After Karukala entered the palace, he bowed to his father and asked, "My father summoned Karu here so early. Did something happen?"
The king nodded, picked up a military newspaper from the table, walked over and handed it to Karugala.
When Kalugala received the military report, the king said: "Look, this is the military report sent before dawn. It says that the Pitz people launched an offensive yesterday. As a result, the progress of filling the mountain was greatly accelerated, and for a while we were unable to deal with it..."
Karugala hurriedly opened the military newspaper and read it quickly.
The king continued: "Fortunately, Taoist Priest Changsheng came up with a plan. He boiled the golden juice and poured it from the pass. This blocked the situation of the Pitz people. However, after this time, the fire oil in Qingyuan Pass was exhausted. The war will become even more tense..."
When the king finished speaking these words, Karukala had almost finished reading the contents of the military newspaper.
"Father, what is the golden juice written on it?" Kalugala asked curiously.
The king explained: "Oh, I didn't know about golden juice until now. It's just boiled dung water!"
"Feces water? Or boiled?" Karugala was shocked and started to feel nauseated at the same time.
The king understood Karukala's mood and said: "This thing is indeed disgusting, but don't underestimate it. I heard that if a person is burned by gold juice, the wound will rot and suppurate if it does not heal for a long time. A long shot will greatly reduce the enemy's combat power..."
After talking about the golden juice, the king suddenly became silent. From the looks of it, he was probably worried about the war at Qingyuan Pass.
Kalugala closed the military report and consoled the king: "Father, don't worry too much. The Qingyuan Pass has been a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and the Moon God Army led by General Fan is also brave and good at fighting. , experienced and mighty warriors, and now there is a magical Taoist Priest of Immortality who provides us with the holy water of martial arts... Therefore, for the people of Pitz to break through the pass, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky! "
The king nodded slowly and said: "What you said is correct, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. No one knows what will happen next. Moreover, the Piz Kingdom sent Heng Saar this time. This person is the commander. He is extremely capable and resourceful, and is a very strong opponent!"
Kaluga said: "Father, we also have General Fan here. With General Fan's ability, even Hengsar can't make any big waves."
"Well, that's best." The king frowned slightly, obviously still a little worried.
After a pause, the king suddenly asked: "By the way, Karu, did Ahu go see you last night?"
Karukala was startled and said: "Yes, father, Ahu came to see me, and we went to the city defense army warehouse together."
"How's it going? Have you found the kerosene?" the king asked hurriedly.
Karukala did not answer immediately, but first dismissed the maids in the palace and ordered the palace door to be closed.
Seeing that something was wrong, the king lowered his voice and asked: "What's wrong, Karu, is there something wrong?"
Karukala stood in front of the king, then bowed deeply with his hands raised, and blamed himself: "Kalukala made a bold decision last night, please forgive me, father!"
"What's wrong, you just... What's wrong? Please explain it clearly..." The king was confused by Karuga.
Karukala then said: "Father, Karukala did not let Ahu find the batch of kerosene in the city defense army warehouse!"
"What?" The king was greatly surprised. He stared at Karu and asked, "You...didn't you give the kerosene to Ahu? Then...those are things that are urgently needed in Qingyuan Pass!
"
Kalugala looked serious and said extremely seriously: "Father, please listen to me. It is true that Qingyuan Pass needs kerosene, but our Haoyue City also needs kerosene. If I say something unpleasant, what if?
Tianqingyuan Pass True
If the defense of Haoyue City is broken, then Haoyue City will be our last hold. Originally, the combat effectiveness of the city defense army is not as good as that of the Luna Army. If there is no more kerosene to help defend the city, then there will be no battle with the Pitz people.
The power!"
As the king listened to Karuga's words, his eyebrows rose.
After Karukala finished speaking, the king said: "But Karukala and Qingyuan Pass have already started fighting with the Piz people, so the kerosene should be given to them first..."
"Father!" Karugala suddenly shouted, interrupting the king's words.
Karugala said with a solemn expression: "Father, you should know very well that our Muyue Kingdom does not produce kerosene, so this batch of kerosene is very precious. Otherwise, I would have been cleaning up the city defense army five years ago.
When we go to the warehouse, we won’t transport this batch of kerosene away and store it separately.”
The king was immediately shocked: "You mean, you thought of keeping this batch of kerosene for city defense five years ago?"
"Yes, Father." Kalugala said: "Storing the kerosene separately is for safety reasons on the one hand, and to prepare for a rainy day on the other."
The king pondered for a while and asked anxiously: "What about Qingyuan Pass? They really need kerosene urgently!"
Kalugala said: "Father, Kallu has already thought about the kerosene needed in Qingyuan Pass. He can immediately send people to Jiezhou City to contact the merchants in Shengguo. After purchasing a large amount of kerosene, he will transport it day and night. It should be
It won’t delay anything.”
"Since we can buy them in Jiezhou City, why not send the ones in the warehouse to Qingyuan Pass first?" The king was puzzled.
Kalugala emphasized: "Father, we are still not sure how much kerosene we can buy, so we have to make two plans. If Jiezhou City cannot buy kerosene for a while, or if we can buy it,
The quantity of kerosene is too small, so the batch of kerosene in the warehouse still cannot be touched."
The king thought about it seriously and felt that Kalugala's plan was not wrong. After all, there were countless people in Haoyue City, and material reserves were needed to defend the city.
"In this case, then quickly send people to Jiezhou City to buy kerosene as soon as possible." The king said.
Karugala immediately showed a troubled look and said distressedly: "But father, buying kerosene requires silver. At present, most of the money in our treasury is spent on the construction of the Haoyue statue. I'm afraid the silver to buy kerosene is just...
...It’s difficult...”
The king thought for a moment and immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay. You can ask General Fan for the money to buy kerosene. A few days ago, Ahu and Jiana Lisser wrote back to Mo Feng City, saying that a sum of silver has been raised.
, will be sent to Qingyuan Pass and handed over to General Fan soon."
"oh?"
Karugala was quite surprised. He did not expect that Ahu and his wife would do such a thing. No wonder he has not been seen asking for military expenses for the Moon God Army these days.
After the sense of surprise disappeared, Karuga began to secretly feel happy, because what his father said was exactly what he wanted, so that he could blatantly and legitimately make a fortune.
Kaluga said: "Father, regarding yesterday's fire oil matter, Ahu's place..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell him about this..." The king shook his head slightly and said: "You also know Ahjun's temper. If he knows about this, we will definitely make trouble.
It’s not over, my headache has just gotten better today, and I don’t want to suffer like that again.”
Karukala quickly became concerned: "Father, why do you have a headache again? Have you asked the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Dr. Hu came to see me. He took some medicine and got an injection. He's much better now. It's no longer a problem." The king waved his hand feebly.
Karukala then breathed a sigh of relief: "Father, Karukala will not disturb your rest. I will take care of the matter of sending people to Jiezhou."
"Well, go ahead, thank you for your hard work..."
After the king nodded, Karuga respectfully left the side hall.
