When the scum attack teases the wicked

From that day on, Su Jiuxi no longer mentioned Mi Xun, nor did he allow others to mention it in front of him. He had a cold face all day long, and his whole body exuded a cold aura from inside to outside. Everyone in the barracks was trembling. , I am afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I will be blamed.

It's no wonder that everyone is in danger, it's just that Su Jiuxi is too weird now, first of all, after coming back from nowhere last night, he kept himself locked in the tent, and didn't even listen to Vice General Xu's important report, just coldly A round of "no one is allowed to disturb" came out.

I finally came out this morning, but my face was extremely pale and ugly, and there was a blue color under my eyelids, as if I hadn't slept all night.Seeing his haggard appearance, the soldiers were very worried. They wanted to ask but they didn't dare to ask him.

To be honest, since looking for brothers to come here, His Highness seems to be as cold as before, but they can all see that His Highness has changed a lot, and he is no longer as withdrawn and gloomy as before.

They were thinking like this, but who knew that there was an unusually indifferent and gloomy voice suddenly behind them, and when they looked back, the tall man stood behind him expressionlessly, his beautiful and thin lips moved, and he said coldly, "See Mi Find, kill without mercy!"

The soldiers were all shocked, and one of them couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, what's wrong with looking for brother?"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged down by the soldiers who had received the order from Su Jiuxi, and he was punished with fifty sticks.

In the suddenly tense atmosphere, Su Jiuxi said coldly: "If someone dares to mention this name again, I will be punished a hundred times!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left indifferently.

The soldiers looked at each other and looked at you, confused, and no one could figure it out.But no one dared to mention the word Mi Xun in front of Su Jiuxi.

I dare not mention it in person, and when everyone gathers together in private, it is unavoidable to mention it.

One said it was strange, why did His Royal Highness suddenly change his attitude towards Brother Mi, he didn't care much about Brother Mi before, and even made such a military order for him.

The other echoed the words, and it seemed that something was wrong with His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness after returning from going out the night before.

"The night before?"

A tall and thin soldier scratched his head, as if remembering something, "It seems that Brother Mo went out in the evening the day before yesterday."

"It's only after you said that that I realized that it's been so long, why hasn't Brother Mi come back?"

The soldiers seemed to realize that Mi Xun hadn't returned to the camp for three days. Everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces. Could it be that Mi Xun didn't dare to come back because he knew that the Ninth Prince was going to kill him?

The soldiers discussed it to the end but did not discuss any results, and the matter was finally let go.

After a few days, there was still no trace of Mi Xun. The soldiers should live on or continue to live. Apart from carefully serving Su Jiuxi, whose face was getting colder and more eccentric, they also had another worry.

That is, the grain and grass from Hutou Pass have not been delivered so far, and the grain in the barracks is pitifully low. The soldiers in the camp are counting the rice grains and putting them into the pot, for fear that a grain of rice will be wasted. "Porridge", to put it bluntly, is to add a few grains of rice to boiling water, but even so, there are too many monks and too little porridge. The soldiers are so hungry that they start digging wild vegetables to eat everywhere, but there are no wild vegetables in this wilderness.

The very hungry soldiers had to gnaw on the bark.

Not only did the soldiers not eat well, Su Jiuxi's meals were not so good either. Three meals a day consisted of a bowl of thin porridge and a few steamed buns. That's why he gave away the steamed buns and distributed them to the soldiers.

After three days of this, the urgent secret order sent by Su Jiuxi finally got a response. The people at Hutou Pass wrote back saying that their army rations had not yet arrived, and the food reserves were barely enough for their people, and there was really no way to move them out. Food came to Su Jiuxi, and after reading the letter, Su Jiuxi's face turned livid.

When the lieutenants learned about it, they cursed even more, cursing Li Qiang, the general at Hutou Pass, in the camp.

Chen Ren sighed, and said, "Then Li Qiang was originally Chao Taishi's man, how could he help us? We shouldn't have asked him for help in the first place."

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about now? It's an afterthought! What do you think we should do now?"

"That's right, brother Chen, you have always had the most ideas, you really have an idea!"

Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, Chen Ren blushed, tongue-tied, and said in a low voice, "What idea can I have at this point?"

"No idea? No idea, you talk so much bullshit!"

"Clean your mouth!"

"Oh, I don't have the skills, but I have a bad temper!"

Just when everyone was anxious and complained, and the verbal dispute became more and more intense, there was only a loud "pop", everyone was startled suddenly, and when they looked back, they saw the expression on the face of Su Jiuxi, who was wearing silver armor and black boots. Majestic, looking at them indifferently, thin lips said coldly, "Now is the time when our army is in trouble, and instead of working together to help the general tide over the difficulties, you are still making noise here, what a shame!"

"I will wait until I am convicted, and I hope His Highness will make amends!"

Seeing that Su Jiuxi's face darkened, everyone didn't dare to quarrel anymore, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

Su Jiuxi looked at the person kneeling on the ground under the table, but felt disturbed in her heart, waved her hand, and said coldly: "Get up!"

After everyone thanked them, they got up rustlingly. Chen Ren was the first to get up, and said with a worried face: "Your Highness, our army's food reserves are not enough to last three days. What should we do?"

Su Jiuxi frowned after hearing this, and fell into deep thought, everyone was also frowning, wanting to speak but didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, the tent became strangely quiet. Su Jiuxi suddenly thought of something in this strange quietness. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He opened his tightly pursed lips, looked at a short and fat lieutenant general, and said: " General Xu Fu, there is a field of sweet potatoes in a grove not far from here, tomorrow you bring some people to dig some back."

Hearing Su Jiuxi's words, the frowns of the lieutenants finally relaxed.

"Is there sweet potatoes? Great, I like sweet potatoes!"

"Your Highness still has a solution!"

"You don't have to wait until tomorrow, I'll dig it up today!" Vice General Xu was so happy that he carried himself away, and asked without hesitation, "Your Highness, how did you know that there are sweet potato fields in the grove?"

Su Jiuxi's face froze when she was asked, the memory buried deep in her mind seemed to wake up, and she jumped out uncontrollably, clearly showing the person smiling and handing the peeled sweet potato by the fire. When it was given to him, it was gentle and seductive.

There was a severe pain in the back.

Su Jiuxi clenched her fists.

Trying to maintain a cold expression on his face, he said without any emotion, "Don't ask too much."

Seeing that his face was a little uglier than before, Deputy General Xu felt apprehensive and didn't dare to talk anymore. After getting the order, he left the camp to dig sweet potatoes.

After Vice General Xu left, Chen Ren still looked worried and said worriedly: "Your Highness, even if Vice General Xu finds sweet potatoes, there are so many soldiers in the barracks, I'm afraid they won't last long."

After hearing this, Su Jiuxi pursed her lips tightly, and after pondering for a moment, said: "The order will be passed on. From now on, the meals in the barracks will be changed from three meals to two meals, and the meals of the lieutenants will be changed to one meal a day."

All the lieutenants stared at each other after hearing this, everyone looked embarrassed, it would be fine to change from three meals to two meals, who can bear one meal a day.

Ninth Highness is going to starve us to death.

"Your Highness should have one meal a day, isn't it appropriate?"

Su Jiuxi's phoenix eyes stared at the past sharply, everyone shrank their necks in fright, and no one dared to speak at once, so he said coldly, "This general is the same as you, one meal a day, what else do you have to say?" .”

The lieutenants looked at each other and said, "Since Your Highness Nine sets an example, I will follow His Highness's instructions."

Having said that, there are still many lieutenants who deserve to be unwilling.

At this time, that cold voice sounded again.

"You don't have to worry too much. This general has urged the imperial court to send food. I believe that the imperial court will send food and grass soon."

The lieutenants were a little relieved when they heard this.

Seeing that everyone finally reached an agreement, Su Jiuxi rubbed his forehead wearily, waved his hand, and signaled them to back down.

The lieutenants had nothing else to do after discussing this matter, and retreated in groups after saluting. Just after leaving the camp, one lieutenant couldn't help complaining to Chen Ren, "You said your Highness What do you think, in other military camps, the generals eat first, and the soldiers turn when they are gone, he is lucky, he would rather be hungry than the soldiers eat first, it is really inexplicable!"

Chen Ren laughed and said, "Don't you know His Highness's temperament? He is cold outside and hot inside. He looks cold, but in fact, no one cares about soldiers better than him."

The other person snorted, "He has to be sympathetic to himself, why bother us to be hungry together."

During the conversation, the voice became farther and farther away.

After a few more days like this, Mi Xun still disappeared. The soldiers were full of nostalgia when they ate sweet potatoes and mentioned him, but seeing Su Jiuxi still had a bad expression, especially when the word "Mi Xun" was mentioned, His face was terribly dark, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Seeing that the sweet potatoes were about to be eaten, there was not much food left in the barracks, and the military rations from the court had not yet arrived, Su Jiuxi couldn't help worrying, pacing anxiously in the tent.

The only thing to be thankful for at this moment is that there is no war.

Su Jiuxi sighed deeply.

He was about to go back to the military case and write a letter to urge him, when the anxious and panicked voices of soldiers sounded outside the tent——

"Your Highness, it's not good! The Bao army is attacking!"
