The food robbery in Heifeng Village has come to an end.
Everyone gathered together to discuss the matter.
Li Zhan asked Hua Changjue.
"Duke Anguo, what do we need to do next?"
Hua Changjue narrowed his eyes, took a sip of water, and then said calmly, "Next, just wait."
Everyone was whispering in surprise.
Li Zhan looked at him in confusion.
"Don't we need to do something more? Are we afraid of them? Will both sides not be fooled? There will be no fighting."
Hua Changjue shook his head. "They didn't have much trust in each other to begin with. This is enough for now."
Hua Lingjian nodded. "Yes, too much is as bad as too little."
…
At night, there are many fishing boats on the riverside.
Inside one of the small boats, there were five or six people sitting, all with serious expressions.
The man in the innermost was tall and strong, with a square face, narrow eyes, and a scar on the right side of his nose.
He had a turban on his head and no beard. It was the Southern King himself.
He looked at the person who came to report the news with a gloomy face.
"Are you sure that the food has entered Zhang Meng's military camp?"
The person who brought the news lowered his head and said with absolute certainty.
"I am very sure that it is our food. The horses, the vehicles, and even the sacks that hold the food have special markings we made on them. There is no doubt about it."
The Southern King stopped talking. His eyes were filled with dark clouds. An old man next to him, called Uncle Jiang, said angrily.
"Zhang Meng is really a piece of shit."
"Originally, I was wondering if the Crown Princess's matter was plotted against by someone else?"
"Now it seems that they are the ones who want to cross the river and destroy the bridge!"
"He has gained our benefits. He also wants to destroy us and seek credit from Zhao Jingtian."
On the other side of Zhang Meng, a thin man named Huang Qi slapped the table and stood up, almost hitting the top of the boat.
"Zhang Meng's grandson is the eldest grandson of the emperor. He is making wedding clothes for his own family. He is not doing his best."
"It's a pity. We worked so hard to get the food. Even if it's only enough to feed our army for a month."
"But! What a damn shame."
The food was well stored. We were trying to transport it to Linjiang in the past two days. But now it's all gone.
Everyone was filled with indignation and their faces were filled with anger.
"We can't let Zhang Meng get away with it like this, otherwise he will think we are soft persimmons and he can take advantage of us at will." Someone shouted.
King Nan waved his hand and asked the messenger.
"Are you sure the people who stole the food were Zhang Meng's men?"
The man thought about it and shook his head.
"We found some clues. It seems to be someone from Black Wind Village."
Uncle Jiang said coldly.
"That's right. I found out before. Zhang Meng wanted to control Black Wind Village. He even sent people to infiltrate Black Wind Village."
"It's been so long. He must have taken over the Black Wind Village. Then he used the name of the Black Wind Village to plot against us."
"This way we won't be blamed on him!"
King Nan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Finally, he said to Uncle Jiang.
"Uncle Jiang, gather our people together and wait for orders at any time. Since he can find our hidden food, I'm afraid this place is not safe anymore."
Uncle Jiang quickly bowed and said yes, then went down to make the arrangements.
The Southern King said to Huang Qi.
"Huang Qi, go contact Master Qian. Find a way to transfer another batch of grain back. Go now. If that doesn't work, use someone else's name to buy grain from Qiu Mobai at a high price."
Huang Qi bowed and quickly retreated.
Just as King Nan was about to give the next order, there was a sudden loud bang.
Then I heard someone shouting outside.
"It's bad, it's bad. An army is coming."
Several people were shocked and quickly protected King Nan and boarded a hidden small boat nearby.
"King Nan, please leave quickly. We are here."
The Southern King gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred. He bowed to the others, then took his two subordinates and paddled away in a small boat.
He didn't need to look back to hear the loud rumbling noise on the shore and the flames in the sky.
"Zhang Meng, I swear, I will never forgive you. I will never stop fighting until one of you dies."
Zhang Meng brought his second son, General Zhang Wei, and 5,000 soldiers with him. They used gunpowder to blow up the dock in front of them.
This place was a secret base of the Southern King that he had just found out two days ago. He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
He didn't want to do this originally.
But when he saw the food that was looted by the Southern King and his men, he was furious. They really thought he was a vegetarian.
"Come here! Arrest everyone present. Regardless of gender, age or status. Those who disobey will be executed immediately!"
"Yes!" General Zhang Wei dismounted and rushed over with two thousand men, killing almost everyone they saw.
Zhang Meng saw him like this and just shook his head and ignored him.
That night, the river bank was covered in blood. Almost no one was left alive. Because there was no need.
…
On the other side, Qiu Mobai was strolling leisurely in the Black Wind Village. This time, he was also honored to be invited by Li Zhan to visit the mountain.
Because he took that batch of grain, but it wasn't for nothing.
He exchanged the grain for silver notes and gave them directly to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan was the boss after all, so he had to consider the lives of everyone here. He was still happy to suddenly have so much more money. So he was quite polite to Qiu Mobai.
Qiu Mobai looked at Hua Qingqing and a few other kids, all of whom were sticking their butts out, not knowing what they were doing.
He walked over curiously.
I saw Hua Qingqing stuffing a black object into her mouth, making her mouth and hands all black.
He frowned, squatted down, picked up a handkerchief, and wiped her hands and mouth.
"Xiao Yu'er, why do you stuff everything into your mouth? Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
Hua Qingqing was stunned, but when she saw Shi Qiu Mobai, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Brother Qiu! Do you have milk cake?"
"Baby wants to eat!"
Qiu Mobai had no choice but to wipe her mouth and hands clean before taking out a paper bag from his arms and handing it to her.
"Here you go, little greedy cat!"
Hua Qingqing's eyes immediately curved and she invited her friends to eat milk cake.
Midway through eating.
Hua Qingqing also proudly introduced her new friend to him.
"This is Brother Wang Xiaopang."
"This is Brother Xu Sheng."
"This is Sister Zhu Yu."
Then let me introduce Qiu Mobai to you.
"This is super super rich. Brother Qiu."
Several children's eyes lit up immediately.
Wang Xiaopang asked curiously.
"That's how rich they are. They are super, super rich."
Xu Sheng tilted his head and made a lot of gestures with his hands.
"Is it true, that you are so rich?"
Zhu Yu glanced at the two of them.
"My mother told me that very rich people eat gold."
"Paper for wiping buttocks. All of them are banknotes."
All the children turned to look at Qiu Mobai.
“Is gold delicious?”
"Using banknotes to wipe your butt? Will it be blocked?"
