Chapter 419
After Chu Lixuan ordered Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu, he ordered Chu Yi to put 20,000 pigs into the same cages where the horses were last time, and count two months' worth of rice for the Zhenbei Army.
Jiang Xinyan waited for him to give instructions, then pulled him to the city wall. Listening to the exchange process, Wei Dabin's melodious voice moved even her.
What a pity! We were too far away to see their expressions, otherwise it would have been even more exciting, but I could also hear a lot of helplessness and sadness from Bingpo's voice.
"Hey! Even if the imperial court doesn't pay military salaries, it still forces the King of Zhenbei to hand over food to the imperial court. No wonder he has fallen." Jiang Xinyan complained.
"Dongchen Kingdom has been in constant war for the past ten years. It has been unable to make ends meet, the treasury is empty, and the people are suffering even more. This locust plague is the last straw that breaks the camel's back."
There is a lot to say about Chu Lixuan and his little wife. He is just an ordinary man, and all the talk of being cold and unkind is just a cloud.
"Husband, we still live together as a couple, close the city gate and live our stable life, and no longer participate in the affairs of the court."
Jiang Xinyan felt that this robbery was too impulsive. If a flaw was revealed, North Vietnam would not let them go!
She just wants to farm, run a farm, and feed the people around her. There are so many people in the world, and they can't save them just by the strength of their husband and wife.
"Well, the people of the world are what the emperor should worry about, Xinxin, but if we want to be alone, it is impossible."
"We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. If the emperor dares to come and steal our food, we will not be afraid. Starting tomorrow, we will ask them to train for three hours a day and do farm work for two hours."
Jiang Xinyan was led astray again without knowing it, but in these troubled times, it is always necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
Chu Lixuan looked at her affectionately. She was still so kind and understood him very well. He even felt that she knew his thoughts.
In fact, Chu Lixuan didn't want the world of Dongchen Kingdom. If he wasn't afraid that Emperor Dongchen would be despicable, he really didn't want to make plans, which would be tiring for others and himself.
However, Emperor Dongchen knew that he was doing well and would definitely unite with the other three countries to deal with him.
Chu Lixuan knew Xuanyuan Qi too well. He would rather destroy what he couldn't get than let others have an easy time.
Therefore, he wanted to seize North Vietnam's war horses and severely damage Uritu, and he wanted to give grain seeds to General Zhenxi.
It would never be the same as last time. He thought that if he was disabled, Xuanyuan Qi would let him go and catch him off guard.
Fortunately, he met her, and he must protect her. It's not that he didn't want to tell her everything, but he didn't want her to worry.
If he works hard to farm at night, problems that can be solved with food are no longer problems. Chu Lixuan feels that using food to win people's hearts is much better than using force to solve it.
"Xinxin is mighty and domineering. After listening to your words, I am no longer afraid of my husband. These disabled soldiers who came this time are all fierce generals and strong soldiers."
Chu Lixuan's eyes and brows were all smiling, and his tender and doting eyes made Jiang Xinyan addicted to it and unable to extricate herself.
"Master, the grain and pigs are ready, should we send them out now?" Chu Yi's voice broke the warm scene.
"Send them directly to the gate of Zhenbei Military Camp. These more than a thousand horses cannot be given to the King of Zhenbei. Unload the grain and pigs and bring back the pig cages and horses."
Chu Lixuan gave the order as if nothing had happened, not at all embarrassed, but rather a bit angry at being disturbed.
Jiang Xinyan's old face turned red, she looked away and continued to look at the crowd forty miles away, haha! In the blink of an eye, there was a lot of crying and howling.
It turned out that the men were so moved that they burst into tears. Maybe they didn’t know what to say, so they just hugged each other and cried.
Wei Dabin is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, but now he doesn't know what to do. He has prepared many sensational words and hasn't said them yet!
The above are just appetizers, as my wife told me. Seeing the soldiers' hard work and merit, I and my wife are willing to exchange the food.
These people started crying when they heard the previous words. Is there any need to say the next words? Wei Dabin asked Zhao Yu with his eyes.
Zhao Yu: I am a bad person and I don’t know if I should tell you. Don’t ask me.
Wei Dabin: It’s so difficult for me. I can’t even pretend to be awesome!
While the two people were making eye contact, the clatter of horse hooves came from the castle, but those who were holding their heads and crying had not yet heard it.
Zhao Yu said: "Brother Bingpo, our master has sent people to deliver food. Please give us those who want to stay."
Bingpo also heard the sound of horse hooves, and he was extremely surprised. Zhennan Marquis actually had so many horses? Where did their horses come from?
The horse they brought the meal to just now is still waiting on the side of the road pulling a flatbed cart. How many horses are coming out here!
"The people in the carriage and those lying down are the ones who stayed, and the people standing are the ones who sent them... over." Bingpo spoke softer and quieter.
Healthy people are the ones who want to return to their Zhenbei military camp, while those who can't walk or move are the ones who exchange food.
"Those who don't want to stay, please go back with your Lord Bingpo. The amount of food exchange will remain unchanged. You all should be gentle and move those who are determined to stay onto the flatbed truck, and be careful not to cause a second harm."
Wei Dabin imitated their wife's tone of command. Whether to stay or not was just a matter of thought, but their fates were completely different.
"Those bowls and chopsticks..." Before Bingpo's men could finish speaking, they were interrupted by Wei Lubin.
"Just leave the dishes and chopsticks on the roadside. We'll clean them up later. It's important to take the person back for treatment first."
Bing Po: "..." Now it's time to protect him!
"Uu~uh~" Chu Yi stopped his horse, "Who did King Zhenbei send here to exchange food?"
"Bingpo has met brother, may I ask what your name is?" Bingpo has been clamoring for half his life, but now he has to stay humble.
"My surname is Chu. I am ranked number one. Bingpo, you and others will lead the way. We will escort you back." Chu Yi knew Bingpo, so he didn't make things difficult for him.
"Thank you, Brother Chu." Bingpo said and didn't want to ask any more questions. It seemed like they wanted to send food there.
Bingpo felt that they could escort the food back by themselves. There were no bandits in this area. Even if there were thieves, Bingpo would not be afraid.
However, because he had good intentions and perhaps wanted to collect the reward from the prince, Bingpo said goodbye to Wei Huaicheng, turned around and left with his men and those who had temporarily regretted their actions.
All the carriages of King Zhenbei were given to the wounded soldiers who had gone back on their word. They were thinking proudly that they would eat white rice every day when they went back.
The wounded who were left behind were all sitting or lying on flatbed carts, and Zhou Daniu and Zhu Qinglin led their men, the food delivery people, on horses towards the castle.
Wei Lubin supported Wei Huaicheng and stood on the side of the road, watching Chu Yi and the others loading hundreds of pig cages on flatbed trucks, as well as grain, as they headed towards the border town. The horses kicked up a cloud of dust and left.
Only then did Wei Dabin walk up to his sixth uncle: "I've met my sixth uncle. Let me help you ride a carriage into the city."
"Going into the city? Besides Youzhou City, is there any other city here?" Wei Huaicheng asked his nephew politely.
