Chapter 660 Female Elder 1
There is a bamboo building built in the dense forest. Those bamboos are still green, as if they have just been cut.

This is where the Taoist surnamed Liu lives.This old man swore an oath to make everyone believe that he really didn't know, and that he came here purely for Ming Tong's sake.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't know anything about the friendship between Liu and Mingtong, but Luo Yuantang and Chen Yuanqi knew it quite well.

When he was still a real king, Mingtong saved old man Liu's life. Later, when he was promoted to Daojun, old man Liu helped Mingtong a lot. The two of them are definitely life-and-death friends, and their relationship is deeper than that of senior brothers.

After knowing this, Xie Xiaoyu became less suspicious.

Let the four people into the room, old man Liu asked his apprentice to bring tea, and then said: "This group of people is really hateful, if you didn't come, I would still be kept in the dark!"

"Hui Jing must know something, but unfortunately, the other party has been prepared to kill people immediately... Do you think this is a trap by a foreign race?" Chen Yuanqi turned his head and asked Xie Xiaoyu.

Xie Xiaoyu pondered for a while, and finally shook her head: "Only based on these, there is no way to judge."

"Then what about the savage actions? Why did they go out of their way and dare to hit the stone with an egg?" It was entirely because of this that Chen Yuanqi had such an idea.

"It's this that makes me puzzled. If it weren't for those barbarians, that boy wouldn't need to show up, and I wouldn't be able to break the situation. I can only continue to wait for the opportunity. The guy who arranged all this is a master strategist, and he is very serious about my situation. He has a deep research on his temper and character, so it is impossible to do such a superfluous and self-defeating thing." Xie Xiaoyu did not overestimate the opponent. This time, he felt that he could not use his strength, which was enough to prove the strength of the opponent.

"Forget about the person behind the scenes now, what about the local man?" Liu Daojun grabbed the topic. He was having a headache at the moment, and the other side had obviously let go of it. If these four people don't care anymore, wouldn't the whole thing be ruined? It fell on him?

"Since we already know what happened, is it still necessary to stay here? Let's leave too." Chen Yuanqi suggested.

"There's no rush to withdraw. We'd better find out why the barbarian has such an anomaly?" Xie Xiaoyu had his own plan. He was planning to get in touch with the barbarian king he knew, but now he just had an excuse.

"What are you going to ask?" Chen Yuanqi looked at Xie Xiaoyu.

"I have my own way." Xie Xiaoyu wasn't pretending to be mysterious, he just didn't want to cause any complications.

Some things, the fewer people know the better.

Suddenly, he thought of a question, a question he had always wanted to ask.

"How much food is there?" Xie Xiaoyu looked at that Liu Daojun. Based on his understanding of the local barbarians, there were not many things that the local barbarians could care about, but food was definitely one of them.

"I'm not sure, it seems to be no less than [-] million stones." Liu Daojun estimated a rough number.

"So much?" Xie Xiaoyu was taken aback, not only him, but also Mingtong and Luo Yuantang.The same is true for Chen Yuanqi. They only heard that the imperial court has been transporting grain to Tianbao Prefecture for the past few years, but they did not expect such a huge amount.

You must know that the imperial court can use only those hundreds of huge empty boats, and it takes a year to go back and forth. There is no way to compare with the huge fleet gathered in the sea of ​​​​Biliantian. How long will it take?
"It's not rice, but unhulled millet. I don't know why they didn't bring the rice directly?" The apprentice next to him interrupted.

"What? It's all millet?" Xie Xiaoyu became more and more surprised. During these days, he ate rice every day. He only thought it tasted good, like new rice, but he didn't expect it to be millet.

"It's millet, and it's very troublesome to store, and a ventilation channel is specially built for them, saying that they are afraid of mold." That apprentice knows a lot.

Xie Xiaoyu slapped his head: "I understand, this is not just rice, it is rice seeds at all, and there are capable people in the court."

Now he finally knew, why did the barbarian go crazy?

If it was just for food, those barbarians might take the risk, but the scale would definitely not be so large, and it would be different if it was replaced by rice seeds.

Thirty million stone rice seeds are enough for every native village to open up tens of thousands of acres of farmland, and they no longer need to worry about food.

"Just fire up and burn all the rice." Chen Yuanqi said fiercely.

"No, we took some of them away as rice seeds, and kept the rest. I plan to give those local barbarians as gifts." Xie Xiaoyu already had a countermeasure.

"Aren't you crazy? Isn't this an enemy?" Chen Yuanqi didn't understand Xie Xiaoyu's plan.

"The local barbarians are also human races. Those foreign races are just using them now. When the catastrophe happens, the foreign races may not be polite to them." Xie Xiaoyu has seen too many incidents of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. He doesn't think that the demon and ghost races are so noble.

"What if I guessed wrong? Or those local barbarians are born with low bones and are willing to act as lackeys of other races, what can you do?" Chen Yuanqi has always believed that people who are not of my race must have different hearts.

"That's okay, it's too wasteful to destroy the rice. It's better to let the barbarians plant it first, and we can grab food from them in the future." Xie Xiaoyu is not a good person, he had two plans in the first place.

This time Chen Yuanqi finally did not question it.

"Are our people going to withdraw?" Luo Yuantang asked.

"Two things can be done together. You are in charge of this side, and I am in charge of that side." Xie Xiaoyu originally didn't want anyone to follow her, so she happened to give these Dao Lords some things to do.

"I'm worried that you haven't done it yet, the blood sacrifice has already started, who knows what will be summoned?" Liu Daojun and Xie Xiaoyu are not familiar with each other, so they don't have much confidence.

"They don't know how to sacrifice blood. I'll let them know that once they make a move, the first thing we will do is burn the rice." Xie Xiaoyu said leisurely.
