Chapter Ninety-Eight: Notes
The next day, Ye Youhuan jumped off Princess Jinyu's bed.
He hardly slept all night, but he didn't languish at all, but was alive and well.
On the contrary, it was the princess, who was as limp as a puddle of mud.
After being woken up by Ye Youhuan's movements, he looked at it with sleepy eyes, grabbed a pillow and hugged it in his arms, and continued to sleep.
Ye Youhuan didn't take a cup when he drank water, but picked up the kettle high, tilted his head and poured water into his mouth, and drank half a pot in one breath to be comfortable.
He hiccuped, then got dressed in a cheerful mood and walked out the door.
Outside the door, a few soldiers coldly shrunk their shoulders and rubbed their hands together.
It was getting colder and colder, and the soldiers seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time before it became cold.
Seeing Ye Youhuan coming out of the princess's room, they hurriedly greeted him: "General, many of them are waiting for you in the council hall!" ”
"I haven't had breakfast yet, so go back and tell them to wait a little longer." Ye Youhuan sent these soldiers away with a word.
The soldiers of the entire Yepi Pass worshipped Ye Youhuan as the god of war, and they did not dare to question Ye Youhuan's words.
The soldiers went back to pass the words to the generals, but Ye Youhuan ate breakfast unhurriedly.
After breakfast, he walked slowly and leisurely to the council chamber.
Passing through a courtyard, Ye Youhuan heard the cry of pain coming from inside.
"Whoever is so unlucky will be hit early in the morning." Ye Youhuan, who was going to the conference hall, went into the courtyard to see the excitement.
Walking into the courtyard, the first thing I saw was a tortured soldier lying on a bench, and two executioners beside him beat him on the ass with a wooden staff the thickness of their arms.
The buttocks were beaten to the ground, and the blood flowed down the thighs to the ground, and Ye Youhuan frowned.
In addition to the executioners and the tortured, there were a number of people on both sides of the courtyard.
On the left are five people who have already been tortured with canes, and the medical officer is applying medicine one by one to help the wound heal quickly and prevent infection.
On the right, there were several people standing in fear, all trembling all over, looking like they were about to be beaten by the board.
Ye Youhuan felt that these people were very familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized, weren't these people the soldiers who notified him to go to the council hall in the morning?
Everyone was startled when they saw Ye Youhuan, and then hurriedly saluted.
Ye Youhuan let everyone get up, and then asked the tortured person curiously, "What did you commit?" ”
After Ye Youhuan asked, several of the tortured people were silent, as if there was something unspeakable.
"What did they do?" Ye Youhuan asked the executioner again.
"This ......" The executioners looked awkward, embarrassed, and did not want to answer.
"Do you want me to repeat it a second time?" Ye Youhuan's expression was cold.
"Tell the General, these men have been ordered to wake you up, but they are lingering outside the door and not calling you."
The executioner told Ye Youhuan the ins and outs of the future.
It turned out that the lieutenant general in the council hall asked the soldiers to look for Ye Youhuan, and when the soldiers heard that Ye Youhuan hadn't woken up yet, he didn't come forward to call the door, not wanting to disturb the great general they admired in their hearts.
One soldier had been gone for a long time and had not returned, and the generals of the council chamber sent another.
They sent soldiers one after another, but they all sank like a stone into the sea.
In the end, the generals finally couldn't help but go to find Ye Youhuan in person, and the soldiers came back late and told the general to come back after breakfast.
All the generals were mad, because just this morning, a big incident happened in Yepiguan.
They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but the soldiers who gave the order engaged in a personality cult, and they delayed the order just because they didn't want to disturb Ye Youhuan's rest.
There is nothing to say, the military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers who gave the order were counted as one, and all of them received cane punishment.
"This ......"
Ye Youhuan was stunned after hearing this, and didn't know what to say.
Yu Gong, it is reasonable for these people to be punished, no matter what the reason, the orders issued by the boss should not be delayed, and even their lives should be guarded.
Yu Private, Ye Youhuan had a good impression of these soldiers, he knew that he and Zhong Ling were extremely popular in the army, but he didn't expect the soldiers to worship themselves to this extent, and they would rather delay the order to be beaten to the board than affect their sleep.
"Do you want to exonerate these people?"
Ye Youhuan thought for a while, and then said: "You are not wronged at all in receiving this cane, if there is such a thing in the future, don't be afraid of affecting my rest, just wake me up, you know?" ”
"We are convicted!"
"We admit punishment!"
One by one, the soldiers all confessed.
"It's good, you can change your mistakes." Ye Youhuan nodded, and then whispered to the executioner: "Hit lightly." ”
The executioner was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Ye Youhuan was very satisfied with the executioner's performance, and planned to leave the council hall to see what happened early in the morning, which would make all the generals panic.
He was about to walk out of the yard when he suddenly stopped.
Ye Youhuan saw a familiar back in the courtyard.
The man was lying on the ground, his buttocks had just been hit by the board, and seeing that his position was in the innermost, he should have been hit first, and at this time his buttocks had been drugged and bandaged.
"Are you ......" Ye Youhuan became more familiar with this back the more he looked at it, he frowned, and asked uncertainly: "Zhao Liang?" ”
"......" The other party was silent and did not look back.
"Are you Zhao Liang?" Ye Youhuan wants to figure this matter out.
"......" The other party still turned his back to Ye Youhuan and was silent.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Ye Youhuan walked over and walked around to him.
"It's really you, what's the matter with you?"
The person Ye Youhuan saw turned out to be Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang's eyes were closed, and his expression was sad and angry.
"You kid adores me too?" Ye Youhuan asked strangely.
"I was punished for a different reason than them." Zhao Liang closed his eyes, not daring to look at Ye Youhuan.
Ye Youhuan squatted down and asked Zhao Liang, "Then why were you punished?" ”
"Because I made a mistake in judgment, I recommended people who shouldn't have been recommended, and people defected out of the city with soldiers." Zhao Liang said very ashamedly.
"What do you mean?" Ye Youhuan thought that Zhao Liang had recommended a general to him, who was responsible for commanding the entire sword and shield battalion, and he suddenly had a very bad idea in his heart, could it be that the general named Gongsun Yeti defected?
"That Gongsun Yeti defected last night." Zhao Liang said ashamedly.
"What?" Ye Youhuan couldn't believe his ears: "How is it possible, don't he and Xiao He have an insoluble contradiction?" ”
Ye Youhuan remembered that the family of Gongsun Ye Ti, who was framed by Xiao He, the prince of Liangguo, caused the family of Gongsun Ye Ti to be ruined.
Didn't he fall into the net when he returned to Liangguo?
"He didn't flee in the direction of the Liang Army, but wanted to be in our hinterland." Zhao Liang said.
"Why?"
"He left a note, which said that the general, you killed Jiazha Xuanshi, his master will definitely come to take revenge, and will not accept surrender, slaughtering all the animals in Yepiguan, he doesn't want to stay here and wait for death."
