Chapter 350: Is There No Other Work?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Taking over the southern frontier was like a prairie fire that was burning fiercely.
Gu Chilie actually felt that this was a very good idea.
In any case, he was the one who had conquered the southern frontier. Why couldn’t he occupy the southern frontier and become a king?
Even if Emperor Linghui gritted his teeth in hatred and sent an army to attack the southern frontier again, he was certain that the troops he led could defend the southern frontier.
If they wanted to take down the southern frontier, the first thing he had to do was deal with You Huaijie and Chu Tianbao.
Regardless of whether Chu Tianbao was the true prince, Gu Chilie no longer had the patience to wait for his filial piety.
If he could not raise an ingrate well, he would kill him.
And Bai Wutong, who had harmed his daughter, must not be let off easily.
Gu Chilie made up his mind in an instant.
He said to You Huaijie, “How many people do you want?”
The more people You Huaijie wanted, the more spies he could plant to take them by surprise.
After taking down You Huaijie and the others, he would have women and food. He could even become an emperor like Chu Shixiong. Gu Chilie actually revealed a strange sense of urgency.
You Huaijie thought that Gu Chilie had thought about it carefully and finally compromised, so he said, “5,000!”
After the 5,000 soldiers had been arranged to work, they could continue to call for reinforcements. If too many of them came at once, it would cause chaos in the team.
Gu Chilie expressed his dissatisfaction. “If you want 5 ,ooo people, what about the food for the rest of us?”
You Huaijie pointed out a clear path for Gu Chilie. “The seaside is rich in resources. We’re eating these things now. Marshal Gu, you can follow the illustrations in the booklet to find food.”
Just because there were no such things on the coastline near Baye City did not mean that there were none elsewhere. If Marshal Gu led his men to search carefully, it was impossible for them not to find them.
Marshal Gu gritted his teeth. “You actually want us to find it ourselves?”
You Huaijie said matter-of-factly, “Why aren’t you looking for food? It’s not like you haven’t looked for it before.”
Without food, no matter how elite the soldiers were, they were still useless. You Huaijie just did not want to give the army enough food, so as to guard against him.
How sinister.
If Bai Wutong found out, she would really cry out in grievance. Marshal Gu could already find food with his men, so why should they buy the food themselves? They did not even have to work.
Marshal Gu flipped open the booklet and took a few glances. It was recorded in detail. Not only were there plants and animals in the sea, but there were also wild vegetables that could be eaten in the surroundings, fruits from the mountains, taros, and so on. The drawing was also as lifelike as a 3D printing.
Behind him, Lu Ye stole a few glances and immediately exclaimed, “Marshal, I know where to find this plant. I saw a lot, but I thought it couldn’t be eaten, so
I didn’t get the others to bring it back.”
He was referring to the sea cabbage. He glanced at the picture beside him and shouted again, “We saw a lot of this when we went to fish. We rowed so much that we almost can’t row anymore. The sea is filled with this grass!”
“Marshal! If we get it back, everyone won’t be hungry! ‘
Marshal Gu’s thoughts of tearing the booklet immediately stopped. Even if he did not use it now, it would be quite useful in the future.
He pretended that nothing had happened and put the booklet away. He said to
You Huaijie arrogantly, ‘Wait, I’ll go count the number of people.”
You Huaijie waited patiently. Marshal Gu entered the tent and quickly found Shan Jiefu to discuss with him how to work together and take down You Huaijie and the others.
Regardless of whether Chu Tianbao was real or fake, his martial arts were extremely powerful. If he wanted to restrain him, he could only attack Bai Wutong first and capture her. If Chu Tianbao really loved her, he would definitely surrender.
Even if Chu Tianbao was as heartless as his father , he would definitely not be his match with a mob in collusion with them.
Shan Jiefu was simple-minded, but he was loyal to Gu Chilie. When he heard that Gu Chilie wanted to establish himself as a king, he cheered without thinking.
If Gu Chilie established himself as a king, his identity would change and he would become a great contributor to the founding of the country. Zhao Lanzhi would definitely admire him.
Shan Jiefu rubbed his palms together and said to Gu Chilie, “1 promise to complete the mission!”
In order to catch Bai Wutong and the others off guard, after Shan Jiefu led 5,000 people and followed You Huaijie. Gu Chilie immediately gathered his men and announced loudly to the remaining soldiers that he wanted to occupy the southern border and become a king. He wanted to snatch food for them, capture women, and lead them to live a good life.
The soldiers were so touched that they did not even feel hungry. They wished they could immediately follow Gu Chilie and take down You Huaijie and the others to enter the bridal chamber with their beautiful brides.
When Lu Ye knew about this, he felt uncomfortable.
Most of the people You Huaijie brought were good citizens. Gu Chilie bringing people to snatch other people’s women was no different from bandits. He tried to dissuade him. ‘Marshal, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate.”
Gu Chilie was already blinded by greed, so how could he listen to others advice? As long as he became the emperor, those women’s sacrifices could appease his army.
In any case, it was not as satisfying for them to follow their husbands as to follow his soldiers.
Shan Jiefu brought 5,000 people to the area where Bai Wutong and the others were camped.
When they saw the women from afar, the soldiers, who knew that they would attack that night, shot lasers in their eyes.
Bai Wutong did not let them enter the team. Instead, she settled them down a few hundred meters away from the outermost area of the team.
That location was just right. They could cultivate on the spot.
They arranged for someone to give them a good meal. After a little reorganization, someone would teach them how to reclaim land with the fastest efficiency.
Shan Jiefu was a little anxious when he heard that You Huaijie was going to leave them here. “We’re just going to be here?”
This place was so far from the team. How could they collude and attack them?
You Huaijie nodded. “You’re in charge of reclaiming the fields. Just set up camp here. Someone will send you food later and teach you how to reclaim the land.”
Shan Jiefu had brought his men here to make a contribution, not really to do manual labor. He demanded strongly, “Why can they do other work while we can only dig the ground!”
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, You Huaijie changed his words and said, “Alright, if you don’t want to bring people to dig the soil, go to the mountain and cut the stone strips.”
Cutting stone strips!!!
Shan Jiefu glanced at the mountains beside him and gritted his teeth. “Is there no other job? Do we have to dig the ground?”
He wanted to enter the tent, but he did not know what the team was short of.
Most importantly, he was afraid that he would say it too deliberately and arouse You Huaijie’s suspicion.
You Huaijie raised his eyebrows. “There’s more.”
Shan Jiefu’s eyes widened. “What? What?”
As long as they could sneak into the team, anything was fine.
You Huaijie said, ‘Then go down the well and mine. I originally wanted you to adapt for the first two days. Since you’re so proactive, you can dig in advance.”
Shan Jiefu was dumbfounded. “Where are we digging?”
You Huaijie pointed at the mountain behind. “You’ll reach the place after crossing two mountains. ”
This was even more ridiculous than going up the mountain to cut stone strips..
