720 The South’s Decision

The fat man stood by the window of the small attic, staring deeply at the vast land in the distance. It was morning in the northern county, and a faint white mist curled around the black soil fields.

A river is like a belt, running straight across the plain in front of you, like a big map, pastures and gardens. Many farmers are already working along the network of ditches and rivers.

In its vast fields, scattered are not traditional wheat, but clusters of green straw.

This is a kind of black-skin wheat from the northern grasslands. Some of them have small spikelets, but they are not full yet. They look light and fluttering when blown by the wind on the plains. A light green wave of wheat is swaying in the wind.

This kind of black wheat with thin green stalks used to only grow on the edges of mountains and rivers close to the northern grasslands. It is not very dependent on climate and terrain and has strong adaptability.

The Kugit people have known the practicality of this plant very early. The herding Kugit people usually use this rough-tasting black wheat as a wild grain for war preparation.

If they pass by an area of ​​wild rye when grazing, the Kujit people will often vomit it, first let the tired horses eat to their fullness, and then drag the full rye wheat, as long as it is ground It can be eaten. Although the taste is very poor and dry and hard to swallow, it is not bad on the vast grassland.

Fatty also learned from Sceris that there is this magical plant in the Kugit grassland that has a very short growth pattern and often only takes about 3 months to mature.

In the past, every winter during famine years, the Kugit people would hoard this black wheat to survive the winter.

Fatty has had people try it. As long as he adds a certain amount of flour and mixes it, he can barely make brown bread for human consumption. A bad taste is better than starving to death.

Fatty quickly decided to use this black rye wheat as an emergency ration to be widely promoted in the three northern counties.

The climate and humidity here are very close to those of the northern grasslands, and the soil and moisture are more abundant. If the farming model is strictly regulated, this kind of black wheat that used to be wild should be able to shine on this land.

There is no other way to do this. Although the southern part of Wikiya has had a good harvest this year and the food harvested is 20% more than in previous years, there are millions of Kugits this year, and then the number is even higher. There are many Ruidian people, and there is a severe drought in the Salander area. In order to maximize the mobilization of the newly harvested food to supply various places,

The Southern Governor Statuent was so worried that he almost collapsed from exhaustion. In order to set an example, this governor, who was a knight's apprentice, ate sea fish for a month.

It is easy to get angry if you eat too much of it. I heard that the southern governor now has blisters all over his mouth and it is difficult to even eat. The fat man has asked Hutu Emma’s pharmacist’s daughter to take care of him. I heard that the two of them are quite compatible. Eye-catching,

The bright golden morning light outside the window is like a halo of light shining in from the noisy window at the top of the hotel. The faint goose-yellow light forms spots on the ground.

The wind carries a unique charm of the mature autumn season,

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to set off," Turrit Colleen reminded softly from behind the fat man.

"Yeah, it's time to set off." The fat man looked away from the window with some regret in his heart. It would be great if he could see these black wheats ripening.

According to calculations, the black rye wheat will enter the maturity stage in about half a month, which is expected to greatly alleviate the current food crisis in the Falcon Dynasty caused by the sudden resettlement of a large number of refugees.

Taking the cold-proof cloak from Turrit Colleen's hand, the fat man pushed open the door of the room. The two guards captains waiting outside hurried away. One of them knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man with a fearful expression.

"Huh? Something happened?"

The fat man frowned slightly. The squadron leader who was half-kneeling in front of him was the person in charge of duty last night. The squadron leader reported, "Your Majesty, because of the negligence of your subordinates, the criminal escaped. Please forgive me." "

"You want to commit a crime? Are you saying that Tiernarant left?" The fat man blinked his eyes, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he showed some surprise. Tiernarant actually left? It really surprised Fatty.

"Yes, Tyrnarant and Tyrnuris suddenly asked to leave in the middle of the night last night," the Guards Squadron Leader said nervously. The subordinates wanted to stop them, but because His Majesty had an order not to block their freedom, so The subordinates can only let him go."

"Let's go, get up, you are just following my orders." The fat man waved his hands helplessly. Could it be that such a sincere and sincere attitude, regardless of past grudges, could not move this guy's heart?

What went wrong somewhere?

The fat man who came out of the hotel and mounted his horse tilted his head in distress. He saw that Tiernarant was not a very principled person. As for a noble person who could not be shady about wealth and power, it was even more nonsense.

This guy's character is a typical aristocratic elite mentality. He only pursues power and reputation, but what he is given is enough to make him effective, but why does he want to leave? This made the fat man, who thought he was very accurate at reading people, feel very sleepy.

The horse team left the town and ran up a slightly raised hill. The scenery in front of them changed. The horses' hooves stepped on the soft soil.

The hot and gloomy sun in September has just risen from the horizon. The purple rhizome, hyacinth, and narcissus in the fields have shrunk, and there are still some residual flowers on the green fields.

This is Ruibogen, the largest grain-producing area in the Ruidian Kingdom. As far as the eye can see, I can see wind wheels turning in the morning breeze, clusters of farmhouses, small villages, and small houses with geese perching on sloping roofs.

The low-hanging shrubs along the river embankment, the town shrouded in the vastness in front of him, the town center with a spire in the middle, the hazy outline of the bell tower, and the thin sound of running water gradually calmed down the fat man's mind.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking that Tiernarant is leaving?" A gust of fragrance blew over, and Turrit Colleen, wearing a gorgeous emerald dress, came up from behind the team.

"Oh, you?" The fat man turned his head curiously and felt his eyes light up.

A maroon wind cape and a green complexion skirt outline the stunning figure of Turrit Corinne. The purple top knot is from bottom to top, and the bun is gradually reduced. She rides on a white horse, showing the grace of a witch. Graceful and dazzling

"Yesterday, when His Majesty and Tyrnarant were having a secret conversation in the room, I also had some conversations with Tyrnuris outside the room," Turrit Corinne said slowly with a strange expression.

"Although Tirnuris didn't say it clearly, I can tell that the Tirnalant brothers and sisters were being hunted this time, and it seemed to be related to one of them. I think Tillnalant's departure should be for this reason. "

"Tata" the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front

While the two were talking, a scout cavalry who was clearing the way in front came on horseback. Behind the scout cavalry, there was also a rider on horseback.

"It's Tyrnuris"

The fat man heard Turrit Colleen's surprised low cry in his ears. He turned his head and saw that the horse on the other horse was clearly Tiernuris who left with Tiernarant last night.

"Something happened? Where's Tiernarant?" The fat man hurriedly shouted,

This beautiful woman like a fiery rose has a pale face at this moment, her eyes are red and bloodshot, and her beautiful long hair is draped over her shoulders. The arrogance of the past has long gone.

"Your Majesty, please save my brother. Now only Your Majesty has the ability to stop him." Before she could reach her side, Tirnuris had already fallen off her horse and came with a stream of fragrant wind, her pale face full of expressions. anxious,

"Brother went to Palaven alone," Tiernuris cried and said, "He asked me to wait for him here last night, but I didn't see anyone at dawn, so I thought, he must have gone to Palaven. He wants revenge for that"

"?" The fat man dismounted and supported her, and looked at Turrit Corinne curiously. Unexpectedly, Turrit Corinne guessed it. He didn't expect that Tiernarant, who always calculated others, would do it because of this. One, making the decision to refuse

"It's a Marquis from Palaven." Tiernuris's delicate body lying on the fat man's shoulder trembled, and her voice was filled with tears and she said intermittently.

"My brother met a marquis when he was in exile in Palavon. At first, the man was very cold towards my brother. My brother didn't have much thoughts. He just wanted to find a way to be promoted.

That was the period when my brother was at his lowest point. At that time, His Majesty Zhengzhi sent his army to the northwest wilderness to defeat the main force of Ruildian and marched into Aichmore. At that time, my brother also stayed at the base camp of the Northern Army.

Faced with the failure, the angry Ruidian people naturally suspected their brother, a Wikiyan, as the reason for the failure. They said that his brother was an internal agitator of the Wikiyan people, and that he informed the Wikiyan about the strategic intentions of the Northern Army. Asians, that’s why the main force of the Northern Army was surrounded,

Although his brother tried his best to distinguish, he was still abandoned by the Ruidian army without hesitation, and his career that had just improved was interrupted again. At that time, the honest Marquis suddenly changed his attitude.

She approached her brother and not only agreed to his proposal, but also agreed to help him regain the trust of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Because of her guarantee and her influence, her brother not only regained the attention of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Ruidian, but also Gradually became one of the confidants of the second prince Rui Erdian."

“Isn’t this great?”

The fat man rolled his eyes, patted Tirnulis's shoulder gently, and muttered to himself to comfort the Tire princess who was crying. In fact, the fat man shouldn't comfort Tirnulis. I am the culprit in your mouth. You lie in my arms and cry like this. It makes me feel so embarrassed. It is wrong.

"Everything was going smoothly, but unfortunately everything changed overnight." Tierniulis raised her head from the fat man's arms, her eyes full of memories.

"That was a special night. The soldiers knocked on my brother's door urgently in the middle of the night, and then there was the secret revelation of Palavin. Because my brother was the confidant of the second prince, he also became the subject of the betrayal. One of the executive officers, mainly responsible for the defense of the city

Brother, no, that Marquis is also on the list of people who must be eradicated that night.

In this way, until daybreak, my brother saw from the ruins that he saw that the Marquis had been secretly executed long ago, and even the body was burned without any bones left.

From then on, the elder brother became disheartened and had no intention of helping the second prince.

Coupled with the wanton behavior of the southern aristocracy in Kyoto,

My brother originally wanted to take revenge.

But because of me, I decided to secretly leave Palavon and return to the Northern County. Because there were too many secrets, I was targeted by the second prince’s people as soon as I left, and they hunted me down all the way.”
