Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, The Young Man Raises His Sword Chapter 245: Every Man in the World Has Aspiration
This sentence sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue in the ears of these five soldiers.
The expressions of the five people suddenly changed. With a "pop-" sound, the bowls containing the meat in their hands fell to the ground in an instant, and the soup and water spilled all over the floor.
The five people's faces suddenly turned ashen, and they all turned their heads to follow the sound.
But they saw a young man in white standing behind them with an angry face, glaring at them.
These five people recognized the young man in white as the celebrity in front of the Prime Minister - Su Ling, Su Changshi!
The five soldiers were so panicked that they all knelt down on the ground with a plop, bowed their heads, and said they would spare their lives.
Su Ling calmed down his anger, and then said in a deep voice: "You want me to spare your lives, but there is room for negotiation. Whatever I ask you, you answer truthfully. If you dare to deceive me, you will be taken to the military court immediately!
"
The five people kowtowed and knelt down hurriedly, and all said in a trembling voice: "Excuse me, Su Changshi, we will definitely not dare to deceive you."
Su Ling nodded and still said in a deep voice: "Which one of you came up with this idea!"
When these people heard this, they all pointed at the strong man and said, "This is all Chen's bold instigation. Otherwise, we would be frightened to death and we would not dare to kill the war horses to eat!"
At this time, Chen Dadan had long since lost his courage, his face turned pale, and he could only shout for mercy.
Su Ling nodded, looked at Chen DaDang with a bright light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Chen DaDang, let me ask you, who gave you the courage to steal war horses and kill them for food!"
Chen Dadan looked like he was mourning. He kowtowed several times and said, "You deserve to die, you are so greedy! Master Chang Shi, please spare your life!"
Su Ling snorted coldly and said: "If you dare to eat, you must be willing to bear it with your life. I will take you to the Military Lawyer. Will you be convinced?"
When Chen Bingdao heard this, his body was like chaff. He immediately kowtowed with tears in his nose and said: "Chang Shi, Chang Shi, this little man has some bad intentions."
When Su Ling heard this, he sneered and said, "What kind of evil can you do to kill a war horse and eat its meat? Let me tell you quickly!"
Hearing this, Chen DaDang kowtowed again and said: "Su Changshi, I, Chen DaDang, have been in the army for more than ten years. I have no ability and am just a low-class soldier. These people are all from my hometown. I was the one who led them back then."
I came out. The brothers are all suffering. We didn’t have enough to eat before joining the army. I thought it would be better if we joined the army. But we are lower-class soldiers. There are military rations and meals in the military camp, but they are all made by the officers.
The upper class soldiers and ordinary soldiers eat first, and it is our turn last. But how much food is left after it is our turn? We do the heaviest work, and we are at the front when charging into battle, so how can we have enough food in ordinary times?
Well, in the end I can only make it to 40% full, so I always wake up hungry in the middle of the night."
Su Ling somewhat pityed them, but then he remembered that they should not kill horses to satisfy their hunger under any circumstances. If they were short of food, it would be excusable, but now that there is enough food and grass, this is really hateful.
Su Ling thought of this and scolded coldly: "This is the reason why you killed the horse!"
Chen boldly waved his hands and said: "Su Changshi, although we killed the war horse, there is something wrong with the horse. It has always been with the army, but it has never been in battle. It is only in the stable and no one is taking care of it.
We were half-kneeling listlessly, not eating any fodder, and now it was almost skin and bones. We thought it was an old horse that wouldn’t be able to go to the battlefield anyway, and no one would use it. Would it really die there one day?
It’s not a waste, so we stole the horse in the middle of the night and went out to kill it and eat it!”
When Su Ling heard this, he felt a little doubtful. He glanced at each of them again and said in a deep voice, "You guys, is what Chen boldly said true?"
Hearing this, these people nodded hurriedly and said: "Su Changshi, what Chen boldly said is true. If it is a good horse, there will be an owner. It scares us to death. We don't dare to steal and kill this horse."
Only when the old horse is eliminated will it become useless.
Lord, even if you kill and eat, not many people will pay attention. If the horse herds know about it, they may think that they have escaped, so we have this idea... Please also ask Su Changshi to show your respect and let him go.
Let’s do it!”
Su Ling calmed down after hearing this. Seeing that they all looked miserable and pitiful, frightened and frightened, she felt a little embarrassed.
They are also always hungry, and this horse is also an old horse that is about to die. Kill it and eat it.
Just eat the meat, I can't be too rigid.
Thinking of this, Su Ling calmly walked to the big pot with a cold face, but saw that the pot was still steaming hot. When she raised her nose and smelled it, the meat was fragrant. It was indeed delicious.
Su Ling was also a little hungry. This was not surprising. He only ate a few mouthfuls of noodles today.
Su Ling laughed suddenly, looked at the five frightened soldiers teasingly and said, "How much meat is left in the pot!"
The five people didn't know why. Chen DaDa was really brave and hesitantly said: "You're here after just a few bites. There's still a lot of meat in this pot..."
Hearing this, Su Ling raised his eyebrows, suddenly picked up the big spoon in the pot, and stirred it vigorously. As expected, he saw many large pieces of horse meat being stirred up, and then he laughed loudly at the five of them.
He smiled and said, "Why are you standing there? Come here and continue eating..."
The five people were completely confused by Su Ling's words. They all looked at Su Ling in disbelief, but no one dared to move.
Seeing them like this, Su Ling didn't care about them, and suddenly scooped up a big spoonful of meat and soup, and started to eat it quickly. He even saw the wine gourd on the ground, and picked one up casually, with a slurping edge.
Drink and eat.
Now the five people were standing there, all dumbfounded. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, such a big man would actually eat horse meat and drink wine outside the camp!
Who dares to believe it?
Su Ling took a few bites and felt that the meat was extremely delicious. Suddenly she saw the five people standing still, and then she laughed again and said, "If you don't eat, I will finish them all!"
Seeing this, Chen boldly became bolder and whispered: "Since Su Changshi asked us to eat, and Su Changshi himself also ate horse meat and drank wine, what do we have to be afraid of? Brothers, don't hesitate.
Come on, eat meat! Drink wine!"
As he said that, he scooped out a big spoonful of meat, picked up the broken bowl, put it in, moved it to Su Ling's side, and started eating.
As soon as he started, the remaining four soldiers became bolder, picked up the broken bowls, filled the meat, and started eating.
But he saw Su Ling in the grass hut outside the camp gate, surrounded by five men, eating meat and drinking wine.
Su Ling finally felt that the boredom in her heart was swept away by the good wine and meat, so she simply let go and drank and ate meat with them.
A military man with a bold personality.
Su Ling didn't have any airs about being an official, so he soon became familiar with them, and everyone was chatting and laughing happily.
A large pot of meat was almost completely destroyed by them in a short time, and Su Ling ate it all over the ditch.
He simply lay on his back in the grass and looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, the stars are like a sea, and the crescent moon is like a hook.
The five soldiers also followed Su Ling's example and lay down in the grass one after another, looking up at the stars.
For some reason, none of them spoke.
The starry sky is like a dream, and the stars are like yarn.
I don't know who said something in a low voice: "I miss my mother..."
As soon as he took the lead, and then one after another, the voices of these soldiers were trembling. It sounded like some were missing their wives, and some were missing the fat boy at home.
After saying this, these five soldiers and men actually started to cry softly. The sound of sobbing, accompanied by the night wind, made people sad.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
Su Ling was also touched by them, and worried about Zhang Zhiyue, she suddenly felt sad and full of sadness.
Suddenly he picked up the gourd of wine next to him, took a few sips, and roared: "Why don't you bring Wu Gou and collect Guanshan Fifty States! Look at you guys, with your little achievements, you're like a whimpering
Girls!"
After hearing this, the five people stopped crying and looked towards Su Ling.
Su Ling waved his hand and said: "Go and rest! Go and rest! Why worry about it? Why cry in sorrow? A man is born between heaven and earth, and he must make contributions and kill enemies and shed blood!"
Chen Bingdao was the first to turn over and sit up and said, "Su Changshi is right. Why do we join the army? Isn't it just to keep our relatives alive?"
The rear is well fed, warmly clothed, and safe! Don’t be a coward! When Shen Jizhou and his gang of birdmen arrive, let’s kill them to death! Kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one!”
"right!"
"That's right!"
Everyone roared.
Su Ling nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "You remember, this battle must be won, and everyone must live to go back alive to see your relatives!"
"Here -!" The five people clasped their fists and raised their hands, with tears of excitement in their eyes.
Su Ling then laughed again and said, "You guys, why don't you just sit back and relax for a while, just lie down and look at the stars? It's so nice, but you're just whirring like this!"
The five men scratched their heads in embarrassment, laughed and lay down side by side again.
After a while, Su Ling suddenly said: "Tell me, if you make meritorious deeds, what high officials would you like to be!"
"I, Chen Daring, want to be a general!..."
"I, Li Datong, want to be the Grand Governor!..."
"I, Han Shuang, want to be the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!..."
"I am Liu Chen...", "I am Zhang Fang...".c
"Ha ha ha ha......"
"Nagashi..."
"Huh? If you fart, hurry up and whine!"
"We can all eat the same pot of meat and drink the same pot of wine. Can we follow you and be your companions..."
"Whatever you do...we are all brothers!..."
"Yes! We are all brothers!..."
The night wind, stars and moon, the heroic spirit of a man.
............
The next day.
As soon as Su Ling woke up, he felt a slight pain in his head. For some reason, the bones and joints in his whole body were sore and swollen. He thought that he might have caught a cold due to drinking and eating meat last night and the night wind, but he didn't take it to heart.
He propped up his body and sat up, rubbing his sore temples, when he saw Xiao Cangshu walking in from outside.
He was holding a wooden basin in his hand, which was full of hot water. Seeing that Su Ling woke up, he said happily: "Brother Su went to drink somewhere last night. He came back drunk. He vomited and vomited for a while, and he was cold for a while.
It was so hot that I didn’t fall asleep until it was almost dawn. When I got up in the morning, I thought about you crying out that you were cold last night, so I poured hot water to give you a hot compress. I just came back from the third trip."
When Su Ling heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Cang Shu, I'm sorry to bother you, I did drink a little too much yesterday."
Su Ling was actually a little confused. She didn't drink a lot of wine yesterday, and horse meat and wine were both warming and tonic. How could she feel cold?
He couldn't tell Xiao Cangshu these words, he just thought about them silently in his heart.
Xiao Cangshu waved his hand and said, "Why bother? You are my brother and my master. I should take care of you, right? Brother Su, do you feel better now?"
Su Ling still felt sore and tired, but he thought it was because he hadn't had a good rest, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm much better."
He looked back at the house, but did not see Guo Baiyi's figure, so he asked, "Where is my big brother in Baiyi?"
Xiao Cang smiled comfortably and said: "My senior master felt better this morning, but my father sent someone to call you. He was thinking of you before you fell asleep, and couldn't bear to wake you up, so he went first and left a message to wait until you wake up.
Go see my father."
Hearing this, Su Ling nodded and pushed himself up, but as soon as he got out of bed, he felt dizzy, his vision turned black, a cold sweat soaked his whole body, and he almost fell down.
Thanks to Xiao Cangshu's quick eyesight and quick hands, he helped him up and said anxiously: "Brother Su, Brother Su, how are you..."
Su Ling stood there, closing his eyes and calming down for a long time before he felt a little better. Then he opened his eyes and smiled lightly: "Nothing... maybe he's still drunk..."
"
Xiao Canshu could only shake his head repeatedly, not knowing what to say for a while.
In order to reassure him, Su Ling strode forward for a few steps.
: "It's okay, don't worry..."
Xiao Cangshu could only nodded.
Su Ling then supported his body, stepped out of the room, and walked towards the Prime Minister's residence. This chapter has been completed!
