Wang Shouyi grabbed Gu Wei's sleeve and said, "We are all comrades, why are you leaving right after you arrived? Come in and have a seat. We in Changshou Military Station have nothing but hospitality."
Gu Wei thought that Xie Ling needed raw salt to refine salt, so he thought for a moment and followed Wang Shouyi in.
Xie Ling and the others followed behind.
As for the soldiers brought by Wu Daqiang, Wang Shouyi called a captain to receive them and placed them in the military camp of Changshou Military Village.
Gu Weigang and Wang Shouyi took two steps and then stepped back to Xie Ling's side, with a hint of apology in their eyes. "I still prefer to walk with my wife. General Wang, please forgive me."
Wang Shouyi hid the contempt in his eyes, thinking that a man would value a woman so much, and it seemed that she was just an embroidered pillow. He smiled and said, "The county magistrate and his wife are so loving, and others are envious."
After walking a few steps, a large punishment platform appeared in front of us.
Three soldiers on the stage were lying on a bench and being beaten with boards. Their bodies were covered in blood. Many soldiers were watching below the stage.
Wang Shouyi hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly so as not to scare you."
But he didn't get what he wanted. A tall and strong soldier ran over and said, "General, the three soldiers who escaped to play a while ago have been punished. Should we throw them out or throw them into the prisoner pile?"
Wang Shouyi sighed, "Can't you see I'm entertaining guests? Throw away those tactless people. I'm the commander of the Changshou Army. These soldiers and prisoners must know my orders!"
Xie Ling took a quick look and immediately recognized the three soldiers lying there. They were the same three soldiers they had run into when they first came to Lingnan.
She sneered in her heart, thinking that Wang Shouyi was really an old fox.
Do you think they will believe it if you deal with it in front of them?
Wang Shouyi naturally knew that Gu Wei and the others might not believe it, but he just needed a statement.
After walking a few steps, I heard the prisoners shouting from afar.
Everyone looked into the distance and saw centurions standing by with long whips in their hands, scolding the prisoners who were carrying mud and sand. If they disagreed with something, they would whip them and the prisoners would scream one after another.
Autumn is coming soon, and the prisoners' task now is to move mud and sand to reinforce the city.
Some of these prisoners were exiled, while others were from Lingnan.
If Gu Wei and his men were successfully exiled to Lingnan, they would probably be sent here to work as coolies.
The people from the Feng and Si families had been led by several leaders to where the prisoners were located. They were immediately given tasks to do and were not allowed to rest for a moment, waiting only to be executed in the autumn of next year.
The two families have caused so much trouble over the years, and they probably have a lot of enemies inside. It will definitely not be easy to go in.
Wang Shouyi took Gu Wei and the others to the small pavilion outside his tent, and placed a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine on them. He said with some guilt, "In order to support so many soldiers, we in Changshou Military Village really don't have the money. We are sorry to have to bear with it for a while."
He is really stingy.
There were so many people, but only so little food, not even enough to fill the gaps between our stomachs.
Gu Wei and the others wisely did not eat, mainly because they had no appetite to eat here.
Xie Ling looked at the hygiene of Changshou Military Village and felt sick.
The military settlement was populated only by men, who had no concept of hygiene. Although there were toilets, they still had to urinate on the spot.
The weather was hot, and the whole military settlement was filled with the smell of urine under the sun. Add to that the smell of fermented feces in the toilets and the soldiers' stinky sweat, and it was almost hard to breathe.
Xie Ling held her breath, thinking that she would tidy up the military camp in Sinan County when she returned.
The military camp in Sinan County is slightly better than the Changshou military camp, but not much better. There is still a strange smell if you smell it carefully.
Infrastructure! Infrastructure is a must!
Wang Shouyi had been bragging, and Zhang Rongchang's face was full of pride. He raised a glass of wine and nodded to the north, "You all should know General Gu Wei, right?"
Gu Wei raised an eyebrow, "I know, what's wrong?"
Xie Ling and the others suddenly all looked at him, quietly waiting for his next words.
Seeing so many people looking at him with burning eyes, Wang Shouyi smiled and said shamelessly: "I used to be a soldier in Mobei. When winter comes in Mobei, it is so cold that people's bones ache. The snow falls so heavily that you can't walk on the road. Our training was so tiring at that time. We had to run around the mountains all the time. It's not as easy as the soldiers now. Why are they still complaining about being tired?
You all know the brilliant General Gu Wei, right? To be honest, I used to be his deputy general! In order to protect us, the general dismissed us, his confidants, in advance. I didn’t expect that after a few years, he would... "
When Wang Shouyi said this, he lowered his eyes symbolically, looking very sad.
Gu Wei held his mouth tightly to hold back his laughter and asked, "Oh... I also admire General Gu Wei. Do you still remember what he looks like?"
Wang Shouyi looked Gu Wei up and down and said calmly, "General Gu Wei is a rare talent among men, so he is naturally tall and mighty, unlike a weak and frail young man like you."
Gu Wei nodded: "Indeed, indeed."
The soldiers standing behind Wang Shouyi all looked at him with admiration. They guessed that he often used this to brag about it.
Xu Xingzhi, Xie Ling, and Gao Cunyi were okay. They managed to hold back their laughter and listened calmly to Wang Shouyi bragging about his and Gu Wei's experiences in fighting in many battles, such as how he blocked the sword for Gu Wei on the battlefield, how he fought against thousands of enemies alone, and how Gu Wei and he were sworn brothers.
Wu Daqiang couldn't hold it in any longer, so he ran away and laughed wildly over there.
Gao Cunyi quickly covered up and said, "People have three urgent matters. Deputy General Wu may have something urgent to do."
