Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

As the army set out, Gao Yao and Hu Tu marched together. Because of this battle, the two had become brothers. Hu Tu was naturally happy now. This was definitely a great achievement, defeating the enemy with a smaller force.

The one who had made the greatest military achievements must be himself, so naturally he was very close to Gao Yao. They had been walking side by side for several days until they entered Dai County. Hu Tu still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart,

"Brother Gao Yao, I have always been curious about where those potatoes and sweet potatoes come from?"

"Well, well, since the general asked, I'll tell the truth. These foods are basically dug out from the soil. At first, I didn't know what they were, so I thought about trying to eat them myself. After I ate them and felt fine, I gave them to my brothers. At that time, everyone was holding their breath. I knew that this breath could not be released, and the truth could not be told, otherwise the soldiers would be panicked. I hope the general will not be offended." "Is there really such food on this grassland?"

Hearing this, Hutu showed an expression of surprise and confusion on his face. They looked at Gao Yao in disbelief, and a surge of fear and curiosity about unknown things surged in their hearts. In this strange grassland, there was such a magical food hidden!

At the same time, Hutu also began to fill in his own mind, and everything Gao Yao experienced was real. At that difficult time, Gao Yao had no choice but to take the risk of trying this unknown food to survive. If the brothers knew the truth, morale would collapse and the entire army would be in dire straits. Therefore, Gao Yao resolutely chose to conceal it and use lies to support everyone's hope.

Faced with such a situation, Hutu could not help but admire Gao Yao's courage and wisdom. Although his behavior was a bit reckless, he made the most sensible decision in that extreme situation. Now, they finally understood why Gao Yao was able to lead everyone out of the predicament.

"As for the source of food, the general has been in the North for many years and he doesn't know it, so how can I know? Maybe I still don't know until the day I die. General, do you remember that I would take a few brothers out every day to dig these foods? It's just that the food is very limited, otherwise I really want to make sure that all the brothers are full. As for the name, it's just something I made up. The one dug out of the soil and looks like a bean, I call it a potato. The one dug out is red and tastes soft, so I call it a sweet potato."

"But once I opened my mouth, I would not be able to stop the hungry people. If they cannot dig in one place, they will dig in farther places until they find it. If that happens, the army will be in chaos..."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Hu Tu also sighed, and his previous doubts about Gao Yao were also reduced a lot. Gao Yao had thought about all this a long time ago. From the moment he took out the food, Gao Yao knew that he would definitely be suspected. Stabilizing the morale of the troops was one aspect, and the other aspect was that he would have something to say when asked. In this way, it would be regarded as some special plants that happened to be discovered by Gao Yao because they were edible, and he would not ask any more questions.

After all, Daqin didn't know much about the grassland, so Hutu gave up after asking.

At this time, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly appeared. Gao Yao immediately blocked Hu Tu behind him, and several arrows only landed a few meters in front of the two of them.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack...Prepare for war"

At this time, Gao Yao also shouted and spoke directly. The Qin soldiers who heard this voice immediately moved. At this time, Hu Tu also reacted and began to give orders. He was very grateful to Gao Yao for instinctively protecting him behind him.

"This is the territory of the Qin Empire. How could someone attack the Qin Army?"

"General, have you forgotten that we have entered Dai County? It is not surprising that the Huns appear here. We cannot be careless. General, you have a heavy responsibility. So I will stay here, and you should lead the troops to patrol the area. Even if there are enemy troops, they should be small groups. We can just drive them away."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Hu Tu also thought it made sense, so he led more than 300 people and divided them into ten teams to search for the whereabouts of the Huns. Gao Yao took the opportunity to return to the position where King Tuan and Yu Shu were guarding. The two were in the prison cart at this time, and most of the soldiers around knew Gao Yao, and many of them were very grateful to Gao Yao. Gao Yao first walked around King Tuan's prison cart, and then came to Yu Shu's prison cart.

Yu Shu naturally saw Gao Yao coming at this time, but her eyes were filled with resentment when she looked at Gao Yao, but Gao Yao simply ignored her.

"Separate the two carriages. Don't let anything happen. King Tuan is more important. A princess is not a big deal. Just a few dozen feet will do."

"Here"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, the soldiers immediately pushed King Tuan's prisoner cart forward for a distance. At this time, several arrows flew along the grass on one side, and some even hit Gao Yao's feet.

"This is too much. Come, follow me and kill the enemy."

"Here"

At this time, Gao Yao seemed to be enraged. He rode his horse and rushed towards the direction where the arrows had just been shot with a big knife in hand. The Qin army that was originally guarding the prisoner car immediately followed Gao Yao. After all, these people were brought out from the grassland by Gao Yao. Compared with the safety of Renault and a princess of Tuan, these people naturally chose the former.

This immediately resulted in only two or three guards left guarding Yu Shu's prisoner car, and their attention was completely attracted by Gao Yao's movements. Yu Shu sighed slightly as he watched Gao Yao leave. At this moment, Yu Shu's eyes changed slightly, because he found a key at the edge of the prisoner car. This made Yu Shu's expression change slightly. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly hid the key.

It was only a few minutes later that Gao Yao returned with his men. Almost immediately, Hutu also returned, but there was no sign of any Xiongnu around.

However, Gao Yao still suggested that for the sake of safety, they should find a suitable place to set up camp, rest for a night, and send more scouts to explore the surroundings. Hutu also decisively accepted this suggestion. For the sake of safety, he even suggested that Hutu separate King Tuan and Yu Shu to guard them separately to avoid any accidents.
