Chapter 181 My General Likes Men
Xiao Ning thought about it and said, "This is not difficult. Such a big city must have a lot of garlic in stock. I don't think the rebels will steal too much garlic to eat. After all, they are not garlic birds."
Military Doctor: "What kind of bird is the Garlic Bird?"
How come he had never heard of this bird?
Xiao Ning: "...Uh, a bird that likes to eat garlic."
Military doctor: “…”
He is probably too ignorant.
Xiao Ning said, "Okay, I'll go out and see if I can get some garlic. You guys go ahead and get busy."
After seeing Xiao Ning off, he ran into another military doctor who asked, "Have you seen a garlic bird?"
other side:?
The military doctor saw his confused look and knew that he didn't know either.
It seems he is not the only one who is ignorant.
He stroked his beard and continued to work.
Xiao Ning went out and saw that everyone had cleaned up the city gate and the surrounding streets and was fetching water for washing. He then joined in and helped to fetch water to clean the streets.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly said: "General, you have worked hard all night, go and rest, we will take care of it."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, let's finish the work early and leave early, then we can have a good meal tonight!"
With Xiao Ning joining in, everyone seemed to work more energetically, and by the afternoon, the streets were washed clean.
At this time, Yunzhou City looked just barely presentable.
Xiao Ning arranged for some people to rest and some to be on duty, and then change shifts at night.
Seeing Xu Chong jumping up and down there energetically, Xiao Ning waved at him. When Xu Chong saw him, he immediately rushed over.
Licking his face, he said playfully, "General, do you have something to ask me?"
Xiao Ning said, "Of course. Go get a gong and strike it to call out the people who are living in their homes. Tell them that the Xiao family army has defeated the rebels and the city is safe. Please invite them to come out for some fresh air."
Xu Chong: "...I think even if I say that, they might not come out. They don't know whether the Xiao family army is good or bad."
Xiao Ning: "They don't need to know whether the Xiao family army is good or bad. They just need to know that the Xiao family army will not harm them."
Xu Chong: "But how can we prove to the people that we won't harm them?"
Xiao Ning smiled slightly: "If you recite our military laws to them a few times, they will know that we have no ill intentions."
Xu Chong: “…”
No hehe.
Seeing Xu Chong's face droop, Xiao Ning asked, "Why, did you forget?"
The general had said before that military law must be kept in mind at all times. If he knew that he had forgotten it, he would definitely punish him severely.
Xu Chong: "...No, I haven't forgotten, I just don't remember it clearly."
Xiao Ning: “…”
What is the difference between forgetting and not remembering?
"All actions..."
Xu Chong subconsciously replied: "Follow the general's command."
"Cannot harm..."
Xu Chong continued: "The lives and property of the people are safe."
Xiao Ning: "Don't you still remember this? Go ahead and tell the people loudly what kind of team we are!"
Xu Chong clenched his fist, stood up straight, and answered loudly: "Yes!"
So Xu Chong ran on the street holding a gong, shouting, and stumbling over and over as he recited the military law of the Xiao family army.
Occasionally, when he got stuck, there would be kind soldiers to help him continue reciting, and Xu Chong would be able to continue reciting.
The people, who were originally frightened by the commotion last night, did not dare to go out when they heard that calm was gradually returning outside, and they did not even dare to look out the door.
Those who have cellars at home hide in the cellars, and those who don’t have cellars hide in the corner they think is safest.
They were afraid that these people would suddenly break in and rob them again, and they no longer had any extra food or money to give them...
"Bang——"
The sudden sound of the gong made everyone's heart tremble.
Then a loud male voice rang out: "Fellow villagers, we are the Xiao family army, the official one!"
"We have already defeated the bandits and rebels who occupied Yunzhou City. Now it is our responsibility to protect the safety of all the elders and fellow villagers! Until the imperial court sends officials..."
"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers. We have strict military laws and will never harm you..."
"The first rule of the Xiao Family Army's military law..."
As Xu Chong read out sentence after sentence, the people hiding in their homes were vaguely moved, yet felt it was unbelievable.
Their lives have always been worthless, so how could anyone value them so much?
Many people thought this was fake, and believed that this was some new tactic of the Xiao family army, and that they were probably trying to lure them out and kill them.
The child was puzzled when he heard this: "But those people wanted to kill us, so why would they trick us out? They could just rush in directly. Would it be difficult to find a place for us to hide?"
The family was silent.
There were others who had the same idea. Despite their family's opposition, they climbed out of the cellar and went out to investigate.
But I saw soldiers on the street wearing black armor and swords at their waists, looking very formal indeed.
When he came out, someone smiled and waved at him.
This was the first time that an officer or soldier greeted him. He raised his hand and waved blankly.
"Brother, don't worry! Our Xiao family army has strict military discipline and will not harm the people. Don't be afraid!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
He stared at the soldier's back for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
Xiao's army...
That’s great.
He turned around and went home, excitedly sharing what he had just seen and heard with his family.
The family was surprised after hearing this, "Is there really such an army..."
He nodded excitedly, "Of course it's true! Mom, I want to join the army, I want to join the Xiao family army, protect the people, protect our homeland!"
The news that the Xiao family army had strict military discipline, did not harm civilians, and did not plunder property quickly spread throughout Yunzhou City. The people who had been hiding in their homes came out. They walked bravely on the streets to see the Xiao family army soldiers who had strict military discipline and were kind.
The soldiers were indeed kind.
When he saw them looking at him curiously, he would smile kindly in return.
It warms the heart of the people who watch it.
"Benefactor?"
The woman who had been rescued by Xiao Ning before also came to the street and happened to see Xiao Ning walking in from the city gate.
Xiao Ning hadn't had time to change his clothes, but he had washed his face when he was fetching water to clean the street, so he could be recognized at a glance.
The woman came in front of Xiao Ning and her eyes became moist.
Seeing Xiao Ning's skills and demeanor that day, she guessed that she was of extraordinary status and came to the city to investigate something. Unexpectedly, Yunzhou City was recaptured not long after...
As neighbors for many years, many people on the street knew the woman. When they saw her call out "benefactor" and walk towards the young man covered in blood, they all stopped and watched.
Xiao Ning smiled when he saw the woman, "How are you these days, my lady?"
"I am fine. My benefactor, could you please tell me your name this time? I will go to the temple and pray for you, wishing you a long life."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Although she didn't believe these things, Xiao Ning softened her heart when she met the woman's eager eyes.
"My surname is Xiao, my given name is Ning, and my courtesy name is Yanqing."
After beating the gong and shouting all the way, Xu Chong's throat was almost smoking. He walked over and saw a young lady looking at Xiao Ning eagerly, so he said, "What's the matter? Are you interested in my general? Young lady, I advise you to give up this idea. My general likes men."
Xiao Ning: “…”
