(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass) "The murderer pays for his life." Don't you understand that? Lai Xing'er didn't leave time for the sergeants to form a heart and deal with themselves together, pointed at the headless corpse with the tip of his sword, and forced the sergeants to ask, "If you don't participate in the killing, you don't have to carry the black pot for others, and you will stand by my side." ”

To his surprise, none of the dozen or so sergeants were willing to move their feet and stand beside him, but from the flickering eyes of several of them, Lai Xing'er keenly sensed that his method of divide and conquer had begun to take root in their hearts.

"Which father is willing to tell the last general what is happening in the village? Why did people die for no reason? ”

Lai Xing'er deliberately turned around and asked the villagers. While he wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible, he also wanted to test whether his sword really had the effect of killing chickens and setting an example.

There was a burst of discussion among the villagers, but after about a cup of tea, no one was willing to stand up and explain the truth to Lai Xing'er.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Lai Xing'er was still worried about Nayu and Li Shu, the king of Ying, on the mountain, so he hugged his fists twice and asked the villagers: "Could it be that when Uncle Ding's family was killed, no one was present to witness the situation at that time?" ”

After a brief commotion in the crowd, someone replied in the shadows: "The honest uncle's family lives a little far away from the neighbors, and the village was not present when the incident happened, but later those sergeants waved their swords and killed people, and a few of us saw it." At that time, I heard a guy stop the honest man who was about to go home, and scolded: 'Poor ghost, a few chickens are reluctant to take out to honor Lao Tzu, and he also injured the mount of our captain, so that Lao Cheng can slaughter your whole family, so that you can go to Lord Yama for reunion.' When I heard that his whole family had been killed, I naturally refused to stop with him, and kept saying that I would take him to the mountains to see some general, and between the two of them, I saw from a distance that the guy kicked the honest man to the ground, waved his long sword, and hacked the honest uncle to death. At this point, he could no longer cry, and a sobbing sound rang out in the crowd.

Lai Xing'er was infected by them, and recalled that in front of the Lingdu Temple, Ding Laoshi ran back and forth to relieve the siege for himself, and regardless of the bad words of the sergeants, he diligently ran to the courtyard to find water for them to drink. What made him especially regret was that if he hadn't asked Ding Laoshi to go down the mountain to deliver the message, at least he himself would not have encountered this flying disaster.

Although the villager who spoke deliberately hid in the shadows and did not want to show his face in public, Lai Xing'er had learned the general story of what had happened from his fairly detailed account. Presumably, after he and Ding Laoshi took King Ying, who had a sudden illness, to seek medical treatment on the mountain, the sergeant who stayed in the village asked Ding Laoshi's family for chickens, and the two sides had a dispute, so that it developed to the point of hurting people's lives

"Who else killed someone but him? Kind of stand up for me! Lai Xing'er pointed the tip of his sword at the sergeant who had been beheaded by himself, and turned around and yelled at the sergeants.

"General, the little ones also have a hard time. You can't just say what they say and kill your brothers. A sergeant argued boldly.

"Killing someone, is there still a hard time? Tell me about it. ”

"We brothers all know that you are a noble person from the forbidden army in the capital, and in addition, you have only been with the brothers for a short time, so you don't understand our current situation. When the imperial court recruited us to join the army, it promised us that we would have enough to eat, drink, and be full, and that we would either have money to get all year round, or reduce or exempt our family taxes. But people like us have been in the army for three or four years, or even one or two years, and not only have we never seen any money, but we have not even seen a single meat for a year and a half. The brothers were unwilling, so they repeatedly asked the generals who led the troops to at least ask us to work hard for the court to quell the rebellion, and the court had to take care that we could have a full meal. As a result, guess what, the generals replied to us? ”

The sergeant was eloquent, and spoke not only clearly, but also reasonably, that even the villagers on the other side who were clamoring to avenge Ding Laoshi's family became extraordinarily quiet, listening to him continue.

Lai Xing'er was assigned by Fu Yi to the jumping team as the commander, and ate and lived with his sergeants in the barracks, and after more than ten days, although he felt that the food supply in the army was difficult, if it was said that each sergeant was full, it was more than enough, far from what the sergeant said that it was difficult to wrap his belly, and he was about to open his mouth to refute him, but he heard the sergeant seem to see through his thoughts, and continued: "The general will think that I am talking falsely, right? That's right, just as you saw in the army, general, in the last one or two decades, the food in the army can be full, but what you don't know is that the reason why this is the case is because the rebel leader was suddenly killed by the rebel army in danger, and the defenders of the river were in chaos, and the official army took the opportunity to launch an attack and recover the river in one fell swoop, and the court awarded a reward for this; Second, it was also Lord Liu Wenxun, the junior envoy of the prison army, who sacrificed his life in front of General Fu Yi to fight for this full meal for his brothers. ”

Lai Xing'er is the first time to hear the sergeants complain about Fu Yi, although he knows that Suo'er is in Fu Yi's army, but because of the urgency of the war, as soon as he reports to the Hezhong army, he will set off with the left army to Puzhou to participate in the attack on Yingwang's department, and Suo'er has not yet met.

He didn't want the sergeant to discuss the lieutenant general in front of all the villagers, so he stopped the sergeant and asked, "You don't want to talk about the matter!" What does this have to do with your forcible robbery of people's food, murder and arson? ”

"Generals and adults above the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army drink and meat all day long, why do we soldiers have to starve?" At this point, the sergeant became agitated, raised his voice and asked, "Why don't you ask the generals what they have done to us little pawns?" They said, "If you want to have enough to eat, you have weapons in your hands, won't you take them by yourself?" Frankly speaking, in addition to the brother you killed, there is also one of me who hurt people today. The two of us were ordered by the general to raise military rations, is this also wrong? ”

Hearing him say this unashamedly, the villagers on the opposite side suddenly exploded.

"Robbing food, killing people, he is still reasonable?!"

"The generals are all shitting, clearly asking the soldiers to grab food to fill their stomachs, where are the officers and soldiers, I think they are bandits."

"General, don't listen to him. He admitted that he had killed people with his own hands, and the general was not quick to kill him with a sword. ”

For a while, there was a high voice and a low voice, and there was everything to say.

Lai Xing'er had already heard from the sergeant's eloquent argument that it was probably not the first time that the group of jumping warriors under his command had done this kind of robbery. I only wanted to serve the battlefield in the army and make contributions, but I didn't expect to join such an army like thieves! He had no intention of arguing with the sergeant about right and wrong, but he pushed forward sharply with his sword, piercing the heart with a sword, and the sergeant died.

"For the sake of what he just said, let's leave him a whole corpse. How many of you, are you unconvinced? (To be continued.) )
