The tall and thin man pouted with disgust, rubbed his hands and warmed himself over the fire and spoke coldly.
"There's no need to vent your anger. After we tell you, you can give us some glutinous rice cakes to eat, and just stay away from us.
"We were ordered to come to Yongshui Town to inquire about the food and grass situation. We were surrounded by a group of mobs on the road. There were nearly two hundred people, and we were the only two brothers left!"
"Isn't that true? We both still escaped death and were covered in wounds." The short, fat man also answered, then picked up the uneaten glutinous rice cake, dipped it in the honey, and ate it.
If they hadn't wanted to cause trouble, they would have snatched this ugly creature's food and driven her out of the cave. Why would they talk so much nonsense to her?
Jiang Yuyu was extremely puzzled after hearing what the tall and thin man said. She couldn't figure out where a group of mobs came out to help her.
But it was really thanks to this mob, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to defeat so many people even if she was poisoned.
After finishing the half piece of glutinous rice cake, the short and fat man reached out to Jiang Yuyu and said, "Where are the glutinous rice cakes? Are there any more? Hurry and bring them.'
"Brothers, don't worry, of course there is." Jiang Yuyu said, picking his nostrils with one hand, and taking the baggage behind him with the other hand, he chuckled, "I'll help you bake it, the one I bake is more fragrant.'
As he spoke, he unpacked the baggage with one hand, took back the hand that was picking his nose, and dug into the baggage.
"Stop." The tall and thin man was disgusted. No matter how delicious the glutinous rice cake baked like this is, would you dare to eat it? I'm afraid it's salty!
However, his "stop" call was still a step too late. A palm-sized snow-white glutinous rice cake was already in Jiang Yuyu's hand.
"That one belongs to you." The tall and thin man twitched the corner of his mouth in disgust and said to the short and fat man.
"Oh!" The short, fat man saw that his official rank was lower than that of the tall and thin man, so he could only agree quietly, and then shouted angrily at Jiang Yuyu, "No one wants you to bake, please give me the glutinous rice cake!"
Jiang Yuxi pursed her lips in grievance: "You~~ you eat my glutinous rice cake and you are mean to me!"
"Shut up, if you dare to murmur again, I will kill you, believe it or not?" The short, fat man suddenly pulled out the knife. If the other party hadn't said he was from a beggar gang and was afraid of getting into trouble, he would have really wanted to kill this ugly monster with one knife.
Jiang Yuyu was frightened by the bright sword. He hugged his knees and moved back, tightly shutting his mouth.
The tall and thin man took Jiang Yuyu's baggage and took out all the four or five glutinous rice cakes inside. Then he found a wooden stick to pull out some of the charcoal grill and threw the glutinous rice cakes on the charcoal fire to bake.
Soon the aroma was mixed with the burnt smell, and several glutinous rice cakes were finally cooked.
The two of them had been freezing and hungry along the way. Now that their bodies were warmed up, their stomachs began to growl.
In addition, the short and fat man just ate half a piece of glutinous rice cake and was fine, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance.
"Bring the honey." The tall and thin man winked at the short and fat man, and the short and fat man hurriedly stretched out the half bowl of yellow honey.
The hot glutinous rice cake was sticky with sweet honey, and the two of them ate it happily.
However, after eating the glutinous rice cake, the two of them stood up unsteadily with their arms around their bellies, took out their knives and pointed them at Jiang Yuyu.
"Who are you? How dare you harm us? You are seeking death~~
Before the word "death" could be heard, the two of them foamed at the mouth, rolled their eyes, and fell to the ground.
Jiang Yuyu suppressed the stupidity on his face, his eyes flashed, he stepped forward and kicked the two of them several times, and spat in disgust.
"Thieves, you have soiled this girl's territory, and I will drag you out to feed the wolves."
The snowy rivers in the south are covered with thick ice, so there are several roads that can be taken from Luozhou to Tongzhou, but these roads are now heavily guarded by roadblocks and are heavily guarded by Zhu Xiangyu's soldiers.
As soon as Shadow appeared at the pass leading the horse, he was stopped by the commander and several soldiers.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Tongzhou?'
Shadow was busy with a smile on his face and spoke with a thick Daqi accent.
"I'm from Daqi. I'm doing business in the capital. Isn't it almost the New Year? I'm getting ready to go back to my hometown."
"Where are you from Daqi?" The boss looked him up and down with a wary expression.
"I'm from Taogou Village, Mo'an County." Shadow said calmly while giving the frontier guard a few banknotes, "I heard that there was a snowstorm in the north of Daqi. I'm worried about my family and I hope you will be accommodating.'
These people are all greedy for money. During this period, many Daqi people who were doing business in Dasheng were in a hurry to return home, and they made a lot of money.
"Haha~~ How about sending the beggar with this little money? If you want to pass the customs more quickly, hand over all the money." The boss took out the knife and said with a threatening look, "Otherwise~~ you will be the spy of the Night King."
Shadow was so anxious that tears flowed out, and he knelt down towards the boss.
"Sir, please be kind to me. My family, old and young, are all waiting for me to come home and save my life. If I give all this money to you, our whole family will starve to death."
Before he finished speaking, a cold sword was placed on Shadow's neck.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I will arrest you as a spy?"
Shadow was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, winced and took out his money bag.
"Sir, please spare your life. I'll hand you over the money. Hand over everything."
After taking away the money bag handed over by Shadow, he searched everything on him and saw that he was indeed penniless, so he let him go.
Shadow also let out a long sigh. He stopped at both checkpoints today, saying that no one was allowed to go to Tongzhou due to the imminent war, but he was very anxious.
Fortunately, these guards only wanted money and let him come.
The tense nerves were relaxing when suddenly the boss roared behind him again.
"stop.'
Shadow felt a chill in his heart, the secret passage was broken, and he was about to mount his horse and run wildly, when a hand reached out and snatched the rope from his hand.
"Bring the horses, too. We are short of horses in the army. Get out of here."
"Yes, yes, it is my duty to donate horses to support General Zhu in the war." After the shadow flattered him a few times, he wished he could grow a pair of wings and leave here immediately.
The guard sucked his red nose and counted the banknotes, never looking at the shadow again.
After counting the banknotes, he patted one of his subordinates on the shoulder and laughed.
"This is a really good job. After this battle, we brothers will share the money and enjoy ourselves. We won't have to work hard on the battlefield again."
A trace of worry flashed across the face of one of his subordinates, "Boss, General Zhu issued a notice this morning that no more people are allowed to cross the border. If he knows
The chief guard gave this subordinate a hard nod on the forehead.
"General Zhu and his lieutenants play with women in bed every day. How can they care about these things? By the way, you want to inform him, right? Hmm?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare, I still want to follow the general guard and make a fortune." The subordinate hurriedly held his forehead and lowered his head.
The boss smiled with satisfaction, handed out two hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into the hands of this subordinate.
"Boy, if you listen to everything above, you will still be just a little guy after all the blood is shed. Here, you take these two hundred taels. When the battle is over, we will hug you every night like the generals above.
The beauty is sleeping."
The subordinate hurriedly held the banknote tightly in his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Guard. I understand, little one."
After saying this, he saw a carriage approaching in the distance, and said to the general manager hurriedly, "Look, boss, business is coming to our door again."
