Chapter 226: Could it be a lonely little ghost?

The soldiers were excited and wanted to follow Guagua in shouting slogans, but they were afraid that the little princess they admired so much would notice something unusual, so they could only shout in their hearts.

Down with the Great Yang Kingdom, down with the little beast!

Down with the Great Yang Kingdom, down with the little beast!

Tian Xiaosong's face flushed red, he looked at Luo Ranran with admiration, his tone filled with indescribable excitement.

"Princess, thank you for the elixir you gave me. My body has fully recovered. To express my gratitude, I will personally take you and the Crown Prince to the source of the river."

"To be honest, the source is sparsely populated and overgrown with weeds. If there is no local to lead the way, you will get lost."

Luo Ranran nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of Brother Tian."

Tian Xiaosong was even more excited and waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, it's my honor to lead the way for the princess."

Woohoo, Dad and Mom, my son has achieved success. Have you seen it, your spirits in heaven?

…

The source of the river.

At this time, there were 380 burly men with fierce eyes, arrogant expressions, and wearing ordinary people's clothes squatting here.

They sat around the fire, talking nonsense and tearing roasted prey into their mouths.

Not far from them, there were ten bodies covered in dried blood. They were none other than the people sent by the magistrate of Wushuang County to explore the source of the river.

"Ah, this is so boring. I've been eating prey for several days in a row and I'm almost tired of it. It would be nice to have a drink."

One of them threw the bone in his hand into the fire with a look of disgust, and then looked at the centurion sitting on the mat with a smile.

"Captain, today is already the seventh day. Counting the days, the untouchables in Wushuang City should be almost extinct! Otherwise, let's go back to the team. We can't stay in this godforsaken place any longer."

The centurion glanced at him sideways and gave him a stern warning.

"Wang Er, put away your little thoughts. The general has entrusted such an important task to us. We must stick to our posts and get the job done. The general will definitely not miss out on your benefits when the time comes."

Wang Er smiled awkwardly.

"Captain, that's not what I meant. I was just too bored, so I said something so stupid. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The people around had twinkling eyes and laughed and joked.

"Wang Er, you are an animal who can't control your lower body. Are you thinking about women?"

"Hahahaha, brother, if you're bored just tell me, we can have some fun too."

"Wang Er, I have to say, you are really good at enjoying yourself. Not only did you do nothing during the mission, but you also wanted to play with women. If you didn't have your brothers in the army to support you, you would have been kicked out of the barracks long ago."

"Wang Er, tell me, how many women have you played with in your life?"

…

The people around him spoke in a sour tone, and knowing that Wang Er was a man who could take a joke, they could say anything.

The main reason is that they are mentally unbalanced.

It's because Wang Er has a backer, while they have nothing. It's really unfair.

Wang Er laughed heartily and glanced smugly at the people around him, his back straight. He liked being flattered.

"To be honest, when it comes to playing with women, I, Wang Er, am the best. In short, no woman I like can escape from my grasp."

After saying that, Wang Er licked his lips with a squinting look.

The captain rolled his eyes speechlessly. Others might be afraid of Wang Er, but he was not. "Wang Er, you are quite good at bragging. With your courage, you would piss yourself if someone threatened you with a knife."

"I..." Wang Er was slapped in the face and was very unhappy. If it were someone else, he would definitely get angry, but this person was a captain of a thousand men, so he didn't dare to do that.

"Haha, Captain, what are you talking about? I, Wang Er, am not as timid as you say."

"Haha." The centurion looked at us with extreme disdain. "You only know how to talk big. When something really happens, you will just cower behind us and tremble like a coward."

Wang Er gritted his teeth in anger.

Although, this was true, he just didn't like to hear it.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing this, the people around him laughed unabashedly and looked at Wang Er as if he were a clown.

Wang Er was so angry that he wanted to die, but he was so timid that he could only find an excuse to relieve himself and leave.

After Wang Er left.

The crowd laughed even louder, and their expressions showed unabashed contempt.

"Captain, this Wang Er is the illegitimate son of that person, aren't you afraid that he will complain to that person?"

The captain snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Although he has the power to supervise the army, he has no real power. No matter what decision he makes, he must get the approval of the general."

"Besides, our emperor has long been dissatisfied with him. The reason he sent him to the border is just..."

At this point, the centurion immediately shut his mouth, and his men looked at each other, not daring to ask more questions, and quickly changed the subject.

"Captain, we don't know what the situation is in Wushuang City right now. Do we need to send someone to check the situation?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame the county magistrate of Wushuang City for being too strict. Anyone who wants to enter the city must have their identity investigated within three generations. Otherwise, they will be treated as spies."

"Yes, that bastard county magistrate is really cunning. He is obviously a small official, but he has such wide jurisdiction. He even refused to accept the bribe we gave. Should we say he is stupid? Or should we say he is too naive?"

The centurion's face darkened.

To be honest, the county magistrate of Wushuang City is a selfless and honest person, and he admires him from the bottom of his heart.

If their country of Dayang could have a few more officials like this, the people would be blessed. It's a pity that the country of Dayang has been rotten to the core with corruption from top to bottom.

Including him, the same goes!

For his own fame, fortune and status, he can put aside everything and do anything.

Including this mission, no one else in the barracks dared to take it on because of their conscience. But he dared to do it because he had no conscience and was very stubborn.

He is not afraid of those wronged spirits seeking revenge on him.

The general promised him that as long as he accomplished this task, he would be promoted to the commander of ten thousand men, managing ten thousand soldiers and enjoying unlimited glory!

The more the centurion thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, as if he saw the scene when he was promoted to captain of ten thousand men, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, brothers, hold on for a few days. After all the people in Wushuang City are dead, I will take you back to the team to receive the general's commendation."

"When I am promoted to the commander of ten thousand men, I will definitely promote you to be my personal soldiers, and let you follow me to rise to the top."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates were overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to congratulate the captain with a flattering look on their faces.

The centurion looked delighted and couldn't stop laughing.

[You must be dreaming!] You want to be the leader of ten thousand men and your family will prosper, but your life is almost in danger. Stop dreaming. 】

who?

Who is speaking?

The centurion and others' faces suddenly changed. They looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing and their hearts were beating wildly.

Could this babyish voice be a lonely little ghost?
