The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 891

[Chapter 891 Questioning]

After hearing these questions, the centurion didn’t know how to answer for a while, but just asked: “Who set the fire?”

The woman saw the centurion’s expression clearly through the light of the fire, and seemed to understand. What was going on, he didn’t continue to ask.

He just replied: “I don’t know, the fire suddenly started. Who knows who set it off!”

When the centurion heard this, he took a deep breath and looked around.

But no movement could be seen.

He had no choice but to wave his hand and said, “Go!”

Then the woman carried the bucket and went to put out the fire.

The weather is dry, especially in autumn and winter.

A fire almost destroyed half of the begging department.

In particular, most of the tents used by the Qiyan tribe to store food were burned down.

Qi Yanxiong stood on the ruins, his face turned very ugly.

No one understands better than him.

What does it mean to be without food?

I’m afraid I won’t be able to get through this winter just relying on the food stored in the Begging Department!

However, besides storing food, what else can be done?

In the past, they could go south and enjoy the autumn breeze in the four northern states.

But now, the situation is different.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way left, and that is to rob other tribes.

The newly formed alliance has not been more than a month old.

They will turn against each other and rob each other. This is not what Qi Yanxiong wants to see.

However, now, it seems that this is the only way left. The most important thing is that this way may not be feasible.

You know, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

Now that the Qiyan Department only has this little food and grass left, whether it can supply war horses is still a question.

Coupled with this southern expedition and the various natural punishments encountered on the return journey, the Qiyan tribe’s 20,000-strong army had been reduced to half at this moment.

An army of ten thousand is enough to plunder some small and medium-sized tribes.

However, the food of those tribes is completely insufficient to support the needs of the Qiyan tribe.

If it is a large tribe like the Zalu tribe, whether it can defeat it is still a big question.

The most important thing is that there are more wolves than meat. Everyone knows this truth.

Once the Qiyan tribe launched a plunder against other tribes.

Other tribes will definitely unite.

Even large tribes such as the Zaru tribe will take advantage of the situation and sneak in.

Then, from now on, the Qiyan Department will no longer exist.

Qi Yanxiong stood there, looking at the scorched earth, speechless for a long time.

The generals next to him were all standing, not saying a word, and with various expressions.

There was anger, unwillingness, and confusion.

A year ago, the Qiyan Tribe could be called the most powerful tribe on the grassland.

A month ago, although the Qiyan tribe had declined a lot, it could still be regarded as one of the most powerful tribes and could still gain the respect of other tribes.

But

what about now?

In just one year, under the leadership of their emperor, what had become of the Qiyan Department?

I’m afraid that after some time, whether the begging department can continue to exist is still a question.

The generals were silent, but there was a scale in their hearts, and the scale gradually became biased.

The thoughts of these generals also gradually changed.

The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.

Especially in a place like the grassland, only strong people can lead the entire tribe.

A foolish person will only lead the tribe to destruction!

“Father”

When everyone was in a trance, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of them.

Begging for beauty!

“Your Highness the Princess!”

All the generals saluted.

Qi Yan Yanran walked up to Qi Yan Xiong and looked at him with a strange expression.

Qi Yanxiong also looked at him, with a faint smile finally showing on his face.

If it were said that among his children, apart from Qiyan Gong, there was someone who made him satisfied.

There is only one beggar Yanran.

Whether it is as an envoy to Da Chu, or as a captain of thousands, fighting with other tribes.

Or help him deal with some trivial matters of the tribe.

Qi Yan Yanran did everything perfectly, which saved him a lot of worry.

Of course, this time, Qiyan Yanran was sent to the vicinity of the Zalu tribe to pay close attention to the movements of the Zalu tribe.

If she was sent to stay in the Qiyan Department, I am afraid that the food and grass would not be set on fire by those Chu people.

Thinking of this, Qi Yanxiong couldn’t help feeling regretful, but the expression on his face did not show it. He just asked: “How is the situation with the Zalu tribe? Why are you back?”

Qi Yan Yanran looked at Qi Yan Xiong, He replied: “The 30,000 people from the Zaru tribe who went on an expedition all returned to the tribe and their daughters came back.”

At this point, he paused and seemed to hesitate.

After hesitating, he didn’t know what he thought of, and his expression became firm again.

“My daughter has something to discuss with her father when she comes back.”

Qi Yanxiong frowned slightly when he heard this.

Negotiate?

This word is not something that can be used casually.

Who in the entire begging department is qualified to discuss with him, the emperor?

Therefore, he expressed his dissatisfaction by saying nothing.

Seeing this scene, Qiyan Yanran seemed to have strengthened her thoughts and said: “Father, my daughter has seen a lot of things and understood a lot of things in the past six months in the Zalu tribe. In

just half a year, , the Zalu tribe’s army has grown from 20,000 to 50,000 now, with all weapons, armor, and food. Our Qiyan tribe could have 50,000 warriors a year ago, and we

could

call on 200,000 warriors to follow.

Now, there are less than 30,000 warriors left in this tribe, and in this southern expedition, there are even less than 20,000 people.

Why do you think this is because

other tribes do not obey our orders?

“

Qi Yanxiong’s face changed when he heard this.

The whole person looked very angry, and just as he was about to scold him, he saw Qiyan Yanran reaching out her hand to stop him.

“Father, please wait until I finish telling you that during the six months my daughter has been in the Zalu tribe, I have seen very clearly that the weapons and armor of the Zalu tribe are all obtained from other tribes.

But the armor and weapons of other tribes, It was obtained from the Great Chu Court.

The Great Chu Court never stopped sending armor and weapons to other tribes. When necessary, they would even provide food and grass

without asking for anything in return .

.

Therefore, do you know why so many tribes have emerged in just one year?

They have all received the favor of the Chu court. Do you think they will sincerely join you in the crusade against Chu

? He said that this time out of the city, the Zalu tribe had made preparations in advance. They just sent people and did not contribute any force.

My daughter also got the news. You, the warriors of the tribe, and the people of the Zalu tribe were able to lay siege to Qiuning Mansion. It took half a month

to capture it, but do you think it’s just because of Da Chu’s special weapons?”
