Chapter 166: Hunger

Chapter 166: Stockpiling Grain

The envoy sent by the Lingguo to negotiate peace was Chu Qin, and before leaving, Shangguan He hugged Chu Qin and did not let go, and asked worriedly: "Will it be fine?" Gu Du won't kill you, right? ”

Chu Qin smiled, stroked her face and said, "Don't worry, if he wants to kill me, he will do it in Tiger Roaring Mountain." ”

Shangguan He shook his head and said, "This time is different, you are going to negotiate peace, it is to break his idea of avenging Jin Lan, this time it is different!" ”

Chu Qin said: "You underestimate Gu Du too much, if he obstructs the matter of peace, he will be punished by the world, if he is such a reckless puppet, how can he force the emperor to negotiate peace?" ”

Shangguan He looked into his eyes and asked, "Really?" ”

Chu Qin replied with a smile: "Really, don't worry." ”

Then he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Even if the peace negotiation can't last long, the emperor is just temporarily holding back, wanting to restore the national strength as soon as possible, and fighting each other for three hundred years, there has never been a matter of peace, the emperor is forcing Zeguo to agree, in order to withdraw Gu Dutun's troops in the territory of Lingguo, in fact, this is also a heart-wrenching strategy, Zeguo knows that there is fraud, and he must also agree to negotiate peace, so Gu Du must be like a hanging mirror, and he will never act rashly." ”

Shangguan He flattened his mouth and said, "Why do you have to let you go, are all people dead?" ”

Chu Qin smiled and replied softly: "The Spirit Emperor hopes that Gu Du will be willful and kill me secretly, I am Gu Du's soul master, and I have the grace of nurturing him, if Gu Du kills me in this trip, he will not only be guilty of the world, but also bear the name of ingratitude, so he will become an unkind and unrighteous villain, although the world is big, there is no place for him to stand." ”

Shangguan He's eyes widened, gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "How can he be so vicious? ”

Chu Qin kissed her lightly on the lips, and said in her ear: "So you should know, why I never said that I would persuade Gu Duhe Lixia to come back." ”

Shangguan He was so angry that she burst into tears, Chu Qin stroked her face and said, "It's good that you know in your heart, don't make a noise." ”

Shangguan He said softly: "Let's do the opposite, anyway, after the peace is discussed, trade will be switched on, let's flee to Zeguo with our family, even if we are no longer officials, just be a flat-headed commoner." ”

Chu Qin shook his head and said softly: "Don't be childish, you and I are very involved, don't talk nonsense, stay at home, don't make trouble for me, do you hear?" ”

"Hmm." Shangguan He flattened his mouth and nodded in agreement.

The peace negotiation was very smooth, the two countries took the boundary river as the national boundary, and the Lingguo took the initiative to return Lancheng and Xiacheng, and Zeguo sent 10,000 soldiers to guard the two cities.

After the handover, Gu Du left Feng Jiu and the others in Zeguo, handed them over to Li Xia to personally train, and then took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Kangzhan Mountain, informed Dongfang Xinghao and his wife about the peace, and told him about his plan to starve food, and his wife smiled and said: "That's good, let's stay at home for a few more days." ”

Gu Du said: "Mother, I still have to go to Tiger Roaring Mountain to withdraw my troops." ”

Madam sighed, hugged Dongfang Xia Lan and said, "Then stay for three days." ”

Gu Du said: "Mother, when I settle down the affairs, I will take Xia Lan back to live for a month." ”

Madame smiled and replied, "Okay." ”

Back at Tiger Roaring Mountain, Gu Du asked Dongfang Xia Lan and the disciples of Juelingmen to move to Suxian Mountain, and then went straight to Zhenbei Pass with Zeguo's soldiers.

After receiving the report, Wu Renxiong climbed to the top of the city and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Gu Du replied: "We have all agreed to make peace, my soldiers have to return to China, and let us go over the mountain?" ”

Wu Hito-woong said: "Put down the blade, pass the level empty-handed, and return the blade after exiting the level." ”

Gu Du ordered: "Put down the blade." ”

Wu Renxiong said: "You also put it down." ”

Gu Du replied: "I don't enter the customs, I go around the mountain." ”

Wu Renxiong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Gu Du replied: "What you mean, I mean." You're afraid that I'll rob the pass, and I'm afraid you'll arrest me. I'll leave first, I'll see you outside the gate in two days, if there is one less person in my soldiers, you just wait for the Spirit Emperor to surrender! ”

Wu Renxiong scolded: "Rabbit cub! I should have drunk you to death in the first place! ”

Let the soldiers withdraw to Zeguo, Gu Du went back to the mountain and went to the camp of Suxian Mountain.

This time, five camps were built in Suxian Mountain, supervised by Di Qiuhan and Duan Yuechan, according to the technique of Qimen, the method of Shengke rebuilt the mountains and forests, and it was difficult for people to get close, Gu Du couldn't find the way, and it took most of the day to be seen by the disciples who patrolled the mountain, and led back to the main village.

Each of the five villages has its name, the main village is called Yuansheng Village, which means that yin and yang hug each other, the place where vitality is born, and the remaining four villages are named after the four elephants, the south is the Vermilion Bird, the north is Xuanwu, the east is the dragon, and the west is the white tiger.

The mountains and forests between the five villages are transformed by the Bagua Array, the longitudinal and horizontal of Qianmo, the complexity is incomparable, and many tall and stout trees are transplanted, which can be seen from the inside, but can not see the inside from the outside.

After Gu Du made the arrangements, he took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Kanzhan Mountain as promised, so that their mother and daughter could be reunited for a month.

In the past month, the eldest brother Dongfang Wu looked for Gu Du to compete every day, except for the first time to look back on Du Du, he also turned his face, and he never won again.

The second brother Dongfang Wen is to find Gu Du to drink tea every afternoon and talk about scriptures, Gu Du is not annoying, but benefits a lot.

After dinner, I have to play chess with my father-in-law, Dongfang Xinghao, and before going to bed, I have to follow the stargazing, day after day.

All in all, this month, Gu Du can be called an intensive cultivation and a master of a hundred schools.

Calculating that it was time to harvest the summer grain, Gu Du took Dongfang Xia Lan back to Suxian Mountain, and scattered the disciples of Juelingmen, after the nearby counties collected the grain, part of it was in the village, and the other part was in the grain store of Lingyu County, and the grain collected in the distance was all in the nearby mountains and left people to guard it.

This time, the grain storage did not cause any turmoil, because with Gu Du's financial resources, it was not enough to stir up the storm, and besides, he could not spend all the silver at once, so not only would there be no way back, but it would also attract attention.

And Gu Du's grain store is more expensive than other people's houses, and other people's families sell 30 yuan a bucket, and he sells 31 yuan a bucket, so from the summer grain harvest to the autumn grain ripening, his grain store did not even sell a bucket of rice.

Gu Du sent people to collect grain again, everything is the same, as for the problem of silver, don't worry about it, the disciples of Jue Lingmen are all masters, although they can't assassinate the Spirit Emperor, but it's absolutely no problem to find silver, there is a huge spirit country, there are always those who are rich and unkind.

And Gu Du is also a good learner, and he doesn't do things at his own doorstep, he is hundreds of miles away.

Duan Yuechan came to Gu Du and said: "Uncle, we have also seen your way, this is not something that can be done in a moment, don't be idle here, take the little junior sister back to the mountain, take advantage of the past few years to be fine, you should cultivate, you should have children and children, and you will come back when there is something, you are idle here, we are still panicking." ”

Gu Du was right when he thought about it, so he led Dongfang Xia Lan back to the mountain and lived a life of seclusion.
