187: Xiaocheng chaos (twenty-seven) [asking for monthly votes](1/2)
This night is destined to be restless.
The bearded man had a livid face as he listened to the officials reporting the losses caused by the fire. The baggage and food supplies were severely damaged, eight out of ten, and almost no siege equipment was left - most of those things were made of wood and could not be used again once they caught fire.
used.
In comparison, the casualties were not significant.
More than 200 people died, more than 300 people were burned, about 200 people were trampled by cattle and sheep, and about 200 people were injured and disabled. Nearly a hundred tents were burned down by sparks from the sky.
The bearded man had a sullen face: "Are you done?"
The subordinate officer was so cold that he shivered from the ice in his words.
Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Return, report completed——"
After the words fell, the bearded man raised his hand angrily and threw up the low table in front of him. His face trembled from the exertion. He stared at the subordinate officer with a pair of big copper eyes who did not dare to breathe, and roared: "Reply finished? Man?"
Where have people gone?"
A chorus of crackling sounds and roars.
Hot sweat was dripping from the official's forehead and he did not dare to move.
The solemn atmosphere in the main tent was extremely solemn.
"The humble position...the humble position didn't stop them..."
The bearded man casually grabbed an object and threw it at the officer's forehead, scolding: "Asshole! How many of them are there? You can't even catch them, so what's the use of you? In the heart of the military camp, a group of thugs not only come and go freely, but they also ask for help."
It’s not a shame to burn the baggage!”
The subordinate officials didn't even dare to dodge.
I took this blow hard.
A loud bang exploded in my ears.
Warm blood dripped from his forehead. The blood was mixed with sweat and plant ash. It flowed down his forehead. Some of it flowed along his cheeks and into his chin, while the other part flowed into the corners of his eyes. The officer blinked and did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it away.
Let the dirt roam around in your eyeballs.
He pursed his lips and swallowed what was in his heart.
If you really care about responsibility, the general in front of you who is openly fighting with his concubine in the heart of the military camp, fighting fiercely and making noise that can be heard in several nearby camps, is not a good thing.
When it comes to dereliction of duty, everyone is half-assed.
But as a subordinate, he couldn't complain, let alone speak his mind. An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of someone.
"Jiji, I really tried my best! It's just that two of the four gangsters were brought in by the Major General. I don't dare to arrest them, just in case the Major General..."
The subordinate officer paused when he said this, showing some embarrassment, "It's not that I am afraid of the young general due to my humble position, but I am worried that this matter will affect your relationship with the young general, and the old general..."
All he had to do was tell the bearded man openly——
It's not that I'm derelict in my duties! Those bad guys were brought back by the barbarian with bad intentions. He will come to clean up later, how can I handle it? In addition, you are partial, even if the barbarian made such a big mistake, he will probably be dealt with lightly.
Handle with care.
This time the blame should be placed on the barbarian!
The bearded man was already feeling anxious in his heart, but after hearing the officer's strange words, he almost fell down in anger.
He was so angry that he crushed the paperweight in his hand, grinding his back molars and asked, "Where is that scoundrel now?"
The official said: "Applying medicine to heal the wound."
The bearded man sneered twice and said: "Cure the injury? Apply medicine? Will he get hurt again? I'm afraid it's a cruel trick!"
Who should use the bitter meat scheme?
Aren’t you looking at that old guy with a unclear mind?
Huo Di stood up and strode towards the young man's camp.
He wanted to see how much damage the barbarian could get!
The young man was indeed injured.
The injury is not considered minor.
Shen Tang's words turned the black and white literary spirit into fireworks, and most of them fell on the young man. It was the first time for the young man to see this scene. He had no experience and relied solely on his own strength.
Fly away, shoot down, and smash the incoming sparks. The sparks that are not taken into consideration will condense into a gang and be carried down forcefully!
Although Wu Qi can resist the close proximity of sparks, and can also protect against cold and heat to a certain extent, it cannot completely isolate the frightening heat. This is also the main reason for the injury of the young man - the temperature of the sparks condensed by Wen Qi is frighteningly high, and if it continues longer, it can He's cooked.
Although the young man was not roasted, there were large blisters on his back, and his arms and chest were as red as a cooked crayfish.
He took off his shirt and piled it casually around his waist.
Behind him, the doctor carefully opened the blisters and squeezed them clean, and then applied mint-colored plaster. The coolness dispelled the burning heat where the plaster was applied. The young man covered his face with a cold cloth and said in a muffled voice: "Humph, fortunately this The face is still intact.”
There is no handsome face in his clan, and no Mama is willing to sing duets with him. This face is as important as his voice!
"How long has it been and you still care about your face?" The subordinate officer stood on one side and smiled bitterly, "You should think about what to do later..."
The young man pursed his lips: "What are you thinking about?"
The official said: "Think about how to explain..."
The young man threw the warm cloth into the copper basin filled with cold water and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to explain, and he can't do anything to me. If I are to blame for my careless act of luring a wolf into the house, I must first hold him to account for his negligence." Duty, you have to be punished together..."
The official was speechless.
The young man spread his hands and said without hesitation: "I didn't know that there was something wrong with those two people. Can you blame me? I also tried my best to stop them, but when I beat four, two of them were still powerful Wenxin scholars. How do I keep them?”
After saying that, a bearded man's roar came from outside the tent.
"Bad beast! Do you still think you are right?"
The young man was not surprised at all that the man was eavesdropping outside the tent, and said innocently: "I was wrong, but at least 30% of it was wrong. What's more, I tried hard to 'make up for it'. How long did it delay the four of them? But Brother Fan sent someone to support in time, I won’t let those four people escape.”
The bearded man was so angry that his beard twitched.
After the doctor had finished bandaging, the young man stood up, lazily put on the coat that hung around his waist, straightened his clothes, and looked innocent with a fearlessness that annoyed the bearded man.
"It's true that I brought two of these gangsters back! But the other two were brought back by the soldiers sent by my sworn brother. It's still unclear which two of the four took action."
The bearded man was so angry that his eyes were about to burst!
"You dare——"
The young man smiled, narrowed his eyes, pushed back, and sneered: "Why don't you dare? It's better to wait until the adoptive father comes to decide the right and wrong. If the adoptive father decides that the younger brother is fully responsible, how many soldiers will be killed?
The stick, I will bear it."
Suddenly, the bearded man's eyes widened.
He was shocked by the shameless behavior of the young dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Was he sure that he would be fine???
That’s not true!
That’s not true!
"According to the schedule, my adoptive father will arrive in six or seven days, and our army has run out of food and grass. Why don't we gather our soldiers and horses to discuss how to survive these days? If we can't take Xiaocheng, it won't matter.
That group of shrimp soldiers and crabs will be wiped out, so it’s a shame!”
The rush made the bearded man smell much heavier.
His nostrils flared slightly, blowing out angry hot breath.
The young man didn't even look at him and lowered his eyes to see the guest off.
The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait! I, the general, want to see how you can get away with colluding with foreign enemies! Anyone who comes, keep an eye on him, and you can't even step out of the camp at this moment!"
The young man didn't care. He kicked over the low table blocking the way and didn't even bother to maintain the basic etiquette of seeing off guests. His subordinates secretly thought, "Unlucky", and hurriedly bowed and followed, regardless of whether the bearded man was angry or not.
One Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Hearing the bearded man throwing the curtain angrily and walking away, the young man's depressed mood improved a lot. He took out a box of large longan pearls of different colors, called his subordinates over, and said with a smile: "It's okay now.
Come on, play two games with me."
Subordinate officer: "..."
The young man said again: "Oh, what a pity."
The subordinate officer couldn't restrain his curiosity: "What's a pity?"
The young man said: "My close friend, what a pity."
Subordinate officer: "..."
He didn't understand what the pity was at all.
Although he was not on the battlefield and did not see the confrontation between Shen Tang and the young man, he knew the final result. It was precisely because of this "bosom friend" that the young man was afraid that he would be beaten with a military stick, otherwise he would not be able to quell the public anger...
Major General, do you still feel sorry for that man?
The young man sighed: "A lot of money is easy to get, but a close friend is hard to find... Mama may be the only person in the world who can sing duets with me..."
The subordinate officer was about to say something.
To be continued...
