Chapter 401: Grain
Adawil bowed his head, not daring to disrespect the black-clothed young man in front of him, now that this person was the lifesaver of their clan, how could he dare to question what he said?
"My lord, you misunderstood, how dare the little one question what you said, it's just that the other party is the undefeated god of war, the little one... The little ones really didn't have the confidence to win them. ”
Adavil said in a jerky Chu language, and every word was weighed for a few points before he dared to say it.
They were not on the border with the Chu State, and if it weren't for the black-robed young man in front of them, the people of their Tuwu clan would not have migrated to the border between the Yan State and the Chu State, so that now they are living in fear, for fear of angering the two countries of Chu and Yan.
"Don't forget, I'm a god."
The black-robed young man said disapprerovingly, this disdainful appearance made Adawil believe it.
He did believe that there was God in front of him, sent by God to save them, and if it weren't for the black-robed boys, they would have starved to death on the land before.
"Yes, little offense."
Adavil bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and the silver wolf beside the black-robed young man slowly returned to its original position and lay beside him obediently.
The black-robed young man stretched out his hand and stroked the wolf's fur.
The wolf closed its eyes and wagged its tail as if in enjoyment.
"In the battle a few days ago, Xiao Yongde lost nearly one-third of his troops, and now Xiao Yongde should only have about 2,000 troops in his hands, even if he is the god of war, but he has no power to return to the sky, I accept his life."
Blocked by the black mask, Adavil couldn't see the face of the young man in front of him clearly, but he could feel that the young man seemed to be laughing, but it was a little creepy, which made him shiver.
He has put the future of the Tsuchiya clan on the black-robed boy.
The young man said that if he could definitely win the head of the undefeated god of war in this battle, and he could also strengthen the reputation of the Tuwu clan in one fell swoop, without Xiao Yongde guarding the Chu State, then the Chu State would be their prey, and it was precisely because of this that he was obedient to the person in front of him.
Hearing the words of the black-robed young man, Adavil was moved.
They have been drifting and relocating for a long time, and it is time to have a capital of their own and establish themselves as kings.
"Yes! The little one will definitely take Xiao Yongde's head and give it to the adults! ”
Adavil hurriedly said, and the sneering voice of the black-robed young man came from under the mask.
He knew what Adawil was thinking in his heart, and he didn't want to care about that, there was only one thing he wanted from beginning to end, and that was Xiao Yongde's life.
Eyes, squinting.
There was a cold glow, as if he hated something.
"One more thing... My lord, the wolves you summoned last time have not eaten much in the past few days, do you see if they are ......?"
Adavil hesitated, this was also one of the reasons why he didn't dare to disobey the black-robed young man, this young man had the lives of tens of thousands of them in his hands, and all the food they ate was attracted by the black-robed young man in front of him.
Like a worm, it can only cling to him, and if it leaves him, it will only starve to death.
They don't have the currency of Chu Yan Kingdom, and the second is that there are more than 10,000 people here, and if they enter the city, it will only arouse suspicion.
"That's a few hundred wolves, and it's only been a few days!"
The black-robed young man said angrily, as if he was shocked in his eyes.
"Don't be angry, you know that those are all warriors of my clan, and they eat naturally... Naturally more. ”
Sensing the anger of the black-robed young man, Adavil explained with a smile.
The young little hands clenched together, holding back the anger.
"I'll take some people with me into the woods later."
Hearing this, Adavil grinned happily, and became a little more enthusiastic about the black-robed young man.
"When the soldiers are full of food and drink, they will send people to ambush on the road tomorrow, and as long as Xiao Yongde and others appear, they will be surrounded and suppressed!"
The black-robed young man said coldly, he had been to meet Xiao Yongde before, they were taking a small road, since the small road was a little closer than the normal distance, and their food was not much, it was the best time to take them down when they arrived in the border territory!
"Yes!"
Adavil grinned, and was extremely obedient to what the black-robed boy said.
……
"General, according to our route, we can go to the frontier tomorrow, but do we need to contact the local officials to prepare food first?"
Xiao Yongjue saw Xiao Yongde's sad face and guessed that he was probably worried about food.
They have only eaten one meal these days, and there is still more water and less rice, not to mention those soldiers, even he is so hungry that he has lost a little weight.
Xiao Yongde's face was haggard, and a lot of silver threads crawled out of his temples.
"No, no, you can't alarm Lord Li and them."
After thinking about it, Xiao Yongde finally rejected Xiao Yongjue's proposal.
"Why, if we don't contact Li Zhenshou, more than 2,000 of our soldiers will starve to death."
Xiao Yongjue asked excitedly, the food they have left is only enough to support them until tomorrow just to reach the border realm, how to fight with the Tuwu people with such a scrawny body? I'm afraid that in the end, it will only fall into the other party's plate.
Xiao Yongde frowned, not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.
"Li Zhenshou has been demoted to a frontier magistrate since three years ago because the treasury was stolen and provoked the anger of the emperor Long Yan, but I forgot that this matter was my case, Li Zhenshou is narrow-minded, how can he help us?"
Xiao Yongde sighed heavily, and Xiao Yongjue remembered what happened three years ago.
The treasury was stolen, and Emperor Chu ordered Xiao Yongde to investigate the matter thoroughly, but it turned out that Li Zhenshou was on his head, and Emperor Chu wanted to behead him to show the public, or did his father intercede in person to avoid the death penalty, but how could the matter of self-theft be tolerated? In the end, the Chu Emperor demoted Li Zhenshou to a magistrate and guarded the poor and remote land of the frontier.
At that time, Li Zhenshou went to Xiao's house once and gave Xiao Yongde a gift, hoping that he could cover up the matter, but he didn't expect Xiao Yongde to be as incorruptible as rumored outside.
"Li Zhenshou saved that life by your father, if you don't look at the monk's face, you should also look at the Buddha's face, how can more than 2,000 lives be child's play?"
Xiao Yongjue said indignantly, if Li Zhen was not allowed to guard the food, he estimated that they would not live for three days.
"Jue'er, you are still young and don't understand the way of officialdom, more than 2,000 lives? For some people, it's not worth mentioning at all. ”
Xiao Yongde shook his head, these soldiers were old, weak, sick and crippled, and Emperor Chu didn't think about asking them to go back alive when he sent them out this time.
He should have understood this clearly.
"This ......"
Xiao Yongjue was speechless, he thought that Xiao Yongde was talking about Li Zhenshou, but he never thought that Xiao Yongde was referring to Emperor Chu.
"Let the soldiers stay up a little longer, let me think of a way to deal with the food."
Xiao Yongde glanced at the soldiers behind him, all of them were yellow and thin, and their lips were dry and blank.
Coupled with this cold world, it is remarkable that it has been able to survive until now.
Seeing Xiao Yongde's melancholy face, Xiao Yongjue didn't say much else.
He was still worried in his heart, could these old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers really fight with the people of the Tuya tribe?
……
Inside the Shaw Mansion
Xiao Changge looked at the sunspots on the chessboard, it was the first time she was forced to have no way out.
People are like chess pieces, and chess pieces are like people, it is enough to see that Chu Yu's city is unfathomable, and she has even been calculating her from the first glance she played.
"The prince played a good hand of chess, and Changge admires it."
Xiao Changge praised from the bottom of his heart, but Chu Yu was not polite to her, and snorted coldly but with a happy face.
"If I can hear these words from your mouth, I'm afraid it's worth dying."
Chu Yu said slowly, his voice was warm and pleasant, and his smile made people even more unable to take their eyes off.
Xiao Changge looked at Chu Yu's incredibly beautiful face and sighed in his heart.
I'm afraid that he was born with the wrong gender, otherwise how could this person be a country? I'm afraid it's a disaster for the country.
"If the prince is dead, Changge will have no backer."
One by one, he picked up the jade bowl, and Xiao Changge's words made Chu Yu wake up.
He had forgotten that they were just a partnership.
"Miss, everything is ready, and the groom is waiting outside."
Zhu Er saw the scene of the two playing chess, and said cautiously.
Xiao Changge flicked his sleeves and got up from the chair.
"Okay, Lord Wang, please."
Xiao Changge got out of the way, but let Chu Yu go ahead first.
"This prince's wedding, I don't know what gift Ge'er has prepared?"
Chu Yu asked curiously, he wanted to know what kind of gift a person like Xiao Changge could give to the crown prince.
First, Xiao Changge, as his unfinished princess, should go to the prince's wedding banquet, and second, Yan Ruolin is her cousin, so she should go.
"I can't take the long song that is too precious, as for what to give... The secret will be known to the prince at that time. ”
Xiao Changge shrugged his shoulders and said cheekily.
This appearance reminded Chu Yu of a sentence, there is no one to ask for money......
How can any young lady be so cheeky as her? And he is not afraid to say this in the slightest.
Some people are fat people with swollen faces, but Xiao Changge is different, even if she swells her face, she doesn't want to be fat.
Money can only go into her pocket, think out of her pocket... No way!
"Haha, please song."
Chu Yu laughed heartily and made a gesture of invitation, but Xiao Changge was not polite to him.
Moreover, this is the Xiao Mansion, she is the master, even if she walks in front, there is nothing wrong with it.
That's right, today is the day when the prince and Yan Ruolin get married, and the two are about to get married only three days after the prince's banquet, which shows how anxious the queen is, but this is also as she wishes.
Yan Ruolin and Chu Yan, sooner or later she will drag the two of them to hell and accompany her child who died in the womb!
Xiao Changge clenched his hands, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, it entered Chu Yu's eyes.
For Chu Yan, what kind of feelings does Xiao Changge have?
Now that Xiao Changge has promised to marry him, he should be at ease with her, but he can't rest assured in his heart.
What he was worried about was not that Xiao Changge would rebel, but that she would be blinded by hatred and desperate.
"Congratulations to Miss Wangye."
Zhu Er saluted behind him, shouting in his mouth, deliberately shouting to the people around him.
Now that the young lady of her family is the future fourth princess, the people in this mansion should also know each other.
Seeing that Xiao Changge and Chu Yu's figures were getting farther and farther away, Zhu Er got up, and when she turned her head, she saw the red sleeves hiding on the side and only showing her head.
"Sister Redsleeves, are you playing hide and seek?"
Zhu Er asked jokingly with her mouth covered, and the red sleeves sighed and stood up straight as if she was frightened.
