anything to eat. Shen Xi raised his head and looked at Yin Yi and said with some grievances.
"What?" Yin Yi was also very surprised when he heard this. Except for the time when he first came to this continent, Yin Yi basically didn't hear of anyone who would worry about a bite to eat. Because the living environment of this continent is excellent, it is basically what to grow and live. It can also use magic to shorten the growth cycle, so there is no shortage of food.
But even if they used magic, it would still take three days for the kind of food that Shen Xi and they always had to prepare to grow and mature. During this time, they were forced by the three tribes to update the location of their garrison basically once a day. So there is simply no time for them to grow food. And since they have never had a food shortage, they have not paid attention to the problem in time. It wasn't until the morning when they were ready to cook that they realized that they didn't have enough food left over for everyone to eat.
The manager in charge of logistics hurriedly came to report to Shen Xi, and Shen Xi was also confused after learning the news. She had never encountered such a situation, nor was there a solution to it in her knowledge. Therefore, after thinking to no avail, Shen Xi sent someone to gather all the officials in the team who could temporarily leave their posts to discuss a solution. But other people, like Shen Xi, have never experienced this situation, and they can't think of any effective methods for a while. The meeting took half a day and still couldn't come up with a result, and in the end, Shen Xi could only let everyone go back first.
"I see. After listening to Shen Xi's explanation, Yin Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny. I didn't expect Shen Xi to be born in a family that has been a general for generations, and he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and he would make such a low-level mistake.
"What are you laughing at? Why don't you hurry up and help me figure it out. Shen Xi couldn't help but be disgusted when he saw Yin Yi snickering there.
"On this Shining Gold Continent, it's not easy to solve the problem of eating, I don't know what you're anxious about?" Yin Yi laughed and complained.
"Where is it easy? The stay is too short to grow new food. And because of the war, it was difficult to free up their hands to hunt enough food. If you have anything you can do, tell me quickly, or we'll all go hungry. Shen Xi said.
"We don't have time to plant, but someone else does. Yin Yi said.
"Someone else has?" Shen Xi was a little puzzled.
"Yes, there are so many tribes and forces in this Kosayse Mountains. There is certainly no shortage of food for them, so it would be nice to borrow some from them. Yin Yi said.
"We're new to the city, and we don't have much friendship with them. And now we are still at war with people, how can others easily lend it to us. Shen Xi was a little unconvinced.
"That depends on who you send to borrow it. By the way, I'm just going to tell you that those three tribes have been almost unguarded against their information lately, so there is no need to send so many scouts to find out the news. And this part of the scouts that are freed up is just enough for them to borrow some food from other tribes. Yin Yi said.
"You mean to steal food and come back, isn't that good?" Shen Xi understood the meaning of Yin Yi's words and hesitated.
"It's fine, it's not a precious thing. And when we get better, we'll pay them back. If you feel that you can't get over it, you can ask someone to leave an IOU for them. However, I think their logistics should be similar to ours, as long as they don't run out of food, I'm afraid they won't find out that our scouts have been there. Yin Yi analyzed.
"Okay, let's solve the crisis at hand. After this time, I will personally come to the door and apologize to them. Shen Xi weighed it in his heart for a while, and then clapped his head.
"Great, finally don't have to go hungry. Or Yin Yi, you have a way, and you will help solve a big problem as soon as you come, thank you!" After delivering the order to the door, Shen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Yin Yi and said with a chuckle.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a problem. Yin Yi waved his hand and said.
"Not for you, but big for me. By the way, you suddenly came back to me, there must be something, right?" Shen Xi pursed his lips, suddenly remembered something, and asked.
