Chapter 1777 Ugly Postscript 2
Qiao Ding got rid of the burden here, but it still hurts his head.
On the other hand, the Northern Border Army was laughing and joking.
Deputy General Xiong has recently recruited a fierce general, and he brags about it when he meets everyone. He also likes to put his arms around the shoulders of the young recruits and tell them: "No, I am still a child, and I am proficient in swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. That's all, haha, don't praise him, children don't praise him, they have to practice for two more years, no, no, what kind of successor, my old bear just sees the young man's hard work, appreciates him, why, don't believe it, come on, kid, Show a few lieutenants a set of Crouching Tiger Fist!"
Lieutenant General Xiong felt that he had picked up a treasure. He talked and boasted every day, which annoyed the other lieutenants. They all went to the Marshal to complain.
After discussing the latest offensive strategy with his subordinates, Gu Chao suddenly received complaints from several cronies, and the complaint was still the same person, Lieutenant General Xiong.
Gu Chao put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and asked several lieutenants to go out to prepare for the next battle, while he summoned lieutenant Xiong to come in.
"What have you done recently?" Gu Chao asked straight to the point.
Vice-General Xiong had just fought with Rong Ye in the playground outside, demonstrating long fists for the little soldiers, and now he was sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and was suddenly called out by the marshal for questioning, Vice-General Xiong didn't understand, and asked in confusion: "What? ?”
Gu Chao recounted the complaints of several lieutenants.
Lieutenant Xiong gritted his teeth angrily: "They are jealous."
Gu Chao raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Lieutenant General Xiong: "They are just jealous that I have recruited a good soldier like Rong, Marshal, when Rong was at the garrison before, I saw his potential. That time we blocked the barbarian army on the west side of the Changhe fork. Qian Jingbing, didn’t the people I brought join forces with Liang Qianwei from the Second Battalion of the Garrison? Rong Xiaozi was under Liang Qianwei’s command at the time. A sneak attack plotted against us, and the rain of arrows hit us unexpectedly. Many soldiers were injured. Even Liang Qianwei was almost assassinated. At the critical moment, it was this kid Rong who saved Liang Qianwei. I was able to catch the arrow with bare hands, and hold the arrow in the palm of my hand before the long arrow approached. Not only me, but many people saw it at the time, and there was a lot of commotion on the side of the barbarian army. Then you don’t know, that kid Rong Then we got into the grass next to it, dived into the river, swam to the other side, and beheaded seven barbarian archers in a row, and we also took advantage of the commotion on the other side to attack in one fell swoop, and only then won the battle."
Lieutenant General Xiong was spitting, and described the scene at that time vividly.
After Gu Chao listened, he groaned for a rare moment, and said, "Call that kid Rong in."
Vice General Xiong hurried to call Rong Ye over, saying that the marshal wanted to see him.
Rong Ye followed Vice General Xiong into the commander's tent, and as soon as he entered, he met Gu Chao's sharp eyes that were like sharp knives.
Rong Ye hesitated for a moment, bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Marshal."
Gu Chao sat on the table and looked at the thin and short soldier next to him.
The frontier is wild, and the appearance of the frontier soldiers varies from good to bad. Gu Chao himself is nearly nine feet tall (the calculation of the Qin Dynasty, about 1.9 meters), and this small soldier may be less than seven feet tall. Standing with Lieutenant Xiong who is also nine feet tall, Not to mention being two heads short, his body is still slender. Looking at his hands and feet, he might be able to be lifted by Lieutenant Xiong.
It's hard for Gu Chao to imagine that this little soldier can be as brave as Lieutenant Xiong said?
The marshal above did not say a word for a long time.
Lieutenant Xiong was protecting Duzi, and asked fearfully: "Marshal, you wouldn't listen to those people's rumours, and think that I, Old Xiong, are bragging. Come on, kid, you can show Marshal Xiong's marksmanship!"
It is said that it is not a descendant, but he even taught the marksmanship passed down from his ancestors.
Gu Chao shook his head, he didn't want to delve into this aspect, he said to the boy Rong: "Go out, in the future your family's Shangfeng wants you to fight Wu Na, if you refuse, you must be a real man, don't put too much value on your fame."
Rong Ye had been terrified by Vice General Xiong's occasional performance of her talents. Hearing this, she smiled and thanked her immediately: "The last general will follow the instructions of the Marshal!"
Gu Chao saw the corners of the young man's mouth curled up, and saw the old bear drooping his brows in worry, so he felt happy and waved his hand: "Go."
Rong Ye left happily, and after a while, Vice General Xiong also came out.
Rong Ye knew that Vice Admiral Xiong really admired him. This appreciation was not because of whose daughter he was, not because of whose sister she was, but simply because she was Rong Ye, a comrade in the same battalion who could fight side by side with them.
Rong Ye liked this feeling very much. She was afraid of hurting Deputy General Xiong, so she went over to him and said, "From now on, I will punch and play guns in the school grounds. Whoever you want to watch, let him come to the school grounds to watch. We are not a busking team, how can we Who wants to see it and perform it for him alone, how embarrassing."
The little girl's words are tricky, and Vice General Xiong asked her to say this, and she really thinks that's the case. Since it's a good thing, it's natural for you to follow me to see it, and I want you to rush to show it to you, to give you face?
So Lieutenant Xiong was easily coaxed by his little apprentice, and cheerfully wanted to fight again with the little apprentice to celebrate.
Gu Chao was busy with the military in the camp. When he had some free time, it was almost westward outside. He got up and planned to go to inspect. As soon as he went out, he heard two soldiers whispering: "Boy Rong is really amazing. He was so beaten that he couldn't stand up, Vice General Zhang used to travel with a group of soldiers in his early years, and learned a lot of advanced martial arts, but this kid Rong is also proficient in this way, he beat Vice General Zhang to the knees, hahaha, the funniest Yes, with Vice General Xiong's expression at that time, Vice General Xiong has never been able to beat Vice General Zhang, but this time Kid Rong defeated Vice General Zhang, and Vice General Xiong was about to die of anger."
"That's right, Vice General Xiong also passed on the marksmanship of the Xiong family to Boy Rong, who knows that Boy Rong is ten times better than him in martial arts, and Vice General Xiong refuses to eat dinner, and now Boy Rong is still coaxing him."
After hearing this, Gu Chao found it interesting and called the two soldiers to stop.
When the soldiers first saw the marshal, they thought they had been found out for being lazy, so they hurriedly told the marshal when they heard what had happened.
The reason was that Vice General Xiong had a mean mouth, so he ran to Vice General Zhang and said, would you come to see our kid practice guns in the school grounds? After a while, Vice General Zhang taunted him, "You're so mediocre, what's so interesting about your apprentice."
As a result, Boy Rong heard this. Seeing Vice General Xiong being knocked to the ground, he directly uttered a bold word that he wanted to fight Vice General Zhang.
In the end, the result was unexpected. Boy Rong actually won. Originally, he was venting his anger on Vice General Xiong, which was a good thing. Vice General Zhang didn’t say anything, but Vice General Xiong quit. The boy Rong didn't say anything, he was so angry that he refused to eat dinner.
Right now, Boy Rong is still guarding outside his master's tent with his dinner, but Vice General Xiong tells him to squirm.
People in the military camp always speak with their fists. When Gu Chao heard this interesting story, he thought of the young man with slender arms and legs. When he was patrolling, he walked outside the old bear's tent.
Sure enough, I saw the child holding a bowl of steamed buns, nestling behind the tent curtain, peeping inside.
Gu Chao walked over and coughed dryly behind him.
The young man came to his senses and quickly turned around to salute him: "Marshal."
Gu Chao opened the curtain and walked in. Vice-General Xiong inside was still sulking. Seeing that it was the marshal, he stood up. Gu Chao still held the curtain in his hand, turned his head, and said to the child outside: "Come in, no? Bring food to your master?"
