Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 64 What kind of life?
  Xu Yihuan narrowed her eyes and looked up. Lieutenant General Du was looking at her not far away with complicated eyes.

Xu Yihuan nodded slightly to Xiaochun: "Let's go back."

Magistrate Liu no longer forced Xu Yihuan to stay to see other places, and followed Xu Yihuan into Xiaocheng.

Vice General Du rode his horse in front, followed by Xu Yihuan, Magistrate Liu, and Xiaochun. They did not speak a word along the way.

As evening approaches, most of the market in Xiaocheng has closed. The vendors and pedestrians on the street are walking in a hurry, with expressions ranging from joy to helplessness. The waiter of the restaurant and inn stands at the door and looks at the people walking around. When he sees the people wearing armor, The soldier immediately stopped talking.

On the first day of business, the already depressed inn was now cast in a bleak shadow.

Xu Yihuan frowned slightly and said: "The closure of Xiaocheng for four months will have the greatest impact on the inn?"

Without the merchants coming and going, the impact of the inn should be the greatest. County Magistrate Liu raised his head slightly when he heard this and said: "On the day of the closure of the city, there were still foreign merchants who were blocked in the city. The business of the inn will not be affected too much. But now, After the opening of Xiaocheng, the merchants left immediately, and the inns became empty all of a sudden, making it difficult to do business at this time."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, he suddenly realized that this was really the case.

The merchants will definitely take this opportunity to run away.

"What about the people in the city?" Xu Yihuan thought about the fact that Xiaocheng had been without food for four months, but when he saw the scene on the street, he never saw people dying of hunger, not even a homeless person or a beggar.

Magistrate Liu's expression changed slightly and he said: "Don't you know, Captain Xu? There are six levels of promotion, and ordinary people are not qualified to appear on this street."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, his expression changed drastically.

"Where should that appear?"

Magistrate Liu reined in his horse and looked at Xu Yihuan blankly. Xu Yihuan also reined in his horse. The two stopped and looked at each other.

Xu Yihuan understood in her heart.

"Go, go."

-

The Jin army's camp outside.

The injuries of King Pingzhang and the Fifth Prince have healed a lot, and King Pingzhang can barely sit up.

The Sixth Prince had been angry and frightened for the past two days. After Yeshang captured Xiaocheng, he did not send anyone to report the situation.

He felt itchy when he thought that Yeshang led an army of 100,000 into Xiaocheng. Xiaocheng was a wealthy city that accounted for nearly one-third of Jin's tax revenue.

The Sixth Prince, who had been tricked by Captain Xu into taking away hundreds of thousands of taels of food and salary, was very angry, but he did not dare to show it in front of his two elder brothers.

The doctor has emphasized many times that he cannot be stimulated or stimulated. He is really afraid that his two brothers will be disabled and paralyzed accidentally, so he can only endure it by himself.

Early this morning, he ordered the guards outside the camp to go to Xiaocheng to buy ingredients and vegetables, preparing to supplement the two royal brothers' health and strive for a speedy recovery.

Who knew that more than a dozen people were sent, but they only brought a few vegetable leaves when they came back.

Not even a piece of meat was looked at.

He looked at Sheila's white porridge in the bowl, feeling very sad.

"Brother, please use more. The doctor said that it is not advisable to take supplements at this time, and you should mainly eat light food." This reason was the result of the sixth prince thinking for two hours. He put the pot where he could not buy meat. It's always right to recommend it to the doctor.

King Pingzhang "popped" and spit out the rice grains in his mouth.

I have been eating porridge for two days in a row, without even a side dish, and my mouth is almost dull.

I don't know what the doctor was thinking about. He was obviously weak and had to drink porridge. If the sixth emperor brother hadn't said it himself, he would have thought that the sixth brother was neglecting him.

The fifth prince swallowed hard. If he had known better, he would not have rewarded the soldiers with the ingredients sent by Vice General Cui. At this moment, he was feeling very aggrieved as he drank the white porridge.

Since arriving in the border town, when have the three of them ever wronged themselves?

There was no food in the camp, and the food for the three of them was a constant supply of vegetables and meat. The fifth prince felt depressed at the moment, but he did not dare to be too angry. Thinking that he might be paralyzed, he closed his eyes to stop himself from thinking about these things. In the camp, besides the Sixth Prince who was angry, Marshal Xue was also furious at the moment.

He also ate coarse grains with the army officers for several months, and he rarely ate roasted mutton.

I finally waited until Xiaocheng was defeated. I wanted to buy some meat to come back for the tooth festival, but I ordered people to go to the city for shopping and only bought a few vegetable leaves.

Vice General Cui drank the porridge and felt that his body was about to collapse.

He said with a mournful face: "Uncle, when I return to Kyoto, I will definitely invite you to the Fengyue Tower to eat it for three days and three nights."

Fengyuelou is the largest and best restaurant in Kyoto. There are many beauties in the restaurant and there are countless delicious dishes. There are 108 ways to cook the roasted mutton alone, which can create different flavors.

When Marshal Xue heard this, he recalled the beautiful women's food and drinks at Fengyue Tower. He pursed his lips unconsciously and swallowed again.

"Xiao Cheng is so rich, how come he can't buy meat?" Marshal Xue looked at Vice General Cui with suspicion. He thought that Vice General Cui was worried about money, so he wouldn't let his uncle eat it.

Vice General Cui felt aggrieved and said with a slumped face: "Uncle, don't look at me like that."

"I have already asked. Today, in order to cook for Captain Xu, King Jin and County Magistrate Liu buried the entire street of Xiaocheng with ingredients."

He said: "My nephew just didn't buy it." He looked at Marshal Xue with an aggrieved look.

He didn't expect his uncle to see him like this. Today at the Xiaocheng market, there were three princes who could not buy meat like him.

"The three princes don't have any meat to eat," Vice General Cui muttered.

When Marshal Xue heard this, his sad face suddenly turned into a smile. He didn't like the three princes either, but when he thought that those three people couldn't eat meat, he felt better.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Marshal Xue frowned, and then asked: "Did King Jin deal with the prisoners captured by the guards?"

Vice Admiral Cui said: "It's been arranged for them to build their own duel camp to fight."

When Marshal Xue heard this, his face turned dark and he said, "Doesn't that mean we have to leave some of it?"

The Jin army, like the Wei army, had only two choices every time they captured prisoners. A few prisoners would be taken to be slaves and do hard labor.

If a large number of 5 soldiers were captured like this, they would normally be buried in pits.

Let the prisoners enter the duel camp. After 100 rounds of duels, all the dead soldiers will be selected. The dead soldiers will have a chance to return to the army.

The authority of King Jin has become higher and higher, and now the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including His Majesty, are all afraid of King Jin.

The plan of selecting dead soldiers in the prisoner camp, and then using them for Ye Shang's use after the selection, was really a smooth plan.

Marshal Xue's face darkened slightly, he paused and said, "Have you ever gone to see what round the duel has reached?"

Vice General Cui said nonchalantly: "Uncle, what do you want them to do with those desperate warriors? Select one hundred people out of fifty thousand people. Do you dare to use such people?"

Marshal Xue's heart trembled!
  He doesn't dare to use it. It's true that he doesn't dare to use it.

In the end, the 100 dead soldiers left behind had eaten the blood of their companions, and their hands were stained with the lives of their companions. Only the King of Jin dared to use such people.

He never used it.

The Jin Army and the Guard Army have been fighting for more than ten years, and the Guard Army does not treat prisoners of the Jin Army much better than this.

Normally, it's because they don't want to waste money and food, so they directly kill people.

He didn't expect that King Jin had the idea of ​​​​bribing dead soldiers.
