After placing Mu Shuangquan in the examination room in the north of the city, which was overcrowded with injuries, Yi Shangyan greeted the familiar doctor. The two of them hurried back to the north city without spending much time, walked towards the arrow stack at the head of the city, and headed east.
The Beirong soldiers attacking the city below retreated to the north like a tide with the sound of gold ringing.
The massive all-out siege ended in an anticlimactic end, with corpses of men and horses scattered everywhere in the beaten snow, dazzling bloodstains, and the remains of siege vehicles and ladders that were still burning and smoking beside the city wall.
Yi Shangyan jumped to the top of the outer city, looked to the north, and wondered: "What kind of tricks are Beirong doing? They just launched a formal attack on the city, and they retreated inexplicably. It's not like their style... Human lives are not valuable." ?"
Chang Siguo smiled and said casually: "They may be launching a war to consume some of the population. Didn't they say that there was a plague on the grassland and there was going to be a famine?"
Yi Shangyan turned his head and glanced, shook his head and said: "That's not right. If you want to consume, you will also consume the old and the weak. The Beirong people will not do stupid things like consuming the young and strong. Maybe there is something fishy here?"
I often think about it and stop talking. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
But for the specific reason why the Beirong people are causing trouble, you have to ask the Beirong people themselves.
He was not in his position, and the information he had was not enough to deduce the overall situation, so he was too lazy to use his brain to think about it.
When the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up.
Why bother others.
He was thinking that since the war had subsided today and the Temporary Body Refiner identity card had been obtained, after lunch, he would take Yi Shangyan and go to the service building to exchange all the captured trophies. The currency is white jade coins, and pills for cultivation.
Regardless of whether Sihuang City can be defended, he at least has nothing to worry about. Even if he is hiding in the wild, he does not have to worry about running out of training resources in a short period of time.
Chang Siguo responded casually: "Perhaps they want to besiege without attacking and consume all the food in the Four Wastelands City?"
"It's impossible. We have nearly 10,000 farms near Sihuang City. The autumn grain in the city is plentiful. We need to save money. We won't be able to finish it in three to five months. On the other hand, the Beirong cavalry are tired from the expedition. It is also ice and snow. People eat what horses chew. How long will it take them? Besides, our reinforcements will be coming soon... haha."
Yi Shangyan stopped in time, laughed dryly, covering up the embarrassment of almost leaking the secret, and turned to look towards the east of the city.
Shan Liwen and the man in the green shirt were walking quickly. The man in the green shirt was carrying an eight-foot-long ax, which was a weapon left behind by the giant man called the Savage Tiger. It was incompatible with the man in the green shirt's seemingly frail and slender figure.
Yi Shangyan and Chang Siguo jumped down from the top of the city and took a few steps forward.
After saying hello, seeing Chang Siguo glance at the long ax intentionally or unintentionally, Shan Liwen introduced with a smile: "Song Mu, my junior brother, he doesn't like to talk, he has such a light temper, brother Chang, don't be surprised."
"Don't dare, don't dare. I've seen Brother Song."
Chang Siguo greets others with fists in his arms. When there is no conflict, he is always kind to others.
The man in green shirt had a dull smile on his face, but then he stopped and shook the long ax he held in his right hand, indicating that it was inconvenient to return the favor.
Chang Siguo smiled. In his previous life, he had dealt with people of all kinds in business, so he didn't care about trivial matters. As he walked to the west, he asked, "Brother Shan, what happened earlier?" I haven’t seen Brother Wei, how is he?”
Even if you have some guesses in your mind, you still need to ask clearly.
In just a short meeting, Wei Zhongyu left a good impression on him, but the general would inevitably die in battle.
Shan Liwen's face froze, he smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Brother Wei... Alas, he has died. The rebels trampled him, and only found... Someone has sent Brother Wei's remains to the camp of the bandits. What a pity."
Seeing that there was no expression on Chang Siguo's face, Shan Liwen changed the subject and asked: "Brother Chang, how is your friend, the team leader, injured? Do you need me to say hello?"
Chang thought about the thick hemp rope hanging from the city last night and the man's hearty smile. He sighed inwardly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Shan. I heard the doctor said that if you change the dressing more frequently, you will be better." After a few days, he will be able to walk around. Apart from losing an arm, which will cause some inconvenience in the future, his life is safe."
"To be alive is a great blessing among misfortunes."
Shan Liwen pointed to the big ax in the hand of the man in green shirt and said: "In the critical moment, your friend made a decisive decision and used a crossbow to hit the Beirong cultivator Barbarian Tiger hard, saving the lives of many brothers. This big ax is the barbarian tiger." The ax left behind should be considered as your friend's trophy."
Chang Siguo was waiting for Shan Liwen's next words. He was in a hurry to save Mu Shuangquan's life and had no idea about the situation at the top of the city. He said, "Brother Shan, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
Shan Liwen pondered for a moment and said: "Your friend fired two rows of crossbow arrows, severely injuring the barbarian tiger, killing more than ten Beirong soldiers, and at the same time... well, he killed eight Pao Ze, including a gang leader and a captain. "
Speaking of the latter part, he lowered his voice to a very low level so as not to let the soldiers who were busy transporting the wounded at the top of the city hear.
Previously, after clearing away the Beirong soldiers who had stormed the city, the chief and other soldiers guarding the city pointed at the brothers who were still hanging on the city wall and clamored for an explanation.
Chang Siguo glanced at Yi Shangyan. At the critical moment, Yi Shangyan had the same fever as himself. No one would trouble him. This was the difference in treatment due to different status. Of course, if he offended people in this way, he would not be able to say it. , said calmly: "Brother Shan, how should we deal with this, please clarify?"
Shan Liwen thought about his words and said: "Brother Chang, the material of this big ax is not bad. It can be exchanged for seventy or eighty white jade coins. Can your friend give up half of the loot to the brother who died under the crossbow arrow?" Can we make some compensation?"
He used a deliberative tone, which allowed him to examine the other person's character.
Chang Siguo thought for a while and said: "Brother Shan, please take the trouble. When my brother wakes up, I will ask him for his opinion. I will act according to the urgency of the matter, but in the end, it will hurt my brother's life. I think he also feels guilty." , will not refuse such compensation.”
Without his relationship, Mu Shuangquan would definitely not be able to get a share of the spoils, and even if he had, it would be very limited.
He could basically make the decision for Mu Shuangquan, but he didn't say anything to death.
He guessed that someone was jealous of the trophy of this big ax?
Shan Liwen smiled and said: "That's very good. Brother Chang understands the righteousness. On behalf of the soldiers guarding the city, I would like to thank you." He stopped and bowed his hands in salute.
Chang Si too quickly responded: "How dare you, how dare you, Brother Shan is so polite."
Shan Liwen solved a small problem and continued to walk forward quickly, and said: "Brother Chang, you can ask your brother, based on his contribution to defending the city this time, and give up some of the loot, he can take a step higher, or , just quit the army and go home to be a rich man, so I can run the business for him."
Chang Siguo knew that this was Shan Liwen's show of goodwill to him. Such a good thing, he would not refuse it. He smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Shan. I wonder how much loot needs to be transferred? I will talk to that brother then."
"It's close to 20%. Any more is not a good deal."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"You and I brothers don't need to be polite, it's just a trivial matter."
In just a few words, the fate of Mu Shuangquan, who was still sleeping on the simple bed in the examination room, was changed. It was up to him to choose whether he would be promoted to the position of uncle he longed for, or go home to enjoy his life.
There are people above who want to be officials, but that's all.
