Qingshi found Duan and Chen, and then told them in detail about the situation of the spirit-loving rat and rabbit.
"Oh my God!" Chen Tianye said, "It turns out that little thing looks cute and cute, but is actually so hateful."
"Grandma," Duan Wutian scolded, "Fuyu is really vicious, we have to find a way to stop him."
"Yes," Qingshi said, "We must find a way. The way I am currently thinking of is to expose Fuyu's conspiracy in the army, point out the threat of the spirit-loving rats and rabbits to the eradication of Shenmai, and persuade everyone to kill these spirit-loving rats and rabbits together. Pika.”
"Yeah!" Duan Wutian nodded and said, "If the people in Baiyun City don't join the war tomorrow, we persuade everyone to kill these ghost-loving rats and rabbits and protect the divine wheat from extinction while easily picking the divine wheat. There should still be no questionable."
"This method should be feasible," Chen Tianye said, "but it's not good enough."
"Oh?" Duan Wutian asked curiously, "Slutbeard, do you have any better ideas?"
"Not yet," Chen Tianye's beard had already grown out. He stroked his thick eyebrows and said, "But I think that to deal with scum like the Communist Party of China, it is better to use reason than to lure them." profit!"
"That's true!" Duan Wutian said, "What are you going to do? Purchase the body of the spirit-loving pika at a high price?"
"Absolutely not!" Chen Tianye said, "If these guys know that you have a large amount of spiritual stones to buy the spirit-loving pikas, then they will not kill the pikas and come to kill you instead."
"Then what should we do?" Duan Wutian said, "These gadgets are neither precious refining materials, nor can they be sold as spiritual stones. If they are eaten, they will not even fill the gap between the teeth. How can we lure them for profit?"
"Haha, there's a way!" Qingshi laughed and said, "No one knows the psychic rat rabbit anyway, so no one knows what special function this gadget has. So, if we say it is precious, it is precious , we say it’s worth something, it’s worth something!”
"Yes!" Chen Tianye's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Let's put on a good show and turn this hateful little thing into a cute little baby, hahaha..."
······
The wheat harvest battle on this day was very gentle. The people in Baiyun City were no longer as desperate as yesterday. They retreated at sunset. After a brief statistics by both sides, they found that the casualties were very few, less than half compared to yesterday. This result was a big surprise to the Communist Army. Of course, the Communist Army harvested 10% more wheat today than yesterday, so they were very happy.
After harvesting more divine wheat and reducing casualties, the Communist Army was in high spirits. After returning to the camp, many people took out wine and food to celebrate.
After nightfall, thousands of tents stretched from the defense wall at the entrance of the valley to several miles away, like a long line of lights, which was spectacular.
The middle part of this long dragon has the flattest and widest terrain, so the tents are also the densest. The tents of Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye, the captain and deputy captain of the Rongli Army Forward Battalion, were set up here.
Duan and Chen built a fire pit with stones outside the tent. At this time, the charcoal was burning brightly in the fire pit. More than twenty four-legged beasts that had been cleaned and seasoned were suspended above the fire pit. Turn over slowly, and it will be roasted until it is sizzling with oil and aroma.
Among the army of more than 20,000 people, there are not many people who are doing barbecue. However, the barbecue cooked by Duan and Chen is extremely fragrant and full of temptations that make people eat. This is not comparable to other barbecues. Yes.
Therefore, a large number of soldiers came to watch, curious to see what delicacies the two captains had prepared.
This was naturally the Psychic Pika that Qingshi quietly stole. With yesterday's experience, Qingshi once again sneaked under the car where he stole the Psychic Pika last night and stole more than 20 of them in one go. However, this was the limit. , because living things cannot be packed into storage containers.
Qingshi hadn't done this floating barbecue for a long time, and now he used his tricks, which naturally made a lot of foodies drool.
Three people squeezed in, and the leader smiled and said: "Brother Duan, Brother Chen," what are you doing? It smells weird! hehe......"
Duan and Chen took a look and found out that it was Ma Lu, the deputy commander of the left guard battalion of the Rongli Army, Mu Qian, the second captain, and Stuping, the third captain.
"Oh!" Chen Tianye said with a smile, "It turns out to be Lao Ma Ge and Captain Mu and Captain Si! This thing is the kind of little beast I asked you to identify last night! Lao Duan and I made a lot of them. It turns out that We thought they were some rare spiritual material, but no one recognized them, so we simply slaughtered them and barbecued them, but to our surprise, they tasted amazing!"
"Oh," Madru said, "it turns out to be that little thing! Hmm~ It smells good, but it's a pity that it's too small and can't fit between the teeth! Haha, two brothers, can you let me try it? ah?"
"No problem," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Brother Ma, wait a moment, it's not cooked yet!"
Madru, Mu Qian and Stuping also sat down on the floor like Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye. Everyone got some wine and drank and chatted while waiting for the food to be cooked.
After a while, several more people joined them, namely Tai Yang, the first captain of the forward battalion, Ha Ke, the deputy commander of the rear guard battalion, and Yingqi, the third captain of the rearguard battalion, Su Man, the deputy commander of the first battalion of the Gongli Army, and the deputy commander of the fifth battalion. Meng Zhu and team leader Tai Ming.
Although there were many people watching, the only ones who could enter the circle to sit on the floor with Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye and ask for a meal were the generals whose status was no less than theirs.
Soon, the spiritual pika was cooked, and Chen Tianye gave one to everyone. Everyone ate it together, and naturally they all exclaimed how delicious it was. The pika was very small, not as big as a hare, so they couldn't bear to eat it in two bites. , they just chewed and drank wine slowly.
Everyone was eating and drinking happily, so one person might as well rush in and punch Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye, while beating and scolding them: "You two perverted foodies..." They were beaten so hard that they were beaten. The mouse ran away holding its head, begging for mercy again and again.
Everyone was shocked and took a closer look. It turned out that this person was Qingshi, the deputy commander of the forward battalion and the boss of Duan and Chen.
"Commander Qing," Madlu held Qingshi, "Commander Qing, calm down! Calm down, calm down... Why are you doing this?"
Qingshi was pulled by Madru and the others, so he had to stop, but he pointed at Duan and Chen and continued to curse: "You two bastards, you don't let go of such a bit of meat, do you know what you are eating? Waste of spiritual materials! Waste of natural resources! I spent a lot of effort to get this earthly spiritual beast..."
"I'm sorry! Brother," Duan Wutian said in fear, "We didn't know this thing was precious!"
"Aren't they just some big rats?" Chen Tianye murmured in a low voice, "You can just eat it. At worst, you can just catch some more!"
"What did you say?" Qingshi said angrily, "What big rat? This is an earth spirit beast! This strange beast has been extinct in the Shenmu Continent for nearly a thousand years. Where can you catch it? Catch one and let me see."
"It's been extinct for thousands of years?" Chen Tianye was stunned and then said, "Then where did you get it?"
"It's none of your business!" Qingshi said, "Anyway, I spent a lot of effort and money to get these earth spirit beasts. You two guys have to pay for it!"
"Compensate, compensate!" Duan Wutian said, "We will just compensate!"
"There are twenty-five in total," Qingshi said, "Just pay five thousand high-grade spiritual stones!"
"ah?"
Everyone was shocked.
"This..." Duan Wutian hesitated, "Boss, you are too cruel!"
"Am I still ruthless?" Qingshi said, "To tell you the truth, I spent so much money to buy these earth spirit beasts, and I didn't even ask for a single spirit stone. If someone steals my treasure, I won't take his life. That’s weird.”
"No way?" Chen Tianye said, "Is this thing so valuable?"
"That's right!" Qingshi said, "The key is that you can't buy it even if you have money."
"Commander Qing," Meng Zhu said suddenly, "this thing can actually be obtained."
"Really?" Qingshi said sarcastically, "Okay, then please ask Commander Meng to get some for me. I'll buy one of the two hundred high-grade spiritual stones."
"Really?" Meng Zhu said, "Is this little spiritual beast really so valuable?"
"Of course!" Qingshi said, "Am I still lying to you? As long as you can get it, I will buy them all."
"Well..." Meng Zhu said thoughtfully, "It's troublesome to get some, but it's not impossible. Well, if you tell me why this little beast is so valuable, I will find a way to get some. sell to you."
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "To be honest, this earth spirit beast is a strange beast, and its essence and blood are the holy medicine for healing. No matter it is external or internal injuries, no matter how serious the injury is, using the earth spirit beast's essence and blood It has miraculous effects in treatment. A skilled alchemist can also use its essence and blood to refine six-star or even seven-star healing pills, and its efficacy can even bring the dead back to life. You think, isn't such a strange beast worth so much money?"
"You can't believe what you say," Meng Zhu said. "Unless I can see it with my own eyes, I won't believe that this little beast is so magical."
"That's right," Chen Tianye said, "Boss, you want us to lose money, that's okay, but if you want us to pay so much, you have to show us the magic of this gadget to see if it's worth so much. Money!”
"Tch~" Qingshi said, "You guys have already eaten it, how can I show it to you?"
"Hehe," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "I still have one here!"
With that said, Chen Tianye took out a sleeping rat-rabbit from his arms.
"It's true," Qingshi shouted, "Bring it to me!" He snatched the spirit-loving pika and put it into his arms.
"Why are you holding it up?" Chen Tianye said, "Aren't you going to demonstrate it to us?"
"That's it," Qingshi said, "I can't bear to part with it. I have to keep it to make elixirs. It might be able to save my life at a critical moment!"
"Commander Qing," Meng Zhu said, "How about you give us a demonstration? It just so happens that one of my brothers was seriously injured today. As long as you can use this little beast to heal him, I will try my best to find a way to give it to you. Get a few of them, and I’ll buy this one for two hundred pieces.”
"Seriously?" Qingshi asked, "Can you really get it?"
"It's absolutely true!" Meng Zhu said sternly, "If you get one of my two hundred divine wheat, I will sell it to you. If you don't get it, I will pay you two hundred divine wheat. I just ask you to try to save my brother."
"Hmm~" Qingshi thought for a while and said, "Okay, where is your brother? Let him come over."
"It would be great if he could still come over," Meng Zhu sighed, "I hope he's not dead yet. Fourth and fifth, go and carry Hao Zhen over."
"Yes!" Two soldiers in the crowd agreed and turned around.
"Don't worry, Deputy Commander Meng," Duan Wutian said, "Our boss Qingshi is a fifth-level alchemist. Even if he doesn't use this little beast, he can definitely cure your brother."
"I hope so!" Meng Zhu said with a slight smile, "I am not talented, and I am also a fourth-level alchemist. There is no way I can save my brother. If Commander Qingshi can save him, no matter whether it is with the blood essence of this little beast or not, , I will take care of all the divine wheat, and I will also give you a lot of thanks!”
