After all, he is not Mo Jinyao, nor does he have Mo Jinyao's extremely powerful skills. If he didn't want to show his feet, he wouldn't just let out his arrow feathers, and dare to covet Xu Zhimo. Do you think you have lived too long
"Mo Jinyao, you don't know what's good and what's wrong, just wait, you'll regret it!" Beidi's general became impatient and began to yell.
What responded to him was a more hasty arrow feather.
The people on the tower saw Beidi's soldiers retreating back in embarrassment, and they were very happy at once, but Ji Xiaoyao couldn't be happy. The national teacher, either has a wide network of contacts, or... has some special means that even the Khan of Beidi will be convinced.
But now it seems that the latter is obviously the most dangerous.
"The order goes on, the whole city is under martial law, especially the General's Mansion, once you see suspicious people, arrest them immediately! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" All the soldiers said in unison, the voice was loud.
Ji Xiaoyao turned to look at Qin Sheng, and said in a low voice,
"How long can our food and grass last?"
"It can last for more than ten days if you use it tightly. If it is still as usual, it will be less than ten days..." A trace of loneliness and sadness flashed across Qin Sheng's eyes.
Food and grass are the foundation of an army. If there is no food and grass, the army will not be far from failure. This is the truth they all understand.
But now they are in the northern border area, which is a severely cold place. Food is not easy to grow here, and the output is not much. Usually, when there is no war, it is still possible to feed an army, but now that Beidi invaded, the food and clothing of the army The cost is naturally much higher than usual, so the supplies and food are naturally insufficient.
As for Shangyong, which is the closest to Hanling Pass, it is only a small city, and naturally it does not stock up so much grain and grass. The grain and grass in Hanling Pass have all been transported from the capital or affluent places close to the capital over the years. But this year... the grain and grass have not arrived.
Ji Xiaoyao glanced at the soldiers who were waiting in full battle. These people are the pride of Tiansheng, and they shouldn't be treated like this.
"Let these soldiers eat and drink well, and I will figure out the rest."
"...you..." Qin Sheng looked at him a little bit.
"Stop talking, keep this place safe, and don't disappoint the prince." Ji Xiaoyao's voice was extremely low, but he could hear a sense of sadness but determination inexplicably.
"… yes."
People in the capital only know that Ji Xiaoyao is an ignorant dude with no professional skills, but they don't know what he looks like in real life.
Ji Xiaoyao went to Xu Zhimo's room again. The servants were guarding Xu Zhimo, not daring to slack off. Ji Xiaoyao pushed the door in and waved his hand, and the servants retreated in an orderly manner.
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Xu Zhimo shook his head, stretched out his hand, struggling to get something, Ji Xiaoyao hurried forward and held his hand, "I told you not to move around, why didn't you listen?"
Xu Zhimo smiled, but did not move, "Can you help me get it?"
"What?" Ji Xiaoyao asked in confusion.
"The jade pendant in the interlayer of my underwear is on my waist."
"..." Ji Xiaoyao panicked inexplicably, or let him figure it out, he doesn't know why he feels this way, it's really...
No way, Ji Xiaoyao still groped for the piece of fabric around his waist. It felt like a soft fabric in his hands, but it didn't have the warm temperature that a human body should have, but a cool feeling like his face.
Ji Xiaoyao's hand stopped just like that, and his whole body was also stunned. This is not a normal temperature that a human should have at all. Could it really be this cold after being infected by a Gu? So is he cold now
Xu Zhimo's slightly smiling voice sounded playful, "Master Ji keeps touching me like this, I really don't know what to do."
Ji Xiaoyao withdrew his hand abruptly, blushing, "Where is it?"
"A little further to the left of the ground you just touched."
This time Ji Xiaoyao stopped talking nonsense, and directly touched in the direction just now.
I really touched a hard round thing, found the gap in the clothes, picked it up with my fingers, grabbed a string, and took it out directly.
Ji Xiaoyao looked at the things in his hand, a jade pendant tied with a piece of round and smooth white jade on a red string, one could tell by the luster that it was a good jade pendant, but it seemed that a piece was missing.
Ji Xiaoyao handed it to him, but Xu Zhimo didn't pick it up.
"this is for you."
"Give it to me?" Ji Xiaoyao looked at the jade pendant in his hand, not knowing what kind of expression he should have. A jade pendant should be a token of love from a man to a woman, right? Xu Zhimo gave it to him? What's the meaning? Ji Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Xu Zhimo just watched his unpredictable expression, and said after a while, "This thing is indeed a token. You take it to Shangyong to find Xu Zhimo, and he will raise food and grass for you."
Ji Xiaoyao was surprised for a while, his eyes widened, and suddenly he felt that it was not ashamed to think that he was a god, "You even know this?"
Xu Zhimo laughed again, and said,
"There is not much food and grass in Hanling Pass, and I have not seen anyone delivering food and grass here all the way. I thought that the food and grass here might not be enough after such a long confrontation, so I brought some food and grass for you. "
Ji Xiaoyao didn't know what to say, he probably knew nothing except martial arts.
"thanks."
"Well, you're welcome." Xu Zhimo said seriously. "Well, I'm so sleepy, I'll take a nap first, then Xu Zhimo closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.
Ji Xiaoyao just looked at it like this, and couldn't help being a little stunned. When he realized what he had done, he quickly suppressed his expression and went out lightly.
Once outside, Ji Xiaoyao went directly to Qin Xiang and handed the jade pendant to her.
"Take this jade pendant and go to the house opposite the Fulai Tavern in Shangyong City to find Second Young Master Xu."
"Yes!" Qin Xiang didn't ask why, but just put away the jade pendant and went out.
Ji Xiaoyao will not harm her, he must have something important to hand over to her, instead of asking why, it is better to do what he should do.
And just tonight, when the whole city was under martial law, a thin and small man came from the direction of Shangyong. Looks sneaky.
Of course, the soldiers at the south gate of Hanling Pass also saw him, and they don't blame them. Just after the prince gave the order, all sneaky people were arrested, and this person looked very sneaky.
Soon five soldiers surrounded him and asked in a cold voice,
