Chapter 615: That old guy really broke three of his teeth
The speaker lowered his head even lower, and said with barely concealed nervousness, "It is said that General Zuo's words were humiliating to Captain Xu's late father, and he even mentioned the Battle of Hongbei."
Battle of Hongbei.
After a battle so brutal that it changed the course of events, Marquis Jiaxing died on the battlefield, but was branded as a traitor.
The crime implicated the entire Xu family. From then on, there was no longer a Jiaxing Marquisate in the capital, but there was a new Xu family in the northwest that started out by burning charcoal.
Mr. Xue, who knew the inside story, changed his expression instantly.
There was also an indelible frost in Jiang Yubai's eyes.
The deceased Marquis of Jiaxing was Xu Yu's father.
The deceased Marquis of Jiaxing also showed great kindness to the King of Lingnan.
Even if he didn't remember the kindness of saving him in the past crisis, Zuo Cheng shouldn't humiliate the deceased.
Even if the drunkenness in the army had not subsided, Zuo Cheng's beating would have been in vain.
Mr. Xue knew something about the past interactions between the old prince and the Marquis of Jiaxing. He wanted to say a few words to help Zuo Cheng, but after hesitating for a while, he fell silent.
Zuo Cheng is going too far.
In the silence, Jiang Yubai flicked his fingertips and said lightly, "We've already fought, so there's nothing more to say."
"Pass the order down. I will be at the camp in two hours to discuss matters. All those above the rank of captain who are still breathing must be present."
Isn’t Zuo Cheng good at fighting?
Then he would find a good place for Zuo Cheng to do his work.
I just hope that this unrivaled General Zuo can remain as majestic as before.
When Jiang Yubai and his group rushed to the military camp, the camp was also in turmoil.
The commotion last night was really huge.
It’s not that the battle between the two was fierce, but that Zuo Cheng was beaten too badly.
Zuo Cheng was not necessarily proficient in martial arts in his early years, but he was able to reach where he is today thanks to his loyalty to the old prince and his appreciation from the old prince.
After years of living in luxury, her belly was as round as a woman who was five or six months pregnant. Her martial arts skills, which were already poor, became even worse. She had honed her verbal skills, but when it came to fighting...
Ten Zuo Chengs are not enough to beat Xu Yu to the ground.
Rongchang's face was full of resentment: "If General Shi and the others hadn't rushed over to stop them, I really doubt someone would have been beaten to death."
Lu Xin sniffed and felt a little worried: "Yes, the captain was too cruel."
"It's just that...if someone cursed my father, I probably wouldn't be able to stand it."
They were not country bumpkins who had never left Lingnan. They knew that there was an imperial capital called Kyoto, but they had no idea how powerful the Xu family was in Kyoto, nor did they know where Xu Yu came from.
But I can't let people curse my dead father.
Rongchang also gritted his teeth and said, "Beat that old fellow till his teeth are all over the floor."
"Oh, don't say anything."
A small black man, as skinny as a monkey, covered his mouth and said, "That old fellow really got three big teeth broken by the beating."
"I went to the tent over there this morning pretending to look for something, and I heard so much scolding that I couldn't even speak clearly."
Rongchang and Lu Xin were both speechless. They looked at each other for a moment and said sadly, "But now that it has become like this, how should we end it?"
"If the young prince were to investigate, would he convict our captain?"
Compared with Zuo Cheng, Xu Yu was just a mere captain.
Even if it is Commander Xu who takes the position, it still depends on the wishes of the superiors.
Rongchang said this with some anger: "In the past few months, our captain has been troubled by many people, both openly and secretly. They are all from that old bastard's side. They are trying to make things difficult for us."
"Our captain has endured for so long, why is there no one to seek justice?"
If Xu Yu had not been alert, he would have lost his life several times for no apparent reason.
In the past, when Xu Yu was feeling aggrieved, he never told anyone about it, except for a few people who secretly helped him and gave him some subtle advice.
Just ignore the rest. Now Zuo Cheng just got beaten up for what he asked for, so why does he have to blame Xu Yu?
Rongchang and others were gnashing their teeth in indignation. When they saw Xu Yu coming out of a tent not far away, they hurriedly chased after him.
"Captain!"
"Captain, are you okay?"
When Xu Yu saw several people running towards him like puppies, he vaguely thought he saw Xu Mingyang's group of guys.
Xu Yu's eyes flickered, and his expression remained normal: "Why are you all gathered here? I'm fine."
Lu Xin glanced at the tent not far away with a worried look in his eyes and whispered, "Is the baldy doing you any harm?"
Zuo Cheng was named the Left General, and another person of the same status was privately nicknamed the Baldy. He was a secular man with no hair on his head but who ate meat with a big mouthful. He was the Right General.
The left general was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed and his speech was leaking. The responsibility of punishing Xu Yu's reckless mistake fell on the right general.
only……
Xu Yu pursed his lips with an unclear expression. He felt complicated when he thought about himself standing in the tent, watching the right general, who was said to be cold-faced, unkind and cruel, gnawing on a chicken carcass for half an hour.
It is probably hard to believe that the right general was holding a plate full of chicken bones and ate them till they were smooth and slick. There was really no trace of meat. Even a dog would not be willing to lick the chicken bones he spit out.
But he only said three sentences to Xu Yu.
The first sentence: "Did you beat Zuo Cheng?"
Xu Yu said, "Yes."
Second sentence: "Do you know that Zuo Cheng has a higher military rank than you, and more seniority?"
Xu Yu said, "I know."
"I thought the camp only looked at strength, not seniority."
The Right General took another bite of the chicken rack, half laughing. "I'll give you another chance to choose. Will you still attack Zuo Cheng?"
Xu Yu answered very straightforwardly: "Yes."
To be honest, he actually showed mercy.
After all, if Zuo Cheng was killed in one go, it would be difficult for Jiang Yubai to calm down.
Otherwise...
Xu Yu lowered his eyes and stood quietly without saying a word, as if he was waiting for the right general to deal with him, but also as if he did not take the possible military punishment that might befall him seriously at all.
Xu Yu didn't say anything.
The right general was concentrating on eating the chicken rack.
When the large plate of chicken bones was finally cleaned up, the right general waved his hand and said, "Get out of here."
Xu Yu followed suit and left.
But this scene is too funny. Telling it to others will only make people laugh at you and ask if you are crazy. It will do no good.
Xu Yu was too lazy to mention it, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, everyone can go."
Rongchang and his friends were still worried and kept chasing Xu Yu to ask him questions.
In the tent that Xu Yu had just walked out of, the bald man retracted his fingers that had hooked up the curtain, and sniffed the remaining aroma of chicken bones with his nose with lingering interest, then turned his head to look at a man coming out from behind the partition in the tent.
"What do you think?"
"Compared to that, I still prefer to look at good-looking things."
The man who was glanced at by the bald man looked weak and scholarly, with a subtle expression on his handsome face: "Zuo Cheng's old face is full of flesh, fierce and cowardly, a bear and a fool, he is not worthy of your attention."
"Now Green Face Fang has lost three of his teeth, and his speech is slurred. I imagine his appearance is even more ferocious."
"Don't look at it, don't look at it. That thing is really unbearable to look at."
The bald man snorted, "Scholar, what do you think of this prince?"
The scholar smiled lightly and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I think that even the best skin should be matched with strong bones, and then shocked by thunderous means, otherwise it will be just an embroidered pillow."
"But this gentleman probably has nothing to do with embroidered pillows."
If he were really an empty talker, not only would he be unable to tame the troublesome soldiers under his command, he would have also lost his life in Zuo Cheng's continuous sinister schemes.
But Xu Yu is still standing well now.
The man who was beaten beyond recognition was Zuo Cheng, who was much more powerful than him at present.
This already proves a lot.
The scholar was very disdainful of the bald man's behavior of chattering for a long time. He said with a tut-tut, "Whether he is a tiger or a kitten, we will know it naturally when we get out of this grass nest. Didn't you secretly warn Xu Yu a long time ago? I thought you had already taken notice of him."
"In a place like this, you can't survive if you're being watched."
The bald man grabbed a clean chicken bone and smashed it at the scholar's feet, baring his teeth and saying, "Let's see your true ability."
"But you're right, Xu Yu does look much more pleasing to the eye than Zuo Cheng, so I'm looking forward to the day when I can see what he can do."
The scholar smiled leisurely: "In other words, Xu Yu is indeed more worthy of standing at the front of the battle than Zuo Cheng."
"That little face is so handsome that it looks like it was drawn. If we had more cold-faced jade gentlemen in silver armor standing in front of the formation, our team would look much more handsome."
If it were Zuo Cheng's old face...
The scholar shook his head quickly. He didn't want to watch it and couldn't watch it at all.
The bald man snorted and lazily leaned on his chair without moving. Just when he was about to go see Zuo Cheng's green face and fangs to digest his food, someone came and announced, "The young prince has arrived."
"Call all the generals for an urgent meeting."
"General, please go quickly."
