Chapter Forty-Eight: Wang Xu Is Too Soft?
Seeing that these women's appetites were already high enough, Matana and Tao glanced at each other and began to close the net. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sisters, Lan's expeditionary force has had a hard time. ”
Sure enough, it was an acting school, tears came as soon as they said it, listening to Matana's tearful story about how Lan's expeditionary force was unclothed and hungry, and still fought bravely against the rebel army in the first mountain range, these women were also very heartbroken, and they shed tears with Matana.
"So, sisters, we are here to be happy, and we must do something for the expeditionary force. ”
Seeing that everyone was crying, Matana clenched her little fists and shouted.
"Something must be done for the expeditionary force!"
Matana's cry was echoed by all the women, and one by one, with red eyes, shouted wildly with Matana's voice.
"So, I have decided to sell these jewels that Your Majesty has given me in exchange for all kinds of rations and quarters for the expeditionary force, sisters, I don't think you will embarrass me. ”
"Okay, I'll give out three hundred catties of wolftail grass seeds, and this gem of the blue heart belongs to me!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received an immediate response.
"Three hundred catties of wolftail grass seeds want the blue heart, are you so worthless when these things are these things, Niangniang, I will give five hundred catties, and the blue heart belongs to me!"
"I'll give a thousand pounds!"
"I'll give you two thousand pounds!"
"I will give 10,000 catties, not only will I have a blue heart, but also that red jade!"
After these months of fighting, the homes of these nobles have hoarded countless various foods and medicinal herbs, and even more, the ores used to refine salt at home are full of several large houses.
Those men outside may still have some long-term ideas, ready to save these things for the future, but these old ladies of the loser will not think so much, in their eyes now, there are only two things, the first thing, that is, the expeditionary force is very hard, they must use their surplus food to donate it to them as military food, and the second thing, these grains can be exchanged for them beautiful jewelry and all kinds of exquisite daily necessities.
Of course, there is no shortage of intelligent people among these women, and for these intelligent people, the first thing can be completely ignored, but the second thing cannot be ignored in any way.
However, in the blink of an eye, several large boxes full of luxury goods were coaxed by these women and exchanged for countless grains and hams, as well as all kinds of medicinal herbs.
When the women got what they wanted, they no longer pestered Matana, but gathered together in groups of three or five, constantly showing off what they had bought with the people in their circle.
"Matana, would you mind talking to me?" Old Hama's voice came from behind Matana.
Seeing that old Hama's face was solemn, Matana nodded, came to an inconspicuous corner with him, and quickly took off the shiny shoes on her feet while people were not paying attention, and gently rubbed her little feet.
It is said that this is the most popular shoe for the aristocratic ladies of the human race, and when worn on the feet, it can make people's curves look softer and taller.
The only disadvantage of such shoes is that after wearing them for a long time, their feet will hurt terribly, which is only half an hour's work, but Matana feels more tired than climbing the entire second mountain range of Hengduan Mountain.
"Mattana, do you feel that the current barbarian tribe seems to be really different from before. Old Hama's voice sounded extremely embarrassed.
As the daughter of the previous king, she can clearly feel the changes in the current Nanzhan Department, not to mention anything else, the current new king Wang Xu is completely different from the father in his memory.
Although his father has always been a high-minded existence in the eyes of others, Matana can't see any joy on his face, and he has a sad face every day, and he is in a hurry, and it is difficult for him to even want to talk to him.
This is actually not to blame my father at all, after all, he has hundreds of thousands of people in his hands to eat, and those who have nothing to eat have to think about how to eat, but those who are lucky enough to be nobles and have food to eat, but they all have their own various careful thoughts, not only will not let those who are hungry eat, but think about how to use the food in their hands to bring benefits, eating and getting those noble masters, it seems to have become the two most headaches for Wang Lei back then.
In fact, it's not just Wang Lei, which barbarian king, isn't worried about these two things and can't sleep at night, as soon as winter comes, they will frown, thinking about how to distribute the meat that is not abundant in their hands, thinking that those people should be given up and banished to the mountains to fend for themselves, and those nobles will take advantage of some unmoved thoughts, how to use a limited number of royal divisions to defend them.
But Asahi doesn't seem to worry about these two things at all, he lives a leisurely life every day, and he doesn't bother to care about any problems except for looking around for food and doing the necessary exercises.
He will not be like the old king before, mixed with his own king all day long, and he will not be like the old king, wearing that rhinoceros skin armor every day, carrying a bone spear in his hand, and going to the mountains to fight the beasts in person, the knowledge in his head, the food provided for him, I am afraid that even the next life will not be able to eat.
He is smart, but compared to Lao Wang, he seems to be much lazy, especially now that this farcical celebration is easy to be regarded as unprofessionally regarded by some people who do not know the truth.
However, I am afraid that even if Lao Wang Lei comes back to life, he would never have imagined that Wang Xu could actually use this way to cut out so much military rations for Lan's expeditionary force from the hands of those nobles who have always been a dime a dime.
This damn guy, if he knew about the tragedy that his father gave his subordinates his favorite armor in order to collect food for his own king, he would probably laugh and lean back.
Thinking of Wang Xu's smug appearance, while being angry, Matana unconsciously blushed, annoying Xu, when did she become so concerned about his reaction?
"Matana, I have to say that the method that Asahi used to collect military rations for the army this time is indeed great, but I think you understand what I am worried about. Old Hama raised his head, his brow tightly knit.
Matana's heart shook wildly, old Hama said things, and she was not worried in her heart, the army that Wang Xu wanted to equip now was not his own Wang Shi, but the expeditionary force in the hands of this guy Lan.
Who is Lan, the current patriarch of the Iguana Department, his own nephew and brother all died at the hands of Xu, such a person, but Xu actually has no defense against him?
"Matana, the current Xu, doesn't look like a barbarian king at all, he doesn't have his own royal master, and he has been on the throne for so long, he hasn't hunted once, I admit, now he has a high popularity, but do you think that if he only relies on the popularity, he can deter those nobles with wolf ambitions, and deter the old guys of the other three major tribes?"
Old Hama's voice sounded heartbroken, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he had long been accustomed to the open and secret battles between the barbarian nobles, and without a huge army in his hands, no barbarian king could survive such a struggle.
This kind of thing, he has talked to Wang Xu more than once, but until now, Wang Xu does not seem to have the intention of rectifying Wang Shi, seeing that there is less than half a month to go, it is the time for the autumn hunting of the Nanzhan Department to conduct the preselection, as the commander of the light pole Wang Xu, it is really difficult for old Hama to imagine what kind of bad results he will get in this qualifier competition.
"Hama, you can't say that, after all, Lan, it seems that after so long, he doesn't mean to turn his face with Xu, maybe, he will support Xu behind his back. ”
As Wang Xu's wife, Matana naturally doesn't want her husband to lose his prestige in front of the nobles of other races, not to mention, this prestige is also related to his status and even his life.
"Martina, I just want to remind you, no matter what, the army that your father left in your hands must be tightly grasped in your hands, if anything really happens, I am afraid that it is the capital of our lives. ”
Old Hama sighed, and looked at Matana with more solemn eyes.
"What about Xu, what should he do?" Martina's voice was extremely anxious, after these months of getting along, Wang Xu seemed to be her own person in her heart.
"What else can I do, Mattana, we have already labeled this little guy on our bodies, do you think we have any other way out except to run with him to the dark. Old Hama sighed helplessly.
"This Xu is good at everything, but he just lacks the decisiveness and fortitude of the old king, in this barbarian, this is the most fatal thing. ”
"Hama, don't forget about the sacrificial ceremony. Mattana reminded quietly.
"Of course I won't forget, it's true that he did that time very ferociously, but Mattana, the emperor of the barbarians, has always been the kind of character who will succeed in a thousand bones, and Asahi's performance that time was not enough to make some ambitious guys look at the peak. ”
It seemed that God had heard his words in the dark, but apparently, the old man did not agree with Old Hama's words, so a bloodied warrior walked into the ceremony hall with the support of several guards.
