Chapter 187 187: Chaos in Xiaocheng (27) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
This night is destined to be restless.
The bearded man with a livid face listened to his subordinates report the losses caused by the fire. The supplies, food and grass were severely damaged, and there were almost no siege equipment left. Most of those things were made of wood, and once they caught fire, they could no longer be used.
In comparison, the casualties were not large.
More than 200 people died, more than 300 were burned, about 200 people were injured and disabled by being trampled by cattle and sheep, and nearly 100 tents were burned down by sparks from the sky.
The bearded man had a gloomy face: "Are you finished?"
The subordinate officer shivered from the ice in his words.
Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Reply, the report is over—"
After the words fell, the bearded man raised his hand angrily and threw the low table in front of him, his face trembled from too much force, his big copper bell eyes stared at the subordinate officer who didn't dare to breathe, and roared: "The report is over? People? Where did people go?"
Crackling and roaring ensemble.
The subordinate officer was sweating hotly on his forehead, and he dared not move.
The chilling atmosphere of the main account was extremely solemn.
"Humble job... humble job didn't stop them..."
The bearded man grabbed the object and threw it at the subordinate's forehead, scolding: "Bastard! How many of them are there? If you can't catch them, what do you need? In the center of the military camp, a group of gangsters not only come and go freely, but also let their **** come and go." Burn the luggage, throw it away without shame!"
The subordinate officials didn't even dare to dodge.
took this blow abruptly.
There was a loud bang that exploded in my ears.
Warm blood dripped from the forehead, mixed with sweat and plant ash, flowing down the forehead, part of it flowed down the cheek and into the chin, and the other part flowed into the corner of the eye. The subordinate officer blinked, not daring to raise his hand to wipe it off, letting the dirt run rampant in his eyeballs.
He pursed his lips and swallowed the words in his heart.
If you really care about responsibility, the general in front of you who openly fights fiercely with his concubine in the military camp, the battle is endless, and the noise is so loud that you can hear it from several nearby camps, he is not a good person.
When it comes to dereliction of duty, the big guys are pretty much the same.
Just as a subordinate, he can't complain and dare not speak his mind. There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly thought of someone.
"Humble, humble, really tried my best! It's just that two of the four villains were brought in by the name of the major general, and the humble would not dare to arrest people with dead hands, in case the major general..."
The subordinate officer paused at this point, showing a bit of distress, "It's not that I'm afraid of the major general, but I'm just worried that this matter will affect your relationship with the major general, and the old general..."
Just tell the bearded man clearly—
It's not my negligence! Those villains were brought back by the barbarian, who had bad intentions. He will come to liquidate later, how can I bear it? Coupled with your eccentricity, even if the barbarian made such a big mistake, he would probably handle it lightly.
Barbarian should be blamed this time!
The bearded man was already gambled in his heart, but when he heard the yin and yang words of the subordinate, he almost fell down in anger.
He was so angry that he crushed the paperweight at hand, his back molars creaked, and asked, "Where is that **** now?"
It belongs to the official way: "Healing the wound with medicine."
The bearded man sneered twice, and said, "Healing? Medication? Will he get hurt again? I'm afraid it's a trick!"
Who is it for?
It’s not that old thing with a clear mind!
Huo Di got up and strode towards the youth camp.
He wants to see how the barbarian can be hurt!
Youth did get hurt.
The injury is not light.
Shen Tang's words turned black and white culture into fireworks, and most of them fell on the young man. It was also the first time for the young man to see this scene. He had no experience and relied entirely on his own strength.
Pick up, shoot down, and shatter the sparks that keep coming, and the sparks that are not taken into account will condense into a gang, and carry them down abruptly!
Although Wu Qi can resist the sparks close to the body, and to a certain extent, it can also prevent the cold and heat from invading, but it cannot completely isolate the frightening heat. This is also the main reason for youth injuries—the temperature of the sparks condensed by Wen Qi is frighteningly high. He is baked.
Although the young man was not cooked, he had large blisters on his back, his arms and chest were red, and he looked like a cooked crayfish.
He took off his shirt and casually piled it around his waist.
Behind him, the doctor carefully squeezed out the blisters, and then applied a mint-colored plaster. Where the plaster is applied, the coolness dispels the burning heat. The young man covered his face with a cold cloth towel, and said in a muffled voice, "Hmph, fortunately this face is still intact."
In his clan, there is no handsome face, and no Mama is willing to sing with him. This face is as important as his voice!
"What time is it, do you still care about your face?" The officer stood aside with a wry smile, "You still think about what will happen later..."
The young man pursed his mouth: "What do you think?"
The official said: "Think about how to explain..."
The young man threw the warm cloth towel into the copper basin filled with cold water, and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to explain, and he can't do anything to me. If you want to punish me for accidentally 'leading a wolf into the house', then you must first investigate him for 'negligence'." Duty', you have to be punished together..."
The subordinate officer was speechless.
The young man spread his hands, and said generously: "I didn't know that those two people had problems, so can I be blamed? I also tried my best to stop them, but one hit four, and two of them were not weak Wenxin scholars. How do I keep them?"
After finishing speaking, the growl of the bearded man came from outside the tent.
"Naughty animal! Do you still think you are right?"
The young man was not at all surprised that the man was eavesdropping outside the tent, and said innocently: "I was wrong, but at most 30% of the mistakes, not to mention that I tried my best to 'make up for my mistakes', how long did it take four people? We won’t let those four escape.”
The bearded man twitched his beard in anger.
After the doctor had finished bandaging, the young man got up on the ground, lazily put back the jacket hanging around his waist, straightened the skirt, and showed an innocent look with the fearlessness that annoyed the bearded man.
"I brought back two gangsters from this group, it's true! But the other two were brought back by soldiers sent out by brother-in-law. It is not yet known which two of the four did it."
The bearded man was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart!
"Er dare—"
The young man squinted his eyes with a smile, pushed back directly, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you dare? Right and wrong, it's better to wait for the adoptive father to come and let him decide. If the adoptive father believes that the younger brother is fully responsible, how many soldiers stick, my younger brother will bear it."
Suddenly, the bearded man's eyes widened.
He was shocked by the shameless behavior of the young dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Is it sure that nothing will happen? ? ?
How unreasonable!
How unreasonable!
"According to the schedule, the righteous father will arrive in six or seven days, and our army has run out of food and grass. Why don't the righteous brother gather the soldiers and horses under the tent to discuss how to survive these few days. It is nothing if you can't take Xiaocheng. That group of shrimp soldiers and crabs will be wiped out, it's a shame!"
A run on made the bearded man a lot heavier.
His nostrils were slightly dilated, exhaling hot, angry air.
The young man didn't even look at him, but lowered his eyes to see off the guest.
The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "Wait! This general wants to see how you can get away with colluding with foreign enemies! Come, keep an eye on him, and don't even step out of the camp from now on!"
The young man didn't care, kicked over the low table blocking the way, and didn't even bother to maintain the basic etiquette of seeing off guests. His subordinate officials secretly thought "unlucky", gave a hasty salute, and hurriedly followed, regardless of whether the bearded man was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Hearing the bearded man slam the curtain angrily, and his footsteps gradually drifting away, the depressed mood of the young man improved a lot. He took out a box of big longan pearls of different colors, called his subordinates over, and said with a smile, "It's fine now, play two rounds with me."
Subordinate officer: "..."
The young man said again: "Oh, what a pity."
The subordinate officer couldn't hold back his curiosity: "What's a pity?"
The young man said: "My bosom friend, what a pity."
Subordinate officer: "..."
Although he was not on the battlefield, nor did he see the scene where Shen Tang confronted the youth, but he knew the final result. It is also because of this "confidant", the young man is afraid that he will be beaten with a military stick, otherwise he will not be able to appease the public anger... The major general still feels sorry for that person?
The young man sighed: "Golden gold is easy to get, but a close friend is hard to find... Mama may also be the only person in the world who can sing with me..."
The subordinate officer was about to speak.
He stopped short.
The subordinate officer has been with the young man for a while, and he doesn't know much about the young man, but it's not too little. He originally wanted to say that the young man still has people from his clan, but he just remembered that the Major General's clan is gone, and he is the only Miao Miao in the whole clan.
indeed-
Anyone who can sing duet with him counts as one.
The official said: "Then you still let people go?"
The young man looked at him with a half-smile.
The subordinate officer's face changed suddenly, realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Humble post doesn't mean that, humble post means..."
He thought for a while but couldn't think of a suitable excuse. He was so anxious that he sweated profusely, and quickly wet the underwear inside the armor.
The atmosphere in the tent was extremely tense. Just when the subordinate officer was wondering if he would be silenced, the young man spoke out.
He said: "Get up."
The subordinate officer was amazed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief as if escaping after a catastrophe. When he stood up, he realized that his hands and feet were already weak: "Young General Xie!"
The young man said: "No hurry, we will see you again."
The subordinate officials dare not speak anymore.
What a mistake to say, he didn't want to die inexplicably.
As for whether the young man intends to let people go, no one knows except the young man himself. The two played marbles with pearls for a while, the young man suddenly remembered something, and asked the subordinate officer: "Based on what you know about my righteous brother, will he withdraw his troops if he loses this time?"
It belongs to the official way: "I don't dare to speculate in a humble position."
Youth: "You say so!"
The subordinate officer: "It should be... The food and grass has been burned clean. Once the Xiaocheng garrison finds out about this, gather troops and go out of the city to attack us. Our momentum is sluggish and they will fight to the death... Well, it's better to withdraw temporarily and fight with the old general. confluence."
The young man smiled and said, "I think so too."
Subordinate officer: "...???"
Inexplicably, he felt that the major general was in a very good mood at this time, he... seemed to want to see the army retreat temporarily? ? ?
After playing marbles for a while, the young man patted his stomach and shouted that he was hungry.
Just as he was about to call for someone to get food, he remembered that the food and grass had been burned, so he dismissed the idea of adding food.
Not long after, there was a burst of joy and noise outside the tent.
He sent someone out to ask what was going on.
Xiaobing replied with a happy face.
"Major General, good news!"
The young man crushed a pearl out of boredom, watched the powder rustle on his fingertips, and asked casually, "Oh? What a good thing?"
Xiaobing said: "The army is coming!"
Youth: "!!"
There was a crackling sound of falling things in the tent, and the soldiers guarding the tent looked at each other in puzzlement.
W-Isn’t this a good thing?
hehe-
This news is indeed a good thing for the rebel camp that has been burned and its food and grass plummeted, but it is not a good thing for the people in Xiaocheng City. The young man looked at the noisy direction outside the tent with a gloomy expression, and his fists hanging by his side clenched and tightened.
Unknowingly, the sun is high.
A messenger soldier came from outside the account.
The old general wants to see him.
The young man pursed his lips tightly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still tidied up his appearance. Stepping out of the tent, the hearty and simple smile familiar to outsiders was on his face again. Approaching the position of the main tent, he looked in the direction of Xiaocheng, and could vaguely see the outline of the towering city wall.
Sigh inwardly—
There is such a catastrophe in the hit, there is no way to avoid it.
He bent down and lifted the curtain, before the person entered, the sound had already reached the ears of the person inside the tent.
"Father, the son is here."
————
"Poof—"
The two scribes assisted with all their strength, and Zhai Le wasted no effort in squandering his strength, and quickly brought Shen Tang, who was nearly unconscious, to a safe place. Just when he stopped, Shen Tang vomited out a mouthful of black and red blood while holding the trunk of the tree, his pale face looked much better.
Zhai Le was nervous: "Brother Shen, you are..."
Shen Tang waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, it's a trivial matter!"
She sat down and pranayama for a while.
The dizziness was barely suppressed for the most part.
While paying attention to Shen Tang's situation, Qishan was vigilant about his surroundings. Huo Di, he looked into the dark depths of the dense forest and drew his sword.
shouted: "Who! Get out!"
Zhai Le also entered a state of alert.
At this time, there was a rustling sound from the direction of the dense forest, and a familiar face came out, escorting Duwei Yang, who was escorting the tax banker! He responded: "It's me!"
After not seeing him for a few days, Duwei Yang haggarded a lot.
Qi Shan looked at him, then looked at Zhai Le who had let go of his guard, and then retracted his sword with a swipe, and bowed from a distance.
Yang Duwei said to the two of Zhai Le: "You two have been away for a long time and have not returned, and there is another fire in the direction of the rebel camp. I guess your plan was successful, so I brought people over to help..."
Qi Shan's complexion improved a lot.
Yang Duwei noticed the two unfamiliar faces of Qi Shan and Shen Tang, and asked hesitantly: "These two are..."
The corner of Zhai Huan's mouth twitched slightly.
This...how should I introduce it?
Zhai Le was very heartbroken, and introduced with a smile: "Yang Duwei, this is the brother Shen I often mention, he is very powerful. Thanks to the help of him and Mr. Qi, the fire was successful in one fell swoop! Brother Shen, Mr. Qi , this is Yang Duwei, the garrison of Xiaocheng."
After listening to Duwei Yang, his eyes lit up.
He said: "It turned out to be two righteous men."
Shen Tang stood up reluctantly, with admiration and admiration on his face, and replied: "I don't dare to be a righteous man. I have heard the name of Captain Yang for a long time. I saw you today, and the name is well-deserved." The formulaic smile is impeccable.
Qi Shan lowered her eyes and exchanged a light greeting.
The greetings between the two were insincere, but Captain Yang didn't mind.
As long as they are against the rebels, they are Paoze!
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, please come with me."
Shen Tang's literary spirit was severely depleted this time.
It took three or four hours of sleep before I recovered.
Still two in one.
PS: By the way, I recommend the new book "Help! I really can’t take it anymore”, you can invest if you haven’t signed a contract. Although the title of the book is tentative (the title is tentatively set, it may be changed when the contract is signed), the thorn is also an old author. Let everyone down.
