The soldier was a little confused... What was going on?
Why is the King different today than usual? What do you mean you shouldn't call him King? Isn't that what you usually call him?
However, seeing that such an important person was actually going to reward him with wine, he felt a little apprehensive and thought to himself, "Since the king, no, the general said not to panic, then let's not panic."
He immediately accepted the wine handed to him by the Cui family's entourage with a smile, and then heard the "general" scold him, "Why don't you thank me?"
Then he hurriedly imitated the dog-headed military advisors in the mountain stronghold and said in a shrill voice: "Oh, thank you, my lord!"
Wang Shan was so angry that he kicked him. "What the hell are you talking about? You can't even read a single word, and you're still a student!"
Cui Zhihan also looked embarrassed and didn't know how to leave the stage.
Cui Zhihao smiled coldly, looked at Wang Shan and said, "It seems that General Wang has really gathered a lot of talented people."
Wang Shan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "This idiot knows nothing and just talks nonsense. Gentlemen, please don't take it seriously."
After saying that, he glared at the soldier with gritted teeth and said, "Hurry up and tell me what you were yelling about just now?"
The lackey rubbed his legs, but seemed a little drunk, and still pretended to be slow and said: "My Lord, no, General, there is no need to panic, it is not a big deal.
I was just learning… When I was patrolling at the foot of the mountain, I saw a group of people. I don’t know where they came from, but judging by their flags, they looked like the imperial army.”
"What?"
Before the henchman could finish his words, Cui Zhihao and Cui Zhihan were startled. Cui Zhihao accidentally knocked over the cups and plates in front of him, and the soup and wine spilled all over the table.
Someone nearby quickly stepped forward to help him wipe it.
But he didn't care about these things at the moment. He waved his hands and drove away the followers who were coming to deal with him.
Wang Shan and the others were also surprised. Seeing how frightened the two young masters were, they could not help but glare at the henchman angrily and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
The minions were a bit confused when they heard this, "This isn't the king... General, can you please stop panicking?"
"I said..."
Wang Shan was so angry that his intestines were in a knot. "I told you not to panic, can't you see the situation?"
"Okay."
Cui Zhihan, standing nearby, raised his hand to interrupt Wang Shan, who was about to continue arguing with the minion. Then, suppressing his impatience, he asked the minion, "Did you see clearly that it was government troops?"
"That's right. I recognize the flags of the government troops."
The minion said with some complacency.
Wang Shan beside him also echoed: "Yes, yes, this kid can really recognize the flag."
It felt like recognizing the flag was a great thing.
In fact, not many of his men could recognize the flags of the government troops.
Cui Zhihan glanced at him and ignored him.
Cui Zhihao couldn't help but sneer. Just now, they both thought that this team was pretty good. Everyone was brandishing swords and guns, and looked quite powerful.
Now I suddenly feel that this matter may need to be questioned.
But this is not the time to worry about it.
Cui Zhihan asked again with a dark face: "You recognize the flag very well, which group does that flag belong to?"
“…”
The little henchman scratched his head, blinked his eyes and looked at Cui Zhihan, thinking: "Is there something wrong with this noble man's brain? He said they were soldiers, why did he ask where they came from?
Could it be that the government troops are also divided into different mountain strongholds, and don’t they all have one leader?”
Suddenly he remembered something and exclaimed, "I remember now. They should be from the capital, just like the two nobles?"
Cui Zhihao and Cui Zhihan were both shocked and couldn't help asking, "Did you tell that from their flag?"
The minions were stunned when they heard this, and subconsciously asked, "How can you tell that?"
After saying this, he saw that the two nobles' faces were as black as water, and his general also looked like he was about to eat someone. He shrank his neck in fear and said quickly: "No, that, I... I just listened to their shouts..."
"Hello?"
Cui Zhihan's brothers, Wang Shan and others were all stunned when they heard this.
"Yes, they were just shouting... what were they shouting?
He shouted: Report, we found out that the two men went up the mountain and there was actually a bandit camp on the mountain.
Then a big shot among them asked in surprise: What do you mean you actually saw the two thieves from the Cui family enter the camp on the mountain?
The soldier shouted again: "Report what dead horse? We did see it, and there are a lot of bandits in the camp, probably no less than five or six thousand!"
Then the big shot was frightened and said: What a rampant bandit! I was wondering why he left the capital. It turns out that he hid so many bandits in the shade of Cuiping Mountain.
Let's return to the capital immediately to report to His Majesty, asking him to dispatch a large army to kill these bandits!"
The minions immediately became very excited and recounted the conversation between the officers and soldiers in vivid detail.
He then added, "From my humble judgment, the thieves they are talking about should be us, right?"
At this point, Brother Cui Zhihao no longer had the heart to pay attention to such nonsense.
The expressions of the two men kept changing. They had never expected that the emperor's men had discovered their whereabouts.
Seeing Cui Zhihan frowning and remaining silent, Cui Zhihao couldn't help but anxiously said, "Brother, quickly send someone to chase them. We must not let those people report what happened here back to the capital!"
"I think so too."
The Bai County Magistrate also nodded in agreement.
Cui Zhihan nodded, but couldn't help frowning and said, "Of course I have to pursue her, but I always feel that something is wrong.
Since you are reporting back to the Emperor, you should be as secretive as possible, so why are you making such a big fuss?"
