Chapter 210

After being full of wine and food, Xu Hui, who had gained a Jiangsu cook, walked out of the Chinese army's tent with satisfaction, and went back to his camp to rest under the leadership of the guards.

To tell the truth, he came here, that is, to see the excitement and show his attitude, although he has read a lot of books, but the way of using troops is still a mess, so a little self-knowledge, he still has this future first assistant, so he simply handed over the matter of arranging troops to these guards officers to be fully responsible, as long as there is no big mess, it is easy to say.

Overall, tonight's dinner was very satisfying to him, after all, in addition to the fact that women could not be carried in the barracks, there was wine and meat.

Walking on the road, Xu Huo subconsciously raised his head, and in a trance he saw a red light flashing in the sky, he was scared of a spirit, the whole person was a lot of spirits, and the wine he drank just now all turned into cold sweat and flowed out, but when he looked at it, he didn't see anything, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I think it's a lot of things for me, and now I have more than 2,000 soldiers around me, and the general trend of the world has not changed. ”

Thinking about this, he went into the tent and fell asleep, although he did not have the urge to drink, but the day's travel was still too hard for him as a scholar.

"Who are you? Newspaper code! ”

A burst of shouting suddenly came from the door, scaring Xu Huo in his sleep, without waiting for him to open his eyes, feeling the abnormal heat around him, when he opened his eyes, he saw that his body had already been surrounded by flames, and his tent was burned.

The curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, so frightened that Xu Huo hurriedly reached out and grabbed the long sword beside the pillow, reluctantly stood up, and asked loudly: "Who is coming?" ”

Although he is a weak scholar, after all, he is from a landlord family, has good nutrition, good physical foundation, and learned a few handsome swordsmanship in his early years.

I saw a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit walking out of the firelight, dressed in a rough manner and said: "Xu Shiyu, quickly follow the mark, there are thieves attacking the camp!" ”

Xu Shiyu looked at him, it was the guard sent by Wang Zhen beside him, the water with a good sword dance could not be splashed, and it was also hung in the brocade guard, so he nodded, took a deep breath, held the holy decree in his arms, held the long sword, and followed the guard out of the tent, running in another direction, and asked as he ran: "Everywhere else, how is it now?" ”

"There's nothing unusual about the rest of the place, and the thieves seem to be coming straight for the Servant." The guard replied while protecting him, "There are not many thieves, only about ten people, if it weren't for a soldier who patrols the night nearby, found them, and let the patrolling soldiers surround them, I am afraid that the servant is now in danger, but the thief did not dare to go deep in the panic, but just threw the canister of fire and set the tent of the servant on fire, and then hurried back." ”

Xu Huo looked back at the house that was on fire, and couldn't help but shiver, if he was really touched in the tent, even if he was awake, he would have his head chopped off, he took a deep breath, and then asked: "Do you know, have the soldiers on this night patrol ever caught alive?" ”

The guard shook his head and smiled bitterly: "These more than ten assassins are masters, and they killed and injured four or five guards in one fight, and they are afraid that Xu Shiyu will be assassinated, so they don't dare to pursue, and I don't know what the situation is now." ”

So Xu Huo stopped fighting coldly, and directly broke out in a cold sweat, he only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked in an instant.

He knew that this was his proposal to open a silver mine in Beijing, and after it spread to the southeast, it was known to the big families in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces who relied on this silver mine to increase their extra income. Even Ye Zongliu, the thief leader who is known as invincible in the southeast, is just a man who has served as a servant, not to mention ten Ye Zongliu, even twenty or thirty, and there is no way to come and go freely among the soldiers of the two thousand households.

There is only one thing left for him to calculate now, and that is ...... How many big families are involved in the calculation of him, if these ten or so people are just the lead, then the follow-up may be a continuous assassination - the profits that can be generated by that silver field can make the emperor never forget, and can make all the big families in Jiangnan salivate.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, even within the landlord class, this sentence is an unshakable iron law.

When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Huo saw Tang Enmeng standing there with an angry face, his eyes were as wide as a copper bell, and he was scolding like thunder: "A bunch of waste, all waste!" Counting the people, the camp of nearly 5,000 people was actually touched directly by someone? Is that Qianhu in charge of the night patrol tonight? ”

The face of the commander standing below him was not good, but he still said: "Old Tang, you have put out your anger for the time being, this matter is strange today, if the Ye Sect is really so elite, I am afraid that Sun Dusi will not be seriously injured that day." ”

Absolute elite, in this era means absolute lethality, a sharp blade directly piercing the Chinese army, can instantly collapse the enemy's morale, so hearing this, Tang Enmeng also took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and saw Xu Huo walk in, the expression on his face was completely relaxed: "Xu Shiyu has nothing to do, the general has already sent someone to chase the murderer......

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw a hundred households crashing into the camp tent, covered in blood, and kneeling on one knee: "Back to the general's words, the standard led more than 40 people to pursue, I never thought that the thief was so fierce, just one face, he killed and injured more than half of the subordinates under the standard, and the standard did not dare to chase again, the gang of thieves escaped into the mountains and forests, and they have disappeared, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”

Tang Enmeng's eyebrows jumped up instantly, he strode forward, he wanted to give this hundred households a kick, Xu Huo in person, how can he sell Xu Huo a face first, but when he got closer, he couldn't help but gasp, the left arm of this hundred households was dripping with blood, there was a deep wound that could be seen in the bone, the cotton armor on the chest was broken, revealing the iron plate inside, and the blood flowed on the wound, and he hurriedly ordered: "The thief is fierce, it's no wonder you, go down and bandage it first!" ”

Xu Huo looked at the hundred households covered in blood, and a sense of despair gradually came to his heart, at this moment, what fame and fortune, what wife and son, and what glory and ancestor glory were all thrown away by him, and a thought that he had never had before came to mind - resign and go into hiding.
