Chapter 787: Maintaining the Commander-in-Chief's Authority
Li Hu's face looked ugly.
Most of the people around him were his subordinates, and he was also the most courageous in this counterattack.
If Ning Xiaofan's prestige has reached its peak today, then Li Hu's prestige is definitely second only to Ning Xiaofan.
Everyone stayed at the scene like this for several minutes. Finally, Li Hu thrust the big knife into the ground, then lay down on the ground again and yelled: "Hit him."
What?
Everyone present was surprised when they saw this. Obviously, no one expected that Li Hu would actually let him be beaten.
However, even if Li Hu allows the fight, who would dare to fight?
Not to mention the people from the Black Wind Camp, even those assigned to the Shadow Guard were hesitant at the moment. Obviously, they did not dare to hit Li Hu.
Lu Wen looked at the people in the shadow guard office and said calmly: "You don't dare to fight, right? Okay, then each of you will also be punished, and each of you will receive twenty military sticks."
"ah?"
When those people in the shadow guard office heard Lu Wen's words, they were all surprised. They really didn't expect that just because they didn't hit him, they would be punished like this. That was twenty army sticks.
Later, Lu Wen said: "If you don't dare, I'll hit you with the stick!"
The people from the Shadow Guard quickly found a military stick and handed it to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen walked up to Li Hu.
Li Hu also looked at Lu Wen.
Both of them had expressionless faces and made eye contact.
Finally, Li Hu nodded slightly, and Lu Wen picked up the military stick and started beating.
Once, twice, three times...
Although Li Hu was physically strong, it still hurt when he was hit by the army stick. Ten consecutive hits with the army stick made Li Hu feel like his butt was going to rot.
"Execution completed." Lu Wen then turned to look at the people in the Shadow Guard Office and said, "You did not strictly carry out the reward and punishment tasks just now. Each of you received twenty military sticks. Battalion Commander Li Hu, please select a few people from the Black Wind Battalion.
Carry out punishment."
Li Hu did not refute this time, but pointed to a few people next to him and said, "You follow Director Lu's wishes."
At this moment, everyone was confused.
Li Hu was beaten, but he became submissive.
Is this still the arrogant Li Hu from before?
However, Li Hu was beaten, and the people around him did not dare to resist any more, and immediately began to punish the people in the shadow guard office.
Lu Wen did not take a serious look, but turned to Zhang Jinfu and Cui Yan and said, "Two village leaders, please stop looking here and leave."
At this moment, Zhang Jinfu and Cui Yan came to their senses. They never expected that the rules of Black Wind Village were so strict. Even people of Li Hu's level would be beaten at will, and Li Hu didn't even have a trace of dissatisfaction in the end.
They did not dare to stay any longer for fear of being beaten for disobeying Lu Wen's orders.
The two of them left Black Wind Village tremblingly.
Lu Wen watched them leave and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing.
He and Li Hu share weal and woe. In Black Wind Village, he was loyal to Ning Xiaofan. At the same time, he also regarded Li Hu as a brother, but today he personally beat his brother.
"What's wrong? Do you regret letting them go, or do you regret beating Li Hu?"
Ye Qing next to him looked at Lu Wen and said with a smile.
Lu Wen said: "I don't regret letting them go. This is the commander-in-chief's order."
Ye Qing said: "Actually, I still wonder why the Commander-in-Chief would do this. They are still relatively valuable."
Lu Wen said: "Don't you want to get out of the Yunfeng Mountains? If your vision is so narrow, I really wonder if the commander-in-chief is wrong about you."
Ye Qing said: "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"
"Do you think the boss will believe that they will send the money?" Lu Wen said: "Actually, the boss has no intention of letting them send the money."
When Ye Qing heard this, he became even more confused and said, "I don't understand this even more. Since the Commander-in-Chief doesn't intend to let them send money, why should he let them go?"
Lu Wen said: "Even if they go back now, their vitality is severely damaged. Have you ever thought about why the commander-in-chief specifically told them before that if they are in trouble, they can seek help from Black Wind Village at any time?"
Ye Qing thought for a while and suddenly said in surprise: "Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief wants to win over them? The Commander-in-Chief has concluded that Wu Xin will attack Bailian Village and several other copycat villages. Therefore, if Heifeng Village takes the initiative to attack, people will be killed."
They have a bad name for adding insult to injury or sneak attacks, but if these cottages individually or jointly ask for help from Heifeng Stronghold, then the situation will be completely different if Heifeng Stronghold sends troops again."
Lu Wen laughed and nodded and said, "Brother Ye is still very smart. I think the Commander-in-Chief will definitely reuse you in the future."
Ye Qing laughed softly, then sighed slightly and said, "The commander-in-chief's thoughts are really difficult to figure out, and his vision is far-sighted, which we cannot compare with."
Lu Wen nodded and said, "Yes, the Commander-in-Chief is a very human being. I believe what the Commander-in-Chief said will definitely come true."
Ye Qing said: "You mean to leave the Yunfeng Mountains?"
Lu Wen shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about dominating the Sky Blue Continent."
Ye Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing Lu Wen's words.
As a bandit, he has such ambitions.
He simply couldn't believe that he was in a bandit's village.
At this time, Lu Wen said again: "Oh, I have to go see Li Hu and apologize to him."
"You have to apologize after being punished?" Ye Qing said: "You just hit him a bit too much. After all, Li Hu is..."
Lu Wen said seriously: "It's not wrong for me to beat him, because I am the director of the Shadow Guard Department and am in charge of rewards and punishments. This is the responsibility given to me by the commander-in-chief. I must strictly implement it, but Li Hu is my brother."
, I hit him and I must apologize to him."
Ye Qing looked at Lu Wen and suddenly felt that this Black Wind Village was really different from other villages. Instead, it looked like the army he had been in before.
Maybe one day, those words will really come true.
Lu Wen went to see Li Hu, and when he said he wanted to apologize, Li Hu was also ashamed.
Although Li Hu had a violent personality, he knew in his heart that Lu Wen was not hitting him, but was trying to maintain Ning Xiaofan's authority.
In fact, Li Hu also understands that without Ning Xiaofan's existence, he would not be able to have his current status. Even now, there are many people who want to replace him.
Maintaining the dignity of Commander-in-Chief Ning Xiaofan is indeed the top priority.
The words are divided into two parts!
After Ning Xiaofan left the hut, he went directly back to his residence.
Although Ning Xiaofan is now the Commander-in-Chief, he still lives in the same house as before, and he also had the bamboo building remodeled and a hut was built inside. He lives in the hut, and
Xia Jinxi and Dong'er lived in the previous back room. (To be continued)
