Chapter 635: It Actually Falls Apart!
Qingshan County, seaside wharf, densely packed ships of all sizes are docked, and there are still many who can't dock in time. A large amount of food shipped from Weiguo has arrived.
It was no different from the long distance when Niu Youdao transported horses from Qi State, skipping Qi State and Jin State. first come.
There are countless mules, horses and vehicles gathered on the shore, and the air is filled with the unpleasant smell of livestock manure.
Many monks from the Wei Kingdom landed from the boat, and many monks stood on the top of the boat to guard the surroundings. There were also monks floating in the sea to prevent people from sneaking under the water.
There were a large number of troops stationed on the shore, Shang Chaozong personally brought people here, and Xue Xiao also personally led people from Dingzhou.
When the food arrives in its territory, the local state capital will be responsible for escorting it. Xue Xiao didn't want to come, but the imperial court asked him to watch over it, fearing that Nanzhou would do something wrong.
One framed the other party for robbing his woman to start a war, and the other was robbed of the territory of three counties. The two who fought to the death before, now they are talking and laughing. , a heart occasionally sneered.
Xue Xiao was a little scared here, Gai Huan, the head of Tianhua Cave Mansion, and Wan Qingyan, the head of Xianyun School, all went out to escort them.
A row of monks on the boat came ashore, and the ones walking in front were the representatives of the three major sects of Weiguo monks, Elder Tian Que of Lingxu Mansion, Elder Chong Gu of Shouzheng Pavilion, and Elder Kun Ziyue of Dale Mountain. nice.
In order to escort this batch of food, not to mention shaking in the waves all the way, the thrill of this journey is even more so when I witnessed a large number of monks in Weiguo blood-staining the blue sea, so it is no wonder that I am in a good mood.
When the two sides met, seeing that the attitudes of these people were not very good, they could only be polite, and then the two sides handed over the food and grass.
According to the account handed over by the Wei State, 100,000 carts of grain, excluding the 30,000 carts seized by Zhao Guo, the rest all went by sea in order to save manpower.
After experiencing various accidents at sea, only 80% or about 50,000 cars are left.
The account was paid, and the rest was counting. A large group of laborers boarded the ship to unload grain, and then loaded the trucks. The dock was busy.
At this time, four birds flew in the sky, one red hunting eagle and three black jade eagles.
Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi led the three heads of Qingshan County to come.
The four birds landed on the ground, attracting everyone's attention. Shang Chaozong was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Taoist who said he couldn't see him to appear, so he hurried over to say hello.
While a group of monks looked sideways, many people stared vaguely at the man in the floral dress who followed Niu Youdao and then stood silently aside.
Afterwards, Shang Chaozong accompanied Niu Youdao to greet the monks from Weiguo. The two sides were very polite, and the people from the three major factions of Weiguo carefully looked at Niu Youdao, and his reputation was there.
Knowing that Xue Xiao was also there, Niu Youdao turned around to look, and said with a smile: "Master Xue is here too, you are really courageous, you dare to come here and bully me that there is no one in Nanzhou?"
Unexpectedly, the other party would not show face in public, Xue Xiao said with a sullen face: "Your Nanzhou? Your lord, is this the court that killed the envoy of Yan in Jinzhou to commit crimes? Isn't it already related to the lord? How could it appear here? .”
Niu Youdao stood in front of his sword and sneered: "Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, no matter how much you dare to talk, believe it or not, I won't fart even if I kill your court! Do you still want to leave when you come here?"
This remark does not mean to put the imperial court in the eyes at all, it can be called a public desecration of the imperial court.
Lan Ruoting, who told the officials below to unload the ship, saw that something was wrong, so he hurried over.
Shang Chaozong had a strange expression, it was rare to see Niu Youdao so blatantly arrogant.
Guan Fangyi, who was wearing a golden step shaker, raised her eyebrows slightly, and slowly shook the round fan in her hand.
Xue Xiao's expression changed drastically, he didn't dare to say any more, he complained repeatedly in his heart, he didn't want to come, but the court wanted to force him to come.
Gai Huan, head of Tianhua Cave Mansion, and Wan Qingyan, head of Xianyun Sect, immediately stepped forward to protect Xue Xiao, Wan Qingyan said in a deep voice, "Niu Youdao, don't be too arrogant."
Niu Youdao: "Why, you two also want to stay with him?"
Almost at the same time, the man in the floral dress was pacing with his hands behind his back, and slowly approached, the eyes of Gai Huan and Wan Qingyan clearly showed a look of fear.
The Elder of Lingxu Valley, Tian Que, said: "We didn't come here to see your internal strife."
Kun Ziyue, the elder of Dale Mountain, said, "The country of Yan is about to perish. If we have this spirit, it is better to unite with the outside world."
They were quite dissatisfied with this scene. In order to protect the country of Yan, how many monks of the country of Wei died, and when they came to see the state of Yan country, they really felt wronged for those who died, and they would continue to accompany them all the way. .
"The treacherous ministers of the Yan Kingdom are in power. I wish I could kill them all and make everyone laugh." Niu Youdao turned around and let out a haha, and then extended his hand to invite, "I have worked hard on the sea, please come to the station."
A group of people left calmly, but Xue Xiao and the others became highly nervous, secretly concentrating their hands on vigilance.
After a few distinguished guests settled down, Niu Youdao and others stood outside the post station to watch the busy situation on the pier. Fei Changliu tried to ask, "Master Dao, do you really want to do something to Xue Xiao?"
Shang Chaozong and the others looked at Niu Youdao instantly.
Niu Youdao looked too lazy to pay attention, "Who cares about him now, just to frighten and frighten him. He came here to keep an eye on this batch of grain. If he is not allowed to shrink his hands, he will stare with wide eyes. It is easy Premature exposure?"
So it turned out that Fei Changliu and others suddenly realized that Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other in blank dismay.
Guan Fangyi pursed her lips and smiled, and found that this man was so bad that water leaked from his bones.
Shang Chaozong finally saw Niu Youdao himself, but he still couldn't hold back under Lan Ruoting's gaze, and he still spoke to Niu Youdao, "Master Dao, how can there be eggs under the cover of the nest? If Nanzhou sits and watches again , the country of Yan is in danger. Daoist..."
Niu Youdao interrupted, "My lord, the court is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Don't worry, the country of Yan will not collapse so easily."
Shang Chaozong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lan Ruoting...
When all the grain on the ship was unloaded and the accounts were handed over, Niu Youdao immediately called the head of Nanzhou to leave, and let the rest of the work be handled by the people below.
What is urgently needed on the frontline battlefield cannot be delayed, and the food loaded on the truck will start immediately, and the Nanzhou army will escort it within the territory.
However, shortly after the convoy left Qingshan County, something went wrong, and the grain truck it transported had an accident.
Xue Xiao led his horses galloping in front of and behind the food team, checking back and forth.
At first, Xue Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. It's normal for the vehicle to be a little damaged on the way, so he can only let the craftsmen of the team repair it while walking.
Later, it was found that the car damage rate was terribly high, so I had to check it out in person.
This inspection revealed a problem. The vehicles he collected from Dingzhou had no major problems. The problems were basically caused by the vehicles in Nanzhou. Most of the vehicles in Nanzhou were newly built, and the quality was quite problematic.
In front of my eyes, the grain bags fell all over the place, and the vehicles carrying them were also scattered all over the place.
Xue Xiao, who jumped off the horse, picked up a piece of broken wood and erected it, showing a look of gnashing his teeth with hatred, and knocking on the wood with his horsewhip, he hated the elders of the three major sects of Wei who came to check: "It fell apart! What kind of broken wood is this?" I can still understand the bad parts of the grain truck, but it is a bit too exaggerated to walk a little while carrying a load and then fall apart.”
The elder of Shouzheng Pavilion said: "Then quickly call the craftsmen to repair it, and speed up to catch up with the team after repairing."
Xue Xiao almost couldn't help laughing angrily at this sentence, even if he has convinced these people who don't know much about military affairs, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk.
But it's not easy to blame, so I can only shake my head and sigh: "The bad parts are easy to repair, just a simple repair, they are all falling apart, how can I fix it? It's not a little bit bad, but batches and batches. It’s falling apart, can it be repaired? Didn’t the three elders see it? The broken ones are basically the cars prepared by Nanzhou, and Nanzhou deliberately wants to withhold this batch of food!”
The complexions of the three elders gradually darkened. In order to escort this batch of food, so many monks died in the Kingdom of Wei. They managed to get through the sea route and sent it to the territory of the Kingdom of Yan. In the end, they still encountered people from the Kingdom of Yan making trouble. .
The three of them almost vomited blood in anger, Kun Ziyue, the elder of Dale Mountain, said in a deep voice, "Immediately notify the nearest city and recruit vehicles as soon as possible, I want to see who dares to disobey!"
Xue Xiao lamented: "Elder, it's useless, it's strange to listen to us if you want to make trouble."
The three of them didn't believe in evil, so they decided to solve it. As a result, the news spread to the nearby city. The people of the vehicles immediately donated the vehicles and horses, and those who dared to hide them were severely punished and so on.
Not to mention, I really recruited some, just three or two, which can be useful.
This is a typical policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. The people below are not their own people, and they can do everything well.
The three elders of Weiguo were so angry that they quit, but if they quit like this, they would give up halfway and feel sorry for those who died, and they couldn't do business when they went back.
"drive!"
The three elders, furious, galloped away, left the food team, and went to settle accounts with Niu Youdao. Fortunately, they had just left Qingshan County, not far from Maolu Villa.
At the same time, the summons was sent back to Weiguo to report the situation.
Xue Xiao also urgently sent a message to the court of Yan Kingdom, please find a solution quickly, Niu Youdao has already threatened his life openly, he has no temper at all in Nanzhou...
When distinguished guests came to visit, Niu Youdao naturally showed up to entertain them in person, and served him with high-quality tea.
Ding bells clang! Drinking fart tea, Chong Gu became angry as soon as they met, and smashed the teacup to the ground with a wave of his sleeve.
In the water pavilion, facing the three angry elders, Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop those who were staring at him, and asked in surprise, "Why are the three elders so angry?"
Chong Gu pointed at his nose and reprimanded, "Niu Youdao, do you intend to fight against our three factions?"
Niu Youdao looked shocked, "Why did Elder Chong say that?"
"Don't pretend to be confused here, what's going on with those grain trucks..." Chong Gu crackled and told the story of a large number of grain trucks that fell apart.
Niu Youdao looked solemn: "To tell you the truth, the three elders, Nanzhou had a battle with Xue Xiao's Dingzhou before. At that time, a large number of grain trucks were recruited from the people. The loss was too great, and the people hadn't slowed down yet. Come, recruit again, Nanzhou people really can't get it out. But in order to complete the imperial court's account, Nanzhou craftsmen are really in a hurry. It's too hasty. I was worried about those grain trucks before, but I didn't expect Something really happened."
