Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 43 Military rations

"Um?"

While Mo Jun and Xiong Da were discussing some details of the caravan's expansion, Xiong Er, who was gnawing on a leg of lamb, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the roof, and then scratched his hair with confusion in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiong Da asked.

"I feel like there was someone on the roof just now." Xiong Er said hesitantly.

"What!"

Xiong Da's expression suddenly changed.

Xiong Ziran also knows something about some of his brother's abilities.

Although his younger brother seems a little more straightforward, according to the boss, this is called "innocent heart". Because his mind is too pure, he often has a keener perception of the malice and danger in the world.

At first, Xiong Da didn't believe that his stupid brother had such ability, but this time when he was doing cross-border business, he relied on his brother's ability to avoid several crises along the way.

Xiong Da also had to choose to believe that his stupid brother might actually be a 'natural stranger'.

"Boss..."

Xiong Da quickly looked at Mo Jun.

But before he could finish his words, Mo Jun interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Don't worry, those people are not here for us."

Of course, Mo Jun had already discovered what Xiong Er could sense.

Although he does not have Xiong Er's 'innocent heart', his 'spiritual power' that has reached its current limit is not just for show. For some subtle disturbances, Mo Jun's perception is now many times more acute than ordinary people.

As for the movements on the roof, Mr. Mo also knew very well who sent them and who they were heading for.

as expected.

After a while, Xiong Er looked away in a naive manner and said, "Let's go!"

Then he continued to hold the sheep skeleton and began to chew on it.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Xiong Da was relieved.

Mo Jun took a sip of wine, looked out the window, and continued: "There may be some noise outside tonight, don't worry about it. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, you two will stay at the inn tonight, and then set off early tomorrow morning Head to Nanyang."

Xiong Da nodded and said, "I understand."

······

late at night.

Before Mo Jun fell asleep, he heard a sudden commotion outside.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"The granary is on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Previously, the fire of Zilanxuan came from the north of the inn, but today, a raging fire came from the east of the inn again.

After hearing the sound of a fire in the granary, Mo Jun also climbed up from the bed. After looking out the window at the direction of the fire, he murmured: "It's so lively! In this case, I should move next."

He took out the night clothes he had used last time from his personal storage and put them on. He used the "Thousand Miles of Divine Movement" and disappeared from the room in a flash.

In the room next door, Xiong Er, who was sleeping soundly and snoring like thunder, suddenly stopped snoring, opened his eyes drowsily, and looked strangely at the room where Mr. Mo was next door.

"Brother, the boss..."

"You go to sleep first! The boss has already given instructions before. No matter what happens outside tonight, it has nothing to do with us."

Xiong Da, who was also awakened by the movement outside, stood by the window, looking at the fire in the distance. After hearing his brother's voice, he spoke without looking back.

"oh!"

Hearing this, Xiong Er responded, and soon the whole room was filled with thunderous snoring.

the other side.

Under the cover of night, Mo Jun ran all the way in his night clothes, and soon he arrived at the Korean treasury where military rations were placed.

"Tsk, the defense is really lax!"

As a country's warehouse for storing military rations, its importance is self-evident.

However, now the total number of guards outside this place does not even exceed thirty.

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you can tell that there is something fishy here.

From the beginning, Ji Wuye's plan was here, ever since the Nanyang famine occurred.

Whether it was sending people to buy all the grain on the market, blocking Han Fei from purchasing grain from Wei, or just sending people to burn the grain Zhang Liang had worked so hard to raise.

There is only one purpose.

That was to completely cut off Han Fei's retreat.

Then they forced him to come and hijack military rations.

After all, failure to provide disaster relief is at most a crime of dereliction of duty.

But hijacking military supplies is tantamount to treason, a serious crime worthy of beheading.

With Han Fei's resourcefulness, he could naturally see through the trap set up by Ji Wuye and Jade Tiger, but he had no choice now.

······

Under night.

Didn't have to wait long.

Mo Jun saw a figure wearing black attire and a hood appearing in front of the treasury door.

Now that Ji Wuye's plan is understood, some unnecessary cover-ups are naturally meaningless, so this trip to Wei Zhuang has no intention of covering up his identity at all.

Not only was his face not covered, he didn't even bother to replace the sword that was the symbol of a swordsman - the shark's teeth.

"who?"

The sudden figure immediately alerted the treasury guards.

But their vigilance was obviously meaningless, because their trip to Wei Zhuang was not to steal food, but to rob openly.

If it were a real force guarding the treasury, let alone the current Wei Zhuang, even if he had to wait another ten or twenty years and his strength had reached its peak, it would be impossible for Wei Zhuang to break into the treasury.

But now there are only less than thirty "abandoned children" in front of them, and it is obviously impossible to hinder Wei Zhuang.

It takes less than half a stick of incense.

All the guards lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Wei Zhuang also walked into the treasury openly, and then began to have his men transport military rations.

Half an hour later.

The military rations in the treasury were looted.

Mo Jun watched Wei Zhuang lead the convoy away from a distance, but did not take any action.

Until early morning.

It was still dark, a bit hazy.

General Ji Wuye came to the grain depot for inspection. When he saw the unconscious guard at the door and the rations that had been looted in the grain depot.

Not only was he not angry, but a cruel and cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ji Wuye then closed the door, groped along a bookshelf on the wall of the granary, pressed a certain mechanism, and then saw a passage to a secret room slowly appearing in front of him.

If anyone were here at this time, they would be extremely shocked.

Because in this secret room, a large amount of military rations was piled up, and the amount was even several times more than the military rations placed outside before.

Looking at the massive amount of military rations piled up in the secret room, the smile on Ji Wuye's face deepened and he murmured in a low voice.

"Han Fei, I wonder how you can escape this time?"

After closing the secret room, Ji Wuye opened the door again and walked out.

And when the opponent's figure had completely gone away, Mo Jun, who had been waiting for half a night, finally started to take action.
