Chapter 36: The Iron Mask is Selfless
In the evening, he came back with a strong stormtrooper, and Lightning described to him the battle of the bull and elephant today, and could not help but dance when he talked about the highlights.
Vigorously envious and complained, "Why didn't you call me back?" And do you treat me as a brother? ”
"Didn't I have trouble leaving? With me in the side, those elephants won't dare to rush up, you know? "Lightning's reasons are quite strong.
"You have a point." Nodding vigorously and said, "Lightning, I am rarely around my eldest brother due to work, you have nothing to do every day, you must help me take care of him." ”
"Do you want to say this?" Lightning glared at him, "Take care of it!" Why do you say I'm idle? You seem to be busy. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Tie Ta was deeply moved, although he didn't need anyone to take care of him, but their heart was really rare.
"Vigorously, gather the stormtroopers, I'm going to give them a meeting."
"Okay, big brother." With a vigorous whistle, all the stormtroopers quickly ran over and stood in five rows.
"Yes, the order is out, and the movement is like the wind." The tower secretly praised himself, and he was also impressed by Dali, this kid really has some talent for leading soldiers.
"The charge is complete, please instruct the king." The sound was deafening and full of high morale.
"From tomorrow, the elephant herd will also come to Taoyuan Country to drink water, so I plan to reduce your share and give them the saved water, do you have any opinions?"
"We have no opinion, and we obey the king's orders." The prestige of the iron tower in Taoyuan Country is in full swing, and everyone sincerely admires him and supports him, and of course no one opposes his proposals.
"My lord, I have a problem." Raised his hand vigorously.
"Captain Mighty, please."
"King, water is the resource of our Taoyuan country, it stands to reason that only the citizens of our country are eligible to drink water, what does it matter to us whether the elephant herd has water to drink?" Asked vigorously puzzled.
All the stormtroopers were looking forward to it, and this was also where they were puzzled, it was one thing to obey orders as soldiers, but everyone had a knot in their hearts, and it was really unpleasant not to untie it.
"That's a good question." "The biggest enemy of Taoyuan is the Carnivorous Alliance, and bison and elephants are herbivores, so the conflict between us is not so bad that we have to fight to the death. As the saying goes, many friends have many paths, and today we helped the elephants, and if one day we are in trouble, maybe they will help too. ”
"Will we still have trouble with you?" The tower has become a god-like existence in the heart of the strongman, omnipotent.
"I'm not a god, how can I be unpredictable and the prophet can turn danger into a disaster!" Tie Ta said with a smile that sooner or later he would leave here to send his master to Huaxia, which was also to find them a trustworthy ally.
"I see." Dali suddenly realized, although the truth is a little profound, but he is not a particularly stupid person, and he can still figure it out after thinking about it carefully.
……
"What? The Bronze Hammer defeated the Iron Tower and healed him, and finally the two became good friends? The war couldn't believe the words of the sickle, "This is really stealing chickens and rice, and we will be in big trouble in the future." ”
The fear of war is not unreasonable, the elephant herd and the cattle herd are the two most powerful tribes in the grassland, neither of them can be easily dealt with by the Carnivorous Alliance, this time not only did not fight to defeat both, but instead brought them together, this is definitely bad news.
At night, Taoyuan Country was silent, and Dali was arranging for stormtroopers to be on night duty.
Water and grass have always been the most valuable resources in the grasslands, and there have been many wars between tribes over them. In the dry season when the water and grass are exhausted, these rare things in Taoyuan Country have naturally become fragrant and sweet, and secretly I don't know how many pairs of eyes are eyeing each other, of course, the iron tower does not dare to be careless, and orders to be vigorously guarded 24 hours a day, and cannot be negligent for a moment.
"Ryoko, you lead the first group to keep watch for the first half of the night. Hadron, you lead the second group to keep watch for the second half of the night. Patrol every half hour, remember not to be lazy, not to doze off, tomorrow it will be the turn of the GI and Xiaodong. As long as you do your job well, I will apply to Mr. Bai for a reward, you know? ”
"We got it." The team members replied in unison, "Please rest assured, captain, we will definitely be vigilant and resolutely defend the interests of Taoyuan Country." ”
"Head, what's the reward? Is it convenient to reveal? Ryoko asked in a low voice.
When foot-and-mouth disease was raging last year, Ryoko and his classmates were both tricked, and in the end, Tieta was cured by himself. After successfully graduating, their home has already arranged their whereabouts, that is, to join the army like their parents. Ryoko and Xiaodong were the best of that group of students, and now they have become the squad leaders of the stormtroopers, these two boys rely on their good relationship with the iron tower, and they always giggle at Dali in private, and they are not afraid of their superiors like others.
Saying that there is a reward is just a strategy to boost morale, and I didn't expect Ryoko to take it seriously. "Actually, you shouldn't be called Liangzi, but blind, it's really unenlightening." Dali scolded secretly in his heart, but his mouth was very enthusiastic, "Are you afraid that you won't have a sedan chair to sit on when you become an official?" Let's get the job done first. ”
It was late at night, and Lightning opened his eyes wide and observed carefully, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He is holding a nameless fire in his heart, and vigorously leads the stormtroopers to make a name for himself on the grassland, but he has no harvest, and he has not caught a person stealing water for a few months in office, which is too annoying, people with a little brain know that this is the improvement of the overall quality of the citizens of Taoyuan Country, and everyone will not do this kind of illegal thing at all, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and some rumors have come out of nowhere recently, saying that I am not capable of lightning, and the corpse is vegetarian, isn't this talking nonsense with my eyes open?
"It's so unfair that I wake up the earliest and sleep the last every day, but I still have to listen to other people's gossip, why are capable people always jealous?" The more lightning thought about it, the angrier he became.
At this moment, a sneaky figure appeared by the pool, he first let go of his belly and drank a few large mouthfuls of water, and then jumped into the pool, soaking his whole body in the water.
Who is so bold? How dare you violate the rules of Taoyuan Country? Lightning was horrified, but he was immediately excited again, and it was finally his turn to show his skills. He flew over silently, and looked at the thief with a familiar face, wasn't this the stormtrooper's strongman? I heard that he is still a team leader! I didn't expect to know the law and break the law.
"Don't you know it's a crime to steal water? It's a shame that you're so nervous about drinking water right now that you're still taking a bath. Lightning rebuked.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in my business? Hadron said disdainfully, and then a fierce man plunged into the water, splashing lightning and covering his whole body with water.
"Who you are has nothing to do with me, I only know that no matter who you are, as long as you violate the rules of Taoyuan Country, I will not be polite to him." Lightning said coldly.
"Boy, you listen to me, my father is Dashan, I am Xiaohua's half-brother, and now Brother Ta is the king of Taoyuan Country, then I am the uncle of the country, can't Uncle Guo drink some water and take a bath? If you are verbose, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. "Qiangzi is angry, he dares not to give me face, and tomorrow he will ask Sister Hua to remove you.
"Uncle Guo, do you see what this is?" Lightning shouted as he pointed to his face.
Qiangzi really leaned his face over, and took a closer look at Lightning's face was pitch black, as if it had been smeared with a thick layer of ash on the bottom of the pot.
"I don't know how much you know." Lightning said proudly, "This is Bao Gong's black face, which means that I am iron-faced and selfless." On his first day as the head of the supervision team, Tie Ta told him the story of Bao Qingtian, hoping that he could enforce the law impartially and be selfless. The lightning listened with relish, and Bao Gong's deeds were also remembered in his heart, and after being exposed to the sun for half a month, the former white-faced Xiaosheng finally became an iron-faced judge. This is like Bao Qingtian! Lightning was quite happy with his look.
"What is the Bao Gong Bao Po? I haven't seen it, and I don't want to see it. Hadron sank his head into the water and ignored it.
"It's terrible to be uneducated." Lightning sneered, "See how long you can be crazy." ”
As soon as the lightning flashed at dawn, he went to find Mr. Bai, although after a night, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, Qiangzi was really lucky, if it wasn't for the eldest brother's thousands of instructions, saying that he is also a person with status now, don't fight if you don't agree, or even use lynching, otherwise he would have been miserable last night.
Teacher Bai has already gotten up and is learning to do Tai Chi under the guidance of the Iron Tower, a very simple movement that the old man has learned for two mornings.
Xiaohua is fighting vigorously on the other side, although she is the same master, she is much more skilled than Teacher Bai, and young people have an advantage in learning things.
"Lightning, what's wrong?" The tower laughed.
Lightning made a report on last night's events, and then asked, "Big brother, what do you say you should do?" ”
Tie Ta didn't answer, and looked at Teacher Bai with an inquiring eye.
Teacher Bai looked embarrassed, "Wang, Xiaohua's mother passed away early, she was brought up by Qiangzi's mother, and her relationship with this younger brother is not bad." Now that Xiaoshan is gone, Qiangzi is Dashan's only son, and he can't say anything to let him break off! I'm going to talk to Hadron now, I believe he won't do it again in the future, so I'll spare him this time! ”
The tower turned to Xiaohua and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Xiaohua held his hand tightly, "No matter what you do, I have no opinion. ”
Iron Tower's heart warmed, and then ordered: "Lightning, notify everyone to have a meeting." ”
The cows stood neatly and neatly, and everyone's faces were filled with a heartfelt smile, which was the love and support for Taoyuan country.
The matter of the strong son has been decided, looking at this group of lovely compatriots, his thoughts are even more firm, Taoyuan Country is the common home of everyone, and it must not be easily destroyed by some people.
"Folks, on the first day you came here, I warned you that you must abide by the rules of Taoyuan Country, and you have indeed done a good job, I am very happy."
The warm applause in the herd was the result of everyone's joint efforts and was worth celebrating.
Tie Ta waited until the applause was over, and then continued, and his tone began to become heavier, "But a very unpleasant thing happened last night, Qiangzi secretly went to the pool to drink water and take a bath, and he didn't listen to the advice of the monitoring captain Lightning, what do you say I should do?" ”
If you can't punish the doctor, everyone understands this truth, not to mention that the strong son is still a relative of the emperor, and the king's fanfare may just be putting on a show, will he really be punished? The cows were silent, and everyone knew in their hearts that it was more appropriate to remain silent than to express their opinions.
"If a person makes a mistake, he will be punished." Tie Ta said sternly, "According to the regulations of Taoyuan Country, I announce that I will expel Qiangzi from Taoyuan Country. ”
What? Expelling the hadrons? Did I hear me right? Everyone was stunned.
Hadron was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and without the protection of the herd, his end was a dead end.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, no matter who he is, as long as he violates the laws of Taoyuan Country, I will treat everyone equally, and I will not show favoritism." Tower's tone was as cold as ice.
"Sister Hua, save me ......" Qiangzi was driven out by the stormtroopers, and the wailing sound kept echoing in everyone's ears like a long-sounding alarm bell, and everyone showed a look of awe on their faces, and they were secretly reminding themselves in their hearts: "You must abide by the law, and you must not do anything illegal and break the law." ”
"King, you are really iron-faced and selfless!" Mr. Bai was full of emotion, he was the elder of the four dynasties of the Mara tribe, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of righteous annihilation.
"Teacher Bai, I have no choice but to do this." Tie Ta looked solemn, "If I don't punish Qiangzi today, then others can be like him in the future, and all the citizens of Taoyuan Country can mess around, and the regulations formulated at the beginning have become a dead letter." I can't imagine what the Taoyuan Congress would be like without legal constraints, but I can say with absolute certainty that without the help of the Carnivorous Alliance, we will bring down the Taoyuan Country ourselves, and people will be displaced and slaughtered, which is something that no one wants to see, and I am doing it to save more people. ”
"My lord, I see." Teacher Bai admired him so much, with such an iron-faced and selfless king, the future of Taoyuan Country will be even better.
