The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 234: Punishment
With Song Yan's comfort, Song Zhe slowly calmed down.
"Father, what do you mean..."
"This matter has passed. The most important thing now is to make the detoxification pills," Song Yan looked at the mountains outside the house. "With the detoxification pills, we can finally do what we couldn't do before."
Song Zhe understood the meaning of his words and his good intentions, "Father, I understand."
"Whether it's Gu Changfeng or Gu Jingzhi, we will have enough time to deal with them in the future. I'm very pleased that you can understand my painstaking efforts. I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down."
"Yes, father."
……
Three days later.
Gu Jingzhi led Ma Han and his party to the gate of Jiayuguan.
Looking at the city gate so close, except for Gu Jingzhi and the Zhenbei Army soldiers who went with him to rescue people, everyone else was very excited. Although they had not been out for a long time, it was not a short time either. Looking at the familiar city gate in front of them, they actually had a feeling of homesickness.
"Back?" The wounded soldier had gauze wrapped around his head and a splint on his arm tied to his neck. His tone was confused, then sudden, and then tears streamed down his face. He came back alive?
The young soldier had just joined the army and followed Ma Han to the southwest before going to the battlefield. Originally, he was not included in the team since he was a new recruit. But before leaving, his master in the army was injured, so he volunteered to take over.
His master had told him that the journey was dangerous, but the young man was full of energy and ambition, and he didn't think there was anything dangerous about going to the southwest at that time.
Their Zhenbei Army and Southwest Army are both Dayan's armies, and can be considered friendly forces, so there is no danger at all.
Besides, even if they are enemy troops, they are not going there to fight with them. They are going there to negotiate with them. He has read for two years and said that they are envoys. Even when two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys, let alone them.
But he never expected that books are books and reality is reality.
He never expected that the Southwestern Army played such a dirty trick. They were obviously soldiers guarding one side, but once they took off their armor and uniforms and put on face masks, they turned into bandits to cover up their crimes.
The soldiers who had not yet experienced the cruelty of the battlefield were the first to experience the evil of human nature.
For him, who was seeing blood and cruelty for the first time, everything that happened that night was like a nightmare.
If his colleagues had not pulled him back, he would have injured his neck instead of his arm, and he would probably have died there.
"Yes, we are back, and we are back alive." The soldier who was supporting him, although not injured, couldn't help but tear up when he saw his confused look.
He suppressed the sourness in his nose and pretended to be nonchalant, "Xiao Wuzi, it's just a fight and I got a little injured, what's the big deal.
Being a soldier, you will always have some injuries on your body. How can you go to the battlefield in the future if you are like this?"
"I……"
Just as Xiao Wuzi was about to explain, he interrupted him again, "Okay, stop dawdling. We'll be in town soon. Let's go home."
"Yeah." Xiao Wuzi lowered his head, a sparkle flashed in his eyes, "Yeah, I'm going home."
Hearing Xiao Wuzi's strong nasal tone, the old soldier beside him was silent for a moment, but did not speak again.
After entering the city, Gu Jingzhi first took them back to the military camp, and then gave each of them three days off.
Although many soldiers were injured, they still cheered when they heard the news.
After they calmed down and dispersed, Gu Jingzhi took Ma Han to the general's tent.
Gu Changfeng, who had already received the news of their return, had been waiting in the general's tent for a long time.
"Greetings, General." Ma Han saluted with his fists clasped.
Gu Jingzhi stood up, walked around the table and came to Ma Han. He looked him up and down, then smiled and patted his shoulder.
Before they returned, the silver and food had been escorted back to the barracks.
They had too many wounded soldiers and could not march fast, so Gu Jingzhi simply arranged for a small team with no wounded to escort the silver and food back to the camp first and report what happened back to the camp.
“Good boy, this general knows that you are reliable.
You really did hurt that old man Song Yan this time, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a despicable trick.
How are you? Are you okay? "
“Replying to the General, I have accomplished my mission. However, the credit this time is not mine alone. It is the result of the bravery of all my officers and men, and the timely arrival of General Gu with reinforcements.
Otherwise, the general might not see us today."
Ma Han did not take all the credit on himself. He knew clearly that the success of this trip was not due to one person. Facing the well-trained Northwest Army, if it were not for the group of brothers behind him who were not afraid of life and death, they might not have waited for General Gu's rescue. If it were not for General Gu's timely rescue, they would probably have become dead souls long ago.
"It's all my fault for being careless. That's why others took advantage of the situation. Many of the soldiers who went with me were seriously injured this time. It was all because of my inaccurate prediction."
Gu Changfeng knew his temper, "You are still like this, all the credit goes to everyone, and all the mistakes are on yourself, aren't you tired?!
Okay, this general already knows what happened. How can this fault be put on you? If you want to blame someone, it should be that guy Song Yan who is so shameless at such an old age.
He will do whatever it takes."
Gu Changfeng rolled his eyes in disdain, "I really don't know what your majesty likes about him. Let him be the leader of the Southwest Army. Aren't you afraid that he will surrender to the enemy one day when we are fighting against the enemy?"
"Father!" Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly.
Gu Changfeng waved his hand, "There are no outsiders here."
Ma Han stood there with a calm expression, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Father should be more careful with his words and actions, so as to avoid those censors in the court reporting you again." Gu Jingzhi said disapprovingly.
"Stop talking to me about those censors. They are all like gossipy women. I don't even want to bother with them.
You're still talking about me, but I haven't talked about you yet. If you had arrived earlier, Ma Han and the others wouldn't have been injured. You have to bear most of the responsibility." Gu Changfeng glared at him.
Gu Jingzhi did not refute, "It is indeed my fault that the support was not timely. I will accept the punishment later."
"General, how can you blame General Gu for this? It was just a coincidence."
He already knew the reason why General Gu was late, and he felt that it was not General Gu's fault.
"Alright, stop making excuses for him. The reason is not important. What this general wants is the result.
A mistake is a mistake, there's no need to have so many reasons." Gu Changfeng looked at Gu Jingzhi, "30 military sticks, go down and accept the punishment later."
