Chapter 143: Relief Food from the Imperial Court

Yawning.

The bandits in the village stretched themselves, and when they opened their eyes they saw a huge pile of food outside the corridor, filled with hemp bags and stacked together.

There was a very strange-looking font on it, but they could vaguely recognize it, which was probably the character "米".

It's really rare. How could rice and flour be delivered to the door on such a snowy day? Could it be that the boss went to rob them again last night?

My brothers are in for a treat this morning. It's not a big deal to eat dried meat every day. Besides, most of the game in the forests are hibernating. It's not good to kill and rob a family of five.

What will they eat next year?

Be prepared for a rainy day.

"Oh, this rice is still good rice!"

"I'm afraid the food served by the wealthy families in Jiangnan is just so-so!"

One of them had already opened the hemp leather bag, reached in and took out a handful of rice. Inside was indeed a handful of crystal clear white rice.

"How dare you touch it with your dirty hands?"

"Put it back quickly!"

The other person kicked him on the butt in disgust. The man staggered a few steps and put the rice back in dismay.

"What? I just touched it."

"Brothers, it's been a while since you last saw what rice looks like. Can't you be a little curious?"

The northern part of the country mainly eats noodles, which is also suitable for growing wheat. The south has a lot of rain, so there are mostly paddy fields, and most people in the south grow rice.

Although we are poor, we are really poor, but since we became bandits, we have seen a lot.

He naturally knew that this was good rice. This piece of white rice was completely different from what the poor people ate. If it were the rice of the poor, it would mostly contain broken chaff, not so much rice.

"This is really a case of opening one's eyes. Could it be that the boss has gone to rob the imperial grain tribute to the emperor?"

Otherwise, where does such good rice come from?

"You are right. This is indeed the emperor's food."

A woman with a slightly stout figure and wearing a wolf skin came out from behind, leading a big gray wolf with the chain making a noise. She smiled.

Looking at the food that the man promised to give, she felt very happy. It seemed that this man did not deceive her. Such good rice and flour, if not from the royal court, who in the world could afford it.

Even compared with Gongmi, it is nothing special.

Since she has shown her sincerity, I will do what I say and at least help my brothers and sisters get through the winter.

They can also take these rice, flour and grain down the mountain and send them to their families.

If there weren't so many brothers and sisters in the family and they couldn't even get enough food to eat, who would want to become a bandit and be helpless?

"Ah... ah?"

"Boss, you really went to rob the emperor's grain last night... At this critical moment, you are not robbing the army's pay, are you?"

After all, the boss is so brave. When did their Longya Village become so powerful that he even dares to rob the military pay of the imperial court.

A gleam of longing flashed in that man's eyes, and he came forward while rubbing his big hands, as if he imagined that the boss was like a ghost descending in the cold wind of the night, and defeating those ignorant soldiers who were escorting the military pay!

If you have offended the imperial court, then you have offended the imperial court. Just enjoy life while you can. It seems that if you don't offend the imperial court, the imperial court will not suppress the bandits.

"What are you talking about? The mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the roads are difficult to travel. Will the army send troops to attack us?"

"You have a good idea."

The woman squatted down and put her slender fingers into the gray wolf's fur.

The man scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Then... Boss, where did all this food come from?"

"It can't be pie in the sky!"

Hearing his startled voice, the leader of Longya Village looked into the distance, staring at a gentle figure, and was stunned where he stood.

The sound of her answer was a bit like a murmur.

"It was given by the imperial court."

Although it was given by the court, the aura of the woman had nothing to do with the court. If anything, she felt that the woman was like a well-educated and well-mannered young lady from a book.

She placed her fingers in the soft wolf fur and smoothed the shiny garlic hairs. It was not accurate to say that the eldest daughter of a wealthy family could plan and win battles thousands of miles away like a military advisor.

Hearing the hesitation in the boss's words, the man heard the sound of falling snow behind him. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fair-skinned woman standing in the snow with an umbrella.

Her fingers were a little red from the cold, but the expression on her face showed no fear of the cold at all. A few snowflakes escaped the cover of the oil-paper umbrella and fell on her face and her eyelashes.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

This is certainly not all the food. Xia Zhiyuan naturally knows the rule of keeping something in reserve. Who would show all his family assets to others right away?

Isn't this just saying to others blatantly, I am a fat sheep, come and slaughter me!

With a smile in her eyes, she looked at the bandits under the eaves. She had no fear at all of being in a den of thieves, which was in stark contrast to the sour-looking scholars before.

This woman's courage is truly admirable; she's probably as brave as the boss.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied."

"In this case, could you please tell your Excellency, young lady from the court, your intentions and what you want us to do for you?"

It was the first time that she spoke so meticulously, and it felt a little strange, but it was harmless. She was used to being vulgar anyway, if she hadn't taken into account that this young lady was an elegant person from the court.

If he had intended to form an alliance, he would probably have sworn at it a long time ago.

Given by the imperial court…! Given by the imperial court! ?

Could it be that this beautiful woman in front of him was an envoy from the imperial court? !

So how did she get up there?

As the big boss said just now, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow now. In these desolate mountains and wilderness, even if they are bandits who are familiar with the area, they need a team of people to prepare twice before they dare to go out.

"You...you...are really from the imperial court. Are you...a female ghost?"

He looked at the woman's face and was horrified. She was so beautiful, but the more he looked at her, the more she looked like a female mountain ghost.

Is he going to take someone's life?

"Don't make a fuss, just come and move the things. Who cares if she's a real ghost? The rice and flour are not fake."

Several people walked out of the house, each holding a large bundle of arrows in their arms. Behind them, someone was carrying a bucket of oil and following the two men.

These arrows are their best treasures. If they are to be used, they must be maintained.

What is going on?

"You guys have so many arrows for no reason... Could it be that the imperial court is attacking us? Come on!"

In this case, this woman was most likely a bait released by the court to confuse them and negotiate with them.
