Chapter 141 His Strength

"It seems to have run a little far."

Xiao Xuan finally stopped his horse, he said while looking at this deserted forest.

"Do you remember the direction we came from?"

Yin Miao looked around, she couldn't tell which direction she was going to go next.

If you go in the wrong direction, you are in trouble.

Xiao Xuan shook his head, but he didn't seem in a hurry.

"Just now those refugees have been led away. Uncle and the others should have escaped. We just need to come out and find them to meet."

Xiao Xuan said.

When talking about those refugees, Yin Miao couldn't help but have a headache. Those people were like zombies that couldn't be beaten to death, but the problem was that they couldn't kill for a little food.

"Fortunately, there are food to throw to them, otherwise I didn't know how to get out just now."

Yin Miao did not feel bad for what she had just thrown away. People lose their nature in the face of hunger, which is probably part of human nature.

"My people should be here too. Uncle and the others will have someone to protect them."

Xiao Xuan comforted Yin Miao when he saw that Yin Miao was still a little worried.

After the two walked with the horses in the woods for a while, Yin Miao already felt hungry. Behind a pile of dead trees, Yin Miao simply brought Xiao Xuan and the two horses into the space.

In the space, there are roast chicken and pancakes she made before, as well as roasted taro and other foods. Yin Miao cut the roast chicken into pieces, and added some lettuce leaves and cucumber segments on the pancake to make a simple chicken roll. It worked.

"Taste."

Xiao Xuan looked at the burrito handed in front of him, then took a bite.

"A Miao's craftsmanship is good."

Xiao Xuan praised.

"It's okay to eat, it would be better if there is sauce."

Yin Miao also rolled one for herself. Fortunately, she made some food and put it here, otherwise she would have to eat the vegetables in the vegetable field now.

Seeing that the two horses were still grazing in the pasture, the two went to the vegetable field to dig some vegetables such as potatoes and carrots together after they finished eating, including rice and sorghum were also packed in small cloth bags.

"More food."

Xiao Xuan found that the three piles of grain stacked on the open space were a little higher.

"Well, do you want it?"

Yin Miao asked, they couldn't finish it.

"Yes, but it's fine to keep it here for the time being, and I'll find more jade to come back."

Xiao Xuan intends to continue to help Yin Miao upgrade the space.

"What if the grain matures too quickly and can't be eaten in the future?"

Yin Miao asked worriedly.

"I won't be able to finish it all. Even in the most prosperous period of Nanxiao's national strength, military salaries and granaries are still very insufficient."

Xiao Xuan said, this is also a major reason why the famine came.

The court of Nanxiao Kingdom even sent food to Beirou Kingdom.

Military pay?

Yin Miao thought after hearing this, she never thought that the food in her space could be used for military salaries.

If that's the case, there's no need to worry about it, but...Xiao Xuan, since he mentioned the army's salary, does he want to support the army and become the king?

Yin Miao, who was thinking so, asked the same question, Xiao Xuan shook his head after hearing this, he looked at the pasture in the distance and said, "Most of Nanxiao's troops are already in my hands, including mobilization. Tiger talisman of military strength."

"Tiger talisman? Then why didn't the emperor want to take you back?"

Yin Miao was puzzled.

"Yeah, why didn't he think of a solution?" Xiao Xuan's eyes became cold.

"Without the tiger talisman, wouldn't the court be afraid?" Yin Miao asked again.

"The tiger talisman is just an item. Even if the emperor does not have the tiger talisman, he can mobilize his troops, but the name is not right."

Xiao Xuan replied.

"...So you doubt the emperor?"

Yin Miao heard a bit of meaning, she was wondering whether to remind Xiao Xuan to pay attention to Queen Qi Lingxi, but she held back.

She and Qi Lingxi have no intersection.

However, Xiao Xuan did not answer, he only said: "I once promised that the emperor would fight for him, and when he is settled, I will build a boat for me, and I will go to see the great rivers and mountains of Nanxiao for him. It seems that I am self-indulgent."

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you."

Yin Miao said immediately.

"A Miao thinks so? But don't worry, let's just watch it slowly."

Xiao Xuan finished speaking, took out a black object from his body and placed it on the stone table.

"Is this a tiger talisman?"

Yin Miao saw the legendary tiger talisman for the first time, with gilded characters on a black background. This thing looks a bit tall.

"Well, put it here with A Miao, even if someone steals it, you don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Xuan said.

"It's really safe to put it in the space, you're not afraid of me taking it?"

Yin Miao did not expect him to be so relieved.

"Don't be afraid, A Miao will not betray me."

Xiao Xuan laughed.

"Why?"

Yin Miao counted, she and Xiao Xuan had only known each other for a few months, and it seemed that they had never had a life-long friendship. Even if Xiao Xuan once expressed a good impression of herself, she did not do anything to show it.

"Because of... intuition."

Xiao Xuan replied.

Well, Yin Miao felt lonely.

But she really couldn't betray him.

After eating and drinking in the space, the two and two horses appeared behind the dead tree again. There was still no one around. Yin Miao wanted to try to ride a horse again, but was stopped by Xiao Xuan.

"We ride a horse together, A Miao can't ride a horse."

Xiao Xuan said, picked up Yin Miao and mounted the horse.

"Looks like I have time to learn to ride a horse."

Yin Miao said.

"A Miao is this shy?"

Xiao Xuan's breath came from behind, which made Yin Miao feel itchy neck, but it was impossible for her to admit that she was shy.

She wants to ride a horse, because this horse can be regarded as the only means of transportation on ancient roads.

…

The two finally walked out of the woods before noon, and Yin Miao noticed that there were two people lying near the place where they were besieged by the refugees.

After they walked in, they found that they were two refugees they did not recognize, and they had a pool of red blood under them, and they looked like they had been dead for a while.

"They killed each other for robbing things."

Xiao Xuan just took a look and concluded.

"Let's go."

Yin Miao stopped looking at those two people. What they robbed was probably the food she left behind.

Xiao Xuan successfully found the marks left by Li Tianyang and the others, and successfully brought Yin Miao to join the village team in the afternoon.

"Miao'er! Are you alright?"

Yin Zhenghong first saw the two who came back, and after seeing the appearance of the two, he was relieved.

It looks like neither of them was hurt.

But when Yin Miao looked at the villagers and their family, she found that many of them were injured lightly or severely.

Among them, Luo Suying's injury seems to be the most serious. Her face has been swollen from being beaten, and blood is oozing from her eye sockets. She is lying on the ground receiving Su Wanfeng's treatment.
