Chapter 703 (2/2)

Another official soon came back and said to Prince Jing, ”prince, it seems that there are only timber sellers here. It's easy to say the coffin of the Grand Prince, but our supplies are gone.”

Taoist priest four eyes stepped forward and said, ”it's easy to do this. You have so many soldiers and horses. Here are mountains and forests. It's not over to let them go hunting at that time!”

”Hunting

Not only was Prince Jing stupid, but even those officials were somewhat hoodwinked.

To say, most of these people are people from the Ministry of rites. What they are best at is all kinds of etiquette activities. Let them go hunting. It's better to just wait for pie to fall from the sky.

The soldiers brought by Prince Jing have this ability, as well as the guards in his house. But there's no reason to do that, because it's against the rules.

Fortunately, the food is still enough for two days, and everyone is not in a hurry.

First I found a farmhouse to live in, but they only took in those officials. As for soldiers and honor guards, they didn't care at all. You can't give money. It's not that big.

Tian Yuqiao smiled and asked the woman, ”aunt, why can't you buy anything else here?”

The woman said, ”Hey, bandits often appear here. They rob everything, but they don't rob the wood. Originally, like other towns, we sold everything in the street. Bandits have been rampant in the past two years, so we grow our own food.”

”No wonder you can't buy food everywhere. I see.”

The official who ordered the coffin over there soon ran back with a smile, which was the only good thing. The coffin can be made in about three days. As long as they are given enough gold, they can also find eight layers of gold powder to brush the coffin.

In this way, it was almost the same as the previous coffin. Therefore, Prince Jing was very satisfied and drank two more glasses of wine in the evening.

They live here because they are officials.

The biggest local official is the chief officer. Because he has never seen an official in the Imperial City, the biggest official in the simple old man's heart is the county magistrate.

Because Prince Jing didn't disturb the government, the county magistrate didn't dare to meet him even though he knew that the prince had arrived in his jurisdiction.

Now King Jing also has no way, so he sent someone to the county to buy food.

Three days later, with sufficient food and grass, the brigade continued to go north.

However, as soon as I got out of Fengyang Town, I heard people around shouting horses. Then there were a large number of horse bandits in the dense forest on both sides of the road ahead.

They all wear masks on their faces and whatever they wear. There can be two or three hundred horsemen, as well as ordinary bandits with machetes or spears in their hands.

”I opened the road and planted the tree. If you leave food, we will let you go.” the head of the horse bandit shouted loudly.

Although the number of people on the other side is not as large as that on their own side, the number of people who really have combat effectiveness on their own side is at most 500. In terms of the number of people, they are actually not as good as each other. We can't let the honor guards of the etiquette Department influence them with the sound of etiquette and music?
