Chapter 249: The Battle of Jade Pendants
With Xiao Han's inquiry, the soldiers and people from the rivers and lakes around all stopped one after another, looking at it intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, Xiao Han's identity is special, and this matter seems to be small, but it profoundly reflects the most fatal problem within the Northern Expeditionary Army.
That's the priority of the manpower of the two sides.
Hesitating that the initial promotion was imminent, Lu Jue had an order in the army, and for these people who were not in the establishment, try to avoid them and avoid excessive disputes.
Although these people have good and bad thoughts, they are chaotic, dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between fishing in troubled waters and serving the country loyally.
If it weren't for the fact that this jade plaque was the only token left by his brother, this soldier would never want to disobey the military order at this time.
Seeing Xiao Han walking beside him, the soldier was flustered, and his immature cheeks didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
"General, I..."
The soldier opened his mouth in a panic to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Han raising his hand slightly.
Xiao Han walked past the soldier, his eyes were kind and gentle, and there was no meaning to blame, and an inexplicable warmth instantly swept through the heart of this slightly immature soldier.
General Xiao Han's eyes were so similar to those when his brother looked at him before he left.
The inexplicable sense of trust made the soldier no longer speak, but believed that the general in front of him would definitely give himself justice.
"In Xia Xiao Han, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
Xiao Han raised his hand to the chivalrous warrior and bowed very politely.
This chivalrous warrior had already made a lot of money from the dead when he left behind when he landed Jue when he left, and today he saw a piece of jade pendant with a good color on the ground, which fell from the little soldier, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and the two had a dispute.
The soldiers who clashed with him before were afraid of being punished by their superiors, and in the end they all gave up, but today this young soldier is as hard as a piece of wood.
What is Xiao Han's identity, this chivalrous warrior is naturally so arrogant that he thinks that Xiao Han will put himself in his eyes, but now there are more and more people gathered, thinking of this, the chivalrous man's eyes flashed slyly, and he felt that with so many people present, Xiao Han couldn't do anything with himself.
"In the Lower Green Snake Gang Li Ruo, I have seen General Xiao Han!"
The corners of Li Ruo's mouth hooked, and he arched his hand with his waist straight, and the intention of coping was extremely obvious.
"I don't know what General Xiao Han called to stay down, what is the so-called matter?"
This Li Ruo pretended not to know, and seemed to have settled the matter of this jade pendant.
"I just saw what you and this little brother under my army account are fighting for, I don't know if I can let Xiao Han take a look?"
Xiao Han is too lazy to go around the bend with this person, Li Ruo, a local snake in the market, Xiao Han has not seen much in Kyoto in the past few years, these people can talk clearly in one sentence, so don't entangle with them more.
As he spoke, Xiao Han opened his big hand and raised the jade pendant at Li Ruo.
Li Ruo saw that this Xiao Han was so direct, although he was unhappy in his heart, but in front of everyone, he couldn't shirk it, so he took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiao Han.
The carving is average, but the color is still excellent.
Xiao Han looked at the jade pendant in his hand and raised it slightly, but saw that under the light of the sky, it was as deep as a blue wave, the blue and white at both ends were getting lighter, and under the flickering light, this jade pendant was obviously passed down to the hands of several generations, and it had already had a little brewing.
It's just that one side of this jade pendant is arched and round, and the other side is a little flat, as if something is missing.
"General, can you see it?"
Li Ruo looked at Xiao Han and looked at the jade pendant for a long time, and was a little anxious, so he asked with a smile.
Xiao Han still looked at Yu Pei, and did not intend to return it to Li Ruo at all, but opened his mouth to ask Li Ruo again.
"I just heard what Brother Li said, this jade pendant is your brother's relic?"
Hearing that Xiao Han actually took his ridicule as the right thing, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel that Xiao Han in front of him was nothing more than that, so he opened his mouth very impatiently.
"Yes, it's my younger brother who joined the army."
The people who were watching around, and the bystanders who didn't know Li Ruo's personality saw this, and they felt that the matter was clear.
The younger brother joined the army, and he didn't sacrifice to serve the country, and now the elder brother has come to fight against foreign enemies, which is really a loyal brother, and it is touching.
"You... You are talking nonsense! That's clearly my brother's relic! ”
The soldier heard that Li Ruo was lying, and the people around him seemed to believe it, so he hurriedly turned around and ignored the presence of Xiao Han, the general, and immediately accused Li Ruo.
"It seems that one of these two people must be lying."
"yes, I just don't know which one is lying?"
As the soldiers accused Li Ruo, the people and soldiers who gradually gathered around began to talk and speculate.
Gradually, two different voices began to form an invisible opposition in the air.
On the side of the soldiers, under the contact in the past few days, they naturally understand the greed, meanness, and freedom among these people in the rivers and lakes.
I felt in my heart that it must be Li Ruo who wanted to make a fortune in the dead that he would be so ignorant of his conscience.
On the side of the people in the rivers and lakes, some people were silent, even if they understood Li Ruo's personality, most of them guessed that Li Ruo must have done this to covet the jade pendant, but they didn't come out to speak, just silently waited for Xiao Han's treatment.
This is no longer right or wrong, what they want to see is what kind of existence the people in the rivers and lakes should be in the army.
At this time, even if you know the truth, you can't stand up and say anything.
Profit is the most important thing in the hearts of these people.
Lu Jue looked at the gradually noisy discussions around him, and he also knew in his heart that if there was no reasonable explanation of this matter, it would not only chill the hearts of the soldiers, but also leave them with critical words in the future rivers and lakes.
Xiao Han saw that the young soldier was very aggrieved, so he gently patted the soldier's shoulder, and the index finger of his other hand stroked the jade pendant a few times, and asked Li Ruo.
"Since Brother Li said that the jade pendant belongs to Brother Ling, do you have a certificate?"
"Credentials?"
When Li Ruo heard Xiao Han say this, he couldn't help but sneer, and he knew in his heart that Xiao Han was going to protect the little soldier to speak.
Now the onlookers have leaked this block, and even the heads of other sects have come to the side one after another, quietly watching Xiao Han deal with this matter.
"General Xiao Han said that it was funny, this war is raging, it is desolate, even if there is a certificate, I am afraid it will be buried in this barrenness, where to find it?"
"You... You don't, I do! ”
Seeing that Li Ruo wanted to quibble again, the little soldier sobbed, and stumbled and took out another jade pendant from his arms.
