Chapter 291 Smuggling Food and Grass
The eerie red moon hung high in the sky, emitting an enchanting red light. Travelers on the road hid in the dense forests on the roadside or set up tents to avoid the intrusion of the red moon.
On the official road, carriages loaded with food and fodder were placed there in plain sight, and even the horses had disappeared.
"The Dynasty Army is really generous. If we don't take this food, it seems a bit unfair to them."
The flying orcs in the Black Dragon Guard transformed into beast form. A team of thirty people, carrying Lu Xingyan, flew across the red sky and arrived at the road where the Dynasty Army was transporting grain.
"The Wanchao Army is home to various factions from Kyoto. Although they are directly under the command of the Empress, they secretly act in defiance of her orders. These parasites have always been arrogant and domineering.
"Before, the Northern Kingdom's army and the Jiang family's army were busy fighting, and they knew no one would be free to move the food and fodder. This was blatant laziness. Anyway, whether refugees or city dwellers, they always depended on the soldiers and officials. Who would dare to touch the food and fodder?"
Lu Xingyan had some understanding of the Dynasty Army. When the Lu family was doing business in the past, they often dealt with the army. It can only be said that the internal situation was already corrupt. From the officers to the soldiers, they were all greedy and hedonistic, and they only knew how to oppress the citizens within the Dynasty.
"Who cares? My dear, take all the food and supplies and let those bastards eat dirt." The Black Dragon Guards had naturally had conflicts with the Dynasty Army. At that time, the Fourth Princess was really cowardly. After all, she was very tolerant of the Gu family.
Now, they can finally vent their anger. The Black Dragon Guards felt refreshed both physically and mentally. Their current master is still the best.
"Hahaha, don't insult the dog. Dogs are much better than those Dynasty soldiers."
"Don't laugh so loudly. If the Dynasty Army ever surrenders to the Princess, we'll have to join the ranks of those damned bastards."
In fact, this is a matter of time. After all, the fourth princess will eventually sit on that position, and then the entire Eastern Dynasty will belong to the princess. Even if the princess wants, the four seas will be hers.
At that time, these newly-appointed Black Dragon Guards would lead the dynasty army and train all the soldiers to be loyal only to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess.
"Sooner or later, that day will come. When that time comes, hmph! I'll train these bastards into dead dogs."
Disobedient? It's said that the Red Moon is a demon star, and only by submitting to their princess and cultivating spiritual power can you survive. Then there will be plenty of people begging you for mercy.
"Brothers, please take this as a warning. We must not forget our original aspirations and not become the people we hate today."
The Black Dragon Guards have had a difficult journey, and the princess's future path will only be more difficult. If they betray the princess, it would be a disaster, and the princess has been so good to them.
Nowadays, every Black Dragon Guard has good food and drink, is protected by spiritual power, and is rich. They live better than most wealthy families in Kyoto and can be considered to have brought honor to their family.
"Don't worry, my lord. Anyone who can become a Black Dragon Guard is not a fool." The first requirement for becoming a Black Dragon Guard is loyalty. If you can't pass this level, you will be eliminated during the test.
Later, the beastly husbands of the Jiang family also took turns brainwashing, and General Xingzi's daily training made the Black Dragon Guards even more loyal and united.
Even if there is something happening at home, you can report it and seek help from the organization to solve the problem.
The Black Dragon Guard is now a very loving big family. No one wants to lose it and works hard to maintain it.
You know, if the Fourth Princess gave up these burdens, she could actually live a more comfortable and happy life with her strength. A large part of the reason why the Fourth Princess fought and fought for the Black Dragon Guards who once followed her was that she became busy and exhausted.
Lu Xingyan raised his lips in satisfaction. He used his spiritual power to collect the food from the official road into his space, filling two space rings. One for him, and the other one given by Fire Kirin. Hehe~
The Flying Black Dragon Guards were not threatened by the Red Moon. When they arrived, they took away all the food and fodder of the Dynasty Army, even the carriages were not spared.
At noon the next day, the night watchman finally woke up with a yawn and said, "Let's go check on the food supplies."
Some guards were chewing cold steamed buns when they walked to the official road. The buns in their mouths fell to the ground with a thud.
They thought they were dazzled and raised their hands to rub their eyes desperately, but when they looked again, the official road was still empty, with only the marks left by the carriage wheels.
This mark was left by them when they came, but when they went back, there was no trace of vehicles passing through. So, where was the food?! Where did all those dozens of carts full of food go?
"No, General! The food and supplies are gone!" Several soldiers crawled back to report the news.
Some of the team leaders who had just woken up burst into laughter after hearing this. "These bastards are making trouble again."
Even when transporting food and supplies, there were open and covert struggles within the team, so all kinds of small pranks and minor incidents often occurred.
"That's right. We didn't even hear any movement of wild animals. How could the good food and fodder be gone?"
The various forces in the army supervised each other and no one could take advantage of anyone else, so they arranged people to keep watch at night. These people wore straw raincoats and guarded near the food and grass. What could go wrong?
"Sir! General! They're really gone! Not a single cart of food is left!" It's over! The night watchman was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled.
The leaders of the grain team looked at each other with suspicion.
So the group rushed to the official road, "Let's go take a look."
But in the end, where was the food? "Where's the food?!"
It's true they stole the food. Originally, there were fifty carts of food, but only thirty arrived in Sanwu County. Twenty of those carts were scattered along the way, but it was impossible to take it all! This was the decision the leaders had reached.
"Did you secretly transport it away?"
"Did you secretly transport it away?"
Several people started questioning and accusing each other at the same time.
"I didn't, it must be you guys who did it."
"It's you! I don't have the ability to take away all that food at once."
"Night duty troops! What's going on?" There are several groups of people guarding the night duty troops every night. They must know the inside story.
"I, we don't know. The food disappeared while we were napping. We didn't hear anything."
"Yes, could it be ghosts or monsters causing trouble?"
"Look everyone, there are only wheel tracks on the road from the way here. The carriage didn't go back, nor did it move forward. The food just disappeared without a trace~"
"Puchi!" The sound of a sharp sword piercing through the body made the night watchman stop talking abruptly. Then his body fell to the ground with a thud and he soon died.
"Damn it! Why did you kill my soldiers?" When another leader saw his men being killed, he immediately swung his sword and slashed at the other night watchmen.
"Stop! Are you trying to silence people and destroy evidence?"
"Who destroyed the evidence? I get mad just listening to his nonsense!"
"Alright, alright, let's think of a solution first~"
For a moment, the team escorting the grain was in chaos.
