Chapter 366: White Silk
There was a thud in the not-so-dense woods, and a large tree, which was considered thick, fell to the ground crookedly.
Boro waved the chime in his hand and cut the trunk into several sections.
"I don't know what happened to them. "Boro piled a few pieces of wood around the flint. It had been two days since he left the village, and when he left, Boro had also seen the encircled army.
"If I hadn't left earlier, they might have found me. β
Boro flattened a section of the trunk and sat down, and a cloud of black smoke rose from the bottom of the fire in front of him
In a few moments, flames erupted.
"Hopefully they won't get hurt by me. Boro looked at the flames in front of him, raised his hand and picked up a piece of wood from the side and put it in his hand, "I can't help the situation at that time, once they really find out, it will be difficult to protect Ji Yuan, and they will also be framed as treason." β
Boro looked up at the bare sky overhead.
"I haven't eaten a bite since I left the village," Boro tossed the wood into the flames, "if only the earth could be eaten." β
Bouro laughed at his naΓ―ve thoughts and shook his head. Scoop the top layer of snow on top of your feet and fill it directly into your mouth
"I just don't know if I'll be recognized if I go into the city now. "Before he came to the woods, Boro spotted the tall wall in the distance.
"After all, this place is still within the realm of Xinghua. Boro felt that he was almost rested, so he stood up, "It's better to wait a little farther away, and you can't enter the city until you have to." β
Using a snowdrift to extinguish the flames in front of him, Boro retrieved the flint from a puddle of melted snow.
"It's strange to say, why can't I feel hot at all?" Boro also began to wonder because of Yoshimoto's words, "Since flint can easily ignite wood, the temperature should be very high, right......"
Boro pressed the flint to his face, but it felt a little warm, but it wasn't as hot as Yoshimoto had said.
"Does it have something to do with me?" said Boro, looking down at his chest. Despite the barrier of clothes and flesh, he could see a white thread in a beating heart.
An inexplicable sound came from Boro's body that sounded like the screams of some ghostly beast, but it was nothing more than Boro's stomach.
"It seems that just eating snow won't help. There's no way to fill your stomach," Boro looked at the walled city in the distance, but shook his head and dismissed his mind.
"I'm so hungry," said Boro, walking far around the city to the east, "I had to endure it, hoping that a beast would come to the door by itself." β
The scene of roasting animal meat began to appear in Boro's mind, and saliva appeared in his mouth unconsciously.
"Beast, beast, get out. Boro kept muttering in his heart.
Xue Ren stretched out his body vigorously, holding a letter from the nearby Qingyuan City in his hand.
"Your Majesty, why don't you rest a little longer?" Shan Jiang turned and walked in from outside the palace, "It's still a moment before you told you to wake you up last night." β
"No way, since you're awake, there's no need to continue sleeping. Xue Ren shook the envelope in his hand, "What's more, next to the pillow of this king, there is still a group of powerful people who want to drag me into the abyss, staring at it." β
Xue Ren walked towards the Linghui Palace, "The hot sun has just pulled the anchor and has not yet set sail, how can I, as the helmsman, relax my vigilance at this time." There is an even greater sea ahead for me to conquer. β
Xiang dragged his forehead with his left and right hands, and in front of him was the drawing that Xue Ren handed him at that time. It's just that the various markings on the map have become much more detailed at this time.
Xue Ren approached Xiangzuo, and he could still hear a faint snoring coming from his nose.
Xue Ren made a silent gesture to General Shan, and looked around the map with light feet. The more I looked at him, the clearer the joy on his face became: "Good, good, good!"
Xue Ren couldn't help but say three good words in a row: "I didn't expect Xiang Xiang to even plan the future maintenance and guarding of the passage." β
But the next moment, I remembered that I was still resting, so I immediately suppressed my emotions.
A copywriter walked in from outside the Linghui Palace, yawning all the way, but his eyes were very dry.
"Alas, it's almost over after two days of busy work. The man was just talking to himself outside, and he didn't notice the people inside.
"Anyone? I thought I was the first to arrive today............ The man stared blankly at the people standing in front of him, "Your Majesty?"
Xue Ren frowned, glared at him, and Shan Jiang came directly to the man, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Let's all quit first, and let Xiangzo have a good rest. β
Shan pushed the man outside the Linghui Hall before letting go of him.
When the man saw Xue Ren come out, he knelt directly on the ground, "The villain doesn't know that His Majesty is here." β
"Raise your head," Xue Ren commanded him
"Yes" The man's body trembled slightly, he was originally a retainer of the Zhao family, and he naturally saw the rebellion that night, but he was timid and had no ability to fight, so he was spared.
Xue Ren saw his haggard face, his eyes were full of gloom, and it seemed that he should have stayed up late.
"Get Up"
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty. β
"I ask you, you haven't had a break in a few days?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the villain took a nap last night. But Lord Xiangzuo hasn't closed his eyes for three days, and the minister is really worried that Lord Xiangzuo's body will not be able to support it first. β
Xue Ren nodded in agreement, and at this time, several more civilian officials were rushing over. "This king knows that you have all worked hard, just for my boring plan alone. β
"No, it won't. Zhao Yu shook his head again and again, "Although this project will consume a considerable part of domestic resources, in the long run, once these passages are completed, it will have immeasurable benefits for the development of Yanyang." β
"It's true, but I don't know how much effort it will take to really build it. The plan alone will make so many people work day and night," Xue Ren walked up to Zhao Yu and patted him on the shoulder, "This king would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the people of the country. Your efforts will be rewarded."
Zhao Yu's head fell blank for a while, and tears poured out from the corners of his eyes, which were already dry.
Xue Ren looked at Zhao Yutong's red eyes, turned his head and instructed General Shan: "Go to the Peony Pavilion and let Xiaolan prepare a table of sumptuous food." The national cause has not been completed, and the future sun will depend on you to help me support it, but I must not fall!"
"Your Majesty," Xiang Xiang walked out of the main hall, "Why are you here?"
"I was going to discuss something with you, but now it seems that you should rest first. Xue Ren said goodbye to this place for the time being, and Shan will leave after him.
"What's going on?" Xiangzuo slept for a while, only to wake up to find that no one had arrived yet, "There is still the last part of the plan left, everyone has to work hard......"
