Chapter 65 A fire set the casino on fire
"If I hadn't brought my sister to the casino, could you have been saved by my sister?"
Qiao Beichen was particularly unconvinced.
He clearly played a big role in this matter.
Lou Zhouxing ignored Qiao Beichen.
But he didn't confront him tit for tat.
The two helped Qiao Chushan deal with the affairs of the casino.
The gamblers who had fainted in the room and the owner of the house, Chen Zhuang, were carried outside. As for the thugs, none of them were left alive.
Walking out of the casino, Qiao Beichen looked at the sign of Changsheng Casino with a complicated look.
Liu Wenxian, who was captured by the guards on the side, had a pale face.
When he saw Qiao Beichen coming out, he hurriedly spoke.
"Beichen, I was bewildered for a moment. I know I was wrong. Please let me go!"
Qiao Beichen turned around and looked at Liu Wenxian calmly without saying a word. But that look was particularly complicated.
He really regarded Liu Wenxian as his best friend.
He knew that Liu Wenxian's family was not well off, so he often helped their family secretly on weekdays.
His mother's job as a laundry worker and his father's job as a furniture maker were all recommended by him to his friends.
Liu Wenxian was not mentioned at that time.
He knew that Liu Wenxian had a strong self-esteem and did not like others to sympathize with him.
But today, Liu Wenxian's betrayal was like a steel knife inserted into his heart, splitting his flesh and blood, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Qiao Chushan saw his son standing there in a daze, and thought that he was still thinking about the casino, so he was about to go over and beat him up.
Qiao Niannian grabbed Qiao Chushan's arm.
"Dad, let the third brother be alone for a while!"
[For the past two years, he has been played around like a fool, and the third brother must be feeling very complicated now.]
Qiao Beichen took the torch directly from the guard's hand, then walked to the casino and lit the casino sign.
He decided that from today on, he would study hard and never gamble with others again.
Liu Wenxian's eyes widened.
Qiao Beichen was crazy.
This was the third prince's casino, and he actually dared to destroy the third prince's casino. He was simply courting his life.
Qiao Chushan was quite satisfied to see that his son had set fire to the casino.
He felt sorry for his daughter following Qiao Beichen for half the night, so he left some guards for Qiao Beichen and prepared to take them back.
As for the gamblers, they were woken up and sent back by themselves. Chen Zhuangzhu and Liu Wenxian were sent to the Ministry of Justice for processing.
Lou Zhouxing was sent back by Qiao Chushan himself.
Qiao Beichen stood at the door of the casino, watching the casino being burned clean, and then turned and left. Qiao
Niannian went to bed as soon as she got home, and the maid didn't come to disturb her the next day.
At this moment, at the border.
General Huo was the commander-in-chief of this attack on Manyi. He has been guarding the border for many years and knows Manyi's characteristics best.
Under normal circumstances, it would be no problem for General Huo to suppress the barbarians.
Although he had an army of 100,000 and the barbarians also had an army of 100,000, General Huo was always one step ahead and often made the barbarians flee in panic.
Later, the barbarians saw how powerful General Huo was and never dared to attack easily again.
This time, the barbarians didn't know what conditions they used to persuade Western Chu.
Western Chu borrowed 200,000 troops to attack the Great Xia Dynasty.
General Huo was caught off guard by the sudden alliance between the barbarians and Western Chu, so he immediately sent an urgent message of 8,000 li, asking the emperor to support him.
The Great Xia Dynasty sent 200,000 troops, led by Qiao Chuanbai, to the border.
When they arrived at the border, Qiao Chuanbai handed over the command to his grandfather.
Under the command of General Huo, Qiao Chuanbai took the lead and fought eight battles in a row, forcing the barbarians to retreat seventy miles.
Originally, Qiao Chuanbai, at a young age, was on par with several generals who had made many military achievements, and the soldiers in the army were not convinced.
But as he continued to make military achievements and was invincible on the battlefield, even several generals who had been fighting against the barbarians for many years admired him, and the soldiers also followed suit.
Although this young general is young, he is brave and invincible in battle.
Now the barbarians occasionally come to clamor, and when Qiao Chuanbai leads his men out to fight, the people on the opposite side see Qiao Chuanbai and immediately lead their men back.
This is so frightening.
Two or three times in a row, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty could not help but taunt the barbarians when they saw them.
But just half a month ago, the barbarians who did not dare to come up to fight, went around to the rear and successfully robbed their 300,000-man army of two months' food and grass.
This was more humiliating for the Great Xia Dynasty than losing a battle.
When two armies fight, food and supplies are necessities to win.
Food plays a decisive role in a war.
Only when there is enough food can the soldiers go to the battlefield to kill the enemy without worries.
Just ask, where is the morale of an army that is hungry and has to worry about whether it can eat after winning a battle?
In a war, how can the soldiers win if they have no morale?
General Huo was also a little worried, so he called Qiao Chuanbai to the camp account.
Qiao Chuanbai walked into the camp account and saluted respectfully to General Huo.
"Captain."
At the age of only 19, Qiao Chuanbai already looked tall and majestic, and walked with vigor. He had the temperament of a military general and the air of a scholar.
This was also the reason why everyone was dissatisfied with Qiao Chuanbai at first. After all, he was born too good-looking, and it was obvious that he was useless.
As a result, he went to the battlefield, his gun skills were agile and automatic, and every move was clean and neat. He could kill a person with one gun while on horseback.
Now, no one dared to underestimate this young general anymore.
General Huo looked at his grandson with satisfaction, then waved.
"Come here."
Qiao Chuanbai walked forward. In front of General Huo was a topographic map.
There was a red dot on it, which was the place where the barbarians robbed food last time.
It was strange.
The food was behind their army, and the route was planned early. If the barbarians dared to come and rob the food, there was a high probability that the whole army would be wiped out.
But the barbarians still came, not only robbing the food, but also killing all the escorting soldiers.
This was obviously planned in advance.
But how could the barbarians know the route they escorted the food?
Only a few generals in the army knew this route.
General Huo sent people to investigate, and could only attribute the incident to an accident. The barbarians were lucky. They happened to run into a team escorting grain while they were burning and killing.
Qiao Chuanbai looked at the topographic map and spoke softly.
"Captain, don't worry too much. I just received a letter from my father. My father said that my uncle will personally escort the grain this time. He will arrive by water soon."
This grain was a concern for General Huo. Now that he heard that the grain was coming soon, General Huo's face finally eased a lot.
With food, there is no need to worry too much even if the barbarians invade.
After saying this, General Huo felt something was wrong.
"Didn't Qiao Chufeng go back to escort the grain and fodder this time? How come it's your uncle who's delivering the grain and fodder now?"
