Chapter 38
"Where did all those supplies go?"
The man in red robe took a sip of water, and suddenly put the cup on the table. He still felt it was not enough, so he picked up the cup and smashed it towards the World of Truth.
The water in the cup spilled all over the floor, and the cup hit the corner of the table and shattered with a bang. The broken blue and white porcelain pieces fell to the ground, and they looked very sharp.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we don't have good tea here, only ordinary ones. But even if you want ordinary tea, you have to go to the general to find it. I don't have it here."
The World of Truth half-knelt and half-crouched, bent down, picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his clothes, and wrapped the porcelain pieces in it.
He looked respectful.
But the man in red robe just felt that something was wrong. He took a deep breath and became even angrier, because he felt as if he was making trouble for no reason.
Although he always felt that he had reasons, it looked very unreasonable, which was almost the same.
This was also one of the reasons why he was angry.
"What are you doing?"
The general was helped over. Seeing this situation, he was a little angry. His serious and angry face turned to the red robe, and the red robe stood up from the stool.
"Who is so bold to disturb your rest? It's still early, you go back and rest, I still have something to do here, I will come to see you when I finish it."
The red robe smiled flatteringly.
"I didn't rest well in the first place, and now it's bright, I don't need to rest, I still have things to do, I just heard the noise here, so I came to see what you are doing."
The general asked with a frown.
"This guy is ignorant, I'm teaching him a lesson. He
'll be fine in a while.
But since you're here, let's forget it. I won't bother with him this time. If he does it again, I'll deal with him seriously."
The red-robed man said with a grin.
"This is my subordinate, so don't bother with him. Are you here to inspect or to cause trouble?
If you're here to cause trouble, I can't give you this guy. If you're here to have fun, we don't have that.
You're so precious that you've come to our place, it's already a waste of your feet. It's better for you to go back earlier, so that everyone can live better. You can also adapt to the environment there when you go back, right?
It's very windy and sandy here.
By the way, the weather will get colder in two days. When the wind and snow start to blow, I'm afraid your body won't be able to keep warm in these clothes.
It's not that I look down on you, but if you don't go back today and tomorrow, it will be too late when the weather changes. If the road is blocked by snow and wind, it will delay the opportunity. If you are
greedy and reckless, and rush back without any progress, you may catch a cold on the way and won't get better for a while, which will delay the news to His Majesty. "
The general said.
The man in red robe was not very happy, but he snorted and walked around them. He walked out of the house of the World of Truth without looking back, and no one knew where he went.
The World of Truth gently placed the handkerchief that was rolled into a ball on the table, wiped the water stains on his hands, and looked at the general standing at the door. The general had turned around and was ready to leave.
He didn't seem to want to say anything more.
"Isn't the general here to rescue me?"
The World of Truth asked tentatively.
He even took two steps outside.
But the handkerchief on the table behind him suddenly fell apart, and the broken porcelain pieces rang twice inside, as if someone was knocking on the door again, but this time it hit his head.
The World of Truth shuddered, like an ordinary person who saw a ghost in a horror movie.
He looked like he felt cold. The general turned around and glanced at him because he heard him talking. When he noticed his look, he told him to put on more clothes, turned around and left.
"Is the general angry with me? I don't know what I did wrong."
The World of Truth ran over again and whispered.
But he didn't dare to cross the threshold, because if he walked out again, he would be too close to the general, which would be a bit offensive. He was worried that the general would be angry again because of this.
He didn't mind Red Robe getting angry.
Because Red Robe wouldn't stay here forever, Red Robe wouldn't always be with him, and he didn't need Red Robe to do anything for him or for Red Robe.
But the general was different from Red Robe. Red Robe was annoying, but the general wasn't.
The general shouldn't be angry with him. He didn't know what he did wrong.
He even felt a little wronged when he thought of this.
"You haven't done anything wrong, but I don't know why you would provoke our officials without any orders.
Don't you know that making them unhappy will have a very bad impact on us?
Don't you know that anything you do to them may come back to us doubly?
Don't you know that they don't like us, and if you make them unhappy again, they will exaggerate and say bad things about us when they go back?"
This time the general finally turned around and looked at the World of Truth. The World of Truth suddenly withdrew his hand on the door and stood up straight. He thought he was accepting the general's reprimand.
He hoped that the general would stop being angry after scolding him, but the general saw his expression and knew that he obviously didn't understand what he did wrong. He sighed and turned to leave.
The general's sigh sounded like a helpless old father who really didn't have any requirements for his youngest son at home, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only go along with his wishes.
Let him do whatever he wanted.
But the real world was not the general's real son after all.
"I know I was wrong. I apologized to him. I didn't provoke him today. He doesn't remember what happened yesterday. He doesn't like it anyway. What's the use of being angry?
Even if I didn't make him angry, he was still too much. He is not in the right, so why should he blame me? He even picked trouble with me today. I didn't argue with him.
I don't think if we keep backing down, he will have a good impression of us, and then he will go back and say good things about us to His Majesty. He is just not taking our faults now.
Did he have good intentions before?"
The World of Truth argued.
The general was helpless and sighed again, patting his arm. It was a kind of decadent concession.
"How could I not know what you said? But for everyone else's sake, we should be tolerant of them. They are not here forever. If you tolerate it this time, there may not be a next time.
I know you have been wronged in these things. If you endure it, you will be fine during this period."
The general whispered.
"Really? "
The World of Truth was skeptical and looked at the general, just like a Ronaldo looking at his master.
As long as the general said something, he would believe it.
The general could see that he was indeed very loyal.
It was because of this loyalty that he hoped that the World of Truth would not offend those people, otherwise the situation would only be more miserable than it was now, and he did not want to see such a situation.
"Really."
The general answered in a low voice, sighing again.
The World of Truth nodded.
"Then I will go to him to apologize later, general, don't be angry. "
The World of Truth tentatively pulled the general's arm.
The general did not get angry because of this. The World of Truth hugged the general's arm and rubbed it.
His face was paler than the others. He pressed his cheek against the general's arm. He looked like a ball of glutinous rice balls, which was being lifted up by someone's corner. It was soft and sweet.
The general inexplicably felt a kind of vitality from him that he had rarely seen before. He patted his shoulder and told him to let go of his arm.
"I know you mean well, you have to live."
The general said to him.
He nodded, as if he had heard it.
The general turned and left.
The World of Truth stood at the door and whispered: "If they don't want to kill me, I will definitely survive. If they want to kill me, I can also survive. Even if they kill me, I will come back. "
The deputy general passed by and heard him talking to himself. He didn't hear clearly for a while. He only heard the last sentence, "They killed me." He was a little shocked, and came over to ask what happened?
"Nothing, why are you here?"
The World of Truth waved his hand, trying to pass it off.
"I heard that something happened here, so I came to take a look. Since there is nothing wrong here, I will leave."
The deputy general nodded, and was indeed perfunctorily passed over.
"Then you should do your thing quickly, don't delay. "
The World of Truth smiled at him.
He nodded and left without any doubt.
The World of Truth was no less worried about the future than any of them.
What happened later proved that his worries were completely unfounded.
Because the Red Robe came back again, and asked him by name to go back to Kyoto to meet His Majesty.
"What on earth requires a person like him to go?
He is not one of our soldiers, and he has no position in the army. He is just a doctor, and only my doctor. Apart from treatment, I don't know anything."
The general asked anxiously.
"Of course he is needed.
Because wasn't he one of the people in charge of reception last time?
And he has been here with you for some time, how could he not know anything?
Unless you deliberately want to hide something, only he can tell you.
Then we must take him to see His Majesty.
Besides, you don't know yet, do you? This time His Majesty also wants to see him. If you dare not let him go, it would be disobeying the imperial order.
Disobeying the imperial order is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family. Who among you wants to commit such a crime? "
The man in red robe led a group of people to stand in the open space of the military camp, overlooking the group of people around him.
Although he himself is not very tall, and there are even people here who are taller than him, he is undoubtedly the most popular at this moment.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
The deputy general couldn't help it, clenched his fist and took a step forward, walked to the general, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the general.
The general: "You are impatient."
