Hearing Ling Tong say that his father died in battle, Tai Shici did not bypass the topic, but sighed: "Hey, it's going to be fine." ”

"What will be fine?" Ling Tong asked with obvious hostility.

"The 'future' will be fine, when the lord sets things right and cleanses the world, our children will not lose their fathers because of the war, and they will no longer have to wait for their husbands to come home every day, but they can only wait for a jar, or even just a piece of news, and they will not be drawn more than half of their manpower every year, and they will be out of breath with two hoes...... "Tai Shici said.

After gradually taking over the responsibility of catching wind guards, Tai Shici has a more direct understanding of the first-hand information of the people.

For example, the commander and the chief, although they are all grassroots officers and generals, they ...... Their wives and children are not living very well.

is just a military commander and a long general, and many of them are just concubines of the side branches of the wealthy family, in fact, their ordinary life is no different from that of ordinary farmers, and even unemployed and idle people...... Or rather, "Ranger Child".

In Yangzhou, which is guarded by the General's Mansion, the army has always believed in the "elite soldiers" line, with a total strength of only more than 100,000 and no more than 120,000, and has gone to the grassroots garrisons of various ordinary counties, and the main battle army that can show its hands is only about 80,000 - with the individual configuration of the General's Mansion, there are too many to raise!

However, in terms of the allocation of grassroots generals, the General's Mansion has always been full and sufficient, and there are nearly 15,000 generals in the 80,000 main battle army......

Of course, it is not surprising that the other princes have 200,000 troops.

Therefore, military families are also a large group in Yangzhou.

Even if there are ordinary people who don't have generals at home, life is just as bad now, and the princes have overdrawn their manpower, and they have entered a vicious circle!

"The future...... However, the dead will not come back. Ling Tong's tone calmed down.

At the same time, I saw a cold light flash on Ling Tong's waist, and he actually copied out a dagger and stabbed it at Tai Shici's waist!

Tai Shi Ci didn't have the slightest vigilance against Ling Tong before - after all, it was in the battle of Jiangxia, and there were generals who made meritorious contributions first, if even such a person had to be wary, Tai Shi Ci was afraid that he would have to open his eyes even if he sleek.

However, at the moment when Ling Tong pulled out his knife, the undisguised and distracting killing intent, as well as the sound of the dagger slashing through the air, made Tai Shici instantly alert, although he didn't know what was going on, he still pounced forward.

At the same moment, a cry of pain came from Ling Tong's mouth, and two bloody rays bloomed in the night of the alley next to the General's Mansion......

One is Tai Shici's lower back, which was cut two fingers deep by a dagger, but fortunately he fell forward in time, otherwise his waist may not be saved......

The two were Ling Tong's palms, which were pierced by a thin branch at this time!

Because this branch is not as thick as the tip of the chopsticks, it is only three inches long, and when it "drills" out, it seems that the spirit snake is out of the body, fast and treacherous, so it is very inconspicuous in the night.

However, this inconspicuous branch directly pierced Ling Tong's palm, causing his dagger to fall to the ground, losing the opportunity to continue attacking!

At this time, an "ordinary woodcutter" walked out of the night......

"I thought it was going to be unfavorable to Bai Gong, but it turned out that the target was Ziyi you." The woodcutter said apologetically.

When he discovered Ling Tong's abnormality before, the reason why he didn't take action immediately was that there was no evidence, and secondly, it was ...... I want to see if there are any big fish.

didn't expect his target to be Tai Shi Ci, but fortunately Tai Shi Ci reacted quickly, otherwise his waist would be gone......

And near the left side of the General's Mansion, there was such a big commotion, and naturally someone immediately copied it to the side of the alley.

A look of despair flashed in Ling Tong's eyes—he had clearly made up his mind that no matter what the price, he would kill Tai Shici to take revenge, but ...... Now the price has to be cashed out, and I actually failed!

As for why the woodcutter in the General's Mansion had such skills, Ling Tong didn't have time to think about it.

But at this moment, Tai Shici's face changed several times and then quickly got up, facing the guards who were rushing forward, blocking the injured Ling Tong behind him and said, "It's okay here, General Xiao Ling just fell, what kind of excitement do you see?" ”

When several guards saw that it was Tai Shi Ci, they hurriedly laughed a few words, hugged their fists and left-although Tai Shi Ci has now been transferred to the Wind Catcher, most of these guards were brought out by Tai Shi Ci, so naturally they would not suspect anything.

Or rather...... At most, I suspect that Tai Shici and Ling Tong have any personal grudges, and they just had a fight!

At this time, the black light is blinding, and I really can't see that Tai Shici was almost taken off his waist just now......

The woodcutter was also on the side, but he didn't question Tai Shici's decision, just "towned" on the side.

After several guards left, Tai Shici immediately tore his clothes—of course, his own—and barely bandaged the wounds.

"Why help me?" Ling Tong asked as he glared at Tai Shi Ci.

"Who is your father?" Tai Shi Ci asked with a cold face.

At this time, no matter how sluggish Tai Shi Ci was, he also knew that Ling Tong's previous words meant something.

"Shucheng is the first general...... Ling! You probably don't remember anymore, do you? Ling Tong wanted to be sarcastic, but looking at Tai Shi Ci's own bandage, he inevitably softened his tone.

"Well, I don't remember." Tai Shi Ci continued to have a cold face.

"You!" When Ling Tong heard this, he resurfaced angrily.

"On the battlefield, do you still have to remember everyone you killed?" Tai Shi Ci said calmly.

"Just for what you said...... Future? Ling Tong asked sarcastically.

Seeing that Tai Shi Ci didn't answer, and the bandaging had been completed, Ling Tong continued to ask, "Then why did you lie just now?" Could it be that the famous Tai Shi Ci has only killed enemies and not assassins? ”

"For the 'future.'" Tai Shi Ci said after a pause.

Apparently...... It's not about the future of Ling Tong, it's about the future of the Great General's Mansion!

At this time, the third line started a war with Jingzhou, and the road led by Jiangxia Sun Ce was the first to have results, and Chen Gong's road was not the main force, as for Chen Zhi and Zhang Xiu's attack on the upper reaches of the Huai River, they were encountering some "small troubles", and the military information sent to Bai Tu at the banquet before, as well as the order that Tai Shi Ci had just gone to Chengji Mansion to convey on his behalf, was about Yiyang.

If the news of Sun Ce's subordinates assassinating Tai Shici comes out now, no matter how much Bai Tu and Sun Ce trust each other, it is inevitable to transfer Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others back - the former chief of the guard who assassinated Bai Tu...... To put it farther, is it the attempt to assassinate Bai Tu that he retreats to the next second?

It doesn't matter what Bai Tu and Sun Ce think and how they communicate, no one in the entire General's Mansion, from the Sixth Department to the Privy Council, can tolerate this situation, Sun Ce continues to lead troops outside......

"Bo Fu actually asked you to be the representative of the merit, hehe." Tai Shi Ci now wanted to immediately carry Sun Ce in front of him and slap him a few big mouths...... If it weren't for Sun Ce worshipping his father.

Hearing Tai Shici's words, Ling Tong's eyes also turned red, although he didn't have much of a big picture, but he didn't think about the impact this matter would have on Sun Ce, so he had been entangled before.

It's just that...... He was still thinking very shallowly!

At that time, the best situation is that the Western Expedition will be frustrated, which may affect a series of grand strategies in the future, and at worst, the Great General's Mansion and Sun Ce's Department will face a split - among the Sun clan, there are still many people who are self-reliant and immortal, and now they are just lurking.

Therefore, Tai Shici's first reaction was to cover up the matter first......
