Li Rui and Li Cong knelt on the ground, shouting injustice at the top of their lungs.
"General Mingjian, we rushed so close to kill the enemy for meritorious service..."
"The reason why the arrows will fly over the city is because the bow has to be fired from the bottom up, and it is blocked by the battlements, so it is not very accurate.
Moreover, when you are more than twenty steps away, the arrows shot straight up do not have much power. Only by throwing the arrows and falling down with their weight can they kill the enemy thieves..."
"If the general doesn't believe it, you can find an archer at will and ask him..."
"Damn it!" Li Hao glared angrily and slapped the table with a heavy palm, "The bold thief, are you laughing at Mr. Li who doesn't know anything about military matters and doesn't even know how to shoot an arrow?"
"I don't dare to be humble!" The two brothers lowered their heads fiercely.
"You dare to be disrespectful even to Shangguan, what else can you not dare to do?" Li Hao said angrily, "Pull it down, it's a hundred sticks!"
The two brothers were shocked.
If you hit these hundred sticks, even if you are not beaten to death, you will have lost half your life. How can you escape?
Li Hao obviously has no evidence at all. It is more likely that he believed the words of his two brothers, but he still wanted to commit such a murder?
Regardless of their identity as spies, in the eyes of most of the rebels and civilians, what the two brothers did today was actually meritorious rather than excessive.
The reason why Li Hao didn't let them go was because he was clearly thinking about the two horses owned by the two brothers.
What a good thief, you don’t have any face left, and you don’t want to chill the hearts of your subordinates?
This is more than just greed, it is simply evil...
Li Rui had some regrets: If he had known that such a change would happen, he should have given the horse to Li Hao when he first entered the camp, instead of harboring illusions and thinking of escaping by riding a horse.
It seems that we can only fight...
With a flash of sternness in his eyes, Li Rui bowed down fiercely: "General, calm down, we brothers are willing to atone for our sins..."
Li Hao's eyes lit up: "How to redeem the law?"
"We have no more money, so we only have those two bad horses, which we are willing to offer to the general to use as food for the army..."
I guess you two know each other.
If you had known as well as you do now, why would you have forced me to be such a bad guy?
Li Hao raised his eyes and scanned the other dozen soldiers. Most of them did not dare to look at him, but before they lowered their heads, their eyes were clearly full of contempt.
Are you probably already cursing these things in your heart?
So what if I feel chilled?
A bunch of bastards know a bird feather?
Tomorrow, the whole city will be handed over to the monk camp, including you bastards and vegetable people.
After daybreak, grandpa will return to the general's guard camp. If he doesn't seize the time and get greedy again, how can he have such an opportunity in the future?
Even if grandpa is not greedy, when those thieves come, do you think you can keep these two horses?
Two idiots...
Li Hao snorted coldly: "The death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime cannot be escaped... One person is punished with ten lashes!"
Li Cong's eyes turned cold, and he was about to argue, but was glared back by Li Rui.
Don’t even look at it. Is this a reasonable place?
Li Rui bowed again: "Thank you, General, for your forgiveness!"
"Get out of here, get out of here..." Li Hao waved his hand impatiently.
Most of the soldiers were driven away, leaving only two or three close followers under the shed.
One of them glanced outside, looked at Li Rui and Li Cong who were being led out for execution, and said sullenly: "I see that these two brothers are obviously unwilling, and maybe they already have a grudge. Why didn't the brigade commander say no?"
Do it endlessly?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a beheading motion.
"Silly?"
Li Hao squinted his eyes and sneered, "These two people escaped from the white-armored thief, and they even showed their faces in front of the general. What if the general has a sudden idea one day, or wants to know about the white-armored thief?
Military information, what should I do if I want to summon these two people? Can grandpa transform into two more living people?"
The cronies were shocked and stared at Li Hao in disbelief, as if to say: Then you still dare to take their things?
"What the hell do you know? Of course I don't dare to kill him, but what if I change him to a monk?"
Li Hao smiled sinisterly, "Don't forget, these two brothers killed monk soldiers on the day they entered the camp.
When I leave the camp tomorrow, I will naturally find a way to remind the monk general who came to take over the rebels. Guess how that group of bald thieves will deal with these two brothers?"
Several close followers seemed to be frozen, staring at Li Hao blankly.
If you fall into the hands of that group of monks, what else will happen? If you can be chopped off neatly, it will be God's mercy...
Poison, damn poison!
I have never realized that Li Hao is so cruel?
What's more, my heart has already become cold.
These two brothers saved your brother's life. It's fine if you don't repay your kindness, but you actually planned to let the two brothers suffer the pain of skinning and cutting off the flesh for the sake of two horses?
Is this what the fuck was done by humans?
God knows one day whether Li Hao will use these methods on himself...
……
The rest were ordered back to the camp, and only four soldiers escorted the two brothers to the open space outside the camp.
"You two, I'm sorry!" The leader clasped his fists and pointed at the ground, meaning to tell them to get down.
"Brother, don't worry!" Li Cong whispered, then looked back and saw no one around, then reached out and touched his collar.
When I took my hand out, like a magic trick, four more copper collars appeared in my palm.
Not big, each one is about the size of an index finger, only about two taels at most. In peacetime, you can buy thirty or forty kilograms of corn.
But in the eyes of these soldiers at this time, this is no longer small money.
The eyes of the four soldiers suddenly shone with light.
The leader was not satisfied and said greedily: "Everyone can get one. Isn't there a little less?"
Li Cong suddenly laughed: "Brother, don't be too greedy. It's just ten lashes, do you want me to move a mountain of gold for you?"
It means that no matter how much you give, the worst case scenario is that you will receive ten lashes.
Upon hearing this, the leader's eyes turned cold. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he moved his eyes to Li Cong's neck.
The two brothers were shocked.
These damn thieves are really a bunch of thieves. Not only are they greedy, they are so stupid that they even risk their lives.
The two of them bent down fiercely, and Li Rui laughed ferociously: "Are you really blind? I don't even think about it. If my brother is so easy to kill, will it be your turn?
Even Li Hao knows that if you want to take advantage of my brother's money, you have to find a reason. Even if I laugh at him like that, Li Hao can only vent his anger with a few whips. You guys are so brave, you actually think about it.
Kill my brother and silence him?"
The leader was stunned at first, and then was shocked.
I was so blinded that I was so blinded by the wealth that I forgot that not only did the two brothers meet the general, they were also personally appointed as team leaders...
"Hey, you two have misunderstood. Even if you give me ten more courages, you wouldn't dare..." The leader stretched out his hands and bared his teeth, smiling awkwardly.
Li Rui didn't care, and still put the four copper collars into the leader's hand, then turned around and lay on the ground.
"Hit the back, don't hit the legs... The first two lashes are strong, but I hope you will be lenient with the next eight lashes..."
"Don't worry!" the leader responded firmly.
After being awakened by Li Rui, how could he still dare to play tricks?
After ten lashes, the four soldiers went back to resume their duties, while the two brothers lay on the ground, pretending to hum.
"It's all your fault. If I hadn't ridiculed Li Hao for not knowing how to fight, how could he have had the ten lashes later?" Li Cong complained to Li Rui while puffing on the air conditioner.
Afraid that Li Hao would have a whim, he came to check his injuries. The first two whips were really strong, and there was even blood. How could it not hurt?
"What the hell do you know?"
Li Rui cursed in a low voice, "The more righteous he is and pretends to have been greatly wronged, the less likely Li Hao will be suspicious... It's a shame that this bastard only has money in his eyes and has never thought about why you and I just ejaculated."
Arrow, there was thunderous cheers on the city top?"
At the mention of this incident, Li Cong suddenly became excited, as if he was still scared.
I don’t know whether to say it’s because the two brothers are lucky, or to blame them.
Not even a moment after receiving Li Hao's military order, the two brothers had just walked halfway when cheers started from the top of the city.
This is obviously someone who picked up the letter arrow...
It was also luck. A piece of stone fell on the city at that time, killing seven or eight rioters on the spot. The rioters around were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
Li Hao only thought that this was what the guards at the top of the city were cheering for...
But I can hide it for a while, but I can’t hide it forever.
Tonight or tomorrow, once a fire or smoke is lit on top of the city, Lang Jun will definitely send troops to attack.
By then, no matter how stupid the thief chief is, he can still guess that there are spies sent by Li Chengzhi to secretly communicate with the defenders on the city.
The identities of the two brothers are so special that it is difficult not to be suspected. What's more, their actions during the day are like lice on a bald head, bright and dazzling...
Therefore, we can no longer stay in this bandit camp.
"The question is how to escape?" Li Cong sat up, looked at the dark bandit camp, and asked worriedly.
"The best way, of course, is to follow what Lang Jun said, disguise yourself as a refugee, sneak into a civilian camp...and then wait for an opportunity to set fire to lure Lang Jun to rescue..."
Li Rui replied, "The placement of this bandit camp is completely unorganized. Not to mention that the soldiers don't know the people, and the people don't know the soldiers. Even the number of people who die under the city every day is probably not even counted... As long as you can get along...
If you go into other private camps and stay away from Li Hao, you can still survive for a while..."
"You said you can only survive for a while, but what happens after that? What if the bandit soldiers send you and me to fill the soil under the city before you and I have time to set the fire, before the king comes, and you dare not go?"<
/p>
Li Cong gritted his teeth angrily, "Not to mention, eating that kind of thing every day? Grandpa would rather fight with that Li Hao now than eat vegetables and meat..."
"Then there is no other way, there is only the last way!"
Li Rui stared at the monster-like city head and sighed coldly: "Enter the city!"
"I've known for a long time that you didn't give up!" Li Cong glared at Li Rui, "The worst thing we can do is give it a try, or let Mr. Lang see if our graves really smoke...
Besides, even if you are shot to death under the wall by the guards on the city, at least you can leave a whole body. It is thousands of times better than being eaten by these beasts that are inferior to beasts and then turned into feces..."<
/p>
Li Rui grinned: "Then let's fight?"
Li Cong nodded fiercely: "Of course we fought hard..."
