Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Under the dark night sky, piles of campfires were dotted across the ground. In front of the largest bonfire in the center, a man with a thick beard was using a scimitar to slice meat from a fat two-legged sheep.

"These Chinese people have delicate skin and tender meat, and they taste delicious. Would you like to try them?"

The eagle in the sky, the handsome man, the strongest man of the northern barbarians, Yu Gaotian glanced at the bearded man and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

The bearded man shook his head, picked up the roasted woman on the ground, left the campfire, and went aside to enjoy the food.

After the annoying people left, Yu Gaotian looked at everyone and said, "Those Chinese people are not trustworthy. Food is running out, and that evil ghost from hell is right across from Yujing City!"

"If those Chinese people don't come tomorrow, I decide to leave here, grab a few cities and go back."

Sitting around the campfire were the leaders of the various tribes, as well as generals from the Western Regions. They were all thinking about Yu Gaotian's words, and did not express their opinions immediately.

Yu Gaotian didn't care what they thought. He picked up the dagger at hand, cut a piece of mutton, and slowly began to eat it, while his eyes were looking at the tall city wall in the distance.

When will these barbarians be able to build such a city?

Yu Gaotian is very smart and has loved learning since he was a child. He is particularly interested in the land of China. Why do people here make such exquisite artifacts?

Is this a place favored by God?

As one of the barbarian leaders, Yu Gaotian also has a very far-sighted vision. He is not a madman who only knows how to kill people. Instead, he compares himself to a civilized person and learns etiquette and morality.

"We are all human beings, why do they look so noble?"

Yu Gaotian often thought about this question, so when he grew up, he would often chat with the captured Chinese people. Those who were educated would be given better treatment, allowing them to stay and marry and have children.

Although he wanted to make all the barbarians become civilized people like him, it was a very difficult thing to do.

For the barbarians, having enough food to eat every day is enough, and they have no intention of thinking about what civilization is!

They are honest when they have food to eat and they fight for food when they don't. This has been their way of behavior since ancient times and it is extremely difficult to change.

Yu Gaotian was no stranger to Gongzi Jun. The two had dealt with each other several times, and a few days ago he almost burned this evil ghost from China to death in a fire.

Just as Yu Gaotian was thinking, the night patrol came back, the sound of hurried footsteps rang in his ears, and then a half-grown boy appeared beside the campfire.

"Father! The evil ghost seems to have run away with someone!"

Yu Gaotian was stunned, and asked as if he didn't hear clearly: "Chahan, what did you say?"

Chahan said with a tense face, "The people who were monitoring the evil ghost just now came back to report that when the sun was about to set, the evil ghost rushed out of the camp with the group of golden-armored ghost soldiers."

"After they came out, they were divided into more than ten groups and began to clear out the watchers around them. When the sun completely set and it got dark, they did not return to the camp, but ran south instead."

"Father, what do you think we should do now?"

Yu Gaotian frowned: "How do you know he ran away? Is there anyone still in that camp now?"

Chahan shook his head: "I haven't had time to send anyone to check it out yet. I just came to inform you as soon as I got the news."

"Explore again! Find a few brave ones!"

Yu Gaotian finished speaking calmly, then looked up at the huge city standing on the earth in the distance, the fire in his eyes flickering.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Chahan hurried away to arrange people.

Because the army left at night, the Northern Barbarians were able to discover them because someone was watching them.

The defenders of Yujing City did not know that Yao Jun and the Yao Kingdom army had left. They just looked at the campfire in the distance and whispered about the rumors they heard today.

"Today I heard that General Liu and General Ming had a fight over food and fodder. If General Zi hadn't stopped them, they might have resorted to violence."

"I heard about that, too. By the way, have you noticed that the meals have become less and less these days?"

"Less?"

A soldier turned around and pointed his mouth towards the city and said, "When I came here, I saw people in the East City roasting lambs. They said they were sending them to the general and his men."

"Haha, we are just small soldiers, how can we compare with others."

"Yes, we work hard, but the ones who enjoy the benefits are the adults who are high above us."

"I heard there's a banquet going on in the Heavenly Palace today. I wonder who's going to be there. There's bound to be a lot of delicious food. Oh, and my wife said the price of food in the city has gone up."

“Not just food, everything has gone up in price.”

“Our days are becoming increasingly difficult.”

"I wonder how long Yujing will be trapped?"

No one could answer his question because they were just ordinary soldiers defending the city and could not decide the next military action.

At this time, in the military camp in the city, all the senior generals in Yujing City had arrived, even Wei Fang and the general were there.

Today's banquet was granted by the Queen. In view of the fact that they all held important positions, she did not force them to enter the palace, but instead ordered people to prepare a banquet in the military camp.

However, these arrogant nobles had no idea what kind of impact this incident had caused among the defenders.

It was also on this night that Wei Fang's fourth son, Wei Wujiu, was kidnapped on his way home after drinking with friends.

The next day, Wei Wujiu woke up in the room of the General of Cavalry's youngest daughter and was caught red-handed.

In theory, this book doesn't say anything if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried.

But the problem is that Wei Wujiu already has a wife, who is the daughter of a scholar-official of the time and holds real power!

The husband of this youngest daughter is the second son of Si Tu, one of the three highest officials of the dynasty. He already has a son. He came back today to visit his parents and stayed in his former boudoir in the evening.

Although the two did nothing and said they were murdered, no one believed them!

Moreover, even if Wei Fang and his old rival wanted to join forces to suppress it, it was too late. The scandal had already begun to spread in the city, causing the two of them to be furious and to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Then the 'mastermind' was found, although no strong evidence was found to prove that person did it, only a corpse.

But this corpse has a great background. He was a servant in the general's house. Further investigation revealed that he had an uncle who was a steward in the third prince's house!

And a more important clue is that the third prince’s wife is the general’s second daughter!

Now the situation is clear.

Four big words appeared in the minds of Wei Fang, the old prime minister, the general of cavalry and others at the same time.

The throne of the emperor!

"There are still 100,000 foreigners outside the city. Are they impatient?" Wei Fang was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill people.

Old Situ was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't say a word. He only ordered the old nanny in the mansion to check his daughter-in-law's body. The meaning was self-evident.

And this was just the beginning. On the night of the banquet, more than fifty incidents of varying sizes occurred in the city.

However, even if someone suspected whether these things were a conspiracy, there was no time to think about it, as everyone was shocked by a bombshell piece of news.

The Yao Kingdom's army disappeared, leaving only an empty camp by the Pei River!

The news began to spread in the city like a virus.

Everyone shuddered when they thought of the 100,000 ferocious foreign coalition forces outside the city.

The defenders who got up early to change guard found an arrow tied with cloth on the top of the city wall, with a sincere message written on it.

Insufficient food and grass, retreat first - Jun

At the same time, Yao Jun, riding on Wuya, was coming out of an Acropolis with enough food and fodder for five days.

Looking at the rising sun from the east, Yao Jun curled up the corners of his mouth.

A good day starts with transporting food.
