Chapter 432: Handing over Food and Grass
On the other hand, General Xiao's side has at least eight or nine hundred people, and they have a great advantage in numbers.
However, General Xiao did not believe his lies. In the past, they did not allow the prince's stewards to approach the military camp, but now they took the initiative to invite him to help deliver food.
Who would believe that there is no trick here?
General Xiao took a big bite of the cake, said nothing, and kept looking at Yang Jingjun.
Yang Jingjun's eyes also swept over the soldiers brought by General Xiao.
"You all seem to be carrying murderous intent?!" He said this while tightening his grip on the knife handle.
General Xiao said disdainfully: "If you had just finished a fight today, you would not only have murderous aura on your body, but also blood! What's the big deal?"
Yang Jingjun turned his eyes to King Dongshan, "What are you going to do with the prince?"
General Xiao chewed his biscuits with big mouthfuls, showing no fear of Yang Jingjun at all:
"Take him back and let the master decide his fate."
Yang Jingjun: "Why not leave the prince to us? We have the most secure cell there. No one can find him if he hides in our place."
General Xiao glanced at him and sneered, "Don't try to take credit for our work. Do you know how many people we lost in trying to catch him?"
Yang Jingjun: "I can write a letter to the master to tell him that you captured the person, but just keep him in our custody, how about that?"
General Xiao glared and said:
"Nothing! Why? My promotion and wealth depend on him! If you want to intercept him halfway, you have to see if I am willing or not."
Seeing that General Xiao was really angry, Yang Jingjun smiled and said:
"It was just a joke, why did you take it seriously?"
General Xiao didn't smile at all: "It's better not to say some things carelessly. This is not the way to joke."
The most taboo thing in the military is grabbing credit. Not only will it create rifts between brothers, but it may even result in death.
Isn't it just for these achievements that everyone is working so hard for?
Yang Jingjun apologized in a good-tempered manner: "Yes, yes, yes! It's my fault, please don't take it as an offense! Brother, you haven't told me your full name yet?!"
General Xiao looked unhappy, turned around and left without paying any attention to him.
"Tell your people to put down their weapons, or I won't give you face."
Yang Jingjun gritted his teeth as he looked at General Xiao who was walking away. He really wanted to teach him a lesson right now.
But... obviously now is not the most appropriate time, he has to endure it.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to wave his hand and his men sheathed their weapons.
General Xiao's men retreated back to the fire, and their eyes on Yang Jingjun were not relaxed at all.
Yang Jingjun went forward to check the food and fodder. He untied a few bags and saw that it was indeed the same military rations as before. The number of rice bags on each cart was only more or less. He didn't know what to say, so he ordered the people he brought with him:
"Let's transport a part of it first." Let's solve the urgent problem first.
General Xiao had no objection and watched these people harness the horses and carts and take away half of the military rations.
Yang Jingjun felt relieved when he saw that General Xiao and the others were very honest.
Until they disappeared into the creek valley, General Xiao and his men still did not take any action.
Yang Jingjun: Am I being too suspicious?
No matter what, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
He was right to be wary of the grain delivery team, because they themselves didn't even recognize them!
He had lost contact with his superiors, so he was skeptical about the identities of these people.
However, the army rations were running out, so he had to take the risk and come here, otherwise he would starve to death!
It is better to give it a try. If there is trouble on the master's side, we can fight back as long as we are full, no matter who he is!
After they left, General Xiao squatted in front of King Dongshan and chirped:
"Why does this person look familiar to me?"
King Dongshan snorted and said, "Can't you tell he's from the Yang family?" The people of the Yang family look so alike.
General Xiao: "I know all the generals of the Yang family, but this one? I'm not familiar with him."
King Dongshan: "The Yang family is quite cunning. I was wondering why their sons are not sons and their fathers are not fathers. Love is waiting here!"
General Xiao had a lot of questions in his head and asked in confusion: "Tell me in detail."
King Dongshan glanced at him and criticized:
"You definitely can't figure out the Yang family's ways with your brain."
General Xiao: "Are you saying that the Yang family in Kyoto is involved in this rebellion?" It's over, the Yang family is finished.
King Dongshan: "The Yang family had a son who was taken away from home and raised outside when he was young. It was originally said that he would bring bad luck to his parents and relatives, so he had to be raised in a temple since he was young.
It would have been fine to wait until he grew up and then take him back. However, the son who was taken back ten years later had been replaced with another one and was adopted from the Yang family, a branch of the family.
The real Yang family member disappeared from the world."
The Yang family thought that what they had done was flawless, but they didn't know that they had already been discovered thoroughly.
General Xiao: "Oh, was that Yang Jiakeqin's youngest son?" No wonder I just disliked him no matter how I looked at him.
King Dongshan frowned: "If the Yang family had ulterior motives so early, then they must have done countless bad things in all these years in the court!
The Yang family must have been involved in the Great Prince's plan a long time ago, otherwise a prince without real power would not be able to accomplish so many things."
I wonder if my brother has taken action against the Yang family?
General Xiao clicked his tongue and said, "After all, the Yang family has produced a general. Their status is already quite high. Are they thinking of rebellion because they are taking the wrong medicine?"
Prince Dongshan: "What's so great about being a general? Aren't there titles above generals? Being a marquis or a king is what people aspire to be."
There is always a shortage of ambitious people in this world!
General Xiao smiled awkwardly: "The Yang family is quite ambitious." Now everything was quiet.
King Dongshan: "Have you arranged for the people who are following you? Make sure they don't get left behind."
General Xiao assured, "Don't worry! They are all veterans in the army."
Here, Yang Jingjun ordered his men: "Clean up the mess and leave no traces on the road."
"Yes! General, we clean it up every time, and there has never been any trouble in these years."
Yang Jingjun felt very uneasy, especially when he felt a sense of déjà vu about the bearded man he had met today.
But he couldn't figure out where he had seen him for the moment, which troubled him.
What you fear is bound to come true. This time, the people in charge of the cleanup were very perfunctory. Nothing had ever happened before, so they had let down their guard a long time ago.
Many times they just did a hasty job and left it at that. After all, this was the wilderness and no one would pay attention.
At first they were still trembling with fear, but later they found that no accidents happened at all. Over time, they became extremely brave.
What's more, the ruts we left this time are so deep that if we work hard, we won't be able to finish them even in the second half of the night!
Are you full?
