"Lord Chu, you see, what is the use of such a sour rotten scholar staying on my side?" Xue Hu looked at Chu He: "My lord, my three river mouths are important border passes, and the left and right villages are guarding this river valley, so there can't be any problems!" That Shanyin Village was handed over to this kind of sour and rotten scholar, and he really couldn't rest assured. ”

"Sour rot! Hmph, I love the soldiers like a son, and I love the people like a son! How can you be like you, squandering the people's fat and ointment everywhere! ”

Chu He said lightly: "You guys, have you made enough trouble?" ”

Looking at Chu He's cold expression, the surrounding generals stood up in unison: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Only, only Xue Hu stood proudly.

"What, do you have an opinion?" Chu He glanced at him.

"This official has just been promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank Zhaowu captain a few days ago, and I am afraid that he is one level higher than you, Lord Chu, the commander! However, the Black Armor Army has the right to detect, so General Ben will give you some face! I'll just give you a few points before! ”

"It's ridiculous." Lin Lao seemed to have heard some big joke.

"My lord, my lord, Lord Chu is the third grade! Positive three products! The bookkeeper on the side hurriedly pulled Xue Hu's arm.

"What? Is the third product? Xue Hu's legs suddenly weakened: "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"My lord, I've told you so many times." The bookkeeper whispered helplessly.

"Lord Chu, Grandpa Chu, Ben General, isn't it...... I was wrong. Xue Hu scratched his head again and again: "I'm just a rough person, where do I know this, just now the account room asked me to carry what salt merchants, what grain and grass, I have been carrying it for a long time, and I am dizzy, and I can't remember your grade at all......"

Chu He said lightly: "But I see that this village is well maintained. ”

Xue Hu scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's all, my cousin Xue Long, and many soldiers, as well as Mr. Wu, and ...... Oh yes, there's also this account room, in short, I'm a rough man, and what everyone says is what. ”

Song Nian was speechless, he used to think that although this General Xue Hu was greedy for money and lustful, he was also a great talent, but now it seems that it is also the "crystallization of collective wisdom"? The lines are all prepared by the "secretary"?

However, this kind of thing is not an accidental phenomenon, Song Nian still remembers that the golden period of a Hong Kong movie in his previous life was the period when he was ruled by the Black Society, because the Black Society did not know how to make movies, so he could only listen to everyone, and he would not point out indiscriminately, but made a lot of good movies. Later, wait for the capital to go in...... And then it's over.

"That's it. I have come today to investigate the case. After Chu He finished speaking lightly, Lin Lao stood up and said, "Remove the banquet." ”

Xue Hu was embarrassed for a while, this banquet was only halfway through, and the bookkeeper hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "General, Lord Chu's matter is important." ”

Only then did Xue Hu say eagerly: "Hurry up, hurry up and withdraw." ”

A dozen servants came up and removed the feast that had not been eaten much, and emptied the long table.

Zhao Da immediately took his bow and shot an arrow.

A moment later, the black-armored sergeant carried up the body of the border sergeant.

The long table that was originally full of delicacies was placed on the neatly cut soldier.

"Look at it, Shu, Ding Yi, three thousand two hundred and seventy-five, whose soldiers are it?" Chu He tapped the back of the corpse's hand.

"Lord Chu, tens of thousands of people under his command, how can I know." Xue Hu scratched his head.

"If you don't even know the number of the soldiers, then ...... A master like you? "The meaning of the Chu River threat is self-evident.

"Accounts, accounts! Take a look at this ......," Xue Hu shouted again and again.

"Lord Xue, don't shout. This man is from your subordinate Ding Mao camp. He Lu looked at the hand and shook his head slightly: "Unexpectedly, this soldier did not die on the battlefield, but died in the wilderness. ”

"My men?" Xue Hu shook his head again and again: "My subordinates Ding Mao Battalion are all stationed in the fortress forty miles away from here, I just went there a few days ago, and the personnel are all in order, how could I suddenly run to Lord Chu's side?" ”

The bookkeeper stepped forward to check it a few times, frowned, and said, "But my lord, this tattoo and number are from Ding Maoying." ”

"How is it possible, you must be mistaken!" Xue Hu waved his hand: "There are three hundred people in the Ding Mao camp, neat and tidy, how could I be mistaken!" ”

"My lord is not mistaken, the Ding Mao camp is indeed full at the moment, but this number is really familiar...... the bookkeeper pondered for a while, and then patted his head and said: "My lord, I remember, this is ...... This is this winter's deserter. He was caught by the adults once and fled again, and the people who pursued him at that time said that this person fell into the river and either drowned or froze to death, so his list was also deleted. ”

Xue Hu stepped forward to check a few times, and laughed: "I think about it, this kid, he eats and drinks well, and he dares to escape?" Look at it, this whip is no wonder it looks familiar! ”

Song Nian frowned slightly: "General Xue, it's not a good thing to always whip soldiers. ”

Xue Hu said unhappily: "These untouchables, as long as they are willing to work hard and don't run away indiscriminately, how can I abuse them." But when a deserter ...... That's sorry! ”

Lin Lao also whispered on the side: "Master Song, this is a matter of the border army, and we can't manage too much." ”

Song Nian snorted, the implication is that I am nosy?

"Deserters?" Chu He frowned: "Since he is a deserter, why does he carry a secret letter on him?" And how many things are special for the border army? I think it's very well maintained, not like a deserter. ”

"Lord Chu, how do we know this?" Xue Hu spread his hands, "I have tens of thousands of people under my hands, and I have to guard the border hundreds of miles long, where can I take care of so much." ”

Chu He's brows furrowed slightly.

I thought that bringing this corpse to the door for questioning would have some effect. I didn't expect that this Xue Hu didn't eat hard and soft, and with a sentence of "deserter", he shirked everything.

"Master Chu, just now you said that the deserters still carry secret letters, can you let us see, I think this person may have defected to the barbarians outside the Saiwai, maybe he is helping those barbarians pass on information." Xue Long said respectfully.

But who can't understand the meaning of his words? This is the "barbarian" who leads the "deserter" to the ethereal "barbarian" in the desert outside the border pass.

"This letter...... It's not convenient for you to see. Chu He frowned, and Song Nian obediently took over the conversation on the side: "Since it is a deserter, then our Black Armor Army must also investigate the matter of 'His Majesty is not strict'." ”

The charges must be put on the border army first, and then the border army can be obedient and worthy of the investigation work that follows. Song Nian has a lot of experience in deducting the "original sin". With original sin, it is good to atone for sin.

"Your Majesty is not strict? Hum! Dare to ask the master of Song, how can you be a woman, and get the position of the master book? ”

Facing Xue Long's questioning, Song Nian dealt with it indifferently: "Naturally, I have made meritorious contributions to the study of the new army rations, and I was given an official position by Lord Chu. ”

"What kind of new army rations, I also saw what your soldiers ate today, hmph, those things, long-distance battles may be of some small use, but they have no effect on our border troops who stick to the border pass!"

Xue Hu mercilessly belittled the "new army food" that Song Nian had worked so hard to get was useless.

However, He Lu, who was on the side, was very interested: "The new military rations developed by Lord Song, in fact, we have also heard of it, and it is said that carrying it with you can even allow soldiers to eat on the way, without starvation, and not to dislike fighters for burying pots and cooking?" ”
