Chapter 254

The next morning.

Ruqi then delivered the knife with the name engraved into Li Yu's hands.

Lu Chi waited for a night, and when he saw four knives placed on the table, his eyes were so excited that he shone with excitement.

Li Yu took out the White Tiger Sword and pulled out a piece from the scabbard. He saw two words engraved in small seals: White Tiger.

Surprisingly, these two words turned out to be snow-white, which contrasted sharply with the black blade.

The small seal script is curved and the two words are connected together, just like a roaring white tiger.

I have to say that Li Yu likes each of these four knives made by Ruqi very much.

He pushed the knife into the sheath, handed it to Lu Chi, and said, "King, take the knife!"

Lu Chi walked towards Li Yu with one step. He wanted to grab it with a knife, but then he thought it was too rude.

He suppressed the impulse in his body, first bowed deeply to Li Yu respectfully, and then stretched out his hands and slowly held the White Tiger Sword in his palm.

He held the White Tiger Sword and couldn't let go. He stood here, giggling silly. It seemed that he was crazy.

Jin Chou was also jealous of Lu Chi's ability to obtain the White Tiger Sword.

He has never been very convinced of Lu Chi and wants to compete with him with another battle of force.

But now, Lu Chi has obtained the magic weapon that is as sharp as mud, and he is probably no longer able to compare with him.

Li Yu picked up another knife and pulled out a blade.

The above is still in small seal script, with the words "Surf Bird".

The small seal script is a more primitive pictographic character, and with the intention of the engraver, the two characters "Surpriser Bird" are like a phoenix flying with wings spreading.

Li Yu made a tsk sound in admiration. He even put the knife into the sheath, turned his head and said, "Golden Crow."

When he shouted for the first time, Jinwu was stunned when he looked at Lu Chi and did not react.

Li Yu frowned, increased the volume, and called again: "Golden Crow!"

Jinwu was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am here!"

Li Yu handed the Vermilion Bird sword in his hand to him and said, "The Vermilion Bird represents fire, and the Golden Crow represents sun. If you have a destiny to this sword, I will give it to you!"

When Jinwu heard this, he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

He widened his eyes and looked at Li Yu blankly.

Li Yuxiao asked, "What? You don't want it?"

The golden crow's lips flattened, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yu hurriedly said, "You are not going to cry again, are you just a knife. Don't cry in front of me, just like a little girl!"

Jinwu immediately defended: "I am not a little girl!"

"Of course!" Li Yu stood up, patted his shoulder hard, and smiled, "My golden crow is a soldier who can fight to kill the enemy and protect me!"

When Jinwu heard this, he couldn't help but whimper and said bitterly.

While wiping tears on his cuffs, he choked off and said, "Since... since I remembered it, only... His Highness treats me sincerely and is the best for me... Wooh..."

Although Lu Chi usually kills people like a cold-blooded murder machine, he can't compare to Jinwu if he is cruel.

The people Lu Chi killed were basically strong people, warriors, and people who could inspire his fighting spirit.

And the murder of Jinwu is not selective.

No matter whether the other party is a strong person or a weak person, no matter whether the other party is a man or a woman or a child, even a weak woman like Xi Yuan, he will shoot out the knife without hesitation and kill him without compassion.

However, the golden crow, who is extremely cruel to anyone, came to Li Yu and was as obedient as a kitten, of course there was a reason.

Li Yu never regarded him as a servant, but as a family member, as a friend and a partner.

Because he was castrated when he was young, the golden crow grew up was indeed different from that of normal people.

But he can tell whoever is sincerely good to him.

Li Yu had just obtained the four swords of Qinglong, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, and gave them two.

The Vermillion Bird Sword was given to the Golden Crow and the White Tiger Sword was given to Lu Chi.

He didn't plan to keep the remaining two knives by himself.

He planned to give the Qinglong Sword to his father, and as for the Xuanwu Sword, it could give it to the soldiers who have made great contributions.

Li Yu never attaches great importance to treasures and other things. Compared with treasures, he prefers real money.

In the afternoon, Li Yu found Zhang Hong and asked him to arrange personnel to send the batch of crossbows made by Luqi and other craftsmen, together with the crossbow arrows collected from the people, to the soldiers fighting in front of him.

Zhang Hong nodded immediately without saying a word.

Then, Zhang Hong cleared his throat again and said worriedly: "Your Highness, our soldiers have now reached 20,000. The military rations they have to consume every month are as much... as many as... at least nine thousand stones. The county government really can't take out so much food now!"

If you want to raise a military force of 20,000 people, it might be fine if you are a wealthy county.

Pyeongchang County is so poor that it is almost all the people in the county have moved. Where can there be so much food to support 20,000 people?

After hearing this, Li Yu sighed softly.

During his time being trapped in Mount Gabo, he consumed a lot of food in his space, and he didn't want to take out the remaining food easily.

However, 20,000 soldiers had to eat and drink every day, and consumed a lot. It would be impossible to have no food in the army.

The imperial court was fully supporting Li Hui's imperial commander in person, and had no time to take care of the Pyeongchang County.

The military ration problem can only be solved by themselves.

Li Yu said: "Premier Zhang!"

"I'm here!"

"Immediately, the provincial government will send a letter to the provincial government for help, and ask the provincial government to transport it over...50,000 stones of grain."

"Fifty thousand stones?"

Zhang Hong's eyes were as bright as a copper bell.

Even if the state capital is selling its products, it will not be able to make up 50,000 stones!

Li Yu thought about it and felt that 50,000 shi of grain would be too much.

He changed his words and said, "Thirty thousand stones are fine! At least twenty thousand stones are needed!"

Zhang Hong grinned secretly. He guessed that the state capital would not be able to afford even ten thousand stones of food.

Li Yu said: "Also, my fifteenth brother and sixteenth brother are going to send me a letter, asking the two brothers to reinforce the food."

Zhang Hong held his forehead.

King Xing and King Zheng have sent reinforcements of five thousand troops.

Now I ask for food from others. Your Highness, you want to fetch the wool, so it is hard to pick these two vassal kings and try hard, right?

Li Yu looked at Zhang Hong with a speechless look. He said helplessly: "There is no way! If the state capital cannot provide food, only the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers can help me!"

Zhang Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! Your Highness! I will write a letter now!"

"Well! Remember, be more polite and more sincere!"

"I understand."

Since Li Yu became King Sunu, the people of Pyeongchang County have been like the New Year.

In Pingchang City, every household is decorated with lights and colors.

People feel that their hard days are finally overwhelmed.

No need to worry about it in the future.

The people of Xiaoyang will never invade Zhou State again.

They can all live a peaceful life of living and working in peace.

Unfortunately, the people were all happy too early.

People were completely unaware that a huge disaster was quietly coming to their heads.
