Chapter 180: The Man Who Came to Pick Up the Grain
Deputy Lieutenant Zhou looked at the woman in front of him and didn't know how to refute for a while. His subordinates and grain transporters around him looked at him with burning eyes, expecting him to give an answer.
Then go for it!
This woman dared to go, and he could go.
After a noisy night, as soon as the sky was bright, Su Qiang and Deputy Lieutenant Zhou escorted the grain cart into the Que'er Valley. The surroundings were quiet, and occasionally startled birds rushed by.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhou was in front, Su Qiang was behind, and Cui Wanyan was still riding on a low horse, following in the middle unhurriedly.
Originally, Su Qiang's arrangement was to let Cui Wanyan stay in the forest and wait, but he said that if he didn't come, Miss Su's plan might not work. Su Qiang thought about it and allowed him to accompany him.
It takes about half an hour to get through the Bird Valley. The oxen and horse-drawn carts walked slowly, grinding deep ruts in the ground. Seeing that he was about to reach the valley mouth, flags were faintly visible fluttering in front of him, and then a group of about 100 people walked in from outside the valley mouth.
"Is it the grain and grass supervision of the grandfather of the country in front?" A black-faced man in a seven-rank lieutenant's uniform rode out on horseback and said loudly.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhou responded: "Who are you?" ”
A man beside the lieutenant hurriedly ran over and presented the talisman in his hand.
"We are under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the third battalion under the command of the Jingbei Third Road furnishing envoy was ordered to come to receive grain today." After he finished speaking, he took a step back and stood respectfully, waiting for Zhou Duwei to finish checking the talisman.
Fu Jie is no problem, Deputy Lieutenant Zhou handed Fu Jie back to him, nodded, but said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you would send it to Jingbeipo?" How did you get here? ”
"That's right," said the lieutenant in a loud voice, "We came a day early, and knowing that there was a lot of grain and grass this time, I thought that if we received it here, and then diverted to the north, we could also send it a little earlier." The war in the north is scorching, and it can be delivered one day early, and the morale of the soldiers is also high. ”
That's the truth.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhou waved his hand, and seeing that the other party was already coming to carry the grain and grass on their carriage, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." ”
Before the captain heard what Captain Zhou said, Su Qiang behind him had already hurried over and said loudly: "May I ask the captain, which hand do you use to command the furnishings?" ”
What do you mean?
Don't believe who they are?
Deputy Lieutenant Zhou looked confused.
He asked the other party to wait because the grain and grass they pulled were all sand and soil packed overnight, for fear that someone would really rob the grain. And now Su Qiang opened her mouth, is the other party still not credible?
The lieutenant's expression also changed.
Sure enough, in line with the intelligence, the Auxiliary State Duke asked a woman to supervise the delivery of grain. And this woman, to the point, asked where he didn't know.
"This girl," the lieutenant thought for a moment, "although we are subordinates of Commander Chen, we have no chance to have a meal with him, so we don't know which hand the commander is used to." ”
The air was quiet, and for a moment Deputy Lieutenant Zhou also remembered something, and his face was as white as paper.
In the silence, a slightly tender voice shouted, "Crossbowman! ”
With this command, the oilcloth on the oxen and horse-drawn carts was lifted, and the grain delivery soldiers, who originally looked honest, pulled out their bows and crossbows, and raised them flatly, and the bows and arrows were aimed at the team that came to receive the grain.
It was Cui Wanyan, who stared at the captain with a pair of eyes, and said loudly: "Listen to my father, the furnishing commander never sets up a camp, and he eats with the soldiers. Don't say that you are a seven-rank captain, even if you are an ordinary soldier, you should know which hand he uses to eat. ”
There was a commotion in the opposite team.
The lieutenant pulled the tight short clothes on his body, his face was red, showing an arrogant smile, and scolded: "Damn! It's been recognized! ”
