Through the otherworldly peerless

"What does the general mean?" Lei Jia stared at Wu Hui in front of him, "You want to recruit troops?"

Wu nodded back: "Yes, and this time I will personally supervise the recruitment of recruits."

Lei Jia sneered: "The general may not be very clear about the situation in Baicheng when he said this. How can there be any soldiers in Baicheng to recruit? The total number of people in Baicheng is only 500, old and young. It is impossible to recruit troops."

Wu Hui: "Then let all men under the age of 40 and over ten in the city join the army."

Lei Jia's face froze: "What?"

Wu replied: "I've already checked. There are at least two hundred men in this age group, which can barely be counted as an army."

Lei Jia was startled: "But have you ever thought about it, the general, that men of this age are the pillars of the family! The entire family depends on them to support them! If you let them join the army, who will plant the land? Who will cut the firewood?"

Wu Hui: "Isn't Baicheng unable to grow crops? What else to grow?"

Lei Jia: "I can't grow any crops, but the annual taxes are not reduced!"

Wu Hui: "Aren't there still women?"

Lei Jia: "Women have to take care of their children and the elderly at home, and then put the burden of farming on them. Aren't they going to die of exhaustion?"

Wu Hui waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just farming and taking care of the family. What's the big deal?"

Lei Jia gritted his teeth: "The general can really stand and talk without back pain."

Wu Hui patted the table: "Lei Jia! Is this what you, as a subordinate, can say to your general?"

Lei Jia sarcastically said: "The general wants to recruit soldiers, I'm afraid Mr. Xiangkang may not agree, the general may not know that raising soldiers requires money, and Baicheng doesn't have enough food to support so many soldiers."

Wu Hui: "About this point, I have already discussed with Lord Xiangkang. All the soldiers will bear the food for one meal, but there is no monthly food."

"No monthly rations? Only one meal?" Lei Jia was completely angry when he heard Wu Hui's words, "You guys are going too far! What is the difference between this and treating people as slaves?"

Wu Hui's face sank: "General Lei, pay attention to your words! Who do you say is too much? Am I still an adult?"

Lei Jia's face turned red with anger, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he could only swallow the words in his stomach, after all Wu Hui brought out Xiangkang.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hui said again: "By the way, those people in the military camp who are over forty years old, let them all go home. I have no obligation to support a group of old, weak, sick and disabled."

Lei Jia had just endured his hard work, but now it was completely turbulent. He stared at Wu and replied: "They are all veterans of Baicheng, and they have guarded this city all their lives. There were still people who made meritorious service in the riots back then. Are they going home? This is simply killing them!"

In the middle of the riots?Wu Hui pursed his lower lip and said: "This is also the meaning of Master Xiangkang, Lei Jia, I think it is because of your sympathy for your subordinates, I don't care about today's affairs, but you'd better remember it for me, if you I still want to hold your position, you'd better keep your mouth shut, and stop saying anything!"

Lei Jia's face was dark: "Do you think I'm rare? I don't want to—"

"General Lei!" Uncle Feng came in with tea outside the door, and he brought the tea for Wu Hui to Wu Hui, "General Wu, the tea you want."

After finishing speaking, he immediately went to Lei Jia and bowed his hands to him: "General Lei, I have something important to report to you, please come with me."

Lei Jia looked at Uncle Feng, his chest heaving violently, Uncle Feng kept giving him winks, Lei Jia finally endured it, and raised his hand to Wu Hui: "The subordinates go to work first, and come back later." Discuss the matter with the general!"

Wu Hui didn't stop him, and drank his tea without bothering to talk to him.

As soon as Uncle Feng went out, he took Lei Jia to a corner where no one was around.

Uncle Feng said anxiously: "General! General is confused! You can't say what you said just now!"

Lei Jia suppressed his voice, and the words really came out through his teeth: "They are bullying too much! What right do they have to drive you away? You have guarded Baicheng all your life, and now they don't even give you a way to survive. You should go away!" It's them bastards!"

Uncle Feng joined the army a long time ago, and has been guarding Baicheng for decades. Now he is almost sixty and alone. He originally thought that being in the army would be his final destination. was driven away.

Feng Bo lamented: "Perhaps this is our fate."

"No!" Lei Jia held Feng Bo's wrist and said firmly, "I promised to let you stay, and I will never break my promise! I will go to Xiangkang now! Ask him if he remembers, when he was Who saved his dog's life!"

"Don't, don't go, General Lei!" Uncle Feng pulled Lei Jia with all his strength, "If you go, I'm afraid I will die sooner!"

Lei Jia was startled, and turned to Uncle Feng: "Uncle Feng, what do you mean by that?"

Uncle Feng looked at Lei Jia hesitating to speak, and finally turned his head and sighed: "Hey! Just, don't ask. In short, don't bring up what happened back then. It's for yourself and me."

Lei Jia felt that Uncle Feng was hiding a secret in his heart. During the riots 20 years ago, he was clearly a hero who defended the city lord with all his might. Why did he say that Xiangkang wanted to kill him?

Lei Jia: "Uncle Feng..."

"Don't ask, don't ask." Uncle Feng interrupted before Lei Jia could speak this time, "Don't talk about General Wu, he won't listen to you, and your lord will not." , General Lei, I also watched you grow up. These years, in my heart, I have treated you as a family member. Listen to me, the world is like this, and it cannot be changed by you alone or with a word. , you resigned from office today, you are at ease, but you... what about the children you raised, what will they do?"

Lei Jia suddenly remembered, yes, he is not alone now, there are still a group of children behind him, today he resigned from office in a fit of anger, in the future those children may be starving, whether they can even bear it A winter is unknown!

Uncle Feng patted Lei Jia on the shoulder: "I know, you feel wronged and angry, but... but what can you do? At least with your help, those children can survive this difficult winter day, General Lei, it's for their sake, just... just bear with it!"

With a knife on the prefix of Ren, how could Uncle Feng not know how difficult it is to say so lightly?It's a pity that he is old and can't help Lei Jia. What he can do now is to try not to cause trouble for him.

"Also, don't talk about the expulsion of us people, I will tell you for you." Feng Bo whispered to Lei Jia, "Go, they will feel uncomfortable, I will talk, yes We're all better."

Uncle Feng finished speaking, looked at Lei Jia and sighed again, then turned to leave.

Lei Jia called out to people with red eyes: "Uncle Feng!"

Feng Bo looked back at him.

Lei Jia said hoarsely: "I'm sorry."

Uncle Feng smiled, and waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

In fact, these old people, even if they live another ten or eight years, so what?It's better to let Lei Jia and the others live well. Maybe one day, Lei Ding and his juniors will be able to wait for the person who brings hope to Baicheng.

"The general came back earlier today than yesterday," Xun took off the armor on Wu Hui's body, and carefully put the saber aside for him, with a bit of joy on his face, "I'll go to the kitchen and tell them in a while, let them do it for you." The general is preparing dinner."

Wu Hui just told Chong yesterday that there is no need to prepare dinner for him in the future, he will eat in the barracks before returning.

Unexpectedly, Sui just said in the morning that Wu Hui returned early today, and Sui didn't think it would be troublesome to make an extra trip, he seemed quite happy that Wu Hui came back early today.

Wu Hui changed his clothes and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so I'll be back first, and it will be the same tomorrow."

Sui responded softly, lowering his eyes to hide his disappointment.

Wu Hui came back late, which meant that they couldn't have dinner together. The first time Sui was called by Wu Hui to eat together, he almost suffered from excitement. He never thought that one day he would be able to have dinner with him. Wu Hui sat and ate together, and that scene still feels like a dream to him.

It's a pity that such opportunities are too few and too short, and then Wu Hui went out early and returned late every day because of military affairs, not to mention eating together, the chance to serve Wu Hui for dinner was gone.

Therefore, the rarer the opportunity, the more you have to cherish it!Why would you find it troublesome?He just wished he could go to the kitchen now and ask Pao Niang to serve him today's dinner.

Wu Hui suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Chong, "Do you know fried beans?"

Sui was stunned, and nodded: "I know, I heard that...that Lord Wuyihou taught the servants around him to do it."

Wu Yihou was Wu Hui's former master, but now, Wu Hui has obviously betrayed his master and joined Xiangkang's sect. I was afraid that he would not like to hear the word "Wu Yihou", so this sentence said Be extra careful.

But Wu Hui obviously didn't care that much about him. Hearing what he said, he nodded and said: "Yes, he always likes to toss about things that don't make any sense. As a royal family, he actually studies things that women only do all day long. It's just a waste of time!"

Sui lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

Wu Hui glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Sui raised his head: "What?...Oh, you mean fried beans? No, no."

Wu Hui frowned: "Haven't eaten it? Didn't it mean that many people in the mansion exchanged their own beans for fried beans? And the taste seems to be very good, why don't you change it? Is there no beans?"

Sui said: "I, I have some, I'm just afraid that adults won't like it."

"Afraid that I don't like it?" Wu Hui was puzzled, "What do I like or not? If you want to try it, it's okay to try it. Don't tell me, Wuyihou has no other skills. He really has a special way of eating. Thinking about it, the fried beans should taste really good."

After hearing this, Sui immediately asked, "Does the general like it? If you want to try it, I will go to them tomorrow to change it!"

Wu thought about it for a while: "I don't care about fried beans, but I heard that those things are fried with sand?"

Sui nodded: "That's what everyone said."

Wu replied: "Sand can be used for cooking? It's really strange."

Seeing Wu Hui's strange expression, he said cautiously, "Does the general want to go and have a look?"

Wu Hui: "I really want to see it, but what if they don't fry the sand now?"

Sui thought for a while: "The servant brought the beans and said he wanted to exchange fried beans with them, so that the general could see him."

Wu Hui was stunned, Chao Chong smiled and said: "That's right, it's indeed a good idea."

Being praised by Wu Hui, Sui blushed immediately with excitement.
