Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 499 Grain, Bait

It is not easy for the army to move, and it may take more than a month or even longer from the assembly to the march to the south!

It is also said that the army has not moved, and the food and grass go first. The importance of this army food can be imagined.

So after Su Bai and the others went to "Jiugongmen" to report, they took on a task, which was to escort [-] catties of grain and grass to the south!
This task is not easy. If there is no problem in the middle, it will be a great achievement. If something goes wrong, the [-] catties of grain and grass will be lost or destroyed. I'm afraid I can't escape the responsibility!
It is normal for Xiao Wu, the grandson of General Zhennan, to be assigned the task of escorting food and grass, and it is said that General Ji Changfa personally assigned this task to his grandson!

So a group of four, with [-] soldiers, escorted hundreds of carts of grain and grass, and set off on the road.

Fortunately, from Shangjing to the south, all the way is the official road, the road is very flat, and it is so far away from Guizhou and Yuezhou, so there shouldn't be any problems, so Xiaosan Xiaowu and Su Bai are very relaxed and don't worry about it. I think this is a difficult task.

At this moment, they have been away from Shangjing for about ten days. Due to too many vehicles, it is difficult to travel. They have only traveled more than 2000 miles in these ten days.That night, the general in front of the team sent an order: "Ji Shaoxia, General Wang, please ask if you want to camp here tonight."

The general leading the team is called Wang Rongguang. He is about 30 years old. He is not weak in martial arts, but he has learned the techniques of killing the enemy on the battlefield. He is very good at fighting on horseback. He is the subordinate of General Ji. Little five.

So regardless of his status, Wang Rongguang was inferior to Xiao Wu, so he still had to tell Xiao Wu about anything.

Xiao Wu also knew that he was not the one to lead troops to fight, so he would agree to anything as long as General Wang spoke up.

This time was no exception. Now they happened to be in a place where there was no village or shop behind. There was a small hill not far away, which could shelter from the wind. It was a good place to camp.

After getting Xiao Wu's affirmative answer, the army quickly moved into action, setting up camps, and burying pots for cooking.

Xiaosan Xiaowu and Su Bai rode their horses to the top of the mountain. The sun was setting in the distance, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be on fire.

Although it is said that it gets hotter as you go south, but now the first month is just out, and they have not yet reached the south, so the weather is still a bit cold. Fortunately, there is no snow, otherwise it will have a greater impact on the journey.

Riding on the horse, Xiao San suddenly asked: "Xiao Wu, do you think that General Ji is giving you credit on purpose! Anyway, I don't see any difficulty in escorting food and grass!"

The reason why Xiaosan said this is also because on the whole, although the second prince Zhao Chen has established himself as king, he only occupies a corner of the south, which is very remote. This great country is still under the control of the Wu Dynasty. In the hands of the emperor!

They escorted the grain and grass this time, not to Guangdong Province, Guizhou and other places, but to Ganzhou. Although Ganzhou borders Guangdong Province, Ganzhou is still peaceful, so there should be no accidents, and as long as the grain and grass are transported, then It's a great achievement, and it's obviously giving Xiao Wu some credit!

Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao San lightly, and said: "If you really think so, how about I give you the credit for this? But if something goes wrong, you have to take full responsibility!"

Xiaosan's face froze, and he said with a sneer: "I'm not joking! I know that old general Ji is definitely not such a person! Besides, you and my brother, you still need to be so clear? Let's not talk about this, Xiaowu, yours. It means that our road is actually not safe, and there may be dangers?"

Xiao Wu nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "The second prince's rise this time was too fast and too sudden, and he occupied the land of the four states without making a sound. No one knew that he was hiding How much strength! And along the way, we are not only taking precautions against the second prince Zhao Chen!"

Xiao San frowned, and pondered: "You mean there are other princes who are also preparing..."

Xiao Wu shook his head slowly, and said: "It's hard to say! You also know that the first prince Zhao Zheng, the second prince Zhao Chen, the seventh prince Zhao Zhen, and a fifth prince who didn't know who was in front of him were the ones who were competing for the throne. The prince Zhao Yan, and the eleventh prince Zhao Jue, who is still not good enough, among them, in terms of power, the eldest prince is second to none. After all, the eldest prince is the eldest son and occupies the righteousness. The eldest prince succeeds to the throne, you don't know that, do you?"

Xiao San nodded slowly, he knew it.

Xiao Wu continued: "Of course it is impossible for the other princes to watch the eldest prince successfully inherit the throne, so they are all secretly developing their own power. This time the second prince's self-reliance was too sudden, but it was also a small spark. It is very likely that the entire Wu Dynasty will be ignited! Now I am afraid that other princes will also take advantage of the situation, this [-] food and grass is not a small amount, if it can be robbed, at least there will be no shortage of food and grass when the army is raised."

Little Sanyi thought it was true. From this point of view, their trip was not only unsafe, but rather dangerous!
Then his expression changed, and he said, "Xiao Wu, you can think of this kind of situation, do you think Old General Ji would think of it?"

Xiao Wu glanced at him, nodded and said, "Grandpa has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally expected this kind of thing."

"Since Old General Ji expected this situation, he even sent you to escort the food and grass! You are not kidding me!" Xiao San immediately changed his face, and said a little madly.

Xiao Wu chuckled lightly and said, "Do you still think that Grandpa deliberately asked me to take the credit?"

Xiao San was speechless, Su Bai seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Brother San? Is there any problem?"

"What's the problem! There's a big problem in the middle!" Xiaosan was a little crazy, and sighed: "Is there such a grandfather? He even cheated his own grandson! And you, Brother Su, you even read this Not coming out? This is obviously using us as a bait to lure out those princes who have evil intentions! I said, brother Su, what were you thinking just now!"

Su Bai was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about the conversation between Xiao San and Xiao Wu, he suddenly felt that what Xiao San said made sense, they seemed to have really become bait!His complexion also became ugly, and he asked Xiao Wu: "Brother Xiao Wu, Old General Ji must have other arrangements, right? Even if we are used as bait, there should be a net behind it!"

After hearing this, Xiao San quickly turned to look at Xiao Wu, hoping to get an affirmative answer from the other party.

But Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "I don't know if there is an Internet connection in the future, after all, it is impossible to tell too many people about this kind of thing, at least now it seems that I am not qualified to know whether there are follow-up measures. "

Xiao San became more and more speechless, he should have thought about what kind of person Old General Ji was, why would he have other fantasies!Now he regrets that he accompanied Xiao Wu to escort the grain and grass!After all, even if Old General Ji has other backhands, their bait is at risk of being swallowed directly!

Seeing that Su Bai still looked ignorant, Xiao San patted Su Bai on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, you are still so calm now, do you not understand our conversation? Or are you thinking about other things?" thing?"

Su Bai was stunned, and said: "I understand! But the matter has come to this point, what else can we do? We can only take one step at a time. You don't want to leave these food and grass and run away alone?"

Su Bai acted very calm, and he really thought so. The reason why he is so calm is also related to his current strength beyond Houtian Dacheng. After warriors become innate masters, ordinary people are already very difficult to deal with. Surrounded by thousands of troops, it is of course impossible to kill all of them, but if they break through the encirclement and escape, it is not a problem.

Although he hasn't reached the innate realm yet, he also thinks that if he wants to break through, especially with Chi Yun around, it shouldn't be difficult!
Most importantly, he still has the last backhand!Arriving here first, Su Bai glanced at the sky, there was a small black dot that was almost invisible to the naked eye, just staying in the sky, as if it was still, it was Xiaojin!This is Su Bai's last resort. If he is really under siege and can't escape, at worst he can let Xiao Jin catch him and fly away!
Although Xiao Jin still doesn't let him ride on his back, it shouldn't be a problem to grab its two legs. Xiao Jin won't watch him die, will he?No way?
Of course, Su Bai was indeed distracted just now. He thought of Mu Nantian and his party who had just left from Shangjing not long ago. Tongzhou has not yet been occupied, but once the war spreads, what will happen?

The people in the "Friends Escort Bureau" are really ill-fated!But now Su Bai has no other choice, he just hopes that Mu Nantian and his party will be safe and sound.

After hearing Su Bai's words, the third person next to him was completely speechless. Of course he would not abandon the food and flee, but he would never be able to see it like Su Bai. He could only shake his head when he heard Su Bai's words. .

At the foot of the hill, Chen Yin came on horseback and said, "Husband, Xiaosan and Xiaobai, let's go back to eat."

Xiao Wu's originally indifferent face softened a bit, nodded and said: "Well, let's go back now, it's windy here, be careful to catch a cold."

Chen Yin said with a smile: "Husband, why did you forget that I am also a martial arts practitioner. Although my strength is not strong, I will not be hurt by this cold wind."

Seeing the two of you and me, Su Bai and Xiaosan were very hurt. The two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then without saying a word, they slammed their legs on the horse's belly and hurried down the mountain. It's like a light bulb eating dog food here!
