The War King's hand slowly grasped Mu Qing's wrist, as delicate as a woman's skin, and passed it to the War King with warm fingertips.

He lowered his voice, his gentle expression was full of hurt pain, he just looked at her affectionately, and warmth surged from his body, approaching Mu Qing little by little.

"It is the fourth brother's idea to burn the grain and grass in the northern country, once Liao Shengjun leaves the barracks, the fourth brother's secret guard will act, and the fourth sister-in-law has seen the direction of the sky, and there will be a southeast wind today. Only in this way can we get the northern country to retreat, even if it is only temporary, and it can save the people of Mexico from the suffering of war. ”

Mu Qing understands that the two countries are at war, each for its own master, not to mention that she is a Mexican in her bones, "The fourth brother and four sisters-in-law are very powerful, have you thought about it, my identity is gone, when I return to the capital, who cares, I will be a concubine for you." ”

"I'm talking nonsense again, you will always be a wife, and you are the only one in the king's backyard, and you can't tolerate others. You don't need to bother yourself with this. ”

Shangguan discussed the next plan with King Jin in the big tent, and in Shangguan's eyes, King Jin was a high-ranking prince with an irreplaceable aura.

At this moment, I deeply feel that although the King of Jin is a prince, he is at ease in martial arts strategy and leading troops to fight, such a talent has been buried in the past, and gold will shine, and it is precisely in this way that King Jin will become the best candidate for the next prince.

"As far as the prince sees, will the Northern Congress withdraw its troops?"

King Jin took a sip of tea and tapped his fingers on the table: "Liao Shengjun will not retreat easily, so we need to add another fire." ”

Shangguan's eyes lit up, he was worthy of being a ghost, talented and intelligent, he could think of such an idea, he called Li Dashan and whispered a few words.

Liao Shengjun was anxious, very nerve-wracking, the man let people beat him, the clear soup and little water food, the soldiers were hungry, but he had rice and meat here, and the only good things left were here.

The soldiers surrounded his camp to ask for an explanation, especially when they heard that because the grain and grass were burned, the northern country needed to order grain and grass, as the king of Jin said, the common people of Mexico suffered, and the northern country was not spared, the grain and grass were expropriated, and their relatives were going to starve, they fought for the country, shed blood and sacrificed, but could not give their families a guarantee of stability, which violated their original intention of enlisting in the army and defending the country.

"General, you have to think of a way, now everyone is making a fuss, and we can't stop you if you want to go back."

The battlefield disobeyed, and the first to be executed was the boss, Liao Shengjun suddenly thought of the town in the rear of the northern country: "Go to the town to find some food first." ”

"General, our military expenses are not enough, so many people, how much food do we have to buy, and when the order to retreat from above comes down, it will take about ten days." What they didn't know was that Liao Shengjun had not yet informed the Northern Imperial Court about the burning of grain and grass.

The moonlight is noble, illuminating the green tile wall skirt with layers of warmth, and when everything is quiet, a little movement around can be infinitely amplified.

In this small town in the north, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are signs of not closing their doors at night. A slightly noisy sound of footsteps flowed into the town under the cover of the sound of cicadas.

The people sent by Liao Shengjun did not buy grain, but came to steal it. This kind of behavior is very despicable, but for a villain like Liao Shengjun, it is very sparse and ordinary.

More than 100 people came, and the carts pulling grain stopped outside each house, and they all held incense in their hands, and they could not kill people and sell goods, so they could only use this dirty method to transport the grain away without knowing it.

Dressed in black, they walked in the night, silently going around the back walls of each house, solemn and gloomy, and climbed over the wall.

The sound of sticks beating, mixed with the howling of ghosts and wolves, kept coming, making this quiet night instantly agitated.

General Shangguan and King Jin stood at the highest point of the town, leaning down, the smile on the corner of their mouths getting bigger and bigger.

"It's still the prince's cleverness, tomorrow these people will be sent to the official mansion, Liao Shengjun wants to hide the burning of grain and grass, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." The humility that Shangguan said had already laughed in his bones.

Just after the third watch, Liao Shengjun was pulled up from the dream, and shouted angrily: "What kind of thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to spare General Ben's good dream." ”

The soldier guarding the door knelt on the ground and reported: "General, the mayor of the town took the people of the town and pressed a group of black-clothed people to the barracks, saying that it was your person and wanted to ask for an explanation, and this matter alarmed the prefect of Wacheng." ”

Liao Shengjun's confusion was swept away in an instant, and he shivered smartly, hurriedly dressed and got out of bed, grabbed the soldier's collar, and asked nervously: "The prefect of Wacheng is here in person?" ”

"Not really."

"A bunch of idiots, you can't do this at all, call the floating ice."

The floating ice didn't close its eyes all night, and none of the people sent out came back, which is obviously abnormal, let alone food.

At this moment, when he heard that the people in the town were in trouble, he rushed to the general's tent in a panic, and bumped into the people who came to him on the way, and before he could even reprimand him, he plunged headlong into the twilight.

Liao Shengjun saw that it was floating ice, and without saying a word, he went up and kicked it, "Let you do something, you can do it like this, you shouldn't be collaborating with the enemy and treason, towards Mexico." ”

Floating Ice didn't care about the pain, and knelt on the ground, just listening to the sound, the kneecaps were enough, "General, the last general is absolutely loyal to the northern country, and the family members are all from the north, how can they go to report to the Mexican country." ”

"Then you say, what now? It's like this outside, and someone has to go out to top it to make those people angry. Liao Shengjun's murderous eyes were bloodshot, glaring at him like a demon from hell.

It turned out that he was waiting for him here, floating ice scolded in his heart, Liao Shengjun, a bastard, has done many shady things for him before and after the saddle over the years, this is to unload the mill and kill the donkey, don't think. Euro eBook

"General, this matter is that the last general is not effective, and the general will cause a catastrophe to the general, and the last general is willing to go to the people in the town on behalf of the general to ask for guilt."

Liao Shengjun's face looked much better, he stretched out his hand to help up the floating ice, flicked the dust on his body, and his gentle expression was really chilling: "This is also a matter of no choice, don't worry, General Ben will keep you safe and sound, go." ”

Floating ice's eyes rolled wildly, his mouth was full of gratitude, he got out of the big tent, spit it out fiercely, called his cronies, gave a few words, and strode towards the black crowd outside the tent.

The sky is not yet bright, the rising sun has not replaced the crescent moon, the common people are excited, everyone you say a word, scolding, close to see clearly, they are holding hoes and flat poles in their hands, even women are holding kitchen knives, a desperate posture.

Floating ice thought about it, Liao Shengjun wanted to take away the rations that people relied on for survival, and anyone would rise up to resist, not to mention that the people of the northern country had been peaceful for several years, everyone lived in peace, and there were very few cases of chickens and dogs stealing, but the soldiers in the north went to steal the things of the common people, and they were bound to find a reasonable explanation.

"Listen to me." Floating Ice chose the highest place so that everyone could see him.

The soldiers surrounding the common people began to move, and when they looked closely, it was not difficult to find that although they were wearing the same military uniforms, they were a different group of people.

Floating Ice's henchmen nodded at him, and the rest of the people retreated far away, even if Liao Shengjun wanted to get close at this time, he had to go through Floating Ice's permission.

"Everyone's feelings, I can understand, this matter is indeed something we didn't do well, we shouldn't have moved our minds, the grain and grass in the army are very sufficient, there is no need to trouble everyone."

"Yesterday, there was a sudden fire that burned all the grain and grass, so many of our soldiers came to defend their homes and country, you can't watch them starve to death."

The more the mayor listened, the more angry he became, what kind of bullshit explanation is this, that is, they can't starve to death, so the lives of the common people are worthless, so they should starve to death.

He stood in front, pinched his waist, and shouted loudly: "Your mouth is full of dung, your grain and grass are burned, you should go to the court to ask for it, why do you want to take our people, or use this kind of disdainful behavior of chickens and dogs to steal, it is against the way of Confucius and Mencius." ”

Floating ice is a man with an oily tone and a thief's eyebrows, and after this look, he knows that this old man must be highly respected when he speaks in the town, and as long as he is provoked, things will be easy to handle in the future.

"What you old man said is too thin, we risk our lives to defend against foreign enemies, you should support it, even if the grain and grass of the imperial court are coming, it will take some days, do you just watch us all starve to death."

"If there are your relatives among our people, you can watch us all starve to death, and the army of Mexico will come over, and you will also be prisoners and slaves of the country, and when the time comes, your food will be from Mexico, and you can still stand here and discuss with General Ben what is the way of Confucius and Mencius."

The mouth of the floating ice is not a vegetarian, it is the master who talks about people and talks nonsense, and he can't deal with these honest croppers.

"You bullshit generals, you will step on our people to make a fortune, Princess Muqing of the Northern Kingdom, people live well, you actually dare to continue the war without telling the court, the heavenly fire that burned the grain yesterday is a punishment for you, and you dare to say here without shame, protect the family and defend the country, you are provoking trouble."

Floating ice heard that the meaning of the words was wrong, the matter in front of the two armies, there was no impermeable wall, and it was normal to spread it, but from yesterday to now, they did not send people to the town to purchase meat and vegetables, how could they say such a reasonable and well-founded thing.

As soon as the suspicion arose, he threw it aside, and the top priority was to let the prefect of Wacheng come over, so that Liao Shengjun's crime could be confirmed, so that he would not be wiped out by Liao Shengjun, and such a villain would not fulfill his promise, let alone keep him stable.

"There is nothing you can do about so many of you who have come to the barracks, so come and drive those people away and get our soldiers back."

The people in the town were anxious when they heard this, which was obviously to bully people with more than less. The mayor of the town poked his spear, "The old man wants to see who dares to take a step forward today, the old man once followed the first emperor, although he has been disarmed and returned to the field for many years, he can't tolerate such unreasonableness." ”

Floating ice smiled contemptuously, not to mention the first emperor, even the current emperor, they are all beyond the reach of the whip, and far water can't quench their thirst, not to mention that they will be outside, and it is the norm for military orders to be disobeyed.

When the two sides were facing each other, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near, and the floating ice was a military general.

If you want to talk about the officials on the side, Liao Shengjun also covers the sky with one hand, and he doesn't care, but the prefect of Wacheng has a great background, he is the emperor's younger brother, the identity of the prince, why did he become the prefect in Wacheng.

Just because his mother, the current concubine, likes Wacheng, and grew up here since he was a child, he originally regarded Wacheng as his fiefdom, entertained himself, and was an idle prince.

Over the years, the Wacheng area has been able to adjust the wind and rain smoothly, and he has not closed his door at night, he has made great contributions, this prince can't rub sand in his eyes, if Liao Shengjun is planted in his hands, it is not an exaggeration to correct the law on the spot.

According to this upright and upright character, as long as he sees Princess Mu Qing, the purpose of the northern army will be completely collapsed, in the final analysis, it is also the royal family's own housework, which is more important, the floating ice can't be controlled, as long as he can save his little life, thank God.

This prefect is the youngest in the family, so everyone in the court respectfully calls him the little prince. The mayor seems to have seen a savior, and he is about to bow down.

The little prince carp jumped off the horse and supported him with his hand, "Your old gift, this king can't afford it, you have been by the emperor's side for many years, and you have never been reprimanded, you are a wise and foolish person." ”

"Little prince, we are all ordinary people, if we are not forced to be helpless, how dare we dare to fight the law of the official family, we are really forced to be helpless, they want to snatch our food and starve us to death."

"How can it be?" This little prince looks like he is just in his early thirties, with fair skin, delicate face, and a little bookish, which can be seen from the action of getting off the horse just now, it is not difficult to see that he also has kung fu.

"The last general will give a gift to the little prince." The floating ice looks decent, where is the arrogant and arrogant appearance just now.

The mayor stretched out his hand and pointed at him tremblingly, as if he was angry: "It's him, who is polite and honest, and really wants us to give away the rations to them, the grain and grass in the military camp are less than the fire, and they can viciously steal our food, little prince, there are one and two, if you can't protect our food desperately, I, the mayor, might as well die clean." ”

The town elder was in tears, sad and bitter, which made the little prince a little moved, and his eyes looked at the floating ice like a sharp sword, and he hated to eat him alive.
