Chapter 3: Meaning
Su Ye's expression didn't look like asking his name, but like treating him as an indifferent existence, and under this kind of look, he was like a dead man.
It is not uncommon for this kind of look to appear in an old man who has been weathered and experienced too much, but it is unusual to appear in the body of a young man.
Su Ye looked at the person in front of him, there was no color in his eyes, but the middle-aged man looked at Su Ye imperceptibly, as if he wanted to guess Su Ye's origin, so as to confirm whether his words were nine true and one false or nine false and one true.
Su Ye stood there, the middle-aged man's official robe had a strange color, which was caused by washing many times, and there were traces of patches inside the hidden cuffs, which made him have a trace of appreciation in his eyebrows, but it was impossible for the middle-aged man to see his origin.
"You've been wearing your robes for many years." Su Ye didn't wait for the middle-aged man's answer after thinking, but stared into his eyes and said slowly.
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, but he was not afraid of people laughing at him for not being promoted for many years, and he had no money to change his official robe, he was still silent, wanting to see what the young man in front of him could find in him, and how much he was capable of.
"You should have disagreed with the group of people just now, and they have been suppressing the path to promotion......" Su Ye didn't seem to see the embarrassment on the middle-aged man's face, and continued without hurrying.
The middle-aged man's heart moved slightly, and there was a slight change on his face.
"No matter what you do, you want to be promoted or rich, prove your ability." Su Ye threw out a sound transmission jade talisman, which was the movement of the Japanese slave three days ago, and the purpose was Xiaowan.
Previously, Li Qun came to look for him not because of the hundreds of people in Xiaowan, but because he killed all the prisoners he was holding, using the excuse that there was not enough food and grass in the army and did not support useless people.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Everyone, please put down the sword in your hand, the general asked me to prove my ability." ”
In other words, "Get out of the way, I'm going to start pretending." ”
He didn't hesitate at all, Su Ye slightly revealed his ability, then he also had to prove that he was not a mediocre person, he opened the sound transmission jade talisman in his hand at this moment, listened carefully to the information, and analyzed the movements of the Japanese slaves.
The information in this sound transmission jade talisman was actually more detailed than what they had obtained in Donghai County, and even some of it was information that they were not aware of.
Although he was surprised, he forced himself to calm down, he knew that because his remarks were guarded by Donghai County, he had not been promoted, and he was all under B in the coming year, telling the court that he was such a mediocre official, barely enough to put on a bad look.
Even letting him stay in this Donghai County is for him to watch and suffer his life.
He can understand the form of Donghai County, but he does not have the ability to change it, and he has been working hard over the years, but he can barely maintain the prosperity of Donghai County.
But now from the sound transmission jade note that Su Ye gave him, from Su Ye's attitude towards the Japanese slaves, he actually felt the possibility of change, he breathed a little fast, and hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be listening carefully to the sound transmission of the jade rune.
He had longed for countless times that a great man would pass by Donghai County, so that he could be reused and fully utilize his talents, but after all these years, the princes, nobles, and inspection envoys all turned a blind eye to him, and if it weren't for the thoughts in his heart, he would have been obedient a long time ago.
This time he came, he didn't have any hope at first, and the group of people brought him over to follow the normal process, so that he was just dead, he didn't have much feeling for Su Ye never leaving prisoners, how many people he had seen didn't stick to it, or they had interests in mind.
But it wasn't until he came here that he saw Su Ye's strength.
is different from the people he has seen in the past, he doesn't seem to care about any interests, open and secret battles, like that kind of pure person, just to go into battle and kill the enemy.
"I'm ......" The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his voice trembling a little: "I found that most of the main forces of the Japanese slaves are still cowering in the sea fortress, but from the intelligence, we can see that they have been crashing like headless flies for some time before. ”
"The previous practice was almost the same as the current one, but I found that this time the Japanese slaves would deliberately leave some useless things every time they attacked to confuse the public, so they wanted to repair the plank road in the dark."
"Every time a little people are left, it seems that our side has won, a few people, a dozen people have no need to go to the sea to catch them, let them bury the belly of the fish."
"But if this group of people did not die, but gathered together, it would be a small army, secretly logging in on a thunderstorm, establishing a base, and over time the number of people will increase, and finally attack our defense line on both sides."
"Don't look at the Japanese slaves so short, but they have a ruthlessness, this kind of thing of soaking in water and pretending to be corpses, they can do it."
The middle-aged man said, suddenly excited, this information was already a few days ago, maybe this group of slaves had secretly landed somewhere.
"General, ...... quickly"
Su Ye interrupted him, looked at the middle-aged man suddenly, seemed to be able to see through his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It's good to think of this, but there is no need to send someone to look for it, General Ben has been lurking for a day and a night, and he has killed them all last night." ”
The middle-aged man was swept away by Su Ye's eyebrows, and suddenly had a feeling of being seen through, he thought that his mind was not bad, and the previous abnormality was deliberately expressed, and when he heard Su Ye's words at this moment, he was relieved in his heart, and at the same time shocked by Su Ye's approach, he was only guessing about the information, and Su Ye actually went in person without the slightest hesitation.
For Su Ye, he still underestimated him.
"General Yesu is amazing, I admire it!" The middle-aged man's expression returned to normal, hiding his contempt, looking at Su Ye, and slowly speaking.
"You know that our general is powerful, but our general is tall and hard."
"You should tell me what you came from, whether you listen or not, you don't need to say anything else." Su Ye didn't waste time on this, but asked directly that he wanted to find Penglai without the help of the locals.
"My name is Chu Sheng...... the middle-aged man's voice lowered, but the tentative meaning was gone: "I am a Taicang Cheng from Donghai County, because of my official position, I have always heard of the trade of Japanese slaves, and the Japanese slaves have always given gifts to the officials of Donghai County, opening the door to convenience...... Over time, there will be endless troubles, so I want to ask the general to clear the Japanese slaves for Tokai County. ”
"If the general doesn't believe me, you can follow me to Donghai County to have a look."
When the middle-aged man said this, he looked at Su Ye with his peripheral eyes, wanting to see something from Su Ye's expression.
Su Ye thought about it slightly, although he was the captain of Captain Yao, he was not the chief general of the East China Sea defense line, if he acted rashly...... Soon, Su Ye suppressed the thoughts in his heart and caused a big mess to use the blood sacrifice, which was not his style of acting.
Standing up and walking towards the military tent, he could hear that most of what Chu Sheng said was true, this information can only be found out by heart, and he doesn't need to lie.
Until Su Ye left, the middle-aged man was stunned, he had already thought of a lot of words in his heart, and was even ready to give up his dignity, as long as Su Ye was willing to agree, but as Su Ye left, his thoughts and preparations were useless.
