Back Off, Let Me Come

Gu De's words were frank.

Even for a man as mature as the captain, there was no trace of hypocrisy in his words. But his past experience told him that even if the owner of the Wen Xin scholar's mouth died, he could only half-believe it, but not fully believe it! The captain did not comment on Gu De's words, but received a few replies in his arms: "If your dean had your cunning, he wouldn't have died there..."

That dean is just too upright.

In his opinion, nothing in this world is more important than his own life, let alone an academy. It is really foolish to live and die with the academy's self-immolation. It's just that this person has passed away, and the deceased is the most important. The captain does not want to continue to criticize this wooden-like Wangnian friend: "Out of love for your dean, I will spare your life, don't play any tricks."

Gu De cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Lieutenant."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. If I find out what's wrong with you, I'll have to send you to see your dean sooner or later."

The captain ordered his own people to verify the authenticity of Gu De's words.

"...The more than two hundred people he led are really ordinary people?"

"They are indeed ordinary people, but more than half of them have some boxing and kicking skills. They are martial arts practitioners." According to the reports from subordinates, these two hundred people are not as good as the lowest-ranking officers, but they are also warriors who have been on the battlefield and seen blood. There was a cold murderous look in his eyes.

This is very common sense.

As far as the captain knows, this Gu De can be regarded as one of the second-in-commands in the warlord camp. It is normal to have hundreds of elites at his disposal. When it comes to ordinary bandits, more than two hundred people are enough, but they are not enough to cause a bloody storm on his side.

"What about those frozen fish? Have they been poisoned?"

"Nothing, it's all good."

The sight of buckets of frozen fish made subordinates salivate.

There was a shortage of military rations in the camp, and the governor of Shanyong County was also stingy. He urged and asked four times before he was willing to squeeze out a little food. How could they hold on to the fortress if they were not given enough food to eat while marching and fighting? The subordinates had already complained in their hearts, but the captain had a soft and gentle temperament, and a majestic warrior almost had someone riding on his neck to dominate him! It’s really infuriating!

The captain muttered: "This is strange."

He also asked his subordinates to investigate whether there was anyone suspicious nearby.

"...Especially the county guard, there are some new faces around him." The captain has rich experience and knows that these literary scholars may seem to have countless tricks in fighting, but in fact they are always true to their roots. They fight with force in front of them, but they play conspiracy behind the scenes.

"The last general takes command!"

"Why aren't you leaving?" Seeing his subordinate standing there like a piece of wood, the captain became impatient, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The grinding and whining is really unpleasant to watch.

The subordinate hesitated: "...can those fish..."

Even he hasn't had fresh fish soup for a long time.

"... Just eat as long as the army rations are still available. Why didn't I know you were still so greedy? At your age, you dare to eat anything given by anyone?" At thirty-one, how can you still trust others and eat them? Food delivered? Really not afraid of death!

The subordinates were reprimanded by him and wring their fingers a little aggrievedly.

The captain's eyes felt irritated when he saw it, and he waved his hands angrily: "Go, go, if you eat it to death, don't blame me for not advising you!"

The subordinates got permission and happily went to pick fish.

Due to frequent wars, the river fish in this season not only lost no meat, but also grew plump, with firm and elastic meat. After the fishy meat was removed and cooked, it had a smooth texture without any earthy smell. Just add some ingredients and a pot of fish soup will make people hungry.

He ate half of the pot, and not a drop of fish soup was left. After making sure that he was not upset, he gave the other half to the captain.

"This fish is not poisonous."

The captain frowned when he saw the river fish: "You are really hungry."

This kind of river fish has one of the best vitality and reproductive capabilities. It can grow meat on anything it eats. It can survive in moist water no matter how turbid it is. It is not picky about food. It can grow to more than four kilograms in adulthood. The meat has more thorns and fewer thorns, but it tastes better. Just looking at the above advantages, it seems to be the favorite river fish of fishermen. The problem is that this fish is so picky that it can survive even if livestock manure is fed into the water...

When they are extremely hungry, they will also sneak attack on living people entering the water.

Some people relied on them to survive the lean years.

This fish weighs over six pounds. Considering the battle route of Lord Gu De and the active areas of river fish, it is not difficult to imagine what they rely on to grow so fat. It's okay not to think about it, but it makes me sick to think about it.

The subordinate chuckled and said, "How can you choose so many?"

The captain pushed the pot of fish soup away: "I have no appetite."

The subordinate was reluctant to waste it, so the rest went into his stomach.

Being greedy, this subordinate was very reliable in his work. It didn't take long for him to find out about the current situation of the Sheriff of Shanyong County. There were no strange faces around the other party, no one in the house came into contact with strangers, and there were not a large number of strangers entering the county... However, the enemy's scouts were moving a bit frequently, as if they were looking for people.

The captain raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Looking for someone?"

The scouts are looking for people, but the troops are shrinking the defense line.

The two behaviors are obviously a little weird.

The captain couldn't help but have an idea - a temporary betrayal in front of the battle, ten or nine deceptions, has he encountered the only true one?

The fact that Gu De sent a large amount of frozen fish was not hidden from the county magistrate, and the news had already reached his ears. I thought the captain would take the initiative to inform me, so I waited and waited but no one came. The suppressed anger and dissatisfaction exploded: "What do you mean, old thing?"

In the midst of food shortages, he openly accepted a batch of food, which was sent by the enemy! Such a big thing, he didn't even discuss it with me? At least he should have let me know! How dare he ask for military pay three times a day?

The captain refused to send someone, so he sent someone over.

He didn't do anything else, just asked for frozen fish.

The captain sneered, but his deputy couldn't stand it.

"...Why doesn't the county magistrate go and see what the soldiers eat every day? The military pay is delayed for three or four days, how can they fight without enough food?" After finally getting some meat, this man actually came to ask for it? After he asked for it, the soldiers continued to live by his face? Go and ask for three or four days of military pay at a time?

Regarding the issue of military pay, the conflict between the two sides can be traced back to the previous governor of Suginaga. In order to restrict the generals from using their own troops to cause local sabotage, the royal court thought of many ways to restrict it, one of which was that the military pay was paid from the local granary, and the granary was controlled by the county magistrate. The last governor of Suginaga was only willing to give half a month at a time, and he always shortchanged the governor, and liked to use this as a handle to control people.

Over time, how could the resentment between the two sides not be deep?

The captain was soft and gentle, and he almost never had conflicts with the governor, but the people around him were different, and they had long wanted him to die. The deputy general found an opportunity last time and deliberately moved the defense near the governor to let the stray arrow take the villain's life smoothly.

The subsequent investigation was just an accident.

The stray arrow had no eyes, and he was not standing in the right place.

Before his death, the old governor handed over the responsibility to his son, who is now the one, and he only needed to wait for the king's order to come down to confirm it. When the deputy general heard the news, his eyes were about to roll up to the top of his head - on the one hand, he was guarding against the military man becoming bigger and more powerful in the local area, and on the other hand, he let the governor do the father's death and son's succession. Isn't the king's defense just for nothing?

The new governor suspected that his biological father's death was not an accident, and communicated with the captain several times, hoping that he would hand over the person who neglected his duty at that time!

The captain naturally did not agree.

The new county governor used the shortage of grain depot as an excuse to only allocate seven days each time, and now he was even more excessive to only give four days, which was just short of provocation. Faced with this situation, the captain still did not lose his temper.

His temper was so cowardly that even his own people could not stand it.

Facing the reprimand of the deputy general, the county governor seemed to have caught his handle and pressed him aggressively: "Is this your intention or the captain's? Are you accusing me of deliberately withholding your military pay? Then why don't you go and see the extent of the food shortage in the city? If it weren't for my control, this little food could have lasted until today?"

He had the confidence to say this.

In the previous years when the years were good, corruption was rampant in the army, and falsifying accounts and eating empty salaries was even more serious. There were clearly 5,000 people under the account, but they dared to report 30,000 or 40,000 elite troops. The allocated military pay was secretly swallowed up, the combat effectiveness could not be improved, and the national treasury was emptied.

Suginaga County hasn't had a similar scandal for so many years, but we have to take precautions. In addition, the captain is easy to bully, and the previous county governor is also easy to enrich himself, so he just bullies honest people. The new county governor knows all this, but in order to suppress the captain and avenge his father's murder, he can only choose to make it worse.

In his opinion, his behavior is frank and nothing wrong.

The deputy general blushed.

"You——"

The county governor bullies honest people: "These are all stolen money of unknown origin. What is the intention of the captain for not taking the open road? Or do you have second thoughts? If you don't have second thoughts, why are you hiding it?"

If you really want to be frank, hand it over.

He is not unaware that the other party may jump off the wall, but he knows that food is the reins tied around the other party's neck. Once they have enough food in their hands and the reins are loose, it will be difficult to be bound. The most important thing is that the captain is so honest and cowardly that he is hated by both humans and gods. No matter how you pinch him, he doesn't react.

My father has worked with him for eighteen years.

The deputy general was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

Isn't this a far-fetched argument? If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.

The captain sighed: "I am upright and I am not afraid of my shadow. If the county governor doesn't believe it, you can take it away. But the food and grass in the camp are running out, and there are strong enemies outside, so please take the overall situation into consideration. Don't let the soldiers feel cold and miss the overall situation!"

The deputy general stamped his feet in anger, angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

The county governor was surprised, and the worries in his heart disappeared.

Look, he said that this person is made of mud and has no temper.

If this matter was put on a military general with a little temper, the county governor would definitely come in upright and leave horizontally today, and he would not be able to end it without being beaten half to death. The county governor bowed deeply to the captain and said in a yin-yang tone: "The captain is still very righteous."

The deputy general was so angry that his blood pressure soared.

However, it was difficult to disobey the military order, so he could only do it.

"You - hey -"

It was also hard to have such a temperless boss. If the captain had not rescued him from the dead and raised him as a half-son, and the two had a father-son relationship, he would have wanted to overturn the table on the spot.

The captain shook his head secretly.

These frozen fish were sent by Gu De. Before Gu De's identity and position were completely clear, how could his things stay in his own territory? Sending them out, whether it was to divert the trouble or other things, would always reduce their own risks, and the young man couldn't hold his temper.

Gu De, who received this news: "???"

Is the progress of things too smooth?

Their original plan was just to provoke conflicts between the two sides, even if they didn't tear each other apart, and take advantage of the slack defense to unexpectedly cooperate with each other. Who knew that the conflict between the two people was deeper than the outside world spread, which was a bargain for their own family.

"In this way, we may act in advance."

Most of the frozen fish are real frozen fish. The Lord sent people to fish for a long time, and secretly searched among the people to get such a batch. The remaining part were disguised by his own people.

This pretense doesn't last long.

"It's quite suspicious."

At the same time, there was also a little doubt.

"You also suspect that I am too cowardly?" The captain asked the county guard to take away all the frozen fish. This incident caused a lot of troubles in the camp. The old people who had been with him for more than ten years came one after another to fight against the injustice. They all thought it was a joke.

How can you endure such a shame and humiliation?

Gu De sighed and said: "This junior sincerely wants to solve the captain's urgent need, but your move is really chilling."

His paranoia was so severe that people suspected that he was a scribe.

The captain did not accept Gu De's tactics at all: "You young man, don't put eye drops on me, this trick is useless. Didn't your dean tell you that civil and military discord is a taboo? No matter how big the conflict is, at least We have to wait until after the war to sort things out. The Sheriff and his son do have many conflicts with me and have selfish motives, but compared to others, the father and son are rare good people. "

He has seen too many evil spirits in human skin.

Compared with these, the Sheriff and his son do look like human beings. Under their rule, the people were simply underfed, not starved to death and neglected.

This was one of the main reasons why he was willing to tolerate it for many years.

Gu De: "..."

He couldn't help but remind the other party: "You used to be the same... so willing to compromise, which is really... puzzling."

The captain said: "I am also very confused."

It’s hard to understand where these young people come from with so much arrogance.

Gu De: "..."

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

The county guard sent people to take all the frozen fish away and put them into storage near the grain depot. As the door closed, the frozen fish in the barrel suddenly moved. If you look carefully, you will find that some fish are very strange. The fish eyes under the ice will move slowly.

When the night is dark and the wind is high, you can faintly hear the barking of dogs.

Something quietly pushed upwards beneath the layers of frozen fish.

"...Where was this sent?"

Shen Tang ignored the fishy smell all over his body and climbed out of the mountain of piles of fish. His muscles and bones made crackling sounds, and his body shape gradually returned to normal. She stretched her frozen limbs and regretted the bad idea she had made earlier. Qishan is not here, and Luan Xin is not here either. Shen Tang cannot use the ways of a scholar as a disguise, so he can only use the methods of a brave warrior to achieve the purpose of hiding in the belly of the fish.

The enemy can't be found out, but he himself will suffer.

All complaints came to an end when it was discovered that the location was a granary.

Shen Tang: "...granary? The enemy's granary?"

That captain is quite kind-hearted.

In the middle of coding, I was dragged by my friends to eat melon.

I ate some of it wholeheartedly, and I hated why such a person could produce a mysterious crystal!
