Chapter 114: Victory
Linzi City, as usual, is constantly coming and going.
An officer and soldier in armor galloped from a distance in the direction of the city gate.
Merchants dismount when they are close to the city, and in this case they still gallop on their horses, which is particularly eye-catching.
"I'll go, it seems to be Xu Yi, right?"
"Well, it seems, why did he come back alone? Was it defeated? ”
"No, there are a hundred of them, and they won't be so wasted that they can't even beat the bandits, right?"
"Maybe, waste is waste, cut."
The soldiers' comments attracted the attention of their superiors.
"Why? Well?! As soon as the words came out, he also saw Xu Yi galloping over, and suddenly lost his mind.
"Captain, it's Xu Yi who is back."
"I'm not blind." The captain glared at the man who spoke, and continued, "Go, send someone to assassinate the Shi Mansion and the Du Wei Mansion, remember, go and tell Xu Du Wei first." ”
"Whoa."
A moment later, Xu Yi came to the front of the city.
Although he was a little proud when he returned victorious, he still did not dare to ride a horse in the city.
Xu Yi turned over and dismounted, and at this time, the captain of the city guard came up.
"Captain Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
Xu Yi was used to hearing these flattering words, but after he changed himself, these words seemed so harsh to him.
How can you not hear an inquiry with something in your words?
However, he is also proficient in human affairs, and he used to be familiar with him, so he couldn't turn his face and deny people.
"It's all good."
The general answer made the captain of the city undecided.
What does it mean to be all good? Was it a polite remark or a victory? If the battle is won, then the big army is still behind?
But he doesn't look like he's unhappy, but like a hurried retribution, hiss! That can't be stopped, I have to let him go quickly, otherwise I can't stand it if he puts small shoes on me at Xu Duwei's.
"It's all right, are you going to give the good news to Xu Duwei?"
"Ahh Xu Yi hesitated, but still responded.
Hearing such a reply, the captain suddenly didn't dare to stop again, and hurriedly said, "Then I won't delay you, come into the city." ”
"Thank you."
Xu Yi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he arched his hand towards the man and walked towards the city.
He did go to inform the news of the return of the army in advance, but the first person he wanted to report was Gong Jing and not Xu De.
hurried to the Assassin's Mansion, and Xu Yi was stopped.
"Stop coming!"
"Xu Yi, the captain of the Chutun commander of the bandit camp, I have an urgent military situation to report like Lord Shi, please let me know."
Hearing this, the guard glanced at the man next to him.
The man nodded and ran towards the house.
Hearing Xu Yi's arrival, Gong Jing was stunned at first.
It's been so long, and I've just gotten a little bit of news from Chu Fei, and this thing still knows how to report work.
"Let him in."
The originally happy mood dissipated in an instant, and Gong Jing pulled his face and asked Xu Yi to come in.
"I've seen Lord Thorn."
"Hmph, do you know how to send someone and say, good news or bad news?"
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.
He was still good, and he fought several small-scale crushing battles with Xu De.
But the others were not so lucky, and they didn't know that they needed to report this statement to their hometown.
The situation was too weird at that time, and Xu Yi was still hesitating, so he didn't tell Chu Fei about it, and he forgot about it later.
The latter words made his heart happy, and his eyes revealed excitement.
Gong Jing was stunned for a moment, and before Xu Yi could speak, he already understood.
"Back to my lord, good news! Our army ...."
"Lord Qiqi, the guards of the city have something important to report to your lordship."
In the middle of his sentence, he was interrupted by someone who came to pass the prayer.
Gong Jing raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "What is the situation today, such a thing after another?" ’
"Let him in."
"Whoa!"
Since it's good news, it's not a hurry.
In Gong Jing, there is no such thing as coming first and coming first, only priorities.
Since you are not in a hurry, let's deal with the urgent things first.
Xu Yi asked tentatively, but was stopped by Gong Jing raising his hand.
A moment later, the man was brought up, and his face turned blue when he saw Xu Yi.
"How do you... How...."
Seeing such a scene, Gong Jing couldn't help frowning.
"Presumptuous, what is there to say urgently? Don't hurry up yet! ”
"This.... That...."
That guy hesitated for a long time, but not a single useful word popped up.
Gong Jing suddenly said angrily, "You dare to play this assassin history, you are so bold, come here!" Take it and send it to prison for detention. ”
"No, sir, I'm in trouble! Something! ”
Hearing that he was going to put himself in prison, he suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said, "The little one originally wanted to report the news of Xu Yi's return, but he didn't expect it.... I didn't expect it...."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Jing's face became even more ugly.
"Didn't expect anything? I didn't expect Xu Yi to arrive earlier than you? Hum! ”
The man was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to the ground, not daring to say a word.
"Get out of here before I change my mind!"
Gong Jing waved his sleeves and turned around angrily.
The man hurriedly thanked him, and left the place quickly.
Xu Yi was embarrassed and at a loss, as a party concerned, how could he not understand what was going on.
Gong Jing, as a party assassin, got the news as fast as Xu De, what does this mean? No one can stand this.
The entire Thorn Mansion was quiet for a while, and it wasn't until Gong Jing's mood calmed down that he turned around again and asked Xu Yi, "Let's talk about it, see if it can make me happy." ”
"Whoa! My lord, our army fought more than 200 bandits in the Changshan Mountain of Guangxian County, killing 89 bandits, 9 soldiers of our army, 3 seriously wounded, and 18 lightly killed. Now Chief Chu Tun has led the brigade to rush back to Linzi, and he will be able to arrive at noon tomorrow. ”
After listening to Xu Yi's report, Gong Jing's brows soothed a little.
"Well, I didn't expect that since there are so many bandits in Guangxian, why didn't you Chu Tun come to report earlier? Why don't you wait until you come back to report the victory? ”
Seeing that Gong Jingduo was accusatory, Xu Yi's heart trembled.
Thinking of the test Chu Fei gave him, he gritted his teeth and raised his chest and said, "My lord, it's not that I can't wait to report, but at that time, our army was besieged in the cottage, and it was impossible to pass on the news at all. ”
"Huh?" Gong Jing's brows furrowed again, and he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" Let's take a closer look at what has happened during this time. ”
"Whoa!" Xu Yi agreed and began to tell Gong Jing from the beginning.
