Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If Bai Wutong knew what Gu Chilie was thinking, she would definitely laugh. Reputation could be easily disintegrated in the face of absolute strength. Why would she need that kind of thing?
Her initial plan was to find a quiet place with Chu Tianbao and live her own life. However, things did not go as planned. Although Chu Tianbao had a high status, it had also brought a lot of trouble.
Gu Chilie said fiercely, “It’s not up to you to educate my daughter!”
Bai Wutong smiled mockingly. “If you don’t need me to do so, I won’t be bothering you anymore.”
“Qingfeng, let go of her and bring our people away.”
Qingfeng asked everyone from Youjia Village to follow. Only then did Gu Chilie realize that Bai Wutong did not hesitate to slap his face because she wanted to save these people and take him a notch down.
She was really too arrogant.
She had actually gone against him for a group of unrelated people.
Gu Chilie was about to explode from anger. However, Chu Tianbao was determined to protect her, so he could not do anything to her.
Bai Wutong got into the carriage, and Chu Tianbao followed. Just as Gu Chilie felt that his face was being trampled over, You Huaijie walked forward. “Marshal Gu, where are the people going to settle down tonight?”
Gu Chilie was only in charge of the army and not the commoners. “Wherever there is space!”
It was impossible to get a house with so many people.
Most of his own soldiers were still living in a large tent all lined up.
Gu Chilie asked You Huaijie for military rations again. “Where’s the military rations and salary from the Imperial Court?”
You Huaijie said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “It’s coming after us. According to my estimation, it should take another half a month.”
Half a month!
Gu Chilie and the other soldiers were about to starve to death.
He said angrily, “What are you doing! Do you know how long we’ve been hungry!” Then he grabbed You Huaijie’s collar. “If you can’t take out any food, I’ll kill you.”
As the governor of the southern frontier, You Huaijie was on the same rank as Gu Chilie, but his official position actually had much wider control than Gu Chilies, and he had more power.
You Huaijie lowered his eyes and said fearlessly, “Marshal Gu, this is the decision of the current emperor. The food and military salary are not something I can control.”
“Even if you kill me, I won’t be able to produce any extra food and military pay. ‘ Chu Shixiong, this bastard, was deliberately trying to starve them to death.
However, the most important thing was to resolve the urgent matter at hand.
Marshal Gu let go and looked at their team. He ordered, “How much food do you have left? Give it to us.”
The team only had a day’s worth of food left.
Moreover, they were leftovers from continuous replenishment and eating tapiocas on the way.
You Huaijie walked towards a carriage filled with goods and lifted the waterproof cloth on it. It was densely packed with tapiocas.
Marshal Gu’s eyes darkened. “You’re using this to fool me?”
You Huaijie said clearly, “After cooking with a special method, the tapioca is non-toxic and edible.’
Bai Wutong discussed with everyone about the tapiocas that the team had collected along the way. She specially saved some to support the soldiers for two days and even specially sent someone to buy food from the Syrians to tide the army over.
However, Gu Chilie and Gu Liancheng targeted Bai Wutong the moment they arrived. The entire team was unwilling to hand over the tapiocas to Marshal Gu.
However, the soldiers were innocent, so Bai Wutong still decided to give them the tapiocas.
Marshal Gu had cooked so many varieties of tapioca. How could he believe that the tapioca was not poisonous?
Just as he was about to ask You Huaijie what evidence he had to prove that the tapioca was not poisonous, Gu Liancheng grabbed Marshal Gu’s hand and pointed at the dozen or so carriages behind him, gesturing excitedly.
Gu Chilie was dragged to the carriages at the back. He lifted the waterproof cloth and saw a pile of exquisite food. Apart from food, there were also a rich variety of meat, fruits, and vegetables.
Gu Chilie immediately questioned angrily, “What is this? Didn’t you tell me that there was no food!”
You Huaijie said calmly, ‘This is the private property of the people of the team. I have no right to make any decisions.”
Gu Chilie became even angrier. ‘Whose private property is it? I’ll ask him now if he’s going to sell it.”
He was clearly trying to take it by force.
If Gu Chilie asked for it, which commoner would dare to refuse?
You Huaijie emphasized again, “The tapioca is edible. If the Marshal wants to take it away, take it away.”
Gu Liancheng gestured again and told Gu Chilie that You Huaijie did not want to give them the exquisite food and deliberately wanted them to eat tapiocas.
Gu Chilie did not believe that You Huaijie would do anything to poison the soldiers. After all, by causing the deaths of the soldiers, how could they defend the country that they had painstakingly conquered?
However, he was also very angry that You Huaijie was hiding the food. Gu Chilie pointed at the carriage and said, ‘Give me these food. You can keep the tapioca for yourselves.”
You Huaijie said firmly, “No, this is the private property of the commoners. I have no right. ‘
However, Gu Chilie was certain that he was pretending and shouted, “Then tell me, whose private property is it!’
He shouted so loudly that Bai Wutong naturally heard him.
Most of the exquisite food was prepared by Sheng Huaixuan, the 30 families of Qinghe, and themselves.
You Huaijie had already emphasized that there were tapiocas for them, but Gu Chilie insisted on snatching the private property of the people.
Did he think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he was Marshal Gu?
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes, clearly angry.
Chu Tianbao glanced at her and summoned the dark guard. He lowered his voice and said something before the dark guard quickly gave You Huaijie an order.
After the dark guard relayed the order, You Huaijie suddenly became domineering and told Gu Chilie coldly, “Marshal Gu doesn’t like the tapioca that we’ve worked so hard to collect, so think of a way yourself!”
“Inform the others that the team will continue to set off.”
Gu Chilie was about to lose his temper and send someone to snatch the food when Lu Ye said excitedly, “Marshal, the tapioca is really edible. Moreover, Lord You prepared two days’ worth for us and even sent someone to buy millet and sheep from the Syrians. As long as we hold on for half a month, the food transported by the Imperial Court will arrive.”
As soon as he said this, Gu Chilie’s bad temper was suppressed.
He said doubtfully, “Really?”
Lu Ye nodded profusely. “It’s true, Marshal. I’m fine after eating for two days.” Then he hurriedly said, “Miss and Young General have all eaten them. The entire team has been eating them for two days. ‘
“These tapiocas were dug up by the commoners and soldiers of the team.” His underlying meaning was that it was too unethical for Marshal Gu to snatch the food that people had brought themselves.
Lu Ye would not lie to him. Gu Chilie already believed him, but Gu Liancheng refused to let it go.
Why could she only eat tapioca while Bai Wutong could eat exquisite food?
No matter what, she had to be like Bai Wutong.
Marshal Gu thought for a moment. He had already wronged his daughter for so long. At most, he would spend money to buy some from them and give his daughter special treatment.
As a first-rank official, what was wrong with letting his daughter eat better?
Gu Chilie found You Huaijie again and said reluctantly, ‘Then give us the tapioca and a cart of exquisite food.”
You Huaijie did not even look at him. ‘We don’t have enough to eat either.
Marshal Gu, you should think of a way yourself.. ‘
