Chapter 386: Making a Fortune in Silence
The captives looked like they had just woken up and had no idea what had happened or why they were in this place.
By the time he understood his situation, he was being escorted to an open space where the two armies were facing each other, forced to kneel down, with a cold blade pressed against his neck.
As soon as the Dai Viet commander gave the order, they were beheaded immediately.
"Ugh! Ugh!" None of the eight men begged for mercy, and none of them showed any fear or panic. No matter how the people behind them oppressed them, their knees bent again and again and they forced themselves to stand up again and again, without losing an inch of their general's character.
But when their eyes fell on Wen Renjing, their eyes turned red and they made mumbling sounds.
I don’t know what to say.
It seems like leaving a last word.
As if saying goodbye.
Duan Dao turned around and made a gesture, and Yuan's army immediately stopped their actions, letting these people stand upright and no longer forcing them to kneel.
They also respect men of courage.
But even though we are enemies, we will not be soft-hearted towards them.
The spring breeze blowing across my cheeks is cool and gentle.
Broken Blade sat quietly on horseback for a while, and the man on the brown warhorse opposite him never said a word.
He didn't say another word, raised his right hand, and slowly lowered it.
Yuan Jiajun raised his knife as he gestured and chopped it down.
"Stop." After a long silence, the King of Mobei finally spoke, his two words sounding heavy and harsh.
Yuan Jiajun paused in mid-air while swinging his sword, and stepped aside after the commander made another gesture.
"General Yuan, you win, and I, Wen Renjing, lose another move." Wen Renjing's gaze shifted to Duan Dao's face. The reins left a mark on his palm, but his tone remained calm and steady. "At this point, there's no need for you and me to beat around the bush. I hand over the eight soldiers of Beixiang to this king. I won't pursue the matter of the eight little thieves. Today, you and I will each withdraw our troops. What happens from now on will depend on your own abilities. If you win, it's a testament to your talent. If you lose, I won't complain!"
"The King of Mobei is worthy of being the faith supported by everyone in Beixiang. It's a deal. If we meet again on the battlefield, victory or defeat will depend on our own abilities. I, Yuan Yao, will not be afraid."
The two commanders clashed in front of the battlefield, and their momentum was evenly matched.
The eight captives returned to the Beixiang camp, and the King of Mobei did not break his promise and immediately led his troops to retreat.
Before leaving, he asked Yuan Yao one last question, "Are they in your army?"
"Yuan, I don't know what Your Highness is talking about, but I do have something to ask Your Highness. Were the people you killed three days ago truly innocent civilians from the border town?"
"General Yuan, why don't you investigate it yourself?"
In the end, no one could get an answer from the other, but in fact, they both already knew the answer.
A seemingly unsolvable war ended just like that.
What's the situation in Beixiang? There's one thing going on. The border is blocking the way, and it's difficult for Yuan's army to find out the truth.
But the Yuan family army really had fun together for the whole day.
When Lao Chai and the forage officer went to the forage warehouse in the morning to hand over the food needed for the day, they found that the half-empty warehouse was actually full.
As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, the piled-up things inside spilled out.
It rolled all over the open space in front of the door.
When the two looked up, they didn't know if it was an illusion, but even the roof of the warehouse seemed to have a gap due to the things stuffed inside.
The extra things included rice, flour, grain, oil, and even small jars of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, as well as cooked food and half-steamed meat buns.
And hundreds of jars of fine wine.
Lao Chai and the forage officer subconsciously stuffed the things back into the warehouse, and put the things that couldn't be put in the spare warehouse.
In short, no one shouted loudly, and there was a tacit understanding of making a fortune in silence.
It's easy to guess who got these things.
It must be Tianbao and the others!
There is no doubt that the source must be the Beixiang military camp.
As for how they got so many things and how they put them in the warehouse quietly, neither of them mentioned it.
It’s a good thing to have it!
Who cares how he got it!
The one who benefits is Yuan’s army!
These lumps of flesh on the general are really lumps of flesh!
baby!
From now on, I am also their pimple!
Hundreds of jars of fine wine were finally prepared after Lao Chai secretly asked the commander for his opinion. For the first time in his life, he showed his generosity and brought out all the wine with a wave of his hand, allowing the soldiers to drink to their heart's content!
Winning without fighting, being happy for once is not excessive or extravagant!
Su Wu had been craving for wine for a long time, and this time he took a jar and tasted it with his brothers, taking turns to sip it.
"Wenren Jing is a man who can bend and stretch. Knowing he was about to suffer a loss, he was able to lower himself and stop the loss in time." Su An took a sip of wine, trying hard to keep his face from deforming. "It seems that we will have even less peaceful days in the future. I bet he will definitely keep an eye on us."
Su Wen smiled. "That's natural. He already regards us as his rivals. Tell me, is this lucky or unlucky?"
Su Wu squatted down in front of him, holding his face, and sternly admonished, "Second brother, why don't you go back to the academy and continue copying books? It's too dangerous outside, your younger brother will take the responsibility for you!"
Su Wen didn't want to say a word and kicked the guy into the corner. "I'll have to ask my father and mother when I get home. I don't believe you and I are twins."
"I don't want to call you brother! We were born at the same time, so why should I be the younger brother and you the older brother?" Su Wu pounced back with his teeth bared.
The people around drove out the two brothers who started fighting.
Bing'er had become increasingly accustomed to her brothers and sisters fighting over a disagreement. Encouraged by Wheat Ear, she took a sip of wine, her cheeks flushed, and her smile became even more naive. "Sister, it's springtime! When the weather gets a little warmer, Bing'er will hatch some bugs for you!"
Little Wheat Ear was also tipsy and giggled, "Bing'er, I'll hatch with you! Hiccup! When sister gets better, the three of us will go out and roam the world again. We must be invincible! My wanted posters are everywhere!"
Bai Yu sat to one side, his chin in his hand, his peach blossom eyes half-closed, looking as if he was half drunk, his face delicate and his eyes hazy, "Wanted order... Tian Bao's name and mine should be listed together, Junior Sister, please step back."
"Why?! I'm the second one!"
"You are the last one."
"I'm second!"
"From now on, Tianbao and I will issue a wanted poster separately, hahahaha!"
Tianbao didn't drink any alcohol, and there was a faint smile on his face. Listening to the lively sounds around him, his eyebrows and eyes unconsciously became soft.
Now that things here are done, it's time for them to leave as there are other things to do.
But Uncle Duan Dao has to be stationed here, and I don’t know when we will meet again.
She tilted her head and looked elsewhere.
The old man and Duan Dao sat on the other side. The old man held a teapot in his hand and forced a jar of wine into Duan Dao's hand. His reluctance to leave could be seen at a glance, but the old man was stubborn and didn't say it.
"Grandson, if you want to guard this place, do it well. Don't wait until grandpa comes back and can't find you next time."
"One moment son, the next moment grandson, when will you change your habit of confusing generations?"
"Grandpa is happy! If I'm not happy, I'll call you a bastard!"
"You bastard."
“…Fuck you!”
