Chapter 2205 So That's It
The Sun family... The Sun family is not easy to deal with!
"How much benefit do you promise to give them?"
Shao Yunduan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xiao Qi was really upset and said angrily, "It's totally unfair! The Sun family is so shameless! They say that the emperor is the master of the world and everything in the world belongs to the emperor and should be supplied to the emperor first. Now the emperor's barracks are also short of food, so half of the Northwest Army's food must be given to them."
"How can this be possible!"
Shao Yunduan was furious and asked coldly, "You agreed?"
"Of course I won't agree!" Even though the incident had already passed and Xiao Qi was complaining to his brother, he was still furious: "Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law spent a lot of time and money to help us collect food. Now I owe them so much money. How can I give it to them for free?"
"If they wanted 20,000 or 30,000 silver coins for the toll, I might have given it after gritting my teeth. It's not a bad idea to spend money to buy a safe and smooth journey, but they are going so far that there is no point in discussing it."
Shao Yunduan glanced at him and said, "What happened next? How did you get here? Why were they willing to let you go?"
"Of course not! The people of the Sun family are simply crazy," Xiao Qi sneered, "I can't talk to them. The two sides are deadlocked, so I said that the Northwest Army's food and grass will not last long. If their obstruction leads to any immeasurable consequences, our General Feng and General Xu will definitely tell the whole story and make it known to the world. They will decide for themselves whether they can bear the consequences or not!"
"Humph, even after I've said this, they still want one-third of the food, saying that it can't be less no matter what! They said that it's the duty of the Northwest Army to defend the country, and now there are traitors in the Qin Dynasty causing chaos. The emperor wants food not for his own selfish desires, but to eliminate the traitors and bring peace to the Qin Dynasty! So the emperor absolutely wants this food! Fifth brother, listen to what bullshit this is! It really makes people angry!"
Seeing his eyebrows and eyes twisted with anger, Shao Yunduan felt angry and distressed, "Calm down, there's no point in getting angry. This is indeed the Sun family's style! What happened next?"
Shao Yunduan was no longer angry, but rather a little curious.
Xiao Qi said, "I can't give them one third! This is all raised by our Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law. Sooner or later, the Northwest Army will have to compensate them with something of equal value. Why should they get it for free?"
"Then I said, if that's the case, the emperor seems to have never sent military funds to the Northwest Army, isn't it time to give it? Not much, just give 500,000 taels of silver first! In fact, what can 500,000 taels of silver be enough for? It can't even last a year. Oh, fifth brother, didn't you see that they were so angry that they almost jumped up, and the one called Sun Pu almost wanted to fight. Humph, if they really started fighting, I'm afraid of him!"
Shao Yunduan: "..."
Well, it’s Sun Pu again. It can be said that enemies meet on a narrow road.
Shao Yunduan said, "This Sun Pu has a grudge against us."
Shao Yunduan briefly recounted what had happened before, leaving Xiaoqi dumbfounded.
The distance is too far, and the situation in the northwest is not peaceful right now. The atmosphere is tense, and everyone is paying attention to the war, so they don't pay attention to anything else.
When Xiaoqi came over, he was also puzzled when he saw Huaixi Pass, but he didn't think much about it and just thought that his brother had also seized a piece of land.
