Volume 1 Chapter 338 A Group of Cowards
The next day, in the front yard of the Hucheng Inspection Office, the first hour of the Mao period had not arrived, and the moon was still shining in the sky, but the group of people were even more angry than the rooster who was reporting dawn. In this biting cold weather, they all shrank their hands and feet, breathing white breath in their mouths, and squeezed into the center of the yard!
"Oh... I got up so early in this cold weather. What are you doing? I'm so cold that I almost turned into a popsicle." Someone couldn't help but complain.
"Hey... Captain Wei doesn't want to take revenge on us, we were not very kind to him yesterday."
Yan Bao, who was standing at the front of the team, heard this, rubbed his hands and sneered, "If he really wants to take revenge on us, we all have to have fewer fingers today."
Upon hearing this, a veteran couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Deputy Captain Yan, then will we listen to Captain Wei's orders in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Dai Hu. Although Xiang Yun's methods yesterday shocked them and made them feel a little awe, Xiang Yun had just come and said that they could not accept his control so quickly, and subconsciously rejected them.
When Yan Bao heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment and said.
"Let's take a look first." The unquestionable answer made everyone confused and were about to continue asking.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and everyone immediately realized who was coming. Without any reminder, they subconsciously stretched out their hands in their sleeves, straightened their waists, raised their heads, and stood straight in the yard one by one!
Then, Xiang Yun, wearing a black robe, a red coat lined with cloud shoes, walked out. If it weren't for the Cang Xuan giant sword on his back, but a long sword hanging around his waist, Daozhen would have looked like the "Da Ming Jinyiwei" wearing a big red python robe and flying fish suit.
Xiang Yun, wearing an official uniform, had a sharp look and steady pace at this moment. His pretty face looked a little more determined and cold against the black official uniform and the Cang Xuan giant sword. At this moment, Xiang Yun really had the spirit of a young and mature and young heroic in the eyes of everyone!
I just don’t know, if they knew that the heroic young man in front of them was a veteran of the casino in Qinfeng City, a distinguished guest in the fireworks land, a playboy who steals jade and incense, and spends a lot of money, what would he think in his heart!
Xiang Yun looked at the group of soldiers standing in the yard, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Very good, everyone gathered on time!"
"I believe everyone is very curious about what the purpose of letting everyone gather so early."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xiang Yun in confusion. They really didn't know what the new captain was selling.
Xiang Yun looked at everyone and said only four words!
"Each person does his job!"
"Hmm..." Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Xiang Yun continued, "I had already seen last night. The positions we inspected in the city, patrol, and detention were responsible for, and of course, there were also the files sorting of Dianyi's files and other daily trivialities. So I think that from today on, all positions will be reopened and everyone will take turns on duty!"
"What!"
"Just kidding!"
As soon as this statement was made, the entire team was in a bad mood. Who doesn’t know what the situation is in Hucheng now? The barbarians no longer take the inspection department of Fengyun Kingdom seriously at all. Even in the southern city gate, barbarians often charge tolls.
As soldiers from Dianya, they have to be careful even when going to the streets. Xiang Yun actually asked them to perform their duties and patrol and guard the city. Isn’t this asking them to die?
"If you don't go...will never go!"
"Yes, we won't go!"
Almost the next moment when Xiang Yun announced his decision, there were voices of opposition in the team, and there were strong voices of opposition. After experiencing a series of changes in Tiger City, these soldiers had already developed fear and disgust for the city.
Seeing this scene in front of him, although Xiang Yun had expected that there would be any opposition in his heart, he could not help but feel a little angry when he saw the fear in this person's eyes!
"Dare you dare to disobey your orders, aren't you afraid of being dealt with by military law?"
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged veteran snorted coldly: "Hmph... Use these to scare us, Captain Wei, Lao Song, I know you have high cultivation and powerful methods, but you can't joke about our lives!"
"Do you know, how many people were there in our inspection office six months ago? There were more than two hundred brothers. Now, look, you have only just fifty people together. There are more than one hundred brothers missing in half a year. Have you experienced these things?"
"You let us go out now, maybe half of the people who come back tonight will be reduced again. Aren't you let us go out and die?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, it seemed to arouse fear in everyone's hearts. I remembered that worried experience. While everyone was afraid and uneasy, they also had a rebellious mood, and looked at Xiang Yun with a vigilant look on his face.
"hehe……"
Unexpectedly, facing everyone, Xiang Yun suddenly laughed!
Everyone was puzzled, but they heard Xiang Yun suddenly shouted coldly!
"A bunch of cowards!"
"What did you say? Who are you talking about is a coward?" Everyone looked angry when they heard this!
"I said you are cowards, the weakest people in the entire Tiger City!" Xiang Yun repeated again!
After being humiliated for a while, a soldier suddenly said angrily: "Hmph... Captain Wei, you are a newcomer after all. Do you know the situation in this city? Have you ever experienced all this? What qualifications do you have to scold us!"
"Yes...you are not qualified!"
Everyone glared at Xiang Yun, and Yan Bao stood among the crowd and looked at Xiang Yun calmly, not as excited as everyone else.
Faced with the excited soldiers, Xiang Yun did not choose to comfort him gently, but instead mocked him with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Haha...you don't think you are cowards, yes, you are not afraid of being beheaded even if you disobey the military order. You are not afraid of confronting Guan like this. You are very brave, but what about leaving this door?"
Xiang Yun pointed to the door of the Dian Ya behind him and said indignantly.
"You will only drink, gamble, and sleep behind this gate all day long. You drive away disasters and avoid disasters, turn a blind eye to the people in the city who are deeply trapped in water and fire, and turn a blind eye to the barbarians who extend their hands to the territory of our Fengyun Kingdom's southern city!"
"You are here all day long, and you have made so many contributions and efforts over the past six months. You have used these merits to numb your cowardice and your fear of the barbarians!"
"But you know that you have become a group of greedy and fearful turtles! A group of uncooked cowards! You don't dare to step out of this door again!"
The noise of the crowd gradually became smaller, but the heavy breathing became louder. Many people clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Although they were angry, they found that they did not dare to look at Xiang Yun's eyes again. It was not fear, but more like shame!
Xiang Yun continued to tell, "I tell you, when I entered the city last night, I met two barbarian soldiers in the south city. In our territory, they collected tolls from the people who left the city. They were unscrupulous in oppressing these people!"
"Later, a mother and daughter who were robbed of money by the barbarians and killed their relatives, but they still did not choose to let them go. They forced the lady away and asked her to sleep with them for a night before letting them go."
"And that little girl is only five or six years old. She is cold and hungry. If her mother is taken away, she will be frostbite in the cold wind outside the city gate for a whole night. The next day, what she is waiting for may be a cold body, and maybe not long after, she will die with her..."
Listening to the story told by Xiang Yun, everyone's heart trembled violently, their bodies unconsciously tensed, and their breathing became rapid!
"How was that mother and daughter in the end?" Someone in the team asked! Immediately everyone turned their attention to Xiang Yun!
Xiang Yun looked at them and answered them in simple words!
"I saved the mother and daughter."
"call……!"
When everyone heard that Xiang Yun saved the mother and daughter, they immediately let out a long sigh!
However, Xiang Yun's eyes suddenly became cold!
"Put your sympathy, because you are not worthy!"
"This..." Everyone was stunned again for a moment.
However, Xiang Yun's expression became more and more contemptuous: "Hmph... I just came to Hucheng on the first day yesterday. The mother and daughter were just the first victims I met. But before I came, wasn't anyone killed?"
"Will there be fewer people like this mother and daughter who are pitiful at first sight? How many men died under the butcher knife of the barbarians, and how many women were humiliated under their crotch!"
"Where are you when they are bullied by barbarians, when they feel desperate and feel that the end of the world is coming?"
Hearing this, everyone felt that their hearts were hit hard with a heavy hammer. Their bodies trembled slightly, their faces began to turn red and hot. The blood in their bodies was so hot that it felt uncomfortable, as if they were scorching from the fire!
At this moment, under Xiang Yun's burning eyes, they finally lowered their originally high heads heavily!
"Yes, I know you have sacrificed a lot, brothers, friends, and yourself, may have walked on the line of life and death countless times, but this is not the reason for us to retreat."
"There are too many people as pitiful as that mother and daughter. They may not be your relatives, your parents, wives and children, but they are also people from this Fengyun Kingdom and your compatriots!"
"Imagine how angry and sad your relatives would be if they were subjected to such persecution? As men of Fengyun Kingdom and the patron saint of the people of the entire Hucheng City, have you given up on them just because of a little fear in your heart?"
"Don't... stop talking!" Finally, a man in the team shouted almost choked! Everyone looked at him!
When the man looked up, his eyes were filled with tears, but his eyes filled with tears were filled with determination and perseverance!
"Captain Wei, stop talking, I am willing to defend the city!" The man shouted firmly, and then he strided forward and came to the front of the team!
"I'll go too!" With a loud shout, Dong Lin stepped without hesitation and came to the man!
"I'll go too! I'll go too!"
For a moment, more and more people said these three words, and more and more people walked out of the team. In the end, almost everyone stood up, and everyone's bodies trembled slightly. It was not fear, but excitement, a kind of excitement that surged with passion!
At this moment, the only person behind the team had not yet stood up, and he was Yan Bao!
Everyone looked back at him, their eyes full of expectations!
Yan Bao slowly raised his head, his face calm, but no one saw him, his fists trembling slightly behind him!
"You are all here, I, the deputy captain, should help lead the team, and I can only follow you." Yan Bao's lips curled up and he also stepped into the ranks of everyone!
Chapter completed!
