Chapter 1461: The Power of Shrews
Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: The Power of Shrews
Last night, they were fighting the bandits near the post station, while those two groups of soldiers hid inside without coming out. When they won and most of their soldiers went up the mountain to chase the bandit leader, those groups came out to demand things.
They even falsely claimed they came out last night to help kill the enemy. Who did you kill? Did you kill the air?
I’ve never seen such shameless people!
Erqing asked, "Madam, what do we do now? Those two groups say there’s a Deputy General from Yuchang Prefecture in the post station, whose rank is much higher than a Company Commander."
Gu Jinli sneered, "So what if there’s a Deputy General? Vice General Fang is also here; how can we be afraid of them? Anyway, the things are ours, they shouldn’t even think about taking a speck of dust. If they dare to snatch them, we’ll slaughter them!"
Just last night, they had just finished killing bandits, still acting ferociously, how could they fear those two groups hiding in the post station, too scared to even show their heads like turtles?
Gu Jinli stood up and said, "Go, find Aunt Niu, have her gather our fierce women, and curse those bastards to death with the harshest language. Also, have You Xi, Feng Jin, You An, and others ready; if the other side seeks death, let’s fulfill their wish!"
Gu Jinli was very sleepy, wanting to sleep but was disturbed by this mess, furious and having murderous intent.
After all, they had just dealt with the bandits last night, slaughtering those two groups and blaming it on the bandit leader was easy.
"The old servant is going too." Nanny Tao was also sleepy, but she had to follow Gu Jinli closely... Without her mother-in-law, the Madam had to have an old nanny like her to shut up some ill-intentioned women.
"Take it slow, ma’am." Gu Jinli turned back to support Nanny Tao, and walked away with Erqing and Sanqing.
...
Last night, there were over a thousand bandits and Ding Family people attacking the Kangrong army, with nearly three hundred on horseback. Combined with the Qianyang County Military Office horses and the vehicles brought by Ding Ge, they obtained about four hundred horses.
Four hundred horses, that’s four hundred horses, the value is unimaginable.
And Ding Ge also brought all sorts of supplies.
The supplies included cold-resistant clothing, food, silver, and even weapons.
Such valuable goods, anyone who sees them would be green with envy.
Vice General Yu in the post station couldn’t sit still after hearing the outside soldiers defeated the bandits and obtained so many things, he came up with an excuse and sent Company Commander Wei and Company Commander Wu to ask Zhang Zhong for the goods.
Zhang Zhong, a confidant of Qin San Lang, was left behind this time to watch over these goods, specifically not entering the mountain to pursue the bandit leader as instructed by Qin San Lang.
These hard-earned goods must be guarded well.
Zhang Zhong was shocked to hear this, looking at Company Commander Wei and Company Commander Wu, asked, "What did you say?"
Company Commander Wei frowned, face somewhat displeased, said discontentedly, "I said, I sent people out last night to help kill bandits, and now I’m here to divide the horses. The military’s rule is, as long as you exert effort, you get a share of the loot."
Good heavens, not only are they lying to demand things, but they’re asking for the most valuable ones.
Zhang Zhong was speechless, "These are our things, I’m under orders to guard here, you’re not Company Commanders of our accompanying army, you didn’t come out to kill bandits last night, these things aren’t for you, get lost!"
Zhang Zhong spoke very rudely, and even exposed their lie, anyone sensible should leave.
But Company Commander Wei and Company Commander Wu were there to demand things, it was impossible for them to leave, so they used this opportunity to get angry, pointing at Zhang Zhong and shouted angrily, "You’re just a small Section Leader, not even a Chief Commander, and you dare to accuse us, you’re asking for death!"
Soon, they drew their swords and called out to their men, "Go, tie up this disrespectful fellow!"
"Yes!" Dozens of soldiers under Company Commander Wei immediately rushed up, fearing that Company Commander Wu would not move quickly enough to snatch things, hurriedly rushed up too.
Zhang Zhong didn’t expect them to be so shameless and immediately start to grab, quickly called his own men, "Brothers, up, beat these scoundrels who deliberately come to rob!"
Company Commander Wei laughed, "You dare fight our hundred men with just a dozen of you? Since you’re looking for death, I’ll oblige you."
He signaled to his soldiers, indicating they should beat them to death, and blame it on the bandits.
His soldiers understood, immediately rushed up, hacking at the vital points, "Kill!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A rain of arrows came, You An leading his men charged on horses, without a word, slashing at anyone they saw, in a blink of an eye, wounding more than a dozen soldiers, combined with those injured by arrows, over thirty soldiers from Company Commander Wei and Company Commander Wu were wounded.
The two were shocked, hastily stopped, shouted to the shield soldiers, "Shield soldiers, quickly form a formation to block."
The shield soldiers, upon hearing, just came to their senses, hurriedly used their iron shields to protect their soldiers, fearfully watching You An and his men.
You An and his men had fought a whole night last night, still carrying the blood of the bandits, eyes full of killing intent staring at them, silent and very intimidating.
Company Commander Wei suppressed his fear, pointed at You An and said, "How daring, you dare shoot at Kangrong soldiers; this is a crime that will implicate your entire family, you’re doomed!"
"Bah, which rat is squeaking here? Do you still have any shame? Last night, when we were being killed by bandits, you hid in the post station without coming out. After we won, you want to come and share the loot. When you can’t get a share, you resort to killing, when you can’t win, you falsely accuse. How shameless can you be? Even rats have more dignity than you!" Mrs. Kuang came rushing with a large group of women, pointing at Company Commander Wei and others, cursing.
These women were all shrews, and having been chased by bandits all night last night, their stomachs were full of anger. Knowing these two groups had hidden in the post station without helping last night, they cursed loudly.
"You sons of bitches, whose mothers are prostitutes and fathers are eunuchs, how dare you rob our things? Has your whole family died, and you’re in a hurry to ride the horses home for the funeral?"
"Sansong’s mother, what you said isn’t quite right. Are such bastards capable of filial piety? Even if their whole family’s dead, and their ancestral tombs dug up, they wouldn’t rush home. They’re so desperate for horses because their wives at home have found a group of bedfellows. They’re afraid their wives will be sucked dry by wild men and are racing home to reclaim their spouses!"
"What? So these bastards are in a hurry because they’ve become cuckolds? That’s quite pitiful. But they’re so far from home, by the time they get there, their wives will have given birth to bastards fathered by their mistresses."
"Afraid of other men’s bastards? When they return, they can use their military salary to host a month-old baby celebration and bond with the man who cuckolded them, become sworn brothers. So even if they die in battle, someone will take care of their wives, what a fine affair."
The group of women cursed like a torrent, leaving Company Commander Wei and Company Commander Wu dumbfounded.
