Although Gong Xiqiu had received the news in advance, he couldn't help but change his face when he actually heard the order to withdraw troops.

After leading his troops back, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He rushed to his adoptive father angrily. Before he even got close, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra. When he opened the door, the hot air mixed with the fragrance of wine and rouge hit his face.

He said loudly: "Father——"

The old general put down his wine bottle.

Not surprisingly, he said: "Ah Nian is here, sit down."

He raised his eyes and saw that Gong Xiqiu was still dressed in armor.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the weapon on his waist and frowned slightly.

His expression suddenly turned unhappy.

"A-Nian, what do you look like?"

Gong Xiqiu casually took off his weapon and threw it to the soldier standing by the door. He strode forward and said anxiously: "Father, the alliance army is just a bunch of rabble. Gathering the power of all the generals and eliminating them is like picking something out of a bag. Why should we withdraw our troops?"

?”

The old general thought Gong Xiqiu was going to say something.

This is not surprising, it was Gong Xiqiu who said it.

But being mentally prepared and actually hearing it are two completely different moods. The old general put down his wine bottle with an unpleasant clang and said with a stern face: "A-Nian, you are getting more and more disgraceful! All we have to do is obey the order.

For other things, don’t ask too much.”

The staff member sitting at the lower right didn't even move his eyelids.

Gong Xiqiu stopped talking: "But -"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a somewhat familiar veteran. Gong Xiqiu cast his cold eyes over him - he was very familiar with this old man. He was an old man who had followed his adoptive father for many years. He had no ability but he was good at flattering and making trouble.

Son, and he is also somewhat related to the old general, so he is used to relying on his elders and selling them off.

He said: "Major General Gongxi's words are so light. Before the expedition, those heroic words were still in my ears. What was the result? I lost more than 2,000 elite soldiers in the battle with the rebels. I failed to send out the troops. I brought my troops back in despair.

The losses were heavy. Now you are saying that 'the Alliance Army is a rabble'... Is this because you are incompetent and shirk responsibility and are afraid of being held accountable?"

Others present were silent.

These days, they have been feasting every day, and their bodies have become lazy. It’s not that they don’t want to fight and make meritorious service, but even Gong Xiqiu cannot get any advantage from the alliance army, so they are a little worried in their hearts, and the secret news is misleading - the alliance army is still quite

Tyrannical.

Coupled with the order from above to withdraw troops——

They just went with the flow.

As for the run on Gong Xiqiu?

Hey, there are many people who can't stand Gong Xiqiu's barbaric behavior. It's just because of Gong Xiqiu's unbeatable record and the old general's defense that they have to endure it. Now I have a chance to watch "

"Warrior" jumped out to ridicule Gong Xiqiu, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can't miss such a good opportunity to watch a movie."

Everyone seemed to be lowering their heads to taste the wine, but in fact they were secretly raising their ears to "listen" to the excitement. Some of them were more "foresighted" and were secretly accumulating strength - if Gong Xiqiu, a barbarian, suddenly went crazy, he could evacuate as soon as possible.

, so as not to be affected.

To their disappointment, Gong Xiqiu did not get angry.

He just snorted sarcastically.

His eyes fell on the old general, waiting for a reply.

The old general scolded his confidants who were jumping up and down, then calmed down and said comfortingly: "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. No one dares to say that he is victorious in every battle. Underestimating the world's heroes is like a frog in a well, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss. Ah.

In 2007, it was not my father's intention to withdraw the troops. Due to military orders, I had to obey."

The seemingly loving eyes are filled with the same sentence.

【A-Nian, don’t be willful.】

Seeing that Gong Xiqiu didn't say a word, the old general was ready to talk to Xini again: "I've been running all the way. I see you're tired too. Let's go down and have a rest."

Gong Xiqiu stood still for a long time.

The old general's face turned darker and darker.

Finally, unwilling to clasp his fists, the young man turned around and walked away. His steps were no longer as light as before, and every step seemed to be venting his inner dissatisfaction. Without Gong Xiqiu, the spoiler, the music that had stopped started playing again, and the person pouring wine started playing again.

Pour wine, joke and joke.

The staff envoy said: "The temper of the young general..."

The old general said: "Young people are very popular."

"The general won't send someone to explain to the young general?" the staff messenger said very calmly, but if Gong Xiqiu was there, you could taste a bit of sarcasm in his words. He said to the old general, "so as not to hurt the father and son."

Being nice is not worth it.”

"It doesn't matter, A Nian is not the kind of person who likes to be petty." The old general waved his hands indifferently and said in a serious tone, "This child is also very forgetful. However, what the messenger said is not unreasonable. A Nian is not unreasonable.

At this age, he still can't calm down... He just missed once... There are many heroes in the world, but he can't really be invincible... Sigh."

In just a few words, the old general attributed Gong Xiqiu's temper to the failure of sending troops rather than being dissatisfied with King Pig's order.

The staff members smiled and said nothing.

Gong Xiqiu turned around and walked away before returning to normal.

The subordinate officer waited for a long time and trotted to catch up.

"Major General."

He looked a little worried.

Gongxi Qiu's treatment is not harsh and ruthless, but high-level brave warriors have their own aura of not being angry and self-powerful. When they are in a bad mood, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth will also be affected by it and become cold and cold. Other brave warriors

It will be very uncomfortable if you get close.

I'm afraid subconsciously.

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand: "Go back home."

The subordinate officer asked: "Aren't you going to the barracks?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "I won't go! It's so boring."

The subordinate officer couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he heard him complain about being bored.

Because every time Gong Xiqiu complained about being bored, he would find fun for himself, either singing, drinking, dancing, singing, drinking and dancing, or having people play beads with him... Just thinking about it...

So desperate.

"Major General..." The voice was somewhat pleading.

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand and let him go generously.

Returning to the house where he temporarily lived, Gong Xiqiu keenly smelled a strange smell in his territory - this smell was not dangerous, on the contrary, it was very weak and harmless.

Seeing the source of the breath, he remembered.

Previously, my adoptive father had used both soft and hard force on his dancing girl.

The woman's outfit this time had much more fabric than the previous one. It was covered tightly from head to toe and wrapped in a barrel shape from top to bottom. Her features were almost invisible. When she saw Gong Xiqiu come back, she was stunned and seemed to have no trace of her.

I thought I could see Gong Xiqiu again so soon.

The hand holding the plum branch froze and stood still.

She was at a loss.

Stuttering: "This, this flower is..."

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to explain any more.

Question: "Is it possible that someone will give you a hard time when I'm not here these days?"

The woman shook her head: "No, everything is fine."

Seeing that Gong Xiqiu had no intention of leaving her behind, she was happy and ready to leave with the plum blossom branch in her arms. As soon as she took a step forward, she heard Gong Xiqiu ask her a strange question: "Can you play beads?"

The woman was shocked: "Huh?"

Play beads...

Literally.

It was a monkey game that even the women in the boudoir despised, but Gong Xiqiu enjoyed it endlessly. Women naturally couldn't do it, but she could help pick up the beads that were knocked far away. The woman was wearing thick clothes and it was inconvenient to move, and she was a bit clumsy and naive when running.

.

After a while, sweat broke out on my forehead.

Gong Xiqiu saw it and said, "Oh, it's really different."

The woman asked in confusion: "What's different?"

Gong Xiqiu threw the beads casually, and the round, shiny longan pearls fell steadily into the porcelain vase where the woman put plum blossom branches. He smiled and said: "I know a Mama, oh, the 'girl' you are used to calling her, then

With physical strength, I can attack for eight hundred miles at night without losing breath!"
