Chapter 215 Where did the food go?

Early the next morning, Li Chi packed up his things and prepared to accompany him. Zhuang Wudi also wanted to follow Li Chi and couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you worried?"

Li Chi nodded: "It must be uneasy. It would be strange if there is no problem when it comes to business for no reason."

Zhuang Wudi said: "Since you think there is something wrong, why do you still need to take on this business?"

Li Chi said: "Because what he wants to transport should be real food."

Zhuang Wudi said: "The grain at this time is mostly official grain... Pingchang County is the closest county to Jizhou, and it is also the southern gate of Jizhou. Shengchang Grain Store goes to Pingchang County to transport grain, and wants to transport official grain to Jizhou. In other words, Jizhou is short of food now?"

Li Chi nodded: "This is why I don't want money and food. If Jizhou starts to lack food..."

Zhuang Wudi pondered for a moment: "Prince Yu is not far from raising a army. He has plenty of food and grass. The soldiers are not in a hurry to move. The food and grass are almost gone. If he doesn't raise a army, he will not even be able to support the soldiers."

He was a little puzzled: "Suddenly there was not much food in stock, there was a problem."

Li Chi said: "So I want to see if there is really not much food in Jizhou City, we might have to leave here."

Zhuang Wudi immediately became happy: "That's not much."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wouldn't there be any problem if you don't go to the academy?"

Li Chi said: "I... Li Chi has become a person I hate. I actually rely on my relationship with Mr. Yan to skip class for three days and have no plans to take leave."

Zhuang Wudi: "So you hate Xiahou Zhuo so much."

Li Chi: "..."

When they were talking, everyone had already packed up the convoy, and thirty large cars were ready to go, with thirty coachmen and 60 knights, which almost made Yongning Tongyuan empty their assets.

Just as the team was about to set off, Manager Su from Shengchang Grain Store arrived. He seemed very worried and led about twenty people to join Li Chi and the others, and the team of the Grain Store was protected by someone from another escort agency.

Li Chi glanced at Manager Su's dress. Although he was still a long robe, he looked bloated than yesterday. He guessed that he had put armor in his clothes.

Li Chi felt that this trip might be more difficult than expected.

If the food in Jizhou is short of food, we dare not let the army blatantly transport it to the granary of Pingchang County. On the one hand, it is afraid of causing panic among the people of Pingchang County, and on the other hand, it is even more afraid of causing panic among the people of Jizhou City.

Before leaving, Li Chi said to Zhuang Wudi: "Be careful, if the situation is wrong, leave."

The team left Jizhou City in a mighty manner. The people in the grain store seemed to be particularly important. When they left the city, a young man from the grain store greeted him casually, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately let him go, not even checking.

At the same time, Pingchang County.

Seven or eight people wearing casual clothes but carrying weapons were guarding outside a house, each with solemn expressions. They seemed to be afraid of something, and everyone's eyes were a little panicked.

In the house, a middle-aged man who looked in his forties was packing things in the yard. He sorted and packed books one by one, and seemed to care about them to the extreme.

He is thin and tall, so the clothes look a little fat on him, and there are several patches on the clothes. I don’t know how many years have passed this long gown. It is very old, but it is clean. It was originally blue, but now it has become moon white.

"grown ups."

A young man in his twenties came in from outside the yard and walked quickly to the middle-aged man and lowered his head and said, "The carriage and horse have arrived, we have to leave as soon as possible."

The one who is called the adults is Yue Huanian, the county magistrate of Pingchang County.

He has been a county magistrate in Pingchang County for 16 years. Logically speaking, he should have been promoted long ago, but he will neither flatter or flatter, and just bow his head to do things. For the past 16 years, everyone in Pingchang County has felt very at ease because of him.

There were already many bandits outside the city. Yue Huanian called on the people to form a volunteer militia. He personally led the militia to repel three times.

He does not know martial arts, but he never remains behind others.

The young man named Qiu Qingche, who was the captain of Pingchang County. He was originally a wandering warrior. After arriving in Pingchang County, he learned that Yue Huanian was an official, so he ran to recommend himself and said he was willing to be Yue Huanian's personal bodyguard.

Yue Huanian replied to his first words at that time...I don’t have the money to hire you.

Qiu Qingche asked him, "Do you care about the food?"

Yue Huanian replied that he didn't eat well.

Qiu Qingche smiled and said that's fine.

In this way, two people who had no intersection had an intersection. Qiu Qingche became the captain of the county government in the fourth year of Pingchang County. In the third year, the people were used to calling him Lord Che, not Lord Qiu.

Because the people all say that in Pingchang County, Lord Yue is the handsome, Qiu Qingche is the chariot, and the people are willing to be Lord Yue's sabbaticals.

Yue Huanian looked at the boxes, then looked at the carriage that arrived outside the door. After a moment of silence, he picked up a few books from one of the boxes, and his face was filled with a deep pain.

"No."

He said.

Qiu Qingche's face changed: "Sir, these are your most precious books, how can you not want them?"

Yue Huanian said: "It's too heavy, and the carriages can't run. These boxes of books are indeed like life for me, but compared with you, the books can be abandoned as easily as a feather."

Qiu Qingche was also very clear that with such heavy things, the carriages and horses must be slow. God knows when those people will come.

"Let's go."

Yue Huanian glanced at the boxes of books again and shook his head, "I hope it can fall into the hands of a book lover, rather than being burned by someone to warm the kang."

He stepped out, and seven or eight guards immediately stepped forward. Just as Yue Huanian was about to get on the car, several feather arrows came quickly from the darkness without any response, and the two guards were shot by feather arrows.

"Mr. Yue, are you leaving?"

A lean and thin middle-aged man turned from the street. Yue Huanian was already very thin, but his skeleton was relatively large, so the thinness was not too ugly, and this person seemed to be skinny.

He was wearing a very gorgeous dress, which looked particularly expensive, which was in sharp contrast to the patched clothes on Yue Huanian.

Some men in black appeared on the surrounding houses, holding bows and arrows, and aimed at Yue Huanian and others from a high place.

Yue Huanian looked at the middle-aged man, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Liu Yingzhan, you are just a businessman in the grain store business, but you are so rampant in front of me."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No wonder you have been a county magistrate for sixteen years. If you are smarter, you will not be unable to climb up in a single step."

He said as he walked, "I won't stop you from leaving, but you have to explain clearly that the food in the official warehouse is reduced by half. Where is this half of the food?"

Yue Huanian sneered: "What does the food in the official warehouse have to do with you?"

"Mr. Yue, let me tell you clearly. If you don't say where the food is, it's ugly to die."

Yue Huanian was still talking, but Qiu Qingche had already pulled him: "Sir, get in the car."

He stepped forward and stood in front of Yue Huanian, pulled out his long sword and said, "Today

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Our life and death can be ignored and we can protect the adults from leaving the city."

"yes!"

The remaining guards responded and drew their swords in their hands.

"Kill out!"

Qiu Qingche gave the order, and he jumped onto the carriage and shook the reins. The horse neighed and rushed forward.

The feather arrows were put down around, and the guards used long swords to slash the feather arrows. They would rather be caught by themselves than let a feather arrow shoot into the carriage.

Liu Yingzhan looked at the carriage that he bumped into and sighed, "It turns out that it's even stupider than I thought."

The carriage was about to hit him, and the man, who looked as thin as a bamboo pole, reached out and pushed the horse's face, and then pressed it down with one hand.

The slow horse pulling the cart screamed in surprise, but could not hold on to Liu Yingzhan's pressure, and his front legs couldn't help but kneel down. However, the strength was not enough, and Liu Yingzhan pressed the horse's head to the ground.

When he let go of his hand, blood was covered with blood on his five fingers, and all five fingers pierced into the horse's head and face.

The carriage came to an abrupt end. Liu Yingzhan grabbed one of the shafts and broke it to the side. With a click, the thick wood was broken directly. The broken mouth was as sharp as a gun, and it stabbed hard into the carriage.

Qiu Qingche kicked half of the shaft, and the long knife swept across Liu Yingzhan's neck. Liu Yingzhan retreated, and his body fell lightly like a leaf to the distance.

But because of his actions, the archers around him dared not shoot arrows at will.

"A little headmaster dares to stop me?"

Liu Yingzhan looked down at the blood on his hands and said carelessly: "If you know the current affairs, you will catch Yue Huanian. From now on, you will feel much more comfortable following me than following a poor county magistrate."

Qiu Qingche turned around and said, "Sir, get off the car and follow me immediately. Liu Yingzhan dared not shoot arrows easily."

After saying that, a little under his feet broke out and a ball of hard soil was blown up.

The long sword swept across, and Liu Yingzhan retreated again, and the knife was lost.

Liu Yingzhan, who had taken a big step back, seemed to be tied with an invisible rope. The rope was extremely elastic and had just landed on the ground, but he could return to Qiu Qingche lightly.

"You can't."

Liu Yingzhan said: "If you don't have martial arts skills, you won't have brains."

Qiu Qingche didn't say a word, and slashed it with another knife. Liu Yingzhan moved aside. The moment the knife fell, he grabbed Qiu Qingche's neck with his palm.

Qiu Qingche did not dodge significantly, avoided his head to one side, and raised his shoulder to hit Liu Yingzhan's five fingers.

Liu Yingzhan's eyes lit up: "Childish."

With a puff, his five fingers grabbed Qiu Qingche's shoulder.

Qiu Qingche's eyes lit up, but he also had a look.

His knife was removed from his hand, and his other hand caught it in the air. His left hand knife was lifted from bottom to top, leaving a long blade on Liu Yingzhan's body with a puff.

The gorgeous brocade garment was cut open, revealing a dark golden soft armor.

Qiu Qingche's face changed.

"I said, you are so naive."

Liu Yingzhan looked at Yue Huanian who got out of the carriage, smiled again and said, "Mr. Yue, you can't get rid of it. Either you tell me where you have gone, or I will tear you apart one by one, one by one," he said.

Qiu Qingchelan: "You are actually quite childish."

Liu Yingzhan was stunned. He suddenly woke up and looked down. He saw that the soft armor had been cut into a hole.

He looked at Qiu Qingche's knife.
