Chapter 183: Chapter 183: How come it’s you? Where is Xiang Ying?
The chaos had already engulfed the Sixth Prince’s camp.
Upon learning that the stolen items had been taken yet again, in addition to earlier lost weapons, he had executed the Staff responsible on the spot.
He even thundered in the main tent: “How could the grain and fodder that had just been transported from the granary yesterday have disappeared overnight?”
Everyone questioned by him, including the strategist and others, trembled with fear, kneeling down: “Your Highness, please calm your anger. We don’t know what happened either!”
“Ever since the grainery was burglarized last time, I have commanded the men to strengthen patrols and defenses, rotating every half an hour. There are always people on guard outside the granary. How could someone take away so much grain so suddenly without anyone noticing?”
While speaking, the strategist’s eyes flickered with panic.
He quickly stood up: “Your Highness, could it be that we’ve angered some divine power?”
Referring to the previous night, when a lake dried into a shallow shoal in a single night, he couldn’t think of any other possibility besides the work of spirits or ghosts with such power.
The look on the Sixth Prince’s face became overcast: “This Prince does not wish to know whether it was done by humans or ghosts. I only know that if such an incident happens again, none of you will keep your heads!”
His words caused a change in the expressions of everyone present.
The Sixth Prince pointed at the strategist: “Tell Lu Hong, I want to see Xiang Ying. Even without the lake, this meal must still be had.”
The strategist hesitated to speak.
The Sixth Prince shook his folding fan impatiently: “Spit it out if you’ve got something to say!”
The strategist bowed: “Your Highness, we have no more grain. The grain in Governor Lu’s Mansion has also been depleted…”
And they still expected to dine like this? Finding food was already a problem for them now.
What do you think?
