Chapter 484 Xiao Zhenrong Steals the Sword
Xiaoying said: "Just think about it if you want to. Why do you need to speak so harshly? If someone doesn't know, they might think you are cursing!"
Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Although we are from Baihua Island, he understood everything after meeting the general. There is no need to explain anything."
Xiaoying said, "That's right, you are just a piece of shit who likes to think too much. The general won't have as many little thoughts as you do!"
The five of them walked and talked, and soon they arrived outside the thatched hut.
Yang Dou said loudly: "General, disciple Yang Dou requests to see you."
Bi Ye did not answer, and the noise in the hut stopped. Yang Dou called out again.
Chu Xiaomu could still hear the breathing of someone inside, and suddenly he felt very strange. Logically speaking, the general's primordial sea of energy had reached an extremely high level, and every surface of his body should have appeared deep and dark. For example, the breathing should be thin and long, neither fast nor slow, but the breath of the person in the room was a little rough, and the speed was faster than that of ordinary people. He didn't look like a martial arts master at all.
Then he asked, "Xiao Dou, is the general's injury still not healed?"
Yang Dou said: "No, his injury has long been healed. He was not injured again on the day when the Red Army broke into the city."
Chu Xiaomu was even more puzzled, thinking that maybe the enemy came last night and injured the general again? He said anxiously: "Let's go in and see if anything happened."
Yang Dou didn't hear anything unusual in the general's breathing, but when he got no answer after asking twice, he became nervous and hurried over to push the door open.
Just as he rushed to the door, the straw door creaked open and he almost hit someone in the house.
Chu Xiaomu took a closer look and saw that the person who walked out of the house was not the general, but Xiao Zhenrong, the current commander of the Nanding Army.
Yang Dou also recognized him. When the two looked at each other, they were both stunned.
Chu Xiaomu hurriedly knelt on one knee to salute and called out, "I'm Chu Xiaomu, captain of the...the...squad of the Nan Dui camp, nice to meet you, General Xiao." He didn't even know which squad they were in at the time.
Yang Dou also hurriedly saluted and called out, "Yang Dou, the small battalion officer of the Nan Dui Camp, nice to meet... nice to meet General Xiao." He opened his squinting eyes as wide as possible, and for a moment couldn't understand what Xiao Zhenrong was doing in the general's thatched hut.
Xiao Zhenrong laughed and said, "Very good, very good, you two are here...well, and these few..." He saw Xiaoxuan, Xiaoying and Du Heng, three girls he had never seen before, and didn't know how to address them.
Yang Dou hurriedly introduced the three girls, saying that they were from his hometown, Baihua Island.
Xiao Zhenrong made several “hmm” sounds and seemed a little absent-minded.
Chu Xiaomu stood up and saw Xiao Zhenrong with his left hand behind his back. A black diagonal hilt was exposed above his left shoulder. It was obviously the Dragon Spine Sword of General Bi Ye. He thought to himself, General Xiao, you have your own weapons, so why are you taking the general's Dragon Spine Sword?
Yang Dou asked, "General Xiao, is the general here?"
Xiao Zhenrong smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the general is not here at the moment."
Yang Dou also saw Xiao Zhenrong holding Bi Ye's Dragon Spine Sword and asked, "Xiao Zhongjun, you...you are..."
Xiao Zhenrong was stunned, took the Dragon Spine Sword in front of him, and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Yang Dou nodded. He knew that the general's Dragon Back Sword was never lent out. Apart from Xiao Mu, even he, his direct disciple, had never touched it. How could he give it to you, Xiao Zhongjun?
Xiao Zhenrong said, "Oh," and after a short pause, he said, "The general went to inspect the river bank early in the morning, but he forgot to bring his sword with him, so he ordered me to deliver it."
Yang Dou nodded and said, "That would be great. Now is a critical time. It would be better for you to carry the general's Dragon Spine Sword with you."
Chu Xiaomu also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that such a simple matter had made him nervous for a while.
Xiao Zhenrong strode to Chu Xiaomu's side, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Brother Chu, you're back?"
Chu Xiaomu bowed and answered, "I was lucky enough to escape with my life. I just arrived at the camp last night, and haven't had time to report to General Xiao. I hope General Xiao will punish me." Thinking of the murder of Lin Zhen, Ling Weidou and others in the Beast Mountain, he felt heartbroken again. He thought it would be better to tell General Xiao about this matter later, so that he could tell him the details then.
Xiao Zhenrong nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay..." Then he changed the subject and asked, "What are you guys doing here?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "There are some small matters that I need to report to the general."
Xiao Zhenrong said: "Since it is a small matter, it is the same if you tell me."
Chu Xiaomu hesitated to answer, and Xiaoxuan said, "This is our private matter, it is not convenient to tell the Central Army."
Xiao Zhenrong looked at Xiaoxuan for a few times, and then squinted at Xiaoyuan and Duheng standing beside him, wondering what these three pretty girls could want from the general. But since she said it was a private matter, it was not easy to ask any more questions. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, you guys wait here for the general to come back. I'll give him the sword first. Don't let him wait too long." Then he walked away.
Yang Dou said, "General Xiao, how about we go with you to find the general?"
Xiao Zhenrong suddenly stopped and said, "You are going to discuss private matters with the general, so just wait here. There are too many soldiers over there, so it's not convenient to talk." After that, he laughed dryly twice and left without looking back.
Everyone thought the same thing. Since it was a private matter, it was indeed inconvenient to mention it in a crowded place. They had no choice but to find some clean stone blocks in front of the house to sit down and wait patiently for the general to come back.
Du Heng suddenly said, "Your Xiao Zhongjun is so weird."
Chu Xiaomu recalled the time when he first met Xiao Zhenrong when he entered the military camp, and said, "Xiao Zhongjun's temper is a little strange sometimes, but he is still very good and very considerate of the soldiers under him. He is also very thoughtful and is a capable deputy to Zhou Zhongjun."
Du Heng didn't say anything else and sat down a body distance away from Yang Dou.
The five of them sat for a while, but Bi Ye didn't come back to the house. Yang Dou couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Mu, why don't we go back first and come back to see the general later."
The other four people didn't know when the general would come back, and they thought it was boring to wait. Thinking that Yang Dou still had things to do, they discussed for a while and decided to go back to the camp first and come to see him after noon.
The five of them had walked less than half a mile when Chu Xiaomu suddenly stopped and asked everyone to stop, then led everyone to a large clump of wormwood. This clump of wormwood grew by the water, and although it was only mid-spring and the new leaves had not yet fully grown, the dry wormwood leaves were densely packed, enough for the five people to hide.
Xiaoxuan asked: "What happened?"
Chu Xiaomu made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed to the east.
