Chapter 532 The Big Thief
"What?" When Lao Xie heard this, he immediately shouted: "You **** from the imperial capital, not only did you not give us food, but you also ate and drank for free for so many days. In the end, you finally got out, but Are you still asking for something from us? Damn it, how can anything be so cheap in the world?”
"That's right!" When the people around heard what Lao Xie said, they also cursed loudly: "They embezzled our supplies, came here to eat and drink, and finally wanted to take it away? Damn it, you all What kind of thing is this? ”
"You~" Cassia's face turned green after being scolded, but he couldn't refute it at all. After all, what they said was the truth. Of course he knew about the kingdom's failure to distribute supplies, and he even felt somewhat responsible. Because he was the chief of the military department after all. He knew that the support was being withheld but did not interfere. This was a dereliction of duty in itself. So strictly speaking, Lao Xie scolding him is not wrong.
But Cassia's men were all filled with indignation and waved their fists, wanting to take action. However, their weapons have been confiscated, and their fists alone cannot scare anyone.
After being scolded, Perfect Sword Master Cassia knew that he was wrong and didn't bother to argue. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said directly to Lao Xie: "That's fine, I don't want supplies, but please return the war horses and weapons to us."
"No!" Lao Xie said directly: "Just think of it as your food expenses these days!"
The Perfect Sword Master Cassia was immediately furious after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but yelled, "Little Stephen, don't go too far!"
"What's wrong with me?" Lao Xie said disdainfully: "I left these weapons to use in the battle with the Burning Legion! But what about you? What's the point of taking them back? Tell me and I'll listen. Listen?"
"You~" Perfect Sword Master Cassia was speechless. Indeed, the current army needs weapons and horses more than they do. In the hands of the army, they can be used to fight the Burning Legion, but for Cassia They take it. At most, it is used to show off one's strength.
If the supplies are usually sufficient, Lao Xie's approach is obviously excessive. But it's different now. Who told those people to withhold the supplies of the army? In the case of extreme shortage of supplies, of course these things should be used for serious things. Even Cassia didn't have the shame to say that she wanted to go back. Moreover, he also knew that since Lao Xie had said that he would not give it, no matter how much he made a fuss, it would be useless. After all, this was their territory and he could not defeat them. What else can be done?
So in desperation, the Perfect Sword Master Cassia could only hide his feet bitterly, and then walked out with the people.
The poor swordsman of this generation was forced out of the military camp naked by Lao Xie, forcing them to sleep in the open air along the way. Fortunately, they all had a chance to avoid starving to death, after all their efforts. Finally returned to the Griffin Kingdom.
When they entered the border and saw their own people, they all looked like beggars. His clothes were torn into strips, his body was covered in mud, and he was thin and dirty. They are simply a group of refugees! Not to mention how pitiful it is. So much so that the troops on the border didn't recognize who they were. Fortunately, Cassia learned her lesson this time and carried the emperor's personal order from Catherine with her. Only then did she prove her identity and receive rescue.
Let’s talk about driving away the perfect sword master Cassia. Lao Xie, who was in a great mood, came to see Catherine again. However, at this time, Catherine had already held a meeting with the generals who came after hearing the news. Lao Xie was naturally annoyed to death by such tedious things, so he simply found an excuse to escape. But for this obviously irresponsible approach, both Catherine and the generals gave their support without exception. The reason is very simple. The old evil excuse is too tempting. It made them all want to drive Lao Xie away. And this excuse is to prepare supplies!
You know, what Lao Xie got last time was not enough to sustain the consumption of a hundred thousand troops for a long time. But obviously, the army still needs to be stationed here for a long time, so the supply problem is imminent.
After Lao Xie volunteered to take over the task, he returned to the Magic Tower again. That night, the military supplies warehouse in the imperial capital was stolen again. A large amount of supplies disappeared out of thin air. Warehouse managers are in a hurry. I almost want to hang myself! You know, we just lost a batch of supplies last time. They spent all their efforts to fill the gap without being noticed, and avoided a serious crime of beheading.
But now it's good, so many supplies have been lost again. Now, just relying on ordinary scheduling, it may be difficult to ensure that the secret is not exposed. But no matter what, even if they were thinking about their own heads, they could only hide the matter and then rack their brains to make up for this loophole again.
At the same time, they also deployed additional manpower to ensure that it would not be stolen again. But they were soon disappointed. This time the thieves seemed to be confronting them. They came every night and several warehouses were empty every time.
No matter how the warehouse managers mobilized the guard troops, they just couldn't guard against him. Even if the guards were photographed inside the warehouse and asked to keep an eye on the supplies, it would be of no use at all. The next day the supplies were guaranteed to disappear, and the guards lay on the ground sleeping. You know, LSD No. 4 is very powerful in a sealed warehouse, and it is guaranteed to make them sleep for at least a day!
Lao Xie's crazy theft lasted for many days before it ended. The reason why he stopped was not because his conscience was vented, but because the warehouses in the imperial capital were almost empty, and the rest were messy old goods that Lao Xie didn't even bother to ask for.
In fact, the supplies at this time are almost enough, and at least a hundred thousand troops can be fed for a year without any problem. In addition to food, there are also large quantities of military uniforms, medicines, tents, various weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and even giant crossbows for defending the city. In short, except for cash, almost everything that can be used goes by. So much so that the warehouses prepared by Catherine were full, forcing her to temporarily ask people to build a large number of new warehouses.
Originally, Lao Xie thought that he had almost taken away 70% of the supplies in the Imperial Military Headquarters warehouse, and those guys should have exposed their secrets, but unexpectedly, after waiting for several days, there was still no movement. This made Lao Xie extremely strange. You know, there are 100,000 permanent troops surrounding the imperial capital, and all daily consumption comes from this warehouse. The army guarding the imperial capital was naturally not an ordinary army. Every one of them was extremely arrogant. If they were given dilapidated supplies and moldy grain and grass, they would have to smash the warehouse. But several days have passed since the incident, and there is still no movement at the warehouse. This is really strange.
Puzzled, Lao Xie simply took the list of supplies that Catherine gave him and pretended to run to the warehouse to ask for supplies. In the past, he knew that it was impossible to ask for anything, so he didn't bother to go. But now in order to test their authenticity and to cover up my identity as a thief, I came to the door.
The result was as expected by Lao Xie. Although the warehouse officials were very polite to him, they still firmly refused to distribute the supplies, saying that they needed the signature of a certain military director.
Lao Xie wanted to make the matter bigger, so he directly threatened: "I will not find that kind of **** petty official. If you don't give me anything, I will go directly to the military commander!" The military commander is San The Great Sword Master, also known as the Three Giants of the Military Department.
But to Lao Xie's surprise, the other party seemed to be confident and said directly, "Even the signature of the military commander is not enough! We only recognize the signature of the chief officer!"
Lao Xie knew that in fact they did not only recognize the chief officer, but the third prince behind the chief officer. So he didn't bother to talk nonsense with them and sneered directly: "We'll see!" After saying that, Lao Xie turned around and left.
Of course he would not give up, so he immediately approached the military department. As Lao Xie, meeting the three giants is naturally a matter of words. In fact, he still has a lot of face in the military department. Whether it was the Heavy Armor Sword Master or the Gale Sword Master, as soon as they heard that he wanted to meet, they immediately put down their work and met Lao Xie together in a living room.
Lao Xie and them were all old acquaintances, and the three of them showed no restraint after meeting and laughed a few times. Lao Xie directly took out the list given by Catherine, threw it on the table, and then said in a weird voice: "I said, the two giants of the military department, are the soldiers on the front line drinking from the northwest wind? How much are these supplies? Don’t give it?”
"What? It's been so long and they haven't distributed it at all?" Gale Sword Master said a little strangely.
"Nonsense, as long as I give you a little bit, I won't go directly to you two military commanders!" Lao Xie said angrily: "These **** are sincerely starving an army of 100,000 to death!"
"Damn thing!" The hot-tempered heavy-armored swordsman immediately stood up with a roar and said angrily: "I'll go ask you!" After saying that, he walked out, obviously looking for the three men. The prince's confidant officer has gone.
When the Gale Sword Master saw this, he frowned slightly and moved his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything to stop him. He just smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, you kid is obviously here to cause trouble for us!"
"Hey, that's about it!" Lao Xie shrugged and said, "But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the people on the front line have to eat! Who do you call the military commanders? Who am I to look for if I don't look for you?"
"Alas!" Gale Wind Sword Master shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Although we are unwilling to interfere with the third prince's affairs, what he did this time went too far. We can't say it, so we can only stand in front. ! But~"
"But what?" Lao Xie asked with a smile.
"After all, we are doing right by your boy for his sake. You must remember this!" Swift Wind Sword Master rolled his eyes at Lao Xie and said.
"Nonsense, you are clearly doing this for the 100,000 soldiers on the front line! This is official business and has nothing to do with me personally!" Lao Xie immediately shouted: "Don't even think about asking me to owe you any favors!"
