Chapter 44: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron (3)

If it weren't for this, they would not have been willing to serve him as their master, because they desperately needed a stable home, a strong country, and a large land of abundance, after many years of wandering on the sea.

They whispered outside the door, but Meng Chong, who was lying in the inner room, didn't hear it, and it was only at this moment that he closed his eyes a little more reassuringly and let himself rest for a while. From the moment they confronted Du Yunjin, the plan they had agreed on before was officially implemented, and what he needed was to use the secret of the rattan armor in his hand in exchange for the opportunity to return to the station with the Yi people. This requires not only great courage, but also meticulous heart to work step by step, so that you can complete this task smoothly.

Different from the purity of this place, the county guard at this time was noisy and lively. The young generals who followed Rong Jingcheng were the most outstanding, Meng Chong was punished just because he contradicted Du Yunjin twice, which already made everyone feel that the punishment was too heavy, and now he was directly sentenced to death because of his inexplicable disappearance, which makes people have to suspect that there is Du Yunjin's narrow revenge!

"Rong Shuai! Du Xianxian, we are rough people, and what General Meng said before was not right, and it was not intentional. General Meng has followed Rong Shuai to fight for many years, and he has made many great and small achievements, and he will not be inexplicable all the time, there must be some reason for this! Du Xianfeng really shouldn't have expelled General Meng from the army when he was not there and could not defend himself! ”

"Yes!" After the young general finished speaking, the older general also stood up and said, "Du Xianxian, this matter is indeed not appropriate!" Even if you want to drive General Meng out of the army, you should wait for him to return and listen to his explanation! ”

As soon as these two words landed, the echoes rose one after another. Du Yunjin looked coldly at the people in the hall arguing with him with red necks, and there was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes. From this point of view, Meng Chong can be regarded as a person of prestige in the army, and he is the only one who can replace Rong Jingcheng in the future, or who can replace her to protect the Du family's army. She has a good eye and doesn't pick the wrong person.

Rong Jingcheng didn't speak, he took the tea cup that had already cooled in his hand and tasted it slowly. As the successor of Du Jiajun, there should still be a means to deal with this little thing. When he left, Du Yunjin was still young, and he only knew that he was messing around with Qing Ruofeng in Crescent City all day long. As soon as the previous plan about Meng Chong's undercover agent came out, he really saw Du Yunjin's skills and abilities clearly, and he had strategy and courage, and now he is waiting to see if he can take responsibility. Therefore, his subordinates were embarrassed by Du Yunjin, he didn't plan to intervene, anyway, he just watched from the wall and waited to see the result.

It seems to be the same as Rong Jingcheng's thoughts, and it seems to have his own plans, anyway, Xiao Shaokang didn't plan to intervene in the chaotic scene in front of him, he picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but when he put it to his mouth, he found that it was cold, and he threw it back on the table in an instant, and then yawned by the way, holding his head and looking at the scene in front of him boredly.

Du Yunjin's gaze swept around the hall, then cleared his throat and shouted, "What's the noise!" ”

Her voice was not loud, but her penetrating power was particularly strong, and it was also mixed with natural majesty, which made everyone in the hall stunned, but forgot about the quarrel.

"No matter what Meng Chong's hardships are, it is true that he disappeared inexplicably during the punishment. We are in the army, not for ourselves, not for Rong Shuai, not for Du Shuai, we are for the people of the world! Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, it is precisely when we need to unite as one and fight hard against the enemy, but Meng Chong is proud of his high merit and disobeys his boss! All of you here have a certain level of military experience, and you should know that as a soldier, what we have to do is to obey, even if it is a wrong decision, and order and prohibit. If he fails to follow even the most basic rules, then he will lose his qualification to become a soldier. In the future, when he goes to the battlefield, he will not only harm his own life, but also the life of his comrades, as well as the lives of the people of the entire Long Island County and the fate of the entire imperial court. No matter how much military exploits Meng Chong has, it can't be compared with human life, so I punished him, hoping that he could regain his original intention and sober up on his own, but I didn't expect him to dare to run away without permission! ”

"General Meng is seriously injured, it is impossible for him to escape, there must be some kind of hardship, maybe he was kidnapped by someone!"

The young soldier who spoke before began to defend Meng Chong again, and Du Yunjin remembered him, he was Meng Chong's fellow villager Sun Jiangong, who was recommended by Meng Chong to join the army, and Meng Chong was like a brother.

"Even if there is any trouble, he should climb back." Du Yunjin glanced at Sun Jiangong coldly, turned around and sat back in his position, and said loudly: "It is an indisputable fact that Meng Chong smuggled away, and the military order of the vanguard will go down and thoroughly investigate Meng Chong's whereabouts in the city on the same day!" ”

"Yes." The herald received the order and ran towards the door at a high speed.

When everyone in the hall heard Du Yunjin's harsh words, they immediately understood that Meng Chong was already in a catastrophe. Although they are unhappy in their hearts, Meng Chong does not appear at this moment, and no one can defend it. Sun Jiangong saw that everyone else was silent, so he had no choice but to retreat silently into the team, lowering his head and not making a sound.

"Du Xianxian, the imperial capital is in a hurry."

The postman trotted into the hall and handed the letter in both hands.

Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang glanced at each other, if there is no news in the imperial capital at this moment, it means that it is good news, and it is in a hurry...... On the contrary, it can be bad news.

The game in the imperial capital is not easier than their stalemate with the Yi people here, although Xiao Feng has woken up, he is no longer in charge of affairs, and the affairs of the court and government are handled by Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuli. Xiao Yu is weak, far inferior to Xiao Yuli's strength, judging from the communication between them, Xiao Yu is undoubtedly under Xiao Yuli's control. If there is no news from the emperor, it means that Xiao Yu is still alive, after all, she still has Rong Jingcheng's 200,000 troops in her hands. As long as she raises her arms and exhales, the 300,000 Du family troops in Crescent City will also rise up, and Xiao Yuli's position will not be stable at that time. So when she set out on the expedition, she was sure that Xiao Yuli would not dare to hurt Xiao Yu lightly.

At this moment, news came from the emperor, either Xiao Yu won this game, or Xiao Yuli got what he had always wanted. Xiao Yu's chances of winning are very slim, and the latter is something that Du Yunjin does not want to see.

Her hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and Xiao Shaokang suddenly came over and helped her open the letter.

"They're all waiting."

Xiao Shaokang lowered his voice to remind her that as a pioneer, even if it was big bad news, she couldn't shake the army's heart. Otherwise, their previous deployments would all be ineffective, and Meng Chong would be in a very dangerous situation.
