The subordinate officials did not dare to speak anymore.

If he talks too much, he will be wrong. He doesn't want to die inexplicably.

As for whether the young man had the intention to let him go, no one knew except the young man himself. The two played marbles with pearls for a while. The young man suddenly remembered something and asked the official: "Based on your understanding of my sworn brother, in this defeat, he Will the troops be withdrawn?"

The official saying: "In a humble position, I dare not speculate."

Young man: “That’s what you say!”

Official: "I think so... the baggage and food supplies have been burned. Once the Xiaocheng garrison knows about this, they will gather their troops out of the city to attack us. Our momentum is low and they are fighting with their last resort... Alas, it is better to withdraw temporarily and fight with them. The old general’s turn.”

The young man smiled and said, "I think so too."

Subordinate officer: "......???"

Inexplicably, he felt that the major general was in a very good mood at this time. He... seemed to want to see the army retreat temporarily???

After playing marbles for a while, the young man patted his stomach and complained that he was hungry.

Just as he was about to call someone to get food, he suddenly remembered that the food and grass had been burned, so he gave up the idea of ​​adding extra food.

After a while, there was a burst of joy and noise outside the tent.

He asked someone to go out and ask what was going on.

Xiao Bing replied with a happy face.

"Major General, what a good thing!"

The young man was bored and crushed a pearl, watched the powder fall on his fingertips, and asked casually: "Oh? What's the good thing?"

The soldier said: "The army is coming!"

youth:"!!!"

There was a crackling sound of things being thrown inside the tent, and the soldiers guarding the tent looked at each other in confusion.

Isn't this a good thing?

hehe--

This news was indeed a good thing for the rebel camp, which had its supplies of food and fodder burned, and its momentum plummeted, but it was not a good thing for the people in Xiaocheng. The young man looked at the direction of the commotion outside the tent with a gloomy expression, hanging by his side.

His fists tightened again and again.

Before I knew it, the sun was high in the sky.

A messenger soldier came outside the tent.

The old general wants to see him.

The young man pursed his lips tightly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still tidied up his appearance. He stepped out of the tent and put on his face the hearty and simple smile familiar to outsiders. Approaching the main tent, he looked far away in the direction of Xiaocheng, and could vaguely see

to the towering city wall silhouette.

I sighed secretly——

There is this calamity in your life, and you cannot escape it.

He bent down and lifted the curtain. Before anyone could enter, the voice had already reached the ears of the people in the tent: "Father, my son is here."

————————

"puff--"

The two scribes tried their best to help, and Zhai Le wasted no time in squandering his martial energy, and soon brought Shen Tang, who was nearly unconscious, to a safe place. Just as he stopped, Shen Tang held on to the tree trunk and vomited out a mouthful of black and red blood, pale and pale.

His face looks much better.

Zhai Le was nervous: "Brother Shen, what are you..."

Shen Tang waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, it's a small matter!"

She sat down and adjusted her breathing for a while.

The dizziness was barely suppressed.

While paying attention to Shen Tang's situation, Qi Shan was alert to his surroundings. Huo Di, he looked into the dark depths of the dense forest, drew his sword and said, "Who!"

Zhai Le also went into alert mode.

At this time, there was a rustling sound from the direction of the dense forest, and a familiar face came out, Captain Yang, who was escorting the tax bank! He responded: "It's me!"

After not seeing each other for a few days, Captain Yang became very haggard.

Qishan looked at him, then at Zhai Le who had put down his guard, then he retracted his sword with a swipe and bowed from a distance.

Captain Yang said to Zhai Le and the two of them: "You two haven't returned for a long time, and a fire broke out in the direction of the rebel camp. I thought your plan was successful, so I brought people over to respond..."

Qi Shan's complexion improved a lot.

Captain Yang noticed two unfamiliar faces, Qi Shan and Shen Tang, and asked hesitantly: "Are these two..."

Zhai Huan's mouth twitched slightly.

How should...how to introduce this?

Zhai Le was very enthusiastic and introduced with a smile: "Captain Yang, this is Brother Shen whom I often mention. He is amazing. This fire was a success thanks to the help of him and Mr. Qi! Brother Shen, Mr. Qi

,This is Duwei Yang, the garrison in Xiaocheng."

Captain Yang's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He said: "It turns out they are two righteous men."

Shen Tang reluctantly stood up, with a mixture of admiration and admiration on his face, and returned the greeting: "I don't dare to be a righteous man. I have heard about Yang Duwei's reputation for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was well-deserved." The formulaic smile was impeccable.

Qishan lowered his eyes and said a faint greeting.

The two men's greetings were insincere, but Captain Yang didn't mind. As long as Shen and Tang fought against the rebels, they were members of the same camp!

"This is not a place to stay for a long time. All the righteous men, please come with me."

Shen Tang's literary spirit was greatly depleted this time.
