Chapter 163 Youning, are you a little glutton?
Watching Huo Yun'an take Feng Youcheng away, Yu Youning skipped over to Chu Huaishan and said, "Master, he didn't tell the truth just now."
"Oh?" Chu Huaishan said with a rising tone, "Then tell me, why didn't he tell the truth?"
"The river is flowing! He poured the poison into the water, and it was washed away immediately. At this time, almost no one would come to fetch water. By the time the people came out to fetch water tomorrow morning, the poisoned water would have already flowed out of the city, and the people in the city would not be poisoned. If they really wanted to poison the people in the city, shouldn't they have poured it directly into the well?"
Huo Qingchen was stunned when he heard this. "Youning, how could you think of this? Why didn't I think of this?"
"Because you're stupid!" Yu Youning answered as a matter of course.
Huo Qingchen just felt unwell all over. He touched his nose and dared not speak anymore.
Chu Huaixu also said at this time, "This river not only flows through Liangcheng, but also passes through many other cities, and who knows how many people it supports. Even if the poison is spilled in, it will be diluted by the river water, but if the people take it home and eat it, they will still be poisoned, it's just a matter of how much. They want to kill not only the people of Liangcheng, but also the rest of Dayong!"
Chu Huaishan showed a look of satisfaction, "Not bad, you two have even thought of these things, you are quite smart."
Huo Qingchen, "..."
Doesn't this just mean that his brain is not enough?
But this seems to be true!
Huo Qingchen shook his head, shaking out the messy thoughts in his mind.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have enough brains, he still has Youning and the prince, all he needs is enough fists!
"Valley Master, what should we do next?"
Huo Qingchen asked, eager to try.
Xiliang has come up with a way to get rid of this evil, they can't afford to suffer this loss, right?
at the same time.
Wen Shiyan and others gathered in the study again.
Wen Shiyan drank half a pot of boiled water in one breath, wiped his mouth casually, and then told the information he had found out.
"The Xiliang army is publicly marching on the border, but in reality, it's just a way to attract attention. As long as you focus all your attention on the army approaching, you will inevitably overlook the strange things happening inside the city. They just want to use this method to inflict a heavy blow on Dayong without sacrificing a single soldier."
"Despicable!"
Wen Beiyao slammed the table so hard that it broke into pieces.
This shows how furious he was at that moment.
"Xiliang is so despicable. Why not open the city gates and charge straight in? Let's put a damper on their arrogance and let them know that we are not to be trifled with!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei shook his head and said, "No. We can't take the initiative to send troops."
If you want to send troops, you must have a legitimate reason.
Xiliang has no legitimate reason for not taking any action.
If the two countries go to war, there will be devastating suffering.
No one wants to start a war first unless it is absolutely necessary.
It would be fine if we could win in the end, but if we lose, we will lose all our dignity and face.
Wen Beiyao was also angry just now, so he said that.
Now after hearing what Zhenbei Hou said, he calmed down.
"Are we just going to waste time like this?"
This is too frustrating!
Yu Tingwan smiled slightly at this time. "If we really want to waste time, who can afford it more? Before the army moves, food and fodder must go first. How much food and fodder does the Xiliang army need to set up camp on the border every day? If their food and fodder are gone, can they still sit still?"
Wen Beiyao's eyes lit up instantly, "Sister-in-law, do you mean that we should set fire to their food supplies?"
"Why burn the food?" Yu Tingwan asked with a smile, "What a waste! The food is hard to come by, how can we burn it? We just saw that they had too much food and couldn't finish it, so we helped them share it."
"Stealing food?"
Wen Beiyao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
It's not that he's surprised by something he hasn't seen before, but this is simply too unbelievable.
It is not easy to send people to burn the food and grass, so how can we steal the food and grass when we are surrounded by the Xiliang army?
This is simply impossible!
...
After Huo Qingchen asked what to do, he looked at Chu Huaishan eagerly.
But Chu Huaishan looked at Yu Youning with a smile, "Youning, do you have any ideas?"
Yu Youning thought for a moment, "They want to use water to harm people. How wicked! Water is the source of life. If they don't value water, they certainly don't value food. I think we should steal all their food and let them starve for a while, so that they can clear their minds."
Huo Qingchen felt that he understood every word Yu Youning said.
But after putting these words together, Huo Qingchen felt a little confused.
"Steal food? Youning, you don't mean to steal their food supplies, do you? That's too... How is that even possible?"
Food and fodder are so important that they are kept in the rear of the army and heavily guarded.
It would be a problem for them to sneak through, let alone steal so much food.
How is this different from dreaming?
No!
He wouldn't even dream of doing that!
"Of course we can't rely on humans to steal!" Yu Youning glanced at Huo Qingchen with a smile, "But we can let Teng Snake steal it!"
"What?"
Huo Qingchen's eyes widened, "Let Teng Snake steal food?"
Teng Snake is a divine beast!
How could a divine beast become a thief?
Besides, isn’t it said that mythical beasts are not allowed to participate in the struggle between the Three Kingdoms?
If Tengshe really stole food, would he be punished?
Not only Huo Qingchen, but even Chu Huaixu looked worried.
"Youning, isn't this a bad idea?"
"Why is it bad?" Yu Youning huffed. "They are so evil that they want to poison us. So what if we steal their food?"
"I'm not saying that stealing food is a bad idea. I'm just worried about whether it will have any impact on Teng Snake." Chu Huaixu explained.
Seeing that he was not against her proposal, Yu Youning stopped being angry. "Don't worry, this isn't the first time Xiao Teng Teng has done something like this. It won't have any impact on her."
If she says steal the head, then steal it!
Anyone who objects can come find her!
The Teng Snake has already emerged from Yu Youning's wrist, looking eager to try.
Yu Youning nodded its head and said, "Little Teng Teng, go quickly and come back quickly. Swallow all their food and bring it back!"
Tengshe nodded, left Yu Youning's wrist, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You're going right away?" Huo Qingchen was stunned. "When will Teng Snake come back?"
"It will be quick!" Yu Youning put his hands on his hips, "Only a quarter of an hour!"
"So fast?" Huo Qingchen was stunned.
Chu Huaixu was also a little surprised, but he was already thinking about the next step.
What will the Xiliang army do next when they find that they have run out of food and supplies?
Should he get angry and send troops directly, or wait for Xiliang to send more food and supplies?
Or, after suffering this loss, they withdrew their troops as if nothing had happened?
No matter what, we must first tell this matter to Marquis Zhenbei and Marshal Wen.
"Let's go back first!" Chu Huaixu said, "We also need to tell Zhenbei Hou and the others about what's happening here."
Huo Qingchen blinked repeatedly before saying, "Don't we have to wait here for Teng Snake to come back?"
Chu Huaixu, "...Guess why Teng Snake is a mythical beast?"
If it can’t even find Yu Youning, what kind of divine beast is it?
The moment Huo Qingchen said this, he realized that he had asked a very stupid question.
Now after hearing Chu Huaixu's answer, his face was filled with embarrassment.
Fortunately, it was completely dark and there was no light here, so no one could see his red face.
Several people returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion together.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Marquis' Mansion, he was invited to the study by the servants who had been waiting for a long time.
The moment he walked into the study, Zhenbei Hou and Wen Beiyao looked over eagerly at the same time.
Yu Youning ran towards Wen Beiyao, "Uncle! I stole the Xiliang army's food!"
Wen Beiyao subconsciously hugged Yu Youning, but his eyes looked at Yu Tingwan.
They are truly mother and daughter!
How could they think of such a thing together!
Yu Tingwan had just said she wanted to steal the food, but Yu Youning had already stolen it...
etc!
Wen Beiyao stared at Yu Youning in his arms with wide eyes, "Youning, what did you just say? You stole the Xiliang army's food and fodder? How did you steal it?"
"Let Xiao Teng Teng steal it!"
"Who is Xiao Teng Teng?"
Wen Beiyao wanted to ask again, but someone came hurriedly to report.
"Marshal, the Xiliang army is making unusual movements!"
Wen Beiyao hurriedly put Yu Youning on the ground, not daring to waste time, and hurried out.
The Marquis of Zhenbei also looked nervous and followed them out.
Yu Tingwan walked over to Yu Youning and squatted down, "Youning, let's go take a look too!"
"OK!"
The group hurried to the city gate and could see flames rising from the Xiliang army's camp in the distance.
It wasn't that there was a fire, but that many people were running around holding torches.
It was obvious that they were investigating who had stolen the food supplies.
But no matter how they tracked down, the lost food and supplies could not be found.
The Teng Snake had coiled around Yu Youning's wrist again and turned into an ordinary bracelet. No one could tell there was anything wrong with it.
Wen Beiyao excitedly walked over to Yu Youning, "Youning, how did you do that?"
"It's a secret!" Yu Youning said with a smile.
It’s not that Yu Youning doesn’t trust Wen Beiyao, but the fewer people who know about the existence of Teng Snake, the better.
Wen Beiyao didn't care that he didn't get an answer.
"Youning is our great hero! I will definitely submit a memorial to the emperor to commend Youning!"
"Okay, okay!" Yu Youning agreed happily, "Then I want lots of delicious food!"
Wen Beiyao laughed heartily and reached out to touch Yu Youning's nose. "You love to eat so much, and you can eat so much. Youning, are you a little glutton?"
"I don't know! But being able to eat is a blessing!"
"It's a blessing!" Wen Beiyao said loudly, "Da Yong has You Ning, it's also a blessing for Dayong!"
