Hearing the general's roar, the people around him retreated further.
"Young ones don't dare. No one dares to take credit." Xu Sigen raised his head and said hurriedly.
The general spat in his face.
"Let me tell you, people are always more important than animals and things!" He shouted, with thick eyebrows raised high, reaching out to pat himself, and pointing to the soldiers behind him, "It is the Western thieves we defeated, it is the military merits we exchanged for our lives, no
We can beat the Western thieves with you, you piece of shit, and we can beat the Western thieves with you, the horse iron. With or without this thing, we are the only ones who can beat the Western thieves."
Xu Sigen lowered his head and answered yes.
The general sighed angrily again, then turned around and walked away with the people.
Xu Bangchui was so angry that he almost went crazy. He threw Xu Sigen away and rushed over. Xu Sigen fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain. Xu Bangchui had to stop and come back hastily.
"Fourth brother, how are you?" He helped Xu Sigen and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Sigen said, holding his arm with his hand.
Xu Bangchui ignored him and forcibly took his hands away and opened his sleeves. When he saw that Xu Sigen's arm was covered in bruises and almost made a bloody hole, he immediately jumped up in anger and was forced to stop by Xu Sigen.
"Brother, what are you trying to do here? With the reputation of being safe in the rear and afraid of death, you are tinkering with the horse iron. No one appreciates it, but it makes people hate you. Now that you are still a soldier, we are all brave!
"Xu Bangchui shouted angrily.
The veterinarian and others who were hiding aside came over.
"Brother Xu seems to have been wronged. I don't know which general wrote Ma Tie's incident into the memorial. His words were exaggerated. As a result, he annoyed Shangfeng, and then incited these cavalry generals to make trouble." One person said lowly.
said the voice.
"Isn't this the credit of my fourth brother? The horses have reduced the wear and tear. How could these grandsons have two horses before! It's not because of the horse iron!" Xu Bangchui shouted, "Killing the enemy and seeing blood is merit. My fourth brother
Doesn’t this count?”
When no one answered, he mumbled and dispersed.
Xu Bangchui was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"I thought you were having a good life, look what you are trying to do!" he shouted.
"That's what I wanted to do." Xu Sigen looked calm and said with a smile, "There is no need for anyone to certify whether the work is meritorious or not."
As he spoke, he looked at the horse pen in front of him, with a bit of joy, and stretched out his hand to press his injured arm.
“It’s enough if it’s effective and useful, and it’s not in vain.”
…………………………
Xu Bangchui rode into the barracks. Fan Jianglin and Xu Maoxiu, who were standing in the yard talking, looked over and were a little surprised.
He showed off his power when he went out, but he looked listless when he came back. Who could make him angry in this stronghold?
He kills enemies bravely, the generals like him, he strives for fame rather than rewards, his colleagues like him, he spends generously, and the civilian servants like him. Now the matchmakers for him are all over the head.
"There are quite a few matchmakers for you." Fan Jianglin said with a smile, looking at Xu Maoxiu, "and even teasing him."
Xu Maoxiu laughed and shouted a stick.
Xu Bangchui responded dejectedly.
"Where have you been?" Fan Jianglin asked.
"I went to the castle to see my fourth brother." Xu Bangchui said with his head lowered.
Several brothers got their wish and were assigned to the fort to serve as soldiers. Only Xu Sigan was recommended by Zhu Si because of Ma Tie, and was allowed by Guo Dujian to be responsible for making horseshoes.
Over the past half year or so, from the initial nailing to the iron, from the initial discomfort to the injured horses to now, basically all the cavalry horses in Long Valley have become accustomed to horseshoes. It really took a lot of effort.
But this kind of hard work is not as visible as their meritorious service in killing the enemy, so until now he is still a soldier and has not earned any reward.
When Fan Jianglin wanted to say something, Xu Maoxiu spoke first.
"What happened to the fourth child?" he asked directly.
Xu Bangchui puffed up his cheeks.
"It's okay." He said.
Fan Jianglin raised his hand and hit him on the head.
"You don't even know what kind of person you are, and you learn to lie like others!" he scolded.
Xu Bangchui touched his head.
"Fourth brother was bullied," he shouted, his eyes red, "and he was even injured!"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Jianglin and Xu Maoxiu's expression changed.
"I'm so damn impatient!" Fan Jianglin shouted and walked away.
Xu Maoxiu stretched out his hand to hold him.
"Let's ask clearly first." He said, then turned to look at Xu Bangchui, "What's going on?"
"Those officials refused to acknowledge Fourth Brother's credit, and resented Fourth Brother for taking away their credit. They incited a group of people to beat Fourth Brother, and his arms were injured by horse iron." Xu Bangchui shouted.
Official... incitement...
Fan Jianglin looked at Xu Maoxiu.
"Let me ask you clearly," he said, "What are your plans?"
Xu Maoxiu looked at him and smiled.
"Just do whatever you have to do!" He said, letting go of Fan Jianglin and taking the first step, "Take the guy with you!"
Fan Jianglin laughed.
That's right, it doesn't matter whether you are an official or a soldier. When your brothers are wronged, you will be the first to stand up. Thinking about the pros and cons and analyzing the pros and cons are never brothers!
"Take the guys and call them," he shouted.
Liu Kui's eyes widened as he watched the six men riding out in a menacing manner. Liu Kui, who was holding a piece of cooking cake on the other side, stared at them.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!" he shouted, spitting out the cooking cakes in his mouth.
No one paid attention to him, and Xu Maoxiu and others galloped away.
"If you want to run away, I'm watching you!" Liu Kui shouted, took a few steps over, grabbed a horse and chased after him.
There was a roaring noise in a fort in Longgu City.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" People outside heard curious inquiries.
"There's a fight, there's a fight!"
When they heard the fight, countless people rushed in. The New Year was over and the city was quiet. This kind of excitement was not to be missed.
There was a swish sound, and a strong man was thrown out. Before he could get up, Fan Jianglin rushed over, pinned him down with his leg, and smashed him down with his fist.
Such ferocity attracted applause from the spectators.
Several people rushed over here to pull the two apart, and the strong man was beaten until his face was covered in blood.
"What do you want to do? Are you going against it?"
"Fan Jianglin, it's you guys again. It's not enough to kill Shangguan last time. Are you going to kill your own people too?"
The people here yelled.
"Last time our brothers were bullied and dared to fight back, this time is no exception!"
Fan Jianglin and others shouted.
In the blink of an eye, they were fighting together again.
Liu Kui was dumbfounded.
"Sure enough, you are not a good person!" he shouted, "Let the Western thieves go without killing them, and only do evil with your own people!"
Before he finished speaking, someone's arm from the crowd of confused people hit him, and Liu Kui jumped up immediately.
"...Son of a bitch, why are you beating me? Do you think I'm easy to bully!"
He yelled and punched him directly with his fist.
When Liu Lang got the news and came to the government hall, all the people involved in the fight had been brought to the government hall. The commanders in the capital were alarmed. They got furious in the government hall and shouted that Xu Maoxiu and others would be dragged out and beaten with sticks.
"…Sir, we will take responsibility for our guilt, but we must not let them go unpunished if they are guilty!" Xu Maoxiu said.
The commander looked at Xu Maoxiu with a sneer and ignored him. The few soldiers who opened their mouths to pay attention to him lost their identity.
"Is it someone else's fault that you hit someone?" shouted a subordinate next to him.
"Why don't you ask us why we beat people?" Xu Maoxiu said again.
The subordinate official laughed.
"Who do you think you are, you deserve to be questioned by adults!" he shouted.
"Of course you are not qualified to be asked, but these people beat Xu Sigan, the group pastoral supervisor, under the guise of dissatisfaction with the governor's awards and merits. Shouldn't the adults ask?" Xu Maoxiu also shouted.
The commander of Longgucheng actually brought out the governor to suppress him, and the commander of Longgucheng's face darkened.
"Xu Maoxiu, are you here to disrupt my court?" he shouted in a deep voice.
A little brave man dared to question the military commander of Longgucheng on Weizhou Road. The people watching the excitement outside suddenly fell silent.
I learned from that woman, not to dare to do anything, and Zhou Lang snorted in his heart.
"Sir, the younger ones don't dare." Xu Maoxiu straightened his back, "The younger one just wanted to clear his name. The younger brother Xu Sigen was beaten by them and said that he praised his merits. The younger ones were not convinced. It was clearly what the supervisor had determined.
Why does it become a boast? If so, wouldn't the younger brothers be beaten every day? The younger brothers should not be punished, but should the commander also ask these people about their crimes? Otherwise, wouldn't they be criticized?
If the fight is right, my brother will just take credit for it, but the Governor is wrong to ask for credit..."
The commander's face was dull, but his heart was even more furious than before.
