Chapter 395 Another Miracle Appears
"What"
The emperor was shocked: "The Hou family sold all their houses"
Also, how could he not know what other heirlooms the Hou family had?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have found out that two days before the army set out, Mr. Hou sold all of the Hou family's real estate, claiming he was disheartened and ready to leave the capital.
At this time, all members of the Hou family are no longer in the capital."
The emperor stood up suddenly: "No, no, I feel something is wrong."
That was more than half a month's wages for an army of 400,000. How much would the Hou family have to sell to raise that much?
"Go check on that old man from the Hou family to see if he has already reunited with Hou Yuanji."
"yes."
Three days later, news came back that Mr. Hou was indeed in the army.
"Outrageous! This is rebellion, it's really rebellion."
The emperor was furious: "Pass on my order, the army will stay where it is, and order Hou Yuanji to return to the capital immediately."
He felt something was slowly slipping out of his control.
"yes."
The guards knew the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay.
The emperor was extremely anxious and felt that something was wrong.
Hou Yuanji was playing chess with Old Man Hou with great difficulty.
While playing chess, he was scolded: "You can't even play chess, how can you be with General Xie?"
A month passed, and the old man was still brooding over the fact that he had worked hard all his life and almost failed to save the Hou family; and this grandson who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun was lucky enough to stand higher than him.
"Grandpa, I really don't have this talent."
Hou Yuanji held his head in pain and said, "I fall asleep when I see the chess pieces now. Please forgive me."
"You useless boy, how dare you say that."
Mr. Hou blew his beard and glared: "How can you be my confidant if you don't have any common topics?"
This unpromising boy!
I don’t want to learn this, and I don’t want to learn that.
Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin's identities have not been fully exposed yet, so there is still a chance.
When they regained their status and led the army back to the palace, people all over the world would rack their brains to get close to them.
This grandson who can do nothing but survive has not been replaced by countless people.
"The master is not such a person."
Hou Yuanji held his head in dissatisfaction and said, "Grandpa, I am a general now after all, can you please be quiet when you scold me?
If someone hears me, who will listen to me anymore?"
"Grandpa scolds his grandson, who dares to say anything?"
Old Master Hou glared and said, "If you lose this round again, you will have to copy the ancestral precepts for me."
He was about to reach out to touch the chess piece when a loud voice came from outside the door.
"Report—"
Hou Yuanji's eyes lit up: "Please come in, no no no, let's talk outside."
He had never felt that the voices of his subordinates' reports were so pleasant as they were now.
The soldier who reported the news was inexplicably pulled out by Hou Yuanji.
After he paused, she dared to continue: "General, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the capital immediately."
"Back to Beijing"
Hou Yuanji immediately understood that it was probably because of his recent delivery of grain that the emperor became psychologically unbalanced.
"hehe."
He sneered disdainfully: "When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the army. If you don't understand, you can just say a few perfunctory words. There is no way you can go back."
The messenger was dumbfounded: "If this gets reported back from the palace..."
Is this really okay?
He has fought in battles with many generals.
Hou Yuanji was the first person to treat the emperor's words as nonsense.
Hou Yuanji said nonchalantly, "If you send another message, I won't care. I have an army of 400,000 men. Anyone who refuses to obey me is welcome to come."
What a joke, when he just left the capital, he might even go back.
The journey is already halfway over, what right does the dog emperor have to ask him to go back?
The messenger was secretly surprised: "Yes."
When going on a campaign, military orders are as heavy as a mountain.
Hou Yuanji sent the messenger away, hesitated for a moment, and still did not dare to return to the tent.
He ran to the wilderness to deliver the message.
The emperor has begun to get suspicious. Should they speed up the march?
Similar to Dasheng, there is another kind of excitement in the wilderness.
A group of people gathered at the edge of the field and whispered.
"I heard that this place is haunted recently, did you know?"
"It's fake, how could it be haunted? Even if there are some strange things, they are the manifestation of gods."
"What's going on? I just came out of Zizai City yesterday. Tell me quickly."
There have never been so many people gathered at the edge of the fields between Fanzhou and Zizai City.
"Isn't it almost harvest time? The other day a brother couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he got up to check on his land. Guess what happened?"
The man couldn't help but widen his eyes as he spoke: "Such a large field, and it's all gone, leaving only a deep pit."
He stood at the edge of the field, gesturing constantly: "Right here, the fields were all gone, but when I looked this morning, they're back again."
Everyone looked at the endless fields and burst into laughter: "You must be joking, you must have drunk too much!"
"I think it's a bit mysterious. That guy swore on his romantic luck for the rest of his life that I'm definitely not wrong."
"He's not very lucky in love anyway, so he's gone."
When everyone heard that only one person had seen it, they decisively concluded that it was a misunderstanding.
When Lu Wanyin heard the news, she was surprised.
I was only thinking about the curfew in Zizai City, but forgot about other places.
I didn't expect that there would be people who would go to the fields in the middle of the night when they had nothing to do.
Lu Wanyin decisively added a new order, "Send a message to the prefect of Fanzhou, and impose a curfew on both Fanzhou and Zizai City."
The curfew lasted only half a month.
The people of Fanzhou feel that every day is becoming more magical.
"Why do I feel that this food will be cooked soon?"
"It looked blue a few days ago, how come it changes color every day?"
The excitement that had just subsided for a few days burst out again.
"Could it be that this place that has been barren for many years is actually a natural place for growing crops?"
People coming from the wilderness are no longer surprised by this.
“Oh, a miracle happened.”
“Oh, another miracle happened.”
They've gotten used to it.
It's just that the crops grow a little faster, which is not a big deal in their Zizai City.
"We have already harvested all the grain in Zizai City. If we tell you the yield, it will scare a lot of people to death."
"My few acres of land yield a hundred dan of grain per acre. Even in the most fertile land, the grain yield is probably only a dozen dan at most."
If you tell others about it, they will definitely laugh at you.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
The eyes of the people of Fanzhou lit up, and they asked the question they were more concerned about: "Did you really keep so much grain according to the regulations?"
If the harvest is large, we must also get a large amount from them.
"certainly."
The people of the wilderness nodded without hesitation: "Of course, if there are elderly people or children at home, Zizai Peak will also ask to leave an extra stone for the people.
Honestly, I want to be reborn as a city lord like this in my next life."
