At the gate of Yangzhou City, Wang Wu watched blankly as the stretcher carrying Xiao Han moved away, and the expression on his face gradually became confused.
It turned out that he and a group of rangers did not follow Xiao Han and the others after entering the city. Instead, they all stayed at the city gate as if they had agreed.
It's not that they don't want to follow Xiao Han, but they all know that the rangers themselves are not Xiao Han's people. Although they have fought side by side, at most, it can be considered an employment relationship.
This relationship was automatically terminated after returning to the city after the battle, and they naturally had no reason to follow him anymore.
"Ahem, Fifth Brother? We? What should we do next?" Watching the last bit of torch light disappear into the darkness of the street, Xiaodao swallowed, carefully touched Wang Wu next to him with his elbow, and asked
!
"You ask me? Who am I asking?" Wang Wu was touched by the knife and suddenly came to his senses, but he could only shake his head and sigh.
Now standing in the city, when they think back to the past two days, everything seems like a dream!
The battle was won easily!
And not only was it a win, it was also a big victory! Except for Xiao Han being injured, everything else was perfect!
This should have been an ecstatic moment, but why can't they be happy now? Wang Wu is even a little worried about the prince who doesn't look like a prince no matter how he looks at it?
"The reward he promised me has not yet been fulfilled, so nothing will happen to him! At least, nothing will happen to him this time!"
"You brave men?"
Just when Wang Wu felt lost, a very polite voice suddenly sounded from beside him, which frightened him. He shouted without thinking: "Who is it! Isn't anyone thinking about something?"
It’s scary, scary to death!!”
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Wucai suddenly felt that something was wrong!
When he looked again, he suddenly realized that the speaker was none other than Yang Wenzhi and Cui Jingzhi who had just run to see off Xiao Han!
"Ah? Two... sirs! When... did you come back?"
Realizing that it was these two high-ranking officials! Wang Wu's eyes almost popped out of his head! When he spoke again, it was as if he was tongue-tied, and he became stammering!
Speaking of which, Wang Wu and Xiaodong are different from people who spend all day around the same prince.
Xiaodong and the others followed Xiao Han. Not to mention he was a long-time official or governor. Even if he was the emperor, they had met him many times, so naturally they didn't have much respect for officials.
However, rangers like Wang Wu usually hang out in the market, and the things they do are not so glorious!
Not to mention being the mayor of a city, even meeting the head of a government office is like a mouse meeting a cat! He scolds and shirks his work? If he doesn’t kneel down to someone on the spot, then it’s already considered that their kneecaps are hard enough!
Wang Wu stammered and didn't know what to say, but Cui Jingzhi had already noticed his fear.
However, with Cui Jingzhi's self-cultivation, how could he take this small offense to heart?
Therefore, he just smiled slightly and continued: "Haha, strong men, don't be nervous! As the parents and officials of a city, I haven't thanked you for your efforts in guarding the city! You are returning to the city today. On behalf of the people in the city, I would like to say something to you.
Thanks!"
With that said, Cui Jingzhi gave another solemn salute! Wang Wu and others were horrified and jumped away quickly, not daring to accept it.
"No, you're welcome, this is what we should do..." Wang Wu, who stepped aside, stammered to Cui Jingzhi.
After Cui Jingzhi finished saluting, Shi Shiran stood up. He looked at the many reserved knights, and couldn't help asking kindly to Wang Wu: "But I don't know who is your leader? Can I lend a step to speak? Is there anything I can do?
I want to ask him some questions!"
Wang Wu had lived for most of his life, and he had always been shouted at when meeting government officials and police officers. How had he ever been treated so politely by a high official in the imperial court?
So when Cui Jingzhi asked, he immediately looked like he was drunk and most of his face turned red!
"Chief? I...we..."
Wang Wu originally wanted to say that there was no leader among them, but as he spoke, something felt wrong again! What? The officer's eyes seemed to be staring at him all the time?
Wang Wu looked around blankly, and suddenly realized that it seemed that not only Cui Jingzhi, but Yang Wenzhi over there, and the soldiers at the city gate, everyone's eyes were on him at this moment, and his whole body was staring at him.
It feels uncomfortable, just like being bitten by countless mosquitoes.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
After saying this with a blushing face, Wang Wu suddenly had an idea flash in his mind, and then turned his head sharply and looked behind him!
Sure enough! The many rangers who were standing with him all moved behind him at this time, keeping two steps away from him!
There was also his good brother Xiao Dao, who was even more crowded in the crowd at this time. He still pointed his finger at himself. When he found himself turning around, he wanted to take it away, but he couldn't take it back. He could only stop in mid-air.
.
"Oh? So you are their leader, disrespectful!" Cui Jingzhi looked at the scene in front of him, how could he think of anything else? He solemnly bowed his hand to Wang Wu again, treating him as the leader.
"I'm not the leader, I was forced! These unloyal people betrayed me..."
When Wang Wu saw this, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldn't help shouting in his heart!
But he also knew that what was the use of denial at this time? Can his words alone be more credible than the words of more than a hundred people?
"Okay, sir, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask! After asking, I can clean up these good brothers from a certain family!"
Breaking the jar, breaking the pot, is what Wang Wu is talking about!
Anyway, he thought that he had not done anything sneaky this time, and he was not afraid of the officials asking him anything! After asking the questions earlier, he also moved his fists and feet earlier, so that he could loosen the skin of some people!
"Okay, okay, it's really refreshing!"
In fact, Cui Jingzhi had been itching to hold back these questions for a long time. When he saw Wang Wu agreed, he was overjoyed. He quickly pulled him aside with Yang Wenzhi and asked in a low voice: "Strong man, how is the situation outside the city?"
?Where have the thieves arrived now? How many people are there specifically?"
To be honest, these questions have been on the minds of Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenzhang since Xiao Han entered the city. They wish they could find someone back in the city to ask them questions immediately.
However, they thought so, but when it came time to ask, they didn’t dare to ask!
Because they were very afraid that Xiao Han would flee back from outside in embarrassment this time!
If they asked in front of so many people, wouldn't it hit the spot that hurts them? What would they think, and how would they continue to get along with each other in the days to come?
Therefore, these two parents had to endure it until now. It was not until they saw Wang Wu that they finally asked anxiously.
