Chapter 109 1 Alpacas
When Liang Rong heard that pork was to be distributed to the townspeople, and that it was to be distributed according to the number of people, he was shocked.
His eyes widened instantly, like copper bells, and he involuntarily swallowed.
He thought to himself: If I could just line up and be a regular citizen, I could get a delicious serving of pork!
Even though he was a high-ranking general, he couldn't even get a bite of meat at this moment. He was practically starving to death; where would he find any extra grain to feed the pigs?
Su Yue had finished speaking quite a while ago, but when she turned her head, she found that Liang Rong was still standing there blankly without moving.
So Su Yue couldn't help but ask, "General Liang, is there anything else you need?"
Su Yue's question brought Liang Rong back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He first nodded subconsciously and responded with an "Mm," then seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Oh! No, it's nothing, I'll go and arrange the relevant matters right away."
After saying that, Liang Rong bowed respectfully to Su Yue, then hurriedly turned and ran out.
However, not long after, he returned as quickly as a gust of wind.
Seeing Liang Rong's flustered and hurried appearance, Su Yue was filled with doubt and confusion.
What's wrong with this usually imposing and composed general today?
Why are you so out of control? You're not at all as composed as you usually are.
"General Liang, just say what you need!"
Liang Rong also knew that Su Yue wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her for nothing. If she had such thoughts, she should see if she was tough enough.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke up: "Immortal Envoy, do you have any extra pork? I won't take it for free; I'll exchange it for something. It's a festival today, and I'd like to give the soldiers a good meal to celebrate the New Year."
Su Yue glanced at Liang Rong casually, feeling a little surprised.
She truly hadn't expected that this man, who usually seemed so rough and careless, would have such a delicate side, actually thinking of asking his soldiers for meat.
She was initially wondering what kind of big deal it could be!
However, since it was a festive day, she was in a particularly good mood and didn't take this little thing to heart.
Besides, yesterday Liang Rong sent me a whole bag of dazzling gold, silver, jade, and agate jewelry, which was truly worth a fortune!
Touched by his sincerity, Su Yue generously decided to grant his request.
So, she parted her lips slightly and said, "Alright, then I'll give you fifteen pigs."
Having said that, he walked gracefully towards the door.
With a wave of her hand, Su Yueyu conjured seventeen large, fat pigs that appeared before everyone's eyes.
However, the pigs' legs had all been neatly cut off. Seeing this, Liang Rong's nephew behind him was stunned, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
Liang Rong himself was also stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your generous help, Immortal Envoy!"
Then, Su Yue added, "Have your men clean two of the pigs first, and then distribute them to the townspeople so they can have meat to eat during the New Year."
Upon hearing this, Liang Rong nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned to his nephew, who was still in a state of shock, and roared, "Liang Ping, hurry up and get some men to clean up this pork! If you delay the time, watch out for your dog's head!" After saying that, he kicked Liang Ping in the buttocks.
Speaking of Liang Ping, despite his shrewd appearance, he's actually a complete idiot.
Faced with the sudden appearance of so many pigs, they were already in a panic, not even needing Liang Rong's orders.
He stood there, bewildered. Seeing this, Liang Rong shook his head in exasperation, wondering who this guy took after.
How could you be so spineless!
In front of Su Yue, even the usually imposing Liang Rong had to restrain his sharpness and deal with her cautiously, for fear of offending this young lady in the slightest.
Liang Ping, who had been kicked far away, sped off like an arrow, his speed astonishing.
Not long after, he returned, panting, with thirty or forty people.
The soldiers who rushed over were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg in them.
Back then, the reason they chose to join the army was simply because their families were so poor they couldn't afford to eat.
I heard that as long as you join the army, you can not only fill your stomach, but also have the opportunity to taste delicious meat.
So, filled with the beautiful dream of eating their fill every day and drinking heartily, they resolutely stepped into the barracks.
However, reality poured a bucket of cold water on their heads.
The idea of eating one's fill at every meal and indulging in meat and alcohol is just a figment of their imagination. Nowadays, even filling one's stomach has become a serious problem, let alone eating meat.
That's simply wishful thinking!
At that moment, when they suddenly saw the mountain of fresh pork in front of them, everyone's eyes instantly lit up with greed, as if hungry wolves had spotted a plump lamb.
Some soldiers with weaker willpower even drooled uncontrollably.
They hastily wiped their mouths with their sleeves, but their drooling mouths flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable.
"My God! This is all meat!" someone exclaimed in surprise, their voice trembling with excitement.
The pork was as white as snow, and seemed to exude an enticing aroma. Just thinking about making it into glistening braised pork made everyone's mouths water.
At this moment, Liang Rong stood awkwardly beside Su Yue, looking at this group of soldiers who had no regard for their image.
He felt like a million grass mud horses were running through his mind; he wished he could rush up and smash these guys' heads open to bring them to their senses.
His disgraceful appearance has completely humiliated him!
Now look what's happened! All the hard-earned reputation I've built up is about to be completely ruined by these gluttons.
Liang Rong felt utterly ashamed and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and stuff all these embarrassing guys inside.
Liang Rong roared angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Get to work! Don't you all want some meat?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were taken aback at first, then they realized what was happening.
One of the soldiers, who seemed quite clever, quickly said with a smile, "Oh, General, please calm down. We'll get to work right away, hehe."
After saying that, he quickly reached out and grabbed his companion, and together they bowed to Su Yue who was standing to the side. Then, he quickly turned around, picked up the pork on the ground, and ran away.
They moved with lightning speed, as if afraid of being punished by Liang Rong if they were too slow.
