Lei Jingzhe squatted beside the pigsty with a bowl in his hand. He was hungry for a day, so he shoved all the hard-won noodles into his mouth and swallowed it hard. There was a subordinate squatting beside him, a little ghost about the same age as Ding Tao, but he was as strong as a calf, and he was as fierce as Lei Jingzhe when he ate.
A man's head stuck out from the open window of the kitchen, he tapped the edge of the pot with a frying spoon, and shouted, "There is still some soup left, do you want to eat it? Just pick it up!"
"Eat, eat, eat!" Li Xiong hadn't swallowed the Baogu noodles in his mouth, so he hurriedly got up and ran to the window, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, and extending the bowl to the side of the pot, his eyes never leaving the clear soup .
"You can eat so much," the cook scratched the bottom of the pot, "let your brother find a job to do it, and he won't be so hungry!"
"My brother is going to do something big!" Li Xiong saw that the soup was about to leak from the edge, so he wiped it with his fingers and put it in his mouth to suck it clean.
The cook is also a strong man, he pulled on his apron and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing that he was stubborn, he wiped him off, and said with disgust, "His face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and there is no one in the house to take care of him. Hey, what are you busy with all day? You are also taking care of your children!"
Lei Jingzhe showed a simple and honest smile to the cook, chewing pickles in his mouth. Li Xiong trotted over, poured the soup into the bowl of Lei Jingzhe as if offering a treasure, and said diligently, "Brother, eat it!"
"Good boy!" Lei Jingzhe was not polite, he raised his head and drank it in one breath. After drinking, he looked at the sun above his head and was sweating. He squeezed his stinging eyes, moved his feet, and scolded in a low voice, "Fuck his mother!"
"Fuck his mother." Li Xiong followed suit and got up to block the sunlight for Lei Jingzhe.
Lei Jingzhe put his arms on his knees and asked, "What's it like outside?"
Li Xiong stretched his neck to look around, and whispered, "It's still investigating!"
Lei Jingzhe looked irritable, he lowered his head, a scorpion tattoo appeared on the back of his neck, and he was sweating. After he escaped from Cizhou, he dispersed. He only brought a silly boy raised by himself into the town along the official road. He sat and watched the forbidden army being walked a few times, and then waited for Xiao Chiye to be impatient and dispersed. Soldiers chase after themselves. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chiye was not at all impetuous, but set the fire along the road, causing people everywhere to panic.
"Brother, the reward from the Imperial Army is so small," Li Xiong wondered, "it's not enough for the brothers to drink, how come so many people go there!"
"It's because there are few," Lei Jingzhe said, with bipolar bright eyes under his sweaty brows, "this guy's price is just right."
If Xiao Chiye directs the reward to the price of a few taels of silver, the common people may not be willing to take his eyes for him. Zhongbo has suffered many disasters in recent years, the bandits are domineering, the higher the price, the harder it is to do it, and it is a matter of losing your life if you don’t keep it well, but a few copper coins are worth it. As long as you find the traces of the bandits and notify the Imperial Army, no one will know about it. A few handfuls of copper coins, it's normal to turn around and spend it, even if this group of bandits turned back to seek revenge, they couldn't find anyone.
"Then what are we going to do?" Li Xiong was covered in sweat from the sun. He looked at Lei Jingzhe, "Brother, why don't you just do it! He's only 20,000 people."
Lei Jingzhe was also restless. He couldn't be clearer about Xiao Chiye's intentions. Xiao Chiye just wanted to force them to be restless and could no longer hide. But he was sober. He knew that the people he brought with him were all fought against the rabble in the two eastern states. They had never received the same training as the regular army. Bleeding. However, hiding is not the way to go. If Lei Jingzhe can hide it, can those subordinates who are used to shouting and drinking can hold it
Lei Jingzhe was sweating, staring at the dirt under his feet, and said, "This person is a bit yin, and he won't play with me along the lines of benevolence, righteousness and morality. I don't think he's going to the north at all, he just wants to push us over. He knew that the north was Libei, and he bet that we didn't dare to go."
But fuck it!
Lei Jingzhe spat in frustration,
He really dare not go!
"Wait another night," Lei Jingzhe stood up suddenly, and said, "Go, tell Liu Er, and ask him to inform the brothers who are still in town tonight. If the situation is not right, we will leave. The big deal is to withdraw to Luoshan first. I have energy. Consume with Xiao Chi!"
* * *
Xiao Chiye was eating, and he went down a few steamed buns with pickles. People were sitting on wooden stakes tied to horses, watching soldiers hand out notes for copper coins to the people who came to report the news.
"Master," Tantai Hu came over and said, "He's also really good at scattering people everywhere. How can this be ordered? You can't knock on the door one by one."
"He's the leader of the bandit, and naturally he has his own way." Xiao Chiye said, scratching Meng on his shoulder, "Libeiyang Haidongqing can also quickly spread the military situation."
"A lot of people have been caught," Tantai Hu said, "what should we do?"
Xiao Chiye said, "Kill it."
Tantaihu turned around and looked at the other side, then looked at Xiao Chiye, and whispered, "But I heard that some of the sons of good families were killed?"
Xiao Chiye looked at Tantaihu and said, "Since they went to Luoshan and joined Lei Jingzhe's command, they should have thought of such a day. I am here to suppress the bandits, and there is no reason to be merciful to the enemy. Besides, I I ask you, everyone has a mouth, and everyone says that they are from a good family, which one do you believe and which one don't?"
Tantai Hu was silent.
Xiao Chiye stood up, looked at Meng Fei Li, and said, "I know you think of the Biansha cavalry, but Tiger, don't use the wrong place for benevolence and righteousness. You have been in the army for a long time, and I didn't need to say these words specially. , can't you figure it out by yourself?"
Tantai Huzhu kneeled first.
"Stand," Xiao Chiye patted him on the shoulder, "You are now a general leading troops, not a small flag standing at the gate of Dengzhou to guard the city gate. Don't put yourself in the wrong place."
Xiao Chiye is generous, but he is also quite harsh. The guards around him know how to advance and retreat. The last time Chen Yang sat idly by, he could make Chen Yang feel more uncomfortable than being whipped. However, guards and generals are two different things. Why didn't Xiao Chiye let Chen Yang lead the troops? Obviously, Zhaohui next to Xiao Jiming is a fierce general, and he obviously has other thoughts.
Xiao Chiye was neither angry nor discolored, but Tantai Hu had already shown shame. None of them could understand Xiao Chiye's true emotions, but in such a relaxed tone, he had already begun to introspect.
