Chapter 229: Did you knock me out?
Liang Jingyao thought that the bombs on the street were thrown by the Cheetah Army, so he didn't care. He was now anxious to kill all the Iron Cavalry in front of him, and then go over to see if Liang Baihao was dead!
At this time, Chen Hu came riding over and shouted, "Master! Liang Baihao is dead! He was blown to pieces!"
Chen Hu's words were like a thunderclap, which immediately sounded the slogan of victory and also shattered the last glimmer of hope of the Iron Cavalry Army!
The remaining Iron Cavalry suddenly lost their combat effectiveness, and they didn't want to go back to the capital. After so many battles, they knew very well the strength of Liang Jingyao, but they didn't know who else in the capital could lead the troops. Moreover, except for the old master Liang Baihao, the other new ones would not treat them as human beings. In this case, instead of losing their lives in repeated battles, they might as well surrender!
They simply threw down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender!
Liang Jingyao did not respond immediately. He first followed Chen Hu on horseback to the place where the earth bomb exploded. The ground was blown into a small pit, and the person lying in a pool of blood was a mangled mess. If you didn't look at his clothes, you couldn't tell which one was Liang Baihao?
"Zhan Hu, throw Liang Baihao to the city gate of the capital, and someone will naturally go to the palace to report!" Liang Jingyao called Zhan Hu and gave the order.
"Yes! I obey your command!" After getting off the horse, Zhan Hu threw Liang Baihao's body onto the horse's back, then rode away.
Next, Liang Jingyao rode back to the surrendered cavalry and said in a deep voice, "Since you are willing to surrender, you will be prisoners of war from now on! I will arrange things for you to do. As long as you are obedient and perform well, you may have the opportunity to return to the barracks! Otherwise, you can only do hard labor for the rest of your life!"
The Iron Cavalry Army hung their heads and said nothing, which was tantamount to agreeing with Liang Jingyao's words. In fact, they knew very well that the coolies would only be doing this for a period of time. With Liang Jingyao's strength, he would sooner or later attack the capital, and he would definitely release them into the military camp in the future. As for whether they could still form an Iron Cavalry Army, they no longer held out hope!
Liang Jingyao turned around and said to Chen Hu, "The defense you arranged today is very good. I leave the rest to you. I'm going to find Yue'er!"
Chen Hu knew in his heart that he had not made such an arrangement, but the Cheetah Army was composed of brave and combat-savvy veterans. Perhaps someone with a quick mind had thought of it in advance and ambushed there! However, he had to investigate this matter secretly first and then report to his master.
So, Chen Hu handed the note he found in the tent to Liang Jingyao and said, "This was left by Miss Lin. When she saw that the situation was not right, she and Miss Chen hid somewhere else."
Liang Jingyao glanced at the words written on the note. It was indeed Lin Xiaoyue's note, and the content was exactly the same as what Chen Hu said. "Did you see where they went?"
Chen Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I entered the tent just now, there was no one inside except this note!"
Liang Jingyao's heart was lifted again. He wondered where Lin Xiaoyue had gone to and if she was safe now.
"I understand. You quickly deal with the aftermath. I'll go look for Yue'er."
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue had already walked down from the second floor of the store. After returning to the tent, she exited the space invisibility function, untied the rope, helped the unconscious Chen Yunyun to lie down on the bed, then she tidied her clothes and hair and walked out of the tent.
"Brother Liang, stop looking, I'm here!" Lin Xiaoyue tiptoed, stretched out her arms, and waved to Liang Jingyao.
Liang Jingyao, riding on horseback, heard the sound and looked in the direction of the tent. He saw a hand waving in the air. He said happily, "It's Yue'er returning to the tent. I'll go over and take a look!"
Chen Hu was busy dealing with the aftermath, so he didn't go with them.
When Lin Xiaoyue saw Liang Jingyao riding over, she asked with concern, "Brother Liang, are you okay?"
Liang Jingyao dismounted, patted his upright figure, and said, "I'm not injured. Thanks to Chen Hu's good defense. Those few explosions just now were really satisfying!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect that Liang Jingyao would think that the homemade bomb was thrown by someone arranged by Chen Hu. This was a good thing, because then she wouldn't have to find excuses to cover it up.
She smiled and said, "Chen Hu is doing a good job as deputy captain. He is both brave and resourceful. You can give him a promotion."
Liang Jingyao thought for a moment and said, "How can I get a promotion? There's a captain above Chen Hu, and I left that captain in the northern border to protect my father. I'd better give him a little more silver!"
Lin Xiaoyue suggested, "After tonight's battle, there aren't many veteran members of the Cheetah Army left, and a lot of new recruits have probably died. We still have to continue recruiting, so ask Chen Hu. If he's willing, let him be the captain of the new recruits, mainly responsible for training them!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll ask him later."
When Lin Xiaoyue heard that Liang Jingyao had adopted her suggestion, her mood changed from sunny to cloudy, and she felt extremely happy!
She then asked, "For those Cheetah soldiers who died in battle, whether they were new recruits or veterans, we must give money to their families. It must be generous, enough for their families to have food and drink for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, who will be willing to follow us to fight in the future?"
Liang Jingyao explained: "We have a set pension for this. If you want more, that's fine. I'll listen to you anyway."
Lin Xiaoyue reminded: "It must be more than what Emperor Liang gave!"
Liang Jingyao smiled and said, "Then I'll give you double the amount, what do you think?"
Lin Xiaoyue was worried that Chen Yunyun would wake up. If she said something wrong, she would be in trouble!
She nodded and said, "Okay! It's getting late now, I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest."
Liang Jingyao pinched Lin Xiaoyue's bony fingers and said distressedly, "When I first met you, you still had some flesh on your face, but now it's so pointed. You're too thin! I'm sorry I didn't take good care of you! After daybreak, you can move back to the teahouse. It's spacious there, and you don't have to wait on the Queen Mother. I'll send someone to protect you! You can eat whatever you want in there, and sleep as long as you want. No one will disturb you!"
Lin Xiaoyue was very happy with Liang Jingyao's thoughtful suggestion. She nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then Brother Liang, please tell my father so that he won't worry!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'll make all the arrangements. Just be happy! Go back and rest. It will be dawn soon!"
Back in the tent, Lin Xiaoyue took off her shoes and prepared to go to bed, but found that Chen Yunyun had opened her eyes and was looking at her angrily!
Lin Xiaoyue asked guiltily, "Yunyun, what's wrong with you? There's a lot of commotion outside. I just went out to take a look. Liang Baihao is dead, and the cavalry he led have all been captured! Now we can get a good night's sleep. Let's go back to sleep!"
Chen Yunyun said angrily, "I don't want to hear this! I just want to know, was it you who knocked me out just now?"
