Chapter 260 Looking for Food

The rolling smoke floated into the sky, rolling up Mars and ashes, and the sky was drooping.

The people of Guyuan all turned their heads to see the fires surging in the distance, which turned into sculptures for a moment, and their mood gradually fell to the bottom of the valley, showing despair.

Chen Ji stood on the eaves of the winery with a serious expression, staring at the border camp.

The next moment, a roar came from the border camp, and a huge explosion sounded across Guyuan, just like more than ten cannons of the Gate Gods Camp were fired at the same time.

Is it a firearm?

no!

Chen Ji watched the flames scattered and instantly swallowed a large area of ​​the camp... This was the appearance of dust explosion, and the flour in the border army camp exploded.

The border troops were indeed burning food!

At this time, someone downstairs cursed angrily: "Damn it, the border troops conscripted our grains and were burned by Jing Chaoxiu again?"

"Border army waste, food can't be watched, and they're even a big fight?"

"I said earlier that Hu Junxian can't fight at all, and the general of Guyuan should have changed long ago!"

Someone said sadly and angrily: "What's the use of saying this now? Guyuan is over! Everyone washes their necks and waits for Jing Chao's army to come in!"

"Let's go and ask the border army for an explanation!"

Before the Jingchao army was launched, the city of Guyuan was already in chaos.

Chen Ji watched the vast crowd rush towards the border camp, turned around and jumped far between the roofs.

When they were rushing back to Longmen Inn, Yulinjun was standing on Kucha Street, looking at the fire from afar, with a complex expression and taciturn words.

The people of Guyuan passed by them in groups, shouting to ask the border army for an explanation, and looked at Li Xuan carefully: "Brother-in-law, why should we also ask Hu Junxian, what exactly did their border army eat? "

Li Xuan glared at him fiercely: "Doesn't it be messy enough?"

They thought carefully and stammered their necks: "Aren't they all committed by the border troops? If they can return to the capital alive, they must ask their grandfather to study Hu Junxian's book!"

The prince said slowly, "Okay, let's go into the house first to count the food we bought today... Chen Ji is back?"

When he saw Chen Ji standing outside the crowd, he subconsciously looked at Chen Ji with both hands, but when he saw Chen Ji, he was empty, he was immediately disappointed.

The prince asked solemnly: "Did you find food?"

Chen Ji calmly replied: "Report to your highness, I didn't go to find food today, I've gone to do anything else."

Qi Jingju frowned: "What is more important than food now? If you don't look for food, why are you busy with your work?"

Chen Ji looked at him silently, but did not answer.

The prince sighed and said, "Now is not the time for colleagues to attack each other. Come into the house and say, don't let the people laugh."

Li Xuan stepped forward a few steps to lift the cotton curtain for the prince, and everyone entered in one after another.

In the main hall of the inn, the shopkeeper didn't know where he went, so Xiaowu was left alone on the counter and slept.

The prince and Li Xuan sat at an Eight Immortals table. In front of Li Xuan, there was an account book and asked the Yulin Jun in front of him: "How much food did you buy today?"

The Yulin Army soldiers bowed their heads: "Sir, I..."

Li Xuan said heavily: "Did you not buy any food today?"

The Yulin Army soldiers said ashamed: "Sir, I visited hundreds of people today. There is no surplus food in their families, so it is useless to give much money."

Li Xuan wanted to speak but stopped, but finally had to wave helplessly: "Next."

When the Yulin Army soldiers went out in the morning, they brought empty cloth bags, and when they came back, they brought empty cloth bags. Hundreds of people took turns to report the harvest. In the end, there was only a little bit of food on the Eight Immortals table.

Li Xuan stared at the cloth bags in front of him, then looked up at the Yulin Army: "Today, more than 400 people went out, and they only bought 12 kilograms of millet and 28 kilograms of yellow noodles. I cooked porridge tonight , I don’t know what to eat tomorrow morning…”

It was only the first day of the siege of the city, and the Yulin Army could not hold on.

Li Xuan looked around and said solemnly: "Now I'll go out and continue to look for food. If I can't find it, I won't sleep tonight. No matter what method you use, if you keep your hands empty, you won't have to come back!"

Chen Liqin suddenly added from the side: "But you should also pay attention to not doing anything that violates the laws of the country, and do not criticize Your Highness."

All respectfully raised their eyebrows: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean? You look down on the military discipline of my Yulin Army?"

Chen Liqin's expression darkened: "Deputy Envoy Qi, I don't have this intention. I just remind you to pay attention to methods when looking for food. The court and the country are staring at Your Highness. If you make a mistake, your Highness will be implicated by the historian. In the last sentence, how do people in the world view His Highness?”

Qi Jingju angrily scolded: "Mr. Chen is really standing and talking without any pain. Your servant bought food today, right? Why didn't you take it out and put it with everyone's food? Our brothers in the Yulin Army are brave the cold Feng Xunqi, your Chen family hides in the house to keep warm. Even if you and your wife are inconvenient, Chen Wenzong, Chen Wenxiao, Chen Ji must be with us, right?"

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "My eldest son, the second son are all Juren!"

He spitted on the ground with a mouthful of saliva: "Bah, what a bullshit Juren, I have too many Juren, is it rare? Ask me, the brother of Yulin Army, who has no Juren in the family?"

Wang Gui had to say something, but was stopped by Chen Wenzong.

Chen Wenzong clasped his fists and said, "Brother Qi is right. I will go out with you later to find food."

All of them sneered: "This is just like a human word! Also, take out the food you bought by the Chen family today, don't hide it!"

Liang comforted slowly, "The Chen family didn't buy much food today. They steamed a few steamed buns at noon and finished eating."

Qi Jingju raised his hand and pointed at Wang Gui: "No, I saw him hiding in the inn kitchen and eating steamed buns!"

Liang suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Gui with his eyes like a knife.

Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's unfair, Deputy Envoy Qi was wrong, the villain didn't keep his food privately."

Chen Liqin angrily scolded: "Don't you get out of your hidden food yet, or you will break your dog's legs!"

"Hey, go now!" Wang Gui rolled and crawled to the backyard.

...

...

In the hustle and bustle, Chen Ji'an stood quietly in the corner, staring at the beam of the room and thinking to himself. The shopkeeper said that the secret passage was under the wooden board at the counter. I wonder if it was true?

Was this fire done by the spy detective of Jing Chao or Bai Long's work?

Chen Ji didn't know the answer. He only knew that everything involved in the White Dragon would become confusing, and no one knew what would happen until the last moment.

He could only wait and see.

At this moment, when the prince saw that he was distracted, he suddenly asked, "Chen Ji, what have you been doing today?"

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!

Chen Ji shook his head: "Report to Your Highness, I'm going to find the traces of Jing Chao's spy."

The prince looked at him and said, "Can you find it?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

He caught Lao Wu today, killed the shopkeeper of the Yang family's fur shop, and found the secret spy department and Bai Long, but these must be kept a tight mouth to avoid breaking Bai Long's plan.

In the main hall, a Yulin Army sneered and said, "So, you are working in vain this day? Why not find some food? At least you don't have to be hungry. It's time to think about looking for a spy in Jing Chao, Do you use yourself as the twelve zodiac signs of the spy department?”

Chen Ji glanced at him without refuting.

He considered it together but was unreasonable: "You won't be hiding somewhere to be lazy this day, right? After your Highness appointed you as the Right Guard, you have not made any achievements. I advise you to be diligent and share your worries with you."

Chen Ji was silent for a long time, and finally bowed to the prince and said, "I originally thought that it was not difficult to find food. It should be enough for Yulin soldiers to find food. So I simply went to find the spy in Jing Chao, but did not take this matter seriously. I went up, but I didn't expect that so many people from the Yulin Army only brought back forty kilograms of food."

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet. Yu Linjun turned to look at Chen Ji, his eyebrows and eyes were calm.

Qi Jingju was furious: "Chan Ji, what do you mean?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "It's not interesting."

Li Xuan frowned: "Mr. Chen, don't show off your verbal pleasure. It's really not easy to find food now. Don't let yourself get out of Taiwan."

Chen Ji bowed and said to the prince, "Your Highness, I know where to find food, but this food is expensive, and I'm afraid you will have to spend money."

The prince hesitated for a moment: "Chen Ji, there is no need to worry about the price, but can you really find food? Don't worry, even if you can't find food, it's okay, so don't force it."

Chen Ji said calmly: "I will definitely find food, but I have a requirement."

Seeing that he was sure, the prince stopped persuading: "What are the requirements?"

Chen Ji pointed to the side and thought: "If I can buy forty kilograms of grain, Deputy Envoy Qi can call me Lord Chen when he sees me."

He sneered and said, "What a shame to brag about? If you can really find me, why bother me to call you Lord Chen?"

Chen Ji nodded: "One word is certain."

After saying that, he looked at the prince: "Your Highness, now forty kilograms of grain may require 400 taels of silver to buy it. This silver..."

If it were put on ordinary days, forty cows, eighty mules, and forty thousand eight thousand kilograms of grain could be bought forty cows for four hundred taels of silver. Now that life is at stake, the prince doesn't care about these things.

He glanced at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan took out a string of Buddhist treasures from his sleeve and handed them to Chen Ji: "This is five hundred taels, as long as you can buy it, the silver is easy to say."

Chen Ji took the Buddhist Tongbao, turned around and lifted the curtain and walked out of the inn.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "Border Army killed people! Border Army killed people!"

"Run!"

The dense footsteps came, and countless Guyuan people ran past Kucha Street, and there were still people with blood splattered on them.

Chen Ji grabbed someone and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why did the border army kill people?"

The man who was pulled over explained in a panic: "We went to the border camp to ask for an explanation. Somehow, someone moved away from the border camp and rushed towards the camp. The border camp turned against each other and killed one. I'm afraid I've killed hundreds of people!"

Chen Ji looked at the setting sun gradually sinking behind the city and said nothing for a long time.

Someone rammed into the military camp, and the border troops should kill the chicken to warn the monkey and cut the mess with a quick knife.

But this is just the first day of the siege.
