Chapter 279 is huge
The long grain transport team was already waiting outside the southern gate of Baili Mansion, and the escorts in charge of escorting patrolled around with large knives.
Everyone heard the movement of the earth shaking the mountains from afar, and the Yuan family thought that the Southern Emperor had sent troops to chase after them, and they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"Don't be afraid, old man, it's the cattle and horses that the castle owner brought to pull the grain cart have arrived, and this movement is absolutely indispensable."
Zeng Zhixing, who was always paying attention to the Yuan family, hurriedly stepped forward to explain to Old Man Yuan.
"We have so much food, it is difficult to pull it back to Xingyuan Mansion by manpower, and it is easy to have an accident if it is delayed for a long time.
Before the castle lord left, he had asked us to wait, and this was not coming.
Listening to this movement, at least a few hundred head of livestock, which is a lot of money.
Our castle master is amazing! Your old days of happiness are yet to come! ”
"Hahaha, we're clever when we're young, and the ideas are one after another."
Old man Yuan, who was still a little breathless just now, heard that it was the movement made by the baby's granddaughter, and his heart calmed down.
Laughing like a Maitreya Buddha, he touched his chin and searched for the words praising Xiao Ziyu in his head.
The deepest impression is that when the stinky girl met when she was a child, she always liked to pull his few beards.
went through his private money to buy pastries to eat, and every time he was beaten, it was always the younger son's fool.
Being well-behaved is just the surface of that girl, and she does a lot of bad things behind her back.
According to him, he is used to letting the old woman give it, although he also spoils the girl, but there is really no way.
The whole family is just such a baby girl, and even the married sister's family has not had a girl born.
Unfortunately, during the war, two nephews and one nephew were taken away, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
In order to keep the only remaining son and three grandchildren, the younger sister's family agreed to move out with the family.
And the people whose whereabouts are unknown, they all know in their hearts that they are only afraid that they will be more than lucky, and now they can only care about the living.
"The old man is right, the castle lord is the smartest person in the world, and the people in the whole Daxia Bay like the castle lord very much."
Zeng Zhixing couldn't see the pride of the old man, whoever had such a person would be so happy that he couldn't find the north.
He can see from an outsider that the Yuan family's love for the castle owner is sincere, unlike some people who do superficial work.
The whole family gathered, and even the children did not make any noise, and they all waited quietly.
…
When the last cow walked out of the south gate, it was already dark, and the south gate slowly closed in the eyes of everyone.
Ziyu glanced back at the soldiers on the city, smiled meaninglessly, waved his hand, and said loudly.
"There will be a date later!"
"There will be a period after the hero! Heroes are welcome! ”
The soldiers on the city wall responded in unison, and they all saw off with adoring eyes.
Hundreds of cattle and horses made the soldiers greedy, as well as the grain carts that could not be seen.
Among the nearly 800 people in the grain transportation team, there are the Yuan family and their in-laws, as well as the workshop craftsmen who were moved by the Yuan family.
Everyone has expectations for the future and follows the Yuan family on the unknown road.
Ben was a little uneasy, but when he saw the sudden appearance of cattle and horses, his heart suddenly calmed down.
Even the guards patrolling with knives failed to make them feel so at ease.
A large number of livestock, in their eyes, represents the real strength, and that sense of security cannot be replaced by anything else.
…
A long fire dragon hurried overnight, Ziyu and Libai led the team, Luo Hao led twenty guards behind, and Bai Piao and Baihu were responsible for the security in the middle.
The cart full of grain would naturally attract the covetousness of outsiders, but when they saw the bright sword, they all retreated into the darkness.
The team with no end in sight made those who wanted to rob immediately sober up, especially those two pairs of green eyes, which made people tremble in their legs.
Grain convoys do not stop as they pass through villages and towns.
Of course, those who dare to stand in the way will not be polite, because they only have two options.
One is to follow the team, and the other is to expose the corpse wilderness.
Under the threat of broadswords, the roadblockers naturally choose the first type, and the procession that passes through each village is like a snowball, and the population grows and grows.
But there are also people who are not afraid of death, and invite three or five fox friends to hold sticks and hoes, but they can't even touch the edges, and they don't need to be guarded at all.
was beaten down by the new joiners, beaten down and beaten to the nose and face, which was more painful than killing them.
When encountering a brutal person, the guards didn't even bother to speak, and waited directly with a big knife.
The practice of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys makes people who want to take advantage of the fire dare not mess around, and Ziyu, who has privileges, does not pay attention to the voice of the government at all.
At this time, what is needed is to act in a high-profile manner, and if you are no longer restrained, there is no way to transport grain out of the southern territory.
…
After Ma Weiyuan of Dujiang Prefecture received an urgent letter of 800 li, he organized 500 people to rush to meet it overnight.
Ma Weiyuan took 80 guards and hurried to Jiangfu.
The team in charge of the transport consisted of ten escorts and chased after them with a group of men and women of different ages.
Everyone who joined the grain caravan came for the two buckets of grain, and it was said that they could have enough to eat on the way.
Just having enough to eat on the road makes many people's hearts moved.
If it weren't for the limited number of people needed, it is estimated that the people of the whole city would have come to participate.
Every year at the beginning of spring, when the green and yellow crops are scarce, many families have long run out of surplus food, and the entire Dujiang Mansion cannot find a job that pays for grain.
There are not enough men, and some women who are strong and often do farm work are eager to sign up.
…
Ziyu, who left Baili Mansion, slapped her ass and walked away with livestock and food easily.
There were also a lot of people along the way, and the number of people in the team had exceeded 1,000, and some people who did not know the reason were simply rushing for the long grain cart.
Some people only had a broken bowl and followed the leader of the group without looking back.
Luo Hao, who was delayed, saw that there were more and more people following behind, for fear that he had not yet left the southern border, so he ran out of food, and hurriedly sent someone to send a message to the two leaders in front.
"Urgent! Urgent! ”
The guards who gave the order ran and shouted, and the people on the road dodged one after another.
"What's the situation, report quickly!"
His ears moved slightly, and he turned to look at the person who was running up a puff of dust, Xu Feihong, who was known as 'Scud' in the escort team.
Xu Feihong, who made a mark with his feet, came to the two of them in an instant, and said without even breathing.
"Report to the boss and the castle master, Captain Luo said that there are more and more people following behind, please give the boss and the castle master an instruction."
Ziyu and Libai glanced at each other, and both of them showed a knowing smile and left Baidao.
"Others are willing to follow, and we can't embarrass others, after all, this road is still the road of the southern country!
The order went down, and those who followed could exchange firewood and wild vegetables for bowls of rice. ”
"Yes!"
Xu Feihong responded in his mouth, but he didn't understand the meaning, he was just a herald, so let the captain worry about it!
