It has been three days since Jiang Dai and Fang Zhongjin quietly infiltrated the mansion of Man Cha, the leader of the Gong Guard Army.

During this time, Mancha did not show the slightest change because of this sudden visit. still admonishes his subordinates every day, asking to catch enough women to return to the palace according to the king's wishes.

Such a requirement that is becoming more and more difficult to meet, naturally has the courage to complain to Mancha. A tall and burly man replied with a bitter face: "General, it's not that the brothers don't help. But I couldn't find a woman on the road. ”

When others heard this, they knew that someone finally dared to tell the truth, and they also echoed it. For a while, there was a cry of distress on the school ground. Thanks to Mancha's strict management of the army on weekdays, he has always been known for treating his subordinates well. If it had been someone else, how would they have survived to this day? Some people would have mutinied a long time ago.

I didn't expect that today's Mancha is different from the past. He did not calm the emotions of his subordinates, but looked at everyone with an iron face. It wasn't until the soldiers gradually noticed that the general seemed to be in a bad mood, and then slowly calmed down.

Mancha waited until the dead silence returned to the school field, and everyone did not dare to look up into their eyes. He slammed the eyebrow stick he was holding to the ground, and the old man who was about to reach the age of the sixtieth birthday still had a terrifying momentum.

When the rest of the soldiers who were being reprimanded heard the sound of the stick, it was as if the stick had been drawn on their heads, and their necks shrank. From the moment he joined the army, the painful memories of being trained hard by General Mancha came back again.

Man Cha saw that he was still there, and he was satisfied. He cleared his throat and said, "I know you've had a hard time. But let's hold on for a while. After this time, if the Assassin does not show up. The king will surely understand our plight and will not ask us to pursue it any further. ”

He looked at the people in the procession with his majestic gaze, and said, "No matter what means you use, I will always complete the king's mission." If there are no Assassins in the streets, go into the house and hunt them down!, rest assured, no matter what kind of obstruction you encounter during this time. I'm standing behind you to support you. In the past few days, our Gong Guards have put aside all other important tasks for the time being, and we will always complete the king's instructions!

The soldiers in the parade shouted in unison: "Yes!"

This sound was loud and neat, resounding throughout the school field. The old general looked at these fresh and young faces, and silently said in his heart: "Duhe, my son, I have done all this for your father!"

No one noticed whether there was a trace of staggering in the back of General Mancha's departure. All the soldiers were already in a depressed atmosphere, silently lining up and leaving in the opposite direction.

When the crowd dispersed, the one who had spoken to Mancha before walked out with a bitter face. Suddenly, I felt someone put their arms on their shoulders. When I looked back, it turned out to be another lift.

Laituo is a man with a slender body and a rat beard. I saw Lai Tuo say to him: "Rolling Jie, don't be in a hurry to catch someone, let's go have a drink first." ”

Although it is against military discipline to go to a tavern to drink during the day, the resentful Tiju Jie still followed Lai Tuo into an inconspicuous small restaurant.

This restaurant is not located on the street, but is hidden in the alleys where private houses are gathered. If it weren't for the fact that the wine in this house is really good, it would have closed long ago. This small restaurant, which has few customers on weekdays, has been crowded with people in recent days. As soon as Jie entered the restaurant, he saw an empty storefront, and even the bartender was dozing in the corner.

The two of them woke up the bartender and sat down in the most secluded corner. After the wine came up, Lai Tuo lowered his voice and said to Jie Jie: "Brother, in the entire Gong Guard Army, I will accept you as an understanding person." Do you think our general is old and confused?" he said, and a pair of slender eyes stared at the rough Jie Jie.

Jie Jie was taken aback by what Lai Tuo said. He looked up and looked around, and there was indeed no one else. The bartender had gone back to his corner to continue sleeping. He looked up again and carefully studied Lai Tuo's expression, and finally said, "The general's wisdom is much higher than ours. It's just that I don't understand what he means by doing this. He kept saying that he was catching the Assassins, and what are we doing now to catch the Assassins?"

Lai Tuo took a sip of his wine glass and said, "It's just that I don't want to be responsible." You have a point, too. The wisdom of the general is much higher than ours. We think he's old and confused, but in fact, he's just saying pretty things, and it's us who die after all. ”

The anguish in Jie Jie's heart in the past few days has been pierced by others, and it is like opening the floodgates to release the flood. He slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "We have always respected the general's character. But this time he really didn't want to take on it for us. What is the difference between us going on like this and sending us to death? If we can't catch the woman and go back to the king...... Censorship, we will eventually be overstaffed. ”

Lai Tuo's arm was slender, he held down Jie with one hand, lowered his body and said: "I usually walk around a lot with the little general, and when I talk to him about these things, he also thinks that the general is not authentic. It's just that there's really no other way to do it now. The little general he was talking about was Mancha's son Duhe.

Rolling Jie waved his hand and said, "These distant things are not something that my brain can consider. I'm just worried that today's mission will never be completed. Then he pointed out the window and continued, "You see there isn't even a sow on the street now. Where else are you going to find any woman?"

Lai Tuo smiled when he heard this, and said, "Actually, who is our king? The reason why he is so angry is not because we can't hand over ten women on time. It's the woman we sent...... It's all too ugly. I haven't taught enough a few times before, just because there are a few passable-looking ones in it. The king didn't want to fight or kill. If we can find a beautiful woman with the king's will, even if there is only one, this day's errand will be accounted for. Ten sows can't race a single sable!"

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he still frowned and replied, "Can I not understand the truth you said?

Lai Tuo leaned back in his chair proudly and continued: "The beautiful woman of the commoner family is gone, doesn't the rich family hide their daughter? The daughter of the rich family is far more beautiful than the daughter of the poor. Maybe we just need to send one, like the first queen, to the king's appetite. Not to mention a one-day mission, maybe there will be no such ridiculous orders again!"

Rolling Jie looked at Lai Tuo suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean by this?

Lai Tuo smiled and said, "Do you remember what the general said in today's lecture?" I'm standing behind you to support you. During these days, our Gong Guard will put aside all other important tasks for the time being, and we will always complete the king's instructions!'" Lai Tuo smiled and imitated the general's tone, and then said: "These are his original words. None of it was made up by me, and you have already heard it clearly. Since he said that no matter who obstructs it, he has his back. Let's find the most beautiful woman to go back, no matter what family she was born in, everything is said to be the general's idea. Perhaps from then on, this woman would fall into the king's heart, and all this absurdity would come to an end. We have done great good deeds for the people of the Ryukyus!"

After a few glasses of wine, his heart is now hot. He was impatient to think about the details, and a thick palm slammed on the table, and the shaking wine cups and bowls clanged. He said proudly: "Okay, I'll follow you to see this matter!"
