Chapter 315: Dirty Deals
Mu Chong scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "The little one has never played dice, so let's learn the skills of the military masters first." ”
One-eyed raised his eyebrows and asked, "You kid aren't curious why Lord Baihu wants to stuff you into our group of military households?" ”
Mu Chong replied without thinking: "If you have food, you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise you will lose your head." ”
"Funny boy, I hope you live a little longer." One-eyed nodded appreciatively, casually pointed to a place for Mu Chong to change his clothes, and then put all his energy into the dice cup.
In the clatter of the collision between the dice and the dice cup, Mu Chong looked at the situation inside the military tent while changing clothes.
The pioneer battalion led by General Gong Buban was roughly divided into four scattered camps, and Mu Chong was located in the nearest outpost camp to the north of Runing City.
The nearest sentry camp to the Red Turban Army needs to be ready for attack and defense at all times, so compared with the three barracks in the rear, a variety of defense means are arranged.
As a marching barracks, the sentry camp set aside two camp gates in front and rear, and the Yuan soldiers launched an attack from the south gate facing Runing City, and the supply of grain and grass was carried out from the north gate near the other three places in the rear.
Only a small number of guards patrolling and guarding and soldiers in charge of logistics were active outside the account, and most of the soldiers rested in the tents, so it can be said that the defense was loose to the extreme.
The most central military tent in the camp is the central military tent of a Yuan soldier who Gong Buban trusts very much, and the number of guards patrolling outside the account is also the largest.
In addition, it is the medium-sized military tent where Mu Chong is located, this kind of temporary tent has a large capacity, and it is not a problem to live for more than a dozen people, so when the six people in the tent get together to gamble money, it looks a little empty.
Although Mu Chong was well prepared and could deal with it easily, a foul smell exclusive to the ** in the account made him dizzy, and he only felt that he was languishing like a strange poison.
After glancing at the few people who were concentrating on the dice, Mu Chong carefully lifted the curtain to breathe.
"Boy, it's a little late to escape now, being a deserter is a capital crime!" One person reminded with a smile after seeing Mu Chong's movements.
Mu Chong hurriedly stopped his movements, turned around and said with a smile: "A good place to eat is not begged by ordinary people, how can I want to escape?" I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”
The soldier who reminded nodded his head, ignored Mu Chong no longer, turned his head and continued to bet, and the one-eyed who was alarmed by them nodded at Mu Chong and motioned for him to take his own chance.
Mu Chong bent down like a stammer, and then dodged out.
It was sunset, and the twilight sprinkled throughout the camp, reflecting the desolation of the eyes.
Mu Chong followed the path he had written down when he came, and carefully relied on the various camp tents to grope for the military tent of the hundred households.
Mu Chong, the purpose of this Yuan soldier Baihu to put the sloppy man to death, had already figured out a rough idea, but he was not sure why he wanted to pull more than 20 of them under his command, so he wanted to try to see if he could quickly find some clues.
After all, it was only a hundred households in the army, and there were less than a hundred Yuan soldiers of the same age, so there were only seven or eight camps in charge, and Mu Chong quickly bypassed the sight of the patrol soldiers and touched the neighborhood alone.
Mu Chong was about to continue to go around to the back of the hundred military tents to eavesdrop, but the hundred households took the initiative to come out of the tent.
It was the burly soldier who was guarding outside his account, and the two looked at each other tacitly and walked out of the tent to the north, and Mu Chong followed without thinking.
As he walked, the burly soldier who was deliberately half a step behind smiled and said, "Your Excellency, these hungry people fleeing the famine are very obedient, and I have stuffed them into the tents of the camps. ”
Baihu was a little surprised: "So fast? Are you all done? ”
The burly soldier said confidently: "Don't worry, whether it's the chief or the captain, they all have a share, and everyone is naturally willing to do such a good thing." ”
Baihu said "um", and instructed uneasily: "This kind of thing must not be sloppy, pay attention to them, otherwise it will be difficult for me to clean up if something happens." ”
The burly soldier bent lower in response.
The two of them walked about two tents away, and were greeted by two people who had been waiting for them in advance.
This is...... The dress of thousands of households! Mu Chong recognized the identity of this person at a glance.
After seeing Baihu and the burly soldier, the Qianhu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so unpunctual? Why did Lao Tzu wait so long? ”
Baihu arched his hand and said: "My lord forgives the sin, and I just accepted a few more homeless people from outside the camp, so it was delayed for some time." ”
"Oh?" A hint of joy appeared on Qianhu's face: "You kid can't fight, but you're doing this trick of stealing chickens and dogs!" ”
In the face of such a mocking appreciation, Baihu didn't dare to be angry, but nodded lightly.
Chido smiled, then beckoned to the guards beside him.
The Qianhu guards immediately stepped forward, took out two heavy bags from their arms and handed them over.
"Last month, you killed a few soldiers disguised as homeless people, this is the various subsidies allocated by the imperial court, these two are what you deserve, take it."
The burly soldier wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was blocked by Baihu reaching out.
"The adults have contributed the most in this matter, how dare the little ones take these many benefits? I'll leave some to bring the brothers to eat and drink. Baihu said that he reached out and took one of the bags, and pushed the other back untouched.
Qianhu laughed when he heard this: "It's rare for your kid to have this filial piety, then I will be disrespectful, don't worry, I will leave such good things to you in the future." ”
With that, Chiho turned and left with his guards, putting an end to a dirty deal in the barracks.
When they were far away, Baihu checked his bag and threw it directly to the burly soldier beside him: "You have contributed the most to the whole thing, so ask someone to take this money home and use it." ”
The burly soldier was stunned: "Forgive me for talking too much, my lord, you have spent a lot of money on this matter, and now you have returned half of it to the thousands of households, and you have given half of it to the villain, haven't you left any benefits and taken a lot of risks in vain?" ”
The hundred traitors laughed, and then took out the rag snatched from the sloppy man's hand from his arms and trembled: "After all, helping others to do things can only be a small profit, as long as I take his place, it will be as happy as a fish leaping into the dragon's gate!" ”
The burly soldier nodded with admiration: "The adults are thoughtful, and the villains can't beat the horses." ”
I see...... Mu Chong, who eavesdropped on the entire conversation, now understands why these Yuan soldiers dare to include the displaced people in the army in a big way.
