Chapter 194: Starvation is mercy

"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mo paused, and then said: "That beard is a little dying, do you want to give him some food?" ”

The bearded man has been arrested for so long, but he is full of confidence, and he is sure that someone will save him, so he doesn't say anything.

Later, he was imprisoned in a small black room, only given a bowl of thin rice soup every day, no one talked to him, day and night, and he was hungry all the time, and after a long time, he naturally couldn't stand it.

Not only physically, but also mentally.

In this way, I had to speak.

"No, what was before, and it will be the same in the future." Yan Xi didn't think that the bearded man would finish what he knew.

If he really relented so easily, how could that person ask him to cooperate?

If you are still not honest after suffering hardship, then it is better to continue, anyway, no one will die, at most you will be hungry.

"My subordinates understand."

Mo Yi didn't think about serving the bearded man with good food and drink, since he was a captive, it was already merciful to starve and not die.

What's more, two years ago, Yan Xi almost died because of this, and the beard is even more unforgivable.

"Well, if he can still say something useful, maybe he can even give him a steamed bun." Yan Xi hooked his lips and smiled coldly.

Although there will be no shortage of grain and grass in Licheng, but because of the long and cold winter, the grain and grass are a little insufficient, so there is a flock of sheep on the station, just waiting for the winter to eat, although the smell is big, but it is really warm.

It didn't take much effort to raise sheep, and 100,000 soldiers, a team of men could cut a lot of grass in half an hour every day, enough to save hay for the winter.

Sheep dung can also be used as fuel for fires, so the soldiers are also active.

The bearded man should be glad that he is still a useful captive, so he can still drink a bowl of thin rice soup.

A steamed bun is also a big temptation for a big man who has been hungry for several months.

dragging the hungry and limp body, even if you want to escape, you can't do anything, but I'm afraid that you will be even more desperate.

The bearded man must have known that the two armies were fighting on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Bai tribe was defeated, so he let go and said those.

It's just that these news sound very chicken now, and it's useless to keep them, so it's a pity to abandon them.

Yan Xi had enough patience to wait for him to tell all the facts he knew.

Mo Yiyi: "The subordinates see that the bearded man is by no means an idle person, he is very cunning, if that person does not have enough interests, it must not be enough to win his trust, and the subordinates feel that his previous words are nine points true and one point false." ”

"When I get the letter, I will naturally know whether what he said is true or false, since that person has also arranged someone in the army, presumably the news of the bearded man's arrest has already been delivered, and he has not moved now, either he believes that this person can escape, or he ......"

Yan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Either give up this chess piece completely, the internal strife of the Bai clan is a fact that cannot be changed, and it will not be difficult for him to choose a new partner again." ”

Since it is a civil strife, there are naturally many people who want to take the throne, and if they can get the support of the prince of Chu State, it will also be a big help, and it will naturally be much easier to bring down the current leader.

In the past few days, Yan Xi has defeated the Bai people, and his usual arrogance is gone, and he is almost about to return to his lair, not daring to be too presumptuous anymore.

Chu Jun can rest for a long time, although the New Year has passed, the weather has not warmed up, it is still like a year ago, as cold as ever, today the sky is gloomy, just look at the dark clouds, you know that there is snow.

After Yan Xi dealt with the affairs in the army, he left Mo Yi in the town and returned to the general's mansion by himself.

To eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival, Xiao Jiu thought about wrapping some by himself, and when he saw the glutinous rice, he thought of the glutinous rice again, so he steamed the glutinous rice and made some glutinous rice dumplings, and then crushed the fried peanuts, put the cut glutinous rice into the broken peanuts and rolled it around, and it was very fragrant when it smelled.

It's just that the glutinous rice is a little sticky and not easy to swallow, so Mrs. Xiao only ate a piece slowly and didn't move her mouth again.

Xiao Chen liked it very much, ate two pieces in a row, and drank a cup of milk tea, and then went to the study to practice calligraphy with satisfaction.

When Yanxi came back, he saw his wife holding a small bowl eating Lantern Festival, strode over, ate the one she had just scooped up, and swallowed it before saying, "Is the peanut trapped?" ”

"Well, the dumplings wrapped today, a kind of black sesame seeds, a kind of peanuts, are they delicious?" Xiao Jiu glanced at the bowl, there was the last one left, she drank it with the soup in one gulp, licked her lips, and said, "I also made glutinous rice cakes today, and left some for you, red jade ......"

Xiao Jiu called Hongyu in and instructed, "Go to the kitchen and bring that plate of glutinous rice cakes, and build a pot of hot tea." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Ruby went to make tea and brought it in, and then went to the kitchen.

Xiao Jiu poured him a cup of hot tea and asked, "The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, is there any activity in Licheng?" ”

In the past, in modern times, Xiao Jiu's deepest impression of the Lantern Festival was the setting off of fireworks, and sometimes he could guess lantern riddles.

However, Xiao Jiu's property house, the Lantern Festival weather is also very cold, and the possibility of her going out is very small, so she can only stay at home to watch fireworks, lantern riddles or something, and she also listens to others.

However, in ancient times, the Lantern Festival seemed to have a lantern festival.

It's just that in such a cold weather in Licheng, if there is a lantern festival, I don't know if anyone will go out at night.

"In previous years, there were lantern festivals, and this year there should be, do you want to go out and see them?"

It is rare to be able to accompany Xiao Jiu on the street, Yan Xi is a little interested, but obviously, he underestimated Xiao Jiu's house.

"No, it's too cold, just hang a few more lanterns at home." Xiao Jiu felt that with the area of the General's Mansion, it was enough to arrange a small lantern festival.

"How can that be compared? If it's a festival, then it should be more lively, no matter how many lanterns are hung in the house, it will look deserted, and besides, if you wear thicker clothes and hold a hand stove, it won't be too cold. ”

Yan Xi knew that Xiao Jiu was afraid of the cold, especially the winter in Licheng was even colder, Xiao Jiu's two down jackets were worn over and over again throughout the winter, and she rarely wore anything else, also because she was afraid of the cold.

"That's cold, too, and, look at the sky outside, it's going to snow again, it will be even colder after the snow, the lanterns will be there every year, and I don't necessarily have to see it this year."

Xiao Jiu didn't agree with anything, she was already afraid of the cold, but she didn't want to catch a cold again because she went to see the lamp, so she drank those bitter Chinese medicines.

What's more, in ancient times, a small cold was a major illness, and she didn't take cold medicine in the past, and she completely survived it.

"It's fine." Yanxi didn't force her, but she already had a plan in her heart, so she didn't say anything.

Hongyu brought up the glutinous rice cake made by Xiao Jiu, Yan Xi ate a piece and put it down, he didn't like this kind of thing very much, but Xiao Jiu, who had eaten rice balls just now, would accompany Yan Xi to eat two pieces of glutinous rice cakes, and then wiped his hands and drank some tea.
