23 The dilemma of the thief is a familiar double play
Deep in the Peony Lake.
The bandits had yellow faces and thin muscles, and sighed.
"How much food do we have?"
"I don't know, the general won't let me ask, and the last one who asked was given a hundred lashes."
"Shh......h I don't think there's much left...... It's all gruel to drink these days. ”
"Grandma drips, I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy!"
may be because of the hunger, these Shaohu thieves are not only full of resentment, but also a lot more courageous, and they actually began to scold the black correction.
"If you want me to say, the current Grand Commander is too bold!"
"More than a month has passed, and there is no trace of the so-called 'Chu Army'. The commander was suspicious, and still didn't allow us to go down the mountain to grab food, which caused the Lao Tzu to be hungry. ”
"I think that what happened to General Shaohu at the beginning was probably a coincidence - damn, it made Lao Tzu's legs hungry!"
"Shhh...... Be quiet, dare to question the Grand Commander? Don't you want to live anymore? ”
……
At this moment, Hei Jiao is pacing irritably.
Like many of the Peony Lake pirates below, Heijie is starving—which makes his already ruthless temper even worse.
These days, if the people around him make any small mistakes, they will be whipped by the irascible black entanglement.
So that the people next to him are now walking around him.
However, despite his violent emotions, Heijiao's brain is still calm.
Shaohu and the others went out and did not return, and it has been more than a month since this incident, and the wind and waves are calm.
On the contrary, it makes the black correction even more suspicious!
It stands to reason that he caught Shaohu, a former general of the Yue Kingdom and now the second commander of the Shaohu bandits...... Even if the official government of the State of Chu will not celebrate the merits of the show, there will definitely be clues.
Now, it's as if it never happened.
"Great, Great Commander......" A pawn came in at the door, and reported tremblingly: "The brothers have come back from investigation, and there is still no movement on Quyang's side. ”
"Hmm." Hei Jiao gasped heavily: "Probe again." ”
The pawn gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Great Commander...... Judging from the small ones, it may be understandable that the Chu people have not moved. ”
"Huh?" Hei Jiao's heavy eyebrows twitched, and he was surprisingly not angry: "Go on." ”
The pawn was bold: "Is there such a possibility-as soon as the second commander showed up, they were killed by the Chu people without saying anything, and those damned Chu people didn't know the identity of the second commander at all!" ”
Hei Jiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
It's not impossible.
The people of Chu see the Shaohu thieves as a thorn in the flesh, and they will want to get rid of them quickly - the previous several encirclement and suppression, they were all escaped by the Shaohu thieves, and this time the Chu people chose not to talk about martial arts, and they came up to fight to the death, which is also reasonable.
The pawn kneeling on the ground looked at Hei Jiu with expectant eyes.
These days, they go to Quyang every day to investigate.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!
Not only is the growth of crops in the fields amazing, but the straight and smooth roads are full of carts full of goods!
There were even merchants with foreign accents.
Damn, when did Quyang become so rich? If you can go down the mountain to grab it, how much oil and water will you have!
Think about the bitter brothers in the depths of Shaohu Lake, who can't eat enough and walk in circles......
It's worth the risk!
At this time, Hei Jiao, who had been pacing, stood still, as if he was making up his mind.
I had to make a move - even if the food in the nest was a meal of gruel, it was only enough for five days, and if I waited any longer, I would have to eat people.
Black Correction eyes are ruthless!
"Tell the brethren to prepare to go down the mountain to grab food!"
"You spies, you have to probe - see where the oil and water are thick."
"If you don't do well, be careful that I skin you!"
The pawn was overjoyed when he heard this!
It's finally time to get the hang of it!
……
In the past few days, Prince Miheng has been walking around Quyang City every day, and he never gets tired of it.
Although it is a small city, under Xiong Wuliang's governance, there are many new things that have never been seen in Yingdu.
The only side effect...... Mi Heng was brainwashed by the strange advertising song of the tea stall!
Unconsciously humming along every day.
made Huang Xie's spirit on the verge of collapse, and the knife man's heart was gone.
"Brother Wang, when will Brother Wei be able to hunt in your fiefdom?" After eating, drinking, and having fun for several days, Mi Heng finally remembered the purpose of the trip.
In the world of the Warring States, there was no entertainment.
Gathering a crowd to hunt can be regarded as a favorite team building activity of aristocratic sons.
Unlike the hunters, who were on the road for a living, the nobles hunted with great grace.
Often, the cavalry and horses are ordered to drive back and forth, driving the prey to the faces of the boys who are waiting for the rabbits, and then the boys bend their bows and arrows to easily take the prey that is already so tired that they are foaming at the mouth.
In the hunting ground, the aristocratic sons will gather together to have a relationship and family affairs while waiting, which can be regarded as the original version of the social occasion.
Xiong Wuliang spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "It's a pity that in order to encourage farmers to open up wasteland, I have already ordered Zhong Hua to sweep the fiefdom several times inside and out. ”
"I guess it's enough to choke on any prey."
Zhong Hua nodded cooperatively on the side: "That's right, there are no bigger rabbits in the fiefdom...... Unless you go to hunt voles, it can be regarded as a pest for the farms. ”
"It's so ......" Prince Miheng was disappointed: "I came all the way to Quyang just for a few voles?" ”
"I'm afraid of being laughed at by everyone!"
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly and said hypocritically: "Brother Wang, even if there is still prey in the mountains, you can't go hunting." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Mi Heng asked.
Xiong Wuliang paused, with a constipated expression: "I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's not safe. ”
Mi Heng laughed twice: "The palace guards around me are all the most brave elite warriors in Dachu, can they still be injured by a few wild wolves?" ”
"Brother Wang, you underestimate me too much!"
The prince of Mi Liang nodded again and again, making a statement of shame: "My prince of Chu is extraordinary, brave and resourceful, generous and righteous, who in the world does not know?" Ashamed, ashamed, Fang is a foolish brother! ”
The upright Mi Heng was comfortably slapped by Xiong Wuliang's rainbow fart and laughed.
Zhong Hua on the side said 'straightforwardly': "The danger that my lord said is not a jackal. ”
"The danger in Quyang County is the Shaohu pirates entrenched in Shaohu Lake!"
"Shut up!" Xiong Wuliang was 'furious' and scolded sharply: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to mention this matter in front of the prince!" ”
Zhong Hua immediately 'bowed his head and confessed': "The last general will be quick to ...... for a while"
Mi Heng was dazed by this double reed, and asked curiously: "In this Quyang territory, there is actually a bandit that can't be successful?" Why didn't Brother Wang allow Zhong Hua to mention it to me? ”
Xiong Wuliang 'beat his chest and paused', sighing!
"I have always known that Brother Wang is anxious for justice and righteousness, if I knew that there was such a group of bandits who were cruel to the township and plundered the people, I would definitely go out in person and kill them."
"But there are many bandits...... Brother Wang is wise and martial, and he will definitely be the hero of my generation of Great Chu in the future! What if there is any danger here...... Mi Liang is hard to die! ”
"Therefore, the people in the palace are strictly ordered not to mention the Shaohu piracy in front of Brother Wang!"
"Who knows...... Behold...... Ah! Xiong Wuliang stomped his foot hard! hated iron and looked at Zhong Hua, who bowed his head and confessed his guilt.
Zhong Hua's face was full of shame, and he admonished bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general knows that you have always been righteous and awe-inspiring, and you love the people like a son, and you will never compromise with these bandits. ”
"However, the last general implores you not to be impulsive—you must not risk your golden body for the sake of the common people of a mere county!"
The prince was stunned.
And then laughed -
