Chapter 569: Encountering a Loyal Servant at the End of the Road
When Fu Jian said this, he suddenly screamed in his stomach "coo", this sound, everyone heard it clearly, everyone reacted, from the morning to now, only ate a meal before the war in the morning, and it was only sixty percent full, fighting for a day, fleeing for a day, it was already empty in the stomach, just now he was preoccupied with fleeing, no one realized this, and now with Fu Jian's stomach screaming, everyone felt dizzy, and their eyes were full of stars!
Murong Lan also felt hungry in her belly, after all, when she was guarding Mrs. Zhang, she didn't get food and drink, and she ran wildly all the way, for a woman, since she was a female killer as strong as her, she couldn't support it, but she still said in a deep voice: "Heavenly King, I am willing to go around looking for some military rations, please take refuge here, with General Zhang here, unless you encounter a large force of enemy troops, it should be fine." ”
Fu Jian raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that the wind and grass were low on all sides, a depression, it was an out-and-out wilderness, in addition to a few white cranes in the air, flocks of crows and vultures were flying, and between the grass, from time to time you could see the green eyes of wild dogs flickering, all running south, it seemed that the two armies combined more than 100,000 corpses, enough to attract all the scavenging animals within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Fu Jian sighed: "That's it, let's work harder, we are about to arrive in Pengcheng, as long as we enter Pengcheng, we will not lack food and drink!" ”
An old voice sounded from the grass on the side: "Heavenly King, you must not enter Pengcheng!" ”
Fu Jian's face changed, everyone looked nervously at the source of the voice, Zhang Hao suddenly pulled out his saber, and said sharply: "Who is it?" Come out! ”
An old man with white hair, with more than 20 middle-aged and elderly men with yellow faces and thin muscles, pulled more than a dozen cars, and walked out of the grass, loaded with a lot of yellow and black cakes, as well as more than a dozen jars of wine.
Fu Jian's eyes began to shine, looking at the old man, his hair was braided into small braids, which was the most standard hairstyle of the Di people, Fu Jian swallowed a bubble of saliva and said, "Old man, who are you?" How did it end up here? ”
The old man sighed: "Xiaomin is your people of the Heavenly King, a person from Guanzhong, and his name is not enough to worry about. This time the king of heaven went south, Xiaomin took the men of the whole village to go out with the army, and the strong men all entered the army, and Xiaomin and these old guys, the body was weak and could not fight, so they could only be left behind as a people's husband, delivering grain, grass and food for the army, today happened to be our transportation of grain to the front line, but I never thought of it............" Speaking of this, the old man sighed and shook his head silently.
A trace of remorse flashed on Fu Jian's face: "They are all lonely, arrogant, and commandless, so today's fiasco has not only affected the loyal and brave soldiers, but you people who should not have been involved in the war have also suffered!" ”
The old man shook his head and said: "No, Heavenly King, we are Di people, but also the people of Great Qin, whether it is for the country or for our Di tribe, following you is our glory, Xiaomin when he was young, he once served in the army to destroy Yan, hit Liang, and level the generations!" You have given us the honor of being a warrior and given us the peace of Daqin in this troubled world, so even if we are given another choice, we will not hesitate to go south with you. If you can't defeat the Jin Kingdom this time, you can rest and fight again, I believe that God has eyes, and it will definitely let us win! ”
Fu Jian's eyes were full of tears, his hands were trembling slightly, he grabbed the old man's hand, looked at the cracks on his hands, choked up and said: "Lone, the king of heaven, is so incompetent, such a good people, but let you suffer from Lonely, and suffer so much!" ”
The old man smiled slightly and said: "Don't say anything else, Heavenly King, what this girl said just now is right, the soldiers are in chaos, and the soldiers outside may be unfavorable to you, you can't stay here for a long time, hurry up and eat these things, and then go on the road." ”
Fu Jian nodded, stepped forward to pick up a cake, looked around, and said: "Rank ministers, soldiers, you have worked hard today, come, eat these things, let's continue on the road." ”
Mrs. Zhang's brows furrowed, and she said softly, "Heavenly King, these foods ............" She said this, glanced at the old man vigilantly, and stopped talking.
Fu Jian's face also flashed a trace of hesitation, as an emperor, no matter what he ate before, someone would try it first, in case someone poisoned it, but just now he was excited, and he took this cake directly, if he didn't eat it now, it was clearly suspicious of this old man, people looked sincere, and they still followed themselves in danger, if they were so openly suspicious, it was really a loss of their own benevolence and righteousness, and even violated the basic principles of life.
Fu Jian was hesitating, a fragrant wind accompanied by the fragrance of the girl floated by, Murong Lan walked past him, took another cake from the car, nibbled on it by himself, and said with a smile while eating: "Old man, I'm starving, my little woman eats a cake first, you have no opinion." ”
The old man also saw Fu Jian's hesitation just now, and when he was at a loss, Murong Lan broke the siege like this, laughed suddenly, nodded and said, "Girl, you eat slowly, I still have wine and meat here." ”
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the men behind him took off the cloth cover on the car one after another, the meat was fragrant, and more than a dozen roast chickens were also exposed, and as the sealing mud of several jars of wine was opened, the strong smell of mare's milk wine also floated out, this time in addition to Murong Lan, Zhang Oyster and others also stepped forward, drinking and eating meat, nibbling on cakes to satisfy hunger, and after a while, Fu Jian saw that no one had any poisoning, and he was relieved, and he also stepped forward to eat with a smile. For a while, this small wasteland, which was still tense and depressing, full of sadness, became full of laughter.
Murong Lan finished eating a chicken leg, threw away the bones in her hand, wiped her mouth, and walked to the side to a secluded angle, Mrs. Zhang's voice sounded softly behind her: "Miss Lan, why don't you suspect that this food is poisonous?" ”
Murong Lan turned around, in this place, more than thirty steps away from Fu Jian and them, and it was leeward, and the voice of her voice would not be heard by those men who were eating meat and drinking in the altar, and she inadvertently stroked her hair in front of her forehead: "Because there is no need." ”
