Torrent Volume Chapter 23 Things are in Quxia

Captain Li fell to his knees, cold sweat flowing.

He didn't know what he had done wrong, but he only understood that if he didn't handle it properly, he would die on the spot.

Xu Sheng, standing with his hands in his hands, his back to him, his face was even more gloomy to the extreme. The aura emanating from the top and bottom of the body was so aggressive, with a strong hatred and murderous intent.

Captain Li has never seen such Xu Sheng, unusual, like a demon descending into the world.

"You, you, what have you done! What did you do! ”

When Xu Sheng spoke, his eyes were blood-red, his voice trembled due to excessive mood swings, and his speech was unfavorable.

"...... me?"

Captain Li revealed deep doubts in fright, and he asked himself, everything has been according to Xu Sheng's orders recently, and there has not been the slightest transgression. How could you be so reprimanded?

"Me? Subordinates, subordinates really don't know! I still hope, I hope that the immortal chief will make it clear. ”

Captain Li thought about it for a while, and even if he wanted to break his head, he was still confused; simply, he said the question directly, and wanted Xu Sheng to give him a good time.

"You don't know?! Don't you know?! ”

Xu Sheng clenched his teeth, pursed his lips into a straight line, and said hatefully: "Sure enough, he is a big man in the Pavilion, where can he care about the life and death of the little people, in your eyes, I am afraid that the people in the city are like ants!" ”

"Huh?! Immortal Chief, why did you say this? ”

Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Captain Li suddenly felt aggrieved, he actually stood up suddenly under coercion, and said angrily: "My old Li has been in the army for 18 years, and he has ten years more military career than General Zhang Pi, and he is a full 16 years earlier than General Xu. In the past, as long as you don't die, who is not above me now? Some people say I'm incompetent, some people say I'm cowardly; However, in the past eighteen years, which march and war have my old Li been behind? If I want, I'm afraid I already have the position of general in my hands. It's just that in life, there are things to do and things not to do; Since the past to this day, I have never been able to be hard-hearted, after all, I can't careless about human life, not to say that I love the people like children, but I also have a clear conscience. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, I deeply love this land and its people. Immortal Chief's words today are really insulting to me! ”

"Well, you said you had a clear conscience, and you said you were simple and kind; If what you say is true, then I ask you, are you just taking my words as a deaf ear?! ”

Xu Sheng shouted and asked, and the "invisible secret power" naturally erupted, contained in the voice, and made Captain Li's entire body shock.

"What is that? Where do I disobey orders? This is even more nonsense, if this is regarded as a crime, then I will not admit it! ”

Captain Li's words were fierce, and he was already in an open posture, he didn't know how Xu Sheng was looking for something fabricated out of thin air, and asked for no reason.

"It seems that you really don't know, well, I'll let you die to understand."

Xu Sheng's face became darker, his voice became colder, he took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "Half a month ago, I ordered someone to inform you; The old man selling baked cakes in the alley at the west end of the city, only half of the grain was collected, and what did you do? ”

"Me?" Captain Li pointed to himself, then straightened up and said, "I did everything as I was told." ”

"Do as told?" Xu Sheng sneered and said fiercely: "I went to visit today, the old man had already starved to death at home, you said, you only received half of the grain?" ”

"I see," Captain Li woke up suddenly, and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Sheng's anger soared, his eyes were like knives, as if he could kill someone.

"It's me who is confused." Captain Li pursed his lips and said softly: "I didn't even see the deep meaning of the Immortal Chief, since the Immortal Chief specially explained, I must have taken care of the old man very important, I should take care of it seriously, it must not be as simple as just harvesting half of the grain." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Alas-" Captain Li sighed for a long time, then bowed deeply, and said slowly: "That old man only has eight catties and four taels of flour at home, and I was ordered to collect it in person, take away four catties and two taels, and the remaining four catties and two taels." If I were a smart person, I should not have taken anything, and not only would I not have accepted it, but I should have given some. ”

"You...!"

Xu Sheng was speechless when he heard this, and only his mind swayed.

Captain Li's words really broke some of his speculations; Originally, he thought that the old man's food had been forcibly requisitioned, and he was old and frail, and he was robbed of the food he was distributed, so he starved to death.

Now, he understands that the old man doesn't have much food at all, and if the food was enough, it was all a lie to him.

That is to say, when the old man had no time to take care of himself and the surplus food was about to be exhausted, he still stood in front of the stall and served him his favorite baked cakes regardless of investment.

"This...!"

What a friendship this is! What a great grace this is!

Xu Sheng thought about it, his eyes turned red.

As the current coach of Zhiyang, in front of his subordinates, he shouldn't cry; However, how can some feelings be suppressed?

"You... Let's go, it's me Meng Lang this time, and when Zhiyang is over, I will personally make amends to you. Xu Sheng stared at Captain Li seriously, and then bowed his head deeply.

"It's okay, if there is nothing else to do, the subordinates will retire." Captain Li returned the salute, and there was no joy or anger in his voice; Then, he turned and walked away.

In the empty hall, only Xu Sheng was left at the moment; He couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rained down and he couldn't stop sobbing.

"Why? Why did everyone I hold dear to me leave me in a hurry? Don't wait for me to cherish it. ”

Xu Sheng asked himself, his heart was like a knife.

This city, tens of thousands of people, has already overwhelmed him. He only felt tired, rubbed his scarlet eyes, and said weakly: "Brother, where are you?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Where is Xu Rampant?

Xu Yan had actually arrived a long time ago, and he was in Fuling Mountain, thirty miles northeast of Zhiyang City, hidden in the valley and ravine.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of elite enemy troops, even he felt that his scalp was numb, so he had to be cautious and did not dare to act rashly.

"Lao Xu, waiting like this is not a good strategy; We don't have much food and grass to bring out, but the enemy army is growing stronger day by day, and if this happens, we should not give up as soon as possible. ”

Xu Rampant sat on a big stone with a straw in his mouth; Beside him, a cold man who was not very old was frowning and speaking in a deep voice.

This cold and arrogant man is named Si Shaokong, and Xu Yan are brothers who have gone through hardships together, and they are extremely rare confidants.

Of the more than 10,000 people brought by Xu Rant, in addition to his own more than 2,000 headquarters, the rest are all Si Shaokong's family background.

In other words, Si Shaokong gambled his life to accompany Xu Rampant to do this risky killing!

He and Xu Ryan are the partners of Fan Chuan's "old coach", and the two have worked together for two years and have completed many tasks that are impossible in the eyes of others.

Later, the "new handsome" took the position, and it was because he was afraid of his tacit understanding with Xu Rampant that he forcibly dismantled the two and matched Xu Rampant with a "Zhang Pi General".

Now, the two who have tacit cooperation are getting together again, wanting to create a new miracle!

"I'm wondering, where did they come from?" Xu Yan spit out the straw in his mouth and said with squinted eyes.

"I still need to ask, the court soldiers, probably from Shenzhou, may have Liu Jiajun among them." Si Shaokong stared at Xu Yi, a little puzzled.

"No, I'm not asking this..."Xu Yan shook his head, then scratched his forehead, looked at Si Shaokong, and said very seriously: "I mean, which way are they going?" ”

"Which way? With such a scale, it must come out of the 'Bishui Pass', and the first stop is Zhiyang, not the Yangping Ancient Road, which is bound to pass through... Quxia! Si Shaokong still said very calmly at first, however, when he read the word Quxia, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little.

"I guess they didn't take the Yangping Ancient Road." Xu Yan pondered for a moment and sat up straight, his eyes revealing a firmness.

"How sure are you?" Si Shaokong's eyes were eager, and his eyes were like torches.

"Eighty percent"

"Can be done"

In a few words, the two of them had already made up their minds. They are like this, they have the same mind, and they often think of one place.

The form of the battlefield is changing rapidly, if you don't dare to do it, it is better to immediately unload your armor and return to the field, or wash your neck and wait for death!

A quarter of an hour later, the army began to assemble; Another half an hour passed, and more than 10,000 people were ready to go.

They are going to Quxia to gamble on the eighty percent possibility.

War is never 100% certain; Eighty percent, it's already well worth a try.

"Everyone, since I have come here with my si, I am my brother who has died, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Now, as you have seen, Zhiyang City is besieged by no less than 100,000 people, and if we are hard, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg; However, if you give up like this, where is the style of a strong man like me? I have discussed with General Xu, if you want to make a risky move, are you willing to take risks with me? ”

Si Shaokong stood in front of people, his eyes were pressing, and his voice was like a bell.

"I'll wait, I'll never give up!"

The momentum of tens of thousands of people roared in unison, like thunder. Si Shaokong couldn't help grinning when he looked at such a posture.

He has always had great confidence in his soldiers.

"In that case, I thank you." Si Shaokong looked in all directions, and then bowed his head deeply and saluted ten thousand people!

He has always respected the sergeants, so he is highly respected by the sergeants.

"Up!"

Si Shaokong signaled, and then Xu Ryan ordered...... 10,000 people in unison!

The army, methodically changing formations, under the leadership of Si Shaokong, advanced towards Quxia, which was hundreds of miles away; But Xu Yan stood in place, motionless.

"Brother, you have to hold on, the bloody storm is coming soon."

After a long time, the army had already walked most of this place, and Xu Rampant slowly whispered; Even though his vision was obscured by the dense mountains and forests, he was still facing the direction of Zhiyang......
