Zhi Xuan

Suidi was originally the capital of Suiguo, and it was destroyed in the chaos of war. It has been a hundred years so far.

As time goes by, after wind, frost, snow and rain, the prosperous city in the past has become ruins.The collapsed buildings are buried in the weeds, and the rammed earth walls covered with vines stretch for several miles. From a distance, they look like rolling hills.

For a hundred years, except for animals and birds, there were few people living near the ruins.A fugitive once came here, but was attacked by wolves and no one survived.

Since then, rumors about Anywhere have spread like wildfire.

Afraid of rumors, no one migrated here.The King of People took care of the descendants of Suihou, and did not confer this place on to them, but set aside another piece of land as their fiefdom.

Year after year, the land is becoming more and more desolate, and the original fields are covered by weeds.The wild millet and the wild wheat grew and no one reaped them, and they all fell into the stomachs of wild beasts.

Today, the place that had been desolate for a long time suddenly became lively.

Two teams of soldiers arrived at the front and back, each leading a hundred ordinary people and slaves pushing carts, and settled down in the random place.

The soldiers are fully armed and are wary of each other, but there is no greater hostility.

The two sides camped [-] meters apart, hurriedly cleared the dead grass and stones on the ground, pitched tents as quickly as possible, built camps, and erected fences around the camps.

The team led by the black armor was significantly faster.

The reason is simple. The number of people working is the same, but the tools used are very different, and the efficiency is naturally different.

The black-armored soldier came from Zhidi, and the common people and slaves he led had participated in the construction of the new city, and all they carried were remodeled tools, which made them work with ease and with half the effort.

After the camp was set up, the common people and slaves did not rest, but divided into different teams, some stayed in the camp to dig the stove, and the other went out with hunting tools.

On the way there, they found a herd of deer and many rabbits flying in the grass.

The common people reported to the soldiers and decided to take people to hunt deer and hares for extra meals.If the harvest is enough, it can also be used as rations for the next few days, which can save a lot of corn.

Chief Jia dispatched two armies of soldiers to take care of the safety on the way. The common people and slaves prepared tools and ropes, removed the fence and left the camp, and rushed to the place where the deer appeared.

In contrast, the construction of another camp was much slower.

The soldiers from Zhao land saw that the two sides were working together, and their progress was far behind. They couldn't help but look suspiciously at the ordinary people who built the camp.

"Why so slow?" asked the chief armor.

The common people expressed their grievances.

They have followed Zhao Hao for many years, and have set out with Zhao Hao many times, and the speed of camping is definitely not slow.Pull it out for a comparison, and think that you will not lose to any army of the vassal states.

The problem is that the opponent's speed is too fast, beyond common sense.

There were fences blocking them, so it was impossible to see how they moved. We could only see a group of people enthusiastically digging the soil and laying down wooden stakes, and tents were erected one after another.The tents are not only the same size, but also neat and orderly, even the shape and color are the same, there is no reason for it!

Chief Jia recalled carefully, and compared with every expedition, he also felt that the movements of his subordinates were not slow.

But why is there such a difference?

Seeing that the fence was removed on the opposite side, a group of people came out in a file, all carrying bows, arrows, sticks and ropes, obviously going to hunt, Chief Jia and the common man in charge of the camp looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Such a speed, such an approach, is it human?Inhuman too!

"Forget it, let's work."

The facts are in front of him, he can't catch up even if he flatters his horse, and it's not good for Chief Jia to continue to blame his subordinates, so he can only let the other party speed up as much as possible, don't wait for the other party to start eating, he has not finished setting up the camp here.

Both are from the armies of the great vassal states, and both are under the command of the son of the prince. If the difference is too big, it will be unsightly.

The common people also understood this truth, turned around and called a few strong men, and solemnly ordered them to go down and work hard.

"Look at the other side, then look at yourself, don't brag about following Gongzi Hao to fight, whether you blush or not!"

The common people of Zhao land blushed at the words.

They were unconvinced and felt wronged.Obviously, the speed of working is fast enough, and he can pat his chest to guarantee that he will definitely be among the best among all the princes, but he is compared to the mud by the other side.

Ruoyan wanted speed over quality, and if the tent wasn't pitched well, he was talking nonsense with his eyes open.But why can they work so fast and tent so beautifully?

After the work is done, go hunting!

I'm aggrieved, I've never been so aggrieved!

Don't you have the strength?

of course not!

But it was compared to scum!

The common people and slaves of Zhao land worked in frustration, setting up camp at a faster speed.The more you work, the more you realize the gap between each other, and the degree of holding your breath will increase to a higher level.

While they were busy setting up tents, the camp on the opposite side suddenly became noisy.

The hunting team returned with a full load, hunted more than 30 fat deer, emptied two rabbit nests, and found many holes hiding wild wheat and wild millet.

The ordinary people who led the team were very experienced. After checking the terrain, it was estimated that there could not be only one or two similar caves, and there must be others nearby.Immediately let some people go back to the camp to deliver the letter, and I brought more than ten people to stay and guard.When help arrives with tools and carts, excavate immediately in pieces.

This digging didn't matter, and an underground granary was dug out.

Judging from the remaining traces, it was originally a ditch, which was buried underground for some reason, attracting a large number of hares and wild mice to burrow nearby.

These small animals are very good at storage, especially the voles, who collect a lot of food for the winter, mostly wild millet and wild wheat that grow anywhere, and a lot of grass seeds.

The grain grains grown in the wild are not full enough, so they are naturally not as good as artificial cultivation.

Can't stand the number.

In the era when most people can't eat enough, who would dislike food?Bran can save lives!

Wielding shovels and hoes, more than 200 people dug one after another burrows full of grains, trapping the hares and voles that rushed out.

In less than half an hour, the dug out wild valleys were full of pockets, and a batch had to be sent back first.

Seeing the food brought back, Chief Jia was very surprised, and the accompanying doctor Xia walked out of the tent, knowing what happened, he persuaded Chief Jia and the assistant officer to tell the opposite side the news.

"Young Master will be here soon. I will wait for your trust and come to clean up the camp first. I need to think carefully."

Anywhere in the land of no man, whoever discovers the things here will belong to them, without any objection.Even if you don't tell the other side, no one can find out the reason.

It's just that the two teams came here with a mission in mind. When camping, they overwhelmed each other to show their strength. Now they are exchanging news to sell favors and ease the relationship.

Chief Jia and the assistant officer considered for a moment, and agreed to Dr. Xia's proposal.

Anyway, the two sides have designated their own areas, and there is a real hole in the opposite side, and they can't go there to dig it, so it's better to sell favors.

"I'll go in person." The assistant officer volunteered.

"Alright."

Doctor Xia and Chief Jia didn't object, and the assistant officer immediately pointed out a few people, packed two bags of wild grains they dug, and then carried a deer, and went out of the camp to visit the opposite side.

Their sudden visit caught Zhao's team by surprise.After hearing their reason for coming and seeing the wild valleys and deer in front of them, the Chief Jia sent by Zhao Hao felt ashamed while being grateful.

"It's getting late, Jun should send people to search nearby as soon as possible."

When the words came, Zuo Guan didn't stop, and was about to leave with his fists clasped.

Chief Jia stopped him quickly, and ordered someone to bring a bag of salt and four pickled pork legs, and solemnly gave them to the other party.

The assistant officer didn't refuse, he readily accepted the thank you, and then led him back to the camp.

Not long after they left, Chief Jia ordered people to search around the camp, and they found traces of wild rats.Follow the clues to find the underground cave. After digging, the cave is full of wild valleys, which are eye-catching yellow.

"So much millet!"

The eyes of the common man who dug the hole were stared, and his cheeks were flushed with excitement.

The soldiers leading the team did not give up too much.

Who would be unhappy that so much food came for nothing?

"Dig, dig quickly!"

Due to the inappropriate tools, the speed of digging food in Zhaodi was a bit slow, but it did not dampen their enthusiasm at all.

Until late at night, burrows were still discovered one after another.

"Fire the torches!"

The chief Jia ordered to dig food overnight, and everyone lit torches, and the soldiers were fully armed, enough to deter the wild animals that preyed at night.

In the dark night, the two camps were brightly lit, and the dug up grains were constantly sent back to the camp.Many people stayed up all night, but they didn't feel sluggish at all, but became more energetic.

As dawn approached, the wild valleys in the two battalions were piled up into hills.The return speed of the grain carts began to slow down, and the amount of grain in the carts became less and less. On the contrary, there were more hares and voles.

At noon, with the two camps as the center, the radiating boundaries were all cleaned up, and no more holes could be found, so the two sides stopped fighting.

After returning to the camp, everyone's stomachs started to growl.

Looking at each other, they finally realized that from yesterday to now, they have not eaten a grain of rice.

Because I found that the food was too excited, I didn't feel it at all when I was working. Now I stopped, the temple of the five internal organs started to scream, and the feeling of hunger suddenly surged.

"Steam millet rice and cook broth!"

In the Zhidi camp, the harvested wild valleys piled up into mountains.

The next doctor and the Jia chief rewarded the whole camp, regardless of whether the soldiers, common people or slaves were full.

When it comes to eating, Zhidi's subordinates have a unique style of painting, just like Young Master Xuan, they are never stingy with their subordinates.Even if hands were tight before, with Zhixuan as his immediate boss, his style of work would gradually change.

The advantage of doing this is that the people of Zhidi are becoming more loyal day by day, they are active and conscientious in doing things, they work with quality and quantity, and they will take the initiative to find omissions.Like the case of Ye Gu, if it was a person with harsh nature, common people and slaves would not report it if they found out.

Now there is no shortage of food in the camp, and there is still a lot of meat. As a reward, everyone should have a good meal.

Soon, the smell of meat wafted from the camp, mixed with the smell of millet and rice, making everyone's stomach growl even louder.

When the millet and rice were steamed and the broth was tumbling in the pot, the army cook tapped the long spoon and let everyone line up with his voice open.

"Line up, don't squeeze!"

The common people lined up quickly, and the millet and rice in the bowl stood out, and then poured a spoonful of broth, not to mention how fragrant it was.Soldiers can also get a piece of meat.Slaves cannot eat broth, but it is quite satisfying to be able to fill their stomachs.

After distributing the millet and broth, the soldiers formed a circle by themselves, and they had to pay attention to the rules when eating.

The common people don't pay much attention to it, they mostly gather together with their rice bowls in their hands, talking while eating, and Zhi Xuan is mentioned inside and outside the conversation.

"I heard that the two young masters met, and it was Young Master Xuanxuan who chose Sui Di."

"really?"

"I was working before, so I listened to what the doctor said to others." The common man was triumphant, seeing the expressions of several people, he took two mouthfuls of food very happily.

"No wonder everyone says that Young Master Xuan is a man of Heaven's care!" An older commoner said, "People in the world think that any place is desolate, and no household has moved in for a hundred years. What is the result?" Speaking of this, the commoner He slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "There is so much food here, just dig it, it's all for nothing!"

Everyone thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

Before that, Anywhere had always been known as barren, and no one thought there would be food here.In addition, the geographical location is not so important, even the king's meeting has never been chosen here.

This time when the two young masters met, Zhi Xuan suggested that they could go anywhere, and everyone worried that if they stayed for a long time, they would not have enough food.Who would have thought that there would be unexpected gains just after arriving.

Several people talked more and more vigorously, and their voices attracted more people to join the topic.

Soon, word of "Young Master Xuantian Gu's man" spread throughout the camp.

This wind spread to the camp on the opposite side, and some armored soldiers who followed Zhao Hao on the hunt showed up to testify, further proving Zhi Xuan's supernatural powers.

"Young Master Xuan is really extraordinary."

Once or twice is a coincidence, how many times?

It is clearly Tian Gu, who has been blessed by God!

As the so-called brother is not in the arena, there are still legends about him in the arena.Young Master Xuan once again passively showed up to speak.

Zhi Xuan hadn't set off yet, so he didn't know what happened anywhere.

In view of the importance of this meeting, the guard of honor must be prepared for the trip, and gifts must be carried, so it will naturally take time to prepare.

In addition, despite the obstruction, the government ordered someone to make new clothes for him, and prepare jade ornaments and colored treasures.Ordinary accessories are not counted, even the belt and hair crown are re-inlaid.

Zhi Xuan tried on the new clothes, and knew how "dazzling" he was without looking.

He deliberately wanted to reduce two items, but the government official shook his head like a rattle, and there was only one sentence in his mouth: "You can't fall into the prestige of your son!"

Being too stubborn for this old man, Zhi Xuan could only resign himself to his fate and honestly be a jewelry display stand.

There were still two days before the departure, and all the affairs in the fief were properly arranged, and the tribute team sent people back to report safety, saying that they would arrive in the central capital soon.

The person escorting the assassin also sent back news that the team had arrived in the western capital and was preparing to put on a big show in the city according to the plan.

Putting down the bamboo slips, Zhixuan immediately felt happy when he thought of the situation Mi Shi would face after the event was completed.

It’s just that it’s all fun, and for future considerations, he needs to reach a cooperation with Zhao Hao as soon as possible, so that he can hold more bargaining chips and stand in a higher position.Only in this way can the powerful enemy be cautious, and dare not easily cross the threshold without being absolutely sure.
