Chapter 14 A Fool Without Guts
The Suyang Huangshi Camp has always had little noise, and only on the afternoon of the fifteenth and thirty-second days of each month, when the hunting team that went out to patrol came back, it would be lively.
The leader of the team who went out to hunt in the first half of this month was Shen Hui, one of the ten deputy commanders of Su Yang, the battalion commander of the Su Yang Sentinel Battalion.
"Eh, Brother Shen Hui, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that you have gained a lot from going out this time? It's really worthy of Shen Hui's brother, and it's really my Su Yang's first brave general! On the huge training ground of the barren camp, a particularly loud voice suddenly came from outside the temporary camp where the corpses of many desolate beasts were parked, and Shen Hui, who was arranging his subordinates to sort out the prey, heard this familiar voice, and his face, which had been straight, suddenly showed a smile, and he took a step towards the comer.
"Brother Xu Hua is really ashamed of the little brother, what is Su Yang's first brave general, there are three major commanders in front of Zhuyu, no matter how much the little brother does not measure himself, he is not worthy of this title. It is the name of Brother Hua Su Yang's first God of Wealth that is truly worthy of the name," Shen Hui smiled and greeted the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, a personal guard immediately understood, trotted back to the camp, and he held the hand named Xu Hua, and walked affectionately to the house next to the training ground, and said as he walked, "Brother Hua and I haven't seen each other for a long time, don't think about going back today, you and I won't get drunk tonight." ”
Xu Hua, who had no businessman's atmosphere, smiled and nodded: "Okay, good, but I have to say ugly things in front, I came today for the few bottles of good wine you hidden, if you are reluctant to take it out and use the self-brewing of the rabbit cubs on Yang Street to fool me, I will turn my face and not recognize people." ”
Shen Hui smiled and clapped his hands, took the lead in pushing open the door and walked into the house, and after letting Xu Hua in, he gently closed the door and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, you can rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied with your brother, Xiaoyu?" ”
Shen Yu, who was guarding the room, walked out nervously, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was known as the "No. 1 God of Wealth of Su Yang", he didn't have much majesty, he stood there and looked at Shen Yu with a smile, just like an ordinary uncle next door, but Shen Yu was so nervous that he was about to breathe.
Xu Hua, one of the ten major forces of the Terran Race in the Eastern Continent Wilderness, the sub-manager of the Li Consortium in Su Yang, and a legendary figure in Su Yang.
Yes, for the people of Suyang, especially the homeless people in the upper street of Suyang, Xu Hua is a legend, a living legend, and it is still rumored in the nest of the homeless people on the upper street that Xu Hua, who was just a homeless person who was not even a beggar forty years ago, exchanged an apple core for a copper dollar, and then used this copper yuan to start the story of his legendary family history.
Xu Hua smiled and looked at the nervous and sweaty Shen Yu, waved his hand at Shen Hui, who hated iron and steel, and said to Shen Yu with a smile: "You are Shen Yu, I have heard of you, you are a very good young man, you became a first-order desolate man at a young age, Shen Hui's brother has your son, and he will be blessed in the future." ”
Hearing this, Shen Hui's dark face finally eased a little, and he coughed at Shen Yu, and Shen Yu, who was still fluttering because of Xu Hua's praise, immediately woke up like a dream, and ripped off the red silk covering the table, and the brilliance emitted by more than ten crystals of different colors suddenly illuminated the cabin.
Xu Hua held his chin and looked at Shen Hui with a smile, waiting for his explanation.
Shen Hui smiled a little embarrassedly, waved his hand to signal Shen Yu to go to the door to guard, rubbed his hands and looked at Xu Hua and said: "Brother Hua, you know what Shen Hui usually looks like, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter this time, I wouldn't have asked you, you just look at our brother's friendship for so many years to help my brother, okay?" ”
Xu Hua smiled without saying a word, and casually picked up a crystal from the table that emitted a pale silver light, the crystal was hexagonal, about the size of Xu Hua's palm, and it was cool in his hand, and he could faintly feel the surging desolate energy contained in it.
Xu Hua's clenched hand slowly loosened, put down the spar, looked at the trace of blood in the palm of his hand and frowned silently, and then said to Shen Hui with a smile: "Brother, don't be too anxious, you can first tell me what you want your brother to help you with." You called me over so eagerly, and then showed me such a lot of things, and said such a bunch of things to me, and then you didn't explain to my brother what was going on, you made my brother and I have no bottom in my heart. ”
Shen Hui let out a long sigh, pulled over a chair, stretched out his hand to invite Xu Hua to sit down, sat opposite him, and said leisurely: "Brother Hua has been doing business in my Su Yang for thirty years, and I think that the familiarity with my Su Yang is definitely not below me, so I will make a long story short, Xia Wei, Xia Commander, have you heard of it?" ”
Xu Hua nodded: "This is natural." Ten years ago, I was the first person in the Suyang Desert Battalion, even if it is the two major commanders now, the two of them were not his opponents back then, but I heard that the adult disappeared in the desert five years ago, what? Could it be that the adult is back? Sizzle......" Xu Hua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, "Brother, your sentry battalion seemed to be the direct army of that adult back then?" ”
Shen Hui smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from you, brother, that's right, the commander of Xia disappeared in the desert that year, and there was no one to lead the sentry camp under his command, so the two commanders handed over this matter to my brother." You know the character of the elder brother, the most annoying those bends and curves, at that time, the means of the whole army were a little ruthless, I originally thought that Commander Xia was not there, there is nothing to worry about, who knows that a few days ago, my brother I went out on a hunting patrol, and when a few clever guards under my command were on guard, I actually met Commander Xia who returned from the desert, and it is said that I will return to Suyang in ten days, this is not afraid that Commander Xia will settle accounts after the autumn, so I thought about looking for my brother to take a look......"
Xu Hua shook his head and said: "Brother, you look down on me, brother, although I, Xu Hua, am the number one figure in our Su Yang, but to put it bluntly, he is just a businessman," Xu Hua smiled bitterly, "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials and businessmen, not to mention that Commander Xia is notoriously unruly, I, Xu Hua, really don't have that much face to make peace in front of Commander Xia, and this matter, to put it mildly, is Commander Shen's fault." ”
Hearing this, Shen Hui's eyes darkened, and he sighed and said, "I don't understand this, it's just that I'm unwilling." Brother, don't worry, brother won't make it difficult for you, please come this time, the younger brother didn't expect you to help make peace, the younger brother asked for another thing. ”
"Oh? I don't know what else is going on with Commander Shen? ”
Shen Hui listened to Xu Hua take a bite of Commander Shen, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well, bowed his head and said, "Brother heard that my brother has a caravan going to Nanjing City recently, I wonder if my brother minds if he minds multiple people to help?" ”
Xu Hua was such a human spirit, and he immediately understood: "Commander Shen wants Shen Yu to go on a business trip?" ”
Shen Hui nodded: "Xiaoyu is eighteen years old this year, it's time to go out for a walk." ”
Xu Hua hesitated a little and said: "From Su Yang to Nanjing, there are many crises along the way, and it is common to lose manpower, can Commander Shen think about it clearly?" ”
Shen Hui closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "I will take out two second-order desolate soldiers from my command to accompany me, and the elder brother can dispose of them at will, if there is danger, they will die first, and then my son." ”
Xu Hua also felt that it was a little unkind to say it again, and nodded: "Since the elder brother said so, it would be too much for the elder brother to refuse." ”
Shen Hui raised his head suddenly: "So the deal?" ”
"Deal!"
It was already dusk when he walked out of the barren camp, but the light of the setting sun was no longer able to penetrate the thick radiation clouds in the sky, and only a blood-colored dark red on the edge of the sky was unwilling to send out the last afterglow.
Xu Hua walked slowly on the upper street, letting the wolf-like eyes of the homeless people cut him fiercely, but he didn't care. The homeless people watched Xu Hua walk from the street to the end of the street, and finally gave up their plan to loot the fat sheep that seemed defenseless.
Su Yang has not been peaceful these days, the Black Tiger Gang and the Su family have started to fight again, and the zero group, which has been outside the war between the two gangs, is also seizing the time to expand its territory, and those who dare to hang outside alone at this time are either fools or masters. It's just that the price to get the result is too heavy, and the homeless people who know how to protect themselves are no longer willing to use their lives to verify whether this fat sheep is a sheep or a wolf under the sheepskin after the scavenger group was publicly executed by the Black Tiger Young Master last time.
Xu Hua walked out of the upper street slowly, looked back at the street where there was no movement at all, his eyes paused slightly in the direction of the barren camp, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature: "What a fool who has no guts." ”
After saying this, he waved his hand, and the two guards who had been hiding in the shadows followed him and swung back to the dungeon.
Generally speaking, if a person has evil thoughts in his heart, then everything he sees will be full of malice. Feng Xia, who was seriously thinking about how to kill someone, felt that this sentence was too true, especially the big boy with a smile on his face standing in front of him now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt full of malice, so much so that Feng Xia wanted to punch him in the face to see if he would keep this smile.
Looking down at his sister, who was also smiling brightly after seeing the person who came, Feng Xia touched his nose and felt that the malice in the boy could no longer be solved with one punch......
"Why are you here, I remember I seem to have said that our brother and sister are clear with you." Throwing his sister back into the house who wanted to greet the visitor, Feng Xia leaned against the door with a big grin, making it clear that he would not let the visitor into the house, and squinted at Bai Qidao, who was dressed in a white military uniform that had not changed for thousands of years.
Bai Qi still had that good-tempered appearance, and said with a smile: "Naturally, Brother Feng Xia doesn't have to worry too much, the younger brother has no other meaning to come this time, he just has official business to do." ”
"Official business?" Feng Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Qi in front of him who was smiling but without any flaws.
Bai Qi nodded, reached out and took out a gilded letter of appointment from his arms, handed it to Feng Xia with a suspicious face, and said slowly: "This is the letter of appointment personally signed by my father last night, and I specially asked me to send it to my brother today. ”
The content of the letter of appointment is very simple, and the large characters are concise and clear: "Su Yang Fengxia is hereby appointed as the third lieutenant of the Huangshi Battalion, and he will go to the Huangshi Camp to report after completing the preparation on March 20, and there shall be no violation." ”
Feng Xia took the letter of appointment, glanced at it and threw it aside at will, once he was promoted to the desolate soldier, he could be exempted from the lieutenant assessment and directly become the lieutenant of the desolate battalion. This was one of the promises he had made after handing over all the resources left by his parents to the commander of the Desert Battalion. So Feng Xia was not surprised by the arrival of these things, after all, it was not for nothing that he made such a big disturbance at the gate of the barren camp.
Feng Xu, who was curious but suffering from his height, hurriedly ran over to pick it up, and after seeing the content on the letter of appointment, he pouted and threw it aside, and then, like his brother, stretched out his hand to look at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked confused: "Eh, what is your brother and sister?" ”
Feng Xia looked at Bai Qi with an even more confused expression: "The lieutenant should be assigned a house in the family area according to the rules, don't you know?" ”
Bai Qi covered his face a little broken: "Brother, don't you think that the letter of appointment is more important than the real estate certificate?" ”
"No kidding, how can a house be affordable with an appointment letter, hurry up, we will wait to move."
