"I dare not lie to you, sir. After we left the city that day, we met the new Fire Guardsmen who had returned today in a small valley thirty miles north of the city. At that time, we almost got into a fight with a fat man.
It can be regarded as acquaintance without fighting... Later, the Marquis asked us to station there together. You don't know. The conditions were so difficult. To eat, the Marquis was not allowed to light a fire, and the food was cold. We slept at night.
It’s also cold…”
Xiao Dao is a talker, and can talk about trivial matters for a long time. In addition, he is being asked by a high-ranking official like Cui Jingzhi. In his vanity, he doesn't care whether big or small things are useful or not. He just talks about what he saw after leaving the city.
After everything was said, Cui Jingzhi’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot as he listened!
"Stop! You don't need to say it in such detail!" After a while, Cui Jingzhi finally couldn't help it anymore, gritted his teeth and interrupted Xiaodao's eloquent story.
He hit his mouth with the knife, glanced at him with unfinished thoughts, and muttered: "Didn't you say it should be thinner? It doesn't need to be so thin now, how thin should it be?"
"..."
Cui Jingzhi, who has always had a good temper, twitched at the corner of his mouth, and there were faint sparks in his eyes! His patience today has really reached its peak!
"Just tell me! You met the enemy! Where are those enemies!"
"Oh... this? If you had said that earlier, wouldn't I have..."
Hearing Cui Jingzhi's low roar, Xiaodao suddenly realized, rolled his eyes, and kept talking, but suddenly he saw the murderous looks in Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenzhi's eyes! He quickly swallowed and said quickly:
"As for the enemy, we met two teams in total. The first team was about three thousand people! They were all killed by the Marquis at once, and only one boy survived. The subsequent team, good guys, had enough
There were more than 10,000 people! This time we didn’t kill them all at once, they made them run away a lot! By the way, the Marquis was injured this time.”
"Three thousand? Ten thousand? Again?"
Before Xiaodao finished speaking, Cui Jingzhi no longer wanted to hear it anymore.
He held his head weakly and smiled bitterly in his heart: Could it be that all these people had colluded before they came back? But who could be deceived by such a clumsy lie?
Don't talk about him, even the most ignorant old lady will not believe that you guys can simply kill an army of 3,000! Not to mention, there are more than 10,000 troops behind!
Do you really think you are a god descending to earth?
"Master Cui, how about we send two people to take a look? Thirty miles is not far away anyway?"
However, unlike Cui Jingzhi, who was already disappointed, Yang Wenwen sensed something was wrong at this time.
He had been staring at Xiao Dao's expression just now, and found that although the little man in front of him was arrogant, he was quite confident when he said this, and it didn't seem like he was lying!
"What are you looking at? Do you believe such nonsense?" Cui Jingzhi scolded angrily. He was about to walk away, but was stopped by Yang Wenwen.
"Master Cui, have you forgotten, what is Xiaohou famous for in the court?"
"What?" Cui Jingzhi didn't react for a moment. Of course, this is also related to Xiao Han's famous places. He likes beauty, likes gold, is rude by nature, talks to the point of irritating people to death, and all kinds of special things are simply not worth mentioning.
One and all!
"It's amazing!" Seeing Cui Jingzhi's confused look, Yang Wenwen didn't bother him and gave him the answer directly!
"Miraculous? You mean... this time too?" Cui Jingzhi finally came to his senses after Yang Wenwen nudged him!
However, after being excited for a moment, he quickly calmed down: "Do you think it's possible? If things are not as they said, then if we send people out, wouldn't it be just meat buns beating dogs and never coming back?"
Yang Wen Zhang sneered when he heard this, glanced at Wang Wu and Xiao Dao as if he had already made a decision, and said slowly: "What are you afraid of? If our people can't come back, then we will sentence these people to the serious crime of colluding with foreign enemies!"
"Huh? Are you colluding with the enemy inside and outside? Doesn't that mean we are going to be hacked to death?"
Wang Wu was still wondering why the two officials stopped talking to him and started talking to Xiaodao instead.
Now that I look at it, I finally understand: It turns out that they don’t believe their own words at all! This is looking at people through the crack in the door and looking down on them!
"What a ruthless old man, what a ruthless officer! He is simply more ruthless than us desperadoes!"
Taking a breath of cold air, Wang Wu just wanted to curse, but when he met Yang Wenwen's cold eyes, the curse words on his lips turned into a flattering smile: "Hey, how can we lie to people? If you don't believe it, you can send someone
Check, those bodies are just there..."
"Okay, let's go check it out!" Cui Jingzhi squinted at Wang Wu and said slowly.
At this time, he also discovered something was wrong with Wang Wu and others! Because when they heard that he wanted to investigate, although they were a little angry, they were not afraid!
Anger should be caused by distrust in oneself!
But there is no fear to dodge, does this mean that they have nothing to fear? Could it be that what they said can be true?
This idea is undoubtedly absurd to Cui Jingzhi!
In order to prove such an absurd idea, he ignored the lives of his men and rashly sent them out of the city to verify it. This is undoubtedly even more absurd!
But Cui Jingzhi still convinced himself: Anyway, he originally wanted to send someone out to check the situation outside, so this time he will go together!
"Squeaky..."
The door that had just closed once again opened a gap.
Immediately, three fast horses rushed out of the city gate like arrows, and then disappeared into the vast night outside the city.
Thirty miles, for a high-quality fast horse, is only half the time it takes to burn an incense stick! Even a round trip, plus the time spent exploring the situation, will never exceed half an hour.
So after the horse left the city, Cui Jingzhi immediately ordered people to cook porridge and rice on the spot, and left this large group of rangers behind in the name of comforting the warriors.
As for the group of rangers, they were a little confused and didn't know where they were going. But now that they heard that the government wanted to invite them to dinner, they immediately agreed enthusiastically.
You must know that before, they could only eat official meals when they were in prison. Now that they have the opportunity to eat outside, they naturally have to try it to see how the taste outside is different from that inside the prison cell!
Among the happy rangers, no one noticed. Wang Wu and Xiao Dao, who were left alone, kept looking at them with a sullen face, without even the slightest smile.
As insiders, they naturally knew Cui Jingzhi's plans clearly.
However, facing this situation, although the two of them felt dissatisfied, they could only watch and had no other choice!
Without Xiao Han, there is no one here to stand up for them! And asking them to stand up for themselves? That is a no-brainer.
Despite Wang Wu and Xiao Dao's usual bragging, they were instantly disappointed when they saw the government!
Coupled with this credit, strictly speaking, it had little to do with them!
So even if they want to use their power to overwhelm others, they can't do it.
