Chapter 118 Waste
"Little Princess, tell me, if you were stolen, would His Majesty the Emperor and our princess go crazy?" Dongju said while holding baby Ruoxi.
She was so scared that her neck shrank just thinking about it.
"Tsk, what should I do if I'm stolen?" baby Ruoxi thought.
Early in the morning.
The emperor's carriage stopped at the corner of the street.
At first, those ragged people first quietly stretched their heads out, with dirty sacks under their arms.
However, there was no movement at the door of the barracks.
Later, more and more people gathered, and everyone's discussion gradually became louder.
"The emperor said he would release the food, but there has been no action until now. He must have deceived us, right?"
"There was a big fire last night, it must have been burned!"
"No, the emperor's guards said that His Majesty was afraid that someone would cause trouble, so he wrapped it in cowhide and then covered it with sacks. So even if it was burned, it's okay."
"As long as you really give us food, even if it has stones in it or is burnt, I will want it. I haven't eaten food for a long time."
"Yeah, I almost forgot what rice and flour taste like."
More and more people gathered, and the discussion became louder and louder, but there was no movement in the barracks.
"Everyone, change the direction, open the warehouse next to the execution ground in the north of the city to release the food." Someone suddenly said.
The people turned around and saw a young girl. She was very young and pretty.
"Isn't this the young lady who escorted the military pay and rations here before?"
"Yes, this woman kicked a blocking guard at the city gate. She was very fierce. She seemed to be the princess's personal maid."
"Why are the rations placed at the execution ground?" someone asked curiously.
"Because this is a military camp. There are too many of you. It's not good." Dongju said.
"Okay, we believe you." Originally, the people wanted to guard the gate of the barracks, fearing that when they left, the barracks would really open the warehouse to store rations.
This time, it was past noon, but there was no movement in the military camp. The girl said that there was in the north of the city, so some people began to approach her and followed her.
Zhao Huiqi returned to the barracks in the early morning.
When he arrived at the barracks, he fell into a deep sleep. When the deputy general woke him up, it was already noon.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Zhao Huiqi woke up and shouted outside.
"General, you are finally awake. I kept calling you last night but you didn't wake up. I called the doctor, but he said you were fine, just fainted and too tired. You just need to have a good rest. I am so worried!" Zhao Huiqi's deputy general sighed deeply and said.
"What's wrong with your face?" Zhao Huiqi asked.
"General...I was beaten by Commander Bai." The deputy general raised his hands to cover his face, his face full of grievance: "They opened the warehouse to store grain, and my subordinates tried to stop them, and he beat me. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to kill me!"
"This kid, he is looking for death..." Zhao Huiqi turned over and got up, but immediately raised his hand to rub his forehead: "Ouch, this brain is really getting worse and worse, it hurts, it really hurts."
"General, it seems that your head disease is too difficult to cure!" said the deputy general.
"Who agreed to them opening the warehouse to store grain? Humph, this kid, he is going to turn the world upside down, has he ever thought about whether I have the final say in Mobei?" Zhao Huiqi said, turned around and fumbled under the pillow: "Huh?"
After a long while, he slowly withdrew his hand.
"General, what's wrong?" asked the deputy general.
"Where is the tiger talisman?" asked Zhao Huiqi.
"General, isn't that what you carry with you? You never leave it with you. Where did the tiger talisman go?" the deputy general asked immediately.
"Has anyone been to my room?" Zhao Huiqi's face suddenly darkened.
"No, no one has ever been to your room. Even from last night until now, the guards at the door have never blinked." After the deputy general finished speaking, he called the guards at the door to question them.
"General, we have never seen anyone come in. Not even flies can fly in." When the guards heard that the general had lost something, they immediately knelt down.
"Waste!" Zhao Huiqi finished speaking, raised his hand, and swung the long sword at the head of the bed, chopping the heads of the two men to the ground.
Other guards came in quickly and cleaned up the dirt on the ground.
The deputy general moved aside, lowered his head and said nothing.
In the morning, when Bai Yu slapped him, he told him clearly that his crime was enough for His Majesty the Emperor to chop off his head.
So, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor knew what they had done.
Bai Yu also said that Zhao Huiqi was dancing on the edge of a knife this time and would die miserably. Bai Yu also asked him to reflect on himself and know what he should do and what he wanted!
So, he was thinking about this problem all morning.
The most important thing is that Zhao Huiqi's rebellious heart is obvious. If this continues, I am afraid that they will not have a good life this year.
Either the emperor is destroyed, and the Wei Dynasty changes!
Either Zhao Huiqi is destroyed.
The deputy general thought for a whole morning. Zhao Huiqi's confidence lies in the Seven-Colored Palace, but can the Seven-Colored Palace really help him in the end?
"Pack up." Zhao Huiqi said, opened the door and walked out.
Outside, the black-armored guards were moving food and grass.
At the door of the barracks, the people lined up to take turns.
"Anyone who dares to break into the military camp will be executed immediately!" Zhao Huiqi walked over and shouted coldly.
"General Zhao, are you awake?" Xiao Yue stood aside, looking at Zhao Huiqi and shouted. "
Your Highness the Princess, what are you doing? All the soldiers in the army are not well fed and clothed. If you do this, how can we defend this border, protect the people in the city, and protect the Great Wei?" Zhao Huiqi scolded in a deep voice.
"So, General Zhao sleeps so late and gets up so that he can save money and eat less to protect the people?" Xiao Yue sneered. "
Princess, this is a military camp. Since His Majesty has sent all the food and rations to the military camp, then I will take charge of it." Zhao Huiqi said.
"General Zhao is busy. He goes out to work in the middle of the night and doesn't come back until dawn. How can I disturb him?" Xiao Yue said, pointing to the door and said, "Yes, General Zhao is right. Don't trespass the military camp without permission. This red line is the rule. Don't cross the red line!"
"Okay, we won't cross the red line!" Outside, the people were overjoyed.
They had something to eat at noon. Although it was porridge, it was very thick. Now that they were full, they were full of energy.
Zhao Huiqi turned his head and looked at the soldiers on the side.
But he saw that these soldiers were standing with their heads down, not daring to say a word.
"What's going on? Didn't you stop them at all?" Zhao Huiqi gritted his teeth and asked the deputy general beside him coldly.
"General, this is the eldest princess, and His Majesty... I dare not!" The deputy general whispered.
