After returning to the heavily guarded central military tent, Dan Dongxing shook off Wu Gongling's arm, stomped his feet, and clapped his hands, saying, "Great General, you're muddle-headed. Why did you touch her? She's already so old. Do you have to do this? "
Wu Gongling waved his hand and said, "Elder Dan, she looks quite young. Her skin is soft and tender, and she's fair and clean. She has a charm that ordinary women don't have. I'm really moved. Elder Dan, I'm asking you to do this. Can you propose marriage to the Goddess Sect on my behalf? "
Dan Dongxing really wanted to give him a slap. "My Great General, what are you talking about? The Goddess Sect's rules state that no one is allowed to have romantic relationships. Once you enter the Goddess Sect, you can't get married. Wouldn't I be humiliating them by going there to propose marriage? I'd rather be courting death. "
"Bad habit! How can a woman live without a man? This is a bad habit that doesn't understand human nature. It must be abolished! "Wu Gongling sighed.
"You! Let's see how you're going to deal with this!" Dan Dongxing pointed at him and criticized him for a while. Finally, he stomped his feet and left. He really couldn't do anything to this kind of rascal.
He had to quickly arrange for people from the Immortal Pavilion to strengthen the defenses here so that Hui Qingping wouldn't come and kill this bastard.
When there were no outsiders, the frivolous expression on Wu Gongling's face disappeared. He touched the wet clothes on his body and shouted, "Change your clothes!"
His bodyguard immediately fetched clean clothes for him and helped him change.
After a while, Deputy General Jin Xiang hurriedly walked over and asked, "Great General, I heard that you touched that Elder Hui's butt. Is that true?"
Wu Gongling narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do I look like someone who dares not to admit what I've done?"
"…" Jin Xiang was speechless for a while. He sighed and said, "Great General, you … how could you do such a thing? Aren't you courting death?"
"What do you know!" Wu Gongling slapped the helmet on the back of his head, causing him to stagger.
After regaining his balance and holding his helmet, Jin Xiang came back and asked tentatively, "Does Great General have an explanation for what you did?"
"Sigh! If we don't leave, we will be throwing our lives away. If we continue to head east, we will have a slim chance of survival … "Wu Gongling's boorish face revealed a rare trace of melancholy." We are going to die either way. We can only hope for a slim chance of survival and continue to head east. Now that we have fallen into such a situation, I'm afraid that everyone will think that we are easy to bully in the future. It is inevitable that there will be people who will point fingers at us. For example, that Luo Zhao from the Song Kingdom. When we return, he will definitely instruct us to fight this way and that way. How can I let him use the lives of our three hundred thousand brothers to fill a pit for the Song Kingdom? "
He raised his hand and patted Jin Xiang's shoulder. "At the critical juncture of life and death, if we can hold on, we will have a way out. If we are weak, we will be forced into a corner. No one will pity our brothers and they will force us to our deaths. So, I definitely can't show weakness at this time. If I don't go crazy, I'll die. I want to let them know that I'm a madman. If they anger me, I'll do anything. I even dare to touch the women of the Goddess Sect, so what should I be afraid of? I have to let them know that they can't threaten me. Let them get used to it first, then I can fight for my brothers! I can't allow others to command us as they wish. "
Jin Xiang nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
"Big brother is too inflexible. Why is it that the Yan Kingdom that we fought so hard for can only be ruled by the Shang Clan? Why is it that even after we fought so hard, they still treat us like pigs and dogs and kill us whenever they want? The Yan Kingdom belongs to the Yan Kingdom, not to the Shang Clan alone. How can we let that incapable ruler and the treacherous officials in the royal court treat us like cattle and horses? I, Wu Gongling, will never be a nameless person in this life! "
"Now that chaos has arisen, it is the time for us heroes to show our prowess. We can't drag out an ignoble existence! Tell our brothers, since I've already raised my troops, I will not let this matter rest. Those who are willing to follow me can fight for a future together. Why can't we fight for a king or minister title? "
Jin Xiang hesitated. "Is it appropriate to tell our brothers this publicly? I'm afraid others will think too much. "
Wu Gongling waved his hand. "What's inappropriate about it? I will not hide it, I will say it publicly. Everyone knows that I am a boor, what is there to be afraid of! "
Jin Xiang nodded. "Alright! It's just that Great General has probably offended that Elder Hui greatly this time. How can she let you off after this? Goddess Cult's strength is really … "
Wu Gongling had a disdainful expression. "After this? If we can't get through this, what is there to talk about after this? As long as we can stand firm after this and be useful to them, Goddess Cult might even let that woman return to the secular world and marry me. What are you grinning for? If you don't believe me, I, your father, will definitely sleep with this woman! "
Jin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and turned to leave.
Wu Gongling waved his hand again. "Wait, how long can the rations last?"
Jin Xiang stopped and replied, "We retreated in a hurry and didn't bring much rations with us. The army's rations can only last the army for fifteen days at most."
Wu Gongling walked back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. Finally, he stopped in front of the hanging map. He stared at the route on the map and pondered for a while. Then, he turned around and said, "My intention has been exposed. There's no need to hide anymore. We can speed up the march. As long as we can catch up, fifteen days should be enough."
Jin Xiang nodded. "Great General, please instruct me."
Wu Gongling came closer and said, "It's too slow to march with a large amount of rations. We must share the burden. From now on, order the cooks to fry the rations and make them into dry rations every time the army reorganizes. Ask the brothers to sew the bags. Everyone must have three days' worth of rations on them. It's not only to reduce the burden of the army, but also to give the brothers a way out. If there's any conflict and we get separated … We will most likely die. If there are any brothers who want to leave, we won't force them. They have followed me for many years. It's better to part on good terms. Let them go on their own. No matter if they are separated or escaped, in this chaotic world, as long as they have three days' worth of rations on them, no matter where they go, it's a way to survive as long as they have rations in their stomachs … Let's do it this way! "
Jin Xiang nodded his head forcefully. "Don't worry, Great General. I will give the order now. We will distribute the rations to the brothers as soon as possible."
"Oh right, don't hide the fact that I touched that woman's butt. Make it public and let the brothers have some fun."
"Ah! There's no need for this kind of fun, right? "
"What do you know? Don't you understand morale?"
Jin Xiang suddenly understood the hidden meaning behind the Great General's action …
After a while, Wu Gongling came out of the tent alone with a jar of wine. He sat on the slope and drank alone.
A group of patrolling soldiers saluted as they passed by.
Wu Gongling glanced at them and waved his hand. "All of you, come here."
The group of soldiers looked at each other and finally stood up obediently. They didn't know what this person was going to do.
Wu Gongling sat there and asked. "Among the ten of you, who has the best alcohol tolerance?"
The ten of them looked at each other.
Wu Gongling added. "The one with the best alcohol tolerance, this general will reward him."
"Me!"
"I have the best alcohol tolerance."
Once they heard that there was a reward, the ten of them immediately fought over it.
Wu Gongling stood up and patted his butt. He chuckled. "Words are no proof. We still have to see! Someone, bring ten jars of wine over and call a battalion of men over as witnesses. Otherwise, they will say that this daddy is unfair. "
The accompanying personal guards immediately went to fetch the wine while another went to call a few hundred people over.
Everyone gathered in a circle. The ten jars of wine were placed at the feet of the ten soldiers. Wu Gongling carried a wine jar and walked back and forth. "There's no use bragging. Who has the best alcohol tolerance? Brothers, let's all be witnesses."
"Good!" There was a show to watch. The surrounding people cheered and cheered. They were all in high spirits.
The corporal of the ten soldiers shouted. "Great General, what will the winner be rewarded with?"
"What reward? Are you afraid that I will treat you badly? " Wu Gongling halted his steps, he looked left and right and said, "Everybody listen up, whoever can drink this jar of wine first, I will marry the most beautiful virgin girl from wherever our army is stationed after the war, and I will personally propose marriage on his behalf. If the other party's family doesn't agree, I will snatch the wife for him. I will also give him a house to hide his mistress and give them ten thousand gold coins to live a happy life. How about it? "
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up. Especially the ten soldiers, they excitedly rubbed their palms. The corporal shouted. "Will the Great General keep his words?"
Wu Gongling shouted. "Have I ever broken my promises to my brothers?"
"No!"
"No!"
Everyone waved their hands and shouted. This show was getting more and more interesting. The group of people were extremely excited.
A general couldn't help but run out. "I also want the most beautiful virgin girl. Great General, count me in, I … ah!"
Before he could finish his words, Wu Gongling kicked him back. "Scram. It's none of your business. If you participate, who dares to beat you? Just the ten of them!"
The general scrambled to his feet and shrunk to the side with a sheepish smile. This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Wu Gongling turned around and pointed at the ten soldiers. "Get ready!"
The ten soldiers hurriedly picked up the wine jars and removed the seal. Their eyes lit up as they listened attentively.
Clatter! Wu Gongling threw the wine jar in his hand and shouted. "Begin!"
The ten soldiers immediately picked up the wine jars and poured the wine into their mouths.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry …"
The surrounding people shouted and cheered for the ten soldiers. It was as if they were the ones competing. The liveliness attracted many people from afar.
Halfway through his drink, someone spat it out. Someone shouted that it didn't count and pulled him to the side. The soldier stomped his feet in frustration.
Finally, a dark-faced young man took the lead and flipped the wine jar, indicating that it was finished. However, his lips were tightly pursed. He didn't dare to speak, afraid that the wine would spill out from his throat.
A burst of cheers rang out. Wu Gongling pointed at the young man and asked what his name was. He told his personal guard to remember it and remind him to fulfill his promise. He also repeatedly told everyone that he would not go back on his word.
The cheers and envious voices at the scene brought endless joy to the army who were rushing on with their boring journey.
Wu Gongling happily squeezed out of the crowd. Just as he told his subordinates to pack up and continue on their journey, he saw the five elders with cold expressions, except for Hui Qingping, waiting for him outside the crowd.
When everyone entered the central tent, Quan Taifeng was the first to point at him and scold, "How dare you!"
Wu Gongling sat behind the table. "To tell you the truth, I've taken a liking to her, and I won't marry anyone else but her. With her as my wife, I'll be at ease. It's more or less a guarantee. Otherwise, I'll always be worried that people will burn the bridge after crossing it. I won't even have the mood to fight." He leaned against the chair and snorted.
