Chapter 616 If there is any mistake, I will bring my head to you
In the military tent where Jiang Yubai was, generals of all ranks gathered.
Zuo Cheng was carried in.
There was quite a commotion last night, but in the chaos few people really saw Zuo Cheng's miserable condition.
Today the sky was bright and the sunlight coming in from outside was bright and dazzling, almost clearly illuminating the hideous distortion on Zuo Cheng's old face. His nose was bruised, his face was smashed, and his lips were swollen and turned outward. It was so miserable that it was unbearable to look at it at first sight.
When the scholar heard Zuo Cheng's unbearable groaning and the sound as if he was about to collapse and go to hell in the next second, a look of amusement flashed in his eyes.
Is Zuo Cheng’s injury really that serious?
How come he heard that Xu Yu was very careful when he attacked, and most of the injuries were superficial?
The personal soldier who carried Zuo Cheng in first glared at Xu Yu fiercely as if he wanted to tear his flesh and blood apart. As Xu Yu remained calm, he strode forward and apologized for Zuo Cheng who was lying there unable to get up.
Jiang Yubai let out a half-smile, looking surprised: "Xu Yu, what happened to General Zuo's leg?"
Xu Yu glanced at her and said calmly, "Maybe you twisted your body while sleeping."
The guards were furious: "You..."
"Just twisted?"
Jiang Yubai made a subtle "tsk" sound and said slowly, "How come it's twisted so badly that you can't even stand up?"
Xu Yu, adhering to the principle of "no one should be angry to death" said: "Maybe he is old."
"I've heard people say that older people not only have a muddled mind and tend to talk nonsense, but their bones are also weak, and accidents are common if they're not careful."
When Xu Yu said this, not only did he expose Zuo Cheng's sinister intention of pretending to be seriously injured, but the irony in his words was so strong that Jiang Yubai almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
The bald man and the scholar looked at each other, curled their lips and said nothing.
Mr. Xue couldn't bear to see Zuo Cheng embarrassed, so he coughed and said, "If it's nothing serious, then it's not a good look."
"General Zuo, you..."
"That's all."
Jiang Yubai waved his hand indifferently: "General Zuo has to show some respect in front of my father, so there's no need to follow so many rules with me."
"Just lie down, it's okay."
Zuo Cheng was like a fool whose mind was blinded by greed. He didn't care about the flattery that fell on him, and was still brooding over what Xu Yu had just said about him being old, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
Mr. Xue frowned when he saw this. He paid a quick look inside the tent and found that the atmosphere today seemed different from the past.
The bald scholar and others, who had always been at odds with Zuo Cheng, smiled but said nothing.
Those who had close contact with Zuo Cheng also showed some water in their expressions of solidarity against the enemy.
Only a few people promoted by Zuo Cheng showed dissatisfaction in their eyes and eyebrows, as if they were very dissatisfied with Jiang Yubai for not following Zuo Cheng's wishes to punish Xu Yu.
Mr. Xue thought about the news he had received before, and when he looked at Zuo Cheng again, he couldn't help feeling sad.
Although it is not clear how Xu Yu did it, he seemed to have established his foothold in a very short period of time.
If Zuo Cheng remains unclear-minded and always wants to use his seniority to cause trouble, the young prince will probably not tolerate him.
The guillotine was already on his neck, but Zuo Cheng was completely unaware of it.
When Jiang Yubai ordered Zuo Cheng to secretly lead 8,000 troops out of Lingnan in batches and secretly head for Yongzhou in three days, Zuo Cheng still stiffened his neck and groaned, "Young Prince, my injuries are serious. I'm afraid I won't recover in three days."
Jiang Yubai smiled: "Oh?"
"Is it really impossible to recover in three days?"
Zuo Cheng sneered, "The military doctor said I have serious internal injuries and shouldn't move too much. I'm afraid I can't go to Yongzhou."
"presumptuous!"
The scholar's eyes glared, and amidst Zuo Cheng's retort, he said in a deep voice, "The military order has been issued. Even if there is only one breath left, we must obey it."
"General Zuo, are you taking the saying 'military orders are as heavy as a mountain' lightly?! How can you disobey the young prince's orders whenever you want?!"
"I just can't go, what can you do to me?!"
Zuo Chengyi, feeling weak from the time he'd been in the tent, slammed the stretcher beneath him and said angrily, "I'm the dignified General Zuo in the army, and yet I've been injured like this by a daring captain. Not only did the young prince refuse to seek justice for me, but he also forced me to march injured. Is he trying to take my life on Captain Xu's behalf?"
"Zuo Cheng, you..."
"What's wrong with me?"
Zuo Cheng glared at Xu Yu with a livid face, his words uttered with the urge to devour his flesh and blood: "Xu Yu's head must be brought to the ground to pay his respects. I'm afraid this injury will never heal!"
"When my injuries are better, I want to go to the prince and ask him a few questions. Is it not time to start killing the donkey pulling the millstone before the great cause is accomplished?"
"You bastard!"
Mr. Xue couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "How dare you mention the prince!"
"The military ban was set by the prince himself. Drinking alcohol in the barracks is a serious taboo. You have been in the army for many years and yet you broke the law knowing it. Do you think that if this matter gets to the prince's ears, your crime will be reduced?!"
"Captain Xu stopped you drunkenly last night, preventing you from committing a greater crime. Not only do you not feel grateful, but you even dare to betray the young prince's kindness of not pursuing the matter. Zuo Cheng, you are so bold that you can no longer care about your master?!"
Xu Yu beat Zuo Cheng to death directly, which was indeed a bit reckless.
But what's wrong with being reckless?
They are reckless in a reasonable way!
Not to mention the dirty words Zuo Cheng said to Xu Yu after he was drunk, which was a taboo for the old prince and the young prince.
Just for the fact that Zuo Cheng was drunk in the camp, the young prince could chop off his head!
When did this person become so reckless?
Mr. Xue was unable to untie the knot and wanted to scold Zuo Cheng so hard that he had to surrender. However, Zuo Cheng was completely upset because his dignity had been challenged and he had lost face.
Zuo Cheng didn't show any trace of guilt on his face, and he even dared to shout at Mr. Xue: "What does this have to do with you?"
"I am the one chosen by the prince. Life and death and sins should be decided by the prince. No one else has the right to criticize me!"
"What's a yellow-haired kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"
"When I followed the prince through thick and thin and made great contributions, these guys were still sucking milk from women's bellies! Who dares to convict me?"
This is really outrageous.
The expressions of the people in the tent changed one after another, but the subtle expression in Jiang Yubai's eyes gradually deepened.
Jiang Yubai said lightly, "General Zuo, are you sure you won't be able to follow military orders in three days?"
Zuo Cheng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Yes!"
“I can’t go!”
"OK."
Jiang Yubai casually pointed at Xu Yu, lowered his eyes and said, "Captain Xu, step out."
Xu Yu took a step forward, and Jiang Yubai said with a smile: "Since it was you who injured General Zuo and made him unable to leave the house, then the things that he should have done have to be done by you."
"Three days later, we will gather 8,000 soldiers and march from Wangcheng through Dingyang County into Yongzhou."
"I will send you a secret order about what to do after arriving in Yongzhou, but the requirement is that everything must be done perfectly without any mistakes. Is that possible?"
Xu Yu is now only a captain, and has only a hundred or so soldiers under his command.
Jiang Yubai raised his hand and pointed at eight thousand.
With so many troops, the military power is not something a mere captain should have.
The glances that fell on Xu Yu were either scrutinizing or surprised, but Xu Yu remained calm and said, "I can do it."
"very good."
Jiang Yubai said with satisfaction: "Then go and order the person you want."
"Remember, if you make even the slightest mistake in this matter, you will be beheaded."
