Chapter 21 Military Order

The two foreign relatives Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu were brought to Xiao Jingchuan by Qiu Zhizhong. Xiao Lang intended to use a trick to force the two to submit.

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong) has repeatedly made suggestions about how amazing you two are."

"If I don't allow these two to fight and make merit, it would be me, Xiao Jingchuan, who is ungrateful!" Xiao Langyan.

"Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Xiao? We are all working for the Crown Prince. We are colleagues and should be on the same page and work together!"

"Xiao Lang is a young man of talent and great potential. When we get to Nanjing in the future, he will surely be promoted to a higher position. It is not impossible for him to be made a marquis or a prime minister. His meteoric rise to fame is just around the corner!"

"Today, Prince Consort Gong and I came here to do the work you ordered us to do!"

After he finished speaking, Liu Wenbing put on an air of pretentiousness and smiled in a falsely humble manner.

Xiao Jingchuan rolled his eyes in his heart at the empty words and pretentious look.

"Haha, you two are joking. How dare I be called an errand boy?"

"We are just doing our job together, we are just doing our job together!" Xiao Jingchuan replied helplessly.

"Hey, Liu Wenbing, why are you using those empty words in official circles for no reason?"

"Xiao Jingchuan, what titles did I, Gong Yonggu, have? That was all in the past!"

"Now that I am going south for the prince, I just want to do my part."

"I can't stand a little guerrilla general like you yelling and yelling!"

"I accept that I am temporarily controlled by you. When we capture Nanjing and have more soldiers, we can each lead a team out to give it a try!"

"I, Gong Yonggu, have been familiar with military books since childhood and am good at archery and horse riding. I am not a piece of clay!"

Unlike Liu Wenbing, the imperial son-in-law Gong Yonggu was straightforward and spoke in a casual and unrestrained manner.

When Xiao Jingchuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Haha, good! Captain Gong Yonggu is so generous! He speaks so eloquently!" Xiao Lang gave a thumbs up in praise.

"Hey! You fucking fool Gong!"

"I just memorized those few words with great difficulty. It's not easy for me."

"You came here and messed up everything for me!"

Liu Wenbing's efforts to pretend to be profound were once again destroyed by Gong Yonggu, which made him so angry that he started cursing!
"Okay, okay, okay, Mr. Xiao, let's not waste our energy. Just tell us what you want us to do."

"Okay, okay, Lord Liu, Captain Gong, don't worry!"

Xiao Jingchuan tried hard to hold back his laughter and motioned for the two to squat down with him. He picked up a dry branch and tried his best to gesture on the ground in the dim light of the evening.

"I just received intelligence that there is a small fishing village three miles west of our current location, a little upstream on the east bank of the Hun River."

"Right now, the bandits have transferred a large number of enemy troops from Wanping and Fangshan, and have set up a blockade east of the river bank. If we want to break through the blockade and force our way across the Hun River, we need bamboo rafts and boats."

"So I asked you two to come here this time, because I want you to hide your whereabouts, take some people through the forest to the west, and go to the small fishing village three miles away to investigate!"

"First, try to find out the deployment of troops along the river, especially whether there are bandits ambushing on the west bank of the Hun River."

"Second, we will see if there are any boats or rafts that can be used by our entire army to cross the river."

"Do you two understand what I am saying?" Xiao Jingchuan explained the whole story and the details of the specific mission.

"That's it?!" Gong Yonggu said with disdain.

"That's it!" Xiao Jingchuan replied.

"Xiao Jingchuan, for such a trivial reconnaissance task, you still need to trouble two of us?"

"Can't we just find a few soldiers and do it?!" Liu Wenbing also disdained this arrangement.

"You two, we are still surrounded and blocked by bandits."

"Crossing the Hun River and escaping the encirclement is a matter of life and death!"

"If we are not careful, we will alert the enemy and let them find out where we are. Then we will all be stuck in this wilderness!"

"How can this be called a trivial matter?!"

Xiao Jingchuan deliberately exaggerates the situation in order to put pressure on the two in-laws.

"Well, okay!" "Let's do this job!"

"Gong Erlangzi and I don't need your soldiers. We can just take twenty or so servants from our own house with us!" Liu Wenbing compromised.

"You two, I, Qiu Zhizhong, will be with you!"

"Old Xiao, we have fifty servants. Let's take them all with us. It will be a good opportunity for us to gain some experience!" Qiu Zhizhong interrupted at the right time.

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong), why are you joining in the fun!"

"I have no idea whether to use these two gentlemen to carry out such an important mission!"

"Why are you making trouble?"

"If something goes wrong and things fail to get done, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

"The safety of the entire army depends on this, do you know that?"

Xiao Jingchuan seriously set a trap for Liu and Gong.

Qiu Zhizhong also had a serious look on his face and cooperated with the performance very well!
"Eh? Xiao Jingchuan, why do your words sound so harsh to my ears!"

"What do you mean by leaving it to us to do? We have no confidence! How can we have no confidence?" Liu Wenbing was successfully enraged.

"Oh, you two have misunderstood. There is nothing I can do about it. This is a serious matter, a serious matter!" Xiao Jingchuan added fuel to the fire.

"Cut the nonsense!"

"We've done this job, and I'll let my younger brothers go with us!"

"If you are worried, since we are in the army, we will follow the military rules!"

"I'm going to give you a military order, is that okay?" Gong Yonggu, this stupid guy, successfully took the bait.

"Yes, issue a military order!" Liu Wenbing chased.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan was overjoyed.

"Well, you two are real heroes!"

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), what do you say?!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lang turned his head and stared at Qiu Zhizhong.

Qiu Zhizhong was suddenly confused at this moment. He couldn't figure it out!

Old Xiao, just provoke them to sign. Why include me in the process?
If I don't clear myself up, who will play the good cop and the bad cop with me when I return in failure?
Will Xiao get excited and say "tulula"? !

How can I subdue the two generals and continue the performance?
"Me, do I sign too?"

Qiu Zhizhong gritted his teeth and spoke in a very vague manner. He turned his head away deliberately, and when he looked at Xiao Jingchuan, he gave him a hint with his eyebrows raised.

"Ha, brother Zhizhong, it's okay! The three of us are of one mind, so just sign it!" Liu Wenbing enjoyed watching the fun.

In response to this, Xiao Jingchuan also nodded secretly.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Zhizhong had no choice but to turn the situation around.

"Lord Liu is right. Since I am willing to go with you two, I will also take part in this military order! I, Qiu Zhizhong, am determined to stand by you, Lord!"

As he spoke, Qiu Zhizhong's mind was racing with thoughts. Suddenly, he changed his mind and thought that maybe Xiao Lang was going to do something big this time.

For example, asking those old civil officials to play the role of the good guy together!
By doing so, not only can we tame these two guys, but those old foxes will also be restrained because of this. Even if we can't expect to completely subdue them all, at least it's good to prevent them from causing any more trouble in the short term.

Thinking about this, Qiu Zhizhong no longer hesitated and decided to perform the rest of the play with all his efforts!
Xiao Jingchuan was also feeling uncomfortable at the moment. He was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he almost got internal injuries.

"it is good!"

"Changting! Bring me paper and pen!" Xiao Jingchuan said.

But before Xiao Lang could finish his words, the silly boy Gu Changting suddenly jumped up and handed him a pen and paper without saying a word!

You're so quick! This guy must have been eavesdropping nearby. He didn't hesitate at all. Why don't you pretend to search for it?

Such speed made Xiao Jingchuan stunned!
