Chapter 137: The Army Wants Crossbows(1/2)

"I wonder how many pounds the general needs to buy?"

Yi Mingxue looked at the young general who was taking the lead, neither humble nor overbearing.

In terms of momentum, he is not inferior to professional soldiers at all.

The two faced off for a long time.

In the end, it was the young general who took the lead to look away.

His eyes swept across the green melon patch in front of him.

I secretly called myself strange in my heart.

He originally thought that the melons he ate at Chunyun Tower that day were imported from foreign lands.

I found out after asking around.

It was actually grown by the nearby villagers themselves.

Although he doesn't know much about grains.

But such an unusual thing as growing a big watermelon in winter is indeed quite rare.

I originally thought it was a stunt done by some opportunistic and unscrupulous people.

Unexpectedly, it is true!

Moreover, the owner of these melons is a young country woman.

Oh, right.

She is still a woman who is not very big but very courageous.

"This general wants all your sweet potatoes."

The young general raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed at the large watermelon field in front of him.

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath.

There is at least a thousand kilograms in this field.

If sold, it would be worth eighty taels of silver.

Eighty taels! That's a huge sum of money that many rural farmers can't even dream of.

Are you going to be forcibly plundered by these ruffians?

Li Cong was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together.

But Yi Mingxue opened her mouth and said.

"There are still a thousand kilograms of melons left in the field, but I have to leave two hundred kilograms for Chunyun Tower. If the general wants them all, he should be able to have about eight hundred kilograms."

"What? Just eight hundred pounds?"

In the team, a sergeant at the front couldn't help but say.

"We have tens of thousands of troops stationed. One thousand kilograms is not enough. You have to lose two hundred kilograms. No! You can't lose even one kilogram. We have to take away all these melons."

Yi Mingxue glanced at the man, turned around and continued to talk to the leader.

"I'm really sorry, General. I have a contract with Chunyun Tower, and I must keep these two hundred kilograms of melons."

The young general never spoke.

Only the riding crop that was flapping regularly in his hand vaguely revealed some thoughts.

"Eight hundred kilograms is indeed too little. The contract between you and Chunyun Tower is at my discretion, so let it be voided!"

Yi Mingxue also lost her temper now.

What's going on with these people? Can't they understand what they are saying?

Immediately he spoke less politely than before.

"General, I only have these eight hundred kilograms of melons here. If you want them, just pay for them; if you don't want them, I won't send them far away."

After that, he made a gesture of invitation.

"Bold! Do you know who our general is? How dare you be so rude!" a sergeant behind him shouted.

And at the moment he spoke, someone made a whoosh sound and pulled out the saber he was carrying.

At this point, the situation immediately became tense.

The villagers of Dahe Village feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.

Yi Tianlei didn't know when he had taken out his small crossbow.

Aimed at the soldier holding the sword.

"What do you want to do in broad daylight?! Steal melons?"

Yi Changle stood next to him. Although he was scared, he still spoke boldly.

"We are all registered good citizens. Is it possible that you still want to kill and rob? Then why do you want to be soldiers? You can just go up to the mountains and become bandits and robbers!"

The little girl's voice was clear and clear to everyone present.

The soldier's face was a little confused for a moment when he was spoken to like this by a girl.

"How dare you, such a sharp-tongued little girl, compare your grandpa, an official, with a bandit."

As he said that, the man wanted to come forward and teach Yi Changle a lesson.

Yi Tianlei was standing next to Yi Changle.

Seeing this, without hesitation, the bladed sleeve arrow in his hand shot out with a whoosh.

Then the soldier was heard screaming.

The sleeve arrow hit his right foot.

The leather-like military boots actually dug into his leg flesh.

The accident happened too quickly.

When a colleague was attacked, the whole team of soldiers immediately drew their sabers.

The people in Dahe Village were not slow to react either.

In an instant, he also raised the hoe, shovel and sickle he originally used for farming.

Yi Mingxue pushed her younger siblings behind her to protect them.

He said to the young general who was taking the lead with a stern expression.

"General, the child guardian sister is caring and does not mean to hurt anyone."

However, even though she said this, the black iron blade in her hand was also unsheathed.

Although it is not a wise move to make enemies of people in the army.

But she couldn't just let others control her without resisting.

She was confident that she could handle the dozen or so people in front of her.

It’s just that the aftermath will be more troublesome.

The lightning room.

She has already sorted out several aftermath plans in her mind.

He even made the worst possible escape plan.

Fortunately, the leading young general is not too confused.

They join the army to protect their homeland and country.

For a few hundred kilograms of watermelon, he fought with his own country's soldiers.

If this matter is to be spread, how will he return to the capital in the future, and how will he behave in front of his father and brother.

He glanced at the injured soldier with a dark face.

Cursed, "You are a mighty soldier of the Tiger Army, but you were injured by a child. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I would kill myself right now, but you still have the nerve to draw your sword!"

"General...I..." The soldier was also very upset.

He originally thought it was just a small toy made by a child.

Little did he know that the crossbow in this boy's hand was so fast and its lethality was quite high.

Regarding this, the young general who took the lead naturally discovered it.

He jumped off the horse out of curiosity.

He stretched out his hand to Yi Tianlei and said, "Boy, can you lend me your crossbow?"

Yi Tianlei didn't know what the other party meant, so he could only turn to look at the eldest sister Yi Mingxue on the side.

Yi Mingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, then nodded.

The young general took the crossbow and flipped it twice.
