Chapter 512: Attack on the Border Army
-7- Medina frowns that all her secrets have been discovered by the "enemy", which causes her a great sense of crisis.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather, Su Kemu, would tell her own affairs to an irrelevant person, and this person was still a big Chu girl.
And, no matter how you listen to it, Lin Die's words carry the meaning of you eloping with a man, which makes her even more unacceptable.
The fact is, Martina did sneak out of the house at the beginning, in order to be with Xiao Chen, it did have the meaning of elopement.
Xiao Chen, the little marquis, smiled bitterly on the side, these two girls are not fuel-efficient lamps.
"I mean, you two, since you know each other so well, why don't you try to be friends?" The little marquis said in his heart, as soon as the two of them met, they were so hot - full of medicine, it was strange to be friends.
To his surprise, the two girls suddenly laughed at the same time, and then held out their hands at the same time: "Hello, I really want to be friends with you."
The little marquis began to scratch his head.The girl's heart is too hard to guess.
Immediately after, the relaxed atmosphere became tense, the two women clamped Xiao Chen on the left and the right, Lin Die took the first step to hug his right arm, and Medina immediately hugged his left arm unconvinced.
To be honest, being held by two beautiful girls, feeling the softness of the elasticity, is a great pleasure for any man.
But now the little marquis is sitting upright, because the big black back is about two meters high, seriously exceeding the height of the two women's mounts, so they are holding the lower arm, and his two hands have no place to put it.
Eat a beautiful woman's tofu in broad daylight.If there is only one person on the other side.I believe that the little marquis is still very happy.But now there are obviously two.Whoever eats or doesn't eat will inevitably have the suspicion of favoritism.Or the two eat together.
Come on, the young master didn't have the courage to cover the sky, and he began to recite the "Diamond Sutra" silently in his heart.
In this way, the three of them showed an ambiguous state of "meat sandwich buns" and appeared in front of Lin Hongyi and others.
Lin Hongyi also knew that Martina had affection for Xiao Chen, and when he saw this scene, he sighed helplessly several times one after another, but he had to put on a happy look when he saw an old acquaintance.
"Uncle Lin, I haven't seen you for a few months, you look good." The expression on the face of the little marquis was also obviously unnatural.
"Hehe, thanks to you, Uncle Lin can eat and sleep now." Lin Hongyi felt that he should talk about the right thing, the purpose was to resolve the embarrassment, pointed to the hundreds of carts behind him, and said, "These are all the grains we brought.
The little marquis said very generously: "Uncle Lin, you say how many catties you say, how many catties, I believe in your character, in addition, you can risk selling grain to Jincheng, so we are willing to pay a price 30% higher than the market price."
Lin Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Gao Sancheng, aren't you kidding?"
"Uncle Lin, have I ever joked with you? The little marquis said in his heart that the feeling of being a local tyrant is cool.
Lin Hongyi was so excited. Originally, the profit of this batch of grain was not low, and now he can earn another thirty percent of the money for nothing.
Lin Die also knew what the extra thirty percent represented, and he didn't forget to ask his father for credit: "I'll just say, it's profitable to come to the grassland to do business, and people here are stupid and have a lot of money."
Medina was immediately unhappy: "Profiteers."
Of course, the little marquis will not give them another chance to quarrel, and he said to Lin Hongyi with a smile: "Since the business has been negotiated, Uncle Lin quickly ordered the caravan to set off.
"I'm relieved about that." Lin Hongyi waved his hand: "Guys, let's go."
The secret passage was wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to travel through it, and hundreds of carriages entered the city under the cover of night.
Looking at the mountains of grain, the people of Jincheng were boiling, and the city lord Wang Taiji announced in front of everyone that starting from this meal tonight, it would return to the pre-war quota level, and no one would go hungry again.
The carnival began in the city, and the city lord's mansion had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, inviting everyone from the Lin family's merchant group to sit down.
Xiao Chen sat on the main seat, and Medina and Lin Die sat on his left and right with a tacit understanding, just like two people who needed to swear sovereignty to everyone all the time.
The so-called person who has been sworn to sovereignty is, of course, the little marquis sitting in the middle.
The father and son of the Wang family praised them with a smile and a smile, and the two girls blushed slightly, but whenever there was such a compliment, they would accept it generously.
After three rounds of drinking, a spy came to report that there were many guests at the banquet, and I didn't know whether to speak or not.
"There's something, let's say, there's no outsider here." Wang Taiji said.
The spy bowed first, and then said, "Lord Qiqi, the villain has been in charge of monitoring the situation of the Great Chu border army outside, and I have found out that they are going to organize an actual combat exercise in the near future.
"Got it, go down and get a reward." Wang Xuanye waved it back.
"Thank you to the lord and the young lord."
Wang Xuanye turned his head to look at Xiao Chen: "Brother Xian, what do you say the purpose of the Chu people doing this?"
"Hehe, of course, for the Pantheon." The little marquis replied with a smile.
Wang Xuanye frowned: "Since it's aimed at the Pantheistic Sect, why don't you directly attack Heaven and Earth City and engage in some actual combat exercises?"
Xiao Chen put down his wine glass and said: "Actual combat exercises generally have two purposes: First, to test one's own combat effectiveness, to practice tactics and strategies, and to avoid the haste that occurs after a real fight; and second, to deter the opponent and show one's strength."
Wang Xuanye asked again: "Which of the two purposes of the Chu people is more important?"
"The second point, of course." Without hesitation, he replied: "Last time there was a big battle between the Chu army and Cheng Da, 30,000 elites carried out a sneak attack, and they didn't take advantage of the 20,000 enemy troops.
It's not that the Chu people don't want to take revenge, but they are afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Pantheistic army.
But if you don't attack, you are afraid that the Pantheistic Sect will gain an inch, and you will not be able to explain to the majority of the people, so at this time, actual combat exercises have become the best choice.
On the one hand, tens of thousands of people are engaged in large-scale exercises on the grasslands, which will deter the Pantheistic Cult and make them dare not act rashly, and on the other hand, it will block the mouths of the people, so that no one will accuse the court of being weak and incompetent.
Wang Xuanye heard the mystery in his words, frowned, and said, "In this way, Emperor Great Chu doesn't want to really attack the Pantheon Sect."
"At least not for the time being." Xiao Hou Ye said with a smile: "Because of the Blood Shadow Hall incident in the Great Chu, there has been a miasma.
As the "culprit" of the Blood Shadow Hall incident, of course the little marquis will not give the Great Chu Emperor a chance to rectify the interior.
He continued: "It seems that we need to add some more oil and vinegar to them, and if the two sides can't fight, we won't have a chance to watch the show."
