Chapter 293 Wine and Meat in the Cold Winter
The soldiers watched them charge towards him with crude wooden sticks, without any trace of fear in their eyes. Watching them bark their teeth and claws, it was like a group of monkeys doing a funny show.

Wearing armor, they believed confidently that they alone could defeat the three of them, and soon the battle turned into a one-sided beating. With their superiority in weapons and numbers, this group of savages were defeated in less than five minutes. Knocked down to the ground and tied up with a rope.

For a while, curses, howls and miserable cries resounded throughout the valley.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: "General, the number of people has been counted. There are 36 men, 28 women, and 74 cubs. There are [-] people in total."

After listening to the number of people reported, Shi Yue nodded in satisfaction, arresting so many people at one time was a good fortune, and I think this time will definitely make Zhao Jian bleed severely.

Shi Yue rubbed her stiff hands from the cold, looked at the gloomy sky, and said, "Look at them, we'll spend the night here tonight, shit, I've been walking in the wild for so long so I can have a rest place, go and bring some jars of good wine to warm up the brothers."

Hearing this, the soldier showed joy on his face. In this cold weather, drinking a sip of strong wine was simply refreshing. He hurriedly responded, and quickly called his companions to carry the wine and meat on the deer cart.

At night, the cold wind howled outside the cave, but the inside of the cave was extremely lively. The soldiers ate hot food and drank fine wine, and the savages watching swallowed.

These people have never seen such a luxurious meal, not only the delicious food, but also the liquid with a strange taste that makes their saliva almost flow out, they want to pounce on it and take a sip.

Shi Yue saw a Caucasian child stretching his neck and looking straight at him, the corner of his mouth turned up and he said to a soldier: "Go, give them something to eat, these guys can't waste it in vain, in the future we will build a stronghold here Let them do the work!"

Hearing this, the soldier glanced at the savages without cutting, got up and called a few people impatiently, and brought some food to them.

With the food, this group of people didn't care about their hands being tied behind their backs. They threw themselves on the ground, picked up the food from the bowl, and started to gobble it up.

"A group of savages, preventing me from drinking and eating meat." The soldier looked at this group of ordinary starving savages, his eyes were full of disgust, and he muttered a few curse words, then returned to the campfire impatiently, and began to eat and drink.

In the early morning, after the soldiers woke up from their sleep, Shi Yue urged the soldiers to pack up their things and continue to look for the savages around them.

The strong wind last night covered all the footprints on the snow, which made it much more difficult for them to find humans. Now they are walking around completely by luck.

After walking like this for three consecutive days, the group got nothing.

Looking at the vast forest, sea and snowfield, Shi Yue knew that going on like this was not an option, the soldiers couldn't bear the cold weather for a long time.

For the sake of safety, Shi Yue decided to temporarily abandon the search and arrest work, and took everyone back to the meeting point.

When Shi Yue and his group returned, seeing that Zhao Jian and the others had also returned, and it seemed that his gains were not small, Shi Yue immediately felt very upset.

Seeing Zhao Jian walking towards him with a smile on his face, he wished he could punch him in the face.

Zhao Jian glanced at the savages who were tied up behind him, and was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He said flatteringly: "General Shi, you came back late enough, how is it? The harvest is not bad!"

"Oh, it's okay, I don't know how General Zhao will reap!" Shi Yue said with a half smile.

"I'm not lucky. I only caught more than 100 savages after I went out. I'm sure I can't compare with General Shi. It seems that this time, brother, I will spend all my copper coins." Zhao Jian said with a smile.

The corner of Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and she snorted coldly and said, "General Zhao is lucky. Shi only captured more than 70 people. You won this time. Go back to Yancheng and take your soldiers with you. Be careful not to burst your stomach."

"Hey! Did General Shi only arrest more than 70 people? It seems that I am really lucky this time. When I return to Yancheng, I will take my brothers and wait for General Shi's wine and meat." Zhao Jian laughed.

Seeing Zhao Jian's incomparably embarrassed expression, Shi Yue snorted coldly, and led her subordinates into this crude stronghold.

After leaving for nearly ten days, some houses have been built in this place. I don’t know which soldier had a whim. The houses here were not built with wood, but a hole was dug directly on the ground, and the top of the hole was covered with wood. The house is basically similar to a small cave, and a bonfire is lit outside the entrance of the cave, which is very warm.

Shi Yue ordered these savages to be imprisoned. Although what happened to Zhao Jian made him very upset, he didn't take it to heart.

Although his salary is not much, he still has a considerable amount of wealth after accumulating for such a long time, and if he spends a part of it, it will not hurt his muscles and bones.

Sitting by the fire, Shi Yue asked someone to bring a piece of animal skin, took out a piece of charcoal from the fire, and wrote earnestly: "Minister! Shi Yue, greeting Your Majesty, we have arrived in the north, it is very cold here, and we have built I found the residence, captured some savages, and the supplies were insufficient, so I asked for more supplies.”

After finishing writing, Shi Yue lifted it up and looked at it. She was very satisfied with her crooked handwriting, so she called a few cavalrymen and asked them to send the document to Yancheng immediately.

Seeing the soldiers rushing out, Zhao Jian came to Shi Yue, and said with a smile: "General Shi told His Majesty about the situation here, and you are the only one who can write here, which is really enviable."

Shi Yue cast a glance at Zhao Jian, and said: "Your Majesty asked all the officials to learn to read as much as possible. Who can you blame if you don't learn?"

"Hey, it's okay to learn one or two of those characters. Putting them together, I'm stumped. Where can I learn it? General Shi is much better than me at this point." Zhao Jian shook his head and smiled wryly.

Shi Yue snorted coldly, closed her eyes and meditated, as if she didn't want to talk more with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Jian laughed and said: "General Shi, you and I are both Daxia officials with the same position, now we are staying in this poor place, we should help each other, here is a jar of good wine, let's have a good drink. "

Shi Yue smelled the aroma of the wine, her eyes lit up, "Erguotou, you actually have such good wine."

"Hey, I can't think of it. I asked for this from General Lin Jianya. It's a good wine. Your Majesty doesn't have much of it." Zhao Jian said, smelling the aroma of the wine, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"It's almost full." Shi Yue swallowed her saliva and said excitedly.
