The head of the Wang family, who was also standing behind the earthen wall, gave a thumbs up to the head of the Cui family.
Although there are a lot of food for five thousand people for half a month, for the two families of Cui Wang, who have been operating in Xiaosongji for many years, this amount of food is not impossible to produce.
For them, it is naturally unwilling to give so much food to outsiders in vain.
The weather has been bad in recent years, and grain prices have been rising, so I am even more reluctant to make food cheaper for outsiders.
"Our commander said that if we don't send out the food at the time, we will shell Xiao Songji." Commander Huang's personal soldiers said to the head of the Cui family on the earth wall.
The head of the Cui family frowned slightly and said, "Don't fire the fire. We will give you food, but you want too much food, and Xiao Songji can't take it out at all. Can you discuss it and give less food?"
"A quarter of an hour is coming soon. You will be on fire after a while. Don't say I didn't remind you." Commander Huang reminded him.
He knew in his heart that the real person who wanted food was the arch commander of the tiger flag, and their general was just the one who came forward.
The people in Xiao Songji did not give food. Based on his understanding of the official who was the tiger-shaped flag, the other party would definitely shell Xiao Songji.
The head of the Cui family failed to get the result he wanted, so he had to retract his body back behind the earthen wall, looked at the head of the Wang family under the table, and said, "You have heard the words of the thief outside, Brother Wang, what do you want to do next?"
"This!" The head of the Wang family showed hesitation.
Seeing this, the second son of the Cui family couldn't help but say, "Uncle Wang, don't think about it. It's about to arrive in a quarter of an hour. The bandits outside can really fire."
"Shut up and don't bother uncle." The eldest son of the Cui family scolded his second brother.
The second son of the Cui family glared at his brother and said in dissatisfaction: "What's the use of mumbling with me? If you have the ability, please let the thieves outside fire."
"What do you mean? I just told you not to disturb Uncle Wang's thinking. What does it have to do with the thief army whether they fire or not? Don't mess around here." The eldest son of the Cui family said with an unhappy look on his face.
The second son of the Cui family immediately retorted: "Who is messing around, I think you are just trying to find trouble on purpose."
The two sons of the Cui family started arguing behind the earthen wall.
This made the head of the Cui family look darker and darker.
"Shut up the two unscrupulous things." Finally, the head of the Cui family couldn't help but scold his two sons.
The eldest son of the Cui family and the second son of the Cui family closed their mouths awkwardly.
At this time, the Wang family’s president said: “There is not enough time. Even if we promise to give them food, it is too late. I think we should send someone out to meet the thief army first.”
"Who do you think will be better?" asked the head of the Cui family.
The Wang family's master looked at the two sons of the Cui family and said, "It is best for people who see the thief army to have some identities in Xiao Songji, and you and I need to stay and take charge."
He didn't say who to go, but his eyes revealed the candidate.
"Cui Guang, go." The head of the Cui family said to his second son.
Hearing this, the second son of the Cui family said with a ugly expression: "Dad, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and he should come forward with such a thing."
Outside Xiao Songji was a rebel from Kaifeng Prefecture City. He heard that the rebels killed people without blinking. He was a good second young master of the Cui family, so he was willing to take this risk.
"There is not so much nonsense. Just go if you want to go, go quickly." Seeing that his second son dared to refute him, the Cui family's face darkened, and as he said that, he was about to raise his hand to beat his son.
The eldest son will inherit the family business in the future, so he will naturally leave the dangerous things to his other sons.
Cui Guang knew that he would not go, and his face looked very ugly. He lowered his head and walked towards the west gate of the earthen castle.
"What are you doing? Go out from here." The head of the Cui family raised his hand and pointed to the earthen wall beside him.
The rebels were outside the Xiao Songji, and he didn't want to open the Ximen of Xiao Songji, but the rebels took advantage of the situation and rushed into the Xiao Songji.
Cui Guang had no choice but to step on the table and climb over the Paradise Wall, then jumped to the ground outside.
The earthen wall was not high, and after jumping down, he just sat on the ground. He was not injured except for a little butt.
"I went to the rebels and found a way to meet Commander Huang from Xuanwuwei to see if I could let Xiao Songji spend less food." The head of the Cui family reminded Cui Guang who came outside.
Cui Guang looked up at his father on the earth wall and said, "What if the rebels want so much food if they bite them to death?"
"How come I gave birth to such a fool like you? You won't think of it yourself. I will teach you such a small matter step by step!" The head of the Cui family said with an unhappy look on his face to his son.
At this time, the head of the Wang family said, "Brother Cui, let alone the second young master. I think I agreed to the rebels' request and just let the second young master talk to the rebels and give us some time to collect grain."
"It makes Brother Wang laugh." The head of the Cui family said to the head of the Wang family with a shame, and then said to the second son outside, "When you see the rebels, tell them that Xiao Songji agreed to their conditions, but preparing food will take time. Let the rebels wait for a while longer."
"I've written it down." The second son of the Cui family turned around and ran towards Commander Huang's personal soldiers.
He didn't know how many quarter-hours the rebels gave, but he knew that the sooner he met the person who could make decisions, the better, so that he could stop the rebels from shelling Xiao Songji.
The personal soldiers left by Commander Huang were not far from the earthen castle that Xiao Songji had.
Cui Guang soon came to the personal soldier and said breathlessly: "We agreed to food, but you will give us time to raise food."
"It's been so easy to save time, you're here to wait." As he said that, Commander Huang's personal soldiers turned their horses and were about to go back to deliver the letter.
Cui Guang hurriedly stopped the horse and said, "Can you take me with you?"
"Wait here. If the general sees you, he will naturally take you there." After saying that, Commander Huang led his personal soldiers to ride horses and pass by the other party.
Cui Guang hesitated for a moment.
He asked him to go to the rebel army alone, but he didn't dare to stay alone and wait for news from the other party.
"It's really useless waste. I can't do any small things well." The head of the Cui family on the earth wall naturally saw his second son standing in place like a fool.
I feel more and more that my second son can only play with guns and sticks.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" The head of the Wang family under the earthen wall could not see the situation outside Xiao Songji and asked with a worried look on his face.
The head of the Cui family lowered his head and said to the Wang family's master under the table: "You are incompetent. We both probably have to take out a lot of food and hand it over to the thief army outside Xiao Songji."
"Although there is a lot of food, we can still get all the food together. In this way, I will ask someone to go back and prepare." After saying to the head of the Cui family, the master turned around and explained a few words to the Wang family slaves who were following him.
The Wang family slave turned around and left.
The head of the Cui family said to his eldest son: "You go home and take people to prepare food."
The eldest son of the Cui family also left.
