Chapter 17: The War for Food Defense 1

Ye Xuan was carried back to the third courtyard, and then there was a long day of recuperation.

After only a few months of working together to take care of the villa, Yuqing found herself, Ye Xuan lost completely, and Zhen'er won with brilliance. The festival ended three days later, and Yuqing and Yan Shuangying were also preparing to catch up with the convoy transporting grain and grass.

Yuqing rode his big red horse, wore a sword at his waist, walked out of the villa to meet Yan Shuangying, and flew over a sassy and heroic scenery on the official road. Yan Shuangying is also a big red horse, and the young general on the horse is also heroic and upright, and the two big red horses ride side by side on the official road.

"Yuqing, a few miles further is a field of crops, and we can turn around and move forward on the mountain road and the prancing horse. The convoy carrying grain has been gone for two days, and it has traveled more than 100 miles, to say the least. ”

''Yes, Uncle Adjutant General, they must be traveling day and night, if they all go to the mountains, it will delay their efforts.'' ”

"But it's relatively safe. This mountain road is the only way for troops sent from the inland to the border area, and not many people know about it. ”

"Twin Eagles, that's why it's even more insecure. Will the people who fight these food ideas be ordinary people? ”

"Yuqing, could it be that the Dog Emperor would really be despicable to this extent. The soldiers of the border fortress are defending his throne. ”

"Twin Eagles, when it comes to meanness, who else can compare to the royal people. If the two lieutenant uncles could think of this, Princess Ben was sure that they had already gone out of the road and changed to the official road. ”

"Yuqing, there are no mediocre fools in front of the God of War Throne. Then we will still chase them along the official road. ”

"Okay, do you have the confidence to have a horse race with Princess Ben?" Yuqing looked at the crops on both sides of the official road and almost couldn't see the figures, so he said to Yan Shuangying with a smile.

"Yuqing, your big red horses are all from Yanwai Castle, and they are all from the same family as my big red horses. I heard that your big red horse is fed with herbs that improve physical strength, but I grew up on horseback since I was a child, and raising horses and feeding horses will not be worse than yours. Twenty miles ahead there was a small town, where we rested and sharpened. Those who win find a place, and those who lose take money. ”

"Twin eagles, then do what you say, and you won't be allowed to fight when the time comes. This princess has a big appetite, so this princess will go first. After Yuqing finished speaking, he gave the mechanical horse under him an order to speed up.

In an instant, I saw Yuqing's big red horse neighing, dripping and beeping...... Then only a red afterimage could be seen. Yan Shuangying only felt a strong wind passing by, and then looked at where there was still Yuqing's shadow. I couldn't help but be surprised and shocked in my heart, is this still the big red horse I sent over? So he waved his whip and quickly accelerated his big red horse.

"Double eagles, horses are also spiritual, don't make him angry, friendship first and competition second, this princess goes ahead to prepare what you need, you just do your best." Yuqing's voice came from the wind, as if it was coming from the ear. A sweet sense of frustration rose in Yan Shuangying's heart, and sweetness sweetened the rest of the way in his heart.

"Mother, you're pulling your father too far."

"yes, it hurts my self-esteem." Yuyu and Doudou said in Yuqing's consciousness.

"This princess has serious business going to the small town in front of her, and she doesn't know if she has enough time. Who is in the mood to really race and ride a horse here, you two help the mother to perceive the places that the mother has ignored, don't fix those who don't. Yuqing taught the two children in his consciousness, and rushed forward without slowing down at all.

After more than 20 miles, I really saw a small town, which was actually bigger than the village, and the streets were a little more regular. A main street was not long from the beginning to the end, and the mechanical horse that entered the town of Yuqing slowed down according to the instructions.

"Mother, there is a small grain store on our left."

"Mom, there's a bigger grain shop in front of you, and there's a carriage shop at the end of the street."

"Mother, three doors further forward is the largest restaurant here, and there are not many people eating yet."

"Mom, it's better to go to the food stall behind the main street to eat, where there are many people and more talk."

"Mother, it's better to go to the teahouse and sit down, the people there have different levels of contact."

The two children talked about what they perceived as they walked, and Yuqing also looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and also sensed the situation behind the main street.

"Yuyu Doudou, let's go buy some grain first, and then go hire a carriage."

"Mother, you already have an inexhaustible granary in the world, why do you still want to buy grain?"

"Sister is so stupid, I always have to give my mother a place to find a source for the things in the granary."

"Oh, Yuyu understands, Dad is really a little pitiful, he didn't need to spend money."

"Silly melon, you can't just spend money on your mother." While the two children were talking, Yuqing had already walked into the small grain shop to buy a thousand catties of miscellaneous grains, and said that there would be a carriage to pull it after a while.

"Miss, is this a red or white thing? Our fine grain here is also good, all of which were new last fall. The guy in the grain store asked casually while weighing, and Yuqing said with a smile while waiting to be asked.

"Little second brother, it's not a red thing or a white thing, these miscellaneous grains are all military rations to be sent to the border area, and Miss Ben is doing a big thing."

"Miss, in the second half of yesterday, there was also a convoy of military rations, and two groups of protective guards. Miss is with them all the way, right? ”

"Yes, the military rations are all purchased along the road." Obedient and obedient, sure enough, the dog emperor planned to cut off the grain halfway, Yuqing thought in his heart, hoping that the soldiers led by the deputy general's uncle could protect the grain. I'm going to speed up here.

Yuqing bought a thousand catties of fine grain from the big grain shop in front of him, and also got the same information.

"Miss, the convoy of grain and grass escorted by the imperial court passed through this town yesterday, and the guards behind it only chased here in the evening. He said that he would go to the village in front of him and rest for a few hours. You hurry up here and catch up with them in the big town a hundred miles away. ”

"Miss Ben won't chase them, she has to go to the front to buy food. There is no hurry to go to the side plug thousands of miles away. ”

"That's right, the soldiers who have the food in front of them can hold out for a while. It's just that Miss should be careful when delivering these grains alone, everyone is short of food in the spring ploughing season. ”

"Little second brother, are there still bandits who rob now?"

"Miss, the bandits now have gone to Biansai to help fight the war, even when there is no war, they don't do anything bad, the stragglers of the God of War have been co-opted by a part, and those who are bad have also been killed. It's just that the people who passed by here last night don't look like good people, and they just happened to meet the young lady when they came back. ”

"It's okay, thank you for reminding me." Leaving the big grain shop, Yuqing rented a few more carriages, and Yan Shuangying arrived here when he had loaded all the grain he bought.

A quarter of an hour ago, the two children reported his position, and Yuqing waited on the official road with four carriages.

"Yuqing, is your horse still a horse?" There was still some distance away, and Yan Shuangying hurriedly asked out of breath.

"Don't talk about the horses, hurry up and settle the money for the grain." Yuqing pointed to the guys in the two grain stores and said.

"Sister, Dad is really pitiful."

"Doudou, I am willing to lose the bet, our father should also be the best man."

"Yuqing?" Yan Shuangying felt the sound of chattering in his ears again, and he looked at Yuqing again suspiciously.

"Hurry up and give the money, and then go to dinner." Yuqing's search was urged.

"Yuqing, where am I sick? I've been hearing a lot of people talking in my ear lately. The two sat down in the teahouse, and Yan Shuangying asked anxiously.

"You're not sick, didn't you feel distressed after spending some money on you." Yuqing was perfunctory, but in his heart he was planning the secret in his divine consciousness, when would he tell him. Obviously, he has already had a sense with the two children who don't know the reason, this kind of induction Yuqing has never seen in those brain-opening travel books, and it can't be explained with science. It's like copying an ancient mural by yourself, and you have traveled here. Is it the interaction of biomagnetic fields, or the role of parallel interlacing of space, which has been debated in science.

"What's the matter, these grains are all for the soldiers on the side to eat, how can I feel distressed. Yuqing, if you don't want to give me a solution, I won't ask, but how your horse is fed, you should always tell me the trick, I don't want to be your tail every time. Yan Shuangying said a little childishly that he knew that Yuqing had a secret, and this secret should be related to himself. Yuqing didn't want to say that the hour had not arrived, and he would not ask before the hour came. Yuqing sensed Yan Shuangying's mental activity, and once again rejoiced that he had traveled to this dynasty, and it was not so unlucky.

"It's okay to be mature, my trick tells you, and you can't learn it."

"Then tell me to see your horse, or not the big red horse I gave you."

"Childish! Hurry up and get something to eat, and we're going to get on our way. Yuqing said with a smile, thinking in his heart that if he really asked him to look at his mechanical horse, he would see something.

"Yuqing, didn't you hear any news?" Yan Shuangying asked suspiciously, if it weren't for this, how could Yuqing leave without telling the horse to rest.

"Yes, Uncle Adjutant's grain cart has been targeted. It's only two hours away, so wait a while you escort these two cars, and I'll chase them. ”

"Yuqing, let's change horses and ride, you escort the grain cart, and I will support them."

"Are you worried that I'm outnumbered, or do you want to try the big red horse you gave me?" Yuqing said slyly.

"Yes, you're a girl, after all." Yan Shuangying said it very honestly.

"Double Eagle, the first horse is not what it used to be, and you can't control it. Second, my kung fu is above you, and the specific number of pursuers is not known, in addition to kung fu, I also have poison. You can protect the grain truck, and if there is a fish that escapes, it will happen to you. ”

"Yuqing, then, then you should be careful. I will definitely protect the food, don't forget the money paid by the lord of this fort. Yan Shuangying said lightly, half-jokingly. In fact, the hearts of the two of them are heavy, after all, the deputy generals are good at kung fu immediately, and it is really difficult to predict the chances of victory for the secret guards in the court.

Yan Hui Yanlai and their grain truck team had really been intercepted and killed, or on the mountain road, a group of bandits from nowhere there were more than 30 people. The convoy caught up with them at noon the day after it left the Imperial City. Fortunately, these bandits have not wasted their efforts, and they have finally beaten away the pursuers by relying on the familiar terrain in the mountains, and more than a dozen carts of grain are intact. It's just that a few horses that pulled the cart died, which also affected the future journey.

"Yan Hui, how do you feel that these don't look like ordinary bandits." Rearrange the grain into a carriage that can still walk, Yan Lai said to Yan Hui.

"Yes, those wounded people have poison in their mouths, and these bandits are like dead soldiers in captivity."

"We've also been bandits, and if we can't beat it, we can run, and there's no reason to kill ourselves. Yan Hui, these should be the secret guards sent by the Dog Emperor. Right! It's them, the mountain road here is the way to the front line to increase troops, ordinary people don't know it, even the court officials don't know it. ”

"Yanlai, judging from this situation, we should abandon the mountain road and take the official road. Although the distance is much farther, it is relatively safer. ”

"Okay, diversion! When it comes to the official road, it is also more spacious, and Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, and the Tartar Japanese are not afraid of thousands of troops and horses, and they are also afraid of the dog legs raised by the dog emperor. ”

"Okay, we'll go down the hill at the next junction and get to the town to find a few wagons, or buy a few horses." After the two of them decided to come down, they went out of the mountain early the next morning and walked on the official road. Unexpectedly, after walking less than fifty miles, there were chasing soldiers behind him.

"Vice General Yan, fight with them. Twice the palace changed Lao Tzu's wife and children left in the imperial city died in their brawls, and Lao Tzu went to the front to defend their country regardless of his previous suspicions, and he couldn't eat if he wanted to. One of the bandits said angrily.

"That's right! Kill them, then escort our God of War general back to the throne! ”

"The dog emperor really doesn't do anything, what's the use of such an emperor protecting him."

"It was necessary to kill them, but we were both good at horsework, and this time we used our strengths to drive the wagons into the woods and unload the horses. Hide the food, even if we can't eat it, we can't leave it to the dog emperor. Yan looked at the sentinel who came to report the news and said firmly.

"Good! That's it! The men without horses stayed here to guard the grain and grass, and the rest fought with the dogs of the court. “

The decision was made, and everyone unloaded the remaining horses from the wagon. Some of them hurriedly ran into the horses, and some of them hid the grain roughly. The sound of people and horses could already be heard in the distance, and in a moment I could already see the dust raised on the official road.

There were half a hundred more people chasing this team than the first time, and the leader looked at the uneven war horses and the bandits who were in a hurry to meet the battle, and sat on the back of the horse and laughed fiercely: "It's quite capable of running, but a group of rabble bandits, the court is willing to give you the title of good person, you should know how to be grateful to Dade, and want the court to raise you, I really don't know how thick the sky is." Those who know each other leave food and grass, uncle, I will let you live, don't blame uncle, our sword has no eyes. ”

"We're good people, but we're not like you who don't do anything in human skin. The emperor is mediocre and the court is chaotic, and you are still fighting for the tiger. You still want to collect the people to collect money for yourself, such a dog emperor is not worthy of sitting in that position, and you lackeys are not worthy of living. Brothers, fight with them! Yan Hui rode a horse and stood at the front and shouted.

"Rush! Kill the dog cub on the Dog Emperor. Yan Lai brandished his spear and rushed over.

"I really don't know whether to live or die, so I rely on a few burning sticks of you rabble, and leave the food for your life." The leader of the pursuers gave an order, and the two sides fought together.
