Chapter 420 Remember
The day after Su Qingqing disappeared and no one could find her, the Northwest Army camp received a letter.
The content of the letter was very simple. Su Qingqing wrote two words to Mu Chuan: three days .
When she was at Ji's house, Su Qingqing made it clear that she would only stay in the northwest for three days and then leave.
Now it is the second day since Su Qingqing disappeared. Mu Chuan has not recovered the lost grain, nor can he find any trace of Su Qingqing. At the same time, the other four families in Yulin City have also received letters from Su Qingqing.
The content was also simple, just to remind them that if they did not pay the grain, their fate would be the same as that of the Su family, losing both the wife and the army, and ultimately getting nothing.
If they were willing to pay grain, the imperial court would forgive them the crime of enclosing land over the years and let bygones be bygones.
Su Qingqing listed a time. If the grain was to be delivered, half of the stored grain would be sent out on its own according to the time and delivered directly to Guangdong and Guangxi. If robbery occurred during the process, the person would be responsible for it.
The four families who received the letter gathered together anxiously.
If they had handed over the grain immediately after the landslide occurred at the military camp's grain storage point, perhaps they would not have to escort the grain. However, it was delayed for two days, and now not only do they have to hand over the grain, but they also have to spend manpower and resources to transport it.
However, there has been no news yet from the various dukedoms and marquisates in Kyoto on what to do.
Cooperate with Su Qingqing . To escort so much food out of Yulin at once, more than half of the family servants must be sent out. By then, they will be outnumbered and weak. If Su Qingqing wants to do something forcefully, they will have no power to resist at all.
But if they don't cooperate, all their food will be destroyed.
They had originally hoped that Mu Chuan would help them make a comeback, but now Mu Chuan himself couldn't find Su Qingqing's trace. Several people gathered here with Lu Yun, scratching their heads and discussing it, and finally decided to cooperate in order to protect their capital.
After all, if they couldn't find Su Qingqing, they wouldn't even have the chance to start a war and make a fortune.
Su Qingqing is in the dark while they are in the light, which is a great disadvantage.
On the last day of the three-day agreement, countless horse-drawn carriages set out from the Northwest Army camp, escorting cartloads of food and heading straight for Guangdong and Guangxi.
When the carriage carrying the food left the Northwest Military Camp, Su Qingqing called on almost all the people in Yulin to watch from a distance.
Mu Chuan was furious in the military camp.
"Su Qingqing is simply trying to kill me! This bitch! What's the point of letting these common people come to watch? Now everyone in Yulin and even the entire northwest knows that the Eight Great Families have enclosed land and the grain is hidden here."
Mu Chuan is going crazy.
The reason why he was able to take root so deeply in the Northwest was not only because his soldiers were brave and he was a good fighter, but also because of the support he received from the people of the Northwest.
But the people's land was enclosed by the Eight Great Families. Except for Yulin, the people in other places whose land was occupied were all living in dire straits. But who could have thought that the Northwest Army, which they had always trusted and relied on, was actually in cahoots with the people who enclosed their land!
This collapse of trust led many people to launch malicious attacks on the Northwest Army.
For the sake of his image, Mu Chuan had no choice but to strictly order the entire army not to resist. If they resisted, his image in the eyes of the people would collapse faster.
As half of the military's stored grain was taken away, four of the eight major families had to send more than half of their servants to escort the grain.
It was at this time that Su Qingqing led her men from Yulin to other places in the northwest, and lifted the confinement of the land that had been occupied by two of the Eight Great Families and returned it to the local people.
These two families are the Xue family and the Su family.
And he took advantage of the situation and left Xiao Yu in the place where land enclosure was most serious.
Xiao Yu was responsible for forming a team here, and the people sent by several marquisates and earldoms who had promised Su Qingqing at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that they would support her in forming a team in the northwest also arrived one after another.
Many of them are descendants of famous generals. Even if Mu Chuan is unwilling, he can't obviously do anything to the descendants of famous generals. What's more, he has just experienced the collapse of his image, and the local people are particularly supportive of Xiao Yu and others.
Mu Chuan regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
If he had agreed to Su Qingqing at that time, perhaps the situation would not have come to this point. Now, not only has he lost his mother's request for a title, but he has also let Su Qingqing open the situation.
The food problem has been basically solved, and the food to be transported to the whole country is on the way.
Su Qingqing left a letter for Mu Chuan before leaving.
The letter once again promised to give his mother a title.
Sitting in the carriage, Jixiang massaged Su Qingqing's legs while asking, "Master, we have solved the food problem, why do you still want to ask for a title for Mu Chuan's mother?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "To tame a tiger, fighting with it is certainly effective, but if you want to tame it slowly and quietly, it is best to lock it up and raise it.
The tiger is still a tiger, but it poses no threat to you."
In a fight, you injure one thousand enemies and eight hundred of your own.
With this letter hanging around, Mu Chuan will always be thinking about his mother. In this way, Mu Chuan will be a little wary of Xiao Yu and the others.
Jixiang looked worried, "Muchuan's Northwest Army has a hundred thousand soldiers. Once we leave, they won't attack Xiao Yu and the others right away, right?"
"Won't."
Su Qingqing answered confidently.
The location she chose was deliberately the farthest away from Mu Chuan's garrison. Firstly, there was the request for a title hanging over his head, and secondly, he would not be so blatant in attacking the people left behind by the court. After all, Xiao Yu stayed in the local area and Su Qingqing gave him the position of prefect. Thirdly, in Yulin, the Eight Great Families suffered such a great loss this time, and they could not find Su Qingqing to vent their anger, so they could only target Mu Chuan.
Let them fight each other.
After saying that, Su Qingqing turned her gaze to Ying Liu, "What are you talking about?"
Ying Liu's eyes were red, she pursed her lips and said to Su Qingqing: "Madam, Mo Duo..."
In front of Mo Duo, Ying Liu chose Xiao Yu unwaveringly, but after walking out of the door, she let go of Xiao Yu's hand.
She remembered what happened in the past.
I remember every scene and every incident.
To be exact, she remembered it two days ago.
But she didn't dare to admit it, nor did she dare to stand next to Moduo again.
It was a heart-wrenching experience, and she had experienced it once. She didn't want to endure it a second time.
She originally thought that she had fallen in love with Xiao Yu, but only after she remembered everything that happened in the past did she realize that her feelings for Xiao Yu were not called being moved, but admiration.
What is love? She has experienced the most passionate kind, so how could she accept a lukewarm kind again?
Su Qingqing sighed and pinched Yingliu's cheek. "Why are you two doing this? You are torturing each other like this. If you feel sorry for him..."
Tears as big as beans rolled down Yingliu's eyes, "It's because I feel sorry for him, so I don't want him to experience the heartbreak of that year again."
