Gao Can watched as the team led by Shao Xi slaughtered all the soldiers in the camp in an instant, and also directed his men to deal with the aftermath in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Unexpectedly, the greedy and narrow-minded Kyoto official in the eyes of himself and Zhao Huajun turned out to be such a murderous, decisive, cold-blooded and cruel person. They really missed him at first.
Shao Xi turned around and glanced at Gao Can, and said with a smile: "What? Mr. Gao has never seen anyone kill someone? Or has he never seen so many people killed at once? Now you should believe that I am a person who does what I say, right? ?You are lucky, because you are useful to me, so you have the opportunity to let me forgive you. Now you have done the first thing, and you are not suitable to be present for the next thing. I asked Lao Wu to hide with you Go into the warehouse, and it's best not to look outside when you hear the sound of fighting, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept that scene."
Shao Xi's words were like a cold knife. The blade was scratching back and forth against Gao Can's neck, making him feel that his life would be ended by this knife at any time. This fear made him feel cold.
At this time, he had no doubt that Shao Xi had said before that all he had to do to kill him was to move his fingers. Even if he could destroy the Zhao family, it would probably only be a matter of raising his hands.
Gao Can's face was pale at this time, and his head was covered with sweat. He did not dare to answer Shao Xi's words, but bowed respectfully to Shao Xi to show his submission.
Looking at Shao Xi's harmless smile in front of him, Gao Can felt for the first time that he was so scary. Just by moving his fingers while talking and laughing, dozens of lives disappeared in his hands, but it seemed that he was just doing something ordinary. He was deeply afraid that he had offended such a person, and believed that the Zhao family would also regret having offended such a person.
Lao Wu took Gao Can and hid in one of the warehouses. He asked Lao Wu to stay with him not because he was afraid that Lao Wu might be injured, nor because he wanted Lao Wu to protect him, but because he wanted Lao Wu to watch him.
A person who can betray the Zhao family can certainly betray himself. Shao Xi will never trust a traitor who has no bottom line.
The reason why Shao Xi believes in Gao Guang is, on the one hand, because Gao Guang has no way out and can only turn to his side, but more importantly, on the other hand, Gao Guang has refused to tell him who his employer is and has always adhered to his own behavior. The bottom line principle of assassins, so Shao Xi can choose to trust him.
In fact, there is a certain tacit understanding between Shao Xi and Gao Guang. Even if Gao Guang doesn't tell, Shao Xi knows who his employer is. Gao Guang also knows that Shao Xi knows who his employer is, but Gao Guang will not tell Shao Xi directly. Instead, he chose to agree to testify for Shao Xi and identify the Zhao family.
In other words, he could tell others, but he couldn't tell Shao Xi. Even if Shao Xi could hear it standing nearby, he would not tell Shao Xi.
It sounds a bit self-deceiving, but many things in this world are inherently deceiving oneself.
…
…
It has been quiet for a long time. Although the camp in the military depot can hear the sound of horns and war drums coming from four directions, and occasionally you can faintly hear the shouts of killing coming from the distance, the military depot has always been peaceful. , Shao Xi even became a little impatient in waiting. This was completely different from what he expected, in which the army depot was surrounded by people, and he and the soldiers of the 100-man team fought desperately to support and protect the army depot.
This seemed a bit embarrassing. Before, I looked very smart and personally led a team to raid the military depot. Naturally, I regarded this place as extremely important.
I don’t know if they got a red eye and forgot to pick up the armor, or they were beaten so badly that they couldn’t come at all, or maybe this group of rebels simply forgot that such a thing existed?
But when he thought that no one was paying attention to him, Shao Xi thought to himself, is this really okay for you? Do you respect me like this?
Shao Xi sat on a rock in the camp, depressed to death.
I didn't know how long I sat like this, but suddenly I heard the soldiers at the camp gate shouting: "Who is it? You are not allowed to approach the military depot without permission? Otherwise, you will be shot to death!"
Shao Xi became excited all of a sudden, jumped up and ran towards the camp gate, thinking that now there was finally a fight, and at least he wouldn't be so embarrassed when people asked him after the siege was over.
But before anyone could reach the camp gate, they heard someone shouting from outside the camp gate: "Master Shao, is he here? I am Sun Jue! I have completed the encirclement and suppression here, and no one has been missed. I am here to inform Master Shao."
Shao Xi stopped running towards the camp gate. What was this guy yelling for? Have you completed the encirclement and suppression? Good guy, is this too fast? Besides, you don’t know how to do this! At least leave two for me, otherwise wouldn't it seem like I have no sense of existence? How embarrassing now!
But after all, they are here to find you, so you can't just ignore them just because of this vanity thing, right? Shao Xi regrets it now! If I had known that this work would be done by others, wouldn't it be more powerful and domineering to charge and kill the enemy myself?
Walking quickly to the camp gate, I saw soldiers from the Centurion opening the camp gate. Sun Jue led his team into the camp, followed by a group of rebels who were captured alive. They were all seriously injured and dejected. , no fighting spirit at all.
As soon as he saw Sun Jue, he burst into laughter, raised his hands and saluted Shao Xi, and kept praising him: "Your Excellency, you really have a clever plan. This group of thieves really had the intention to break through and come to the arsenal. Fortunately, Your Excellency, you let us divide our troops to outflank them." , and ended up intercepting them halfway. Now that the bandit garrison in the northeast has been completely removed by us, every one of these bandits has been left dead or injured, and all the living ones have been captured by us. We all rely on Master Shao for his strategic planning, Master Shao is indeed a man of great talent and military prowess."
"Well, ha, ha ha..."
Shao Xi really couldn't tell whether Sun Jue's praise of him was sincere or whether he was mocking himself. He won a big victory, so he led a small team of people to have a little fuss here. Now he wants to take the credit for himself. It sounds like he is mocking himself no matter what.
"Master Shao, my side has completed the encirclement and suppression, and my sergeants are cleaning the battlefield. Now I have a lot of captured wounded soldiers. It is really inconvenient to take them to support other directions. I plan to temporarily place these wounded soldiers in Sir, please take care of this place for me, so I can lead troops to support the encirclement and suppression of the other three counties. After all, we can’t just sit back and watch when people come to help us!"
When Shao Xi heard this, he said, "What?" Damn it! Do you regard my place as a prisoner of war shelter and wounded soldiers camp? Good guy! Let me show you the wounded soldiers, and you go out to grab the credit. Don't I want to lose face?
Just as he was about to object, Sun Jue suddenly knelt down in front of him with a plop. Shao Xi was so frightened that he almost ran away without wiping his head.
My heart said, maybe I took the wrong medicine! How come you were talking so well and suddenly fell to your knees?
"Master Shao, I admire Master Shao so much after today's battle. I think back then, when Master Shao first came to Yujiang City, I and my brother-in-law once misunderstood you, thinking that you were a corrupt official like Zhao Huajun, but I didn't want you to You were so far-sighted and put on a good show to confuse the Zhao family. Later, you personally came to discuss the annihilation of the Zhao family with my brother-in-law. Mr. Shao is so open-minded and does not care about our previous disrespect for you. I really admire you. . Especially for this round of encirclement and suppression of these bandit troops, your Excellency made arrangements in advance and was able to interlock with each other, making our army's encirclement and suppression operation so smooth. I really admire you so much. Now, Mr. Shao only leads more than a hundred people deep into the area. With enemies on all sides, we have captured this vital arsenal. What kind of bravery and wisdom is this? Your Excellency, sitting in the middle of the army and commanding it well, this encirclement and suppression will be a complete victory. Please accept my sincerity here. Sincerely bow."
After saying that, Sun Jue actually kowtowed his head "boom boom boom".
Shao Xi was a little numb by Sun Jue all of a sudden. Where is this going? Do you have too much inner drama? I didn’t even think that much about it, but you actually praised me so highly. Did you do it on purpose?
But seeing Sun Jue kowtowing so loudly, it didn't seem like he was being hypocritical. Shao Xi couldn't say anything else and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Sun Jue up.
"I've passed it! Mr. Sun, you've gone too far. Where can I have such things as you said, which are in the sky but not on the earth? It's just a temporary idea, and it doesn't matter where you go. But there is no such thing as Mr. Sun. It's so mysterious. Speaking of which, it's really not easy for Mr. Cui and Mr. Sun to endure humiliation and heavy burden for so many years. Mr. Sun is the one who directed this siege. I'm just taking advantage of it. The person who really contributed to Yujiang County is Mr. Cui and Mr. Sun, at best I can be considered a helper, but you don’t dare to take credit.”
After hearing what Shao Xi said, Sun Jue became even more excited and said with a look of infatuation: "I never expected that Mr. Shao, a talented young man with a literary and military skills, could be so humble and humble. The subordinates admired him even more. From now on, my lord, I will give you orders." , My brother-in-law and I will look up to Master Shao, and we are willing to ride for Master Shao."
When Shao Xi heard that this was not possible, he couldn't let him praise him any more. If he continued to praise him, he would float to the sky, so he had better let him go quickly!
Nowadays, I find that people who speak harshly to others make people feel uncomfortable, but people who speak kind words sometimes also make people feel unbearable.
"Master Sun, please place these captured wounded soldiers here and let us take care of them. You will immediately lead your troops to support the other three counties. You must annihilate all the enemy troops and completely eliminate the rebels in Yujiang County. This is a pet peeve."
Sun Jue stood up, bowed his hands to Shao Xi, bowed deeply, and replied respectfully: "I will obey Master Shao's order and swear to annihilate all the enemy troops. Please rest assured, sir. If there is any mistake, I will be willing to accept the punishment. "
"Well! I am here to wish Mr. Sun another new achievement, and I am waiting for good news from Mr. Sun."
"Thank you, Master Shao!"
After saying that, Sun Jue left all the captured rebel wounded soldiers in the military depot camp, and led his troops towards the battlefield in Liantai County in the northwest.
Shao Xi is depressed! It was the first time that someone praised me so much, and I was so depressed. I was obviously just a jobber now, but I was said to be someone who coordinated the overall situation, made long-term plans, and devised ingenious plans.
The whole thing was designed by himself. Shao Xi did not object to this statement, but he had to rush there step by step. How could there be any advance layout or careful planning? Even he didn't believe it!
Just like this, if he had known that he would become the leader of a prisoner of war camp and a wounded soldier camp, he would not have come here even if he was killed!
well! Does this count as digging a hole to bury yourself?
