After working for a long time and feeling like he had convinced all the farm workers, Ou Ya dragged his tired body back to Diao Si and sat down.
"Have you thought of any ideas?" Ou Ya asked him, probably because she saw Diao Si looking so carefree and leisurely. This was something she had been thinking about, but she didn't have any other ideas.
Diao Si smiled after hearing this and responded: "I thought you had some good ideas, sir. My idea will affect the close relationship between the royal family and the Lei Gang family, and you will not agree."
"You are still angry about what happened just now. You are not unaware of what happened just now. With Count Lepi's attitude, do we really want to rob him?" Ou Ya explained.
After hearing this, Diao Si said, "Well, if I want to take people to steal the grain from Lightning Strike now, would you object?"
"It would be great if I could really steal it. I'm afraid that the Count's place is heavily guarded now, and you may not be able to get past it even if you try to steal it." Ou Ya responded, her voice already a little weak.
"What you mean is that if I can get her food without knowing it, you can..." Diao Si was still talking when he noticed that Ou Yana's body suddenly leaned against his. The beauty actually fell asleep.
It's no wonder that she didn't sleep much last night. She walked all the way to the city and did so much work in the queue of farmers and workers. It was strange that she wasn't tired.
So Diao Si picked her up and took her back to her room. The little beauty was still sleeping soundly and looked very attractive. Diao Si couldn't help but get close to her face, but he didn't kiss her. Afraid that this would wake her up.
Well, while Ou Ya was asleep, Diao Si happened to deploy his plan. He had already thought about it. The food in Lei Pi's house could not be stolen or snatched. His target was to steal the food from the three soldiers last time. I learned about the food shipped from the Imperial City every afternoon.
He needs to bring a group of farm workers to intercept this batch of grain on the way into the city. In fact, this is equivalent to taking away Lei Pi's grain from her granary. Diao Si wanted to give Lei Pi a subtle blow, to make her feel the pain of not having food!
From the analysis of the drawings, Diao Si determined the route from the imperial city to transporting food here. This was still a certain distance from their village, so the farmers and workers must be mobilized immediately.
Then Diao Si told the farm workers who were still worried about food problems that they had to eat early today. Such news made the farmworkers confused, but they all rushed over to queue up, and did not feel relieved because they had eaten early.
Just when they were almost done eating, Diao Si loudly told them that a batch of food to support them would be shipped from the Imperial City later, but due to transport vehicles and other reasons, the food could not be sent here directly, and they had to go there. portage.
Diao Si said this not only to lead these people to carry food, but also to make everyone feel relieved. This is a critical period. The crops here are expected to have their first harvest tomorrow morning, and this batch of food from the Imperial City will just make up for this gap.
The farm workers were very happy after hearing this. They had been worried about this problem all along. Now they could get food and continue to eat it. Not to mention having to carry it on the road, they were even willing to cross mountains and rivers.
However, just when Diao Si was about to set off, Ou Ya, who had already woken up, suddenly appeared again. She thought Diao Si was going to lead people to snatch Lei Pi's food, so she immediately came to object. But after learning about it, she knew that Diao Si's goal was not the town, and she didn't know about Lei Pi's original assistance. She could only guess about Diao Si's true purpose.
It was almost done. Diao Si didn't want to explain too much to Ou Ya. He reminded Gong Long to protect Ou Ya, and then led a selected strong team of farmers and workers and set off towards the road to transport food to the imperial city over there. . It was still some distance away, but they would be there by noon.
In fact, this was also a last-ditch battle, because none of these people had brought any food with them. They were destined to wait for the batch of food before they could eat. If the food had to wait until night, they might all starve.
Relatively speaking, the agricultural workers left behind in Ouya were a little better off. After Diao Si took away some of the agricultural workers, they could still have another full meal, but this could only last until noon, and then they would be free. Waiting for Diao Si and the others to come back.
However, Diao Si believed that they would not mess around, because he had given them hope that the food aid would arrive soon. As long as this hope was not shattered, they would definitely be able to support it.
But if the food from the imperial city over there doesn't arrive as expected, Diao Si may have to lead this group of people to attack Lei Pi's big house to rob it. Of course, this was the worst plan, and Diao Si didn't want to get into trouble with Lei Pi like this, as it would seriously affect their food mission.
However, when Diao Si and the others were about to reach the road transporting food, he unexpectedly discovered that there were a large number of soldiers there. It turns out that Lei Pi also maintained such an army. She arranged most of the soldiers on this road to ensure that food could be transported safely.
This guy is very careful, because the food transported is the guarantee for their survival. This road is the road of life for them, and of course they will not take it lightly. However, this also reassured Diao Si, because he could confirm that there was indeed such a thing as food aid, and that it was on this road.
Even though this place is heavily guarded, Diao Si is still confident that he can give Lei Pi a crack in the tiger's mouth, because since it is a road, it can be extended indefinitely. They can guard this section of the road with heavy troops, but they cannot cut off the road leading to the imperial city. Keep all roads.
So Diao Si only had to go around to the other side of the road, to a place where there were no soldiers guarding him, and get the batch of grain before it arrived here, so that he would be unnoticed.
We need to act quickly, it is already noon, and the batch of food is likely to arrive soon. So Diao Si took out the map again, decided on the route, and then led his team there.
Very good, there were indeed no guards ahead, but it was not far enough. Actions here might be discovered by the guards, so they went around to the road ahead. Diao Si first let everyone rest for a while, then continued to lead them along the transportation road for a while, until they stopped at a fork in the road.
The mountains surrounding Chihu City can be seen from a distance, but it is far, far away from Chihu City, especially Ouya's village. At the same time, the farmers and workers are already hungry.
"Okay, let's just wait here. The food provided by the Imperial City will arrive soon. Just support us for a while, and then we will be full." Diao Si continued to say this, hoping to let everyone These people keep that little bit of hope alive.
But things didn't go too far. They waited like this for several hours, but there was still no news on the road, and it just flowed there quietly.
There are no plants around here, especially when the sun rises in the afternoon, it is so hot that some houseworkers can't stand it anymore and even take off all their clothes. Everyone is sitting there to rest in a scattered manner. Hungry is starting to make them sit a little. Can't stand it anymore.
But where can there be any food near Blazing Lake City, where there has been a famine? They could only stay like that, looking eagerly at the other end of the road, hoping that the batch of food would suddenly appear.
"Sylph, let me see where our food is..." In fact, Diao Si had already used the magic of refraction, but because of the long distance and too many roads, he couldn't find it.
It was only then that Diao Si finally found some transportation teams on the hilly road ahead. Although the items being transported could not be clearly seen, the people heading towards Chihu City were almost certainly the food aid teams.
But at the same time, he also discovered that the transportation team was led by a small army. There was still a little light in those people, and there were probably many powerful warriors there.
But now that they have come to this point, Diao Si must take away this batch of food no matter what, because not only are these farm workers dying now, but Ouya and the others in the village should also be starting to starve now. (To be continued)
