"Why does Third Master Dou speak like this?"

"There are at least 800,000 dan of grain stored in the granary. Even if the granary is lost now, the enemies in the dark will not be able to transport the grain away in a short time." said a member of the Fan family on the side.

"That's right. Once we've cleared out the monsters outside, we can go in and get the food. This is an emergency right now, and only your Dou family has food. When the time comes, we'll recapture the granary and compensate you based on the losses..."

The Fan family members all looked unhappy, and they had to persuade them patiently.

Who made their family lose their belongings and granary, and also attracted all the monsters to Huayin County? The Dou family was able to open the city gate to respond in time and help them eliminate the monsters.

No matter how you look at it, they are in the wrong.

The Gong family is small, three of them are missing, and their base is in Lu's. No news has been received yet, so it is not easy to say anything.

King Cheng'an sat at the top, watching them quarrel silently.

The two counselors standing beside him looked at each other, and they both tended to believe that these three families were putting on a show for them.

The three great families were in collusion with each other and spoke with one voice. They said they were reluctant to give up the food, but in fact they were reluctant to share the food with the two armies.

So from the very beginning, King Cheng'an intended not to participate in their conversation.

Go ahead and argue, argue as much as you want.

Anyway, if you dare not give him food, he will immediately turn against you.

If it weren't for him and King Hedong's protection, how could those people who escaped from Hongnong County have reached Huayin smoothly?

Having received his kindness, how dare you refuse to pay it back?

Oh.

really.

The Dou family member then changed the subject and bowed to the leader, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Your Highness. We are also forced to do this. Now we are trapped in the city. We have so little food to feed so many people. I, the Dou family, am really powerless..."

Prince Cheng'an said "hmm" lightly and did not express any opinion.

The people below are all juniors, and it is not worth it for him to lower his status and negotiate in person.

Master Dou San thought for a moment and said, "It's not that we don't want to give up the food. The Cheng'an Army has made great efforts this time. The soldiers have held the city wall and killed monsters. This food should be given to them. We can't let them starve."

"But what's going on with the Hedong Army?! They're not participating in the encirclement and suppression of the monsters. Are they all just waiting for us to feed them?" Third Master Dou was filled with righteous indignation. "The Cheng'an Army has contributed manpower and effort, but they're just reaping the benefits from behind. We feel so sorry for His Highness!!!"

Everyone knows that Princess Hedong is missing.

But they also lost six people.

Just because people are missing, the monsters won't be cleaned up?!

"Mr. Dou San is right. We worked so hard to protect those grains. When monsters besiege the city, we should all work together. But the Hedong Army is doing this. Not only us, but our subordinates are also dissatisfied." The Fan family interrupted at the right time.

The two counselors standing on the left and right of King Cheng'an - Jiang Xun and Xiao Cheng - looked at each other and both of them understood.

This was such an obvious divisive tactic. The monsters outside the city hadn't even been cleared out yet, yet they were trying to split the two armies.

They only found out later that the two young men of the Hedong Army were the newly enthroned King of Hedong and the Princess of Hedong.

The two are twins, a dragon and a phoenix.

With his sister missing and the army suffering heavy casualties, it would be strange for the King of Hedong to have the mood to care about these people.

It doesn’t matter to them whether the Hedong Army works or not.

Anyway, they don’t need to provide food.

The area within the city wall is so small that it cannot accommodate so many people. This small problem is not enough to cause them to turn against the Hedong Army.

"Why don't you say this to me in person?" A voice suddenly came from the door.

Yuan Jing, wearing a green cloak, slowly walked into the main hall.

Seeing the real owner coming, everyone present was speechless.

Anyone would feel embarrassed if they were caught talking about someone behind their back.

Master Dou San glared at the butler beside him, wondering why the servants didn't inform him in advance that someone was coming, allowing him to walk in so openly. He just happened to hear these words.

The butler lowered his head and said nothing.

The King of Hedong was of noble status, so no servant at the door dared to stop him.

And didn’t they notify everyone to come to the Dou Mansion to discuss things?

It’s just that the King of Hedong didn’t come over for the past two days.

Although he thought so, the butler did not dare to refute it.

The group bowed and saluted, "Greetings to His Highness Hedong!"

Yuan Jing didn't even glance at him. He walked into the room and bowed to the emperor. "Uncle, please forgive me. I have something to deal with, so I am late."

Prince Cheng'an smiled amiably and said, "That's all right. Is there any news about Ah Jin?"

Logically speaking, Yuan Jing had already succeeded to the throne, and the two were equals, so there was no need to pay respect to him.

But since the youngster was so sensible, he naturally had to give him enough face.

Yuan Jing remained silent and did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I have a plan to find out who is behind this."

As soon as the words fell.

The hall fell silent.

Yuan Jing looked indifferent as he turned to look at Mr. Dou Sanye, "Where is Mr. Dou?"

"The clan leader is not feeling well and cannot see guests. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Mr. Dou San replied in a stiff tone.

Yuan Jing sneered, "Then please inform Lord Dou. This matter requires the cooperation of the three great families. If Lord Dou doesn't come forward, I dare not cooperate with a group of people who gossip and backstab me."

Mr. Dou Sanye's face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute.

Prince Cheng'an smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Alright, go inform Lord Dou, and those who are not involved should leave first."

Yuan Jing didn't answer his question just now.

He naturally thought that Princess Hedong had not been found yet and had been missing for several days, and she was probably in great danger.

We must not rub salt into other people's wounds at this time. The real thing is to catch the person behind the scenes as soon as possible and take back the granary.

………

Yuan Jin, who was described by King Cheng'an as being in "more danger than good", was now staying in a warm room, warming himself by the fire, playing with the wooden whistle given by Gong Liulang.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Wu Niang's life is better than our Hedong Kingdom."

The two soldiers beside him nodded repeatedly.

Wei was very generous to them, providing them with enough food and wood, and even giving each of them two thick quilts.

The row of houses here have been renovated, and firewood is burned under the earthen kang. People stay in the house all day and don't want to go out at all.

"But what do you think? Should I visit the real owner of the county?" Yuan Jin asked the soldier beside him.

The soldier replied respectfully, "Your Highness is a noble lady, and it is only right that they should come to visit you."

Yuan Jin held his chin in thought after hearing this.

That's the reason.

But I have been here for several days and no one has come.

She finally figured out that those living in the west of the city were Miss Wei's people, and those living in the east of the city were the owners of this county town.

The relationship between the two sides is very delicate. Although the relationship is good, the two sides in the city do not interfere with each other, and the east and west sides of the city do not interact with each other.

It’s not like they have a good relationship, but they get along so harmoniously that they are even willing to hand over the city defense to Miss Wei. This shows their complete trust in her. It’s completely hard to understand what the two parties are thinking.

"I don't understand. Forget it. I'm too lazy to think about it. Let's go out and practice sword." Yuan Jin was too lazy to care about these things.

She recently saw the female army training and decided to join them, but no one cared about her. She could train when she wanted to and rest when she wanted to.

"The messenger should be here."

Yuan Jin said, "We must fight back and take revenge. I want to see who is behind this!"
