The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 361 Unsolved Case
Taking advantage of the reshuffling of personnel in Shache City, Gan Minglan quietly left with her spoils.

Before leaving, she also took the camels and horses of the leaders who came to offer treasures outside the city, as well as all the leather bags that could be used to carry goods.

The leaders had come all this way to the capital, and besides offering gifts, they also had some business activities.

In the Western Regions, the camel is the most important means of transportation for carrying goods.

However, these livestock were too numerous to be brought into the royal city, and were mostly kept in the royal pastures outside the city.

As a result, the masters were trapped in the royal city and could not return.

The slaves were no match for the Rakshasa General!
Along with the livestock that already existed on the ranch, a total of more than 5,000 camels and more than 10,000 horses, she took them away overnight!

With the Wild Horse King leading the way and the mighty King Atu in hot pursuit, the horses and camels nearly ran themselves to death.

I can't do it without running.

To establish its authority, the Rat King, in front of all the camels, slashed the carotid artery in the neck of the strongest male camel with a single claw.

The male camel stared blankly at the blood gushing from its neck.

It lost its strength before it even felt the pain.

Then, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

All the camels looked at the Rat King differently now.

Danger!

Level 1 Danger!
The Wild Horse King was just as powerful as the Rat King.

The Wild Horse King doesn't have any deadly tricks; it wins people over with its strength.

The wild-grown horse king can run five hundred miles in one go. Such endurance is something that even the noble Akhal-Teke horse cannot do!

If it's impossible, then we can only submit.

Camels and horses ran ahead.

Gan Minglan asked the rat king's henchmen, whom he had gathered along the way, to help clean up the footprints behind him.

For this, she left over a thousand kilograms of doggrass seeds as payment to the gerbils.

Fortunately, the night after she left, Shache was hit by its first blizzard of the winter.

The snow was so heavy that it piled up to three feet deep.

When the unconscious slaves entered the capital and complained to their chieftains who were still there, the new king dispatched thousands of soldiers to help. They searched for several days but couldn't pinpoint the exact direction in which the horses and camels had disappeared.

The loss of camels, horses, and the enormous wealth of the royal palace became the biggest and most shocking theft case since the founding of the Kashgar Khanate.

There isn't even a suspect!

Not to mention how to recover those lost treasures!

Even if you know you want to pursue her, you can't win her back.

The culprit was now thousands of miles away.

Meanwhile, Hami City, which is nearly 4,000 kilometers away from Shache City, is also covered in snow at this time of year.

A giant eagle suddenly fell from the sky above the general's mansion.

"Hey, Da Jin is back!"

"There's something on its leg; it means there's news about the general."

"Da Jin is really amazing! Someone quickly send some fresh mutton to Da Jin as a reward for our great hero!"

The soldiers who had been waiting at the general's mansion for news were immediately excited and spread the good news.

We've been waiting far too long for news from the Western Regions.

With only half a month left until the Chinese New Year, people are not only worried about food, but also about the return of General Gan.

so far so good!
Da Jin followed the general all the way and actually managed to find the general's mansion from the Western Regions!
The old eagle knows the way!

Fifteen minutes later. Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Xiong Zhen excitedly slammed his fist on the table and shouted:

"Hahaha, General Gan will be back in about half a month! She really went deep into the tiger's den and caught the tiger cub!"

Tian Jiu and the others craned their necks, "What Tiger? Tell me in detail!"

Xiong Zhen, his face beaming with joy, swept away his recent worries and instructed, "General Tian, ​​you immediately lead three thousand men to meet them along the direction of Weilumu."

General Gan not only raided the Hu people's palace, but also obtained a camel and horse caravan from dozens of tribal leaders!

She also said that on her way back, she encountered a group of merchants from even further west than the Western Regions. She used the gold coins she had plundered from the palace to buy a large quantity of grain, beans, and top-quality wheat seeds! "We have hope for our seeds for next spring's planting!"

The general was breathing rapidly:

"Food and seeds! This is a great achievement!"

"I'll go to greet him! Even if it's a thousand miles, I'll go, no matter how far!"

"Let's go, Ang!"

"Let's go together, let's go together!"

The generals and lieutenants showed their joy at General Gan's return through their actions.

The letter was sent back.

In fact, General Gan had not yet begun to urge the delivery of the seeds and grains mentioned in the letter.

Why?

It was still to reduce the burden on horses and camels.

In such cold weather, with enough fodder and water, horses and camels can travel nearly 300 li (approximately 150 kilometers) a day.

If the journey starts with a heavy load in the first half, it will probably be difficult to get back before the Lunar New Year.

This is not in line with her original plan.

Therefore, the horses and camels were still relatively unburdened at this time.

Some people who are overworked can even enjoy a wave of supernatural healing.

The Rat King's role became even more significant.

While the camels and horses rest, it is also responsible for scouting ahead.

The route was designed to suit Gan Minglan's taste perfectly.

Not only did they avoid taking too many detours, they also perfectly avoided many Hu tribes and cities.

She ran around like this for seven days before she finally began her intensive hair growth program.

His hands kept moving, and he was chatting with the Rat King.
"Your Majesty, these past six months have really frustrated me. Your master is a person with a level 10 peak wood-type ability. Let alone mobilizing the food supply for hundreds of thousands of people, it would be no problem for me to feed a few hundred people."

"Squeak squeak squeak, the owner must not be exposed."

"Yes, we have the ability but we can't do it! It's just that when we see children who are the same age as our kids, no matter how much gold and silver we have, we can't make sure they can eat a meal of white rice or noodles anytime. It's really hard to bear."

"Chirp chirp chirp, little brat, you have me, the Great King!"

“With you, the eldest brother, to take care of the little one, the other little ones will have to rely on your master for their noodles! But with the current wheat yield in Bei, if we don’t improve the wheat varieties, the wasteland reclaimed in the first year will probably only yield a few dozen catties per mu. Those immigrants and military families will work themselves to the bone for a season, and after deducting the military tax paid to the garrison, what’s left might not even be enough for a family to eat for a year.”

"Crunch, crunch. If there's not enough to eat, just go and steal some! The palace underlings say they've never lacked food."

"Your Majesty, today I want to tell you two principles. One principle is that it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. The garrison should have high-quality wheat seeds. Even if the yield per mu is not too high, just doubling it will be enough to feed everyone."

Another principle is that if we want to fleece the sheep, we need to give them time to grow their wool back. What if we fleece them too densely and they stop wanting to grow their wool?

"If the sheep doesn't grow wool, then let's kill it and eat it. Master, have you recently taken a liking to camel meat and no longer like mutton?"
