Chapter 119: The Sword
"W-What? Retirement? General Song's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You hear me so well that I don't think I need to repeat it." Xie Xiaoman said with a chuckle.
She suppressed her cough twice, and the sword seemed to have injured her lungs as well.
"Since General Song is the general of the border army, I think this should not be something that cannot be done." Xie Xiaoman smiled, "Moreover, this itself doesn't have any loss for General Song, does it?" Could it be that General Song really wanted to end his life for such a trivial matter as military merit? ”
The sword in General Xie Xiaoman's hand moved closer to General Song's side.
"Nope! No! I'll give the order! That's the order! General Song trembled, trembling like chaff, and almost peed his pants. He saw Jiang Beihai on the side with the corner of his eye, and immediately shouted angrily: "Jiang Beihai!" What else are you doing here! I didn't hear Immortal Master Xie's order! Why don't you hurry up and go to Mingjin to collect the troops! Go back to Hukou Town for General Ben! ”
When Jiang Beihai heard this, he didn't make any moves, just quietly looked at the two people in front of him.
"You didn't hear what Lao Tzu said! I'll let you call it in! Collect the troops! General Song's voice was already hoarse, and he even cried, and his voice trembled as if he was singing.
Xie Xiaoman turned his head to look at Jiang Beihai, he had already guessed that he might be a variable, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to deal with.
Jiang Beihai didn't speak, his eyes wandered slightly, and he looked at Xie Xiaoman.
Those eyes were still unwavering, quiet and almost beautiful.
There was a smell of scrutiny in the quiet eyes. As if he wanted to see her soul through Xie Xiaoman's eyes, it was cold and quiet. But it's enough to burn people easily.
And at this time, Xie Xiaoman was also looking at Jiang Beihai. She was constantly refining her judgment about Jiang Beihai in her mind, thinking about the choices he might make from all his performances, from the evaluations and statements she had heard about him, and everything about Jiang Beihai in her mind.
Nearby, the soldiers had already gathered. They had already shown their blades, but no one stepped forward.
Although there has been a guess in my heart for a long time. But when he really saw the performance of the soldiers, Xie Xiaoman was still shocked.
The soldiers all looked at Jiang Beihai, and no one looked at General Song's orders.
Although General Song is their top boss. Jiang Beihai is just a lieutenant general. But it is clear that no one cares about General Song's opinion, and no one really obeys his orders.
General Song naturally realized this, so he began to sob.
It's a real sob. The whole body almost began to cramp slightly.
Xie Xiaoman looked at Jiang Beihai. Tilting his head slightly, thinking that the sword in his hand seemed to be on the wrong neck. The head of this army is not on the sword of today.
"General Jiang, if you send troops now, you won't get any benefits. The Yan army has already received the news of your march and has already made preparations. They're leisurely, you think. What are your odds of winning? ”
Today, action doesn't speak for itself. So Xie Xiaoman began to talk nonsense.
"I heard that this border army in Hukou Town was brought out by you, General Jiang. General Song can use human lives to stack up military exploits, but you, you will never do this, will you? This kind of despise of human life, especially to waste the lives of his brothers in exchange for his own interests and military merits, is definitely not something that General Jiang will do, will it? ”
"As for this General Song, I believe that General Jiang, you don't care much about his life and death. It's just that if General Song really dies here, the court will investigate it, and you won't be able to deal with it, right? ”
"I believe that General Jiang is a tough guy who is not afraid of things that should be done. But you have to think about your robes. If General Jiang is taken to Beijing for questioning, or even imprisoned because of General Song's death, who will these thousands of brothers in Hukou Town fall into? ”
"If only your successor were a man who was sympathetic to the military. But if there is another General Song, and you are out of reach in prison, when the time comes, what else can General Jiang do besides blaming himself? ”
Xie Xiaoman said a little too much, and coughed violently again.
Jiang Beihai looked at her quietly, and only after she finished coughing did he slowly applaud.
"Miss Xie has courage and knowledge, and she has a three-inch tongue, which is really admirable." Jiang Beihai finally said the first sentence in such a long time, "It's just that, since Miss Xie said, until now, General Song will hold a grudge against me no matter what." Even if he returns to the capital alive, it is inevitable that he will not reverse black and white and say something unfavorable to someone in my Jiang, when the time comes, what should I do? ”
"It's easy." Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly, raised his left hand, drew a talisman seal in the void, and slapped General Song's body.
"This! What is it! General Song only felt a warm flow into his arms, scattered into his limbs, and couldn't help but be terrified.
Xie Xiaoman didn't pay attention to him, but smiled at Jiang Beihai and said: "I printed a tongue breaker on him, in the future, let alone mentioning today's matter, as long as he says the three words 'Jiang Beihai', his whole body will move against the current and die violently." ”
Jiang Beihai listened, and finally a faint smile appeared on his face. But his eyes were still cold.
"Miss Xie is thoughtful, and I admire someone in Jiang. That being the case, I have nothing to say. Jiang Beihai looked around and raised his breath, "Brothers! Mingjin! Collect the troops! ”
The order was forbidden, and the army finally began to circulate.
Although General Song's face was extremely pale, the nerves that had been tense at this time were more or less relaxed.
"Xie, Xie Xianshi, you can let me go this time!" General Song pleaded bitterly.
"Of course you can," Xie Xiaoman smiled and removed the long sword in his hand, and turned over and dismounted, "Today's matter, there are more General Song." ”
General Song almost got off the horse, and after his legs landed, he couldn't stand at all, and the whole person sat directly on the ground, and his body was still shaking badly.
Jiang Beihai stepped forward, picked up the long sword on the ground with his right hand, and made a gesture with his left hand to help him: "General Song, I'm disturbed." ”
Xie Xiaoman's chest injury was too serious, so he frowned slightly at this time, and took a hemostatic charm again.
At this moment, the mutant was born!
After Jiang Beihai helped General Song up, before the latter could take a step, the long sword in his hand, which was already stained with blood, stabbed into General Song's body again.
This sword still pierces the heart.
General Song looked at him in disbelief and opened his mouth, but did not utter any words. Only the sound of blood came out of his throat, and then he simply collapsed.
The whole process was simple and almost elegant, and everyone around saw it, but no one made a sound.
The soldiers withdrew again, walking quietly and silently.
"Although Miss Xie was very thoughtful, she still forgot a question." Jiang Beihai wiped the blood on his long sword and put the sword into the sheath, "Even if General Song can't say my name anymore, he can still write." Even if he can't write, he can recognize it. Unless he died, today's events were likely to be known by the nobles in the capital. ”
Xie Xiaoman stopped talking, she stopped all movements, stood there, and looked at him.
Her face was very pale, and her blood was still flowing on the ground, and by this time, her blood had been mixed with the blood of General Song, and it was no longer distinct.
In an expedition, only two people bleed. And the only thing that made two people bleed was a sword.
A sharp sword called Jiang Beihai.
Jiang Beihai tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xing Ge.
Xing Ge's face turned pale, and he pounced and knelt down.
Xie Xiaoman frowned: "Xing Ge, he knows very little, he was just threatened by me." Moreover, I threatened him with his wife and children. ”
Xing Ge didn't speak, just kowtowed to Xie Xiaoman.
Wang Wei, who was watching with his arms in his arms, stepped forward, neatly took away the saber on Xing Ge's body, pulled out his own knife, and aimed the sharp blade at Wang Wei's neck.
Xie Xiaoman was a little displeased, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Jiang Beihai, what you did is actually very right. It's just some kind of tongue breaker, it's just me talking nonsense. There's no such thing as a sigil, and even if he says your name, he won't die. So although you have done a bit inhumanely, from your point of view, there is really nothing wrong with it. ”
If it doesn't work, there should always be some use in changing the subject.
Jiang Beihai was even quieter, and he didn't say what to do with Xing Ge, but just looked at Xie Xiaoman quietly, and he felt furious.
Next to him, Tai Ping smiled weakly.
"Army! Army! Grandma's! It doesn't matter who it is! It's all a ghost! Xie Xiaoman was furious, stomped her foot, and the wind charm was cast again, she turned back suddenly, grabbed Xing Ge, turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye, she had already run away.
Where could Wang Wei let Xing Ge escape from his hands, and turned around to chase after him, but was stopped by Jiang Beihai.
"You don't have to chase it, you can't catch up with it." Jiang Beihai's tone was still indifferent.
"How can this be done?" Wang Wei was a little anxious, "I have long said that Boss Xing has a problem, he was not originally from our Hukou Army, but I didn't expect him to be in contact with foreign enemies!" I should have killed him right last night! And that Xie Xiaoman, who dared to threaten you, the general! It's unforgivable! ”
Jiang Beihai shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't care.
"Then Xie Xiaoman is an interesting person." Jiang Beihai carefully chose the words, and slowly pulled out a slightly indifferent dissolution on his face, "Moreover, if I guessed correctly, she Xie Xiaoman should come back." ”
Jiang Beihai prophesied like this, glancing at the knife in Wang Wei's hand.
On the tip of the knife, there were beads of blood. The beads of blood swayed in such a wind, and finally fell to the earth. (To be continued......)
