Bolang City, on the city gate tower.
Kade and Waldo were discussing the matter of resisting the attack of Xia Xia's army. Although the defenses of the city gate tower had been set up and even the collapsed areas on the city gate tower had been cleaned up, Ma Yuan had led the army to camp outside the city without taking any action. Kade could not calm down and felt that something was going to happen.
Therefore, when he was free, he stood on the city gate tower and discussed matters with Waldo. He checked the loopholes and filled in the gaps. While Kade and Waldo were talking, a soldier hurriedly entered and whispered a few words in front of Waldo.
Waldo waved his hand.
The soldier turned around and left.
Kade asked, "Waldo, what happened?"
Waldo said, "City Lord, it's about Tibit."
Kade asked, "What happened to Tibit?"
Waldo looked helpless and said, "What else can it be? Tibit was drunk again and beat up the soldiers in the army. This was because when Tibit was drunk, he chased after the soldiers and was seen by countless people. Right now, the news of Tibit beating up the soldiers has already spread throughout the army. That bastard Tibitt really doesn't learn his lesson! "
Kade's expression changed slightly. "Damn it!"
His face was filled with anger. Now that the war with Xia Xia was already the most difficult time, Tibit was still drinking and causing trouble in the army. Especially when he had repeatedly ordered Tibit to forbid drinking in the army, but Tibit knowingly violated it.
Kade was furious and ordered, "Pass down the order. Punish Tibit with thirty military rods and demote him by three ranks. Apart from that, tell him to get out of the camp if he commits the same mistake again. "
"Yes!"
The messenger received the order and turned around to inform.
Waldo shook his head helplessly and said regretfully, "City Lord, speaking of Tibit, his ability is not bad. He's more than enough to guard a region. It's a pity that he's so addicted to alcohol that it's really detestable. "
"If I remember correctly, I don't know how many times I've been punished for drinking and punished with rods. If not for this, Tibit would have long been a general in the army and could command all the troops. In fact, some of the former subordinates of Tibito are no longer weaker than Tibito, and may even be higher ranked than Tibito. "
"His abilities are outstanding, but it's a pity."
At this point, Waldo said, "But this time, you directly demoted him by three ranks. Isn't that a little too harsh?"
Castel said in a deep voice, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Now that Tibit had violated the law and discipline, he naturally had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Tibit jumped out and dealt with him. Through this incident, it will also serve as a warning to the other generals so that they won't dare to act recklessly. "
Waldo said, "The City Lord is right."
While Waldo and Kade were talking, the messenger had already left to pass down the order. Currently, in the barracks, Tibit, who had finished venting, was already sleeping soundly in his tent. However, when Tibit was resting, the messenger arrived and ordered the soldiers to drag Tibit out and force him to sober up before executing him.
After thirty beatings, all the alcohol in him would be sober. Tibit's butt was injured, but he didn't seem to care at all. Because to him, this was extremely normal. It was normal for him to get beaten up after drinking. However, when Tibit found out that he had been demoted by three ranks, he was stunned. This was something that had never happened to him before.
At most, he would not be promoted after repeatedly failing to change. However, this time, he had been demoted by three ranks. This was something that had never happened before. Especially now, his official position was not much different from his former subordinates. In fact, it was even lower than his former subordinates. Now that he had been demoted by three ranks, it was even worse. Therefore, Tibit simply could not accept it.
Tibit waited for the injury on his butt to recover a little. When he limped out with his butt sticking out, he heard some people talking about him. They said that he was the black sheep of the army. If not for the fact that he had made great contributions to Bolang City in the past, he would have been punished long ago. In fact, there were even a lot of rumors that were ridiculing Tibitt.
When Tibit heard these words, he was even more furious and almost flew into a rage on the spot.
In the end, Tibit suppressed his anger.
He returned to his tent to rest.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Tibit left the barracks and went straight home. However, when he returned to the backyard of his home, he saw his delicate wife, Zhao Qingyao, whose eyes were red from crying.
Even though Tibit was injured and could not walk properly, and even his butt felt uncomfortable when he sat down, he did not show his inner emotions. He asked, "Little darling, what happened? Who bullied you? Tell me, should I go find him? "
Zhao Qingyao said, "Husband, I'm fine. What happened to you? Why were you beaten?"
Tibit shook his head and said indifferently, "It's nothing. It's just a little injury on my butt. You know that I like to drink, so this time, I was taught a lesson by the City Lord. It's nothing. "
After a pause, Tibit said, "Little darling, you still haven't told me what happened. After crying, your eyes are still red. You look like you've been wronged."
Zhao Qingyao said, "It's nothing!"
Tibit said, "Tell me."
Zhao Qingyao hurriedly shook her head and said reluctantly, "It's really nothing." The more Zhao Qingyao acted like this, the more Tibit felt that something was wrong. He stood up abruptly and said, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?"
Zhao Qingyao said, "Husband, don't be angry if I tell you."
Tibit said, "I'm not angry."
Zhao Qingyao said, "When I went out to play today, I returned to the Hidden Flower Pavilion. At that time, I was chatting with a few sisters and heard them say that the City Lord has recruited some alchemists from the Tang dynasty. "
Tibit said, "There's such a thing."
Zhao Qingyao said, "I heard from the sisters that the City Lord listened to the alchemists and said that a woman with a special fate and birth date is needed to rush into the harem to succeed. It just so happens that I have such a fate. It's just that I didn't say it at that time and kept it in my heart. Husband, I can't bear to part with you. "
This was Zhao Qingyao's own excuse.
She had already met Meng Huan and promised Meng Huan that she would talk to Tibit about it. Correspondingly, Meng Huan also had to ensure Tibit's power and could not let Tibit not advance and retreat. Meng Huan naturally agreed.
Meng Huan also gave Zhao Qingyao a suggestion when he asked her to talk to him. However, it was not what Zhao Qingyao had said. Because Zhao Qingyao felt that it was not suitable, she changed it on her own. She said this to make Tibit believe her. Moreover, Zhao Qingyao's words were changed according to the facts. There were indeed alchemists in Kass's City Lord Residence.
Tibit doted on Zhao Qingyao very much. He held her in his hands and was afraid that she would fall. When he heard Zhao Qingyao's words, he was instantly furious. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
