C281 Here comes the bacon (1/2)

Although he only believed seventy percent of Chang Zilong's words, Jiang Xiaobai no longer hated him.

He was Chang Wei's older brother, so helping him meant helping Chang Wei. It meant helping Sun Jiayao, and also meant helping himself and Widow Chen.

It was a very special feast, with only two dishes and a jar of wine. The wine was good, but the dishes were not flattering, especially the tofu inside, it seemed to be rancid, Jiang Xiaobai could only barely eat a few mouthfuls of the crispy cucumber.

However, Chang Zilong treated it as a delicacy. Although he continuously invited Jiang Xiaobai to eat as much as he wanted, his chopsticks did not show any signs of stopping. No matter if it was the spoiled tofu or fat meat with no red stars, he stuffed it into his mouth.

As for the two soldiers in charge of serving him, they stared intently as their Adam's apple moved up and down. It was obvious that they were unable to endure their craving.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaobai started to believe Chang Zilong's words even more.

Their lives were really bitter, and this uncontrollable act of watching meat and meat was impossible to fake.

Being poor is good. Only when they are poor can it be easier for them to fight for it. As long as they can fill their stomachs, it can be said that they have succeeded in more than half.

The night was gone, the roosters were crowing, and the first rays of the morning sun were shining on the windowpanes.

”Master Bao, I've already said what I should say. I'm not considered a good person, but I don't admit that I'm a bad person either. If you want to give me a conclusion, I'm a gambler. ” Chang Zilong burped, then finally put down his chopsticks, stared at Jiang Xiaobai and said: ”I don't want to know who ordered you to come here, all I know is that your martial arts are very powerful, after thinking about it for an entire night, I want to run, but I can't.”

Jiang Xiaobai had already stopped eating, he only took a sip of the wine and laughed: Why, give me some last words?

”If I want to kill you, then I'll do it. Actually, it might be a good thing to die a few days earlier.” Chang Zilong stood up and said, ”I know clearly in my heart, that the odds of success are at most ten percent. ”If I die, then the soldiers will still be the soldiers, and they will only be able to serve the food, and most of them will be able to survive.”

Could it be that after drinking a few mouthfuls of cat urine, this fellow's courage suddenly increased?

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: ”Have you never thought about the third possibility?”

”The third possibility?” Chang Zilong laughed bitterly: ”This is a war, it's either you or me, there is no third possibility. Perhaps … Soldiers can run, but I can't. Because, my home is right here. ”

He was a bachelor, and now he was a little stuck on a tiger.

This was an opportunity, so why not test him?

Jiang Xiaobai replied, ”Actually …”

”Report!” Suddenly, a soldier ran to the door and said, ”Sir, the Old Master is here!”

”Old Master!” Chang Zilong trembled. He wanted to walk out, but he saw that Jiang Xiaobai had no other choice, so he stopped and said: ”Go tell the Old Master, tell him that I am busy with military matters and have no time to see him. Let him go back!”

”But …” But the Old Master is pulling a cart full of food and cured meat! ” The little soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

”Let him go!” Chang Zilong was furious.

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand: ”Wait, let him in.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't know who this old man was, but looking at Chang Zilong's expression, coupled with the fact that he could send a cart full of food and cured meat over, the relationship between the two was obviously not ordinary.

It was not that Chang Zilong did not want to see it, nor did he not want to eat cured meat.
