The granary that Ye Qiu was guarding was one of the seven granaries in Wucheng.
Of course, this place is also known as the safest granary, because directly above this granary is the city lord's palace in Wucheng.
As long as a normal person has nothing wrong with his mind, he will not have any thoughts about this granary.
After all, this place is too close to the City Lord's Mansion, and the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion can come to support them in a very short time.
Therefore, Ye Qiu seemed a little idle.
"I don't know what's going on with the war above now. I heard that the west city gate was lost last night. Do you think... these thieves from Houjin will try to touch our granary?"
"Put your heart in your stomach. Even if they have thoughts about the granary, it is absolutely impossible for them to be here. Use your brain to think about it. Our granary is located in the center of Wucheng, even though it is far away from the west gate. Not the farthest, but not the closest either.”
"As long as these Houjin people have any brains, they will not attack us. On the contrary, Ge Da and others must be extremely careful."
The soldier who asked the question nodded, and the confusion on his face disappeared a lot.
At this time, he noticed Ye Qiu, who had empty eyes and a look of despair, and asked:
"Brother Ye, you are young but your skills are extraordinary. I wonder if you can teach us these skills?"
When Ye Qiu heard someone calling him, his empty eyes gradually came back to reality, but he still couldn't hide the laziness in them.
"It's not impossible to teach you."
He scratched his head, took a serious look at the soldier, and then shook his head.
"But... I'm afraid you can't learn this thing."
Hearing this, the soldier's cheeks did not show any trace of disappointment. Instead, he smiled carelessly and said:
"Hey, I knew I didn't have this talent."
"But I really envy you warriors. You can travel around the world and be happy with your enemies. If you just ask a rich man to help you, you will have more money than you can spend."
"Straight bitch! This life is exciting just thinking about it! I also want to..."
Before he finished speaking, he was severely elbowed by his colleague next to him.
The colleague gave him a hard look and said angrily:
"You kid, do you understand that you don't have to open a certain pot and lift a certain pot?"
The soldier seemed to have remembered something, and immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking. However, Ye Qiu smiled helplessly and said nonchalantly: 彡彡
"Actually, walking around the world is not as glamorous as you seem."
"As far as I know, few of the people around me are doing well. Although they have skills, they are closely watched by the court. Anyone who kills people in the street or does something that violates the law , they will be hunted down by spies from the two factories..."
Hearing what he said, the other soldiers suddenly became energetic.
One of the soldiers took out a handful of chestnuts from his arms, hesitated for a moment, separated a small half from it, handed it to Ye Qiu's hand, and then said with a smile:
"Brother Ye, we are all vulgar people with little knowledge. We have nothing to do right now. Please tell us interesting stories about traveling in the world!"
Seeing Li Zi, Ye Qiu suddenly became interested.
He took the chestnut, peeled off the skin, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The soft, waxy and sweet taste fills your mouth. Ye Qiu closed his eyes in enjoyment, chewed slowly, and tasted the taste.
After a while, he put away the rest of the chestnuts, then licked the corners of his mouth with unfinished content and said:
"When it comes to traveling around the world, there's so much fun in it!"
"For example, I have a brother, whose cultivation level is only average. He takes this junior sister around to do chivalry and righteousness, but his life is very hard. I heard that during the worst time, he even went to carry sandbags at the canal transportation."
"Actually... we people in the world of martial arts often do it just to earn a living... Ahem, of course, it is the wish of martial arts practitioners like us to be chivalrous and righteous!"
"I remember one time, when I was on my way to Pingzhou, I encountered a group of bandits robbing merchants. Later, I struck down with my sword and all the bandits were killed. In order to thank me for saving my life, the merchant gave me several taels of silver. "
"You don't know, at that time I had been sleeping in the open for a long time. Finally I had some money, so naturally I wanted to have a big meal, so I..."
Just as Ye Qiu was getting excited about what he was talking about, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that the soldiers around him had no desire to continue listening.
One of the soldiers even yawned unabashedly.
"Haha~yeah~ I'm telling you, little brother Ye, those things about chivalry and righteousness are just the same in the end. Brothers, I don't know how many times I heard them from the storyteller. Don't you have anything more exciting?"
"For example... the only daughter of a foreign minister who was captured by bandits, or the kind who killed all the men in the enemy's family for revenge, and then... hehe..."
Several older men suddenly became interested when they heard this.
Their eyes shone brightly, and they seemed to be reborn!
Ye Qiu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. But soon, he realized what these soldiers really wanted to hear.
Men, that’s all!
But... I am a man who inspires me to become a great hero!
How can you talk about these things to a group of soldiers and ruffians? If word spreads, won't it damage the prestige of my generation of heroes?
Perhaps noticing the change in Ye Qiu's expression, another soldier took out a handful of pine nuts from his arms and waved them in front of Ye Qiu's eyes.
He seemed to say again,
Boy, talk it over!
As long as what you say is in line with my taste, these pine nuts are yours!
But……
I, Ye Qiu, am destined to become a great hero. How could I give up for five buckets of rice?
Besides... pine nuts are not rice, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with bending the waist.
After all, the feeling of starvation is really unbearable!
So Ye Qiu took the pine nuts from the soldier without squinting. After carefully placing it in his arms, he cleared his throat and said:
"Speaking of which, there is one thing that I have never mentioned to others."
"Brothers, just listen, but don't spread the word about this!"
When the soldiers around him heard this, they immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to preach:
"You don't know something. In fact, our great Zhou Dynasty has become increasingly turbulent in recent years."
"Especially the Yuezhou in the south, because of its cooperation with the island countries, it has become more and more out of the control of the imperial court. Although on the surface, the officials of the imperial court are still in office and have not been driven away, but in fact, haha..."
"In recent years, as more and more merchants from island countries come to Yuezhou to trade, Yuezhou's social atmosphere has become more and more open."
"Many young ladies have devoted themselves to a new industry. People over there call it - going to the sea."
