Before Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, a hint of bitterness appeared on Liu Shilin's face. He spread his hands and said: "Master Ye, I have lost most of my servants these days. I don't have fifty people under my command now." ········”
"Then how many people can you mobilize?" Ye Mingsheng was not surprised at all by Liu Shilin's excuse. He stared at him and continued to ask:
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was determined to send people by himself, Liu Shilin's face became even more bitter. He gritted his teeth and said: "I only have twenty people with me now. If Mr. Ye needs it, I am willing to send half of them as scouts."
Seeing Liu Shilin being so stingy, Ye Mingsheng's face couldn't help but darken. The situation in Liujing was tense now, and danger could occur at any time. The key to breaking the situation was when reinforcements would arrive. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was eager to send scouts out of the city. The palace army was surrounded and contacted with the reinforcements coming for reinforcements.
After so many days of contact, Ye Mingsheng clearly realized that although the servants around Liu Shilin were servants in name, they were actually some dead soldiers trained by the Liu family. Although they were far inferior to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army in battle, They have a tacit understanding of cooperation and strong combat power, but when it comes to fighting alone and gathering information, the Imperial Guards soldiers are no match for them.
Therefore, at this juncture, these servants of the Liu family are undoubtedly more suitable as scouts to contact reinforcements than the soldiers of the Imperial Army.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Liu Shilin was also complaining in his heart. Of course he understood Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, and he also knew the critical nature of the current situation.
But Liu Shilin also had an unspeakable secret. In order to ensure their loyalty, these servants under him were all adopted from childhood. The Liu family provided them with food and shelter, hired martial arts masters to teach them martial arts, and spent a lot of money on medicinal materials to keep them healthy. It took more than ten years of energy and financial resources to train more than 200 people. It can be said that every one of them is the Liu family's treasure.
This time, in order to support Shen Jianzhong's rise to power in the Supervision Department, the Liu family could be said to have gone all out and used all their elites. All 200 servants were ambushed in Liu Jing.
In the battles in Liujing these days, Ye Mingsheng's Imperial Army soldiers and Heishanfeng's rural warriors suffered heavy casualties, and many of them were mobilized from Liu Shilin's side.
This has led to the fact that so far, more than fifty of the Liu family's servants have been killed in the battle alone, and with the addition of the disabled, there are even more injuries.
Although Liu Shilin's current servants who can fight definitely exceed the twenty people he mentioned, to be honest, they can't exceed that much.
Although Liu Shilin is the legitimate young master of the Liu family and the logical next head of the Liu family, this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. After all, he has younger brothers and cousins, and they all have the right to inherit the family. If Liu Shilin is not careful, he can easily be pulled down.
But now that these precious servants have suffered so many casualties in Liujing, it is already difficult for Liu Shilin to return to the family. As a scout to go out of the city to find reinforcements, he needs to break through the siege of the palace army. It is a narrow escape, or even ten deaths. Behavior, these people sent out may not survive, that's why Liu Shilin is so insistent.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds. With a sad look on his face, Liu Shilin bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"It's not easy to cultivate talents. Please leave some seeds for our Liu family, Brother Ye!"
Seeing Liu Shilin's low attitude, Ye Mingsheng, who had always been soft-spoken but not tough, felt embarrassed because he was forcing him too hard. After thinking about it, he took a step back and said, "Twenty people, not even one person." It can’t be less!”
"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Liu Shilin said with a wry smile and cupped his hands to Ye Mingsheng:
Although Liu Shilin was heartbroken when he thought about the possibility of twenty more casualties among his servants, he also understood that Ye Mingsheng had given him a lot of face. Otherwise, there was nothing he could do if Ye Mingsheng forced the recruitment. It can knock out teeth and swallow it in the stomach.
Although twenty people were asked to come from Liu Shilin, it was obvious that twenty people were not enough. Ye Mingsheng looked around at the generals and immediately ordered: "Gao Zuorong, Wang Xian, Lin Huaiwu, you three will be assigned separately." Ten people, as scouts, take action tonight!”
"yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists in unison and responded:
After discussing the official business, Ye Mingsheng discussed some other details with everyone before ending the meeting.
After the meeting, Ye Mingsheng was alone. Sitting in the tent, before he had time to rest, he found that his head was enveloped by a headache.
"His Male Gobi..."
Holding his head, Ye Mingsheng gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. In his previous life, he suffered from migraines due to staying up late. He never expected that as he traveled through time, this damn problem would also follow him. come over.
In his previous life, he was somewhat better because of the presence of painkillers. Now that he has no medicine, he can only rely on willpower to survive.
Lying on the desk, Ye Mingsheng bit his robe tightly, trying his best not to make a sound in pain.
Ye Mingsheng feels that he is extremely unlucky now. The disease has not come back long ago and he cannot have fun. He has to come together at this time. Is this because he is worried that he will not die?
After holding on for about a cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng felt that his headache was about to exceed his limit. When he reached the limit of pain, he heard a burst of brisk footsteps next to his ears. Before he could realize who it was, a cool Her little hand was on his wrist.
"She is coming!"
Feeling Pei Zhixiu's arrival, although Ye Mingsheng still had a headache, he felt a sense of peace of mind in his heart.
Biting her teeth, the serious-looking Pei Zhixiu checked Ye Mingsheng's pulse for a while, then gradually relaxed, then took out a medicine bottle that was kept close to her, poured out three small pills, and sent them to Ye Mingsheng. whispered softly on his lips:
"General Ye takes the medicine and the pain will stop after taking it!"
Although he didn't know what medicine Pei Zhixiu gave him, Ye Mingsheng, who had a severe headache at this time, didn't care about anything else and just swallowed the pills into his belly like a jujube.
As the pill entered his abdomen, after a while, Ye Mingsheng, who was sweating from the pain, was surprised to find that his headache began to slowly ease. At the same time, Pei Zhixiu's cool little hand was also on his temple, rhythmically. The rubbing started.
Under the dual effects of the pills and Pei Zhixiu's massage, Ye Mingsheng's expression began to become calmer. The fatigue after the pain made him a little drowsy, and he slowly fell asleep...
