Chapter 287: Wine and Meat in the Cold Winter
The soldier watched them rush towards him with rudimentary sticks, and there was no hint of fear in their eyes, as if they were a group of monkeys putting on a burlesque show.
Dressed in armor, they were confident that they could defeat the three of them alone, and soon the battle turned into a one-sided beating, and with their superior weapons and numbers, the group of wildlings was knocked to the ground and tied up with ropes in less than five minutes.
For a moment, the howls of curses and miserable cries resounded throughout the valley.
Not long after, a soldier came to report: "General, the number of people has been counted, there are thirty-six men, twenty-eight women, ten cubs, a total of seventy-four."
After listening to the number of people reported, Shi Yue nodded with satisfaction, it can be said that he has won a good fortune by arresting so many people at one time, and he thinks that this time he will definitely make Zhao Jian bloody again.
Shi Yue rubbed his frozen and somewhat stiff hands, looked at the gloomy sky, and said: "Take care of them, we will spend the night here tonight, dog's day, after walking in the wild for so long to have a place to rest, go and bring over a few jars of good wine, so that the brothers can warm their bodies." ”
The soldier's face showed joy when he heard this, and on this cold day, drinking a sip of spirits can simply cool the sky, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly beckoned his companions to carry the wine and meat on the deer cart.
At night, the cold wind howled outside the cave, but inside the cave was bustling with activity, the soldiers were eating hot food and drinking wine, and the savages who watched it swallowed their saliva.
Such a luxurious meal, these people have never seen it, not only the fragrant food, but also the strange taste of the liquid that makes their mouths water, and they want to pounce on it and take a sip.
Shi Yue saw a white child stretching his neck and looking at him, the corners of his mouth curled and said to a soldier: "Go, give them something to eat, these guys can't be wasted in vain, and leave the matter of establishing a stronghold here to them in the future!" ”
When the soldier heard this, he glanced at the wild men without cutting down, got up impatiently, called a few people, and brought some food to them.
With food, the group didn't care about their hands being tied behind their backs, so they threw themselves on the ground, picked up the food from the bowl and began to devour it.
"A group of barbarians, delay me from drinking and eating meat." The soldier looked at the group of ordinary starving savages, his eyes were full of disgust, and he cursed and muttered a few words, and then he couldn't wait to return to the campfire, eat and drink.
Early in the morning, after the soldiers woke up from their sleep, Shi Yue urged the soldiers to pack up their things and continue to search for the wild people around them.
Last night's strong wind had covered all the footprints on the snow, making it much more difficult for them to find humans, and now they were walking around completely by luck.
After walking for three days in a row, the group found nothing.
Looking at the vast forest sea snow field, Shi Yue knew that it was not a way to go on like this, such a cold weather, for a long time, the soldiers could not bear it at all.
For the sake of safety, Shi Yue decided to temporarily abandon the search and arrest work and return to the meeting place with everyone.
When Shi Yue's group of people returned, seeing that Zhao Jian and the others had also returned, and it seemed that his harvest was not small, Shi Yue suddenly felt very unhappy.
When he saw Zhao Jian grinning and walking towards him, he couldn't wait to punch him in the face.
Zhao Jian glanced at the wild man tied up behind him, and was overjoyed, but his face did not show any emotion, and said complimentally: "General Shi, you came back late enough, how about it?" The harvest is okay! ”
"Heh, it's okay, I don't know how General Zhao has gained!" Shi Yuepi said with a smile.
"I'm unlucky, I only caught more than a hundred savages on a trip, I definitely can't compare to General Shi, it seems that this time brother, I will spend all my copper coins." Zhao Jian said with a smile.
The corners of Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and she snorted coldly and said: "General Zhao's good luck, Shi only captured more than seventy people, this time you won, go back to Yancheng, take your soldiers with you, be careful not to break your stomach." ”
"Yo! Did General Shi arrest more than 70 people? It seems that I am really lucky this time, when I return to Yancheng, I will take my brothers and wait for General Shi's wine and meat. Zhao Jian laughed.
Looking at Zhao Jian's incomparably stunned expression, Shi Yue snorted coldly and walked into this humble stronghold with his subordinates.
After leaving for nearly ten days, some houses have been built in this place, I don't know which soldier had a whim, the houses here were not built with wood, but directly dug a pit in the ground, and the top of the pit was covered with wood, such houses were basically similar to small caves, and a bonfire was lit outside the entrance of the cave, which was very warm.
Shi Yue asked these savages to be imprisoned, and although Zhao Jian's matter made him very unhappy, he didn't take it to heart.
Although he doesn't have much, he still has a considerable amount of wealth after accumulating it for such a long time, and taking out some of it will not hurt his muscles and bones.
Sitting by the fire, Shi Yue asked you to bring a piece of animal skin, took out a piece of charcoal from the fire, and wrote seriously: "Minister! Shi Yue, meet Your Majesty, we have arrived in the north, it is cold here, we have built shelters, captured some wild people, supplies are insufficient, ask for some more supplies. ”
After writing it, Shi Yue held it up and looked at it, and was very satisfied with his crooked handwriting, so he called a few cavalrymen and asked them to send the document to Yancheng immediately.
Zhao Jian saw the soldiers rushing out, came to Shi Yue, and said with a smile: "General Shi told Your Majesty about the situation here, you are the only one here who can write, which is really enviable." ”
Shi Yue glanced at Zhao Jian and said, "Your Majesty has asked all officials to learn literacy as much as possible, who is to blame if you don't learn?" ”
"Hey, it's okay to learn one or two of those words, put them together, I look at it and have a big head, where to learn it, General Shi is much better than me in this regard." Zhao Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Shi Yue snorted coldly, closed her eyes and recuperated, looking unwilling to talk to her more.
Seeing this, Zhao Jian smiled and said: "General Shi, you and I are both officials of Great Xia, with the same position, now staying in this place, we should help each other, there is a good jar of wine, let's have a few glasses." ”
Shi Yue smelled the aroma of the wine, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, "Erguotou, you actually have such good wine." ”
"Hehe, I can't think of it, this is what I asked for from General Lin Jianya, this is good wine, and Your Majesty doesn't have much of it." Zhao Jian said and smelled the wine, looking intoxicated.
"It's almost full." Shi Yue swallowed her saliva and said excitedly.
