Chapter 230 I'll bet your dad's leg
Lin Anyuan stared expressionlessly at General Wei, who was opposite him, with gray hair, wearing tattered armor, and constantly cursing.
They've been off duty for half a month now, and every three days General Wei from the other side comes to hurl insults at them, and the insults are incredibly nasty.
The same is true today.
Beyond Xiejia Pass lies the territory of Shangjing, where even generals must remove their armor before proceeding.
Lin Anyuan, mounted on his horse, suddenly shouted, "General Wei, do you dare to make a bet with me!"
General Wei across from him shouted, "Bah! I'll bet your father's leg!"
Lin Anyuan laughed immediately, "Then I'll bet my dad's leg! Anyone who doesn't bet is a coward!"
General Wei was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice, "You unfilial wretch, you're incredibly cunning! Your father was no good either, that's why he raised such an unfilial brat like you!"
Lin Anyuan turned a deaf ear to the insults directed at his father.
The suggestion is to curse him a lot, just don't curse his mother.
It's obvious that General Wei on the other side only knows how to curse.
After he had finished cursing, Lin Anyuan added, "General Wei, are you perhaps afraid of me, and that's why you don't dare to?"
"I'm your grandpa! Who do you think you are, you little brat? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Spit it out!"
Lin Anyuan spoke slowly and deliberately, "The old general and I will fight, and no one else is allowed to interfere. If the old general loses, he can come to my army camp as a guest for a day, and I will send him over after that day!"
As soon as Lin Anyuan finished speaking, a chorus of curses erupted.
"Hey! You insidious bastard, how could you resort to such a vicious scheme? General, don't agree to it!"
"This man is full of schemes and tricks, don't fall for his trap!"
General Wei looked at Lin Anyuan opposite him and asked, "What if your grandfather wins?"
Such a talented person was not in his army.
"If the old general wins, I will be at your disposal."
"Is this really true?" General Wei frowned.
That's quite tempting.
If we could bring this man over and use him, he might be able to resist King Jing's army.
King Jing suddenly shouted, "Indeed, his meaning is my meaning! Old General, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
"King Jing, you traitorous scoundrel..." General Wei was furious when he saw King Jing.
King Jing was eating a fruit. "Don't rush to scold me, let's begin."
This fruit was given to him by Lin Anyuan. He didn't know what kind of extraordinary person his wife, Ye Wan, was. The fruit must have been from last year, as it was preserved quite fresh.
"You brat, bring it on!"
Seeing Lin Anyuan rushing over, General Wei rode up to meet him.
In a single exchange, Lin Anyuan only managed to parry one move before dropping his knife and turning to flee on his horse.
"Why are you running away! Come back here!"
General Wei gave chase, intending to capture Lin Anyuan alive.
Just as he could reach out and touch Lin Anyuan, Lin Anyuan suddenly turned around and threw a handful of flour.
"you……"
General Wei was captured alive.
Lin Anyuan smiled shyly and released General Wei. "I hope the old general will keep his word and go back to explain to your subordinates."
General Wei wiped the flour off his face. "Good."
After General Wei returned, he instructed his subordinates not to act rashly while he was away.
The lieutenant advised, "General, you mustn't! This is a vicious scheme they're using. What if they detain you after you go there? What will we do then?"
"It's good that he's detained, and it's good that he's killed. It'll be good to let the world see the true face of King Jing."
A moment later, General Wei went to the other side, and King Jing stroked his chin.
"I think my true self is quite handsome, old general, what do you think?"
He had just shaved and changed his clothes.
General Wei looked at King Jing with a complicated expression, thinking that King Jing must be out of his mind.
"please."
Lin Anyuan invited the people to his tent, and then had food and tea served.
"The old general has been cursing all morning, he must be thirsty. Let him have some tea and something to eat first."
General Wei looked at the two dishes and soup on the table, along with noodles, with a somber expression.
"Afraid I'll poison it? Don't worry, General, I can eat first." Lin Anyuan said as he sat down and took a bite of each dish with his chopsticks.
General Wei snorted coldly, "Extravagant. What good can a commander like you be, who only cares about enjoying yourself?"
The dishes on the table—one meat, one vegetable, and a soup—were steaming and smelled delicious. General Wei's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment, though it wouldn't be embarrassing if it was a little late.
"Extravagant? The food is the same as that of the entire army, including myself. How is that extravagant?"
General Wei suddenly fell silent.
Sometimes he couldn't even get noodles to eat, let alone his soldiers.
He sat down and started eating, the steam making his weathered eyes a little red.
After quickly finishing their meal, Lin Anyuan led the group outside.
General Wei then realized that King Jing was not lying; all the soldiers outside, from top to bottom, ate the same food, and those who weren't full could have more.
And his soldiers... hard, dry cornbread, moldy grain...
"General, please change into a new set of armor." Lin Anyuan brought over a new set of armor.
The armor worn by General Wei was already tattered and torn.
"Trying to bribe me? You're shameless." General Wei sneered, feeling uneasy.
It's truly pathetic that a general like him had to rely on the enemy to provide him with new armor.
"I may be shameless, but I want everyone to have enough to eat, everyone to have clothes to wear, and all children to be able to go to school."
"Old general, stop being blindly loyal."
This is why they stopped and stayed at Xiejia Pass for half a month.
General Wei had spent his entire life on the battlefield, defending the border against foreign enemies. He was someone King Jing admired and did not want to see him die by his own hand.
Lin Anyuan didn't want to either.
Moreover, he had received favors from Wei's army.
Those were the days when he and his mother were fleeing. If it weren't for the Wei family army, his mother would probably be...
"I would rather die in battle than be a traitor! There's no need to try to persuade me anymore."
General Wei's expression suddenly turned cold, and his tone became resolute.
Lin Anyuan slowly spoke, "I didn't mean to persuade you much, I just want you to think about it. If you die in battle, what will happen to your wife, children, and elderly parents? What will happen to your infant grandchild? Is it really worth dying for someone who isn't worth it?"
"As expected, heroes come from all walks of life, and he's quite the smooth talker."
"I'll try to persuade you to surrender like those generals did. You'll have to give me some time to send me back."
General Wei left immediately after speaking, without lingering for even a moment.
The subordinate asked, "General Lin, if we just let him go like this, what if he changes his mind and comes back to attack us?"
He was still wearing the new armor they had given him.
"Exactly, this person is completely impervious to reason. He thinks the emperor is so much better. Following the emperor will only lead to starvation sooner or later. Nobles don't care about the lives of ants."
Lin Anyuan turned to look at them, "Even if you come back to fight us again, do you think you can't beat us?"
"What I just ate wasn't refined white rice or flour, was it shit?"
The subordinates: "..."
General Lin's mouth is as unpleasant as ever.
How can someone with such a beautiful face speak such foul language?
