C63 (1/2)

Two days later, the spy said that Dunhuang's garrison had all returned to Zhang Ye. Right now, the only people left in Dunhuang were the Residence of Great Defender and a few trembling merchants.

The soldiers and soldiers of Yumen Pass celebrated a day like this, and five vats of grapes were drunk clean.

In contrast to the joyous atmosphere of the Jade Gate, the atmosphere at this time was very subtle.

Since the last time their lieutenant, Wang Jian, had brought back a carriage full of widows from River Canyon, things had gone wrong.

Their supplies were all supplied by River Wasteland, and they were almost out of food. Wang Jian had nine women and one child, and that night, he had given them the participation rate of soldiers who had yet to start a family.

Unfortunately, after a night of silence, no one touched the widows.

They had neither food nor salt, so where would they find the strength to do such a thing? Furthermore, they had to feed an extra person.

Therefore, the soldiers were more or less dissatisfied with what Wang Jian had done.

The playboy of the Wang clan of Taiyuan, who used to pick up cats and dogs every day in Taiyuan County, wasting away his studies, and only delivered them to the Yangguan to become lieutenants in order to train him. Even if they all starved to death, Wang Jian would not die, because Mrs. Zhang of Liangzhou would not let him die.

Zhang Shijian wants to use him to win over Wang Shi of Taiyuan.

Three days after these widows arrived, several ox-carts, food, and salt arrived from the River Cave City. They said that they had come from the Jade Gate Pass province to send them off.

The two trials of the Western Regions had always been on the wrong side of the spectrum. But now, they had actually relied on the Jade Gate Pass to help them out. This was truly shameful.

Wang Jian threw away all the pickled vegetables in a fit of rage. When he was about to throw away the two bags of salt as well, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.

These were their lives, how could they be so wasteful?

The Yang Guan soldiers didn't stop there. Just when they thought that they were running out of food, River Pit sent in three more carts of food, a carton of groceries, and a bucket of grape wine.

”These are all here from Jade Gate Pass. When you guys don't have enough to eat, just say it.”

That was what the Tadanori soldiers had told them.

They were actually living off the Jade Gate.

And their lieutenants had stolen the widows from Jade Gate Pass!

Hundreds of men were extremely depressed over this matter.

In the end, it was an older soldier who joined the army and talked to Wang Jian.

”The Jade Gate Pass is like this for us, we can't not repay your kindness. Lieutenant, do you want to send those widows back?”

At the mention of a widow, Wang Jian's heart was filled with endless anger.

Although he was a popinjay, he wasn't that mischievous. He had taken a fancy to Wang Qiang, but he didn't touch her. The reason was simply because all the officials had clearly written down that these widows were to become principal wives.

As the third son of the Wang clan of Taiyuan, how could he possibly marry a village woman, and a widow as his first wife? In addition, he had the surname Wang, so he couldn't marry with the same surname, which was a family rule.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Jian nodded in agreement.

Thus, when the soldiers of Jade Gate Pass finally returned with a large group of carriages, a team from Yanggang also arrived.

Pull the car widow.

Lu Qing looked at the group of men from Fallen Sun with a puzzled expression. What was the meaning of this?

Wang Jian's expression was ugly, but his steps towards Yu Mingchuan were firm.
