stand back, let me come

Chapter 1452: Starving to death (Part 1452) [Seeking monthly votes]

The military camp was busy and Yu Hai could not stay in the villa for a long time.

It was already noon when the boy woke up.

He tried to stand up by himself, but he overestimated his current condition. His wrist softened and he fell down. The noise startled the people outside the house, and a burly man came in soon. The follower had a simple and honest face, a righteous face, and a taciturn personality. Yu Hai arranged him here to take care of the young man: "If you have anything to do, just tell me. Yu Xiang told you that you have just recovered from a serious illness and should not move too much."

The young man said, "Well, thank you."

After a simple wash, he regained some energy.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, not knowing what he was thinking. His attendants also stood behind him motionless, as if waiting for the young man to tell them what to do next. After a long while, the young man turned his head in embarrassment and asked, "When will you have dinner?"

Yes, people need to eat.

But every time he woke up, his memory did not contain any scenes of eating.

This time, the hunger in his stomach made him want to eat.

His question seemed to stump the attendant, who actually showed a confused and horrified look on his face. The young man blinked and was about to test it, but the attendant said, "Prime Minister Yu never cooks in the other courtyard, the east kitchen is abandoned, and the servants have not gone out to buy rice, flour, vegetables and vegetables. My dear, please bear with it for now, and I will let them clean up right away."

The boy suggested: "Why not have someone go to the restaurant and buy some?"

His attendant told him some bad news.

"Prime Minister Yu said that since my husband has just recovered from a serious illness, he should eat fine and clean food. The food in the restaurants outside is not good for my husband's sick body."

The boy nodded gently, not making things difficult for anyone.

The attendant pushed him to a shady place, brought him some books to kill time, and left for a quarter of an hour to arrange for someone to clean the east kitchen and buy rice, flour, and vegetables. When he came back, he saw a scene that almost scared him to death - there was no one in the wheelchair. He glanced around and found that the boy had moved slowly to the window with the help of the bookcase and reached out to touch the sunlight.

The young man smiled and said, "The weather is just right today."

The attendant hurriedly carried the boy back.

"Yu Xiang said that your illness has not been completely cured yet and you are afraid of light."

The attendant hurriedly fetched the medicine box and applied medicine to the boy. Just as Yu Hai said, the boy's fingers that had been exposed to the sun had large patches of red spots, and some scarlet blisters had appeared in the serious areas. The red spots formed a sharp contrast with the pale and blue skin.

The young man lowered his eyes: "It didn't seem so serious before."

He remembered one time when he woke up. Although his consciousness was hazy at that time, he clearly remembered the burning heat of the sun shining on his body.

The skin was just a little sunburned, without any red spots or blisters.

The attendant said, "Prime Minister Yu said this is a sign of improvement."

The boy remained noncommittal.

More than half an hour later, the east kitchen finally brought the food.

Several plates of stir-fried pork and duck blood.

The attendant looked at the young man's expression and explained in a low voice: "Because we went too late, there is no fresh meat or vegetables in the market. Why don't you try it first? If you don't like it..."

The boy shook his head: "No, that's just right."

He looked quite appetizing.

It tastes much more fragrant than I imagined.

The east chef brought over a few more stacks of pastries. He had memories of eating desserts before, but this time he had no appetite at all.

The boy could only blame it on the fact that his serious illness had changed his taste.

When the moon was at its zenith, the followers reported back to Yu Hai.

Yu Hai asked the young man in detail what he had eaten for the two meals, how his appetite was, and what he had done during his sober time. The attendant naturally did not dare to hide anything: "Prime Minister Yu, this young man does not look like a stranger..."

For some reason, the followers were somewhat afraid of the young man.

This fear seems to be innate, similar to when a person sees a snake.

Yu Hai said: "No need to ask more questions."

The followers could only bow their heads and remain silent.

Yu Hai: "If there is nothing else, you can go back first. If there is any situation with him, remember to inform me as soon as possible..."

The attendant remembered something: "My dear husband said he wanted to get a cat."

Yu Hai was silent for a few breaths after hearing this.

Said: "Find an excuse to trick him into going over."

Others might think that the boy made this request because he felt lonely and was looking for companionship, but Yu Hai knew that the boy was suspicious.

Yu Hai was so busy trying to disgust Qi Shan that he forgot that the boy was not a pushover and that some of his personalities conflicted with him. After all, a cat owner who was willing to eat empty salaries and make false accounts in order to raise hundreds of cats could not be born allergic to cat hair!

at the same time.

The boy looked at the wild cat attracted by the food under the window and the red rash quietly appearing on the back of his hand, with a complex emotion in his eyes - his body was afraid of light, but he had a natural liking for moonlight, and he would not get sick even if he bathed in moonlight. The red spots and blisters caused by the burns during the day had long disappeared, but as soon as he approached the cat, not only did a rash appear on the back of his hand, but he also felt itchy.

He said, "It's impossible to keep so many cats."

There is no scene of clothes being stuck with cat hair in Memento.

Before his followers returned, he threw away the remaining food and destroyed the body. He struggled to get back to the bed, lay down and let his thoughts flow.

Gui Long lied to him, but he didn't know whether it was just one lie or many lies, and how many of the lies he said were true or false. What was Gui Long's motive for lying?

The boy felt confused.

In a daze, I didn't know when I fell into a chaotic and familiar dream.

The surroundings were a bit noisy, and from time to time he could hear patrol footsteps not far away. In a daze, he heard someone exclaim, "How strange! I almost lay on the carpet to look for it last night, but I couldn't find the lower half. How come it appeared again?"

Someone nearby asked, "What do you mean you didn't find the lower half?"

"It's this word. I lost half of it at midnight yesterday."

The latter said: "Don't they have nothing to do every day, so they fight and deconstruct characters? Maybe someone deconstructed half of it and hid it." "That's also possible..."

The sound became increasingly blurred and gradually became indistinct.

Shen Tang scratched his hair and complained: "I couldn't sleep yesterday. When I closed my eyes, I wondered where the words went..."

Qi Shan said with a smile: "Master, are you losing sleep because of this?"

Shen Tang said listlessly: "Is it impossible?"

She was almost driven crazy by this scroll.

Day after day, I couldn’t sleep well.

But there are still people who can't understand the cues and run into the gun barrel.

"Who is so blind?"

Shen Tang chuckled: "Why don't you look in the mirror and see?"

Su Shiyilu realized that he was being scolded and almost jumped up on the spot, and then sat down on the ground and acted like he was going to throw a tantrum.

"I and the men of Wuzhou have fought bloody battles with powerful enemies several times. Even if we have not made any contributions, we have worked hard. Your Majesty does not reward us, but instead slanders us. Doesn't this discourage the men from making achievements?" Su Shiyilu trembled as he relied on his military merits.

Shen Tang winked at Chu Jie who was standing beside him.

Did Su Shiyilu get his brain damaged during this trip?

Did the sinister old Deng learn to throw tantrums like Wei Shou and Qian Yong? Or was he acting like a spoiled brat to her?

This thought made Shen Tang so sick that he got goosebumps.

Chu Jie: "..."

What should I say...

This is the case of striking first and then turning the tables!

Taking advantage of their master's recent bad luck, they made full use of this mechanism and repeatedly killed the fat meat that should have belonged to the army. Su Shiyilu really had a good time on this trip, and the Wuzhou army earned a lot of military merit without much effort.

And this is inseparable from Shen Tang’s bad luck.

The more prosperous the Kangshi, the more the Wuzhou army ate along the way, which meant that the master was more miserable and unlucky. Su Shiyilu felt guilty, and the more guilty he felt, the more he wanted to turn the tables and occupy the moral high ground. The master didn't want to dishearten his soldiers, so he couldn't say anything to Su Shiyilu.

So Shen Tang comforted Su Shiyilu with a fake smile.

On the basis of rewarding according to merit, he was given an additional three points of generosity.

The Wuzhou generals under his command straightened their backs even more.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

How many enemy troops were intercepted and killed after they split up? Although there were some casualties, they were all within expectations. On the other hand, the main force was still surrounding the stone fortress and had not taken it down. It took too long, so long that Su Shiyilu couldn't help but suspect that Shen Tang was too weak.

Shen Tang: "..."

Is Su Shiyilu too arrogant?

If the main force had not surrounded the stone fort and kept the appetite of the allied forces in the central part whetted, how could Chu Jie have gained so many military merits along the way?

She even wanted to suspect that Su Shiyilu Laodeng had been possessed by another spirit.

Chu Jie: "No."

It was simply because he had been suppressed for so long that he could finally feel proud. If he didn't do it now, when would he? Su Shiyilu and Chu Jie had completely reconciled their past grievances, which was equivalent to removing the tight hoop from Monkey King's head. The situation of the Wuzhou Army in Kangguo could be greatly improved.

In the past, if there was any disturbance in the Wuzhou Army, such as making a mistake and being reported by the Censorate, Chu Jie would step on it, and if he couldn't kill them, he would at least make them feel disgusted. Su Shiyilu was furious, but he couldn't confront Chu Jie's people head-on. In the future, if there is a similar situation, Chu Jie will not hold on to it anymore, and there is room for negotiation.

If you have any opportunities to make meritorious contributions, please share them.

Shen Tang: "…reconciled?"

"It's just me and him. I can't decide for the others."

As officials in the same court, they would see each other every day, not to mention that they were also close friends. As long as Su Shiyilu did not violate his principles, Chu Jie would not punish him to death in the future.

Chu Jie spoke tactfully, but Shen Tang still sighed.

"Things are unpredictable, they are unpredictable."

Looking back to the past, Chu Jie had a deep hatred with Su Shiyilu and Shiwu, and the two sides were opposed to each other and hostile. Chu Jie and others even made things difficult for Shen Tang and made him sign a military order to take 30,000 heads of Shiwu. It was not until Shen Tang actually completed the target that they were willing to serve under them.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed, and the two groups of people turned from enemies to friends.

Chu Jie: "Master doesn't want to see it?"

The Wuzhou Army has a special status in Kangguo. If Chu Jie wants to fight with the Wuzhou Army, there is only one possibility - Kangguo will be destroyed.

Shen Tang waved his hands: "How could that be?"

She wanted Kangguo to be united more than anyone else.

Thinking that Chu Jie's troops were tired from fighting, Shen Tang asked them to rest first, recuperate, eat and sleep. Chu Jie was not in a hurry to retreat. He accompanied Shen Tang to look at the dilapidated stone fort outside the military defense: "When will the master plan to take this place?"

The central allied forces continuously sent reinforcements to try to retake the stone fort, but found that it was a bottomless pit. Instead of saving the strategic location, they suffered heavy casualties.

Chu Jie led his troops back because they had not gained much in the past two days.

In other words, the stone fort lost its greatest value.

Shen Tang placed his hand on his brow.

Youyou said something that made people shiver all over: "According to accurate intelligence, the food and grass of the Stone Fort were exhausted eleven days ago. Do you want to guess how many ordinary soldiers are still alive there?"

This year's tomb sweeping is over. I climbed mountains and waded through water. My VX step count is over 20,000.

Excuse me, this chapter is a bit short.
