Chapter 191: Buying a Head
The sharp tip of the spear flashed with a cold light, directly nailing the young sergeant's left hand to the ground!
The young sergeant immediately howled loudly.
The body rolled, but the left hand was nailed so tightly that it could not be pulled out at all.
The man with the gun was none other than Jiang Long.
When the young sergeant scolded the old man before, many people looked over and saw Jiang Long's merciless attack, and their hearts were cold.
This seemingly handsome and young official is so ruthless.
"A bunch of wretched!"
Jiang Long ignored the painful cries of the young sergeant, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the forbidden army sergeants around him, touching his indifferent gaze, those forbidden army sergeants were all subconsciously avoiding, Jiang Long also saw the fear from the bottom of his heart in the eyes of these people.
Not afraid of him, but afraid of being killed by horse bandits.
I have developed a fear of horse bandits in my bones.
If there are horse bandits attacking again at this moment, it is estimated that these people will not dare to resist at all, so they will turn around and run.
Although there are provisions in military law, flee from the battle and behead!
But the soldiers of the forbidden army have never been on the battlefield before, so they do not have a very clear understanding of this military law.
If it is at the border, then this will not happen on the battlefield.
There are frequent battles here, military discipline is strict, not to be seen as decoration, and the officers also know the importance of military discipline, small things may be negotiable, but if you escape from the battle, it will be killed, and sometimes even if you know that you are going to be bait to die, you can only obey.
However, the situation on the side of the forbidden army is also special, because everyone will run away.
There is a way that the law does not blame the people, and they cannot all be cut down.
"Do you only dare to bully the common people? The fart who was killed by a few horse bandits on the battlefield before, and now he is the uncle? That's all you guys can do? The forbidden army is the guard of the Son of Heaven, guarding the imperial city and protecting the people, not for you to rely on your identity to show off your might!
If you can't beat the horse bandits, you still have the face to be angry on the people, so what's the use of you? ”
Speaking of Zuihou, Jiang Long's sharp eyes were fixed on the face of the young sergeant at his feet.
The young sergeant felt the murderous aura on Jiang Long's body, and he couldn't care about the pain in his wrist, his face turned pale with shock, and his body trembled.
"Please, sir, please spare him once." Suddenly, the old man who was beaten knelt on the ground at this time and pleaded for mercy.
Jiang Long glanced at the old man, and then stared at the young sergeant's eyes, "I won't kill you, but your good days are already over."
Four fingers of your right hand were broken, and your left wrist was pierced by the officer, and you will be a cripple in the future! Naturally, the forbidden army will not want you anymore, and without the identity of the forbidden army, do you think you can still live as glamorous as before? If someone has been bullied before, they will come to the door to seek revenge.
In short, if you have done something, you will have to pay it back one day! ”
After speaking, Jiang Long stretched out his hand and pulled out the spear, and left with Guo Fang.
Mu Xuan was suspicious, Jiang Long and Guo Fang were naturally armed with weapons.
The moment the tip of the gun left, the young sergeant let out a cry of pain.
However, this pain is far less than the awakening brought to him by Jiang Long's words, and he will be crippled in the future, and he will no longer be a forbidden army.
Thinking of the difficult life in the future, the young sergeant was heartbroken.
There were all wounded people next to him, who only cared about the pain before, and didn't think much about it, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment.
If they don't ban the army, what can they do in the future?
The forbidden army was defeated in this battle, and the imperial court would definitely not give them too much money.
This group of young people, who have lived a prosperous life since childhood and have always been arrogant, discovered the cruelty of life for the first time.
The old man sighed softly, got up from the ground, and helped to call the military doctor to come over and give medicine to the young sergeant.
He couldn't bear it in his heart, after all, the young sergeant in front of him was just a doll who hadn't fully grown up in his eyes.
Guo Fang looked at Jiang Long again as he walked.
I feel that I can't see through the teenager in front of me more and more.
When they came to the outside of Mu Xuan's big tent, the sergeant in charge of the guard went to report first, and then let the two of them in.
Entering the big tent, Jiang Long and Guo Fang immediately saw Mu Xuan's face as gloomy as ink at this time.
The forbidden army has lost too many manpower in this battle, even if they want to conceal it, they can't do it.
Compared with it, the border army is much better.
"Master Guo, this official has discussed a matter with you." Mu Xuan first glanced at Jiang Long, and then he suddenly spoke.
Guo Fang hugged his fists and said, "Lord Mu, please speak." ”
"Under the leadership of Lord Guo, the border army in this battle has cut off the heads of many horse bandits, and this official wants to borrow the heads of those horse bandits." Mu Xuan said arrogantly.
After hearing this, Jiang Long understood that the forbidden army had suffered heavy losses, and Mu Xuan planned to grab some credit, saying that those horse bandits were killed by the forbidden army sergeants, and there were many losses, and there were many horse bandits killed, so it was considered to make up for the past.
Guo Fang has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and his brows furrowed, "Isn't this okay?" ”
"Huh?" Mu Xuan relied on the support of King Youxin and Concubine Cheng Guifei, and did not put an ordinary border army general like Guo Fang in his eyes at all.
"The last general said, this is not good!" Guo Fang had a hard temper and slowly straightened his waist.
Mu Xuan's face was ugly.
"If Lord Shepherd is willing to buy those heads with money, he can also negotiate with him." Jiang Long suddenly opened his mouth at this time.
Guo Fang was a little surprised and glanced at Jiang Long.
"How much is that head?" Mu Xuan's gloomy gaze glared at Jiang Long.
Dare to ask him for silver!
"There are people in the army who reward their heads with silver, and the price is understood, but every time a sergeant kills a horse bandit, he will also be credited with merit, and if he makes more meritorious service, he can be promoted, so Lord Mu naturally has to give more silver to buy the heads of those horse bandits." Jiang Long said unhurriedly.
"Do you think this official has to buy it?" Mu Xuan snorted coldly.
Jiang Long's sharp gaze stared at Mu Xuan's eyes, and said firmly: "If Lord Mu is not afraid of being blamed, you can not buy it." ”
Mu Xuan had an illusion that Jiang Long had seen through his thoughts.
It's just to subconsciously avoid it.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement.
Then he waved his hand rudely and asked Jiang Long and Guo Fang to leave quickly.
Mao Ming, Wang Chang, and Xu Youcai came in one after another.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the big tent, they heard Mu Xuan say in a deep voice: "This Jianglong can't stay!" ”
So the three of them just looked at each other.
After a while, far away from Mu Xuan's tent, Guo Fang asked curiously: "You want to promise to sell the head of the horse bandit to Mu Xuan?" "It's not to blame Jiang Long for being too talkative.
"Because he has a way to get other heads." Jiang Long looked at the night sky.
Guo Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "Are you saying that if Mu Xuan really can't help it, he will lead the sergeant to kill the people in Northern Xinjiang?" ”
"The junior brother has only recently collected all the information of Mu Xuan, and knows that this person is ruthless, he can do everything, and most importantly, he has a lot of backers!" Jiang Long said that, and roughly told Guo Fang some information about Mu Xuan's life experience.
These materials were sent by Mrs. Butterfly.
Guo Fang was silent for a while.
It turned out that Mu Xuan was in the camp of King Xin.
People who have backers are very bold!
Because if you do something wrong, someone will stand up and defend it, and you don't have to accept punishment.
Jiang Long's inference was not wrong, Mu Xuan did have the courage to kill the people of Northern Xinjiang and use them as horse bandits.
And Mu Xuan heard a lot about such things.
And it is indeed true, not a false rumor.
Returning to the border army, Mu Xuan asked his soldiers to spread the word, saying that Lord Mu was willing to pay a high price to buy the head of the horse bandits.
The sergeant of the border army had no opinion.
As long as it's not for nothing, it's fine.
When cleaning the battlefield, the sergeants of the border army had already cut off the heads of the horse bandits one by one, some of them were placed at their feet, and some of them simply tied their heads around their waists.
Accustomed to life and death, and the enmity between them and the horse bandits is as deep as the sea, these border sergeants will not be afraid of those bloody heads.
In their eyes, these heads are silver and merit.
The worse the fate of the horse bandits, the happier their hearts were!
In Mu Xuan's big tent, Mao Ming opened his mouth, "My lord, do you really plan to buy the head of the horse bandit at a high price?" Although he was not in the tent before, he, Wang Chang, and Xu Youcai were all eavesdropping outside.
"I feel that the Jing family kid seems to have guessed our thoughts." Mu Xuan frowned.
It's really guessed that Jiang Long has been staring at this side, and it's not easy for them to start.
And it's not that easy to get rid of Jiang Long.
First, Jianglong has good military force, and second, he is protected by border troops.
"Then ......," Wang Chang wanted to speak.
But Mu Xuan was already impatiently waving his hand, "We have a lot of things left and right, and if we can spend money to settle it, let's spend some silver." ”
Now the barracks of the forbidden army are already in chaos.
In addition, Mu Xuan had to pay salt to the merchants and get rid of Jiang Long...... It's already a mess at the moment.
If you really bring the forbidden army sergeants to kill the people of northern Xinjiang, then you have to clean up the mess.
One more thing, it's better to have less!
After a while, someone went to the border army and began to collect heads in a unified manner.
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
Mu Xuan received the heads, there were one hundred and fifty heads, and when he wrote an excerpt, he said that the soldiers of the forbidden army were cut and killed, which was a temporary solution to the problem of heavy deaths of soldiers.
The sergeant of the border army got more silver and grinned.
Jiang Long sat in the camp tent, but he didn't put pen to paper.
When the team encountered a sneak attack by horse bandits, he naturally had to hand over the fold to such a major event.
But how should it be written?
Did you really write that those horse bandits were killed by the soldiers of the Forbidden Army?
He came up with the idea of letting Mu Xuan spend money to buy heads, but ...... Mu Xuan wants his life!
Jiang Long thought for a moment and began to write.
After a while, the excerpt was written and sent to the nearest official post station.
The border army sent people on duty at night to let the frightened forbidden army sergeants have a good night's rest.
Jiang Long also fell asleep in the tent.
However, it was not a good night's sleep, because in the night, there would be a painful moan from time to time.
The next day, when it was dark, Jiang Long walked out of the camp tent only to find that the battlefield was a mess yesterday.
It was dark at night, and it was impossible to see clearly, and at this time, the puddles of blood on the ground were extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
He sniffled slightly, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
A moment later, a military order was issued, and the team continued to move forward in the afternoon.
And the seriously wounded sergeants will naturally be sent away.
