Chapter 293 - Outside the Ambush Tent
Seeing that Gu Xiao was a little evasive, Xu Andong was alert, although he was recruited into the patrol army by General Gao, in the past few years, even if the patrol soldiers may not recognize all of them, as long as they are patrol soldiers, they have an impression, but the young soldiers behind Lao Jin have no impression at all.
Alert, when Xu An wanted to ask questions again, he was stopped by Lao Jin.
"General Xu... This... Iā" Lao Jin pretended to be embarrassed and spoke.
Seeing Lao Jin's embarrassed look, Xu An's vigilance suddenly disappeared, and he said bluntly: "What are you, me, Lao Jin, if you have anything, you can say that Xu An is not one of those people who don't eat oil and salt, and he can talk about it with ease." ā
"He... I... Alas, no matter what, I don't dare to deceive General Xu, this kid is my cousin in my hometown, he has studied hard for ten years, and his name is still Sun Shan, and his old family knows that I am under the command of General Gao, so he asked him to come to me, he... I used to be a scholar, so I didn't use weapons, so I simply let him enter the camp to work as a cook, and it can be regarded as a livelihood. ā
Lao Jin is an honest man, all the patrolling garrisons know it, it is an iron-faced general like Xu An, and he also knows Lao Jin's temperament, if Lao Jin brings his cousin into the army to eat the soldier's salary, maybe Xu An will reprimand, but just to be a kitchen officer and eat with his skills, Xu An doesn't want to embarrass Lao Jin anymore.
What's more, there are still unwritten rules in the army, that is, I would rather offend the chief general than offend the kitchen officer and the general, at most I will be beaten with a board, even if it is a beheading, a big scar on the head, and a good man after eighteen years.
But if you offend the kitchen officer, march and fight, and can't eat a mouthful of hot food, that is, when you win a battle and eat a military banquet, you will eat stones, sand, and even saliva food.
"Hahaha, I said Lao Jin, what's the matter, are you still worried that I will reprimand you, such a trivial matter, there is no need to be sneaky, you... It's not going to be cut first, is it? ā
Xu An looked up to the sky and smiled, but seeing that Lao Jin looked embarrassed, he knew that he was ashamed of his own lie, but he was worried that he had not reported the matter of bringing his cousin into the camp to General Gao, and asked.
Lao Jin panicked: "How dare you, little one, this is not the general who has come to the distinguished guest these days, and he has never found a chance to show the general." ā
Xu An is in a good mood today, not because he was promoted to deputy commander, but because he found that the top boss he had always looked down on was actually a general who pretended to be a pig and a tiger, and was both wise and brave, which was undoubtedly the most comfortable for Xu An.
Whether it is depressed for many years, or the grievances he has received, how can he not make people laugh if it is not for the military law that you can't drink alcohol on the march, Xu An really wants to drink him, Fang Shu Yaxing today.
This little thing of Lao Jin, in Xu An's eyes, is not a problem at all, listening to Lao Jin talk about not yet taking his cousin to be a kitchen official, Yu Gordon, pushed away Lao Jin who still wanted to stop him, paced at least in front of him, raised his big hand and patted the young man's shoulder to speak.
"Boy, follow your cousin to work hard, learn good cooking skills, and when you return to your hometown in the future, you can also have the ability to be around, Lao Jin, your cousin's matter is on me, I'll go and talk to the general." Xu An looked back at Lao Jin and smiled.
I patted the young man on the shoulder, but the second time he slapped it empty, looking back, I saw that the young man was already holding his shoulders and sitting on the ground, only then did he remember that this young man was a scholar, and he was a person in the army, so he inevitably had heavy hands, and retracted his hand to be embarrassed: "Lao Jin, I, Xu An, am a rough person, you don't have to be surprised." ā
Lao Jin said with a smile: "How dare the villain, by the way, General Xu, you just came out of General Gao's big tent, where are you going?" ā
As soon as these words came out, Xu An's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked towards a camp tent in the distance, his eyes showed murderous intent, and muttered: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot important things, Lao Jin, you will send some mutton leg rabbit meat to General Gao's big tent in a while, and General Gao will entertain distinguished guests." ā
Lao Jin heard the words of sending wine and meat, and said it from General Xu An's mouth, he was already secretly frightened, who didn't know that this iron-masked general Xu An had always looked down on his own general, how could he enter the main general's camp by himself, he had changed so thoroughly, what did his own general say to him.
In the clouds, Lao Jin didn't know what medicine General Xu was selling in the gourd, but thinking about it, General Xu would not give orders nonsense, so he hurriedly straightened up, and wanted to respond, but suddenly remembered that those sheep soups had been poisoned by the gourd, and hesitated to speak: "Obey, Lao Jin will go and prepare, but..."
Xu An knew Lao Jin's thoughts, and only thought about what Gordon told, but didn't take Lao Jin's hesitation to heart at all, and after casually saying "Don't forget", his eyes stared, looked at a tent in the barracks, slightly showed killing intent, and walked away quickly.
Looking at Xu An in the distance, the unexposed old Jin Kankan breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself with a bitter face in an instant: "How is this good, I have to be punished." ā
When he was in a dilemma, the young man behind him had already slapped the snow all over his body, and the words of General Xu were heard by the young man, and he naturally knew why Lao Jin was distressed.
whispered a few words in his ear, Lao Jin's eyes lit up, nodded yes again and again, and no longer stayed, leading the young man to the camp tent.
āā
In the big tent of the main general, Gordon sat on the throne of the main general with a solemn face, and the name of his bastard general and straw bag general over the years was not only resounding in Yanbei, but even above the court, he regarded him as a person whose brother was powerful and the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and the mask was worn for a long time, and he almost forgot his original face.
"Messing around, wandering around, how to get a bastard, and what Wan Jun has in his hand, no matter what, I know that you are different from your brother, if things are done properly, your brother, I will not blame the past." Gordon remembered the words of the Ninety-Five, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Withdrawing his thoughts and looking outside the tent, Gordon only hated his brother for being confused, not distinguishing between right and wrong, and actually nesting with these snakes and rats.
and his sister, who was taken by his eldest brother since he was a child, spoiled his temperament, and finally ended up in Liuzhuang.
Since childhood, the family has been poor, and the three brothers and sisters have depended on each other for their lives, and now their lives are getting better, but they are separated forever, and Gao Deng hates this golden knife gate, but he didn't expect them to be so bold and reckless, and they entered Mo County in a grand manner, hurting so many people's lives, and even wanted to use the poisonous plan to destroy the county to cover up the crime.
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Lord had decided to eradicate this thief, he really didn't know how to pretend to be any longer, would he really want to bring the patrol army and slaughter the people of Mo County?
Judging from the sentence of the saint, "If you lose your son, you win your son", if you are not determined to eradicate these bandits, I am afraid that you will really let yourself cooperate with that group of people and commit this thing that people and gods are angry about, and then you will really fall into a dilemma.
Gordon's heart was slightly cold, and his spine was cold, thinking that he couldn't bear to slaughter innocent people, but if he resisted the order, even if he held the military power, he would be like Wan Jun... It's okay if it's just to dismiss the military power and escort him to Beijing, but he is not Wan Jun, and he can't do the dragon's work.
Thinking of General Wan, I don't know what he resisted, why did the saint have to take Yang Huchen's life, what is in Wan Jun's hands that the saint is afraid of, Gao Deng doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to think about it, the most important thing at the moment is to take down the snow-clothed young man first.
The two masters who were afraid of him before, now they will calculate, these two masters can leave with confidence, and now there are only more than fifty people left beside him, and there are ten times as many people in the patrol army at this time, thinking of this, I can't help but increase my confidence.
What's more, he had already let these soldiers eat and drink with the guards brought by the young man, and he had already let the other party relax, and now he only needed to invite Wang Heng to the big tent and take him down, and the crowd under him would be leaderless, so they would naturally be captured.
Settle down in your heart, at this moment, it has been an hour since Xu An went to invite someone, and after careful calculation, he should come back, thinking of this, Gordon temporarily gathered his mind and whispered to the outside of the tent.
"Someone's coming."
"Yes." The people in armor entered in response, these people had cold faces, indifferent eyes, and they knew at a glance that they were all the elite of the elite.
"You waited outside the tent, just waiting for me to drop the cup, rush in, and capture that person." Gordon's tone was indifferent and calmly ordered.
A group of armor soldiers were ordered to retreat silently.
Gordon got up, paced outside the tent, looked at the reddish night sky, and muttered: "I think the herald has arrived, and what the master said is yes, he must first settle down inside the outside, and he will recover the Jin land one day." ā
Under the night, the firelight reflected the sky, and the same firelight reflected not only the sky that was burned red by the beacon tower, but also in the camp tent at this moment, next to the firelight of the stove, the two were whispering.
Gu Xiao looked at the rat that spit out black blood from the corner of his mouth next to the bowl of mutton soup, and secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the patrol defenders did not follow the march, and let the soldiers each raise the fire to make food, otherwise the little colonel was poisoned, and I am afraid that they would all be poisoned at this moment.
Also glad is Lao Jin, if General Gao really drinks this soup, he will die and will not be able to atone for his sins. At this time, in the camp tent, Lao Jin had already driven out the other cooks, leaving only himself and the young man.
Turning his head to look at the young man, Lao Jin dispelled all doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to imagine that the commander was so ruthless, and said with palpitations: "Shaoxia, this... The general is also going to set up a banquet, and now these sheep soups are all poisoned by the gourd, don't you say that there are still commanders in the army, why don't we show the general and investigate and capture them thoroughly. ā
Gu Xiao replied in a low voice: "Catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, not to mention that the gourd is dead, even if he doesn't die, we have no evidence that this poison was given by him, that is, in front of your general, he instructed someone to bite back, how do you justify." ā
Lao Jin suddenly said: "What the young man said is very true, so what should we do next." ā
Gu Xiao said with a smile: "I want to come to the commander, but I haven't found out that the matter has been revealed, I heard the general say that your general is going to have a banquet, why don't we come to a general's plan, so that he doesn't recruit himself, wouldn't it be better." ā
"Yes, yes, yes, in this way, he can't deny it, but now..." Lao Jin was already obedient to the young man, but looking at the messy stove in front of him, all the mutton soup meals were no longer edible, how to do this, I couldn't help but ask the young man for a solution.
When the young man heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he heard the words of the general "lamb leg rabbit meat" he met outside the tent, and he had an idea in his heart, and said: "You send someone to pour these inedible mutton soup food as far away as possible, and by the way, disassemble these stoves, and I will go back." ā
Lao Jin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the young man's gourd, but at this time he had no other way but to follow the young man's method and instruct a group of cooks to carry out the poisoned sheep soup and pour it into the snow outside the camp.
According to the young man's instructions, he dismantled the stove and waited for the young man to return.
After a while, the matter was over, Lao Jin stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and looked sideways, the young man had already lifted the curtain and entered, carrying several snow rabbits in his hands.
Seeing this scene, Lao Jin's eyes lit up, and he was flustered, and he forgot that the mountains in the north of the wild are full of game, especially hares, which are the best ingredients at night, and he immediately opened his mouth.
"Great, boy, Lao Jin will show you a hand, roast rabbit stunt, give me a hand."
Before the words fell, he saw that the young man had handed the boning knife on the desk to his hand, and the young man's voice sounded in his ears.
"Go and skin the snow rabbit and gut it."
Lao Jin couldn't help but stand on the spot, since he became General Gao's kitchen officer, it was the first time that someone let him do this kind of cooking.
However, looking at the young man's expression, he seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, and Lao Jin couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly took the knife and started immediately.
Some people died, but not completely......
