"General Mu, what are you talking about? How is this possible? There was an enemy attack last night?" Jian Mu, who had come back to his senses, said in horror.

That's three months' worth of grain and grass for 1.5 million people! Even if it is burned by fire, it will take an entire night to burn it all, so how can it be said that it will be destroyed if it is destroyed?

"Your Highness, you'd better go and see for yourself!" the general said without tears.

Jian Mu hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and the soldiers on the road fell to the ground with pale faces holding their stomachs, and Jian Mu frowned and asked the general: "What's going on?"

General Mu explained: "In the morning, many soldiers vomited and diarrhea after eating the food that had been drenched in the rain, but the doctor had already checked that there was no serious problem. ”

"Why don't you let them go back to their homes?"

"The soldiers' tents are too thin, many of them have been corroded by the rain, and they are organizing personnel to repair them!"

"Was there a problem with last night's rain?" Jian Mu wondered.

"Well, our soldiers and supplies were all killed, and some of them even hid in the forest all night in the rain with nowhere to take refuge. ”

Jian Mu said anxiously: "Come and go to the warehouse with me to have a look!"

Jian Mu accompanied General Mu to the warehouse where the grain was stacked, and found that a large amount of grain and grass had disappeared, and only some rags were scattered on the ground in more than a dozen tents dedicated to storing supplies, and only a part of the wet grain and grass had been sorted out and placed in a corner of the dry open space.

"Can anyone explain to me what happened?" Jianmu, who had not yet woken up, was completely confused, he felt that he must be dreaming, a heavy rain had washed away all the food and grass of his army of 1.5 million, how could he believe what was happening in front of him.

A nearby military doctor stepped forward and reported: "Well, Your Highness, this ...... The strange rain must not have been caused by man, and we checked the water five miles away in the morning, and found that it was no different from the rain in our camp. ”

"Isn't it man-made? Could it be that this is still a great gift from God? Look at the trees nearby, how come our grain and grass have suffered?" Jian Mu said angrily.

The medic explained: "We have found that the strange rain only has a strong corrosive effect on grain, coarse cloth and the fruits of some trees, and has little effect on other items, of course, if you drink a small amount, it will also cause physical discomfort. ”

Jian Mu sighed, how could this matter be said wrong, it can't be blamed on the doctors, and then he has to count on these doctors to treat the wounded soldiers who vomit and diarrhea!

"Is there any way to eat the rest of the food now?"

The doctor was puzzled: "You can ask the adults of Jiyue Island to perform the purification technique, but in the end, the rest of the food has been soaked in the strange rain overnight, so if you can't eat it, try not to eat it." ”

"I see, what about the wounded soldiers?" Jian Mu said with a strong suppression of anger.

"Cultivation can be recovered in a few days, this highness does not have to worry. ”

"Okay! Arrange for someone to take care of the wounded soldiers, you go and rest first, you are tired after a busy morning. Jian Mu patted the doctor on the shoulder and said.

"Your Highness Xie cares!"

After the doctor left, Jian Mu said coldly, "Which general was on duty last night?"

General Mu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Is that you?"

General Mu said in a cold sweat: "No! It's not me! Your Highness, it was your wife and brother who were on duty last night. I only succeeded him this morning, and as soon as I found out that something was wrong, I went to your camp to report it!"

"Zegan, where is he now?"

"Run...... Ran away!"

"Escape! when?" said Jian Mu angrily.

General Mu immediately replied: "It should be that in the early morning Zegan found out that he had neglected to observe and caused a big accident and fled, and after I found out, I immediately sent someone to chase after me." ”

"Why didn't the guards at the camp gate stop it?"

"They are soldiers under Zegan. ”

Jian Mu ordered with an expressionless face: "The derelict guards will be dealt with according to military law, Ze Gan...... Kill them as soon as they are caught!"

"Yes!"

After properly arranging the measures to repair the barracks, Jian Mu returned to the camp alone in a daze, and he had sent out the personnel to ask for supplies from the rear, which was the only way he could think of now, but even if he hurried up, it would take more than ten days to rush back to the summoning empire, and it would take a month and a half to raise supplies and send them here at the earliest, and the soldiers who had waited for the food to reach him in two months would have already starved to death.

"Jianmu, why didn't you send someone to inform me of such a big incident?" said Balu as he stormed into the tent.

Jian Mu said in despair: "Inform you, is it useful? Can you conjure food for me? Not to come and taunt me." ”

Balu comforted: "I went to the warehouse yesterday before I left to check that there was no gap, and you also left someone to guard it, so I don't blame you for this kind of thing." ”

Baru didn't look down on Jianmu, but this person at least listened to persuasion, and if he really wanted to complain, he had been there in person in the rain last night, didn't he find any problems? He came to the door just to discuss a practical solution with Jianmu.

"That's what you think?"

"You and I are both working for the eldest prince, one is prosperous, one is lost, now is not the time to complain, completing the tasks assigned by the eldest prince is the key. ”

Jian Mu said dejectedly: "But look at my troops...... Whether it will last until tomorrow is not certain!"

"You're not alone, you have Jiyue Island to support you, and besides, aren't there two allies, Qi Tu and Illusion Liberation Yang?"

Jianmu's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I can borrow food from them, or I can just spend money to buy food." ”

"Wait! you don't really think it's a natural disaster, do you?"

"You mean it's all made up by the Illusion Release?"

Bal Wu sneered and said, "I'm just guessing, but if this strange rain is a natural disaster, it is impossible for the troops of the Illusory Sun to be safe and sound!"

"That's right! We're going to go to the Phantom Yang to check it out. ”

"Don't worry! If such a thing happens within the scope of the Polar Moon Island's takeover, how can we stand idly by, I have already asked the disciples of the Polar Moon Island to investigate first, and now you and I are going to find Qi Tu. ”

"What are you looking for him?" Jian Mu wondered.

"Comfort him, and by the way, there will be one more helper!"

Soon, Jianmu sorted out his mentality, and set off on a flying spirit beast with Balu, and within a few hours, the two of them came to the plain outside Liangma City.

A sentry in Qi Tu's station immediately noticed the situation in the sky.

"Who are you, and how dare you trespass into our camp!" shouted loudly, followed by several deliberately missed bows and arrows, which were of great warning significance.

After being stopped, Bal Wu nodded with great satisfaction, and the flying spirit beast landed on the flat ground, and Bal Wu and Jian Mu stood outside the camp together, waiting for the people in the camp to come out to receive them.

A general in heavy armor ordered the soldiers to open the camp gate and said, "Is it the Inspector Lord Balu and the Summoning Imperial Prince Jianmu?"

"Why didn't Qi Tu come out to greet him in person?" Jian Mu said dissatisfied.

"Lord Qi is dealing with the theft of grain and grass, and I ask Prince Jianmu for forgiveness if he is not well entertained. ”

"Sure enough, you also have a problem here, you don't have to stick to hypocrisy in extraordinary times, you can just take us to find Qi Tu. Baru commanded.

"Yes! ”

Qi Tu also has a bitter gourd face at the moment, but the situation here is much better than that of Jian Mu, at least now the soldiers still have food.

"Lord Balu, here you are. Qi Tu's eyes were red and he said weakly.

Looking at this posture, Balu didn't have to ask again without a head or brain, and went straight to the point: "How about your losses?"

Qi Tu was exhausted and said: "Half of the grain and grass have been lost, and there are countless tents. ”

After Jianmu was pleasantly surprised, he asked curiously, "How did you keep the food?"

"Liangma City is mainly cavalry, and I have been here a few times a few days ago, and I thought that the plains here were not safe, so I divided half of the grain and grass and set up a secret camp after retreating a hundred miles," Qi Tu explained.

As the attacking side, Qi Tu's camp was less than thirty miles away from Liangma City, of course, this was already a long distance, and Qi Tu would lose its threat to Liangma City if it was farther.

But these thirty miles are another matter for the elite cavalry of Liangma City, and Qi Tu must always be on guard against this group of guys who come and go freely, and may attack at any time.

"Well, the rain shouldn't cover more than a hundred miles. Baru nodded.

This made him treat Qi Tu a little differently, although Qi Tu's approach was a sign of slack attack, but at least the result was good.

After hesitating, Jianmu still said: "Give me half of your grain and grass! ”

"I have enough grain and grass left here for 200,000 people a month, and I lend you the surplus. Qi Tu smiled bitterly, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he still had the heart to help others.

"You've got a month to go! My 1.5 million soldiers didn't even have breakfast today, and you dragged my men to death!"

"What? no," Qi Tu said, pretending to be surprised.

He also thought that Jianmu was just crying poor with him, and it was true that according to the extent of Qi Tu's disaster, the loss of Jian Mu's camp should not be so serious, but Ah Yun's main target of poisoning was Jian Mu, so it caused Qi Tu's wrong judgment.

Jian Mu reprimanded: "Don't pretend to be with me, I'm burning my eyebrows, you quickly send troops to send half of the food to me." ”

"I'm not going! I have managed to hold on to all this grain and grass, what did you take my soldiers to eat?"

"You...... Can you grow your brains and starve all my people to death and attack you?"

Balu mediated: "Let's get rid of your anger! Qi Tu, you first send three days' worth of food and grass to Jianmu's troops to meet the emergency, he is not lying, if you don't help him, his soldiers will be all finished." ”

Qi Tu was skeptical, and compromised: "Three days! Only three days!"

Jianmu said unwillingly: "Lord Balu, I'm ......"

Balu interrupted: "Listen to me!" you divide 200,000 troops to Qi Tu here, let him solve the problem of food and grass for you, and leave 1.3 million elites to enter the Giant Moon Forest. ”
