"The last general, Zhao Kuo, meets His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang!"
"General Zhao, please get up!"
Qin Yun stepped forward and helped him up. He looked at the man up and down. He looked about thirty-seven or eighty years old. He was in the prime of life. He had a beard on his face and looked very heroic.
"General Zhao, these are a group of thieves I caught on the way pretending to be refugees and trying to steal military supplies."
"Leave it to General Zhao now."
Zhao Kuo waved to the deputy general behind him, who stepped forward to confirm his identity one by one, looking very cautious.
Not long after, the adjutant came back and reported: "Back to the general, these people are indeed suspicious. They claim to be refugees from Luochuan, but none of them speak with a Luochuan accent."
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"General, you have forgotten that your humble position is from Luochuan!"
Then the deputy general bowed his hand to Qin Yun again: "His Royal Highness, King Liang, I humbly serve Zhou Xun to thank King Liang for speaking up for me and the people of Luochuan, and for giving me justice!"
Qin Yun said: "General Zhou's words are serious. I just did what I should do. General Zhou doesn't have to worry about it!"
But Zhou Xun insisted on thanking him again. For more than 20 years, the court did not say a word about the incident of Luochuan and the embankment, but it never made a formal statement.
But no matter how time passes, those who survived still remember the tragic scene vividly. For so many years, no one in the court dared to stand up and speak for the people of Luochuan.
But this Liang Wang dared to risk offending the emperor and offending the civil and military officials of the court to speak frankly. How could the people of Luochuan not remember this kindness?
Before leaving home this time, his father Qian warned Wan that when he went to Luochuan, he should do his best to quell the rebellion, mainly by admonishing, and not to hurt his fellow villagers. Secondly, if he saw Qin Yun, he must kowtow three times and bow nine times.
Luochuan people are definitely not ungrateful people!
Seeing Zhou Xun persisting, Qin Yun stopped trying to stop him. After he finished bowing, Qin Yun said: "This king's trip to Luochuan just needs a guide who knows the local area. Fighting is their business, and my most important thing is The important task is to erect a monument to the souls of the innocent people who died back then!"
"These three hundred blacksmiths are the manpower brought by this king. I wonder if General Zhou can help me complete this matter!"
Zhou Xun turned around and prostrated himself in front of Zhao Kuo.
"General, please allow me to follow the prince temporarily!"
"Go ahead. King Liang has done such a great job in sending me off. How can I not let him go?"
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard these days, but I am very curious as to how your Majesty caught these fierce thieves!"
"Well, it's a long story..."
Qin Yun said as he walked, and everyone listened with great interest.
"I didn't expect that these are a bunch of stupid thieves! Prince, don't worry, I will make the people behind you pay the due price even if I fight for this skin."
"Military rations have always been the life guarantee of my frontline soldiers for so many years! Over the years, people in our military have rarely intervened in court disputes, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully!"
"Come here, report today's events to Marshal Ji!"
"promise!"
Then Zhao Kuo said to Yang Yong, Bai Feiyang and Zhao Yuzhi on the side.
"All three of you have made meritorious deeds. This general can prove it for you. It is considered a third-class military merit!"
"Do you want to consider transferring directly to the army to find a job? The starting point for third-class military merit is a centurion."
Yang Yong paused, and it was obvious that he was a little moved. Centurion, he can command hundreds of people to charge into battle, how majestic that must be. If he makes great achievements in the future and is promoted to captain of thousands, captain of ten thousand is not impossible.
But the premise is to earn lifeless flowers with life. Besides, he has only been following Qin Yun for a long time and has earned a third-class merit. It is impossible to leave without it. Even if he pays back, he is willing to continue doing it!
"The general is joking. I am His Highness's personal bodyguard, so I won't join the army!"
Zhao Yuzhi on the side raised his hands and said: "Uncle, my little nephew wants to join Brother Bai in his adventures!"
Bai Feiyang said stinkingly: "Just a centurion, I'm not interested!"
Qin Yun joked: "General Zhao, you are not kind. I am poaching one of you, but you want to poach three of me. You are still the one who knows how to do this business!"
"The prince is joking. A man should be on the battlefield! Unfortunately, the prince cannot lead the troops this time. However, the prince can accumulate second-class meritorious service, which will also serve as a barrier to promotion to the king!"
"To be promoted from a third-class county prince to a second-class king, you need at least three first-class meritorious deeds. If you change it to a second-class meritorious service, it will be thirty. I can't expect fools to send me meritorious deeds every day!"
Zhao Kuo smiled heartily. To be honest, Qin Yun was right. Before the battle started, he had also lost a second-class meritorious service, so he had a good impression of Qin Yun!
"Your Majesty, the food eaten by these people will be directly replenished from the next warehouse!"
"The general won't be embarrassed!"
Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Master, I can still do this."
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed to report.
"General Zhao, something bad has happened! The grain depot is on fire."
"What? What's going on!" Zhao Kuo took a step forward.
"General, not long after the general left, a group of thieves forced their way in and set Liang Cang on fire. We are doing our best to put out the fire!"
"But the wind is helping the fire, I'm afraid..."
"Let's go back and take a look!"
Zhao Kuo was extremely anxious at this moment. After all, he was responsible for guarding the granary military station. If anything happened, he would be jointly and severally liable.
Now that the war is over, food and grass go first.
At that time, if someone is involved in the fire in the granary due to his unauthorized departure from the station, let alone the second-class meritorious service, the skin will really be peeled off in advance, and he may even be prosecuted by military law!
Qin Yun also frowned and followed him. There was no doubt that he and Zhao Kuo were on the same front now.
His task is to deliver food. If there is not enough food, he will be held accountable.
Before dark, everyone finally arrived in front of the granary, only to find that the place was in ruins.
Zhao Kuo was such a big man, but he was slumped on the ground. This was even more aggrieved and uncomfortable than if he had lost the battle when he was big!
Zhao Kuo felt cruel, but when he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, Qin Yun dodged and knocked him away with a palm!
"I thought General Zhao was a hero, but he turned out to be a coward!"
Zhao Kuo looked helpless.
"Without food and grass, I will have no face to live on!"
"If you are not afraid of death, why not find a way to catch the thief first? Even if you can't find the thief for the time being, you should still find a way to replenish food. Solving the problem is the key."
Zhao Kuo paused and said, "Where can I replenish food in this wilderness?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Who said there is no food?"
"Come here, peel off the carbonized layer on the granary above."
Everyone had a meal.
However, Yang Yong took the lead and came forward. All the rice was loaded here was basically burnt, but there was a faint burnt aroma.
"Chew again!"
Yang Yong continued to pull down, but saw some rice grains that had not yet been completely carbonized.
Qin Yundao said: "Collect these things and make dry food. We can soak them in water and eat them ourselves!"
"But that's only less than half of what was originally planned!" Zhao Kuo shook his head.
Bai Feiyang on the side also said: "Is there another way I can do it?"
Everyone is looking for prestige to look at this young man from the world's number one chamber of commerce!
Is it possible that he wants to use his money skills?
But Bai Feiyang pointed at a group of prisoners and said, "Kill these five hundred people, and you will lose five hundred mouths!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone discovered that this fair and clean young master was a good idea.
But the people in Zhushen Villa just want to scold their mother at this moment.
Who, what bastard burned down the granary?
