"Why doesn't the big brother drink it?" Huzi tasted it carefully as if he was holding some treasure, but saw that the eldest brother had been looking at the porridge in the bowl in a daze.

"Huzi, how can you drink so much chaff here, don't you raise your throat?" Xia Ye looked at Huzi and asked.

"No, I don't usually drink porridge at home." Huzi said that he seemed to miss his mother again, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the porridge in the bowl.

"Why haven't you ever drunk porridge?" Xia Ye looked at the young but sensible Huzi and asked, "Is your family very poor?" ”

"If you want to blame these things, blame the emperor of Jiang Country!" Huzi suddenly said something that surprised Natsuba.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of Jiang Guo asked us for so many public tributes every year, we would not be able to take it out at all, and at this time, the imperial court would loot the people's fat and ointment and then pay tribute to Jiang Guo."

Huzi took a sip of the porridge in the bowl and said with satisfaction: "In the past few years, there has been a drought in the country, and the crops have almost not been harvested, let alone taking out the excess tribute to Jiang Guo, we are almost unable to eat, so the six princes led the troops to fight and resist, but the last offender in the war is still us people, usually I am hungry and full, eat the last meal to find the next meal, my brother must be a child of a rich family, has not suffered hardship?" Huzi looked up and asked curiously.

Xia Ye didn't expect that Tuoba Shan's invasion of Jiang's border was because of hunger, and it turned out that Jiang's oppression of a large amount of tribute caused the country to resist.

"Huzi, who did you listen to?"

"These are all rumors from the city, haven't you heard of it?" Huzi's curious eyes blinked.

With the source, there is a breakthrough point, Chu Chengde must not have thought that the country of Yan originally sent troops to Jiang Guo because of this, Xia Ye looked at Huzi happily, touched Huzi's head and said, "Thank you, Huzi." ”

Seeing Huzi raise the bowl above his head and lick it cleanly, Xia Ye handed the porridge in his hand to Huzi: "Give it to you." ”

"This is my brother's, Huzi can't ask for it." Huzi looked at the porridge in Xia Ye's bowl and said.

"Take it, my brother is not hungry, whoever is hungry will eat!" Xia Ye handed the bowl to Huzi's hand.

Huzi looked at the porridge in the bowl and was moved to tears: "In this world, in addition to my father and mother, there are also the second aunts in the alley, and the eldest brother is the best for Huzi." ”

Listening to Huzi's scheming words in a childlike tone, Xia Ye sneered: "Eat quickly, go back to sleep after eating." Xia Ye looked at the hanging sky and said.

She had to find a way to convey what she knew to Chu Chengde, but how to convey it.......

Returning to the new military camp tent with Huzi, several people who were arrested together in the morning had already slept, Xia Ye and Huzi crept down, for fear of disturbing them, until Huzi's even breathing came, Xia Ye fell asleep, and after walking all night last night, Xia Ye's eyelids began to fight a little, forget it, raise your spirit and think of a way.

Xia Ye was sleeping soundly, and felt something sweep her face, she impatiently turned over and continued to sleep, but that thing kept chasing her face and harassing her, Xia Ye opened her eyes in a fit of anger and saw Chu Chengde wearing night clothes, holding Cordyceps in his hand and poking her face.

Xia Ye was so shocked that she almost didn't scream, but fortunately, Chu Chengde covered her mouth in time, Chu Chengde made a forbidden gesture, and Xia Ye nodded.

Xia Ye, who was loosened, got up quietly, and pushed Chu Chengde out of the camp tent to hide in a corner: "Why are you here?" Do you know how dangerous ...... are? ”

"Woo......."

Before Xia Ye finished speaking, Chu Chengde sealed his mouth with his mouth, and only let go of his hanging heart when he saw that she was fine.

Xia Ye pushed Chu Chengde away and said in a forced voice, "What are you doing?" "If it weren't for the cover of the moonlight, Xia Ye would probably have turned red like a monkey's ass.

"Do you know how worried I am about you, but you actually fell asleep without heart and lungs, this is your punishment!" Chu Chengde said in a low voice in Xia Ye's ear.

Xia Ye didn't expect Chu Chengde to come up and knock on the wall, his little heart was pounding, and he said shyly: "Isn't it okay for me?" How did you sneak into the barracks when it's so dangerous? ”

"You don't care how I sneaked in, come with me!" Chu Cheng took Xia Ye's hand, he wanted to take her back, and he didn't feel at ease if he left her here.

"Don't make a fuss! I managed to sneak in, and I wouldn't leave. Xia Ye shook off Chu Chengde and grabbed his hand: "And I finally know the purpose of sending troops to Jiang Guo, I was thinking about how to convey it to you, but now that you are here, I will tell you directly." ”

"Why?" Chu Chengde asked.

"Because of hunger! Because of the drought in the past two years, the Yan State could not bear the tribute of Jiang Guo, so Jiang Guo sent troops to resist. Xia Ye continued in a low voice: "And the military camp of the Dead Country is indeed very poor,"

"It's as simple as that?" Chu Chengde asked again.

"I know this reason may seem small, but you think it's normal for people to rebel when they're oppressed." Xia Ye analyzed it carefully, and she knew that Chu Chengde would not believe this reason.

"Okay, now that we know the motive for the country, can you go back with me?" Chu Chengde looked at Xia Ye and asked.

"No, I'm going to continue to be here with you." Natsuba refused.

"Do you know that I have been discussing with the generals today how to rescue you, if you don't come with me today, I will lead troops to attack the military camp tomorrow."

"You ......." Xia Ye looked at Chu Chengde speechlessly: "Don't make trouble, I'm safe now, you can rest assured, I must protect myself, you must not attack the military camp of the dead country, wait for my news, okay?" Xia Ye begged.

Chu Chengde just wanted to speak, when suddenly a tight gong and drum sounded, Xia Ye was startled, asked Chu Chengde to leave quickly, and asked him not to attack the military camp of the Dead Kingdom tomorrow, everything was waiting for her news.

Chu Chengde couldn't be stubborn, and told Xia Ye to protect himself well before disappearing into the night.

"They're all up!" A soldier beating gongs and drums walked between the tents, and all the soldiers got up and walked out of the tents with sleepy eyes.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Huzi came out of the tent and asked.

"I don't know." Xia Ye looked at the suddenly extra torches, and glanced uneasily in the direction where Chu Chengde left, secretly saying that it would not be Chu Chengde who was discovered by the enemy.

"The military grain and grass have been delivered, and everyone has gotten up to unload the goods." The fat uncle who struck the gong said while striking the gong that all the soldiers were gathered together.

"It's grain and grass..."

"Great!"

All the soldiers were excited when they heard the news, and they began to talk about it.
