Chapter 1649: Chapter 1649: Lending a Hand
Duan Changling listened, his face turned dark, looking at General Liang, Magistrate Hao and the others who all lowered their heads, unable to bear to look him in the eye, his face turned even darker.
He was extremely angry, pointing at Luo Ying and said, "Magistrate Hao, this Luo Ying is the bandit leader of the Eagle Food Gang and also a court criminal, you must immediately... You figure it out."
He wanted Magistrate Hao to immediately arrest Luo Ying, but he was apprehensive about the retaliation of the Eagle Food Gang bandits, so he changed his words.
The Eagle Food Gang bandits were enraged, pointing at Duan Changling and cursing, "Duan, it seems you truly want your family wiped out!"
Luo Ying raised his hand to stop the angry curses of the Eagle Food Gang bandits, saying coldly, "Such a scoundrel wouldn’t care about the life or death of his family, no need to trouble his family, directly poison him to death."
Duan Changling was shocked, his face turned pale, knowing Luo Ying, this madman, really dared to do so, he immediately said, "In front of all the officials, dare you poison a serving General? Magistrate Hao, quickly arrest him!"
Luo Ying laughed: "Who said I would poison you now? These three days, I’ll be a good man, poisoning you will be arranged for three days later."
Duan Changling was sweating profusely, wanting to beg for mercy, but with so many people around, he couldn’t bring himself to do it, so he could only remain silent.
Luo Ying saw the situation, sneered, "Oh, finally know how to shut up, had you known, you shouldn’t have barked just now!"
Barked?
Luo Ying actually called him a dog!
Duan Changling, angered, turned blue-faced, while Luo Ying comfortably lay on the door board, arm under his head, speaking of the decree from Emperor Jingwu: "I have merit now, these three days you must treat me well, otherwise it’s against the Imperial Decree, understand?"
Doctor Lu said his poison was not easy to cure, needed to detoxify once a month, detoxifying six times to clear completely, and he was poisoned and injured, must rest two days before leaving, otherwise afraid to die on the road.
He still had to go back to accompany Jiaojiao and the children, how could he die outside, thus borrowing the decree from Emperor Jingwu, demanding to enter the city.
General Liang said, "We naturally dare not disrespect the law of Emperor Jingwu..."
He showed a hesitant expression, then pulled Magistrate Hao aside to pretend to discuss, after a moment they came over, reluctantly said, "You can enter the city, but must stay in the place we designate, cannot leave within these three days, must leave before dark on the third day, otherwise we will arrest you as a criminal."
Luo Ying disdainfully glanced at the broken city walls of Xing’an Prefecture, said, "Such a shabby place, hard for you to keep me!"
He further asked: "Where do you want me to stay? I’ll remind you first, I originate from nobles, even if becoming a bandit leader, my standards are better than yours, so bad places, I won’t stay!"
Duan Changling, furious, this bastard still dared to choose!
However, he only cursed in his heart, dared not speak it out loud, fearing to be poisoned by the Eagle Food Gang.
Magistrate Hao said, "Stay at the Lei Family’s Trading Team, conditions there are nice."
Luo Ying angrily said, "Not going, what’s your motive? Want me to stay at the Lei Family’s Trading Team, they have so many Escort Masters, clearly want to seize the chance to have them kill me!"
This statement cleared the Lei Family’s Trading Team’s name, preventing trouble afterward when he left.
What?
Magistrate Hao said, "You misunderstood..."
Luo Ying interrupted him, "What misunderstanding, you dog officials of the dog Emperor all want to kill me, think I don’t know?!"
Magistrate Hao was yelled into a daze.
Ms. Gao Lei interjected, "Lord Ying, rest assured, these three days you are in the city, our Lei Family’s Trading Team won’t harm you, only watch over you, preventing chaos within the city."
Saying these words made Duan Changling feel comfortable. Ha, let you into the city, once in you are like in jail, being watched!
Luo Ying glanced at Duan Changling, this is why he said Duan Changling wasn’t smart enough... Such a person can earn merit with small cleverness, but can’t go far, will never become a talent like Xu You.
"Enter the city!" Luo Ying was defiant for a while, finally agreeing to stay at the Lei Family’s Trading Team, but before entering the city, he glanced at Duan Changling, warning, "Dare to steal merits, I’ll definitely poison you to death!"
Saying so, Duan Changling was pleased... What’s this bastard’s meaning? Saying that as long as he remains honest and obedient, he won’t be poisoned to death?
Luo Ying saw his happiness, in his heart disdainfully said: Indeed not smart, beat him once, give some benefits can control him.
"Let’s go." Ms. Gao Lei turned, leading Luo Ying and them ahead.
After Luo Ying stirred the trouble, earlier pursuing Rong soldiers General Cheng, General Zhou, Qin San Lang and others returned.
Duan Changling seeing this, was so upset almost smashing against the city wall.
Mother, he returned early to lead troops into the city first, so that the citizens inside thought he had the primary credit for the battle!
But now it’s futile, almost all Kangrong soldiers have returned.
"General Cheng, finally you’ve arrived!" Magistrate Hao and General Liang excitedly went ahead to welcome General Cheng.
General Cheng dismounted, cupped his hands in salute to them: "Brother Liang, Magistrate Hao, you’ve worked hard, it’s us who arrived late."
See how well he speaks, much better than Duan Changling!
General Liang and Magistrate Hao happily said, "Not late, not late, arrived just right."
General Liang and Magistrate Hao praised General Cheng and thanked General Zhou, asking about the Rong soldiers’ situation: "Are all Rong bandits eliminated?"
General Cheng shook his head: "Rong bandits’ Great General was killed, Rong soldiers in chaos, originally could annihilate them, but a royal general came... letting them escape, it’s my incompetence."
That royal general was injured too, almost able to kill the Rong royal general, truly a pity!
General Liang and Magistrate Hao listened, regretting deeply: "Alas, those beasts truly are lucky. But General Cheng is fearlessly brave, we on the city wall watched the battle, revered General Cheng endlessly."
Duan Changling saw them speaking happily, very upset, interrupted: "General Liang watched the battle from the city wall, did he see who killed Leimuqin?"
Duan Changling deliberately asked, no matter how skilled the surname Cheng is, the significant kill of the enemy’s Great General is not his!
General Cheng also wanted to know, asked: "Brother Liang saw the person? Must be identified, such a formidable character cannot be buried."
Seemingly not the slightest anger, but eagerly seeking talent, infuriating Duan Changling, internally sneering: Cheng, keep pretending, afraid you’re ready to find the person to kill.
General Liang laughed: "Haha, actually this General knows this hero, he’s exactly the Kangrong Company Commander from Tianfu County, He’an Prefecture, surname Qin."
General Cheng: "Qin Company Commander from He’an Prefecture, is it the one carrying He’an Prefecture’s government army Military Flag?"
General Liang paused, nodded: "Exactly, said to be personally chosen flag holder by General Guo from He’an Prefecture."
"Ha, indeed him." General Cheng laughed: "Surely brave, previously fought Rong soldiers, very skillful, commanding well, few casualties among his soldiers."
