C282 A member of the army of a bandit (2/2)
For the time being, Jiang Xiaobai did not want to divulge any of this. Being able to go this far could be considered to be a smooth task, Jiang Xiaobai smiled as he pulled the father and son pair up and said, ”I also have this intention. General, I will definitely go with the army this time! ”
The two of them were overjoyed and wanted to kneel down and express their gratitude.
Both sides humbled each other and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai as one of his own, Chang Zilong's wariness towards him disappeared, and he immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
After a while, new dishes and wine were placed on the table.
This time, it was sumptuous, there were chickens and fish, meat and bones, the fragrance was strong, causing Chang Zilong to salivate.
However, he had just eaten a large bowl of cabbage to boil his white meat, and he really couldn't put anything down in his stomach. He was so anxious that he was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks.
Chang Bubai felt his heart ache as he said, ”My son has suffered.”
”Father, this is the beginning of the end!” Chang Zilong raised his wine cup excitedly and said: ”When my army breaks through the Yi Zhou, forget about chickens, duck, fish, even silks, silk, and gold, I have everything I need!”
Jiang Xiaobai frowned and asked: ”The purpose of your Yi Zhou is to steal something?”
”Master Bao, that's not a robbery, it's a salary.” Chang Zilong continued, ”It is a common practice in Great Song for generals to occupy a city and save the people from their miseries. The citizens will do their best to answer your kind question. Five days in the big city, three days in the small city.
People and military were having fun together. Wasn't it in the name of the savior that was forcing the citizens to pay for their food?!
Jiang Xiaobai knew that it was useless to pay attention to the three great disciplines for him right now, because he had received this kind of education since he was young, and thought that it was natural.
Wait until he reached the Yi Zhou City. In the face of ironclad reality, I don't believe he won't change.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, then asked: ”When do you plan to set off?”
”Within three days!” Chang Zilong said: ”Food can be delivered today, priority will be given to the A and B camps. Those who do not get sick within two days will be people who can fight. I had originally wanted to wait for the starting fee, but now with the help of Master Bao, I can't wait anymore. ”
”My son is wise!” Chang Bubai said: ”Without the starting fee, we are more reasonable. At that time, if there's anything wrong with our Yi Zhou City, the higher ups can't blame us too.”
Looks like this father and son duo thought of the same thing. If they couldn't obtain it at Baozhou City, they had to make up for it at the Yizhou City.
Poor people must have something to hate. They risked their lives to eat moldy grains to check their bodies. What they were thinking about was actually a good idea.
He was clearly a soldier, yet he dreamed of being a legal bandit!
”Report!” Suddenly, a soldier ran in and said: ”Master, the Lord Zhizhou has sent someone.”
Chang Zilong stood up and asked: ”How many of them are there? Do you have a carriage?”
The messenger had a disappointed look on his face as he said, ”There are only three of them. They are riding on horses and holding Lord Zhizhou's tokens and arrows, and said that they wanted Lord Douyuhou to enter the city to discuss the matter.”
”They're not giving us the money, but are actually urging me to set off. They are really scheming what they want!” Chang Zilong rubbed his hands together and said: ”Tell them that my Duyu has caught a cold and is unable to enter the city.”
Chang Bubai said nervously: ”Lord Zhizhou has summoned, if you don't go... ”I'm afraid?”
”No worries!” Chang Zilong sneered: ”They're begging me to send myself to my death, so they won't blame me.”
”Wait!” Jiang Xiaobai stood up, and laughed: ”Let's go, I'll accompany you!”
