Chapter 271

Instead, he spoke directly and told everything that happened last night.

"I'm afraid no matter how you think about it, you wouldn't guess that last night, Wang Ben died at the hands of Old General Wang."

"Wang Ben intended to rebel, and when he charged into the city gate, it was Old General Wang who stopped him."

"Old General Wang has been loyal and patriotic his whole life; how could he tolerate his own son doing such an unfilial and rebellious thing?"

The young man said with a look of emotion.

In fact, he was one of the Imperial Guards from last night.

Although he did not rush out to engage with the group of traitors last night.

He saw everything that happened last night.

Including Wang Jian personally killing Wang Ben, and the sorrowful cries emitted by Old General Wang Jian.

The young man was still somewhat dazed when thinking about everything that happened last night.

People always say, "Help the right, not the kin."

But how many people can actually do that?

When things involve one's own blood relatives, how many people would strive to help their kin?

Yesterday evening, upon seeing the figure of Old General Wang Jian appear, this young man, like this group of people, had his faith collapse.

But what happened afterward made this young man admire Old General Wang even more.

"I saw it with my own eyes; Wang Ben died under the sword of Old General Wang."

"Old General Wang's life is truly worthy of being called loyal and patriotic."

The young man said with a hoarse voice.

The group of people around him who had finished listening to everything fell silent.

The people present might have had some news and could chase after some gossip.

But none of them had experienced last night's events, so naturally, they did not know as clearly as the young man.

"Young man, why do you know so clearly?"

An old man nearby asked.

"Perhaps it is because I was a witness last night."

The young man finished the last sip of tea in his cup and then slowly stood up.

………

The distant border.

Ever since Helian Bobo became the Great Chieftain again, he had brought everyone to a place close to Great Qin.

They wanted to obtain as much grain and fodder as possible this winter.

He had a feeling that this winter might be exceptionally difficult to endure.

"Chieftain, I have already scouted it out; there is a village ahead. The grain and fodder are quite good."

A big man under his command rode a fine horse and galloped from afar.

Before his figure could be seen, his heroic voice was heard.

Helian Bobo's originally slightly furrowed brows relaxed somewhat after hearing his subordinate's words.

"Are you sure the grain and fodder are quite good?"

"Chieftain, do you still not trust me? I let my youngest son sneak into that village to scout it out."

· ·····Please give flowers· ··

This big man split his large mouth and said with a grin.

Behind him appeared a petite figure, a rather thin and scrawny little boy.

The little boy's facial features were not like theirs; the Xiongnu actually looked somewhat similar to the Great Qin people.

No wonder this big man chose to let this little boy go and scout the village's situation.

The little boy looked at Helian Bobo somewhat shyly and curled his body behind the big man.

"Lianwa just entered that village and has already found out the village's situation."

"The grain and fodder harvested this year have not yet been handed over and are all piled up in the village's storehouse."

"If the Chieftain wants to make a move, he must do it early, otherwise they will hand over the grain and fodder."

The big man said.

Helian Bobo's eyes lit up.

He naturally knew that some Great Qin villages needed to hand over grain and fodder to the authorities.

He didn't expect that this time, they hadn't even had time to hand over the grain and fodder.

"Notify everyone to get ready."

Helian Bobo turned his head and said to his subordinate.

That subordinate immediately understood Helian Bobo's meaning.

Soon, all the men and horses were fully prepared.

Those going tonight were all the heroes of the various tribes.

Every one of them was a burly man.

Even though the harsh winter was approaching.

Their upper bodies were still exposed to the cold wind.

"Tonight, we must finish the battle quickly; kill everyone who resists."

Helian Bobo stood in front of everyone and said to those below.

The group of Xiongnu soldiers below all held their large sabers high in their hands.

After boosting morale, Helian Bobo set off with the small team below.

They also had to collect the most grain and fodder in the shortest time.

Originally, he didn't want to start a war so quickly.

But that batch of grain and fodder was simply too attractive.

He had to collect a large amount of grain and fodder in the fastest time so that the tribesmen could safely survive this winter.

If those Great Qin people handed over the grain and fodder.

Even if he raided all the surrounding villages, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to grab enough grain and fodder for the tribesmen to survive this winter safely.

After all, the surrounding villages were not wealthy, and those villagers only had a small amount of grain and fodder in their homes.

……

……

……Ding.

Late at night,

The villagers, who had been busy all day, had long since returned to their houses.

"His father, the grain and fodder for this winter seem to still be somewhat insufficient."

An elderly woman was busy in the kitchen while saying to the man at the door.

"What other way is there?"

The dark and thin man squatted under the eaves and sighed heavily.

Although their village had a bumper harvest this year, because of the war at the border.

This batch of grain and fodder all had to be transported to the border army.

"It's fine, I'll go to Mr. Zhang's house in a few days to see if there is any odd job."

The dark and thin man wiped his face and said in a muffled voice.

With three children at home, if the grain and fodder were not enough, I'm afraid this winter would be somewhat difficult to endure.

"Can't we keep some grain and fodder?"

The woman said with some unwillingness.

After all, as long as a portion of this grain and fodder could be kept, it would allow the entire village to safely survive this winter.

"You old woman, what are you thinking?"

"Those men fighting at the border, which one of them can go hungry?"
