Chapter Seventy-One

Tang Dong'er carefully took off the bamboo basket behind him, and saw two large black earth balls in the bamboo basket.

"It's up to you, little ones!" Tang Chun'er said softly.

This is the honey ant she has raised in the academy for more than half a year, if it weren't for helping the refugees, she would be reluctant to release these little babies. The so-called honey ants, in fact, were raised by Tang Dong'er to "make a mouth" of ordinary ants, Tang Dong'er started to raise this batch of ants, only fed them jujube honey, the rest did not feed, a few months passed, their mouths will be messy, non-honey does not eat.

At the same time, these ants become particularly sensitive to the taste of honey and find the nectar source faster than ordinary ants.

Last night, Tang Dong'er had already sent someone to paint several big characters with honey on the city wall, and now, Tang Dong'er was standing under the roots of those big characters.

Tang Dong'er put the bamboo basket under the corner of the wall, and the ants inside quickly began to act, first a few went out to find the source of honey, and then, the ants in the ant nest poured out of the nest and began to climb the city wall along the trajectory of the "pathfinder", winding and divided into several teams.

The ants all crawled out, Tang Dong'er secretly took the bamboo basket back, and the rest was handed over to the ants.

"Mother, you see, the city wall can write by itself." A child said.

The mother was carrying the child on her back, she was very hungry and tired, she gave the child half of the bread that was given to her yesterday, she did not eat a single bite herself, she had no husband and no food, she was not sure if she could live with the child until the vernal equinox.

When she heard her son's words, she only thought that the child was hungry and confused, and coaxed: "Silly boy, the city walls are all bricks, how can you write?" Well, you sleep on your mother's back for a while, and your mother will find you something to eat. ”

The child was still staring at the city wall, and after a while, the little hand patted his mother's back and said, "Mother, the city wall can really write by itself, you see, there are two words that the child still knows, and that is the child's name, Wang Long." ”

The lady turned around and looked up, startled, she couldn't read, but she knew that there were words on the city wall, and she had heard many stories about the gods who were inconvenient to show up, and would use guò words to remind mortals...... Now a row of big characters suddenly appeared on the city wall, and the first thing she thought of was the appearance of the gods.

She knelt on the ground with the child in her arms and cried loudly: "The gods have appeared! Ask the gods to show the women a way to live! ”

At this time, the other refugees heard the cry and looked over one after another, and their eyes were also attracted by the big words on the wall, their faces were shocked, and they fell to their knees and began to kowtow.

These are the lowest level of the people, they are illiterate, but they have a kind of reverence for words.

Especially such a big word that appears on the city wall out of thin air!

In their opinion, this is the will of the gods, and they cannot be disobeyed.

Those who were closer could see that the words on the wall were made up of a group of ants, which made them more religiously convinced, who else but the gods could make the little ants have "wisdom"?

There were still literate people among the refugees, and when the scholar stood up and shouted, "I'll read it out for everyone!" ”

A group of refugees knelt on the ground, and the voices that were originally crying and howling suddenly quieted down, only to hear the martyred scholar read: "The will of the Dragon King, there is food in Mihe!" ”

"The Dragon King's will, there is food in Mihe!" The scholar read it aloud again.

At first, the refugees didn't know what they meant, and they were puzzled, but the scholar explained, "The dragon king has sent us food!" Everyone, go to Mihe! The refugees cheered.

They didn't care about worshipping the dragon king, and the dragon king said that if there was grain in Mihe, there would definitely be grain in Mihe, and they had to hurry over to get food.

When the refugees arrived at the edge of the Mi River, they happened to see small boats floating on the river, and when the boats got closer, they saw sturdy sacks on the boats, and they seemed to smell the fragrance of food.

On the East Gate City, Ge Liuyuan saw that the side of the Mihe River was already crowded, and said, "Let's go, Lord Wang, it's time for us to work!" If we don't move again, the refugees will be rushed, and then good things will turn bad. ”

Wang Jing nodded.

Before the refugees competed, Ge Liuyuan surrounded the city with a group of city guards, and he said to everyone: "Since it is the food sent by the Dragon Lord, I will distribute it to everyone for the Dragon Lord, but whoever robs it will be regarded as disrespectful to the gods and killed!" ”

……

……

On the other side, not far from the West Gate of the Cliff Bridge, Prince Su was waiting there.

With such a large batch of grain, he had to personally escort it back to his granary, so that he could rest assured.

He has already opened up the officers and soldiers guarding the West Gate, as long as the food arrives, it can be secretly transported into Chang'an City, and it will not be known by the imperial court.

Now Chang'an's grain is more expensive than silver, as long as he sells this batch of grain, the money he earns is enough for him to build another palace, and he is excited to think that he can show off in front of other princes.

"Lord Wang, listen, it's the sound of horses' hooves, it must be Deputy Lieutenant Chen." Su Wangye's guard said.

King Su looked from afar on the city wall, and sure enough, he saw a mighty horse team approaching.

It's just that Su Wang Ye immediately felt that something was wrong, why did the group of horses seem to be galloping? Can you still run with hundreds of pounds of grain?

The first to rush over was a black horse, and after just one glance, Prince Su was dumbfounded, empty car!

The horse is his horse, the cart is his car, the flags on the cart are still there, but the food is gone, and not a single bag is gone.

Su Wang Ye was stunned and watched more than three hundred empty cars rushing towards him, and suddenly broke out, pinching the people around him and roaring: "Where is my food?!" ”

The city gate was not opened, the horses stopped, and three hundred empty cars were under the West Gate City, which was simply shocking to King Su.

The food is gone, the palace is gone.

At this time, another news that made him even more desperate came, and a guard stepped forward to report: "Lord Wang, just now there is news from the east gate, on the Mihe River, the Dragon King has given grain, and more than 300 carts of grain have been floated. ”

More than 300 cars? Isn't that his food?

"Where's the grain?"

"It was distributed to the refugees by two state ministers."

If the grain falls into the river, it can be scooped up and hidden in someone's house, and it can be snatched back, but when it is eaten in the stomach of the refugees, it is gone.

Su Wang Ye fainted.
