Chapter 166: Turning the Tiger Out of the Mountain
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang." After Chu Lingyi left, Liuyun secretly followed behind, until his tail was thrown off by Chu Lingyi, and Liuyun came forward to join Chu Lingyi.
"Here it is." Chu Lingyi stood on the roof and looked down at Liuyun.
"Let the people behind follow closely, and be left behind for a while." Mu Li led people all the way, and in order to shorten the time, he never rested along the way. Walking on two legs, some people were visibly exhausted.
Qing Kite felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and before he arrived in Gu Village for a while, everyone was already tired. "Princess, let's rest for a while, drink some water, and eat some dry food."
"I'm not hungry or thirsty." Thinking that Chu Lingyi was in danger, Mu Li couldn't take care of himself. I just feel that I am full of power now, and there is nowhere to vent, and sure enough, the power of love is great.
There are people who can't support it, and they can only move forward by relying on people's support. You must know that Mu Li is in a carriage, and this person walks behind, naturally he is not as fast as a horse, and his strength is consumed quickly, and he can't bear it without energy replenishment.
"Then let's rest for a while." Mu Li didn't want to bring a group of waste people to cause trouble for Chu Lingyi, mainly because he was too urgent and forgot that they were people, not robots.
The moonlight in this suburb is very charming, much brighter than that in the capital, but Mu Li is not in the mood to appreciate it, she just wants to know if Chu Lingyi is okay.
"Well, it's all here, right?" Chu Lingyi was very relieved to see that the people had assembled outside the city long ago. Thinking of the first conversation with them during the day, I really didn't expect to be so cooperative.
"According to your request, we have already brought all the board cars in the village, and all of them are here." Behind the people are more than a dozen dilapidated carts, although they are a little dilapidated, but they do not affect their use.
Although there are not many people, they can pull a lot of imperial grain to ensure that the people have no problem for a week. The main thing now is to distract them, and then let the people quickly move the food away.
Chu Lingyi thought about it, such a dangerous thing should be done by himself. "I'll go and lure them away, you will take people to transport the grain away as soon as possible, how much can be pulled, don't be greedy to attract attention."
"No, I'd better go." Liuyun, as the guard of the person who protects Chu Lingyi, naturally has to take the lead in everything, how can he let the prince be a shield.
"There's no time to dwell on this at this time, I'll go first." There were only a few soldiers, Chu Lingyi didn't pay attention to them at all, as long as he lured them away.
Chu Lingyi threw a stone at the guards who were guarding, and then immediately hid.
"Who, who's there? Why don't you come out soon? The guard looked across the side, and there was no one, but the stone would never fall from the sky. I see you, don't hurry up and come out for me. ”
Chu Lingyi squatted down, slowly moved in another direction, and then threw a stone at the guard. The guards immediately ran over, but Chu Lingyi was already gone.
"What's going on, surprised?"
"Someone threw a stone at me."
I searched and searched, but I couldn't find where anyone was.
"You're confused, who will come here this big night, is it possible that you don't want to live?" The overseer was busy directing the delivery of food, but he didn't know what the guards were doing, which affected his progress.
"Ah, who threw the stone." A large bag was smashed out of the overseer's head.
I was panicked for a while, and hurriedly stopped what I was doing, looking around for the person who threw the stone. Chu Lingyi hurriedly hid, and Liuyun saw that the opportunity was coming, and rushed to the granary with the people.
"All light, try not to make a sound, three bags in one car." In order to escape quickly, Chu Lingyi asked Liuyun to watch the people not be greedy.
"You said that there is so much food here, we only take this, isn't it enough, anyway, Li Wu won't give it to us, why not take more at a time."
"That's right, it is a capital crime to secretly store the emperor's grain, why should our grain be kept by this corrupt official."
When the hungry people saw so much food, their eyes turned red. Since it is here to transport grain, three bags are also transported, and five bags are also transported, why not transport more, who knows that next time there will be a chance for wood to smuggle grain.
"No, you take it and leave, and when they come back, there will be nothing left." Liuyun was watching to see if Li Wu's people would come back, while the greed of the other people made Liuyun's head bigger.
The people were able to promise Chu Lingyi at the beginning, not because there was food, but now that they see so much food, what if they take a little more.
"Okay, it's all right, let's go." Chu Lingyi had already lured people away, but it wouldn't be long before they would find out that they had been fooled. "What are you doing here, if you don't hurry up, it's hard to get to your death."
Chu Lingyi saw that a few people didn't listen to him, so he took a few more bags. You must know that this is a suburb, the road is not easy to walk, if you take too much, it will increase the weight of the plank bed, it is easy to overturn, not to mention, and it will delay time.
"Didn't we come to transport food in the first place, why should we give the food we transported to others? If you want to give to others, why can't you take more for yourself? "The hungry people can't blame them for this thought, they really don't want to starve.
"Well, then you guys hurry up." Chu Lingyi knew that they wouldn't listen to what they said, and if they quarreled with them, they would attract people over.
"Where did the people go?"
"yes, I saw it here. It's not good, it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and we're afraid it's a trick. "The overseer thinks someone must be coming for the imperial grain.
"Quick, go that way, speed." Chu Lingyi and the others had already withdrawn quickly.
"It's over, it's over." As the supervisor expected, a lot of grain was transported away, and now County Magistrate Li is afraid that he will really have to cut himself. "It's all your fault, I have to find someone."
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about, I'm not also for the safety of the emperor's food, but you have to follow, and it depends on my head. ”
The overseer and the guard quarreled, both trying to put the blame for the loss of food on each other's heads. But now is not the time to quarrel, but to let County Magistrate Li take it out.
Fearing that they would lose it again, they had to transport it back.
"What, someone came to steal the imperial grain?" County Magistrate Li's eyes widened, this is his territory, who dares to touch his imperial grain, those people will definitely not, then there is only Chu Lingyi. But he's just a guard, where can he have such a great ability.
At this time, the person who was following Chu Lingyi came back, "Master, it's not good, I lost the person." I obviously ......"
A slap landed on the man's face, and his face turned red instantly, and five finger prints slowly appeared. The room fell silent as the slap fell. The man clutched his face tightly, not daring to say anything.
