Chapter 181 Traitor and Trash

"This is natural, natural." Tao Li said quickly.

He originally thought the same way, to provide Hualiang with some information, and it would be better to sell Qingfengzhai.

It's just that he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Hua Liang looking over in confusion, Tao Li said bravely: "There are almost more than 2000 people in Qingfeng Village... there are almost hundreds of strong men..."

"And then?" Seeing that Tao Li fell into silence after saying a few words, Hua Liang frowned and said displeasedly.

"Gone……"

"It's gone." Tao Li said timidly.

He really knew that much, and other food, grass and equipment were guarded by Fang San or Chen Fu's cronies, and he was not given a chance to get close at all.

Let alone getting news from those two people, it was simply impossible.

But the point is, the two points he said, even if Hua Liang sent a random scout over there to observe for a while, why would he need him?
Apparently, Tao Li also understood this point, and his already pale face became even paler.

"It's useless, drag it out."

Hua Liang kicked Tao Li to the ground and said to the guards outside.

Seemingly perplexed, he kicked his feet hard again and said, "Unlucky."

Depressed and helpless, I thought that sending a traitor to my door would be useful as a starting point, but I didn't expect that what was sent was a waste, and I would have more mouths to eat, so I might as well bury it earlier.

Seeing Tao Li get up from the ground and beg for mercy loudly, Hua Liang picked up a rag and stuffed it into Tao Li's mouth.

"Chop it or bury it, it's up to you." Hua Liang said.

The guards also knew that they shouldn't bring Tao Li to Hua Liang, so they hurriedly dragged Tao Li out, while Tao Li with the cloth stuffed in his mouth could only beg for mercy.

Hua Liang was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something:
"and many more…!"

………………

In the evening, Wuming Town has already risen bursts of cooking smoke, and everyone has started to cook dinner.

Xiao Cui brought a plate of fat meat, set the table and chopsticks, and said loudly: "Master, Xiaohu Xiaobao, it's time to eat."

"Got it." Zhang Cai's voice came from the backyard.

With nothing to do at home, Zhang Cai called his two sons over and taught them some self-defense moves, just in case they encountered an emergency.

They didn't wash their hands, and they didn't pay much attention. They sat down and began to swallow.

"Mother, today's dishes are really rich." Zhang Bao said vaguely while devouring.

Xiaocui didn't answer, but put a few pieces of the fat on the plate into the bowl of her husband and son.

This is because Zhang Cai can only eat meat at home. Normally, his two sons work as helpers in the city, taking care of food and housing. Xiaocui just eats some casually by himself, and there may not be a flash wedding at the dinner table for a week. Oil and water.

It's not that he doesn't have money, on the contrary, Zhang Cai's family is now in the richest time, and the military salary he received from Gao Shun last time has not been spent, and he has been hiding in the backyard.

Originally, according to Zhang Cai's idea, he should spend the money tightly. Anyway, Gao Shun would also give him military pay. It was not a hurry to send it back by then, but Xiaocui didn't agree with it and insisted on keeping the money for the two of them. The son marries the mother-in-law.

Zhang Caiyou didn't care about her, so he didn't care.

Anyway, their family is not short of money now, and that's enough.

"When are you leaving?" Xiao Cui suddenly asked.

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao also slowed down their chewing speed, because they were also paying attention to this issue.

"Not necessarily, maybe two or three days later, maybe four or five days later, it depends on how the general arranges." Zhang Cai said dullly.

"Oh." Xiao Cui nodded, but remained silent.

But after a while, he whispered again: "Why don't you leave this time..."

"What did you say?" Zhang Cai frowned, and asked back: "Has the general ever treated our family badly? If I don't leave, who am I?"

"I understand the truth, but...you have also seen that many houses in this town have white strips on their doors. I'm afraid that one day our family will also..."

Posting a white couplet is a local dialect here, which means that if someone in the family dies, a white couplet should be posted on the door and a funeral ceremony should be held.

There are indeed many families in Wuming Town who are holding funerals. Among other things, Xiao Cui's family who often rushes to the house will lose her man, so he is naturally worried about Zhang Cai's safety.

"It's a war, there is no one who doesn't die." Zhang Cai didn't care, or he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Don't look at some of us who died in battle, but I don't know how many people we killed. , bandits, regular army, I don’t know how many have been killed.”

"If you kill so many people, you will suffer retribution." Xiaocui said with some worry.

"Afraid of retribution, if you are afraid of retribution, don't serve as a soldier."

Zhang Cai took a mouthful of rice heavily, chewed, and said, "I understand what you mean, but I really can't leave now.

If I could go before, I could go without any burden in my heart, but now, I have become the second in command of the army. To put it bluntly, I can't transfer without the army! "

"Father, you're bragging again." Zhang Bao whispered.

"Hey, little bastard, who is bragging." Zhang Cai was not angry, patted Zhang Bao's head, and said: "The general is good at fighting, but he doesn't want to manage the army, he is too lazy to manage the army, most of the time he just proposes One direction and then let go, let me do it.

Food and grass purchases, equipment repairs, military pay, etc., all these things have to be done by me. If I leave, the general will not be able to find someone to replace me in a short time. Tell me, can I leave? "

Zhang Cai is telling the truth, he is still very clear about his position, although Gao Shun told him before that he will give him soldiers and horses, and also gave Zhang Cai a chance to lead the army independently, but he knows in his heart, He's not that stuff.

If you are really good at this, why haven't you accomplished anything after being a soldier for the first time for several years?
It is precisely because Zhang Cai has been handling the affairs of Wuming Town since he came back. The town is getting bigger and bigger, and he has to do more and more things, and his level is constantly improving.

If he was a bit unfamiliar at the beginning, he has been practicing for a few months, and he has already become proficient. He has even planned the affairs of the army for the next few months.

Therefore, he can't leave. Except for Gao Shun and him who are trapped in the camp, anyone can leave, just like Chen Fu.

Speaking of Chen Fu, Zhang Cai also felt a little emotional. Although they were all from the same town, she did not know much about Chen Fu. She only knew that his father was a veteran and died on the battlefield. Send something over on behalf of the town.

There is some friendship, but it stops there.

Who knew that after Chen Fu joined the army, he became famous. He doesn't talk too much, and he has two brushes in his hands.
