"Bai, Master Baihu, that boy Gu Sinian is back."
"What? Are you back? You're not dead yet?"
Zhang Lan, who heard the news from his confidant, looked disappointed:
"These Yan soldiers are not very good. They can't even deal with a few thieves and prisoners on death row."
Zhang Lan had originally not seen Gu Sinian and the others back in the city for three or two days, and Zhang Lan thought they were doomed. However, he didn't expect them to come back in the blink of an eye, which was really disappointing.
"Not all of them are back. It seems like about ten people died."
"As long as Gu Sinian dies, what's the use if the others die!"
Zhang Lan glared at his cronies:
"If I don't kill this kid, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"Sir, the younger one hasn't finished speaking yet."
The confidant smiled evilly and said:
"Although they came back, they lost their army rations. I heard that Fengsui fell and they were chased by Yan soldiers on the way!"
"Oh? Lost the military rations?"
A look of ferocity flashed across Zhang Lan's face:
"That's also a capital crime~
go! Call some of them over to me!
I want to be held accountable! "
…
"For your humble position, please see Mr. Baihu!"
In the military tent, Gu Sinian and Wu Xiang saluted Zhang Lan with clasped fists, while Zeng Lingchuan stayed in the camp to treat his injuries.
"Gu Sinian~"
Zhang Lan asked with his nostrils turned upward and his eyes narrowed:
"Since you've returned to the city, why don't you return to your base first?"
Gu Sinian replied calmly:
"Sir, it's not that you don't understand the rules.
It was actually because a brother was injured, so the villain wanted to take care of the injured first and then return to the adults. "
"Okay~"
Zhang Lan crossed her legs:
"Let's not argue with you about this matter for now. Let me ask you, has the food been delivered?"
"No."
Gu Sinian gritted his teeth and said:
"By the time the subordinates arrived at the beacon tower in Baozigou, the Yan army had already captured the beacon tower, so there was no point in sending food."
"The beacon was captured? Where is the food?"
"Lost.
In order to avoid the Yan army's pursuit, the young people had no choice but to abandon the grain cart. "
"boom!"
"Be bold!"
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Lan was waiting for this sentence. He slapped the table and shouted:
"Gu Sinian, do you know how important military rations are? Losing them is a serious crime!
Not to mention worrying about the Yan soldiers chasing you, even if the Yan soldiers put their knives on your necks, you still have to bring the food back to me!
Without a military order from the top, how could one give up food at will? "
"that is."
The crooked confidant spoke up from the side:
"According to the military regulations of our Liang army, anyone who loses military rations should be questioned and executed!
If the number is huge, all the people transporting grain will be killed! "
"You heard it!"
Zhang Lan said coldly:
"It's not that I deliberately want to embarrass you, it's the military discipline of my Liang Army!"
Facing the two men's aggressive confrontation, Gu Sinian remained silent. Wu Xiang, who had a bad temper, couldn't help it and shouted:
"Do you still know what right and wrong are?
I worked hard and risked my life to deliver food, and almost died on the road!
Forget it, but when we arrived at Fengsui, what was waiting for us was not our own people, but the Yan army's cavalry.
What's the use of protecting food at this time? Who is more important, people or food?
You keep saying military orders, military orders, I don't think you have a good heart! "
Wu Xiang spitted all over the place, and even though he was a few steps away, he just sprayed Zhang Lan with spittle on his face.
"presumptuous!"
The confidant pointed at Wu Xiang’s nose and yelled:
"How dare you make a noise in front of adults!
We don’t need to hear these reasons! We only act according to the law!
Losing military rations is a capital offense! "
"Asshole!"
Wu Xiang's face gradually turned red:
“We, brothers in our twenties, went out and twelve of them died for no reason.
When I come back, I won’t hear a single kind word from you, but you still want to kill us!
Offal! I'll beat you to death! "
The more Wu Xiang talked, the angrier he became, and he grabbed the henchman by the collar.
Even if Gu Sinian and others took the initiative to stay and break up the rear, not many of the civilians could escape, and most of them died in the pursuit of Yan soldiers.
Wu Xiang placed all of this debt on Zhang Lan's head.
Wu Xiang's angry eyes made his confidants tremble:
"Sir, look, this guy is rebelling, he's rebelling!"
"What's the use of calling him!"
Wu Xiang glared at Zhang Lan in turn:
"I'll beat him up later! Anyway, I'm barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes!"
Wu Xiang waved his fists as he spoke, and his fierce look was really a bit bluffing.
This sentence really frightened Zhang Lan. He was also a bully and he immediately looked at Gu Sinian tremblingly:
"Reverse, reverse!
Gu, Gu Sinian, please think clearly!
Rebellion is a major crime against the nine tribes! "
Gu Sinian yelled at Wu Xiang with wide eyes:
"How dare you disrespect Lord Baihu!
Let me go quickly! "
"Brother!"
Wu Xiang said angrily:
"Let them go, how can we be worthy of our dead brothers!
I won’t let go! "
"Asshole, you don't even listen to me?
I let you go! "
The two of them were talking to each other, and there was a faint tendency to quarrel. The confidant was pinched by Wu Xiang's neck and had difficulty breathing. He almost rolled his eyes.
"Don't let it go! I just won't let it go!"
"Let it go or not!"
"Don't let go!"
Seeing that Wu Xiang still refused to let go, Gu Sinian raised his leg and kicked him:
“Damn, you’re so brave!
Get out of here! Get out! "
Gu Sinian kicked Wu Xiang to the ground. Wu Xiang got up and was scolded, and then walked out of the house aggrievedly.
Zhang Lan and his henchmen were stunned for a moment. This was the first time they had seen Gu Sinian angry, and it was quite scary.
After scolding Wu Xiang away, Gu Sinian said with an apologetic smile:
"Sir Baihu, the people below do not understand the rules and have offended you. I hope you will be generous and don't argue with us people."
After Wu Xiang, a big and powerful man, left, Zhang Lan suddenly started to yell again and cursed endlessly:
"Okay, okay! You are so good!
Look, if I don't play him to death, I won't hang out in the military camp!
snort!
It's just a few thieves and an army, sneaky people, is it possible that they can still go to heaven? "
Zhang Lan didn't save any face for Gu Sinian, and scolded him no matter what.
Gu Sinian remained silent and waited until Zhang Lan was tired of scolding before saying:
"Sir, are you targeting us because of the food?"
Zhang Lan's face instantly turned cold and he said in a sinister voice:
"So, you admit that you stole the food?"
"yes."
Gu Sinian nodded noncommittally.
"Okay, okay! I really underestimated you!"
Zhang Lan laughed angrily:
"How dare you disturb Tai Sui?
It's okay, don't be in a hurry, we have plenty of time to play slowly. "
"Sir, please be patient!"
Gu Sinian didn't wait for Zhang Lan to continue scolding, and then said:
"Stealing the Lord's food is because the brothers were really hungry and had no choice but to do this.
In this matter, the villain is ignorant and has offended the adults. We deserve death.
But what kind of person is your lord? The leader of the army, the popular man in front of Captain Zhang, why should he care about us scumbags?
Don't worry, sir! Regarding food, the villain will definitely compensate the adults! "
Seeing that Gu Sinian bowed his head and apologized sincerely, Zhang Lan narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Compensation? Tell me, what are the ways to compensate?
Is it possible that you didn’t spend the money from selling the grains and can you still pay back the principal? "
"Ahem."
Gu Sinian took a step closer and whispered:
"Sir, the grain has been sold by the brothers, and we can't produce so much grain.
However, there is a great achievement at hand. If adults are interested, I can give it to them. "
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Zhang Lan was ready to get angry again, but the second half made him raise his head curiously:
"Great credit? What do you mean?"
"The Yan soldiers at Baozigou Fengsui!"
Gu Sinian said furtively:
"Isn't it because we bumped into Yan Bing that we lost our army rations?
Now that the Baozigou beacon tower is occupied, the generals must be furious! At this time, if your Excellency takes action to recover the beacon tower and kill those Yan soldiers, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?
By then, the reward from above alone will be enough to make up for your loss in food, and there will also be a huge military achievement recorded on your head.
Isn’t it beautiful? "
The confidant on the side said disdainfully:
"What kind of credit is this?
Those Yan soldiers are more powerful than the others. How can we defeat them? "
Zhang Lan nodded in agreement. He was so scared that the Yan soldiers attacked the city that day that he peed his pants.
"Hey, that's not right."
Gu Sinian waved his hand:
"I saw with my own eyes that the Yan soldiers who captured Fengsui were only twenty or thirty men, a small force, nothing to be afraid of.
Moreover, they had just captured Fengsui, so they would definitely be overly excited and unprepared.
At this time, we turn around and give them a sneak attack! Guaranteed victory!
Sir, think about it, there are dozens of heads of Yan thieves~"
Zhang Lan was really moved, stroking the beard on his chin and said:
"It makes sense, but I don't have many available troops~"
"Don't worry, sir!"
Gu Sinian said in a deep voice:
"My lord, just lead the team out of the city with peace of mind, and leave the attack on the barbarians to my brothers.
No matter how many people die, we don’t take any of the credit, it all belongs to the adults!
It can be regarded as our compensation to the adults.
Ahem, I just hope that you will show your respect and let us brothers go free in the future~"
Gu Sinian forced out a flattering smile and tried his best to please Zhang Lan.
"oh?"
The smile on Zhang Lan's face began to overflow:
"It's rare that you still have this heart, tsk tsk, not bad.
I got the right person.
Okay, then go back first and let Bentou think about it carefully! "
"promise!"
Watching Gu Sinian stride away, Zhang Lan looked at his cronies and asked:
"Do you think what he said is reliable?"
The crooked confidant whispered:
"Sir, I see that Gu Sinian has more than two hundred people under his command. It should be no problem to deal with twenty or thirty Yan soldiers, right?
We only need to lead the team out of the city, watch pretendingly, and let them fight the deadly battles, which is very comfortable.
The heads of dozens of Yan thieves and the recovery of the beacons were indeed a great achievement.
When the time comes, the credit will be in hand, and Lieutenant Zhang will be in front to protect you. In the future, will you not be able to rise to prominence in the army?
Hehe~
Moreover, when the adults are promoted in the future, and they go back to deal with these guys, isn’t it just like a hawk pinching a chick, holding it in both hands?
Let's take advantage of them now. "
"Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense!"
Zhang Lan laughed cheerfully:
“Then it’s settled!
You, you, your mind is spinning so fast, hahaha.
When I become rich, I will definitely not treat you badly! "
"Thank you, sir!"
"Hahaha!"
Laughing endlessly, this man from a hundred households has begun to dream of getting promoted and making a fortune.
…
On the other side, Gu Sinian didn't go far when he bumped into Wu Xiang who had been kicked by him, and asked with concern:
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!"
Wu Xiang looked around and asked in a low voice:
"how?"
Gu Sinian smiled strangely:
"The fish took the bait~"
