When Zhu Ping'an heard the words of Huang Maoguan, the Supervisory Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, "People died in all the guards, but your guard is the only one where no one died?", he was shocked!
Damn, you are stupid! Damn, you are a bastard! How did this guy become a third-rank official? ! Aren’t you courting death? !
Zhu Ping'an was extremely disgusted with Minister Huang.
It is definitely wrong for the soldiers to mutiniate. Let’s not talk about being bewitched and used. The important and direct reason for the soldiers to mutiniate is that the monthly rations for their wives were first reduced and then cancelled, and the payment of soldiers’ salaries was delayed. The soldiers suffered from the flood last month and their families must have huge expenses. They were just waiting for money and food to help them. Unexpectedly, Minister Huang not only had no intention of distributing the money, but also said such an extremely irresponsible, official PUA, and asshole sentence: "People in other guards died, but only your guard didn’t die?" Isn’t this courting death? ! The soldiers, who were already angry, would be surprised if they could endure it!
"Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire, Minister Huang?!" Marquis Linhuai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"No one died in my Zhenwu Camp during the flood. Is that wrong?! How could Minister Huang say such nonsense?!" Duke Wei, the commander of the Zhenwu Camp, couldn't help but frown when he heard Minister Huang's words. "Under the circumstances at the time, how could Minister Huang dare to say such a thing? Isn't this just provoking the soldiers?!"
"Alas, that's exactly what happened. As soon as Huang Shilang finished speaking, the angry soldiers drew their swords and slashed at him with countless swords. Huang Shilang was so miserable. He was chopped into a bloody mess... If I didn't have some martial arts skills and was quick-eyed and quick-footed, I would have taken the opportunity to escape when the soldiers were chopping at Huang Shilang. If my close followers hadn't risked their lives to stop the soldiers, I would have been a dead soul at the hands of the soldiers along with Huang Shilang."
Eunuch He slapped his thigh and said with a trembling voice. When he talked about the scene at that time, he still couldn't help but feel palpitations.
It seems that the mutinous soldiers have not yet advanced to the general's tent because Eunuch He's personal guards helped to block them. However, judging from the noise, the mutinous soldiers are not far from the general's tent. They will reach the general's tent in a few minutes, while the personal guards of Duke Wei have not arrived yet.
Dangerous, but no need to despair.
Zhu Ping'an stood there with a normal expression on his face. After listening to Eunuch He's story, Zhu Ping'an had a clear idea in his mind.
"Old Xu, what's going on with your personal soldiers? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Linhuai Hou listened to the increasing noise made by the mutinous soldiers outside, realized that the rebel soldiers were getting closer, and could not help but ask anxiously.
"Yes, Duke Wei, where are your personal soldiers? If they don't come to protect the general's tent, we will follow in the footsteps of Minister Huang! These big-headed soldiers are really brave enough to kill people!"
Eunuch He was so anxious that he could not sit still. Thinking of the scene of Minister Huang being chopped into meat paste, he could not help but tremble like a cicada.
"I don't know either. It should be here soon. Just wait a little longer. My personal soldiers are all family-born sons in the mansion. They are loyal to me. If I summon them, they will come even if they have to go through fire and water!" The Duke of Wei became extremely anxious when he heard the noise outside getting closer and closer. It was more like he was comforting himself than comforting the Marquis of Linhuai and Eunuch He.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then a chaotic sound of footsteps approaching the general's tent.
It happened so quickly that Eunuch He, who was sitting on the chair with trembling legs, jumped up from the chair and hid in the innermost corner of the general's tent with swift steps. His movements were as smooth as flowing water and completed in one go.
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips, and immediately understood why Huang Shilang was chopped into pieces, while Eunuch He was able to escape unscathed. This set of smooth escape skills, Eunuch He has mastered it to perfection.
Not only Eunuch He, but also Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai were frightened when they heard the noise outside. They thought it was a group of rioters. Just when they were about to follow Eunuch He's example and find a place to hide, they heard a voice from outside, "General, we are too late to rescue you... Please punish us..."
"The personal guards are here!" The Duke of Wei was instantly overjoyed, his panic swept away, and his hunched back instantly straightened up.
"Your personal soldiers are finally here." Linhuai Hou let out a long sigh and straightened his back.
"Ahem, there really is a poisonous centipede in the corner. But don't worry, I've stepped on it to death."
Eunuch He coughed, and said to Zhu Ping'an and others half-explanatory and half-concealing, while he pretended to rub the corner with his feet, as if I was not hiding just now, but helping everyone to get rid of the poisonous centipede.
"Haha, thank you for your help, Eunuch He. My tent is often infested with centipedes, spiders and other poisonous insects."
Duke Wei said with a smile.
"That's right. This place is at the foot of the mountain. It's dark and damp, and it's easy for poisonous insects to breed. Last time I came here, I was bitten by a centipede. Maybe it was the one that was stepped on to death by Eunuch He. Thank you, Eunuch He, for helping me get revenge."
Marquis Linhuai also followed suit and arranged the steps clearly for Eunuch He.
"Haha, you're welcome. I just have a sharp eye." Eunuch He looked at Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai with satisfaction.
For a moment, the panic atmosphere in the military tent was mostly eliminated.
"Uncle, Eunuch He, the rebels are coming. While there is still time, arrange for your personal soldiers to defend and protect the general's tent first."
Zhu Ping'an reminded the three people.
"Haha, Zihou, don't worry. My personal soldiers are here. There is no need to worry about a few disorderly soldiers." Duke Wei laughed and said confidently, "My personal soldiers are the best of the best, well-equipped and well-trained. They will guard the general's tent and protect everyone. There will be no problem. I have always been prestigious in Zhenwu Camp. No one dares to disobey my orders. With my personal soldiers guarding the general's tent and stabilizing the situation, I only need to show up in front of the disorderly soldiers and give an order, and these disorderly soldiers will naturally disperse honestly."
At this moment, Duke Wei stood very straight, his voice was very strong, and the confidence on his face was beyond words.
Zhu Pingan looked at Duke Wei, and a sentence popped up in his mind: The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, and you think you can do it again? !
"Old Xu, it's okay to be cautious. Let's deploy our defenses first." Linhuai Hou reminded.
"Okay, okay, let's go." Duke Wei nodded with a smile, and walked out of the tent with Zhu Pingan and others.
When they walked out of the tent, Duke Wei and others were stunned.
There were indeed personal soldiers outside the general's tent, but there were only about a hundred of them at most, and they were all unarmed.
"Old Xu, are these the only soldiers you have?!" Marquis Linhuai looked at Duke Wei woodenly and muttered.
"Duke Wei, didn't you say your personal soldiers were well-equipped? Why are they all unarmed?!"
Eunuch He looked at Duke Wei with a twitching mouth.
