Chapter 373 Self-respect of the soldiers
Qi Sha did not expect Pei Yi to ask him such a question.
He himself felt ashamed of Pei Yi because of his lifespan, so he changed his name unconsciously—in order to remind himself not to be delusional, and not to delay Pei Yi.
But he didn't expect that there was such a subtle difference, and he might not even feel it, but the third master actually noticed it.
Qisha felt sad and sweet at the same time.
He can hide things well, but he really doesn't know about feelings, and he always hits a straight ball. Now that Pei Yi asks this question, he feels that he has nothing to hide, so it's better to tell the truth.
"I am a dead man, and I can only live to be in my early twenties at most." Qi Sha said with a gloomy expression, "I don't want the third master to be too sad for me when I leave."
Pei Yi was stunned.
She never thought that the other party would give such a reason.
At this moment, her heart was full of pity.
She discovered that this seemingly indifferent and ignorant young man actually had a delicate heart.
Pei Yi comforted softly: "You forgot that I said earlier that I would develop the ultimate antidote for you? With drug conditioning, you can live a long life."
Seven Kills is not so optimistic.
He rarely showed a little sadness, and said solemnly: "The dead man's body was exhausted prematurely, and even if there is an antidote, he can live to be twenty-five years old at most."
It is rash to say that twenty-five years old, living to twenty-four years old is the "longevity" envied by many dead men.
Pei Yi felt sad when she heard these words.
The big brother Chu Linze (Qi Sha) in the original book is a short-lived person. Presumably, as Qi Sha said, even if there is an antidote, his body will already be exhausted, and he can only linger on for a few years.
If this is the case, then what is the point of her begging Father for the ultimate antidote?
Pei Yi felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
But she turned to think of one thing, and she became happy again.
"Isn't Doctor Yue in Wanshou County?" Pei Yi pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Before, our people made an appointment with him to come to seek medical treatment on June 20. Anyway, Doctor Yue will show Du Zizhang that day Brain, let him show it to you by the way, too."
In the original book, Miracle Doctor Yue is the ceiling of medical skills in the book, and Pei Yi is very confident in this person's medical skills.
Seven kills did not hold much hope.
His colleagues have given him too much factual experience with their own short-lived experience, and he dare not naively think that a so-called miracle doctor can prolong his life.
"That's the deal." Pei Yi had a plan in mind, and her tone relaxed.
Qi Sha saw her so happy, but her heart became heavier and heavier. In case the genius doctor Nayue is helpless, wouldn't Saburo be even more sad when the time comes? This kind of thing that is hopeful from the beginning is the easiest to cause disappointment.
At this time, the servant came in and reported: "My lord, the third prince is looking for you outside the house and said he has something important to discuss."
Pei Yi was thoughtful, and calmly ordered: "Please come in and talk about it, Your Highness the Third Highness."
The servant took the order and left.
Not long after, Huo Yuan walked into the room.
He looked a little coy, after all, he was scolded by Pei Yi just now because of the fight, and he felt that he was shameless in his heart.
Pei Yi was relaxed and at ease.
She stood up from behind the desk, beckoned Huo Yuan to sit aside, and asked with a friendly smile, "I don't know what your Highness is looking for me for?"
Seeing that she was so relaxed, Huo Yuan felt that a man was not as good as a girl, and suddenly he felt relieved.
He sat on the chair next to the desk, and said in a deep voice, "I almost witnessed a riot in the tavern today..."
Pei Yi was taken aback, and listened intently to Huo Yuan's eloquence.
In the end, Huo Yuansu Rong analyzed: "The famine in Wanshou County last year was really strange. The common people said that they didn't have a bad harvest last year, so there should be no famine."
Pei Yi closed her eyes and thought about it for a while, then she said: "If the food in Wanshou County was abundant last year, then this famine would be really strange. It is obvious that every household has enough food, but in the end it caused a lot of trouble. There is no food to eat, so where does the food go?"
Huo Yuan thought about these words, his face became more and more serious. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in his mind, and his complexion could not help but light up slightly.
Pei Yi also had some eyebrows in her heart, and her face was a little strange.
Both of them looked at each other subconsciously, and their eyes met.
Pei Yi smiled leisurely and said, "Your Highness should be aware of this, so why not tell me."
Huo Yuan smiled slightly: "I think you have an idea, why don't you talk about it first."
Pei Yi didn't refuse, and the smile on her face subsided slightly.
She didn't speak, but dipped her finger into the teacup with a little water, and then wrote the word "bing" on the case.
Huo Yuan knew it in his heart, Pi Liyang Qiu said with a smile: "Heroes see the same thing."
The two actually wanted to go together.
So much food suddenly disappeared, there must always be a place to go.
The food disappeared strangely, and a lot of it disappeared, indicating that there is a place that needs a lot of food and it should not be known to the outside world.
Combined with the previous news that the fifth prince may have privately raised heavy soldiers in Wanshou County, it is very likely that the food was used by this group of soldiers hiding in the dark.
Moreover, from the perspective of food consumption, there should be a lot of soldiers in this group.
"There are at least 30,000 people." Huo Yuan whispered.
There are 30,000 soldiers and horses raised near Kyoto, which is really not a small number.
Pei Yi gasped.
So many soldiers and horses are hoarding near the capital, if there is any change, it will definitely be a bloodbath.
"Right now, we need to find out where these soldiers and horses are hiding." Huo Yuan's face was rare and serious, and his voice was extremely low, with a dangerous aura.
Pei Yi suddenly remembered that Xiao Junlin said earlier that he would come to Wanshou County to do rice and noodle business. Could it be that... the food is for these soldiers?
Thinking about this, Pei Yi expressed her own thoughts: "Your Highness, Gu Huaiyu was traveling with me earlier, and what he transported on the way was a batch of rice noodles..." She said so.
After hearing this, Huo Yuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "Gu Huaiyu and my brothers are very close, maybe they are really working for my fifth brother. Since you have sent someone to watch the shop where Gu Huaiyu trades rice noodles , is there any gain now?"
Pei Yi has been handed over to Qisha to be responsible for this matter, and it is more appropriate to have Qisha to talk about the specific situation.
Qisha, who had been standing silently by the side, said at the right time: "Those shops haven't had any large amount of grain transactions yet. If there is any change in the transactions of the shops, the people under me will report it immediately."
