Chapter 191: Burning Grain

The gloomy sky was gray, the wind in the north of Shuobei became more and more cold and biting, and large dark clouds drifted overhead, hovering for a long time, and finally fell a little snowdrop like ice crystals, smashing on the face, leaving only a trace of coolness.

The corners of Ling Yichen's lips curled slightly, waiting in front of the tent, not moving forward, nor approaching, just standing quietly, looking deeply ahead.

I don't know how long it took, but the curtain moved.

Ling Yichen's deep eyes flashed slightly, with anticipation and anticipation that he had never noticed, and then he saw a woman wearing an azure plain satin jacket and a snow-white fox fur slowly walking out.

Qing Li breathed a long sigh of relief, her face was already tired, the cold wind outside the camp made her withering spirit slightly lifted, and when she raised her eyes again, she crashed into a pair of dark eagle eyes that were as deep as the sea and as bright as cold stars, and smiled slightly.

Unable to hold back the heat in his heart anymore, Ling Yichen took a few steps forward and hugged her in his arms, as if he was about to rub it into his body.

A muffled voice sounded overhead: "You still know it!" ”

Qing Li Wei'e smiled and wanted to push him away, but the other party didn't move.

She couldn't cry or laugh, "Chen, I'm very dirty, can you let go first?" ”

For three days, she hardly slept all the time, and she had been touching things like sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, and there was a pungent sour smell on her clothes, and she was uncomfortable herself, didn't this person notice?

Ling Yichen smiled sullenly, reached out to rub her already somewhat scattered bun, and said without mind: "What does it matter, dirty or ugly, you are my daughter-in-law!" ”

A group of guards around him, although they all looked at their noses and noses. But it's close, and it's full of martial arts, so it can be heard more than anyone else. For a while, they gave a thumbs up to their masters in their hearts.

Qing Li had a little heat behind her ears, and fine snow droplets hit her face, and she realized that it was already snowing.

The first snow fell at the end of November, so this year it seems a little late......

Burying her face in his chest, the rough and hard uniform made her face hurt a little, "I've got all the ingredients." It will take some time for the craftsmen to assemble it all. ”

There were more than 20 people, whether craftsmen or blacksmiths, all of whom could be trusted. Never say a word more. Only by keeping it so secret can such ingredients not leak out.

She didn't know what was going on with Nishikawa, but it was in her hands. Bombing is never allowed. The dispensing of the medicine is passed into the hands of others. Especially the one in a high position.

Ling Yichen said "um" and didn't ask much.

He was aware of Qing Li's scruples, and this was also his concern.

Before Qing Li started making zuò on a large scale, he had made a few samples to go to the mountains, and this was the first time he had felt the power of this weapon so clearly.

Explode. After the explosion of the medicine, the surrounding trees were blown away, and a large crater appeared on the ground, and a strong smell of gunsmoke filled the nostrils. It's a person like him who licks blood from the knife edge, facing these black and inconspicuous iron balls. It will also feel creepy.

No wonder that in the last war, the ink was lost so heavily......

Ling Yichen tightened his arms a little more, and said in a muffled voice: "In the future, you must not be protected by hidden guards!" ”

Li Er will make this kind of thing, and once it spreads, she will become the object of others to chase her, and those who are ambitious will change their minds to hit her in a different way......

He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have let her do the fried. Medicine.

"When this war is over, I will retire and accompany you on a tour of the mountains and rivers!" After that, I took her away from the ghost place in Kyoto and made the four seas home, just like when I visited Lingchuan with her.

God knows, it was the most comfortable period he had in the past ten years.

Qing Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, but I have to change my clothes first, and I have to sleep well, I'm so tired......"

Ling Yichen smiled slightly, carefully picked her up, lightly kissed her on her eyebrows, and walked towards his tent.

Until everyone had gone away and disappeared, the gray-faced soldier sitting by the dead tree was still staring at the two of them in a daze.

His fists were clenched tightly.

He thought that he would be happy to see Qing Li, but on the contrary, the internal organs in his chest seemed to be pulled by a rope and wrinkled together, in addition to pain, there were countless sourness.

From the moment she walked out of the tent to the moment when she was gone, her gaze never stayed on her for a moment.

Just like that day of the flower festival, he saw her from a long distance, wearing a white dress and graceful demeanor, which was so eye-catching. And he, full of anticipation, picked a peach branch, and was about to step forward to give it to her, but was intercepted by a person.

He hasn't had a head start since......

Is it? Is it always a step too late?

No, he's not reconciled!

The delicate and beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly reflected a burst of coldness, and it seemed to be extremely firm suddenly.

Yan Yitian stood up, looked deeply in the direction where the two left, and strode away without looking back.

……

The dark clouds in the sky gradually thickened, and the fine and dense ice crystals gradually turned into snow flakes, and the snow flakes piled up and turned into goose feather snow, which drifted down from the sky and rose one after another, and soon decorated the earth with silver.

It snowed heavily all night, and a layer of ground accumulated, but the snow did not stop at all, but became heavier and heavier.

A stove was lit in the main tent, and the heat was a strong contrast to the cold outside.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a few snowflakes flew in during this gap, and when they met the warmth of the room, they turned into snow in an instant, staining the wool felt on the ground.

"Fuck it!" Vice General Han walked in scolding, his tall and burly figure was like a mountain, but his movements were extremely agile and vigorous.

He stood in the center of the tent, hurriedly saluted Ling Yichen, and said loudly: "Boss! The Nalaoshzi Xichuan scout burned all the 50,000 stone of grain that had arrived in Rongcheng and was being transported to the front line! Those crumbs! Lao Tzu went and slaughtered them! ”

After that, Vice General Han was about to go out, but was stopped by Vice General Huang, "Old Han, what can you do!" ”

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Xichuan is so cunning, and he is not tired of deceit.

Ling Yichen's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "What about Vice General Jiang? Didn't he let him protect the delivery of this batch of grain? Why is this happening? ”

It's okay not to mention it, as soon as he mentioned this stubble, Vice General Han was furious, "Damn, that Jiang Yushi, I don't know where the people went, I left twenty elite soldiers down to escort the grain, but I didn't even see a shadow!" If he was caught by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu would have peeled his skin! ”

Twenty elite soldiers?

Ling Yichen's face darkened.

The whole 50,000 stone grain is the food and salary of the 100,000 army for more than a month, and now there is not much grain stored in the army, and it is simply not enough to support the military food of the imperial court to be used again, so the importance of this batch of grain does not need to be said at all.

Not only did he Jiang Yushi not show up, but he only sent twenty elite soldiers to guard him? Really take the military camp as a child's play? Or is all the energy focused on slapping the horse, and even the most basic marching and combat skills are gone?

"Someone!" Ling Yichen let out a loud shout.

Immediately, soldiers rushed in from outside the camp, clasping their fists and waiting for orders.

"Chuan Ben Shuai ordered, the deputy general Jiang Yushi Guan Kou was careless, the thief was unknown, the trace was difficult to find, he was derelict in his duties, and the grain transportation of our side was destroyed, this is a mistake in the army, and it will be dealt with according to military law, and it should be beheaded!"

The young general frowned, lowered his head and responded, "Yes!" ”

After that, he went down to give the order and brought a team of people to find Jiang Yushi back.

Everyone here was very popular, but when they thought of the food problem in the army after that, they were deeply worried.

"Vice General Huang, how long will the stock in the army be enough to support it?" Ling Yichen asked in a deep voice.

The Huang lieutenant thought for a while, clenched his fists and replied: "Less than ten days!" ”

There are 100,000 soldiers in the army, and there is not much grain in stock, these ten days are still the most optimistic situation, and at this time, if you report to the imperial court, and then collect food and pay to transport it, it will take at least 15 days, at that time the soldiers are already hungry and weak, how to fight?

Ling Yichen's face was covered with frost and haze, and he was furious.

He is also partly responsible for this matter, if he hadn't sent this Jiang Deputy General to go, I'm afraid Xichuan wouldn't have been so easy to get it!

Ling Yichen pondered for a moment and ordered: "Vice General Huang, immediately let the Eagle Falcon send a message to Kyoto to report to the imperial court, and I will repair another letter now, and let the Eagle Falcon entrust it to Duan Yufeng, the son of the Duan family, and the Duan family will mobilize the grain before the imperial court's food and salary arrive." ”

The Lu family collapsed, and all the rice shops were under the name of the Duan family, and the only way to raise military rations in the short term was to rely on the Duan family. And with Duan Yufeng's indefatigable temperament, he was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he could only buy it at a high price, and he didn't believe that the fox had money or not!

Vice General Huang was stunned for a moment, nodded yes, and immediately went out to do it.

Nangong Yue frowned, "Chen, can that prince send military food in a short period of time?" ”

He obviously didn't trust this Duan Dagongzi very much, when he was in Kyoto, he had heard about Yu Feng's temperament. A runny playboy, is it reliable?

"Chen, it's really not good, let's collect grain from the people nearby!"

As soon as Nangong Yue said this, Ling Yichen's expression turned grim, and he shouted: "Ah Yue, what are we fighting for?" Isn't it just to give the people a peaceful life? If you collect grain now, it will disturb the people and hurt the money! But is it still in line with our original intention? ”

The roar of rage was heart-wrenching.

In fact, not only Nangong Yue, but also the deputy generals present had this idea in their hearts just now, but now that the coach said this, everyone suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, and lowered their heads one by one.

"Don't worry, although Duan Gongzi is famous, his ability is out-and-out." has been friends with Duan Yufeng for many years, if Ling Yichen doesn't even know how many catties and taels he has, then he can really die!

Hearing such a guarantee, everyone felt slightly relieved.

Nangong Yue smiled and said, "It's so good, now we are bombing it. Now that the medicine is available, you don't have to be afraid of the group of puppies in Xichuan anymore! At that time, they must have beaten them to cry and call their mothers! ”

Everyone nodded their heads and secretly rejoiced, but at this time, an abrupt voice of disapproval came from far away from outside the camp, "The young general is too confident, this matter is not so simple!" (To be continued......)
