Chapter 168 Skeleton
Wu Anhou raised his rough eyebrows.
Just now, Cheng Hai only talked about the life experience of his niece's granddaughter, and did not mention this small group of female soldiers.
"Taoyuan female army?" he asked puzzledly.
Pan Yingying nodded, "Uncle, this is a long story. We can talk about it in detail later when we sit down. Let's go back and eat first."
She really felt sorry for this skinny old man.
He is over 130 meters tall, but probably weighs less than kilograms. He is a real skeleton.
Wu Anhou finally reacted and hurriedly called out, "Come on, go on, go on! Go on! Just treat it like you're at home."
As he spoke, he quietly grabbed Fat Tiger's head.
Batian was very dissatisfied. Normally, everyone touched it gently, but this old guy was so strong. Did he want to pull it bald?
It shook its head and moved closer to Pan Yingying's feet.
The people outside are too scary. It has to follow its mother closely.
The group returned to the Wuan Army camp.
The military camp was bustling with activity at this time.
The food delivery team not only brought food, but also a lot of other supplies.
Cold-proof clothes and bedding, as well as snow-white salt and snow-white sugar...the deputy general almost dropped his jaw.
Just now in the carriage, Pan Yingying bought a lot of cotton coats, cotton pants and thick leather boots in the mall, and planned to find a suitable opportunity to deliver them to the military camp in two days.
These soldiers have suffered so much that even a stingy woman like her has rarely been generous.
Yu Chaosheng had wanted to ride in a carriage before, but was discouraged by Wu'an Hou's words "a grown man riding in a carriage is just a woman's". Now he pouted his lips and looked at Pan Yingying with accusatory eyes.
Pan Yingying pretended not to see anything and followed Marquis Wu'an to his tent.
Just as the porridge and sweet potatoes were out of the pot, the soldiers saw their own lord rushing out of the tent with his sword in hand. He looked like a madman, shouting, "Xiao Lian'an, I'm going to kill you, you son of a bitch!"
The soldiers withdrew their gazes and continued to line up to wait for their meals.
They are all used to the Marquis scolding His Majesty every other day. This time he just wants to kill one more person. The most important thing right now is to have a full meal. Who cares whether he kills or not!
The deputy general cursed in his heart. The soldiers could ignore it, but he had to.
He is really being troubled!
He picked up the two largest sweet potatoes from the steamer, put them in a bag under his clothes, and ran quickly in the direction of Wu'an Hou.
"You are dead men! Why don't you stop them?" The deputy general ran forward and shouted at the soldiers guarding the door of the tent.
The two soldiers looked at each other, thinking, "Doesn't the Marquis come here every now and then? What's there to stop him from doing? Could it be that Deputy General Qin is not used to it?"
Deputy General Qin was almost mad. He chased after Marquis Wu'an with a sweet potato in his pocket, "My Lord! It's time to eat, my Lord!"
Marquis Wu'an walked out of the military camp with red eyes, a sad expression, and turned a deaf ear to everything.
It was the first time that Deputy General Qin saw such an expression on his master's face. He had never looked like this when he first came to Kaiyang and saw the suffering people.
He thought that this time something must have happened that made the Marquis very angry.
Just when he was about to continue to stop people, a girl in red suddenly rushed out of the big tent.
"Uncle! Don't be impulsive!"
The girl's voice was not loud, but she immediately stopped Wu Anhou who was like a mad bull.
Deputy General Qin's heart fell back into his stomach, but it suddenly rose up again.
Deputy General Qin: Uncle???
As far as he knew, Marquis Wu'an had only one nephew, and that was the former Crown Prince who was sentenced to death for treason.
So the identity of this girl...?
The answer was about to come out, and Deputy General Qin swallowed hard, not daring to think about it any further. He was afraid that if he thought about it any further, his nine clans would be in danger.
No, where did he get the Nine Clan? He was an orphan who grew up with the Wu An Army, and his whole family was fed by his own food. How could he save the Nine Clan?
"Yingying, I am just an old fool!" Wu'an Hou choked with sobs, suddenly threw down his precious sword, covered his face and cried.
Deputy General Qin: ...
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should go up and persuade him.
Yu Chaosheng came out of the big tent, holding the white tiger in his hand. Deputy General Qin thought that he was going to go up to comfort Marquis Wu'an, but he never expected that the boy would carefully put the black cloak in his arms on Pan Yingying.
"Don't worry about him, just leave him alone. It's cold outside, go in quickly." Yu Chaosheng put his arm around Pan Yingying's thin shoulders and led her into the big tent.
If the old man wants to enjoy the cold wind, let him do it, but he can’t let Pan Yingying get cold.
Hearing his words, Marquis Wu'an glared at him angrily.
It’s a pity that Yu Chaosheng didn’t even give them a glance, and the couple was about to enter the tent.
Marquis Wu'an was both sad and angry. He picked up his sword and strode back to the tent.
Deputy General Qin shook his head and put the sweet potatoes, which were only slightly warm after being blown away by the cold wind, into his pocket.
He then went to order preparation of food for Marquis Wu'an and the distinguished guests.
In the afternoon, Marquis Wu'an ordered Deputy General Qin to repay the grain owed to the people so that they could spend the winter in peace.
Pan Yingying remained silent and bought 20 kilograms of the cheapest rice in the system mall in one go.
Even if we have to make money from war to support the army, at least we have to let the people grow back their flesh first.
On this day, the entire Wuan Army camp was filled with laughter.
Because everyone had their first full meal in nearly a decade.
The Taoyuan Army and Taoyuan female soldiers felt sad, and after talking to them about the situation in the military camp, they felt even more fortunate. They must have burned incense in their previous life to be able to join the Taoyuan Army in this life.
Look at these soldiers guarding the border, each one of them is like a skeleton covered with skin.
Honglian and Lumei each held a sweet potato and ate it while sitting on the edge of the military camp.
Other girls from the Taoyuan female army were also here. They were arranged to live temporarily near the parade ground.
"Sister, it's a good thing the girl came, otherwise these soldiers would have starved to death." Lumei sighed.
She truly believed that the girl was a god sent down from heaven to save the people from dire straits.
Honglian nodded in agreement.
Qi Yan, who was shaking a sweet potato next to him, suddenly asked, "What do you think, are the soldiers of Wu'an Army stronger? Or are our Taoyuan Army stronger?"
red lotus:? ? ?
Green Plum: ???
"Be a human being! Don't you see that those soldiers will fall apart after taking two steps?" Lu Mei was speechless.
Sister Qi doesn't look like someone with mental problems. Why do the questions she asks sound like she has a missing string in her brain?
Their Taoyuan Army was well fed and warmly clothed, so if they lost it would be embarrassing, and if they won it would be unfair.
This is definitely bullying.
Qi Yanniang shrugged indifferently. She only asked this because she heard that Wu'an Jun's army was invincible on the battlefield, so she wanted to compare the two sides to see where she still needed improvement. She didn't really want to bully these soldiers.
There is a high probability that an additional update will be dropped today.
The data is not good recently, so I will update it later.
