Chapter 286 (2/2)

But where did the food and grass come from? There was no food for the frontier fortress in the flood of Jiandu this year. Previously, the food and grass sent by the emperor was not enough. Later, he wrote back to the emperor, but for such a long time, nothing happened.

Just thinking, a voice came from the tent door, ”general, Mr. Xiao is here.”

”Well, let it in.” General Li said at this time.

Then Xiao Mu went to the tent.

I saw General Li's brows locked and his head propped up with his hands.

Xiao Mu then arched his hands and saluted him, ”see General Li.”

”No, just sit down.” General Li then raised his head and said to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded and sat down on the stool.

”Young master Xiao, when will Shuo Hou arrive at the frontier fortress?”

”I don't know. The Marquis sent a letter to let me come here first.” Xiao Mu then returns to General Li.

After hearing this, General Li frowned and his face was full of melancholy.

Xiao Mu then asked, ”when will General Li worry?”

”The frontier fortress is in short supply of food and grass. I wrote to the emperor before, but I haven't seen any food and grass. I hope that the emperor will send Shuo hou to escort the food and grass here.” General Li said with a sigh.

Now he can only put his hope on shuoling. If he brings food and grass, they can stick to it for a while. If they don't, they will starve even if Xiling isn't attacking.

Xiaomu's brow was wrinkled after hearing this, and then he asked, ”how many days can we eat in the barracks?”

”Five days.” General Li said to Xiao Mu with his eyes closed.

Xiao Mu nodded and said, ”General Li, we can't wait to die. If the Emperor didn't let our Marquis send us food and grass, then the soldiers would be hungry. I saw that many people were injured. If Xiling attacked again, we couldn't fight back.”

”But this is the only way. This year's flood in Jiandu is hard to protect. In the past years, the food and grass for the winter in the frontier fortress were provided by Jiandu. In a few days, where can we raise food and grass?” General Li then said to Xiao Mu.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu thought for a moment, ”otherwise, my brothers and I will go to some areas near the frontier fortress to see how much we can collect. Even if our Marquis doesn't come here with food and grass, it's better than waiting to die.”

”Now think about it. It's just like this. Young master Xiao has been all the way to the frontier fortress. He went to have a rest before, and then tomorrow.” General Li sighed and then said to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded his head at this time, but did not refuse. They rushed to the frontier fortress all night long, and their bodies were really a little unbearable.

”General Li, if there is nothing else, I will go down.” Then Xiao Mu said to General Li.

General Li nodded slightly, and Xiao Mu went out to his tent.

When he walked into the tent, all the brothers were lying asleep.

Xiao Mu knows that everyone is too tired.

In the previous capital construction, due to the lack of manpower, everyone went to the dam to help, and from the dam to the frontier fortress, there was no rest on the road, and we have been on the way.

Then Xiao Mu also went to an empty place and lay down. Then he put the sword beside him. Soon, he fell asleep.

The capital at this time.

The dam was finally completed before the rain. Seen from a distance, it was built in a magnificent way.

At this time, master Liang Cheng looked at the completed dam with great excitement. He wanted to know the dam he was in charge of building earlier. Because the governor of the capital of the people's Republic of China dropped the selected materials, the dam burst directly when the autumn flood came.

Later, because of this, he didn't design for many years, until Mo left to find him, he agreed.

I didn't expect that shuohou actually said to do it. He would check all the purchased materials every time.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to get in touch with the princess of Qingcheng at once. His three words and two words solved the problem in his mind.

At this time, the village name who built the capital knew that the dam was completed today, so they all laid down their work and came to celebrate.

Of course, looking at the dam in front of us is quite different from the previous one. The face is full of smiles. The dam looks higher and much thicker than the previous one.

It seems that they won't have to worry about it every year.

With the sound of firecrackers, the villagers stopped talking.

When the firecrackers were over, everyone was full of joy.

At this time, Xu Qing came to these people with a smile on his face, and then he said with a smile, ”let's be quiet first.”

As soon as Xu Qing's voice fell, all the people in front of him stopped talking and looked at him.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Xu Qing said with a smile at this time, ”today is a great day to celebrate. After several months, our dam is finally completed today, which means that you don't have to worry about the flood season any more.”

”Good, good.”

”Well, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. After the dam is built, we can have no worries later.”

As soon as Xu Qing's voice fell, the people clapped their hands together and then said.

At this time, Xu Qing held out his right hand and motioned to everyone not to speak. After watching it, he stopped. Then Xu Qing said, ”thanks to shuohou and Qingcheng princess. When I returned to build the capital, a few days later was the wedding day of shuohou and Qingcheng princess. It's a pity that shuohou and Qingcheng Princess didn't attend the wedding banquet because of the tight time The sheriff may not come back to build the capital, but I still want everyone to remember them. Without them, we would have looked a lot more now. ”
