Chapter 157: The People Are Wronged
The snow was falling, the cold wind was howling, several figures were gathered in a tent, and a middle-aged man came in from outside, and hurriedly walked to the stove to keep warm. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Heat emanated from the hot carbon basin, and the icy cold air kept coming out of him, and then being dispelled by the heat.
"How is it, Zhao Lao Er?" a man with a thief's head leaned over, put his hands on the carbon basin, and shivered.
Zhao Lao Er carefully looked around, and then reached the ear of the thin man, and whispered: "Don't worry, they can't stand it anymore, it is estimated that they will starve to death if this continues, I just said a few words, and they readily agreed!"
The lean man nodded, finally let go of his breath, stepped aside, and muttered twice into the ear of another soldier who was sitting on the ground with a dead breath, probably talking about the situation.
The soldier moved his body with difficulty, his strength was weak, and the gleam in his eyes when he first entered the army had long been replaced by a heavy dead air, listless.
As the thin man's lips touched up and down, a look of worry appeared on the soldier's face, looking very difficult, and he raised his head and looked at the lean man, with a look of struggle in his eyes.
"Are we really at this point? Is there no other way?"
The lean man shook his head helplessly, squinting at the soldier who was still hesitating, and his eyes gradually showed a sharp edge.
"But I joined the army in order to one day make war exploits and glorify my ancestors, but once I rebel with you, then my wife, children, and children will be implicated!" He frowned deeply, his face full of sorrow, showing a deep worry.
He shook his head slowly, then raised his head, "I'm still not with you anymore, for the sake of the past, I won't report you." ”
What caught his eye was a steel knife stabbing him in the chest.
Dodge, it's too late, it's close at hand.
The lean man was fierce, his face was hideous, his anger was surging, his eyes were blood-red, his teeth were grinning, and his hoarse voice was suppressed by him, like a devouring beast, "Since you have chosen, then don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood, if you don't die, we will die!"
The lean man had no choice, and likewise, neither did the soldier.
The pungent blood stirred in the tent, but it was washed out, mixed with the lingering blood, and there was not the slightest trace of it.
Taking advantage of the night, the five figures quietly slipped out of the camp tent and groped towards the Sword Rain City.
When he entered a small shop, he first used his money to buy some food, fill his stomach, and then found a house in the farmer's house, and threw a copper to the farmer, who was forced to compromise under the threat of the sword in his hand.
After the night, I filled my stomach, and then slipped back to the barracks in the night.
The night drooped, the sky was shrouded in a layer of curtains, the starlight was projected, and one after another figures shuttled back and forth in the camp.
After a few days of going back and forth like this, the resentment in Sword Rain City was boiling, and countless people ran to the gate of the Litian Sword Sect to ask for help, and some people came to the barracks to complain.
Zhao Haochen had already instructed, and sent someone to set up a big tent early to welcome the suffering people who came to complain, and next to the big tent, he specially brought over a big knife to chop horses and stuck it on the ground.
When the people who complained about it saw this battle, they were all silent, and they didn't dare to come to complain, after Zhao Haochen heard about it, he made fun of Liu Cheng.
"Tell me about you, how stupid you have to be, you put a big knife next to the big tent, who dares to come?" Zhao Haochen reprimanded.
"Isn't it for the convenience of killing people?!" Liu Cheng muttered.
Zhao Haochen raised his eyebrows, "What do you dare to refute, you personally go to greet the people who complain, the service attitude must be good, but all the sergeants involved, as long as it is verified, all will be killed on the spot!"
Liu Cheng drooped his head and went to the door of the camp tent to greet the people who were complaining.
waited for two days, but no one dared to come, Zhao Haochen issued the highest order again, then you will go to inquire door to door.
So, poor Liu Cheng went into the city with two teams of men and horses, and first went to a relatively nearby village.
I thought that this guild would be very simple, and he went to avenge the people's grievances, but they were not very grateful? Thinking of this, his depressed mood dissipated, and his heart was full of joy.
Katsumon Village.
From a distance, I saw a huge stone monument standing at the entrance of the village, three big characters were magnificent, and an old woman stood at the entrance of the village, as if she was waiting for someone.
Liu Cheng was about to say hello, but the woman, as if she had seen something terrible, hurriedly walked towards the village with her cane, and stood still at a large clock.
噹~~噹~~
The bell rang for a long time, and after the bell rang, the village was obviously moving, and a large number of people flocked to the entrance of the village.
Seeing the crowd come out, Liu Cheng's face was full of joy, and he couldn't help but turn his head triumphantly, and showed off to the soldiers who followed him: "See, General Ben came out, and the people came out to greet him, you have to learn more in the future, do more good deeds, and you will also have the blessing of General Ben!"
In a tone of lesson, he admonished the younger brothers.
"Will ...... The general ......" a soldier behind him shouted with some suspicion, pointing ahead.
Liu Cheng didn't look back, looked at him, and asked happily, "What's the matter?" But before the soldier could speak, Liu Cheng continued: "Do you feel that the people are too enthusiastic? I can tell you, I think when I followed the commander, it was a frequent chivalrous battle, saving the suffering and helping the needy, and people who didn't know regarded us as living bodhisattvas, which won the love of the common people so much.
What are we soldiers for, isn't it nothing more than to protect the family and the country, to increase the rank of official to the knighthood, and to make a wife and son? And what are their sons doing, isn't it also to protect the family and the country, it is possible that the best brother around you is one of these people, so in the future, everyone must be like me, in order to win the love of the common people. ”
After an education class, Liu Cheng turned around proudly, ready to dismount, and thanked the people who greeted him.
When I turned around, there were indeed many people in front of me, all holding hoes, sickles, sticks, etc., staring at them with fierce eyes.
Liu Cheng was stunned, could it be that the welcome ceremony of Shengmen Village was a little special?
