Douluo's sword breaks the void

"By the way." Shui Mingcheng suddenly remembered something, "We have already found out what you asked us to find out. In the hearts of the people, the guard of Wuyang Pass has an excellent reputation. But the soldiers in the military camp are just the opposite. Almost all Be dissatisfied with them."

"Tell me about it." Xue Wuchen said curiously.

Shui Mingcheng briefly sorted out his thoughts and explained: "The reason why the people are full of praise for the guards here is because the soldiers here often repair bridges, pave roads, build houses and so on for the people. A hundred square meters Here, in all areas under the jurisdiction of Wuyang Pass, as long as there are major projects, the soldiers will rush to help as soon as possible. Moreover, every time it is farming and harvesting seasons, the soldiers will also go out to help. And these all come from General Sikong’s order. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers are dissatisfied.”

"It's extremely ridiculous." Xue Wuchen suddenly turned red with anger and hurriedly turned around and shouted to the guards outside the courtyard: "Come here, tell Sikong Jin."

"Yes."

Seeing Xue Wuchen's angry face, the guards guarding the entrance of the courtyard dared to delay, so they immediately went to find Sikong Jin with all their might.

Not long after, Sikong Jin came in a hurry, even before he put on his clothes.With her big belly exposed and bare feet, especially the yellow hair on her chest, she is very eye-catching even in the dark.

"I will finally meet His Royal Highness the Northern King."

Xue Wuchen was just about to open his mouth to accuse him, but when he saw Sikong Jin's disheveled appearance, he immediately showed a look of disgust.

"Get up and put your clothes on first."

"Yes." Sikong Jin asked while arranging his clothes: "It's so late, why does the King of the North call for the general to come?"

Xue Wuchen put on a smile and said, "I have heard a lot of good things about General Sikong just a few days after I came to Wuyang Pass. Tell me what good things you have done in Wuyang Pass these years. "

Sikong Jin heard that something was not right, so he immediately knelt down again.

"What an injustice! The last general has never done a bad thing in Wuyang Pass in these years! The other guards and the people in the city can all testify. I ask the King of the North to take a closer look."

"When did I say that you did evil?" Xue Wuchen retracted his smile, and his voice became obviously much heavier. "I ask you, apart from military affairs, have you ever given any other instructions to the soldiers?"

Hearing this, Sikong Jin seemed to have guessed something, so he said: "Reporting to the Northern King, in addition to military affairs, the last general did let them do some work to help the people, but this should not be considered a crime."

Xue Wuchen said sharply: "You are still stubborn and stubborn. Do you really have to wait for the enemy to attack the city before you can react?"

Sikong Jin said cautiously: "There are [-] troops at Wuyang Pass. The last general only sent a small number, so it won't have much impact!"

"The impact is not big?" Xue Wuchen sneered: "You can tell it. Even those who have never studied the art of war know the truth that one more person will increase their strength, let alone on the scene. I really I really want to know how you became the commander-in-chief of Wuyang Pass in the first place and how you became so stupid."

"The general understands what King Bei means, but..." Sikong Jin paused, as if he had something to hide.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Xue Wuchen rolled her eyes at him impatiently.

"Now that it's reached this point, the general has nothing to hide."

Sikong Jin suddenly showed a serious face and said seriously: "Your Highness the North King, all the [-] troops at Wuyang Pass came from the Balak Kingdom. Do you know this?"

Xue Wuchen nodded.

Sikong Jin continued: "Normally, the materials here should be supplied by the Balak Kingdom, but Wuyang Pass is the first line of defense on the border of the Tiandou Empire, so since His Majesty came to the throne, the Tiandou Empire has They would all send a certain amount of money and food. Therefore, the Barak Kingdom deducted half of the original military pay..."

Speaking of this, Sikong Jin became obviously excited, and tears actually appeared in his eyes.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Xue Wuchen's tone became much calmer.

Sikong Jin wiped away his tears and continued: "Since then, our lives have begun to undergo earth-shaking changes. With the food and salary from the Tiandou Empire and the supply from Balak, we can last for up to 25 days. If it weren't for us These defenders paid for it out of their own pockets, and I’m afraid this [-]-strong army has already been disbanded.”

"But our savings are also limited. They can't last long at all. Later, there was a flood, and a bridge in a nearby village was washed away by the river. The villagers were trapped in the village and couldn't get out. After we found out, We will help them build new bridges as soon as possible."

"On that day, the villagers were very enthusiastic and delivered water and meals. The soldiers who went to help even had a meal in their village at night."

"So, you go to work for the common people just to make a living?" Xue Wuchen interrupted him directly.

Sikong Jin said helplessly: "We really have no choice. We have no choice but to take this last step."

Xue Wuchen asked, "Have you never reported this problem to your superiors?"

Sikong Jin said: "This is natural. But the superiors have always been perfunctory and dismissed us for any reason. As time went by, we gave up."

"Then why didn't you respond to me when I came?" Xue Wuchen asked.

Sikong Jin responded weakly: "You have just arrived, and you have important matters to attend to. How can we disturb you?"

At this time, Xue Wuchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked again: "Since your life is so difficult, why did you say you wanted to build a mansion for me in the first place? It will cost you half a year's salary at least! Sikong Jin, you couldn’t just make up such a story to deceive me because of my young age.”

Sikong Jin felt guilty and said: "You are the King of Heaven and the North, the future commander-in-chief of the three armies. When you come here, we should build a mansion for you, otherwise..."

"Are you afraid that this king will hold a grudge? Will he stumble you in the future? So you're just trying to make yourself look fat?" Xue Wuchen couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, in many people's minds, this is just a common thing.

"There's nothing we can do." Sikong Jin smiled awkwardly.

Xue Wuchen was immediately speechless.

"His Royal Highness the North King." Sikong Jin suddenly showed a wicked smile and asked: "Now that the Tiandou Empire has received a large amount of supplies from the Xingluo Empire, I wonder if our soldiers at Wuyang Pass can share in it?"

"No." Xue Wuchen rolled his eyes and said: "But this time I will bring you money and food for next month. In addition, I will give you some more money to let you last longer. Wait for me When the king returns to Tiandou City, he will report this matter to his father and ask the Balak Kingdom to resume its original supply to you."

Hearing this, Sikong Jin immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said thanks: "General, on behalf of the [-] soldiers, I would like to thank His Highness the King of the North."
