The bearded man glanced at Huo Jingxuan, then cleared his throat, but said nothing.
Leng Yue touched Huo Jingxuan's arm at the right time, and glanced in the direction of the bearded man.
Remind him with your mouth, "Conditions!
You still want to get it for free!"
The secret guards were all laughing on the side, and the bearded man felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and stared at his toes.
Huo Jingxuan touched his nose awkwardly, leaned close to Leng Yue and whispered, "Aren't I used to getting things for free?
I forgot about the conditions!"
Then he quickly sat up straight and said, "Well, let's talk about the terms first!
But please speak quickly!
Don't waste time dawdling, my wife and children are still hungry!"
When the bearded man mentioned hunger, his stomach growled even louder, like a drum.
In all his years of life, he had never been so embarrassed. His old face turned red with shame.
"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh!
General Huo is straightforward, and I am not the kind of person who wastes time, so I will get straight to the point.
I will tell you everything I know.
I have only one condition, and that is to ask General Huo to send someone to retrieve the body of Mr. Mengkuduo.
And we have to do it quickly. If we delay any further, it might be too late.
There's a group of hungry wolves over there, waiting eagerly for their meal!"
"Meng Kuoduo died?" Huo Jingxuan asked in surprise.
If it were someone else, he would have to listen to what the bearded man said to see if it was worth everyone's effort.
But Mengkuduo is different.
He was one of the few sensible people in the Liao army.
Moreover, in a previous battle, he had helped his elder brother once, so he had to repay this favor!
Without saying a word, he quickly assembled his troops.
Prepare to set out to retrieve Mengkuduo's body so that he can rest in peace.
The bearded man never expected that Huo Jingxuan would agree so readily.
He originally thought that he would have to spend some time and effort to have a detailed discussion with Huo Jingxuan!
Now save all!
On the other hand, why else would everyone be willing to join him?
Even when they had no money, no food, and no supplies, and were enduring the hardship, no one ran away.
Huo Jingxuan just brought that party, decent!
Choosing the right leader is half the battle.
The remaining half depends entirely on luck.
If he had not been born decades earlier, in the wrong womb, and in the wrong country, he would have joined the Huo family army!
He immediately stood up and said, "General Huo, if you trust me, let me go with you!
I am familiar with the terrain and layout over there, I will lead the way for you all."
Huo Jingxuan glanced at the bearded man from top to bottom.
There were five or six injuries on his body, both major and minor.
In addition, he was old, had not eaten for two meals, and had been dealing with the Liao army for so long that his physical strength had long been exhausted.
"Don't try to show off.
What's your situation? Don't you have any idea?
If you go with us, should we save Mengkuduo or you?
You should stay here and wait for news!
We'll be back soon!"
As soon as they heard that there was a war to be fought, no matter it was An Er, Huo Tong, Huo Da, Wu Zhenbang or Sun Meng.
Their eyes were all shining with excitement and they all stood up to volunteer to fight.
If you don’t know, you might think they are in a hurry to get married!
This scene seemed even more refreshing to the bearded man.
In the Liao army, no one would rush to fight, no matter what.
They are all so smart that when they hear about the war, they know it is too late to wait any longer. Only a fool would volunteer to go out and die!
No, that's not accurate.
To be precise, the Liao army would only rob when dividing things or women, and would not do so at other times.
Huo Jingxuan glared at them one by one.
"What are you in such a hurry?
Sooner or later you will have to fight a war, but not now.
Save your energy and prepare for the tough battle!
You have to use your brain, not just brute force."
Then he waved to An Yi to come over, and leaned close to his ear to give him instructions.
"Cut a roasted leg of lamb, and get a bag of dried meat that the lady had collected earlier.
Go make a deal with the Liao army!"
An Yi hesitated for a moment and expressed doubt about Huo Jingxuan's words.
"Master!
The Liao army is short of food, but they are not stupid!
How much does a piece of mutton and a bag of jerky cost?
Even a three-year-old child can do the math.
The flesh of an adult is definitely more than these things!"
Huo Jingxuan raised his hand and slapped An Yi in the face, "I think you've become stupid after getting married!
No matter how much meat an adult has, officials and those in power will eat and take it all.
If the rest is distributed among everyone, how much will be left?
It's just a taste, it can't even serve as a base.
You took too much of what I asked you to take.
Stop wasting time and go!
Don't worry, the Liao army is better at calculating this account than you!"
An Yi still left with half belief and half doubt because he felt it was unrealistic.
After all, today is the first day that the Liao army has been out of food. No one will starve to death if they skip two meals.
According to his analysis, the Liao army should not have arrived yet, so how could they be so cruel!
There were a few younger brothers following behind him to protect his safety along the way.
As a result, as soon as An Yi approached the outskirts of the Liao army camp, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The Liao army had no intention of resisting and gathered together in groups of three or five.
There was a fire in the middle of each of them, and sticks were stuck next to the fire, with meat stuck on them!
And behind them, there was not only blood.
There were also some clothes belonging to the Liao army soldiers and skeletons with all the flesh removed.
There is no doubt that anyone with a discerning eye now knows what they are roasting on the fire at this moment.
An Yi and the people behind him felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
As a result, they didn’t even have the chance to vomit!
He was overtaken by someone, and that person was none other than the head of the Liao army who was responsible for the outer defense.
Because he couldn't stand it, he sat farthest away from everyone.
Just now, An Yi and others were so shocked that they didn't even notice his existence.
Now, someone is taking the lead.
An Yi and the others couldn't control themselves anymore and started vomiting violently.
Because of this relationship, the little leader actually felt that he and An Yi had a common fate.
The little leader spoke first, "Brothers of the Huo family army, if I'm not mistaken, you guys don't come to visit for no reason!
Just tell me, what are you doing here?
If you have something to say, just tell me. I can kill you or chop you up as you please.
We are all so hungry now, our backs are sticking to each other.
I don't even have the strength to lift the knife, so I don't have the energy to waste time talking to you."
In fact, An Yi was a little confused at this moment.
No matter what kind of meat the Liao army roasted, one thing is beyond doubt.
That is, people have no shortage of food now!
