Chapter 43: Acacia

Sunset City, in the barracks, in General Su's military tent.

Tang Shan knelt on the ground and waited for General Su's departure.

General Su's face was gloomy, and he sat at the top, and did not speak for a long time.

Tang San was sweating profusely, which shows how he was feeling at the moment.

Perhaps thinking that the time was almost up, General Su slapped his big hand, slapped it on the table, got up and pointed to Tangshan on the ground, and angrily reprimanded, "You are so bold, leading the troops to fight, do you think it is your personal heroism?

Xiao Bao stood aside, staring at the topographic map behind General Su and couldn't help but lose his mind, he was startled by the sudden roar, came back to his senses, moved to the side lightly, and distanced himself from Tangshan.

"The last general is guilty, the last general deserves to die, and I am willing to be punished by the general!" Tang Shan replied in a trembling voice.

General Su stood above, looked coldly at Tang Shan, who was kneeling, and snorted coldly and ordered, "In this case, come here, take it down, and kill it!"

Boom~ General Su's words smashed into Tang Shan's mind like five thunderbolts, and Tang San sat on the ground, his face was like ashes, and he was powerless to refute.

Two soldiers came outside the military tent, and they were about to take Tangshan out of the ground and kill them!

"Wait!" Xiaobao hurriedly stopped.

The soldier stopped, General Su looked at Xiaobao, his eyes were puzzled, Tang Shan saw Xiaobao speak, hope rose in his heart, and he looked at Xiaobao beside him anxiously.

Xiaobao arched his hand and pleaded for Tang Shan, "General, Captain Tang's crime will not lead to death, I hope the general will think about it carefully and then give an order!"

General Su frowned slightly, and ordered in a deep voice, "Crime is not to death? I don't think it's a pity to die, haven't the casualties been counted, you give him a good talk." ”

"This..." Xiaobao's face was embarrassed, a little difficult to speak, according to the casualty data, Tangshan is indeed not a pity to die.

General Su saw Xiaobao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and scolded angrily, "What is this, what do you say, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Bao saw that General Su's anger was in his heart at this moment, and he didn't dare to touch his angry eyebrows, so he truthfully reported the casualties, "There are more than 1,300 soldiers who went to fight this time, more than 700 were killed, more than 200 were seriously injured, most of the remaining were wounded, and more than 3,000 bandits were annihilated. ”

Even if Xiaobao aggravated the last sentence, it can be seen that General Su didn't listen to it at all, and pointed to Tangshan on the ground and scolded angrily, "Look, this is what you call the rabble?

The more Tang Shan listened, the more frightened he became, it was all because of himself that the soldiers who were originally fighting on the battlefield died here in advance, and replied loudly, "The last will be punished!"

At this moment, Tangshan can only apologize with death, hoping to comfort the soldiers who died for his willfulness.

"Take it down, and torture it immediately!" General Su commanded.

The soldier stepped forward, and Xiao Bao was also very guilty at the moment, if he hadn't forced Tang Shan, would he have done this, would the soldiers have been like this? Out of guilt, Xiao Bao crouched down and pleaded with General Su, "Xiao Bao begs General Su to show mercy to his subordinates, and the archers killed by Captain Tang have survived most of the soldiers! And I didn't know in advance that the mountain bandits had united in advance!"

"Hmph! This matter should not be discovered in advance? Even so, as a general, you can't abandon the army and ignore it, this is a capital crime!" General Su said sharply.

Seeing that General Su had no intention of letting go, Xiaobao secretly made up his mind in his heart, and said respectfully, "If the general insists on this, then Xiaobao will be beheaded together!"

General Su's eyes widened, and he pointed at Xiao Bao and said sharply, "Don't think I don't dare!"

"Then the general will give the order!" Xiao Bao crouched on the ground and pleaded.

Tang San was on the side, looking at Xiaobao begging for mercy for him in a daze, and gratitude surged from the bottom of his heart. Now he has no grievances against this young man, he is moved and admired!

"You..." General Su pointed at Xiaobao and stopped talking, didn't know what to say about him, shook his hand and turned his back, waved his hand behind him, and said, "Tangshan's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! Now you are demoted one level, and you will be given a hundred military orders, and the remaining soldiers will be merged into Captain Huang's troops to guard Sunset Mountain, and General Ben does not want to see you in this barracks again." ”

After that, the soldier immediately stepped forward and walked outside the military tent with Tangshan, and Tangshan thanked as he walked, "General Xie's grace not to kill, General Xie's grace not to kill!"

Xiaobao smiled and was about to speak, General Su turned around and said in a deep voice, "Captain Huang still has something to do, if there is nothing to do, let's retreat!"

Xiaobao listened to General Su's words with anger, and unlike usual, he called his position, knowing that General Su's anger had not dissipated, he didn't dare to be angry, so he hurriedly surrendered and said, "General, the last general will leave!"

After that, Xiaobao walked out of the tent quickly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiaobao walked out of the military tent, General Su sighed slightly and muttered to himself, "This time I really lost my wife and broke my army!"

He thought that he could use a small amount of losses to remove Tangshan from his post, but he did not expect that the number of soldiers killed in this battle would be as high as nearly one-third of the entire battalion, and if the military department found out, he would have lost his head at this critical moment! No wonder General Su was so aggressive, and the strength of the two lieutenants was now reduced to only one lieutenant, which made him deeply worried.

The Gero Dynasty, in the middle of the national capital, in a magnificent palace.

The Khan was sitting in the hall of the book, flipping through the books, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, when he heard a shout outside the hall, the guards opened the door, and the maid ran into the hall in a panic and knelt on the ground.

Khan frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

The maid was sweating profusely and replied intermittently, "But... Khan, great... It's not good, the princess is gone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Khan stood up and asked anxiously, "When did you find out?"

"The slave maid was about to bring the princess to wash the bedding, but when she found that the room was empty, she immediately came to report it!" said the maid in fear, her whole body trembling, obviously startled by the Khan's momentum.

The Khan shouted outside the door, "It's coming!"

The guards pushed the door open and crouched on the ground waiting for instructions.

"Order, the whole palace is under martial law, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the princess!" the khan commanded sharply.

The guard agreed, and hurried out.

"Quick... Quick..."Patrols quickly shuttled through the palace, searching everywhere.

In the book hall, the khan walked back and forth, his hands clenched, he knew in his heart where Ling'er would go, and he only hoped that Ling'er could not leave the palace, so that he could have a chance to stop her, and now two hours have passed.

The guard stepped on the door, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Khan, the entire palace has been searched, and there is no princess in sight. ”

The Khan took a few steps back slightly, and said in a continuous voice, "Quickly block the whole city and search in the city!"

"Yes. The guards took the order and retreated.

Looking at the departing figure of the guard, the Khan prayed silently in his heart, Ling'er, you can't joke with the Great Khan like this!

Tonight, the capital of the Gero Dynasty, is destined to be a sleepless night.

In a carriage outside the city, a handsome man sat in the car, raised the curtains, and reluctantly glanced at the capital behind him.

The carriage drove off into the distance on the dusty road.

In the Sunset Mountain in front of Sunset City, Tang Shan was lying in the tent, and there was a hot pain in his buttocks, which made him unable to sleep.

Under the moonlit night, wolves skewered into the Sunset Mountain, making the originally silent Sunset Mountain much more lively at once.

The wolves looked at the full moon in the sky and howled.

Woo woo ~ woo ~ The sound of wolves was heard in the brightly lit Sunset Mountain camp, and the soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but shudder.

Tangshan, who was already unable to sleep, heard this wolf howl, and his heart became even more restless.

The soldier entered the house with hot water, carefully took off Tang Shan's pants, revealing his bloody buttocks, and gently wiped the blood stains on it with a towel.

As soon as the towel fell, Tang San gasped and scolded angrily, "Why do you want to hurt me to death, lightly!"

The soldier immediately slowed down his movements and wiped carefully, not daring to anger Tangshan.

"Lord Duber, there are so many wolves in the mountains, do you need to tell you to go up?" The wolf howl kept coming, and the soldier couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help but ask.

"What, scared?" asked Tang Shan, lying on the bed, glancing at the thin soldier.

The soldier replied in a trembling voice, "Yes... Somewhat. ”

Tang San showed his eyes and said slowly, "It can be said that a soldier instigates one, and will instigate a nest, think that your previous generals must have been weak and incompetent, and now that Captain Bendu is here, after Captain Bendu's injury heals, you are not allowed to do this, not just a few little wolves, you just wait to observe the heroic posture of this general." ”

Tang Shan said, seeing that the soldiers didn't dare to reply, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, waved his hand and ordered, "Okay, okay, go down after wiping!"

"Yes. The soldier agreed, hurriedly packed his things, and hurried away with a basin of water.

Tang San looked at the thin back of the departing soldier, pursed his lips, and muttered, "Cut, cowardice." ”

In Sunset City, Xiaobao sat in the military tent and opened the letter sent from home, which had been sent for some time, but he was too busy to open and read it recently.

The letter was the same as when Xiaobao was sent, a total of two letters were returned, one was from the father's mother, and one was from the mother, and the father and mother explained to Xiaobao in the letter, eat more and wear more, don't worry, they are all words of concern, and they are also written at the end of the book.

After Xiaobao finished reading, he missed home more and more, closed his eyes and leaned lightly on the back of the chair, and after easing his emotions, he carefully packed the letter and took out his mother's letter.

Xiaobao smiled, shook the letter gently, there was a thin sound inside, I don't know what the mother put in it, opened the envelope, took out the letter, poured out, and a red bean fell into Xiaobao's palm.

"Red Beans!" Xiao Bao muttered, placing Red Beans on the table and unfolding the letter.

There is only one verse in my mother's letter:

Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.

May you collect more, this thing is the most lovely.

The smile of the mother appeared in his mind, grabbed the red beans on the table, and in his hand, this poem entrusts the thoughts of the mother, so that Xiaobao can't help but feel a little guilty, and soon after the marriage, he embarked on a journey, separated by a hundred miles.
