Chapter 24 The pro-people action hits the nail
Zhan Qi did not move on his side, and Yu Tianzheng did not see any movement on his side, so the two sides camped in one place and fought against each other from afar.
The army that came to meet the orders of the three princes only stationed in the camp after entering the barracks and did not make any other moves; As for Shangguan Hong, who led the army, after arriving at the barracks, he had been very busy patrolling around, and even the most inconspicuous cooking camp had to bother him to come in person.
When Shangguan Hong came to the cooking camp to inspect, it happened to be about to prepare lunch, and Du Xiaomeng inevitably ran into him.
Although it is said that her appearance after changing her appearance is far from the original, Shangguan Hong, who has only seen her side, logically speaking, cannot tell who she is at a glance; But now it is a face-to-face close contact with Shangguan Hong, and it would be a lie to say that he is not panicked at all.
Du Xiaomeng tried her best to be calm and calm, and lowered her head to busy with the work in her hands. Fortunately, lunch was being prepared, and the leaders of the cooking camp were all busy, and the smoke from the firewood and the cooking were everywhere.
Shangguan Hong stood on the side and watched, and a young man dressed as a soldier beside him pointed here and there, explaining to him the daily operation of the cooking camp. Shangguan Hong turned his gaze to everyone in the cooking camp while listening, and finally he stayed on Du Xiaomeng's body for a moment, and then turned his head to ask the soldier next to him who was explaining: "I heard that a young man came to the barracks to join the army on a snowy night two days ago, and was later arranged to come to the cooking camp, is that young man here?" β
I'm really afraid of whatever it is. Obviously, Shangguan Hong came to the cooking camp on purpose because he had accurate information, and he didn't come to inspect, but to find suspicious people.
Du Xiaomeng pretended not to hear his words, tried her best to stay calm, continued to do what she had to do, and never stopped the work in her hands.
The soldiers who accompanied Shangguan Hong were not so clear about the situation in the cooking camp, and he asked Brother Jin, "Brother Jin, which one is the recruit who just arrived in your camp?" β
Brother Jin, who was standing next to the board and chopping a whole pig, paused his movements, raised his machete and pointed at Du Xiaomeng with the tip of the knife, and said, "That's it." β
Shangguan Hong's sharp gaze fell on Du Xiaomeng's body, and said to Brother Jin: "Let that young man come over, this official has something to ask him." β
Du Xiaomeng's heart "Geden" for a moment, and secretly screamed that it was not good. Just when she was uneasy and quickly thinking of a way to deal with it in her head, Brother Jin didn't call her to go over to see Shangguan Hong.
"Lord Shangguan!" Brother Jin went against the usual glorious image of a kind old man and a good man, and he waved his machete excitedly and shouted at Shangguan Hong: "Didn't you see that we are all busy? The food under the barracks depends on us, and every day when it is time to eat, the cooking camp is so busy that there is smoke overhead! We are already short on manpower, and you still have to come to talk to my men at this time, doesn't this hinder us from working? If you want to ask what you want to say, please wait until we're done! β
After that, the knife in Brother Jin's hand quickly and accurately cut off a pig's hand, and while chopping, he also deliberately raised his eyes to look at Shanggong Hong. Look at his ruthlessness, as if it was not a pig's hand that was chopping, but Shangguan Hong, who was hindering their normal work.
Although Shangguan Hong said in front of Zhan Qi that he had studied the art of war for many years and had a lot of experience in the way of marching and arranging, he was talking about it on paper. He had never seen the real military camp life, let alone had in-depth contact with real soldiers, if it weren't for the coup d'Γ©tat carried out by the third prince Yu Tianjun, he would not have had the opportunity to lead the army to show off in front of Zhan Qi, let alone have the opportunity to see what a soldier's demeanor is.
Therefore, when he saw that Brother Jin, a veteran, could cut a pig's hand so murderously, he, the commissioner specially sent by the central government, couldn't help but feel a little timid.
The leaders of the battalions in the cooking camp are basically veterans who have followed Zhan Qi for many years, and they were originally dissatisfied with Shangguan Hong, the central commissioner who bullied General Zhan, but now they are excited to see the leader who has always been kind to people, Brother Jin, and they also actively follow and coax: "That's it! Lord Shangguan, this is not the place where a pampered high-ranking official like you should come, if you are not here to help, don't hinder our work here! β
Shangguan Hong's face couldn't help but change, but he was the right and left hand of the third prince, and he was finally a master who was accustomed to seeing big scenes and had some insight, his face quickly returned to normal, and he laughed casually, putting on a friendly attitude of caring for the people at the grassroots level under the senior cadres of the central government, and said: "You have all worked hard!" This problem of lack of manpower will be conveyed to General Zhan and will come up with a proper solution to help your cooking camp solve it. β
When he said these thoughtful words, the people in the cooking camp not only did not show gratitude, but no one paid any attention to him, and each went back to his post to busy. Shangguan Hong, who was ignored, saw this situation and knew that if he continued to stay in this place, he would only be bored with himself, so he left on his own.
As soon as he turned around, there was immediately the heroic laughter of a group of leaders behind him. The veterans who had seen the wind and waves made it clear that they would not sell the account of Shangguan Hong, the special commissioner who had parachuted here, and they would only obey Zhan Qiguan, and they would not take this powerless scholar into their eyes.
Du Xiaomeng also saw such a scene for the first time. She stared at the machete that slashed at the pig happily and neatly, and only looked at Brother Jin with admiration for a while, gave him a thumbs up and praised him from the bottom of her heart: "Brother Jin, good knife skills!" It's amazing! β
Shangguan Hong left, and Brother Jin turned back into the kind middle-aged uncle. He laughed twice and said, "Carving insect skills, what's not powerful." β
As soon as Brother Jin's words fell, another middle-aged uncle immediately took over and said to Du Xiaomeng: "Of course Brother Jin is amazing!" Boy, you just came in and didn't know his majestic history, when he was young, he had a nickname called 'Thunder Knife', carrying a big knife into battle and slashing invincible, slashing the enemy is a knife that has never missed! β
"Wow! It's true? Although the knife used to cut the enemy in battle back then became a pig chopping knife, which made people can't help but feel that "time is really a pig-killing knife for his grandmother", Du Xiaomeng still looked at Brother Jin with starry eyes and admiration in line with the atmosphere.
Brother Jin said with a smile while chopping pigs: "Amin, don't listen to their nonsense. β
"Boss, how can we blow it?" Another veteran immediately shouted, "You can't tell the story of your majesty for days and nights!" β
"That's it!"
The topic of how heroic this old brother Jin thought about back then easily aroused everyone's emotions, and everyone happily opened the chatterbox and said, in addition to the busy figure of everyone in the busy cooking camp for a while, there was a series of continuous laughter.
Affected by everyone's rising emotions, Du Xiaomeng also forgot about the shadow brought to her by Shangguan Hong for the time being, and laughed happily with a group of veterans.
Although there was a small episode of Shangguan Hong, the lunch provided to everyone in the camp was finally served on time without delay with the concerted efforts of everyone.
Du Xiaomeng stayed in the cooking camp to eat with the others, and as soon as she finished eating, Shen Wan came to her on Zhan Qi's order.
Sending Shen Wan to find her so solemnly, could it be that something big happened? Du Xiaomeng couldn't relax for a while, and her heart came up again.
Brother Jin squeezed his eyes at her and said, "Ah Ming, maybe the general has the intention of promoting you!" You don't have to be nervous, when you meet the general, you can do whatever he says! β
Du Xiaomeng felt that Brother Jin's eyes were very connotative, and his words seemed to mean something else. Whatever she says, does that mean that she is implying that she should not express her opinion and just go along with it? didn't have time to carefully understand the meaning of the words, she smiled back at Brother Jin and said, "Thank you, Brother Jin, for reminding me!" β
With that, she followed Shen Wan to the main general's tent.
