Chapter 370 The Scourge
After hearing King Zhenbei's words, everyone couldn't help but ponder. They indeed did not see the footprints of the beast.
Li Yanlin also carefully recalled the surroundings of the temporary stable, "Your Majesty, there are horse hoof prints and cow hoof prints there. The hoof prints are connected together in a mess. You can't tell whether they are big beasts or some other beast!"
Li Yanlin felt that wild animals must have eaten the horses. Otherwise, how could he explain that more than a thousand horses, cattle and sheep disappeared overnight?
"Your Majesty, what is it if it's not a wild beast? We searched everywhere but couldn't find any sign of the horse." Leng Yue said in frustration.
King Zhenbei: "..." If this king knew, he would still come to you.
The matter was back to its original point. After a whole morning of discussion without any progress, the King of Zhenbei wanted to roast and eat the people who suspected the North Vietnamese mission!
However, it doesn’t seem to make sense that there would be so many of them eating there in one night.
"Let's all go look around the stable to see if there are any suspicious animal footprints," said King Zhenbei.
"Yes, let's go look for it together and we should find some clues." Everyone agreed unanimously.
After the North Vietnamese princess woke up, she had been waiting for breakfast. There was dust on the ground from last night's barbecue, so she didn't eat it.
The barbecue was over, so the Sixth Princess didn't eat last night and woke up hungry in the morning.
However, she waited for a long time and no one brought breakfast. "Xiaoyun, you and this princess go to find my second emperor brother."
Wuli Gaoyu was afraid that her second emperor brother would be angry. It was a small matter to ignore her eating, but it would be a big deal if he ignored her.
If her Third Emperor Brother were here, she wouldn't be afraid. After all, the Third Emperor Brother's status was not as high as hers.
The master and servant walked out of the room and met no one along the way: "Princess, where have these people gone? Why didn't you see anyone?"
"You ask this princess? How does this princess know?" Wuli Gaoyu was in a particularly bad mood.
There was no one in her second emperor brother's house, and no one was seen in the envoy's house either. Could it be that he left quietly?
"Xiaoyun, go and let all the horses and cows out. I want to see what they gain by hiding from me."
The sixth princess is angry. If you don’t make breakfast for me, then you go everywhere to find horses and cows!
King Zhenbei led his people out, but before they had gone far, they heard the chaos outside.
"What happened again?" King Zhenbei yelled angrily.
"Reporting to the prince, the North Vietnamese princess deliberately released their horses, cattle and sheep to harm our crops."
A thousand households were so angry that their horses, cattle and sheep, which had been hungry for two days, rushed into the crop fields and ate and trampled on them, damaging many crops.
Whether it was potatoes or cabbages they planted, the horses, cows, and sheep all ate them happily and could not be driven away.
If they hadn't had so many soldiers in Zhenbei, they would probably have done all the harm!
Hundreds of thousands of them stopped what they were doing and went to lead horses and herd cattle. The scene was quite chaotic.
Jiang Xinyan was so angry that stars appeared in her eyes, "This crazy princess is more stupid than the second prince, how can she harm the crops that others have worked so hard to grow?"
Chu Lixuan patted her back with his hand: "Xinxin~ don't be angry."
"Husband, do we want to put on makeup and go out to watch the fun? It's most hateful to see those crazy people letting horses, cattle and sheep out to harm the crops."
Jiang Xinyan felt that hiding in space and watching was not enough. She wanted to go out and repair people, thus destroying the fruits of other people's labor.
Chu Lixuan looked at her expectantly, but cruelly refused, "Xinxin~ We can't do everything ourselves. Didn't you say that we would go out for a walk after our farm is built?"
Jiang Xinyan's originally irritable mood, after seeing Chu Lixuan's handsome face and listening to his deep and powerful voice, half of the anger in her chest inexplicably dissipated, and she calmed down.
"Husband, you are right. The King of Zhenbei seems to be quite idle. Let's see how he handles it."
"Xinxin is so nice. Do you know why my husband doesn't want you to go out?" Chu Lixuan felt that his wife's thoughts were too simple.
"Didn't you say that you don't need to do anything yourself?" It's rare that you have a hidden secret?
"Xinxin~ Have you ever thought about it, if we pretend to be unknown people, we can only watch the excitement, and we won't have the right to speak!"
Jiang Xinyan: "..." It's true, she lives so comfortably here that she has forgotten that this is the evil ancient times.
Chu Lixuan was persuasive and said, "Xinxin, we conquered King Zhenbei with our strength, but if we didn't have enough food.
Even if my grandmother is the royal sister of the King of Zhenbei, so what? The King of Zhenbei will still not treat us, and others will not follow us."
"Husband, I saw how respectful everyone was to us. I forgot that if we had no food and no ability, no one would give us face."
"Xinxin, everything we have is achieved through our own efforts. We support them and lead them to live a good life.
They have to be grateful to us and respect us, so we have to accept it calmly and not feel embarrassed.
This time, the North Vietnamese horses trampled the crops of King Zhenbei. If not handled properly, war will break out, so we have to prepare to stockpile food again!"
Chu Lixuan was still very interested in farming and storing grain. After all, he had experienced many natural and man-made disasters in the past 20 years and was starving.
He had experienced the despair of having no food to eat many times. Relatively speaking, Chu Lixuan was still a high-ranking official in Dongchen Kingdom.
Every time there is a famine, it is the low-class people below who commit the most evil deeds, causing the heaven and earth to become inoperable.
King Zhenbei ran out of food a few years ago and was helpless when he met Chu Lixuan.
He and the soldiers were saved from starving to death, and now they are finally looking forward to a good potato harvest in a month.
Many of these bones were trampled by North Vietnamese horses, and King Zhenbei was furious.
"Go away, take your horses, cattle and sheep back. I cannot afford to serve you uncles."
The second prince of North Vietnam: "..." Go back? How will he communicate with his father when he goes back? There are also instructions from his mother.
The North Vietnamese princess asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, are you driving us back? Don't you want to exchange horses?"
"I just don't want to exchange. It was you North Vietnam who didn't want to exchange in the first place. No wonder I broke the contract."
"Is this considered a breach of contract? Do you, Dongchen, want to go to war?" The second prince reacted and asked loudly.
"Just fight, who is afraid of whom? My father said, get out immediately." Xuanyuan Chen has been in chaos from last night to today.
Seeing his powerful and domineering father now, he felt that his father was still the same wise and powerful father.
"I, the prince, will go back and lead troops to fight until you beg for mercy, and take the initiative to use food to sue for peace." The second prince thought that they had won a battle a few years ago.
"Brother Second Emperor, Dongchen has bullied others too much. We can't just go back like this." The Sixth Princess panicked.
