Chapter 4 (1/2)
In the barracks in the city.
The firemen were cooking, and dozens of marching cauldrons were set up. Bags of rice were cut open and poured out. After being washed with water, they were poured into the pot. The water inside had already been boiling.
A group of soldiers carefully collected the empty bags of rice, and then threw them into the fire under the gaze of several officers in the team, and all of them were burned clean. None of them should be left out.
There are strange words and patterns on those bags, not to mention the illiterate soldiers. Sun Xiangqing, a famous counselor and Bo Su mu, the marcher, can't understand them. Of course, the governor has issued a strict order. All the bags containing grain must be burned in time. No one is allowed to talk about it. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed.
A rumor spread quietly in the city: the envoy of Jiedu was the man of destiny, so he got the help of a mysterious fairy and sent countless grains with strange skills. He was no longer afraid of the Imperial Army's siege.
Discerning people may not believe this kind of deliberate spread of the saying, but most of the ordinary people in this era have no culture, and the difficulty of deception is very low. In addition, steaming steamed bread and rice rice were continuously sent to the city wall for the soldiers to eat. The direct effect of this is that the original floating uneasy people have stabilized a lot.
In addition, Zhao Yuanjin also ordered to set up several congee sheds in the city to help the ordinary people who had no rice to cook in the street, so as to avoid a large number of starving refugees in the city and shake the morale and popularity of the army.
“…… Big brother, there is something wrong with this situation. ”
In the crowd on the street, two ordinary looking men in cloth clothes stare at the porridge shed not far away. Many people are holding bowls and basins and waiting for a long line to receive porridge. Besides, there are tolerance yamen servants with knives to maintain order.
”Isn't it that the army has run out of grain and grass, which can only last for three or five days? How can there be surplus food for these civilians? I don't believe that Zhao Yuanjin really loves the people like a son to this extent. ” A tall and thin man is cold and cold.
”Is the news wrong? Zhao Yuanjin still has plenty of grain in his hands? ” Another man of short stature guessed.
”It's impossible. There is a shortage of food and grass in the city. This is the news confirmed by many parties. There can be no fake.” The tall and thin man flatly denied.
Zhao Yuanjin, who was defeated all the way to this point, had already found out what other means Zhao Yuanjin had. What's more, with the situation becoming more and more critical, many of the governor's subordinates had different aspirations. They secretly communicated with the imperial court's rebellion army and provided a lot of important information. Naturally, the stock of grain and grass could not be concealed.
”Well Another possibility is that Zhao Yuanjing was lucky enough to find a hidden granary in the city. ” A man of short stature.
”This is the only reasonable conjecture. I don't know how big the granary is.” The tall and thin man nodded.
The two people's faces are not good-looking, the traitor Zhao Yuanjin's eyes have been exhausted, the broken city is in the twinkling of an eye. But I didn't want to take a breath suddenly. Doesn't this mean that the government's plan to suppress the rebellion will be changed again?
The situation in the surrounding states is not optimistic. If the army of Zhenyuan general Mengluo has been dragged here all the time, the other bandits will take advantage of this opportunity and plunder and destroy everywhere, which is very harmful to the court.
”Well, it seems that the county will last a few more days. Let's first send the news back to the camp outside the city, and then we'll go and find out about the granary.” The tall and thin man said again.
”Well, that's all.”
……
At the moment, Qin Feng is sleeping with his head covered.
After meeting several of Zhao Yuanjin's confidants yesterday, he was politely invited to a warehouse, and then began to carry grain continuously.
Because of the limited dimensional space in the mysterious warship, he did not carry much grain at one time, and it took dozens of times to complete the whole process.
At this time, he realized that frequent use of the ability to travel through the burden of the body is not small. By the time the last batch of grain had been delivered, he was already dizzy and exhausted. After giving a few words to Zhao Yuanjin, he returned to his own world and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again and shuttled back, he found that he was already in a quiet and elegant room. The curtain was low, the eyes were full of beautiful, and the faint aroma of incense filled the room.
Qin Feng didn't go out in a hurry. He closed his eyes again. He sank into the mysterious warship. He found that the dimensional space inside the ship was expanded a lot, and its volume increased by about 20%. A piece of information comes to mind quietly:
” After the space positioning is completed, the space-time rule analysis is completed, and the new star ship owner has preliminarily adapted to this world, and the highest authority is activated... ”
Immediately, he felt his consciousness enter the interior of the warship.
It is an open hall, soft blue light filled every inch of space. In the center of the hall, stands a slender blue prism crystal column. The surface of the translucent column is covered with mysterious and magnificent pattern symbols. The light purple glow is dense and dense, showing a mysterious and dignified, boundless and deep breath, like a sleeping God.Sensing the crystal column seems to have if not attracted, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, let his consciousness carefully lean up.
The next moment, he found himself inside the crystal column, surrounded by some kind of mysterious energy like water waves, as if immersed in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.
Qin Feng had an illusion that his consciousness was enhanced under the nourishment of this mysterious energy, and he did not feel the danger, so it should not be a bad thing.
After that, numerous and complicated information poured in. Unfortunately, most of them could not understand the structure of the starship, but only passively received the memory.
“…… It is suggested that frequent use of the space-time shuttle capability can influence or dominate the historical process of the target world, which is conducive to accelerating the recovery of the energy reserve of the star ship and activating more functions... ”
The last information tip, let Qin Feng a little surprised. He knew that the mysterious star ship was a strange treasure of unknown origin, and he had not been able to understand the function of the treasure until now. But does it seem that the other person has a certain sense of autonomy? And can you communicate with yourself from time to time?
”Influence or dominate the historical process of the target world? How about helping the aborigines to fight for the world and establish a new dynasty? For example, Zhao Yuanjin? ”
Just thinking about this, Qin Feng could not help being a bit troubled. There were tens of thousands of Imperial troops outside the city, all of which belonged to the real elite of the hundred battles, and the general leading the troops was not mediocre. Although he came from time and space, he had no strength to bind a chicken. Under such circumstances, what can be done to help him retreat from the enemy?
It was the limit that Qin Feng could do for Zhao Yuanjing. But if you want to solve the danger of besieged city, food is not enough.
