lady, please calm down

Chapter 200

Hai time.

By the Huai River.

In the camp where the bonfire was burning, Mao Dan picked up a Qingjiang fish with a branch and roasted it on the fire. The eldest son at the side glanced at Liu Baishun and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Baishun, it's because you spoke for that Jiang Huaixiong. No, he dared to shoot an arrow at Brother Chu!"

Liu Baishun looked embarrassed.

As early as a few months ago, he joined the Wuwei Army with Liu Siliang's group of officers, and fell in the Humen Mountain Military Village of Xiongziying.

He was not supposed to be on duty tonight. While resting in the barracks, I heard that Chen Dutong had come to the military village overnight, but was shot away by Jiang Huaixiong. Liu Baishun hurriedly had someone put him outside the village in a bamboo basket, and followed the fire to find him. .

After meeting, it was natural that the brothers complained for a while.

Liu Baishun saw that Chen Chu who was sitting by the campfire looked calm, and tried to remedy it: "Master, why don't I take your seal and ribbon, return to the army village, and let Jiang Yuhou open the gate of the village to welcome the brothers to rest?"

"Since we have already settled down, don't bother, we will enter the village at dawn." Chen Chu said.

Liu Baishun stopped persuading him after hearing the words, and took a careful look at Chen Chu before saying, "Master, Jiang Yuhou is upright, don't take it to heart."

"Oh?" Chen Chu looked at Liu Baishun and said with a smile: "Brother Baishun has been speaking for him, it seems that you get along well?"

Liu Baishun was alarmed, guessing that his boss was reminding himself not to forget which side he was from, but he still bit the bullet and said: "Boss, I don't have a deep personal relationship with Jiang Yuhou, but he is different from the military guard officer next to him. .”

"Why is it different?"

"He doesn't drink soldiers' blood!"

"Oh?"

"Furthermore, only Jiang Yuhou of the entire Wuwei Army has tried the daily military order issued after the master took office as the left-behind commander of the capital."

"tried?"

"Well, the sergeant couldn't eat enough. Later, when he couldn't hold it anymore, Jiang Yuhou changed the daily exercise into the three-day exercise."

"Oh"

Chen Chu lay on the blanket with his hands under his head.

Winter night sky with a sea of ​​stars.
The next day.

At Chenshi, because it was the first time they met, Jiang Huaixiong carefully inspected Yinshou before letting Chen Chu and others enter the village.

Team B of the Xiongzi Battalion shook their heads as they watched Xiang Jing, hurriedly walked to Liu Baishun, and said in a low voice, "So is Yuhou! Obviously Deputy Chief Liu has already accompanied Chen Dutong, so they still have to watch Seal ribbon."

Liu Baishun also shook his head and sighed.

"Brother." Xiang Jing changed his affectionate tone, "You are close to Du Tong, if Master Chen punishes Jiang Yuhou later, you have to intercede!"

"Master Chen is not the kind of person who waits for a small belly"

Liu Baishun said not confidently, the owner is naturally not a stingy person, but Jiang Yuhou is not flexible, he might really annoy the owner.

In the military camp, the sergeants seemed to be unaware that a superior officer was coming to inspect, so what to do.

Compared to yesterday's Wuwei army camp, which was as dirty as a beggar's nest, the Humen mountain army camp was much cleaner.

The end of the hour.

Chen Chu asked Jiang Huaixiong to gather the whole battalion and order troops under the stage. The soldiers were neatly lined up. Although the military uniforms were also worn out, they were not that dirty and looked energetic.

"Boss, there are 200 people on the stage, and there are about a hundred people on duty on the wall."

Mao Dan, who took the opportunity to count the number of people, told Chen Chu in a low voice.

According to the usual practice, each battalion under the control of the left-behind division will eat 50 people, commanders and envoys will eat [-] people, and Yuhou will eat [-] people.

This is also the reason why each army, which was supposed to have 500 people, only had a thousand people showing up.

Not counting the fire consumption picked up by senior officers, Caizhou Left Behind Division has [-] battalions of the Fourth Army under its jurisdiction, and the empty salary that Zheng Yi ate was two thousand
Otherwise, how did he get his 10 taels of property.

On the contrary, Jiang Huaixiong's first battalion has more than three hundred people. It seems that Liu Baishun's words are true, at least he didn't eat the gluttonous meat of empty salary.

After knowing what he knew, Chen Chu said a few words without pain or itching, and then ordered the whole battalion to disband, and let Jiang Huaixiong take him to the small school grounds in the village.

"I've heard that Marquis Jiang Yu has the unworthy courage to use a two-stone strong bow to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. Can you practice it?"

Chen Chu, who was quite interested today, said with a smile.

The eldest son looked at Jiang Huaixiong in disbelief. Although the latter was taller than ordinary people, he looked strong at best. He could draw two stone bows?
The eldest son, known as the "King of Strength" of the Zhenhuai Army, could only barely draw the two crossbows. As for where the arrows flew, he didn't know.

Jiang Huaixiong bowed his head and remained silent when he heard the words. Xiang Jing beside him knew that the officer had committed another crime, so he hurriedly said in a low voice: "Master Jiang! Show Chen Dutong a hand!"

Jiang Huaixiong replied: "The purpose of learning martial arts is to fight the enemy and protect the people! It's not to be a monkey for others to see!"

It seemed that he was not used to speaking in a low voice, so even though he lowered his voice a little, Chen Chu still heard the words.

Chen Chu smiled without saying a word, pretending he didn't hear it, and continued to wait for Jiang Huaixiong to demonstrate.

The eldest son, who didn't believe it at all, was not happy, "Hey! That man, if you can't do it, you can't do it, why are you talking nonsense!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Huaixiong glanced at the eldest son, wanting to retort, but in the end, because the other party was the closest person to the Shangguan, he endured it and went back, instead saying: "Bring my bow!"

The following drama is a typical reversal and slap in the face
A hundred paces away, the arrow went straight through the bull's-eye, and continued to caste until it landed on the dirt wall behind the target.

It's just that in this scene, the eldest son who questioned the other party and was slapped in the face has become a villain that everyone loves to see in novels.

Because I guessed that Jiang Huaixiong was carrying a great sword with great skills last night, he stood with his arms folded and said coolly to his eldest son: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. The strength of bows and arrows does not depend solely on brute force. skill based!"

"Hey, Big Sword, this is the longest sentence I've ever heard from you since I knew you."

Chen Chu, who was in a good mood, smiled.

The eldest son is simple-minded, seeing that the other party is far better than himself in the bow and arrow, he doesn't feel embarrassed, he scratches his head and smiles, and asks for advice.

Jiang Huaixiong didn't want to offend Shangguan to death, so seeing his eldest son's sincerity, he began to teach him sincerely.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere on the school grounds was harmonious.

Xiang Jing and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

But I didn't want to, the warm atmosphere only lasted for a while.

It's the end of time.

There are two meals a day in the camp, and it's time for the morning meal.

Seeing that Chen Chu and the others had no intention of leaving, Jiang Huaixiong asked a spoiling question, "Dare to ask Mr. Dutong, but do you want to stay for dinner?"

"Well, since it's meal time, let's eat some in your camp."

Hearing what Chen Chu said, Jiang Huaixiong showed a bit of embarrassment, "Master Dutong, the village didn't prepare in advance, and the meals are crude, I'm afraid you may find it hard to swallow."

Whoops, I still want to drive people away after hearing this.

Xiang Jing and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

But Chen Chu made up his mind to stay and eat this meal, "No need to prepare, we will eat as much as you usually eat."

After finishing speaking, Chen Chu took the lead and walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Huaixion, who was a few steps behind, was immediately surrounded by Xiang Jing and other subordinates, "Jiang Yuhou, hurry up and send someone to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy some meat! Let's eat that pig food, adults will not be able to throw bowls and scold mothers!"

"Buy meat! Our brothers haven't eaten meat for several months. Today, we have brought 200 people together. If we eat one meal, we will have to eat one less meal this month! If we buy meat again, we will drink northwest wind at the end of the month." ah!"

Jiang Huaixiong is plausible.

Xiang Jing and the others are right. The food in the Humen Mountain Army Village is really like pig food, not even as good as the pigs in Luliuxu. The latter eat bean curd residue and sweet potatoes from time to time.

The daily meal in Humen Mountain Army Village is a bowl of thin noodle soup mixed with black bean flour and bran, which hurts the throat.

The only condiment was a piece of vinegar cloth, soaked in the bowls of Xiang Jing and several others in turn, and finally passed it to Jiang Huaixiong's hands. Li sucked it, and wanted to give it to Chen Chu, but felt that Shangguan would dislike it, so he handed it to the eldest son who seemed to be a pretty good man.

The eldest son didn't dislike it either, he grinned foolishly, and actually took it and put it in his own bowl.
It has to be Yao Meili!
Chen Chu, who wanted to act like he was sharing weal and woe, couldn't finish the bowl of soup in the end.

After the meal, Chen Chu asked casually, "Jiang Yuhou, a few months ago, my official issued an order to exercise every day. Why is there no exercise in your camp today?"

Xiang Jing, who sat beside him anxiously, said to himself: It's broken.

In the morning, he reminded Jiang Huaixiong, asking the latter to arrange for the brothers to practice today to deal with Chen Dutong.

Jiang Huaixiong, however, disdains to do such deceitful things.

Today, Humen Mountain Army Village hosts Chen Du Tongxing so poorly, I think this young adult wants to use this to find trouble for Jiang Huaixiong.

Hey, Yuhou is very good, but he is too straightforward and doesn't know how to adapt. It's a ghost that such a temper can attract Shangguan's love!
Xiang Jing couldn't help looking at Liu Baishun for help, hoping that the latter would give Jiang Yuhou some good words for a while, and not punish him too severely.

All the officers in the Sitting Xiongzi Battalion were anxious, but Jiang Huaixiong held a frank look, clasped his fists and said, "I want to teach you to know that the soldiers in the camp have never been paid, and the brothers can't eat enough, and they can't do it every day." Supported, the subordinates had no choice but to change it to a three-day exercise."

When Xiang Jing heard this, he wished he could go up and cover Jiang Huaixiong's mouth. What are you talking about, why is there not enough food and rice for the army?It's not that these Shangguan took it away!
Didn't you slap Mr. Du Tong in the face if you said it in person?
"My lord." Xiang Jing bit the bullet and got up, wanting to help Jiang Huaixiong with a few words.

Chen Chu waved his hand and didn't give him a chance to speak, then looked at Jiang Huaixiong, "I am your general, and you are my soldiers. Since there is not enough food and rice, why don't you tell me earlier? How about it, two days later , you go to Caizhou, and I will give you an extra batch of food and grass."

"Your Excellency's words are serious?" Jiang Huaixiong was surprised.

"Of course it's true. Is it true that I have nothing to do and come to Baili to joke with you?"

"The last general will thank you sir on behalf of the [-] brothers in the entire battalion!"

Jiang Huaixiong knelt on one knee and cupped his fists, saying loudly.

Contrary to his excited appearance, Xiang Jing and the others showed solemn faces. He and the others thought, Jiang Yuhou greatly offended Du Tong today, how could he give us a batch of food and grass for nothing!

I'm afraid that after coaxing Yuhou to go to Caizhou, he will punish him severely.
