Chapter 135: White Lotus Sect (4)
"White Lotus Sect?" It was Cao Jinliang who spoke first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his face was rarely stunned, obviously he didn't expect to hear such a name from Liu Xiaoqi's mouth. The deputy officer touched his chin, pondered for a moment, looked at Li Yongzhong first, and when he saw him bowing his head slightly, he asked Liu Xiaoqi carefully: "Don't worry, tell the matter carefully, don't omit a word." ”
"Yes." Liu Xiaoqi responded respectfully, and then slowly said the matter of Fang Cai: "Before, I followed Guan Lao Er according to the wishes of the team officer. Today, the sun is too strong, but we don't give the prisoners a lot of water to drink, he can't survive, so he told me the truth, saying that the general claimed to be the reincarnation of the eldest disciple of the motherless mother, and was named the general who saved the world and saved the suffering. According to Guan Laoer, there are several characters like him in Guizhou, all of whom follow the barbarian leader. This time, he originally borrowed troops from Ah Grasshopper cowardly, and wanted to ambush the army on the way forward and do something to harass him, but his luck was not good and he bumped into us. ”
Li Yongzhong narrowed his eyes, he thought back slightly, remembered the chaos a year ago, and couldn't help sneering: "Luzhou...... It seems that it is the mountain bandit that Li Yongbo and Liu Sankui connected last time...... Hehe, the general who saves the world and saves the suffering...... What kind of bullshit name......" He frowned slightly, sneering to himself, his face seemed calm, but his heart was actually full of anger.
"The Liu family must not stay." Cao Jinliang said lightly, he didn't have a good impression of the Liu family, and now he only hated his own softness that day, "It seems that it is this Liu family who gave Guan Lao Er the way to communicate." When the war is over, let's go back to Fushun, which is the time of Liu Sankui's death! ”
"It's too far to say that now. The top priority is how to deal with this White Lotus Sect. "Li Yongzhong also has a headache, no matter how unfamiliar he is with history, he has also heard of the famous White Lotus Sect in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now it is on the eve of the decisive battle with the two thieves of Luxury, and now if there is a mess in the White Lotus Sect and the two forces of men and horses converge, the Ming army will really suffer a big loss!
"When you return to the army, you will immediately send this second child to the Chinese army." Li Yongzhong finally decided, "This matter is very important, and it is really not something that a small team leader like ours can handle." Even Hou Junmen and Zhu Zhitai must be cautious, otherwise once the chaos starts, the situation that has finally settled down will be corrupted! ”
The matter of Guan Lao Er and the White Lotus Sect was discussed and agreed in this way. Li Yongzhong thought about it for a while, but still ordered his own soldiers to invite the three team officers, and told the three of them the news very solemnly, and finally said with a serious face: "The junior brother told the three brothers about this matter, that is, the three brothers were asked to have a number in their hearts, and this matter was very important. ”
Zheng Guocai's face was not very good-looking, it was originally a chore, and he was ambushed, and he almost lost his life in this barren mountain and wilderness, but now he found that he was actually involved in the White Lotus Sect. He glanced at Li Yongzhong, who had a calm expression, and thought to himself that since he met this son-in-law of the team officer of a thousand households, it seemed that he had not lived a few days of peace, could it be that those words were true? This Li team's official life is too hard, and ordinary people can't parry?
Thinking of boundless thoughts in a mess, he didn't delay Zheng Guocai to speak: "This is nature. How many lives do we dare to mix in such a big event? Originally, it was something that the officials had to think about, let's be martial artists, and when the time comes, we will listen to orders! It's not helpful to think too much! ”
Hou Baoqun also nodded busily: "Team Officer Zheng's words are reasonable. We are soldiers and eat food, these things are what the officials should worry about, and they have nothing to do with us. ”
The other two team officers also spoke out in agreement. After a while, the four of them dispersed. Now that they are returning to their hearts one by one, they naturally don't want to have more complications at this juncture. It's Li Yongzhong, and he is not interested in taking on such a big trouble, so he can't wait to meet the army immediately, and immediately hand over Guan Lao Er and the others to the top.
After noon, after a short rest, the small team staring at the big sun set out on their way home again. Fortunately, there was a lot of shade along the way, and Guizhou was much cooler than Sichuan, and the soldiers drank more water, so there was nothing to do all the way. On the way, the team responsible for opening the road in front of him suddenly shouted, Liu Xiaoqi hurried over to take a look, and came back to see Li Yongzhong with joy: "Team officer! We've met an army! ”
As soon as the soldiers' nerves relaxed, many of them suddenly weakened their legs and almost fell to the ground. At the moment, there was nothing else to say, and the vanguard of the former army checked the waist card password, and several teams of people immediately returned to the team, and the originally quiet queue suddenly shouted, because the army was still on the march, and it was not cheap to speak, so Li Yongzhong just hurriedly mentioned a few words to Chen Xianda about the things on the road, and then hurried away. As soon as the prisoners were captured, there were naturally three Ming army officers who were responsible for counting and taking care of them, and Guan Lao Er was locked in a wooden cage, so he pretended to be sent directly to the Chinese army.
If it weren't for the restraint of military discipline, the remaining teams of the Xianzi Battalion would have to surround them tightly, and they would never give up without asking what happened along the way! However, he knew that this was only because now was not the time to speak, and sure enough, in the evening, before he had time to set up camp, a strange-looking soldier belonging to the Chinese army came to call him, saying that the chief soldier Hou Liangzhu and the adjutant were about to summon him and the other three team officers!
Chen Xianda was obviously also in the ranks of the summons, and took the opportunity to lower his voice and said to him: "When you see them in the military gate, just talk honestly!" Our chief officer has a straightforward temperament, and your temperament is to his liking, just tell me the things on the road honestly! ”
"Son-in-law knows." Li Yongzhong responded with a smile, but he had already seen Yuanmen from a distance, so he immediately closed his mouth and followed the team inside. This is the first time he came back to the serious Chinese army tent, I can't help but look at it secretly, see that all the arrangements are proper and thorough, I can't help but compare it with my own camp in the bottom of my heart, and finally I regret to find that Jiang is really old and spicy, and the Chinese army looks rough everywhere at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find all kinds of clues - "It is worthy of being a general." ”
Under the leadership of the leader's personal soldiers, the group walked into the huge Chinese army tent. Although it was so hot that it lit a few arm-thick butter candles, the light was still dim. Suddenly walking from the outside to the inside, the light changed violently, and it was inevitable that his eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he saw clearly - Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer who had met once before during the Great Parade, was sitting in the position of the chief general in the center, and on the left and right were Liu Kexun, the supervisor of the army, and Deng Xi, the adjutant of the army, and Liu Zhou, Hou Liangzhu's confidant, was sitting in his lower position.
Jia Ye made a loud noise, and everyone collectively bowed down and clasped their fists in salute, and said loudly: "I've seen the chief soldier!" I've seen the Overseer! I've seen the adjutant! ”
"No need to be polite." Hou Liangzhu squinted his eyes and looked at these young people for a while, and asked coldly, "Where is the officer of the Xianzi Battalion Team?" ”
Although he didn't expect to call him as soon as he came, Li Yongzhong still took a step calmly, stood in front of the three Shangguan, and finished saluting cleanly with his fists, Hou Liangzhu's eyes showed a bit of appreciation, but there was still no calm look of joy and anger on his face. "I heard that among the traitors captured this time, if it weren't for Team Li's clever calculations, he would not be able to catch these people in danger!" The chief military officer smiled at Li Yongzhong and said three good words in a row: "Good, good!" It is said that heroes are teenagers, but they are true! When this battle is over, Ben will definitely ask for credit for Team Li! ”
"Don't dare to be a compliment to the military." Li Yongzhong replied to Hou Liangzhu with a respectful face: "This time I caught the thief, and I still have to rely on the help of my comrades. Otherwise, how many can a naked person kill? ”
These words obviously made Hou Liangzhu have a better impression of him, and after encouraging a few people for a while, he heard the adjutant interject and say: "Let's not talk about gossip for the time being, let people bring those rebels up first, and ask a few questions." ”
Liu Kexun, the prison soldier who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, he patted his robe, and asked casually: "This official just heard the soldiers talk about it, saying that this time Aluomi is only the people from the Xianzi Battalion, but if the official remembers correctly, he originally arranged for the people from the Xiangzi Battalion to go to Aluomi with them. How come it is that only the people of the Manifest Camp are seen now? Where are the people from the Xiangzi Battalion? ”
It is not appropriate for the Xianzi Battalion to speak now, or the adjutant Deng Xi jokingly opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "The Xiangzi Battalion is the Chinese army, but they are avant-garde vanguards, and the responsibilities of the two ends are different, how can they come together?" This matter will be discussed later, and the issue of supervising the army will be discussed later! ”
Liu Kexun's face was gloomy, and he wanted to say more, but he couldn't help himself, just nodded and stopped talking. Hou Liangzhu's gaze stayed on the faces of the two of them for a moment, then turned away, and laughed, there was no smile in his voice, he only said: "Bring the traitor in!" ”
Guan Lao Er was pressed by the soldier and knelt on the ground, his eyes could only see the wooden planks spread on the dirt floor, but he heard a neutral voice in his ears and said lightly: "You let him go." But a traitor who is a dead thief, can he still turn over tricks in front of this general? ”
The soldiers let go according to their words, and Guan Lao Er was finally able to raise his head straight, but at a glance he saw a figure dressed as a general sitting in the middle of the hall, with a single article and a martial artist on the side, and his face was pale. He knew that when he arrived at this field, he would probably not be lucky, and he collapsed on the ground like mud, rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and did not salute or sign up. Hang aside the generals in the hall.
Hou Liangzhu is experienced, and Guan Lao Er's self-esteem is quite ridiculous in his opinion. laughed at the moment, didn't say much, only called the soldiers: "Someone!" Drag this traitor down first, beat the mighty stick for thirty kills, and then speak! ”
Immediately, two wolf-like soldiers came in, and without saying a word, they set up Guan Lao Er and dragged him outside the account and pressed him to the ground, and the military stick with the thickness of his arm immediately crackled and beat him fiercely on his buttocks and thighs, and beat Guan Lao Er to a squeak and scream, crying out in pain. In just a moment, the thirty military sticks were finished, and the two soldiers dragged him back again, this time he didn't dare to pretend to be big, his knees just touched the ground, and he immediately struggled to kowtow to the three people in the hall, and said intermittently: "The villain Guan Er, I've seen all the masters!" ”
What follows is nothing unusual, nothing more than you ask me to answer. Guan Lao Er, who was beaten with thirty military sticks, was frightened after all, and he no longer had the slightest arrogance in front of Liu Xiaoqi, and honestly told everything he knew. As soon as the three words of the White Lotus Sect in Guan Laoer's mouth came out, Li Yongzhong saw that the faces of the three people sitting on it had changed drastically, especially Hou Liangzhu, whose face was originally kind and gentle was immediately cold and piercing, and his face when he looked at Guan Laoer was full of cold murderous intent.
At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent came in and said, "The military gate, the Hou officer of the Xiangzi battalion is here." ”
Several officers of the Xianzi Battalion heard the three words of the Xiangzi Battalion, their faces changed slightly, and Hou Liangzhu, who was originally on the fire, was stunned, and then his complexion improved a lot, and he nodded and ordered: "Call Officer Hou in." ”
Except for Li Yongzhong, who actually didn't know anyone except the camp because he had been in the camp for too short, especially Zheng Guocai and others, their faces were full of indignation. Just when he heard the three words of Hou, if he hadn't been patient, Li Yongzhong believed that these sleek comrades in front of him probably wouldn't have said anything good in their mouths.
With the sound of boots, the captain walked into the tent. Li Yongzhong didn't care, he glanced at the past casually, but immediately his eyes were glued to the man's face - the person who stopped him on the road a few days ago was the one who almost started to fight on both sides because of the fact that the mouth was not clean, not the one in front of him, which one?
At that moment, he was a little unable to stand, Chen Xianda, who was standing on the side, seemed to have an extra pair of eyes, seeing this scene, he curled his elbow and smashed it in the direction of his son-in-law, although he almost stabbed Li Yongzhong, but it made Li Yongzhong react. He looked at the officer in front of him, and then at the chief officer sitting in the hall, and suddenly realized in his heart.
The so-called nephew of Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer mentioned by Chen Xianda, seems to be this Hou team officer. Li Yongzhong looked at him coldly and bowed, and Zheng Guocai, who was next to him, looked ahead, and said in a very low voice: "This guy surnamed Hou is holding on to the military gate, and he has some meaning to look up. Now that he's suddenly running, it's not a good thing to be sure. ”
"You don't rest in your own camp, what are you doing in the Chinese army?" Although Hou Liangzhu reprimanded, the smile in his words could not be hidden. The officer replied with a smile: "The military gate is really wronged!" The humble came over, but I heard that the comrades of the Xianzi Battalion caught a big fish, and the humble duty felt itchy in his heart and wanted to see the excitement. ”
"Lively ......" Zheng Guocai twitched the corners of his mouth, his lips could barely see the movement, and said very lightly: "I'm afraid that the excitement is fake, and it is true that I want to get a piece of the pie!" ”
Li Yongzhong looked at the smiling young team officer in the field, and replied softly: "This is not any meat to gnaw, I don't know what is hidden in it, if he wants to taste it for us, it is really a great thing!" (To be continued.) )
