Hu Biao and others used modern thinking to guess what was behind Xie Gui's statement that he asked them to come over after digging the hole and before burying it.
Some of the meanings it represents are nothing more than this special time.
He was the highest military officer in Suifengdun, and he just wanted to host the funeral to show his presence as a man of hundreds of families.
This kind of thing is not unusual at all in the modern world, it is considered normal operation.
Regarding this point, Hu Biao and the others naturally didn't care, and they were happy to use this method to ease the relationship with their immediate boss.
The problem was, when Xie Gui strode over with his four uninjured servants, Hu Biao and the others realized that they had thought too kindly about the humanity of a person at the end of the dynasty.
Living in an era of peace and prosperity, they are far from aware of how ugly some people's human nature is.
Because when they got closer, Xie Gui's two servants actually took out a sword from their waists and strode towards the last two common people.
The other two people also held hand-extending knives and axes as weapons in their hands, pointing towards the row of neatly arranged corpses.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao and others didn't react yet; or maybe they had learned some relevant information from the Internet before, but when they really encountered this kind of thing, they couldn't react at all.
The two commoners faced Xie Gui and the others and begged in horror: "Master, Master, spare your life, please spare this little man's life."
Instinctively, the rookie singer who was standing next to the people stood in front of a servant and stretched out his hand to stop him.
But he didn't expect that he was pushed away by a servant and scolded him fiercely:
"Go away, you stupid thing! Mr. Xie has just arrived at Suifeng Dun and has only a few days to take office. Naturally, he needs to give some credit to his superior.
Originally, the head of the Tatar who was stabbed to death by you was the most useful, but it was taken away by other Tatar soldiers, so we can only blame these people for their suffering, and now we have to use their heads.
You all have a good time, and when the reward comes from Shangguan, you will naturally benefit from it."
After hearing this, Hu Biao and others realized that this was the famous "killing good people and claiming merit" in the late Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, good people are killed, and their heads are disguised as Tatars, or other gangsters, and used to fool higher-level officials.
The problem is that the education Hu Biao and others received since childhood made it impossible for them to accept such an approach.
Damn it! This thing is called a soldier. You have the ability to kill Tatars. What does it mean to chop off the heads of your own people?
Even though he knew that he would not get anything good after falling out with Xie Gui, Hu Biao gritted his teeth and immediately stopped in front of Xie Gui.
As he bowed once more and bowed his hands, he shouted loudly:
"Thank you for showing mercy, sir. They are all our own people~"
While saluting, Hu Biao was also secretly prepared. If Xie Gui scolded him or even kicked him for this incident, that would be fine as long as he no longer insisted on killing good people and taking credit.
That’s all.
In order to survive after completing the system tasks, endure these things without being miserable.
But if Xie Gui still refuses to give up, don't blame him for being rude; Hu Biao has already prepared several flying knives and went over to kill this guy and several of his men directly.
At that time, if the superior officials of the left guard of Datong Town continue to pursue the matter, they might as well push it into the hands of those Tatar soldiers.
While Hu Biao bowed, Yang Dongli and other veterans quickly followed after seeing this.
There was no unified rehearsal, but they shouted neatly at the same time: "Thank you for showing mercy, sir."
Similarly, a group of veterans and rookies also made secret eye contact and made plans to follow Hu Biao when they saw something was wrong.
Needless to say, the psychological changes that occur to human beings under certain cruel environments, or the rate of growth, is astonishing.
What's more, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, Xu Feng, and Lang Qing are basically veterans who have died once.
They may not even notice it themselves, but the psychological changes are astonishing.
In the last mission, they would never have thought of taking action decisively after a disagreement; but now, a beast in their hearts has been released...
*******
Under the cold moonlight, the scene looked a little strange.
On the one hand, it was Xie Gui, the nominally highest-ranking trial household in Suifengdun. He looked coldly at Hu Biao and other military households in front of him, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent.
At this moment, he even felt a little aggrieved.
Why? Why can other general banners, hundreds of households, and thousands of households, treat their military households as their own servants, and they are still the kind who don't need to pay them.
And these military households under him may say nice things, but they don't give him any face.
Perhaps it was because of the scene in the afternoon that it left a considerable impression on Xie Gui's servants.
Therefore, although the four servants present did not speak, they all protected Xie Gui without exception; they held a waist knife, ax and other weapons in front of them, ready to fight.
On the other hand, Hu Biao and other 29 people in the group bowed in unison.
These guys also kept silent, and seemed quite respectful on the surface, but once Hu Biao took the lead, they were ready to launch an attack.
Among the torchlight, the cold light of those kitchen knives from a certain spring was particularly frightening.
By the way! There were two surviving civilians present, and one of them was holding an unknown baby in his arms.
But both men were frightened, and the baby had already fallen asleep, so no one in the group made any sound.
In short, the atmosphere at the scene was filled with indescribable weirdness in a period of dead silence.
As long as someone from both sides takes action, their heads will be smashed immediately.
In the end, poor Lord Xie Gui endured the humiliation and made a concession once again; it seemed that not giving in would work, mainly because there were too many people like Hu Biao, and he and a few servants obviously couldn't defeat them.
In anger, he let out a burst of night-like laughter, stared at Hu Biao, and said in a sinister tone:
"Okay, very good, Hu Biao, right? Thanks to someone for taking note of this matter, there will naturally be generous rewards in the future~"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Suifeng Dun. The other four servants glared at Hu Biao and others and quickly followed.
Upon seeing this, even a girl like Ali knew that they were completely at loggerheads with these people.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the sound of the old typewriter keyboard rang in their ears again.
Good guy! They actually used such a method to trigger the second phase of the mission.
In the supporting subtitles that generally appear, the content is as follows:
"Congratulations to the trainee commander Hu Biao, and congratulations to the other trial personnel, the second phase of this mission is officially released.
First, from now on, before 9 p.m. 10 days later, the trainee commander Hu Biao must obtain the nominal and actual command authority of Suifengdun.
Second, within 10 days, Suifeng Dun must be controlled by our own personnel and cannot be completely captured by the Tatars, not even in a short period of time.
At 9 p.m. 10 days later, the number of surviving netizens must not be less than 10.
And all surviving personnel must stay in Suifeng Fort; those who are not in Suifeng Fort for any reason will be killed immediately.
Third, the above two points are mandatory requirements for this task.
If any of these points are not met, the mission at this stage will be considered a failure, and the system will give a penalty of randomly erasing 5 people.
During this phase of the mission, all personnel participating in this trial mission will be limited to a radius of 30 kilometers.
Any person whose activities exceed this area will be immediately punished by the system.
Finally, I wish you all good luck."
The string of subtitles that appear in the above system undoubtedly contains quite a wealth of information if interpreted carefully.
Especially after the falling out with Xie Gui, the second phase of the system's mission was triggered. If there were no twists and turns in it, even if Hu Biao and the others were killed, they wouldn't believe it.
The problem is that too many things happen continuously in a short period of time.
For a moment, the heads of all the netizens were in a state of confusion, and they were unable to react.
What to do? Under such doubts, everyone looked at Hu Biao, their trainee commander, hoping that this desperate man would come up with a solution.
Faced with everyone's expectations, Hu Biao really came up with a solution.
This desperate bachelor was also a bachelor. After spitting heavily in the direction where the five people disappeared, he started shouting:
"Hold on, don't panic!
Offending the grandson Xie Gui is actually not a big deal. If he dies butcher Zhang, will others still eat meat with hair on it?
Now let's all work together to bury these corpses quickly, then go back and get something to eat, and then discuss how to proceed with the next mission."
Don't talk about it yet! Hu Biao's words are rough and his reasoning is rough. After thinking about things that are irreversible, it is useless. After this point, everyone also relaxed their minds one after another.
Of course, almost 6 hours have passed since I was transported to the mission world.
What's more important is that we walked a long way and even had a short but fierce battle, or a process of escaping for our lives.
Many foodies' stomachs are now so hungry that their chests are touching their backs, and the idea of eating something is very attractive.
As a result, no one had any objections to Hu Biao's statement, and they all got busy.
