Chapter 357: Meeting by chance, all are other people's wives
After looking for a long time, Wang Tong looked at his colleagues around him with disbelief.
"Are these all soldiers from Yong'an City?"
One of the lieutenant generals nodded with difficulty: "It can't be wrong, General. The centurion leading the group looks familiar to me. We've had a drink together before."
"Yeah, that's right. I remember him too. He was drunk and rolled under the table."
The lieutenants spoke one after another, and soon they had told all the leading centurions about the matter.
Wang Tong's expression on the side grew increasingly grim. After a while, he finally couldn't help himself and roared, "What the hell is the point of talking here!"
"Hurry up and go to the front and ask what the hell is going on and who gave the order!"
"It's the general!"
Seeing Wang Tong getting angry, several generals hurried forward and stopped a centurion.
"What are you doing? Who told you to carry the provisions? And what are you doing out of the city instead of patrolling the walls?"
The centurion who was stopped bowed and said, "Generals, we have received orders. This mission is confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone. Please clear the way."
"What? Secret?"
"That's right, sir, please clear the way and let us pass." The centurion spoke again.
Several lieutenant generals were undecided and turned to look at Wang Tong.
"Tell me, who gave the order?" Wang Tong said indifferently. These were all his soldiers. Which bastard transferred them away without saying a word?
If I let them go, I'll be left alone.
"General, this is confidential. I'm sorry I can't tell you." The centurion said calmly.
Wang Tong's face quickly darkened, and he drew his sword and pressed it against the centurion's throat.
In an instant, murderous intent burst out in the eyes of several sergeants beside the centurion, and they drew their swords and pointed them at Wang Tong.
"stop!"
"Put down your weapons! Or I'll kill you without mercy!"
Wang Tong's chest heaved as he spoke almost word by word, "I'll ask again, who gave the order?"
"I'm the commander of Yong'an City. You dared to act on your own without even receiving orders from me. Are you truly fearless of death?"
Just at this moment, the centurion in front who was recognized by Wang Tong and others hurried over.
"General Wang, you, what are you doing? We are all family. Did they make some mistake?"
Wang Tong turned his head and looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Your name is Lu Ren, right?"
"Your Excellency, General, that's right." Lu Ren spoke quickly.
Seeing this, Wang Tong slowly put away the sword in his hand and turned to look at Lu Ren: "Tell me, what is going on and who gave the order."
Lu Ren looked at Wang Tong with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "General, please don't ask. I really can't say this."
"Anyway, in short, we saw the tiger talisman and acted according to it."
As he spoke, Lu Ren slapped his head and pointed at the city gate, saying, "By the way, General, the person who gave the order is still in the city. If you have any questions, why not go and ask him."
"As for me, I am just a man following orders. General, please forgive us."
As he spoke, Lu Ren saluted Wang Tong again, turned around and asked a few people to continue moving forward.
Wang Tong narrowed his eyes into a slit and stared at the scene in the city, not saying a word for a long time.
After a long time, a lieutenant bravely asked, "General, what did you see?"
Wang Tong slapped the lieutenant on the head with his backhand and cursed, "I saw a Gou Ba! Do you think I have clairvoyance?"
The lieutenant general who spoke covered his head with his hands, showing no sign of anger at all.
"Then General, what have you been looking at for so long?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me to meet that bastard!" Wang Tong said angrily, but before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by an older lieutenant behind him.
"Old Huang, what are you doing?"
"General, no, have you forgotten the news we received a few days ago?" Old Huang stared at the direction of the city gate with a serious look.
Wang Tong's body stiffened, and he immediately retreated obediently.
During this period, the defenders of many cities in the western part of Yunzhou seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be contacted. This news has now attracted the attention of senior officials.
"Old Huang, this can't be possible. Our Yong'an City is already close to the central part. Who is so brave as to come here and cause trouble?" Wang Tong said no, but he was very honest and pulled Old Huang back to the side of the road.
Old Huang stared at the city gate, pondering for a moment before speaking, "It's hard to say, sir, but we should be careful now. From what I can see, the defenders in the west are probably dead."
"If we brothers still want to live, we must not enter the city."
"Are we just going to stand here and watch?" Wang Tong said dissatisfiedly. The soldiers and food in the city all belong to him!
Now that they've been moved out, he, as the owner, can't say anything or ask anything. What the hell is the difference between this and the sleeping male owners in those Japanese love action movies in novels!
"Not entirely. We are guarding here now. When we see the man's true face, we will draw it immediately and report it to the emperor. It will be a great achievement." Old Huang explained.
Wang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up.
You're right. The soldiers were gone because they left with the tiger talisman. Since ancient times, it has been a common practice for soldiers to only recognize tiger talismans and not people. There was nothing Wang Tong could do about it.
At most, he would have to let Prince Zhao allocate it to him in the future. As for food and fodder, that was even simpler. He could just open a granary in the city and have everything.
"That's right. All of you, take off your armor and go to the city to capture a painter for me."
Wang Tong waved his hand and gave orders.
At this time, inside the city, Jiang Yuan was walking on the streets with a few people.
This place is too far away from Taiping County, and it is obviously unrealistic to let the people go there. Jiang Yuan simply didn't bother to say anything and was ready to just shout a few times when he walked directly to the middle of the street.
When the group walked onto the street, Jiang Yuan was about to speak when he found that only Zhao Kai, Wang Jue and Li Hu were left around him.
When Jiang Yuan found Kong Xuan and Qin Tianzhu, the two guys were looking at each other with obsessed eyes.
"What a beautiful person!"
"Even without makeup, you are more beautiful than countless other women."
Jiang Yuan looked at the two of them in surprise. Why were these two idiots acting so pretentiously today?
"What are you looking at?"
"Sir, squat down and look across." Qin Tianzhu said, giving Jiang Yuan a look that showed he understood.
Jiang Yuan squatted down doubtfully, followed their gaze, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
In a half-open window opposite, you can see a woman drawing her eyebrows in front of a mirror.
Her every frown and smile perfectly illustrates what it means to be a disaster in the world.
Jiang Yuan let out a breath slowly. This was one of the few women he had seen who could compete with Bai Wei in appearance.
However, their types are almost at two extremes. Bai Wei is a cool and aloof queen, while this one is like a hot girl next door.
Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "If I could marry a woman like this in my life..."
Halfway through his words, Kong Xuan's face suddenly darkened, and Jiang Yuan also stood up, shaking his head with regret.
And all this happened because a child hugged the woman from behind.
"Come on, Kong Xuan, why don't you continue?" Zhao Kai said gloatingly.
Kong Xuan punched Zhao Kai twice in anger, still looking at the window with reluctance: "What a pity."
"Yes." Jiang Yuan patted his shoulder: "This scene makes me want to recite a few lines of poetry."
"Oh, I didn't expect that you are also a person of temperament." Kong Xuan looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, "It's true that the mountains and rivers are difficult to cross. Who can pity the people who have fallen? When we meet by chance, they are all other people's wives."
Kong Xuan's expression was a little petrified, and it took him a long time to relax. He asked cautiously, "Sir, I remember you wrote about this in the Book of Songs."
"Well, you must have written it. The original text doesn't seem to say that, right?"
