At the time of another pillar of incense, the last few soldiers carrying stones also returned, Jing Yi, Ji Wu and others were also among them, and they couldn't help frowning when they looked at those soldiers who returned ahead of schedule.

I really let my Highness say it right!

Jing Yi stepped forward and threw down the stone in his hand, Chun Yuqi had already transferred several halberd guards from Ju Xin's side according to the will of his Royal Highness, they were also the kind of soldiers who carried out criminal laws, holding military sticks in their hands.

"Jing Yi, how's it going?" Seeing that Jing Yi and Ji Wu were late, Chun Yuqi also frowned and asked.

Jing Yi shook his head and said, "As expected, even Ju Han and Huang Lie did not go to the barren mountain, but only picked up stones on the roads on both sides of this martial pass. ”

Chun Yuqi glanced at everyone and said: "It took more than half an hour to walk back yesterday, and it only took half an hour for these people to come back, and it is not difficult to guess whether there are any cats among them, there are hundreds of people, if they are all about crime and punishment, I am afraid it will take at least half an hour just to rely on these halberd guards around General Ju!" ”

Ji Wu glared at these lazy scout camps, and said angrily: "There are not enough people, so I'll fight the military stick!" ”

Jing Yi and Ji Wu broke out in a cold sweat and dissuaded: "Don't do it, you don't know how to control your strength, don't beat them to death!" ”

Ji Wu was naturally stupid, so he gave up.

Lin Yuyan, who was sitting in the inner tent, also listened to a full column of incense for a long time, and he had no military discipline to say, and moved back to the stone, and these scout battalion soldiers were talking loudly on the side, and some even sat on the ground!

Jing Yi walked away from Lin Yuyan, as Jing Yi expected, this highness still had no intention of going out to see these soldiers.

Opening the camp tent, Jing Yi gestured to the halberd guard beside him, took a few steps forward, looked at the soldiers below, and said, "The first ten people to come back will each have twenty military sticks!" The rest, ten military sticks each! ”

"This!"

As soon as Jing Yi's voice fell, it caused an uproar among the soldiers who came, and they didn't understand what the reason was.

As Ju Han, who went to move stones together, naturally he didn't have any idea of being spared, so he took a few steps forward and asked Jing Yi: "Dare to ask why this is punishing soldiers?" ”

Huang Lie also asked one step at a time: "Punish the sergeant at will, but it violates the military law implemented by Han Xiang!" ”

"Military law?" Jing Yi sneered, then looked at Huang Lie and asked, "Do you know what Article 1 of Military Law is?!" ”

Huang Lieyu stopped, he knew a rough idea of military law, and the Wuguan defenders had nothing to publicize this, but Ju Han replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is [military orders like mountains]!" ”

Jing Yi said: "I know that the [military order is like a mountain], but you are knowingly committing a crime, and what you want to join the army is obviously a stone on a barren mountain, but you are moving back the stone from the road in Wuguan!" ”

"This ......" Ju Han really didn't expect why this highness was so embarrassed, what is the difference between the stones on both sides of the road in Wuguan and the stones on the barren mountain? Is it not true that the stones on the barren mountains are made of gold?

Huang Lie also said bluntly: "Isn't it that Han Senjun is embarrassing a certain soldier!" ”

Jing Yi directly said angrily: "Slander the general, punish ten military sticks!" ”

Ju Han is smart, seeing this situation, he seems to have an understanding, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general will be punished!" ”

Seeing that Ju Han had already softened, Huang Lie naturally lost his spirit, and he was also a little complaining at the moment to hold his fists and receive the punishment, but it was the sentence that Fang Cai talked about that made him have more punishment of ten military sticks.

To tell the truth, the military sticks in the army are not like the official government of Daqin County, there are two kinds of differences: [with clothes] and ["chiluo"], all of them in the military camp are [with clothes] leading sticks, and there are only twenty military sticks, although it is not a light punishment, but it is not to the point of breaking the muscles and bones, especially the rough men in the army, how can they care about this mere twenty military sticks!

What Huang Lie disagreed with was, why did he accept these twenty military sticks in vain!

The halberd guard in front of Ju Xin's tent was extremely accurate, and although his strength was not reduced much, he was not staring at one place, so the soldiers who were punished were not in much pain.

In a short time, these soldiers stood up with a slight limp and gathered aside, and received the military order from the camp tent to join the army, which was reluctant to come forward, and went to the barren mountain to carry stones!

This time it was much more honest, and the soldiers of the scout battalion ran to a barren hill closest to the inner gate of Wuguan and moved stones and ran down.

Because of the punishment of the military stick, a little painful, some returned in an hour, and there were also a few soldiers who received twenty military sticks who came back some time late after the water clock was dripped.

Compared with the last punishment, the treatment this time is undoubtedly much better, not only is there no punishment, but there is also a tank of water for the soldiers to quench their thirst.

Ten miles back and forth, including the hillside, I have to say that these soldiers are thirsty and want to drink water, this tank of water is undoubtedly very timely.

Huang Lie picked up a scoop of water, drank it, and poured it through his throat, which made Huang Lie feel a little salty in his taste.

Huang Lie couldn't help but raise his head, pointed to the scoop containing the water and asked Ju Han, "Salt is added to the water?" ”

Ju Han had already drunk it, so he naturally nodded.

Salt is a rare thing, even in the army, it is very lacking, with Han Kui coming to power, the shortage of food in the army has been alleviated, but the lack of salt has never been solved.

Even Ju Han and Huang Lie didn't know why they put the precious salt into the water, but with the slight saltiness in their throats, Huang Lie scooped up a scoop of water and drank it all.

The sky was already about to get dark, and when Huang Lie only felt a little bloated after drinking the water, he looked at the sky, and couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking that it was finally over, and the other soldiers also thought like this, slumped on the ground one by one, complaining to each other, moving stones back and forth twice, I have to say, it is indeed a little tiring!

But unexpectedly, the guard next to the army once again came out of the camp tent to deliver the military order, and asked the scout camp soldiers to go to the barren mountain to move stones again!

Huang Lie finally couldn't help it, and said: "If it's late today, and the sergeants and soldiers haven't eaten dinner, they really don't have the strength to go to the barren mountain to move stones!" ”

"Oh?" Jing Yi nodded and said, "So I asked you to get torches when I joined the army, and I gave you half an hour more, and from now on, if the deadline is exceeded, it will still be dealt with by military law with twenty military sticks!" ”

Finally, with Jing Yi's plain and somewhat cruel looking face and the threat of the twenty military sticks, the soldiers of the scout camp had to stand up and go to the barren mountain again to lift the stones.
