Chapter 118: Undercurrents are surging

As soon as the sky was hazy, Ye Wuwu and Zhao Renjie found two fast horses and prepared to set off after resigning from Baili Changkun.

Putting on the robe and armor of Bailiyao's past, a heavy sense of responsibility instantly surged into my heart. Although Ye Wuwu's former homeland and Yeliang were enemies, but now in order to play the role of Baili Yao, he can only shoulder the burden of protecting his family and defending the country, even if not for the sake of the emperor, but also for the dawn people of the frontier.

In front of the General's Palace, a ragged beggar got into an argument with the family at the door.

"Take the food and leave quickly, why do you come every day?"

The housekeeper at the door wondered.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The old beggar held the steamed bun with white flowers, grinned, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he was about to break into the house without saying anything.

"Eh, why don't you listen to the greetings, let you go quickly, and you still break in. ”

One by one, the two strong men set up the old beggar and were about to throw it out.

"Stop!"

At this time, Ye Wuwu happened to walk to the door and immediately blocked the way.

"Major General!"

The two family members were stunned and hurriedly put down the struggling old beggar.

Seeing this, the old beggar's eyes lit up, and taking advantage of the slack work of the two family members, he rushed to Ye Wuwu as soon as he slipped away, knelt on the ground, hugged his thighs and kept shouting: "Eat! eat!

"Presumptuous, since I saved you last time, why do you keep coming to the General's Mansion to entangle?"

Zhao Renjie on the side said unhappily.

"General Zhao, don't be rude!"

Ye Wuwu said slowly, although he was also surprised how this old beggar could target him, but he still politely helped him up.

"Old uncle, what are you looking for me?"

Ye Wuwu asked patiently with a gentle face. Only then did I find that the old beggar in front of me was actually met on the street that day.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

The old beggar smiled and raised the steamed bun to Ye Wuwu's mouth.

"Eat, old uncle, I'm not hungry. ”

Ye Wuwu said again and again.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

The old beggar frowned, still shouting unrelentingly.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Ye Wuwu had no choice but to take the steamed bun and take a bite.

Although the old beggar's hands were dirty and black, the steamed bun did not leave a trace of stain after he pinched it in his hand.

"Old uncle, you see I'm done eating. ”

Ye Wuwu smiled and stuffed the last bit of steamed bun into his mouth.

Only then did the old beggar smile smile with satisfaction.

"Old uncle, since you reward me with a steamed bun, then I will fulfill your wish. ”

Ye Wuwu said with a smile.

"Good good ......"

The old beggar danced excitedly and laughed merrily.

"Well, it's inconvenient for me to have military affairs now, and I'll make good on my promise when I get back. In the days when I am away, you can come to the general's palace every day to beg for food, and I will order my subordinates to prepare it for you, and if anyone is rude to you, I will definitely punish you severely when I come back. ”

Ye Wuwu said seriously.

Hearing this, the old beggar clapped his hands and nodded, and his appearance was very funny.

Ye Wuwu immediately turned to the family at the door and said, "Did you hear what I said just now?"

"Hear, Major General, we will take care of this old man according to your instructions, you can rest assured. ”

The two housekeepers lowered their heads and reassured again and again.

"Good. ”

After everything was arranged, Ye Wuwu and Zhao Renjie rode on fast horses and headed towards the north gate of the capital.

Looking at the two moving figures that gradually disappeared into the horizon, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of the old beggar's mouth.

On the way, Zhao Renjie was puzzled: "Young General, why are you so concerned about that beggar? ”

"Hahaha, General Zhao really doesn't understand? Our marching and fighting are ostensibly to protect the emperor's country, but the core is to let the people live a good life, so why is the old beggar not one of the people of Dawn?"

Ye Wuwu talked eloquently.

"The young general's kindness is really the gospel of the people in the frontier. ”

Zhao Renjie said approvingly.

"General Zhao doesn't need to slap his beard, once this battle starts, there will definitely be a large number of refugees going south, and how to settle them is the top priority. ”

Ye Wuwu said solemnly.

"The last will understand. ”

After about three days, Ye Wuwu and Zhao Renjie arrived at the Baili camp in northern Xinjiang.

"Welcome Major General and Vice General Zhao!"

I saw an old man in golden armor leading a group of generals out of the tent to greet him.

According to Bai Liyao's memory, Ye Wuwu also roughly knew the basic situation of everyone present, and immediately jumped off his horse and said: "Generals, you don't have to be polite, this battle is under the full command of my father." ”

As he spoke, he handed over Baili Changkun's handwritten letter to the old man in Jinjia.

"This?"

The old man in Jinjia looked solemn after reading the letter.

"What, what is General Huang's opinion?"

Ye Wuwu said indifferently.

"There is no opinion, since the old general personally ordered it, then the general is willing to follow the major general and obey the command of the major general. ”

General Huang hurriedly bowed his hand.

At this point, the rest of the generals also echoed the words.

And Ye Wuwu didn't know what a few people thought, it was just that he felt that he was young and vigorous, and it was difficult to convince the public with little war experience. The most important thing for people in the army is the commanding power, a cohesive iron army is inseparable from an excellent general, what Ye Wuwu wants to do is that general, and this is also conducive to his next plan.

Thinking that at the beginning of the plain pass, the Qin family army of Wudou Villa wanted to keep himself in the army, but he didn't expect that feng shui would take turns, and he still couldn't get rid of his military career after all......

"General Huang, I wonder what happened to the army in the past few days?"

In the tent, Ye Wuwu discussed with the generals.

"Major General, please look!" General Huang pointed to a few small blue flags on the sand table and said, "According to the spies, Hou Chen transferred the main army out of our country's border yesterday and is now entrenched in the Yinshan area. ”

"How could you suddenly withdraw your troops?" Ye Wuwu said secretly, his eyes swept over the sand table, and finally stopped at a red dot, "What is this place?"

"Alas......" General Huang glanced at it and couldn't bear to sigh, "This is a small town in the northern Xinjiang of my country, Beiyuan Town. Yesterday, it was raided by a group of elite soldiers from behind, and now it has fallen, and no one has survived. I sent reinforcements, but when I arrived, I found that the enemy had already retreated, leaving only devastated houses and corpses everywhere, so I had to withdraw my soldiers again. ”

"Damn!" Ye Wuwu was indignant, and reprimanded, "How did you do it, knowing that the border war was about to break out, why didn't you evacuate the people first?"

"Huh?" General Huang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained, "The young general is angry, there are many capitals in this northern Xinjiang, if we focus on evacuating the people, once the army is pressed in, ......the consequences will be unimaginable! So ......"

"So you give up the evacuation and let the enemy slaughter my innocent people who are cold at night?" Ye Wuwu asked indignantly, "Is this what the old general taught you on weekdays?"

"The old general said that everything should focus on the overall situation......"

General Huang lowered his head, and his voice was extremely low.

"Stupid! At this time, you are still arguing with General Ben! The people are the foundation of the country, if a country does not even know how to love its own people, what is the use of winning many battles?" Ye Wuwu slapped the sand table and said sharply, "You are limited to evacuate all the people in northern Xinjiang to a safe place within three days, and if there is a mistake, the military law will deal with it!"

"Yes!"

The generals did not dare to slack off, and responded in unison.

Originally, I wanted to rely on Ye Wuwu's youth and lack of qualifications to suppress him, but I didn't think about it, but I was frustrated and arrogant, and one by one the generals left the camp with ugly faces.

Seeing that Ye Wuwu came up so resolutely, Zhao Renjie also secretly admired.

"Major General, why don't you go with the other generals to take charge of the evacuation of the people?"

"You don't have to go, you can stay in the camp and watch every move. Ye Wuwu gradually calmed down and said indifferently, "I have to go to Beiyuan Town to have a look, it is impossible for Houchen to raid a small town for no reason, there must be something greasy in this." ”

As a martial artist, his intuition told him that everything was far from being as simple as it seemed.

At this time, in the dimly lit underground palace of the Yeliang Imperial City, a group of black-clothed people were busy, and terrible screams continued to be heard from the surrounding shadows.

"How's it going?

Yu Zhaoyin asked coldly.

I saw a man in white put down the medicine pestle and bowed his head and said, "Back to the master, this half of my life is running out, I am afraid it will affect the process of pill development." ”

Hearing this, You Zhaoyin frowned and asked the black-clothed man on the other side, "Li Shao, hasn't the disciple sent out by this seat to find the half-life relationship come back yet?"

Li Shao was stunned for a moment, and said in fear: "Go back to ...... Back to the master, the disciples' natal soul cards you sent out have all been broken. ”

You must know that as soon as this natal soul card is broken, it means that the corresponding person has fallen.

"What?" Yu Zhaoyin's eyes widened, and he came to Li Shao's side in an instant, grabbed his collar and said, "Say it again!"

Seeing this, Li Shao was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again: "The boss is angry, it's a small thing that is not good, please give me another chance!"

"A bunch of waste! I tried my best to bring you out when I was slaughtering the Sect of the Curse Hidden Sect, but I didn't expect you to repay this seat like this!"

Yu Zhaoyin said angrily.

"Ask the head to give me another chance, I will definitely atone for my sins!"

Li Shao pleaded again.

"Hmph!" Yu Zhaoyin snorted coldly and threw him to the ground, "If you fail again, then you will end up like those people, suffering endless torture and dying in despair!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Listening to the terrible scream, Li Shao's heart was furious, and he ran towards the gate of the underground palace with a crawl.
