"Liu Mang! Are you crazy?!" Zhou Tao felt furious and could no longer maintain any superficial politeness. He was already shouting at Liu Mang's tent in anger.

It has been snowing these past few days, and there is no movement in Huaiguo. Luo Yuan is busy recuperating from his injuries. Liu Mang feels that he has never been more nourished than ever in these past few days.

He was drinking tea in his tent, which was filled with luxurious furniture. The walls of the tent were hung with exquisitely patterned and valuable wool felts. There were several animal skins on the floor, and even the fires were hollowed out. Handicrafts and fine tea. Take a sip and feel that your body and mind are warming up in the winter.

He was not surprised at all when he heard Zhou Tao shouting at the door, but the other party did not rush in, probably because he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.

Liu Mang leisurely walked to the door and opened the curtain, only to see the other party being blocked in front.

"What's wrong with Adjutant Zhou? Are you so excited?"

"You still ask me what's wrong? You know exactly what you did! How can there be such a vicious villain like you in this world?!" Zhou Tao's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

He is really too naive. How could a duplicitous and cruel hypocrite like Liu Mang listen to advice so honestly?

"If I provoke you somewhere, you can just take out your anger on me. What do you mean by attacking those soldiers who have no idea?!"

The seriously injured soldiers in the past few days were all dead. Zhou Tao couldn't believe that it had nothing to do with Liu Mang!

"I don't know what you are talking about. I told you, Adjutant Zhou, that I was telling you a joke. Remember it? You kept saying that I had done something to those soldiers. If you don't provide evidence, you would be slandering the superior officer." Liu Mang was wrapped in a large cloak and his tone was casual.

"However, since Adjutant Zhou is working with me, forget it this time. The weather is cold. Adjutant Zhou should go back quickly."

Liu Mang looked like he was very talkative, but the guarding soldiers dragged him down unceremoniously. Liu Mang did not stop him, and he felt very happy when he saw that the other party dared to be angry but dared not speak.

However, this matter has not yet settled in Zhou Tao's mind. He went out of his way to investigate. The more he learned about it, the more chilled and angry he felt.

Those soldiers who were seriously injured did not receive good treatment. Under the instructions from above, they were only given the worst-quality trauma medicine. The firewood provided to them at night was short of a pound.

Therefore, within two days, these soldiers either died of serious injuries or were frozen to death unknowingly during the night.

It was Liu Hai who gave the order, but Zhou Tao knew very well who really gave the order. They didn't even mean to hide it, they just did it deliberately to show others.

Zhou Tao went to report to Luo Yuan full of anger, but he did not expect that the other party looked calm.

"You are still impulsive."

"But Liu Mang..."

Luo Yuan sighed.

"I am bedridden now, and my intimidation is not as good as before. I can't suppress him. The soldiers have been dealt with. It's too late to say anything. He is totally trying to intimidate us. If you give in to him, it will be easier for you later."

Zhou Tao said nothing, bowed and resigned, feeling a little lost, but Luo Yuan looked at his leaving back and knew that the other party had rejected him.

"Adjutant Zhou."

Zhou Tao didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by someone. When he turned around, he saw that it was bangs. The anger that was extinguished by a basin of cold water suddenly started to rise again.

Liu Hai smiled and his tone was quite polite, but he couldn't hide the contentment in his eyes.

"I'm here to bring a message to my cousin."

"Sometimes people have to be more aware of current affairs. They have to understand that the power of a high official is overwhelming, and it is easy to be broken. You should be a good person. When the weather gets cold, there will be no firewood, and if you get sick, there will be no medicine. Just walk around in this world. It ended with a roll of straw mats, but it was a very pitiful thing.”

Zhou Tao no longer felt impulsive, and inexplicable thoughts were surging crazily in his heart. It seemed that he could only see the opening and closing of his bangs, with a sarcastic expression on his face, and felt that his head had become dull and numb.

I really want to tear his face off, and together with Liu Mang, the dirty guy at heart, how can these two beasts in human skin live a happy life? If these high-ranking disciples from aristocratic families no longer have support, will they no longer be able to show their faces? ——Zhou Tao suddenly calmed down, looking at bangs and thinking silently.

Afraid that the other party wouldn't listen, Liu Hai finished all the words in one go. Some villains wanted to see the other party's desperate but helpless expression. Zhou Tao didn't want to just look at him like this and suddenly laughed.

Some sharp and harsh laughter, carried by the cold wind, made people feel bitingly cold. Liu Hai swallowed in fear and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Hahahahaha, are you threatening me? Do you feel proud?"

Liu Hai looked at the other party with a somewhat frightened look. Before he could speak, Zhou Tao suddenly tightened his expression.

"I know." Zhou Tao looked at Liu Hai steadily, his smile suddenly became kind, but the emotion in his eyes could not be seen.

"Tell Liu Mang that I 'got it'."

Liu Hai was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He stared at the other person in a daze as he turned and left. He felt like goosebumps were rising. He was afraid and planned to run back and report to his cousin.

————————————————————

"Is that what he said?" Liu Mang tapped his fingers on the table.

"That's what I said, but my expression made me feel very distorted. Did it hit me too hard and make me go crazy?" Bang Hai rubbed his body in fear, feeling that the cold feeling just now seemed to still linger on his body. go.

Judging from the situation of Zhou Tao described by Liu Hai, it is not difficult to know that he was rejected by Luo Yuan.

"Humph, I just couldn't accept being forced to bow my head and felt desperate, so I vented my emotions."

Liu Mang has been domineering in the capital for a long time. He has seen this kind of "incompetent roar" a lot. He was so angry with him before, but in the end he bowed his head to please him. Liu Mang didn't take Zhou Tao's reaction to heart at all, but felt that he would use this to hurt him. He came over - whether he really surrendered or not, Liu Mang felt that the other party could not make any trouble.

Due to the internal changes in the Wu State military camp, the atmosphere was a little delicate. Luo Yuan was ill in bed, and his intimidation and control were far less than before. Liu Mang took this opportunity to take Qiao's identity in front of some generals or soldiers. For a while, There was an undercurrent surging in the military camp.

It snowed heavily during the few days we settled in. There were people in the military camp cleaning it all the time, but it would be covered with a not too thin layer of snow every once in a while. Looking from a distance on the city wall, it was also white, and the sky and the earth seemed to blend into one. .

The reissued clothes in the military camp were not very warm to wear, but huddled in a windless place, it was still warm after a while.

Two or three soldiers guarding the city wall held weapons in their arms, standing not far away from each other, leaning against the city wall, seeming a little tired from the cold.

"cough--"

I felt like I heard something vaguely, and a soldier stuck his head out of the wind-shielding city wall in confusion. It was still a piece of white that looked a little tired, but suddenly there was a flash of light that confused his eyes.

When he lowered his head and saw that it was actually a hook used for climbing up the city wall, the soldier was so shocked that he even chased away his drowsiness. He straightened up and was about to call someone when his head suddenly hurt and he fell to the ground unresponsive.

The napping soldiers on both sides were disturbed by the movement here. They were a little surprised to see someone suddenly lying on the ground. However, when they saw the arrow feathers stuck on the opponent's head, their expressions changed with surprise.

However, this was just the beginning. Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air rang out in the whiteness below the city. The sound of "Climb, climb." continued along the walls of the city wall, and from time to time, white arrow feathers were shot into it.

"There's an enemy attack! Go blow the horn!"

"Hurry! They are going to climb the wall!!"

The soldiers on the city wall were in a panic, and the sound of horns sounded in a hurry and panic throughout the entire military camp.

Liu Hai was still lying on the bed soundly asleep at this time. He was still a little confused when he was called out of the bed. He seemed to be unaware of the big movements outside the military camp.

After learning that there was an enemy raid, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to find his cousin.

Although Liu Mang also wanted to make some big achievements, he didn't have the strength. After thinking about it in the tent, he went to Luo Yuan with all his heart.

Luo Yuan obviously also got the news. He was not surprised to see two people coming to him. He quickly ordered people to concentrate their troops on the city wall to prevent the enemy from climbing in directly. He would first block the people outside the city. .
