Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 55 Celebration

Xiao Luo glanced at me, and then said: "The Yue Ming army is the army of benevolence and righteousness. The king of Dongyue has an order that soldiers entering the city are not allowed to take a single cent from the common people; from tomorrow onwards, the granary will be opened, and each adult man will receive a ration. Two jun grains, half a jun each for women, children, the old and the disabled, and those who volunteered to join the army will be rewarded with two grains, and those who have made military achievements will be rewarded even more!"

In the dead silence, Xiao Luo's voice was exceptionally clear.The villagers who have not yet recovered from the shock do not believe that such a good thing will happen. You look at me and I look at you with big eyes and small eyes, and dare not make a sound.

He was not angry, and said: "Come here at noon tomorrow to get food, don't come here if you don't believe me, if there is any leftover food, we will share it equally with everyone. General Xiao, right?"

My back shivered, and thousands of eyes looked at me. I put on an embarrassingly amiable look, and said with a dry smile: "You are not joking, this king has always kept his word!"

Only then did the crowd explode, and some children cheered, "Long live the King of Dongyue!"

I smiled and nodded towards the crowd, then I touched behind Xiao Luo, and asked in a low voice: "I never said that I would open a warehouse to stockpile food, and it's not like you spend money like that."

He just smiled indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of myself. We don't have enough troops now, it's worth spending some money, and I don't know what will happen in two years. That money will never be used again.”

I had nothing to do with the rich and powerful Boss Xiao in front of me, so I could only stand aside resentfully, smiling and cheering at the group of heartless and unscrupulous people.

In less than two years, this so-called "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" went all the way northward with overwhelming momentum, almost invincible and invincible.However, I, the "King of East Vietnam", is really useless-not only all the decisions are made by the "military adviser" next to me, but even when fighting on the battlefield, I dare to hide far behind others. Only when I get rewarded for my merits can I have a good time in front of people.

But I was also happy to be at ease.I'm a person who doesn't even bother to help when the oil bottle is down. It's better to have someone take care of everything.I only need to chat with the soldiers every day, and if necessary, show my face and pretend to be a "king", why not do it?

As the saying goes: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away." However, the place close to the imperial city has suffered wars and natural disasters in recent years.

On the contrary, Qingshui City, a small county town, can still vaguely glimpse a few traces of the rich scene of "not picking up things on the road and not closing the house at night" in the past few years. Live your own life well, regardless of whether the magistrate Yang County or Mazhi County where he was killed today, some people even naively think that magistrate Yang County died well and wonderfully - once this dog official dies, everyone will have food.

At night, the city was decorated with lanterns, and there were a few misty songs from far away, and in the golden house compound where Yang Zhixian used to hide his beauty, the firecrackers had just been set off and the banquet was set up at this moment.

Sitting on the upper table, I looked down at those big men with round waists and thick shoulders who were flattering me, and thought to myself: If any of them can lift my neck and pinch me to death with a flick of a finger, what should I do? Can he accept the respectful "King" from him?

Xiao Luo, who was beside me, saw that I had something on my mind, and reminded me in a low voice: "Be happy after winning the battle!"

I nodded, calmed down and cleared my throat: "Brothers, I, Xiao Luo, am a straightforward person. Everyone is happy after winning the battle. I won't say much about the nonsense. Everyone eats and drinks well. I will do it first as a respect." !"

After finishing speaking, I picked up the wine jar and poured it into my mouth. I drank the wine in an instant, and I threw the empty jar, and the applause from the four audience immediately resounded through Yunfei.

I have a few catties and a few taels of alcohol, so I know very well in my heart that the wine has been quietly mixed with water before, and it is so weak that I can't even taste the wine. To put it bluntly, I just poured a pot Just cold water.

Rolling up my sleeves and wiping my mouth, I said loudly: "Just now I saw that the concubines in the mansion are very beautiful, but if you have killed more than ten enemies this time, go and choose one yourself, don't grab it and start a fight. But I can say the ugly words first, and anyone who dares to touch the common people in the city will be dealt with by military law!"

Sure enough, there was another burst of cheers as soon as this remark came out.

I really can't bear the sight of those people in those yards pushing glasses and changing glasses, complimenting each other with less wine and talking more. After eating a few bites of food, they walked out of the yard with the wine jar under the banner of convenience-this time It's real wine.

Sure enough, as I expected, a few pawns guarding the gate of the courtyard found some jars of wine from nowhere, and they were already drunk at the moment.

I suddenly became playful, approached quietly, pinched my nose and shouted: "Why don't you drink less, and the king of Dongyue will see it later, and we will lead the army to punish him again!"

Hearing the words, a short, fat pawn spat without looking back, and cursed loudly: "Bah, bastard, the king of Dongyue is a ball. This is the first time I have won a battle, so I must drink!"

The other pawns felt something was wrong, and turned their heads to see that it was me. They looked like they had seen a ghost, but they didn't dare to make a sound.I was scolded all over my face, touched my nose in embarrassment, coughed and cleared my throat: "Who are you calling a coward and who is a ball?"

When the pawn heard my voice, the hand holding the wine jar froze in mid-air.He turned around slowly, and when he saw that it was me, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, trembling all over.

I saw that kid, oh, what a coincidence, You Maobing!

I walked Fang Bu to his side and circled around him.His face, which was flushed with fright, suddenly turned pale.I put my hands behind my back and said with a smile: "You Maobing, right? I didn't hear what you just said, so say it again!"

Hearing this, his hands were shaking as if he was sifting chaff, he bowed to me, fell on the ground, and shouted: "King of Dongyue, please forgive me, the young one made a slip of the tongue after drinking, the young one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die!"

I smiled and asked, "Oh? You said you should die, right?"

Hearing this, the chick nodded as if pecking at rice, but then realized something and quickly shook his head.

"Then you said you slipped your tongue after drinking, how about I cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs?"

When he heard this, big tears rolled down and hit the ground: "Please forgive me, King Dongyue, I still have an old lady in her 70s at home..."

I saw that his tears were as round as pearls, so I stopped teasing him: "I was thinking about how to reward you for your meritorious service in saving me today, but now it seems unnecessary!"

He flattered him so much that he almost fell to the ground: "The little one doesn't want to be rewarded, the little one is willing to be the king of Dongyue, this is the little one's blessing!"

I enjoyed his compliment very much, and laughed, "Get up! By the way, who did you just say is a coward?"

As if he had been pardoned, he replied firmly: "I!"

I shook my head: "Oh, people are old and their ears don't work well!"

He immediately stood up and shouted to the sky: "I'm a coward! I'm a coward! I'm a coward!"

I nodded in satisfaction, and a few pawns around me laughed when they saw it.

After his making such a fuss, the gloom in my heart was swept away, I made an exception and brought a few jars of good wine, and led a few youngsters to the back of the house to drink and watch the moon.
