Chapter 228: Disturbing the Army's Morale
One of the round-faced deputy generals walked up to General Zhao, took his arm and persuaded: "General Chu, don't have a conflict here with General Zhou in front of so many soldiers, bear with me, go to my camp first to dissipate your anger." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The other two walked up to Zhou Chengkuan's side and did not speak, but were obviously friendly with Zhou Chengkuan, staring at General Chu and the round-faced adjutant general with displeasure.
When General Chu heard that he was asked to "endure", he was even more angry, and shouted loudly: "He Zhou Chengkuan is not afraid of doing anything that violates military regulations, what is General Ben afraid of? Why let General Ben endure it?"
Zhou Chengkuan remained silent, and only said lightly: "Do you have any evidence?"
General Chu couldn't answer for a while, and the round-faced deputy general next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Please General Zhou to calm his anger, General Chu is also unhappy for the soldiers, not to embarrass General Zhou, please General Zhou don't have a disagreement with General Chu about this." ”
Zhou Chengkuan was overjoyed by this seemingly pleading, but in fact he disturbed the situation, smiled, and said: "According to what Vice General Liang said, should this general and all the soldiers be grateful to General Chu?"
Vice General Liang was speechless for a while, stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
General Chu saw that Vice General Liang was speaking for himself, but he was squeezed by Zhou Chengkuan's words, and he was immediately so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he shouted loudly: "Zhou Chengkuan, if you have a kind, call your two maids and let us all ask." ”
When Lin Wan turned his head to look at the big barracks again, he saw that the slender figure just now was gone. Lin Wan turned his head and asked Qingtong with his eyes.
Qingtong looked at the mountains and forests on the other side of the big barracks, and whispered in Lin Wan's ear: "That person just now had excellent light skills, and in a blink of an eye, he went into the forest over there, and the gale had already followed." ”
Lin Wan nodded, and seeing that no one outside the camp noticed his side, he pulled Qingtong back to the avenue quietly, and Qingtong carried the food box, still walking slowly towards the camp.
Zhou Chengkuan was the first to discover Lin Wan and looked at her, and his sharp gaze instantly became gentle.
Soon, everyone's eyes followed Zhou Chengkuan's gaze. Looking at the two inconspicuous little girls walking slowly with empty food boxes, I don't have to guess to know that these are Zhou Chengkuan's two maids, who are the initiators of this turmoil.
As if they didn't see everyone's gaze, Lin Wan and Qingtong walked up to Zhou Chengkuan, bent their knees, and said crisply: "General, Amu is here to return the food box, thank you for the general's care." When our son-in-law comes back, we will definitely report the truth and let him thank you well. ”
In just one sentence, Lin Wan clearly stated his identity, they were not Zhou Chengkuan's maids, and Zhou Chengkuan took care of them, not because of his own selfishness.
Zhou Chengkuan smiled slightly, and continued with her words: "Miss Amu doesn't have to be polite, Zhou Gongzi not only contributed money and efforts to help the Eastern Qi army buy grain and grass, but also risked his life. When I leave, I will take care of you, and of course I will keep my promises. However, now the conditions in the camp are too poor, and the two girls are still neglected, and I am deeply ashamed. ”
Lin Wan shook his head, with tears in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Although it is just green vegetables and white porridge, Amu eats very sweetly, and Amu feels very honored to be able to share the joys and sorrows with the battle heroes of the Eastern Qi army." What's more, General Zhou also gave us all three of his steamed buns, which really makes us grateful. ”
As soon as these words came out, a whisper suddenly sounded around: "So that's the case, General Chu really wronged General Zhou." ”
"Yes, General Zhou has never had a woman by his side, where is the maid, I already knew that it must be a misunderstanding. Someone chimed in.
Seeing that all the soldiers suddenly fell towards Zhou Chengkuan, Deputy General Liang was a little at a loss for a moment, so he quietly took a step back and stood behind General Chu.
General Chu pointed to the green vegetable leaves on the ground, and asked Lin Wan with a stalk around his neck, "You, you just said that the vegetables are really delicious, are you talking about these rotten vegetable leaves?"
Lin Wan took a step back and said timidly: "Back to the general's words, Amu thinks that these dishes are delicious, although they are not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but they are also made by the old man of the house, and the taste and heat are just right." There is also white rice porridge, although there are not many rice grains, but it is fragrant and delicious, every grain of rice is boiled and flowered, but it is not cooked too badly, it is really very rare!"
General Chu was speechless for a while, and the soldiers around him couldn't help but nod secretly.
The old man who had just delivered food to Lin Wan walked out of the room with tears in his eyes, hugged his fist to Lin Wan gratefully, shook his hand deeply, and said: "Thank you girl for speaking for my old man, my old man has worked in this camp all his life, and it is the first time to hear such comforting words. ”
Lin Wan hurriedly walked over, hugged the old man, and said, "Uncle, don't be like this, where can the juniors bear it? The juniors are just telling the truth." Your hard work, the soldiers are clear in their hearts, but now everyone is suffering and starving, and the anger is a little bigger, don't take it to heart. ”
The two soldiers who threw the steamed buns on the ground just now hurriedly picked up the steamed buns on the ground, patted them, fed them into their mouths and chewed them, and squeaked in their mouths: "Uncle Tong, don't be sad, we were wrong, we were wrong." ”
Uncle Tong waved his hand and said, "I don't care, but you did wronged General Zhou and the two girls, and the rice of these two girls was sent by me, except for the same white porridge and green vegetables as you, there are only three steamed buns under General Zhou's name." If you don't believe it, you can go to the room and see that there is really nothing, even the rice jar is empty. ”
There was another uproar in the field, and everyone was no longer entangled in the affairs of General Zhou and General Chu, but worried about whether they would not even have porridge to drink tomorrow.
General Chu roared again, his brass bell-like eyes swept over the soldiers in the field, and said: "Shut up for me, the matter of grain and grass is not something you should worry about, let me hurry up and go to the camp to change the guard, and those who should go back to the camp to rest and rest, and don't gather to make trouble!"
The soldiers said in unison, "Yes, General!" and continued to line up with their bowls to serve porridge, then crouched down to the side and gulped down.
General Chu walked in front of Zhou Chengkuan, hugged his fists and said: "General Zhou, Chu is reckless and almost caused a big disaster, I will go to the general to receive the punishment later, please forgive General Zhou!"
Zhou Chengkuan bowed his hand and replied: "General Chu doesn't have to take it to heart, it's good to figure things out, Zhou doesn't blame General Chu, it's just that General Chu's temper is too easy to be used by people with intentions, so you must think twice in the future." ”
General Chu was a straight man, nodded heavily, and said, "What General Zhou said is that Chu must be remembered and will not commit it again in the future." After saying that, he took his leave, turned and strode towards his tent. (To be continued.) )
