Chapter 157, The Generalissimo's Conundrum
Unlike the previous team of Pegasi, the armor on these Pegasus knights is of different colors, but they are uniform and appear to be well-trained.
After this team left, several teams of Pegasus knights left the city, all heading towards the place where the Void Array Gate was, their strength was different, but they were almost the same, but the purpose was the same, they all headed towards the valley where the Void Array Gate was located.
After a while, more than a dozen teams of Pegasus knights passed, and the city gate finally calmed down, but Qin Mo's faces were very unsightly.
"These are the knights of Shanhaiguan?" Bao Shuang asked strangely.
The warrior nodded with a wry smile, but shook his head again, and said, "It is indeed a knight from Shanhaiguan, but it is not a knight from the Marshal's Mansion. ”
"What do you mean?" said Huang Ying strangely.
The warrior did not explain, and said with a bitter face: "After a while, you will understand." ”
When all the knights had left, he walked to the stone monument at the gate of the city, and gave a respectful salute, looking very solemn.
The stele is full of traces of time, but the word "Shanhaiguan" is still clear, it looks vigorous and powerful, Qin Mo looked at this stele, inexplicably feeling kind, but he didn't know where this intimacy came from.
"Could it be the relationship between the mountains and the seas?" Qin Mo thought in his heart.
The warrior who led the way saluted, and then led the three of them to the city, which was far more prosperous than they had imagined, with shops on both sides, all hanging the names of various families.
However, what made Qin Mo strange was that few of these shops were from the Li family, most of them belonged to the ancient family, and only a few belonged to other families.
"It seems that the Li family's military merits are really not high. Qin Mo sighed in his heart, if the Li family is strong, there should be many Li family shops in this mountain and sea city.
He came this time, firstly, to investigate the affairs of the Shanhai family, secondly, to see what the mysteries of the first entrance of the human race were, and secondly, to strive for military merit and exchange for that county fiefdom, but he did not plan to use the power of the Li family.
Walking on the street, the three of them were not very conspicuous, which also allowed several people to carefully understand the situation in Shanhai City, and before they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, they saw several large mansions.
The mansions of the ancient family seem to be among them, and they are brilliant and magnificent, even the mansions of some small families are not bad.
Until they came to the Marshal's Mansion, the three of them were dumbfounded, if it weren't for the three words "Marshal's Mansion" on the plaque at the door, they really couldn't believe that this was the Generalissimo's Mansion of all the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan.
Qin Mo suddenly became a little anxious about the third master and nephew, what kind of mixture is this, the mansion of any small family is more magnificent than his marshal's mansion.
"Why are you so shabby?" Bao Shuang didn't dare to look at directly.
When the soldier who led the way heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "This is what the Marshal's Mansion looks like, you later, I will go inside to report it." ”
Seeing him running in with a smoke, Huang Ying asked, "Won't this marshal's mansion be an empty shell, right?"
Bao Shuang nodded seriously and said, "I think so, how can there be such a humble marshal's mansion, has this been how many years without military salaries?"
"What are you talking about, we'll see later. Qin Mo also felt that something was not normal.
After a while, a person who looked like a steward walked out, he glanced the three of them up and down, and said, "Disciple from the Academy Palace?"
"That's right, Xuegong Qin Mo. Qin Mo arched his hand.
"Qin Mo?" The person in charge seemed to be a little familiar, but he also remembered where he had heard it, so he didn't care, and said with a smile, "Please go inside, and I'll arrange a place for you to live." ”
The steward really regarded Qin Mo and the three of them as idlers transporting supplies, and casually arranged a place for them to live, explained a few words, and left.
"I always felt that something was wrong. In the hall, Bao Shuanghu said suspiciously, "Did the dozen or so Pegasus knights who went out just now see it?"
"We are not blind. Huang Ying glanced at him.
Bao Shuangcan laughed and continued: "Those guys seem to be running for the resources they have brought here, but this resource is obviously the resources of the Imperial City, not the resources of any family. ”
"Do you mean that these families compete for resources and use them for their own use?" Qin Mo asked.
"That's right, thinking that this marshal's mansion is so shabby, Poor Dao thinks that the marshal's mansion should only be the nominal marshal's mansion, and it sounds like all the soldiers and horses of the commander-in-chief Shanhaiguan, but in fact, even the people of a small family may not listen to the orders of the marshal's mansion. Bao Shuang said.
After hearing this, Huang Ying looked at Qin Mo, but saw that Qin Mo was silent, and after a while, someone brought food, Qin Mo stopped and said, "I want to meet the generalissimo." ”
"Do you want to see the generalissimo?" the soldier who delivered the meal was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "The marshal is busy, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you at this time." ”
"What are you busy with?" Bao Shuang immediately asked.
"It's not about dealing with supplies yet. As soon as the supplies were mentioned, the soldier suddenly thought of the origin of the three and asked, "Do you know why the Imperial City sent supplies?"
Of course, Qin Mo and the others knew that it wasn't Tianjian Division who hitched a ride on his million spirit coins in order to save money, but they all shook their heads.
Seeing this, the soldier sighed and said, "I don't know what you know, no, the generalissimo is worried about this material." ”
"Why are you worried?" asked Huang Ying curiously.
"Why don't you worry?" the soldier asked rhetorically, and then explained, "Originally, the materials were delivered once a year, and the generalissimo would basically arrange them, but this time the materials were suddenly delivered, and the major families rushed to grab them, so he was naturally worried, and the generalissimo didn't know the purpose of the delivery of these materials." ”
"Of course it's for war, can I still give you food and drink for free? Bao Shuang said as a matter of course.
"It's a fart battle, except for the big cities at the frontline, this mountain and sea city hasn't fought for hundreds of years. The soldier's tone was a little excited, "It's good if these materials can be stored in the warehouse of the Marshal's Mansion, the war is tight, and they can be deployed in time, but this is materials without purpose." ”
"The materials transported from the Imperial City, the family dares to grab them?" Qin Mo asked.
"Robbing?" the warrior felt that Qin Mo's words were a little funny, "Where is the need to rob, as soon as the materials were transported in previous years, the Gu family was basically divided, and the Marshal's Mansion went through a process here, there was no need to rob it at all, just take it away." ”
"Isn't the Marshal's Mansion the commander-in-chief of all the armaments?" asked Bao Shuang in surprise.
"It's the commander-in-chief, but someone has to listen to it. The warrior sighed and said, "The generalissimo probably went to the Void Formation Gate to mediate now, and he won't be able to come back for a while." ”
Qin Mo and the others still wanted to inquire, but the soldier suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The hall immediately fell silent, and Bao Shuang suddenly broke the silence and said, "The generalissimo of Mr. Emotional Third is in name only." ”
Seeing that Bao Shuang was still about to eat, Qin Mo dragged him out and said, "Let's go, go to the Void Array Gate to have a look, anyway, this is also the material that cost me millions of spirit coins to transport, the Generalissimo's Mansion can't control it, we can manage it." ”
Bao Shuang shuddered when he heard this, and said nervously: "Don't do anything stupid, after all, the Generalissimo's Mansion can't cover us, and this is Shanhaiguan, not the Imperial City." ”
"Just you are cowardly!" Huang Ying glared at him angrily, "If you don't want to go, you can go, the two of us will go." ”
As soon as Huang Ying spoke, Bao Shuang immediately cheered up and said, "Go, why don't you go, isn't it just a few families, I'm afraid he will do something." ”
Qin Mo smiled bitterly, and led the two of them out of the Generalissimo's Mansion, all the way to the Void Array Gate, and returned to the valley after a while.
Looking from a distance, I saw dozens of groups of people and horses confronting each other, it was the Pegasus knights who had just left the city, and when they got closer, they heard a burst of arguments.
"Since this batch of supplies is not for the preparation of a big war, I propose that it be divided in this way and used as ordinary armaments. ”
"It's good to divide it, but the question is how to divide it, although this batch of materials is not as good as the annual round of materials, it is not a lot. ”
"That's right, even if it's a score, it's a fair and fair score. ”
"I think so, whoever has a big city on the front line and is under more pressure will share more, and those who are under less pressure will be given less?"
"How can this be considered fair? The attacks of the alien race are slow and urgent, maybe the pressure of this big city is great today, and maybe the pressure of the other family will be much greater tomorrow. ”
"It's reasonable, it's very unfair to divide it like this, I think it's better to divide it according to the size of the territory. ”
The people at the head of several families said a word, and I said a word, but those who were responsible for transporting materials in couldn't say a word.
In addition, a team of knights in gold armor remained silent, and the strong man at the head was not in a hurry as if he was waiting for something.
But everyone can see that he is not in a hurry because he is very helpless, and the division of materials seems to have no part for him to speak.
The controversy lasted for a long time, but the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and in the end there was no conclusion, and the people and horses of all parties were consumed in front of the front of the battle, and they were obviously not ready to stop.
"If you want me to say, it would be good if this material would be directly coordinated by the Generalissimo's Mansion, and when it comes to the big war, it will be uniformly deployed, wouldn't it be great?" Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
Everyone present looked over, but found that it was the two men and a woman who had approached just now, but no one paid attention to their arrival, and it was not until this time that the person in charge spoke and attracted attention.
As soon as he finished speaking, a knight who led the team shouted: "Which family are you from, is it your turn to speak here?"
The rest of the knights who led the team all looked at them with disdain, and quickly withdrew their gaze.
Just when everyone thought that he was being drunk, he spoke again: "It's unfortunate that I don't belong to any family, but I can still talk about this material." ”
Everyone looked at it again, but this time it was dignified, and they looked the three of them up and down, which was very strange.
Another knight who led the team sneered, "Oh, then I'm going to hear how you can talk." ”
The rest of the knights also smiled, but more mockingly and sneeringly.
The young man at the head didn't care, pointed to the supplies, and said, "These materials were crossed over by spending my spirit coins, why can't I speak?"
