Complaints may be complaints, but people still need to be saved. After all, they don’t want to die.
Suddenly, the left protector jumped out to act as a middleman and put his arm around Meng Kuo's shoulders.
He winked at the right protector, signaling him to put down Meng Kuo's knife.
Then he patted Meng Kuo's chest to calm him down and said, "General Meng, calm down.
If you get angry with that selfish bastard Ouyang Jing, aren't you just making things difficult for yourself?
Besides, it was Empress Dowager Xiao who sent you here!
If you kill him now, you will have a hard time explaining yourself when you go back.
In my opinion, evildoers will be punished by evildoers.
Just take him back and let them fight each other!
Let me tell you a secret. Ouyang Jing's grandson is rich and his piggy bank is full.
I suggest you drain him dry before killing him, so that we brothers can buy more time to detoxify."
Sure enough, when he heard the word money, Meng Kuo's expression relaxed a little.
There's nothing we can do, who told him to be poor!
He doesn't think of himself as a veteran, but it is said that a new emperor appoints new ministers, and that is absolutely true. He is not even as well off as Yelu Qi!
The weapons and equipment were picked up from other people's discarded items, or were given to him as the ones that other people had left over and didn't want.
Forget about military pay, as it has been in arrears for years. Everyone would be lucky if they could get last year's money this year.
If it weren't for Ouyang Jing, that troublemaker, who started the war this time, he would have almost forgotten what money looked like.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I should thank Ouyang Jing's grandson.
However, the thought of countless soldiers being killed and injured and countless civilians being displaced made me feel uneasy.
It was simply a huge sin, but Meng Kuo still wanted to kill Ouyang Jing, the source of this evil, with a single shot and put an end to it once and for all.
When the left protector saw that Meng Kuo's expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again, his eyes whizzed towards Ouyang Jing like knives, as if he wanted to kill him with just a glance.
He thought about what someone had said to Meng Kuo before, and there was nothing he didn't understand.
He quietly approached Meng Kuo and said, "Just look at his face, you can tell at first glance that he is a short-lived ghost.
The battle hasn't even started yet, and he's already almost wiped out all his soldiers.
It is still unknown whether the fight will break out in the end or not!
My suggestion to you is to get the money first, that's the most practical thing to do.
After all, no one would complain about having too much money. The more the better. The more the better. After all, it won’t bite your hand if you have too much.”
Meng Kuo was persuaded by the Left Protector again and put down the spear he had just raised.
When the Left Protector saw that the medicine was effective, he decided to give another strong dose of medicine.
He didn't believe that he couldn't defeat a stubborn old man with his eloquence.
He took a step closer to Meng Kuo and whispered, "General Meng, we all live on the edge of a knife, and the sword has no eyes.
Let me say something unpleasant. If we often walk by the river, it is inevitable that our shoes will get wet.
Of course, you can say that we are all so old and have lived enough.
But what about your son, grandson, wife, children and the whole family?
Think about it again, which military general in all dynasties had a good ending?
You have to prepare in advance!"
This hits the nail on the head. Family is Meng Kuo's lifeblood and also his weakness.
Meng Kuo cleared his throat unnaturally, leaned close to the left protector's ear and said, "But it is said that spilled water cannot be reversed. I just stirred up everyone's emotions, and now you are turning against me and changing your words. Isn't this too abrupt?
From now on, I will see everyone around me all the time. How embarrassing!
Do you still want my old face?"
At this time, the right protector also came over and cooperated with the left protector.
He also learned Ouyang Jing's tricks and asked Meng Kuo, "What's the importance of face? How much is it per pound?
Haven’t you heard the saying that face is like a stinky shoe insole, the most useless thing in the world?
The real money that you can get is the most real thing.
In this world, strangers will cheat you, your relatives will cheat you, but money will not cheat you.
If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, just like the lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious.
If you don't have money when you are alive, your family will look down on you when you are old and hope you die soon.
But if you have money, let alone you are alive, even if you die, they will remember your kindness for the sake of your money.
I can't forget you during every festival, and I will spend money to prepare a big portion for you.
Even when eating, they have to burn incense for you first and reserve a set of bowls and chopsticks for you."
This time it really worked, and Meng Kuo confirmed it again and again with the guardians on his left and right.
"Ouyang Jing's grandson really has a secret stash of money. Are you two kidding me?"
The left and right guardians said with certainty and assurance: "It's true. There is no need for us to lie to you about this."
Now Meng was satisfied, and the corners of his mouth began to slightly curl up.
But suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked the guards on his left and right. "It's useless for him to have money, because he is now controlled by Huo Jingxuan's people.
I guess that money will eventually go to that guy named Huo and end up in his pocket.
Wouldn't that make me a fool for others? "
The guards on both sides shook their heads quickly, "No! No!"
Pointing to the huge crowd of soldiers behind Meng Kuo, he said, "You have so many soldiers under your command, and you are an experienced general.
Together, they form a powerful alliance. Are you still afraid of a young man like Huo Jingxuan who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"
This trick of flattery is more effective, and the two protectors on the left and right almost fooled Meng Kuo.
Meng Kuo pretended to look up at the sky, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead.
"Alas! I am old now, and my brain is not working well anymore. The Queen Mother is still waiting for me to bring Ouyang Jing back to report!
It's been so long since he came out, and everyone should be worried."
Then he kicked Ouyang Jing, who was lying on the ground, hard, and said, "You are lucky. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's order, I would have taken you back no matter what. Otherwise, today would be the day you die."
Just when Mengkudu had turned the page, she began to fantasize about him making a mountain of gold for her family.
Suddenly, the guard who had gone crazy before jumped out again, pointed at Meng Kuo's nose and started cursing.
"It turns out that you are a group of wolves and snakes in the same nest.
What you just said was very passionate, about the sacrifice of countless innocent lives and the displacement of people and their homes.
It's not even time to fart, and you've already forgotten?
Are you crazy? If you are old, get out of here and go home to hug your children.
Please don't occupy the good people's land but not do the good things. It makes me feel sick just listening to it."
Meng Kuo's face turned black instantly and he fired a shot directly.
He threatened, "Open your dog eyes and see who I am. I am not a soft persimmon like Ouyang Jing who can be bullied by anyone."
