Xu Nianzu was dissatisfied that he was not greeted by the other party in person. He thought that they were insincere and uneducated, but he did not dare to say it out loud. Looking at these tall and strong soldiers with bright armor and cold eyes, Xu Nianzu felt scared.
Knowing that he could only bring two guards in, Xu Nianzu quickly picked the two tallest and strongest guards to boost his courage.
Walking all the way into the barracks, Xu Nianzu felt that he smelled a stimulating gas mixed with fragrance. Then he saw many soldiers washing pots and knew that they had just eaten. They looked very satisfied and did not seem to be hungry.
It seemed that this army was well-supplied and had strong combat effectiveness. If they fought face to face, Xu's would definitely not have the upper hand.
Xu Nianzu quickly analyzed that he was facing a strong enemy, not a random one. It was said that Hsiao Jixin was the best in training, commanding, and Daming the troops. Now it seemed that it was true.
When they came into the tent, a sergeant wanted to check whether Xu Nianzu and his companions carried lethal weapons. He saw the sabers on the two guards and asked them to remove their sabers. The guards refused, so Xu Nianzu stopped them and asked them to remove their weapons.
"I am a civilized man and will not stoop to the level of a bumpkin."
Xu Nianzu had such a deep understanding.
How could a person who was educated and knew how to read, as well as a scholarly title, lower himself to the level of these uncultured warriors who couldn't even read a word?
After handing over their weapons, Xu Nianzu and his companions were allowed to enter the commander's tent. As soon as they entered the tent, Xu Nianzu smelled a strange mixed aroma and pungent odor that was stronger than the one he had smelled just now. He fixed his eyes and saw a strong man sitting in the tent, looking at him while eating.
Obviously, the fragrant mixed with pungent odor came from the black and red dishes. The color made Xu Nianzu feel like vomiting, not to mention the strange smell.
More importantly, Xu Nianzu was very angry because this boorish martial artist actually wanted to see him during a meal! When he saw him, he was still eating!
When the Lord of Zhou received important guests, he was even willing to spit out the food that he had not had time to chew, but this guy, he …
"Forget it, I am a civilized man and will not stoop to the level of a rude warrior."
Xu Nianzu took a deep breath.
"I'm Xu Nianzu from the Xu family of Huating. Nice to meet you, General. May I know your name?"
Xu Nianzu faced Zheng Ying with all his self-cultivation.
Zheng Ying didn't reply. He was still eating the rice in big mouthfuls. Then, he refused while swallowing. He inhaled and drank the hot soup before eating the rice again. He repeated this process over and over again, his eyes fixed on Xu Nianzu.
Xu Nianzu could not hold it in any longer.
"Xu Nianzu of the Xu family of Huating! General, may I know your name? "
Zheng Ying swallowed the food in his mouth, took a few breaths, drank a bowl of hot soup, and then looked at Xu Nianzu.
"I'm Zheng Ying, Deputy General of the Zhennan Army's Black Tortoise Camp, Young Master of the Xu Family. What business do you have with me?"
You can't even read a word, yet you're pretending to be elegant. How disgusting!
But I won't lower myself to your level.
Xu Nianzu said angrily, "I came with sincerity. Is this how General Zheng treats a distinguished guest?"
"Honored guest?"
Zheng Ying laughed, "You are clearly an uninvited guest who disturbed my dinner, and you still have the face to call yourself an honored guest? Is your family so thick-skinned? "
"You!"
Xu Nianzu couldn't hold it anymore, "Why did you insult my family? You entered the Song Jiang Mansion without prior notice, dispersed the guards of the Song Jiang Mansion by force, and even invaded the land of my Xu Family. Do you know that you have violated the law? "
"Law?"
Zheng Ying laughed heartily. "In this place, this general is the law!"
"Ridiculous! How dare you, a mere martial artist, call yourself the law? Although my Xu Family no longer has a Prime Minister in the court, who doesn't know my Xu Family in this Song Jiang Mansion? Even if Xiao Ruxun sweeps Jiangnan, without the support of my Xu Family, he won't be able to stand firm! When my Xu Family calls for help, countless people in Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian will respond! You won't get a penny of military pay and a grain of rice here! "
Zheng Ying stopped laughing.
"Is this true?"
"Humph! You can try! "
Xu Nianzu sneered.
"Well, I'll try."
Zheng Ying shouted to the outside of the tent, "Guards!"
Immediately, eight burly, burly, and ferocious-looking soldiers entered the tent.
"Kill the three of them together, and those who followed outside the barracks. Cut off their heads and keep them. Follow us to Huating to meet the Xu Family!"
Under Zheng Ying's order, the eight soldiers shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Then they immediately took action.
The two guards were subdued by two soldiers in a daze, and then two more soldiers grabbed Xu Nianzu from both sides. Before Xu Nianzu could react, the two guards standing behind him were dragged out, and then Xu Nianzu was also dragged out.
Outside the tent, the last scene in front of Xu Nianzu was the two guards with their heads cut off, and then his head was also cut off.
The remaining ten Xu Family's cavalrymen outside the barracks were all shot to death by a group of crossbowmen. As for their horses, of course, they belonged to Zheng Ying.
Xu Nianzu was probably the most muddle-headed envoy in history.
Soon, the soldiers outside the tent brought in a dozen heads for Zheng Ying to see. Zheng Ying waved his hand in disgust and said, "Take them away. Don't you see that I'm eating? Take them away! "
Just like that, their heads were taken away. Zheng Ying looked at the food on the table that was no longer warm and spat unhappily.
"I didn't even have a good dinner because of you! Come on, heat the food again. I'll eat it later! "
Zheng Ying hated it when others disturbed him when he was eating, especially when Old Huo was willing to give him special treatment.
The next morning, the army set off after breakfast. Zheng Ying led the army to Huating, and another team swept up the remaining forces of the imperial court near Jinshan Guards and occupied various guard stations. Zheng Ying led the main force.
After the main force arrived at Huating County, Zheng Ying did not order to attack the city. Instead, he commanded the army to slowly surround the county, which was full of people on the city wall. After the whole county was surrounded, he ordered the army to set up camp and camp like this tonight.
Then Zheng Ying found Xie He.
"Mr. Xie, we can start in Huating County. Let's take control of the county and leave the rest of the villages and towns to you. I'll send someone to help you."
Xie He nodded to show that he was very satisfied.
"Thank you for your help, General Zheng. If this matter succeeds, General Zheng will definitely get great credit."
Zheng Ying laughed heartily. "We're all working for the Marshal. There's no such thing as great merit. Before you're done, I'll seal off this county town. In addition, I'll also seal off Qingpu County and Shanghai County. I'll leave the rest to Mr. Xie."
Xie He cupped his hands and thanked Zheng Ying. Then, he began to rush to his battlefield with his Five Tiger Generals.
Looking at his back as he left, Zheng Ying sighed with emotion and said to the guards around him, "These rich families are so unlucky to meet Xie He. They are all scholars. How can he be so cruel?"
One of the guards replied, "General, it's not just Xie He. The whole working group is like this. Sometimes, when I see those red-eyed farmers, I feel a little scared and have goosebumps all over my body."
Zheng Ying thought of that scene and suddenly shuddered.
