Chapter 30: Prestige(1/2)
"Why am I here? Where is this?"
Xi Shen woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he and his companions were tied up and thrown into the grass.
Just when I was about to think about it, I saw a person at a glance, it was Du Man.
He was smiling at himself, but Xi Shen always felt that the smile was a bit malicious and ironic.
After all, the two of them were now exchanging host and guest. Just a moment ago, Duman was tied up, and now it was his turn.
He looked around again, eager to find the knight.
That person is the culprit who caused his own harm.
Finally, he saw this man by the creek not far away.
He was brushing the horses with his companions, and several tired animals were led to the stream. They drank from the stream from time to time, and everything was quiet and peaceful.
Perhaps when he saw Xi Shen looking around, the knight said a few words to his companion, then threw the horse brush to the person next to him, and then walked towards Xi Shen.
After walking in, Xi Shen really looked at this person.
This man has a sprouting beard, and he is probably just a teenager, but he is tall, has a majestic face, and has a clear voice, which makes him look heroic.
Xi Shen pursed his lips and said:
"You are a heroic man, I wonder if he is that General Shi?"
But the knight ignored him, which made Xi Shen feel nervous!
I am very particular about morality and justice in the world, is this person not very particular about it?
Xi Shen could only complain secretly.
That's right, this knight is Zhang Chong.
Previously, when he led his troops and two other people on a long journey here, he originally planned to redeem people properly.
After all, he didn't need the money, so why risk the lives of Duman and others.
But when he arrived, he saw that of the group of thieves, there was only one who was "proficient in archery", and the others were either "mastered in ring-shou sword" or "mastered in archery", so he estimated that that person was the leader of the thieves.
When someone came up from behind and whispered to him, Zhang Chong became even more sure.
Then he has nothing to hesitate about. Capture the thief first and capture the king first.
It was just a stone's throw away from him, and he was there on horseback, and this man didn't even bring his best bow and arrows.
That is really a case of not getting what God wants, but taking the blame for it.
Then there was a set of skills that allowed thieves to be captured successfully, and he also inherited: "Proficient in bow skills."
Zhang Chong looked at the garlic-haired man in front of him and wanted to attract him.
He had already heard about this Xi Shen from Du Man. He had a grudge against the Han family and was unruly. He was a typical figure of the ranger group.
Not only was he extremely daring, he dared to rob the son of the Three Lords, but he was also good at bow and horse. Naturally, there were not too many warriors like him.
But he was not in a hurry now. He could see that this person was still a little proud and felt that he was being attacked by surprise.
Zhang Chong didn't say much. He left him alone, then ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield and returned to the wall with six carts of evil young men tied up like rice dumplings.
When Zhang Chong and others returned to the camp, Li cadres who were hundreds of miles away also meandered back to the camp.
After that night of fighting, Li Gan's men and horses were exhausted and they had to repair for more than ten days.
During this process, Li Qian wrote an apology form, and Li Dian led his troops to collect some food in surrounding settlements and chopped off dozens of heads as military merit.
Until, there are no "traitors" nearby.
They just burned the wall of the thief's camp, threw all the thief's corpses into the ditch, and then returned to the inspection station after seizing them.
At this time, flags were flying on the loess road.
Teams of Li family members, wearing Qu Ho Ge and wearing armor, escorting baggage vehicles, marched westward in columns.
If it weren't for the laughter from time to time, this team would be pretty neat.
"Let me tell you a funny story."
An arrogant veteran in the team was bragging to everyone in an unpredictable tone.
"Yesterday, I went to collect grain with Xiao Lieutenant Li. The house I was assigned happened to belong to an aunt and a daughter-in-law.
I asked where his men were?
I couldn't explain those two words for a long time. Then I knew that this family was a bandit.
Originally I wanted to kill them all, but when I thought about it, it would be a waste if I killed these two randomly, why not let me feel comfortable."
Xiao Li Xiaowei is Li Dianye.
The old pawn's topic successfully attracted a large number of listeners.
Not only the few behind me poked their heads in the air, but even the old soldiers in front turned their heads from time to time.
The old pawn was also pleased with himself and spoke even more energetically:
"But who knows, that wife is still fierce and won't obey no matter what. I was also afraid that she would disturb Xiao Lieutenant Li, so I resorted to a trick.
I put a knife on the sister-in-law's neck and said to the daughter-in-law: 'If you obey me, I will let your sister-in-law go. If you don't obey me, then I will kill her.' And guess what?"
There was an impatient person behind me, so he started talking:
"Then you feel comfortable? Hehehehe?"
The old soldier glanced at him, and then said with an unlucky look:
"Shit, why did I call this wife fierce? As soon as that person listened to my words, he hit my knife edge and died."
"Ah! It's so strong! What about her sister-in-law? Did you let her go?"
"Are you farting? I'm always getting older, so I'll just use it. Don't tell me, it's a bit unlucky to do that next to a female corpse. Later, I saw that the aunt was crying all the time, so I could only give her a knife and give her to my aunt and daughter-in-law.
Huang Quan recognizes each other."
Everyone was stunned, this old soldier was really a beast, he could actually do such a thing.
There was a dark and strong man, filled with righteous indignation:
"You're really not a human being. What's the difference between you and an animal if you do this kind of thing?"
The old pawn didn't give in and said sarcastically:
"If I don't show off to you Naiweng, how much better can you do? If you go to collect grain, you won't leave a grain of millet for others.
Don’t they have to die in the end? You starve people to death, which is better than me killing people? I dare to teach you Naigong, it’s so majestic.”
The strong black man was choked and couldn't speak, so he punched the old soldier.
The captain who was walking at the head of the team couldn't turn a blind eye anymore, so he hummed and asked the black man to go to the back to help with the baggage truck.
Unexpectedly, the black man turned around and said:
"I'm not going, Shitou. If you want to scream, just call that old beast. The car is full of human heads. You can smell the stench from miles away, let alone pull the car in front of you.
Besides, I am a regular soldier, and this time three of the thieves' heads were chopped off. That old beast had a stomachache when he went to the battlefield. He couldn't kill many thieves, but he killed a lot of women and children. This is the life of a dead man, and this is the kind of person who should be killed.
Dry."
As he said that, he gave me a familiar look.
The companions understood the situation and cheered together to let the old beast go.
The cheers made the team at the front look sideways from time to time, and the captain looked embarrassed.
It's this black thorn head again. One day, he must know that the knife is useless, and sooner or later it will fall on Nai Gong's mouth.
But the chief didn't want to make a big fuss, so he quickly asked the old beast to carry the cart from behind. He also felt disgusted with this man.
The old soldier was at a loss and looked at everyone, trying to find someone to help him. But he only saw everyone laughing, his face darkened, and he could only go to the back to transport the car.
Seeing the old pawn walking away in despair, the black and strong pawn smiled triumphantly and glanced at Shi Long, who had an ugly expression on his face.
"Hmph, I just want to step on Naigong's head, bah."
The team was walking like this, but suddenly the front stopped and the team was stuck on the road.
Soon, someone came from behind and said:
"Why don't you leave?"
The words came from Li Qianzhongjun.
The strong black man received the order, and then passed it to the front, and the front to the front.
When the army is marching, it usually relies on this kind of person-to-person communication to issue instructions. The instructions must be simple.
Soon, a reply came from the front:
"There is a big car blocking the road ahead."
Then it spread all the way back to the Chinese Army.
After a while, a group of men and horses, carrying flags on their backs and holding big trusses, rushed from the Chinese army to the ravine on the roadside.
