"Thieves outside the city? Aren't they killed by us? What else could happen? Where can they go? Did they fake their corpses?"
Seeing the uneasy looks of the two officials in front of him, Wang Wu scratched his head and replied with a blank look on his face.
"What?!"
Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen thought it was Xiao Han and the others who were defeated and returned to the city. How could they have imagined that they were actually victorious and returning to the city as the fat man said at the beginning?
So, I couldn't help but scream! Two pairs of eyes suddenly widened and stared at Wang Wu. Wang Wu was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
"What's wrong? Yes, is there any problem?"
Yang Wenwen didn't care about Wang Wu's careful look and still looked at him directly. It wasn't until a long time later that he rubbed his temples and said feebly: "Wait a minute, my head is a little dizzy. You just said that you will win the battle." Already?"
"We won, or a big victory!" When Wang Wu said this, he actually felt a little guilty, and his tone was not that confident.
My family knows their own affairs. Except for him who played a small role in this great victory, the other rangers just followed and ran around, useless! Not helpful at all! So if you insist on saying "they" won, it's more or less suspected of being greedy for credit.
Who are Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen? Both of them are old foxes who have been involved in the officialdom. What they are best at is observing people's emotions. Now when they saw Wang Wu's appearance, his heart sank three points.
However, they did not think that Wang Wu lied about the military situation and turned defeat into victory! Because in the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bold a person was, he would not dare to tell such a lie!
What they were worried about was that there was water hidden in the great victory that Wang Wu mentioned!
Maybe, they just went out of the city to ambush a small group of people, gained some military exploits, and then ran back.
In that case, although it is still a victory, it will have no effect other than angering the enemies outside and making their next siege even crazier.
"Ahem...a great victory? How many thieves did you defeat? A thousand?" Cui Jingzhi glanced at Yang Wenwen, smiled bitterly, and asked Wang Wu.
"What? A thousand?"
Wang Wuben was still a little embarrassed, but when he heard the number reported by Cui Jingzhi, he was immediately stunned. He even picked his ears in disbelief, for fear that the earwax would block his ears and miss a zero.
"How about eight hundred?"
Seeing Wang Wu's astonished look, Yang Wenwen's heart sank even more. The corner of his mouth trembled twice before he reported another number.
Wang Wu was completely speechless at this time, and the whites of his eyes almost turned to the sky.
"Three hundred?" Cui Jingzhi held out three fingers with a dark face.
Well, with three hundred, defeat three hundred! In the past, this could barely be considered a big victory. Publicizing it would also increase morale.
"Hey, you guys are being too mean, aren't you? You're looking at people through the cracks in the door, and you're looking down on them!"
And listening to these two high-ranking officials downgrading their achievements again and again, Wang Wu finally couldn't hold it back, and regardless of the huge difference in their status, he jumped up and said angrily: "What eight hundred, three hundred? Three thousand! It’s three thousand!”
"Oh, three thousand...what? Three thousand!"
Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen were already frustrated and said something casually, but after a moment, they suddenly realized that something was wrong, and their whole bodies froze in place as if they had been struck by lightning!
However, the shock that Wang Wu brought to the two of them was not over yet!
Next, he glanced at the two people who were stunned, and said proudly: "Three thousand thieves were killed, and this was just the first battle! Later, more than ten thousand people came! As a result, they were beaten all over the ground again. Looking for teeth, thousands of corpses were left behind in the end, and the others fled in panic! Nowadays, it is so safe outside the city that even a big girl can’t even take a walk! You still have to close the city gate!"
So proud! Accidentally, he forgot his identity, and vulgar words and slang came out of Wang Wu's mouth.
However, Yang Wen Zhang and Cui Jingzhi were already stupid at this time, so why did they still care about his vulgar words?
"Wait! Lao Yang, there are only two or three hundred of them, how can they kill ten thousand people? Even if those thieves are crazy and stretch their necks to chop them, it will take a while, right?"
Cui Jingzhi was dizzy for a long time, and finally came to his senses! But when he thought about it more carefully, he immediately discovered that it was inconsistent with the truth, so he quickly pulled Yang Wenwen and told him his questions.
"This...is the same!" After hearing Cui Jingzhi's words, Yang Wen Zhang also woke up from the shock and joy! He looked up at Wang Wu, who was trying to look lonely as a master, and then looked at Cui Jingzhi, a message revealed in his eyes:
Are they crazy, or is this person crazy?
Yang Wen Zhang and Cui Jingzhi are naturally not crazy, so the only one who is crazy is Wang Wu!
Thinking of this, the two of them sighed in unison, then turned back and looked at the rangers again.
There is nothing more to say to this madman, let alone argue with him. He is crazy. Even if he wins the argument, what will happen? So they decided to find another one and listen to him recount what happened.
"Hey, that brother who is smiling so happily, please come over here!"
Xiao Dao was stretching his neck to see Wang Wu muttering with the two officials. Suddenly, he found that the two officials stopped talking to Wang Wu and instead turned their heads and waved to him...
"Me?" The smile on his face suddenly froze, and Xiao Dao pointed at himself suspiciously. When he was sure that they were referring to him, his smiling face instantly turned into a crying face, and he walked towards the two of them. go.
Alas, there is no good thing when people are happy, and dogs are happy when they are in a pot of soup! The ancients never deceived me!
"Two adults, why do you call me here?" Dragging heavy steps, he moved little by little to Cui Jingzhi's side. Hearing the faint laughter of gloating from behind, Xiaodao wanted to slap himself twice. , Why are you so happy that nothing is wrong? Otherwise, there are so many people, there is no way he would have picked him!
It's normal for Xiaodao to be full of reluctance.
As a ranger, no one wants to deal with people in the government, let alone such a high-ranking official!
If they were accidentally asked about the things they had done in the past, they would probably have to clean their butts and wait until they were in jail.
"Um..." Cui Jingzhi frowned and glanced at Xiao Dao, who was embarrassed. He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and asked directly: "What did you do when you left the city this time? Can you tell me in detail?"
"Huh? That's what you're asking?"
Xiaodao's brows were furrowed and he was about to cry!
Unexpectedly, the official in front of him just asked them about leaving the city. This immediately made him feel as if he had stepped from hell to heaven in an instant!
Although he really didn't do much when he went out of town this time, but if you want to elaborate, then I'll tell you in detail!
