Chapter 227: The Moonrise Shines on My Heart
After a while, the face of the King of Shu became ugly: "Quick, quick, call the generals who went to Luogu City to do business!" ”
After the military general entered the study of the King of Shu, he carefully recounted the scene of that day again. www.biquge.info I don't know why, I don't know why, everything sounded normal that day, but now the King of Shu sounds like there are doubts everywhere.
His face became more and more gloomy, and he asked someone to call the official in charge of spying on the intelligence of the Qi army camp and asked him if there were large quantities of goods entering and leaving the Qi army camp recently.
The official took the booklet and read that on the night of the transaction in Luogu City, a fleet of ships came to the vicinity of the Qi army's camp along Zhou Yanqu, docked, and a large number of goods were transported down, and the Qi army sent a convoy to transport them away.
After hearing this, the King of Shu only felt a burst of blackness in front of him, and the pain in his chest was so severe that it seemed that he had just been punched a dozen times: "Basically, it is certain that outside Luogu City that day, it was the Great Qi army disguised as a soldier of the Three Pillar Kingdoms and bought 100,000 quintals of rice at a flat price. ”
But how did the news leak, if it was stolen by the Daqi people in Yiguo, Lu and Korea, then these three countries would definitely know the clues, and now the kings of the three kingdoms all denied it, which shows that the Daqi State knew the news before the letter of the King of Shu was sent out of the country.
Thinking of this, the King of Shu was so angry that he smoked, and the forbidden places in the palace around him were all ghosts, so could he pay it back? The king of Shu urgently ordered his chamberlain to arrest the envoys who had sent letters to the three countries, and not surprisingly, all three of them mysteriously disappeared.
This news made the King of Shu even more angry than being insulted by the three monarchs. This shows that this well-defended palace of the king of Shu does not know how many details of the Qi country have been mixed in, and every move of the king of Shu is under the control of Zhao Yuan, and he also had correspondence with Taifu some time ago, and most of this matter has also reached Zhao Yuan......
At this moment, the minister of the palace had something important to report, and the king of Shu ordered him to come in and reply.
The minister came in and said with a heavy face: "Since yesterday, the water level in the lower reaches of the Qinjiang River has been dropping, and after a day and a night, the water level has dropped to a normal height. ”
"The people who were rushing to harvest rice on both sides of the river all stopped. Judging from the information that has been returned, the people on both sides of the strait have not harvested much rice in the past few days, accounting for only about 20 percent of the total. ”
Hearing the news, the King of Shu's face became ugly, and he tried not to let the minister see his frustration. But his heart was stimulated again, as if he had just been slapped on the left side of his face, and he was rubbing it, and his right cheek was shaved again.
The King of Shu scolded in his heart: "Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan, you are too vicious!" After the Qi army bought grain and grass at a low price, there was no need for horses to lower the water level of the Qinjiang River, and they couldn't wait to do so, and the result was that the people refused to harvest the unripe rice fields because they were distressed, and the Qinjiang River once again fell into a situation of lack of grain.
The king of Shu, who had rice in Tun, could only stare dryly when he saw this situation, because the king of Shu had just written a letter to sell rice to this Yiguo, Lu and Korea at a low price, and the words had been exported and could not be changed.
This is naturally a good thing for the people who grow rice in the three pillar countries, and they can save the rice that is not yet fully ripe until it is ripe before harvesting. But for the money-hungry King of Shu, losing this opportunity to make a lot of money is tantamount to stripping his flesh and drinking his blood.
He trembled with anger, pointed to the north, beat his chest, and cursed 10,000 swear words in his heart, but because he was afraid that the spies of Qi State would be planted around him, he didn't dare to say it with his mouth, so he could only make a few "bah, bah" a few times.
Late at night in the military camp of the Great Qi State.
Seeing the wooden carts carrying grain and grass pushing in from outside the camp one by one, Zhao Yuan deliberately let these soldiers pushing the wooden carts rush in through the widest passage in the camp. The generals and soldiers of all walks of life in the battalion saw the grain and grass carts in the process of walking and coming, and naturally told each other. For a while, the worries and doubts hidden in the Qi army camp quickly disappeared.
Fuyue stood beside the passage, watching the grain trucks pass by, without speaking, but his throat was a little uncontrollable bitter.
This time it was too risky.
Tonight is the last night before the food is cut out.
If there is no such grain and grass to deliver, there will be no rice in the pot tomorrow afternoon. What will happen when hundreds of thousands of people suddenly run out of food? Fuyue didn't even dare to imagine.
Now, everything is settled. Fuyue felt as if one foot had slipped on the edge of a cliff, and just when he felt desperate, hopeless struggle, and fell out of control, his body was instantly pulled back by a powerful big hand.
It's not the first time this feeling has been, but every time he pulls back his big hand belongs to the same person.
After the grain and grass were settled, Fuyue wanted to visit his father in the tent, but before he reached the door, he saw him carrying a knife out of the tent and walking outside the camp.
Fuyue hesitated, but still followed.
Zhao Yuan walked for a while in the night, and came to a stop on a moonlit field.
Fu Yue walked over slowly, leaning against him and standing.
Zhao Yuan was not surprised, he didn't look back and said calmly: "What are you doing here, I just came out for a walk, and it will be fine." ”
Fu Yue watched the half-wheel crescent moon pass through the clouds as light as Wu Sha, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to say, "Erchen wants to accompany his father." ”
Zhao Yuan didn't say anything anymore and walked forward slowly.
Fuyue silently accompanies him.
Zhao Yuan glanced at Fuyue while walking, the young man was only half a head shorter than himself, his face was like a bright moon, his eyebrows were handsome, his teeth were white and his lips were red, coupled with his calm and clever temperament, he was really a good son who everyone loved.
Every time he saw Fuyue getting better and better in the past, Zhao Yuan was relieved and always remembered the promise he made to his father-in-law that if the queen had a son-in-law, she would definitely let her son-in-law inherit the unification. Every time he thought of this, Zhao Yuan always felt a faint cloud in his heart.
But when he saw Fuyue today, Zhao Yuan's heart was not so heavy, not that he forgot his promise to his father-in-law, but that he didn't seem to care so much.
Fu Yue was standing beside Zhao Yuan at this moment, with infinite pride in his heart, and not only because his father was the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom. More because of his strong demeanor from beginning to end.
He has always regarded his father as his life goal, and he hopes that he can be like his father, although Fuyue faintly feels that he will never be able to compare with his father in some things, and the gap may be that little decisiveness.
The two men stood in the watery moonlight, and although they didn't say anything, they had never had such a tacit understanding between them, and there was no estrangement.
To what extent is the tacit understanding? At this time, they were thinking at the same time: on the battlefield, each other can block the fatal knife for each other when danger comes.
Above their heads, a bright moon was as white as silver.
