Not long after, everyone was seated around them after a long night's journey. They all seemed very happy to have time to rest and eat.
Captain Yuan was halfway through his meal and looked around casually. He suddenly felt strange and asked someone at the table casually: "It's broad daylight, why is no one here mining?"
The man smiled apologetically and replied: "I knew you were going to ask this, captain. I have already sent someone to check the news."
Captain Yuan smiled and patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaosi is smart enough to guess what I am thinking."
He said as if giving a reward and handed over half a bowl of wine.
The man who was called Xiaosi took it happily. He was not in a hurry to drink it, but flattered him first and said: "Hey, since I'm with Captain Yuan, how can I not do my best?"
"I'm trying my best, but I'm just too lazy." Captain Yuan laughed, causing many people around him to laugh too.
The laughter of the crowd slowly stopped, and Captain Yuan's strange eyes suddenly showed a peaceful look, and he said softly: "We have made great achievements this time. According to the original rules, we can make requests to the great knight and even His Majesty."
Xiaosi nodded and said: "I can finally go home..."
Before he finished speaking, Captain Yuan glared at him fiercely and did not continue.
A short man next to him asked doubtfully: "Xiaosi, what, you want to go home? We are all still young and strong and can fight for our country. Why are you so cowardly?"
Xiao Si slammed the table, pointed at the room where Wei Zhonglin was locked up and shouted: "With the strength of the Tenth Knight, can we people catch it easily? If you save a life, Feng Xiaomi, you can steal it yourself."
Just have fun, don't come out and pretend to be an uncle!"
The dwarf named Feng Xiaomi was also angry: "What do you mean by this? Are our brothers so useless in your eyes? Dozens of people can't catch even one of them. That's garbage and must be expelled."
Leaving the imperial city!"
Xiao Si angrily said with a smile: "Ha, now you can say such nice things? When traveling, who said it is best not to meet the Tenth Knight? All of you ask yourselves with conscience, who has thought about it?
This time our team can achieve this feat!”
When the two of them were quarreling just now, there were many people nearby who were making noises. But when Xiao Si asked this question, everyone immediately became silent.
Ye Guhong heard from the words of the two people that this team seemed to be a very weak team. On weekdays, they might just eat and wait for death. But today, they were able to capture Wei Zhonglin, an escaped prisoner, in one fell swoop.
great merit
But what Ye Guhong couldn't figure out was why Xiao Si, who was always flattering and acting like a bitch, would immediately change his temperament when he heard the words "fight for the country".
Xiaosi saw that he had shocked everyone, so he continued: "This time it is gold that fell from the sky. Pick it up, put it in your arms, and be smart! Tell me what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Be careful.
Think about it clearly! Think carefully about whether it is worth risking your life for this country! What should I do with my wife, children, and children at home in the future?"
"That's enough!" Captain Yuan suddenly shouted angrily, slapped the table, stood up, and slapped Xiao Si on the face.
After the crisp slap, Captain Yuan said coldly: "Based on what you just said, I can kill you immediately according to military law!"
As he spoke, he looked around and asked the dozens of people around him: "Did any of you hear what Xiaosi said just now?"
Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads collectively
Captain Yuan nodded and said to Xiaosi: "Okay, this time there is no certification to testify against you, so I will let you go temporarily. If there is another time, I will not be lenient."
Xiaosi nodded hurriedly and bowed: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Ye Guhong watched all this with cold eyes, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
It stands to reason that this tactful little fourth would not suddenly say such remarks that could easily cause trouble. Captain Yuan's reaction seemed too calm, as if everything had been prepared from the beginning.
Looking at the reactions of the rest of the people, everyone changed their happy and cheerful expressions. Most people became silent, as if they were thinking about something.
On this table, Ye Guhong was surprised to find that Captain Yuan, Xiaosi, and Feng Xiaomi immediately had no differences after they sat down. Instead, they poured wine to each other and toasted with their expressions as if they were celebrating.
Although he could not grasp the essence of it, Ye Guhong also got some clues from the words of these people.
Captain Yuan, Xiaosi, and Feng Xiaomi should have just colluded to put on a show. It is very likely that they were just saying what Xiaosi said just now.
When Xiaosi said, "Think carefully, is it worth risking your life for this country?" When Xiaosi said this, he was extremely emotional, as if every word came from the heart of Ye Gu, who was very close to him.
Hong felt the deepest, because if that kind of excited expression was acting, then the Xiaosi's acting skills would have been too extraordinary.
What if it's not acting? Could it be that these people no longer want to fight for their country?
After these words, the soldiers and subordinates who were originally enthusiastic became taciturn. If they were really thinking about what Xiaosi said, then it was most likely that Xiaosi was trying to persuade these people.
Said after leaving the army
Through the acting skills of several dialogues, these three people successfully instilled in all their subordinates the subconscious awareness that "it is not worth sacrificing their lives for the country". The purpose may be to encourage them to quit together.
After realizing this, Ye Guhong suddenly felt that he might have an opportunity because in the future he would help Di Xu regain the throne, and he would inevitably have to compete with the imperial city.
From people like Captain Yuan, we can see that although the soldiers of Penglai Kingdom appear to be loyal and patriotic on the surface, it is hard to say what they are like on the inside.
It would be great if we could get some clues from it, or encourage the soldiers to work together to overthrow the tyranny.
Ye Guhong was very lucky that he could be 'caught'. A combination of circumstances actually gave him an excellent opportunity to penetrate into the enemy's interior.
It would be the best if we could contribute to the troubled Penglai country without leaving any help.
Seeing that Ye Guhong was distracted, Captain Yuan slapped the table with his big hand, causing the dishes in front of Ye Guhong to overturn, and then shouted sternly: "I advise you not to try to escape, otherwise we brothers will catch you.
I want you to die in an ugly way!"
Ye Guhong hurriedly got off the stool pretending to be scared, crouched on the ground, and said tremblingly: "I don't dare, I'm just thinking about my old parents at home, whom I haven't seen for a long time.
sister"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Guhong immediately raised his head and looked at the reactions of Captain Yuan and others.
Sure enough, as Ye Guhong expected, Captain Yuan's angry expression suddenly disappeared, and instantly turned into a slightly sad look. He sighed softly and said to Ye Guhong: "It's good that you know, sit down and continue eating."
Ye Guhong was even more certain that Captain Yuan did not care about his country, but was very concerned about his family. If he could win his trust, it would be much easier in the future.
