"County Magistrate Shen, wait a minute!"
Huang Lie's confidant galloped and shouted Shen Tang.
Chen Tang raised his hand to signal the soldiers to let them go, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "You were sent by Alliance Leader Huang? What important matters do you want to tell me?"
The man dismounted from his horse and bowed respectfully.
"The leader asks County Magistrate Shen to go back and discuss slaying the dragon together."
Chen Tang sat high on the back of the motorcycle, holding a rolled-up whip, and smiled sarcastically: "Alliance Leader Huang, have you forgotten that I said not long ago that I would withdraw from the Dragon Slaying Bureau and lead the troops back to the capital. Even if you want to discuss the war, you shouldn't look for me, but those who are watching the fire from the other side of the river. Shen's meager belongings can make a sound if thrown into the water, but if we are backstabbed by our allies and lose troops... Ha, we are a small family and can't stand it."
The confidant secretly groaned.
He knew that Chen Tang was good at talking, but he didn't expect that the other party would not give him any face when he mocked him. However, Huang Lie had given a death order to invite Chen Tang back, so he had to bite the bullet and say nice things. Chen Tang listened to the whole thing and never responded.
The confidant's mouth became dry and his throat became hot as he spoke.
Chen Tang asked, "Has my brother Wu gone back?"
Seeing that Chen Tang didn't ask anyone but the whereabouts of Wu Xian, the confidant secretly noted this detail and went back to tell his lord Huang Lie: "The leader has sent someone to invite Lord Zhaode."
Chen Tang said: "So there is no result yet?"
The confidant was in a dilemma and wanted to lie to Shen Tang to go back, but reason stopped him: "There is no news yet, but the leader and Zhaode have a good relationship, and he will definitely be able to persuade him to change his mind."
Chen Tang snorted, “Then I’ll wait for news.”
He looked as if he couldn't wait to advance and retreat with Tianhai and Wu Xian.
The henchman felt that his head was even bigger.
Fortunately, Wu Xian is easier to persuade than Shen Tang.
This was originally just a show for outsiders. After Huang Lie's sincere request, Wu Xian was finally moved by his sincerity and was willing to go back. Gu Ren came to show support and returned with his troops for the sake of face, and finally Chen Tang.
Huang Lie's confidants were almost crying because of her bullying.
The effect of this farce was remarkable.
Chen Tang clearly felt that the atmosphere had changed.
If the previous coalition was "a few pragmatists and their burdens", then the current Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition is "a few pragmatists and more than twenty monkeys who are forced to be serious."
Gu Chi held it in for a long time: "Why is it a monkey?"
Chen Tang said: "Because it is to scare the monkeys."
Gu Chi: “…”
When the lord gets angry, he even scolds himself.
Chen Tang was in a good mood, and on his way back he even smiled and said hello to the soldiers who had re-set up camp. But halfway through, he passed by the temporary martial arts arena, and saw people gathering in the open space from a distance. With good hearing, he vaguely heard something like a military stick begging for mercy.
She pointed and asked, "What happened there?"
Before anyone could answer, she changed her route.
"Forget it, I'll go and take a look myself."
When he looked over, he saw Yang Ying kneeling on the ground, his hands hanging down at his sides and clenched into fists, wearing only a rough cloth shirt. Dark red blood oozed out from under the shirt, and perhaps because of the pain, or because of the excessive bleeding, his face was completely bloodless.
Yang Ying turned around and asked, "Why did you stop?"
The warrior standing on one side held a long black whip, which was hanging on the ground. The mottled bloodstains on Yang Ying's back were caused by this whip. The warrior looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a thick beard, but his face was not fierce, but rather kind. His hand holding the whip was shaking, and his voice was shaking: "My lady, why are you forcing me?"
Yang Ying became angry instead.
"I'll beat you if you ask me to. I asked for it myself!"
The whip-wielding warrior advised earnestly: "Then wait until the lady's injuries have healed... This is an injury on top of an injury. If you're not careful and damage your foundation, it will be a lifelong problem." In addition to him, several others were also trying to persuade Yang Ying to get up, but Yang Ying was reluctant.
Yang Ying's attitude made them so angry that they cried.
Some people even stamped their feet in grief, saying that Yang Ying wanted to force him to death.
Chen Tang had a question mark on his forehead.
He asked, "What's going on here?"
Why is Yang Ying kneeling here to be caned according to military law
Did she make some big mistake
The warrior holding the whip saw Chen Tang with his sharp eyes, and rushed forward in two steps. His burly physique like a small mountain made him half-kneel down in front of Chen Tang, shocking her so much that her chin tilted back, and she hurriedly said: "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, just talk it over..."
Several other people also came over to plead for mercy.
Shen Tang recognized these as familiar faces.
He had been following Chen Tang since Xiaocheng.
To be precise, because she saved Yang Gong, the private troops who followed Yang Gong also followed her. Although there were not many of them, they had a lot of experience and made great contributions to helping Chen Tang train soldiers and rectify and recruit bandits. Those who survived from then to now are at least centurions, and most of them are middle-level soldiers.
With them talking a lot, Shen Tang barely managed to piece together the story. To put it simply, on the night of the night attack, Yang Ying led a team on night patrol. As a result, due to her arrogance and recklessness, she misjudged the enemy's strength and then made a wrong move, resulting in the death of eleven or nineteen members of her team. As a team leader, Yang Ying had an unshirkable responsibility and asked for military punishment. Chu Yao agreed to let her receive fifty lashes. Yang Gong's old subordinates who heard the news were so angry that they tried to persuade Yang Ying until their lips were bubbling.
In the end, I had to take a step back and let them carry out the execution!
After four or five lashes, he couldn't continue.
They felt distressed when Yang Ying forced them to do it.
When Xiaocheng was in trouble, their relatives were missing. They didn't know whether they were massacred or escaped. No matter which one it was, the chances of them surviving in this world were too small. Even their head of the family, Yang Gong, was the only one left. They never thought that Yang Ying was still alive, and they had all seen Yang Ying grow up, so they had some feelings for him. Beating this precious child was as painful as beating their own flesh and blood. Several people were vying to be whipped for Yang Ying. Yang Ying's father, Yang Gong, was not here, so they had to protect him.
But Yang Ying had a stubborn temper and refused to give up even a single whipping.
This forced several uncles and aunts to kneel down in front of her.
Chen Tang figured out the whole story, his eyes changed slightly, he admired Yang Ying even more, and said: "Why are you begging? Do you think she is a child who knows nothing about the world? Since it is her fault, she should bear it! A dignified warrior, a tiger girl from a military family, who inherited her father's ambition, how can she not bear these dozens of whips? Beat her! Not a single whip less!"
Yang Ying said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord."
Chen Tang said sternly, "This time, remember the lesson. This time it's just 19 people, but if you become a centurion in the army in the future, leading a hundred people, or even promoted to captain, commanding a battalion of thousands of people... then you can't just apologize with 50 lashes!"
Yang Ying lowered his head and said, "Please keep this in mind."
Several of Yang Gong's former subordinates looked miserable.
But I felt a little relieved in my heart.
In the end, he endured the pain and lashed the remaining forty-five times.
After the last whip, Yang Ying's back was covered in blood, and he staggered forward. Chen Tang reached out and grabbed his shoulders, and with a little effort, he lifted him up: "Call the military doctor!"
When executing military law, the person being punished is not allowed to use martial arts to resist. Chen Tang asked Yang Ying to lie on the bed, take off his coarse cloth shirt, and expose his torn back. Taking into account the needs of the female camp, Doctor Dong specially selected several qualified female soldiers from the female camp to train them in medical skills. When the military doctor came over, he secretly gasped when he saw the wound.
In addition to the whip wounds on his back, Yang Ying also had other injuries.
The whip wounds were bleeding and other wounds were bursting.
"Are you going to die?"
Yang Ying lay on the couch and said, "I am still alive."
But those nineteen people died without a complete body.
The bones were picked up and sewn up with some difficulty.
When she thought of the 19 bodies lined up side by side, she hated herself at that time. She was able to save her life, so what was there to complain about? The military doctor rolled his eyes in anger. No matter which era the doctor was from, he hated uncooperative patients the most.
Fortunately, Yang Ying is a brave warrior.
He has a strong physique and abundant martial energy.
As long as he is not dead now, he will be completely healed in ten days or half a month. If it is not for the scar hyperplasia physique, there will be no scar left. If it is an ordinary person, with such a serious injury, even if the wound is not infected by any filth, there is a certain probability that he will not survive. The military doctor skillfully treated Yang Ying's wound and re-bandaged it, and then ordered Yang Gong's old subordinates to get medicine and boil it.
Shen Tang left only after he was sure that Yang Yingren was not dead.
Several uncles came to see her.
Her eyes were red, obviously from crying a little.
One person felt distressed and relieved, and whispered to Yang Ying: "Compared with the master, the lady is even better than him. If the master knew, he would be very proud."
Yang Ying couldn't get up at the moment and could only lie down and watch people.
He was surprised and asked, "You know?"
"I know, the queen will not tarnish the reputation of the head of the family!"
"It's much better than the bad temper of the master of the family!"
Several people agreed with this statement.
Although Yang Gong is very good-tempered now, he was not like this before. Before the incident in Xiaocheng, Yang Gong was strict in managing the army to the point of being inhumane. He was arrogant and stubborn, and sometimes even a little conceited! He was also fierce in his actions. Even the old people who followed him would be severely punished if they made mistakes.
The people below had many complaints about this, but they dared not speak out.
But as the daughter of Yang Gong, Yang Ying inherited his essence and discarded his dregs, which made these old people very happy.
"Alas, what a pity..."
"If you guys were still here..."
"We old bones can definitely fight with you to make Yang family famous. Now, we are wronged by you."
As they talked, several of them wiped away their tears sadly.
The private troops of a brave warrior are all built from a young age, and it is too late for Yang Ying to do so at his age. Now he can only build up more military merits, climb up the ladder, gain a firm foothold in the future, and then build his own elite team. There is still a long way to go.
Yang Ying: “…”
Only then did she realize that they were talking at cross purposes.
It's not the same thing at all.
She whispered, "That's not it."
Several people also learned to lower their voices.
"Madam, what is that?"
Yang Ying said: "The intention of a warrior."
Just four words turned several people into sculptures.
One of them even scratched his ears, and asked her to confirm with surprise, joy and fear: "Wait wait wait, what did you just say, that warrior, warrior?"
Yang Ying nodded with great effort: "Yes."
The intention of a warrior is the opposite of the way of a scholar.
The latter's awakening is untraceable and depends entirely on luck.
As long as you are lucky and have strong determination, you can easily obtain the Way of the Scholar. There are many kinds of items, and it is difficult to distinguish the strong from the weak. The effect may be useless, or it may be extremely powerful.
The meaning of a warrior belongs to the talent of martial courage. There is only one way to awaken - to realize one's own martial arts between life and death!
Probability
One percent!
That is to say, when one's life is absolutely threatened, one's mind will be clear and one will suddenly realize the way of martial arts, and there is a 10% chance of gaining talent!
There are very few brave warriors who have the spirit of a warrior.
Because this thing requires risking your life!
How many lives can one person have
Currently, only Xun Ding and Chu Jie are under Chen Tang's command. Strictly speaking, Chu Jie is not her general yet. The nature of the relationship is more like a cooperative employment relationship. Chen Tang can call him when she needs him, but whether he comes or not depends on Chu Jie's personal willingness, just like this dragon-slaying game.
She returned the border garrison but invited Chu Jie.
To give high-level generals some face.
Although Chu Jie agreed, he did not come with the army because Yonggu Pass needed to be settled and he would arrive late.
And Yang Ying—
On the surface, he is the third person.
"Madam, when did it happen?"
They were so excited that they pinched their thighs and cried out in pain.
Yang Ying said: "That night attack..."
In fact, the first time she was forced into a desperate situation by Gong Xichou, she had a vague feeling of seeing flowers in the fog. After Gong Xichou knew about it, he was even more ruthless to her, and every time he was on the line between life and death. Yang Ying knew that he wanted to help her awaken the rare talent of a warrior, but there was always a line missing. In the end, Gong Xichou gave up impatiently and let her let nature take its course.
Yang Ying was depressed, but he could only accept the reality.
She guessed that it was impossible before, most likely because although she was in a life-and-death crisis, she believed in her heart that Gong Xichou would not kill her. With the subconscious mind that she would never die, how could she risk her life and death and really knock on the door of the warrior's palace
I never thought that everything would go smoothly that night.
Yang Ying picked up the remains of nineteen people and stared at her hands in a trance for a long time. She suddenly understood why her father occasionally showed unspeakable sadness. Once a brave warrior starts on the path of killing, he can never stop until he dies.
"My lady, this is a blessing in disguise!"
"That's right, the patriarch will be so happy if he finds out!"
After they finished talking, the old friend patted them on the head, indicating that they should be happy and pay attention to the occasion. Does the lady look happy? After talking for a while, they found an excuse to let Yang Ying rest alone. After leaving the tent, they looked at each other and laughed.
"dinner?"
“Hahaha, please please please!”
On the main account side, Chen Tang also talked about Yang Ying.
"Mr. Yang's daughter is much more violent than him."
The temper is also to Shen Tang's liking.
She came back and carefully investigated what happened that night. She also learned some details from Yu Zi. Yang Ying did make a mistake in his decision, but it was not entirely wrong. Under the circumstances at the time, if Yu Zi let the enemy go first and then shot the sentinel arrow, the team would still be in danger of their lives, and the camp might also be caught off guard. This situation would not be worse, but it would not be better either.
No matter what, she identified the enemy and acted decisively, and this judgment and decisiveness deserves recognition. As for her personality... Let's think about it. Chen Tang stroked his chin: "Lu Ji was born in a general family, Zhao Wei was born in a general family, Yang Ying was born in a general family..."
Should she change her mindset
