Chapter 51 Hate Deep

"What? Say it again!" After listening to the words of the people, Ye Hao couldn't believe his ears and suddenly bounced up from his seat, and then stared at the face of the Tianzi camp in front of him with a cannibalistic eyes.

It was already dusk at this time. Ye Hao was also very upset because he had never received the news of the people he sent, but he never thought that they would have such a result. In the face of Ye Hao's anger, Shen Zheng, the commander of Tianzi Battalion, had to say succincidently again: "Ye Tao and some brothers of the Dizi Battalion died on the spot because of the sudden attack of the barbarians, and those barbarians were also wiped out by a team of people in the Xuanzi Battalion who rushed to escort food together with the west gate. This is the news I heard from the general. Because it is related to Ye Tao's life and death, I thought of talking to Ye Du.

Ye Hao's eyes almost burst into flames. Are you kidding? His brother and more than 100 people sent out are actually dead? Naturally, it is impossible for him to believe this statement, but in front of Shen Zheng, who is now equivalent to his identity, he can't really have any attacks, so he has to look black and gasp.

Although he can understand the anger of the other party, Ye Hao still makes Shen Zheng a little unhappy because he doesn't take himself seriously. In the past, Ye Hao was the governor. As a subordinate, Shen Zheng treated himself respectfully, and he just regarded himself as a superior. But now the status of the two sides is average. They are just a battalion, and no one is higher than anyone else, but Ye Hao still treats him as a subordinate, which makes Shen Zheng quite dissatisfied.

After waiting with a calm face for a while and didn't see Ye Hao say anything, Shen Zheng finally didn't want to say anything more, so he stood up and hugged Ye Hao and said, "I have something else in my camp. I'm leaving."

Ye Hao was still immersed in pain and anger and did not feel Shen Zheng's unhappiness at all. He just said casually, "Go ahead. If you find out any news, you must remember to report it to me!"

When Shen Zheng heard what he said, his face became darker. Well, he really regarded himself as a subordinate! After a cold snorting, Shen Zheng turned his head and left the camp without responding. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Sun Zaiyuan who came to hear the news. He immediately frowned, but in front of outsiders, he did not dare to persuade him directly, so he had to retreat and salute Shen Zheng as a comfort him.

However, Ye Hao obviously didn't notice Shen Zheng's thoughts. As soon as he saw Sun Zaiyuan coming, he quickly called him over, and then said with a black face, "Zeyuan, do you think this is true?" Until now, he can't accept the fact that his brother and more than 100 cronies have died.

"Since Shen Dutong came to tell you, this should be true!" Sun Zaiyuan replied helplessly.

"Since even Shen Zheng knows about this, why have we been in the dark? That's mine!" Ye Hao said hatefully, "And there must be something wrong with this matter. How could my people kill their own people? And they obviously went to deal with Xu Jinghong, but how did it turn out like this!"

"Naturally, it's because our people have been cleaned up." Sun Zaeyuan smiled bitterly. This is already obvious. They set up a conspiracy to plot Xu Jinghong, so on the other hand, Xu Jinghong can also deal with them. All this is just to see who is smarter and the people in their hands can fight better. As for why things are not known to them until now, naturally, it is because some people don't want them to know.

However, in the face of Ye Hao's anger, Sun Zaiyuan did not dare to speak bluntly and had to say, "Our people should have been hit by Xu Jinghong's plan, which led to the second master and them all suffering..."

"Xu-shock-hong!" At this time, Ye Hao also slowly woke up from the shock and fury just now and had his own judgment. After listening to Sun Zaiyuan's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have time with you!"

He and his younger brother Ye Tao were the only Ye Hao in the Ye family, and he had no children. It turned out that he put all his hopes on Ye Tao. Ye Hao can be said to have done his best for this brother, but in the end he only got such an ending. How can he accept this? At this moment, his hatred for Xu Jinghong has reached the extreme. If he just wanted to kill the other party before, now he is going to smash Xu Jinghong to pieces.

"Come on, beat the drums and gather together!" After an angry cry, Ye Hao finally began to lose his temper: "I'm going to lead the troops myself to exterminate him and his men!" With that, he walked quickly beyond the big account. This scared Sun Zaiyuan next to him. He hurried forward and took Ye Hao's hand and said, "The governor is angry. What's the matter!"

"What, how dare you stop me!" At a glance, Ye Hao's body had a trembling murderous spirit, which made Sun Zaiyuan quickly let go of his hand and retreated several steps before stabilizing. But he still painstakingly advised, "The governor, please think twice. If you really move the soldiers and horses in the camp, everything will be irreparable!" Ye Hao didn't listen to his advice at all. He still strode to the layman. Now there is only one idea in his mind to kill Xu Jinghong.

Seeing that the other party was single-minded, Sun Zaiyuan knew that it would not be done without any strong medicine, so he shouted, "Dushi, you will only win Xu Jinghong's arms by doing this. In that way, he can borrow someone's hand except for you, not to mention revenge for the second master at that time, even you yourself will be broken in!"

This sentence finally had a certain effect, which made Ye Hao's footsteps pause, and then turned his head to Sun Zaiyuan: "What do you mean by this? If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I will kill you now!"

"Captain, if no one supports him, how can a team of 50 people in Xu Jinghong District destroy more than 100 people sent by us? Moreover, the news was also completely blocked. If Shen Dutong hadn't come to tell us, we would still be in the dark. Can this team do it? I'm afraid that someone is manipulating behind this, just to deal with us!"

This is very reasonable. Ye Hao was just blinded by hatred, not a fool. After hearing this, he also began to doubt: "You mean this is completely a trap to lure me to send troops?"

"Yes, the second master was captured by them that day, and General Wang also issued a strict order not to let the soldiers and horses in our battalion go out at will? This ban has not been lifted today, which shows that it was made to cooperate with Xu Jinghong. If Marshal Wang did not intend to help Xu Jinghong, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Now if the governor leads the army to attack Xu Jinghong and others, I'm afraid that he will be immediately designated as a perpetrator of chaos. At that time, General Wang will have a good reason to deal with us..."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Hao's face turned from black to white. Obviously, he has been convinced by Sun Zaiyuan's inference. But he still said with hatred, "Then will I just forget it? Can my second brother die in vain? Mr. Wang, I also have time with you!"

Sun Zaiyuan finally moved Ye Hao when he saw his words, and his heart calmed down a little. Then he said, "Captain, as the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to avenge for ten years. Now the situation is very unfavorable to us, so we should be patient for the time being. As long as we can protect ourselves this time, we will always have a day of revenge, and we think this day will not be too far away.

"Oh? Do you have any basis for this?"

"Of course, now the relationship between us and the barbarians is even more tense. I'm afraid this war is inevitable. As the former commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, the governor will inevitably hold military power at that time. And on that day, is the governor still worried that he can't find a way to deal with Xu Jinghong? Even Wang Chong, as long as the governor has a plan, he will fall into the hands of the governor one day!" Sun Zaiyuan sneered and said, "So the governor should be patient for a while."

After weighing it, Ye Hao had to admit that what Sun Zaiyuan said was right, so he said hatefully, "Well, then I'll let them be free for a few more days. Xu Jinghong, I will definitely make you regret what you have done today and before!"

At the same time, in the camp of the fifth team, the soldiers were in a bad mood because they lost five brothers. Although their bodies were brought back, it was impossible to accompany everyone all the time. Under Xu Jinghong's order, the bodies of the three were buried outside their camp.

After paying tribute to his dead brother, Xu Jinghong took out a thick banknote from his arms, all of which were huge silver tickets with 100 taels of silver. He looked at the brothers who followed him to kill the enemy again and said, "This time it's because of me that I have caused everyone. Most of you are injured, and some of you have lost to the enemy's hands. In addition to saying thank you, the only thing Xu Jinghong can do is to give you this little money..."

The soldiers looked at the large number of silver tickets, and their eyes also showed greed, but no one came forward to get them. After a long time, Geng Zhong said on behalf of everyone, "Team Zheng, you don't treat us as your brothers!" At the beginning, you gave your brothers so many benefits in Yunzhou, and you also promised to live and die together. Although we lost five people this time, we will never regret it!"

"We will never regret it!" Others also hurriedly followed.

Xu Jinghong smiled movedly: "Thank you for your understanding. However, this little money is not all to thank or compensate you, but has other meanings. Wang Du of the ward camp took a fancy to his brothers and wanted to take our whole team into the ward camp. I planned to go there to serve the country, but I don't know how many of you are willing. If you are willing to go, these silver tickets will be used to make up for the money you owed before. If you don't want to go, take some silver as a witness for you and my brother.

"Naturally, we are willing to go to the camp with the team!" The soldiers gave a consistent answer without thinking about it. Because the scout camp is the most elite team in the army, which is the place that every hot-blooded man dreams of joining, just like the special forces of future generations. Now that Wang Junqing can take a fancy to them, it is naturally the best affirmation and encouragement for the soldiers. No one will say no to such a commendation.

Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "Okay! In this case, our brothers will still be good brothers with life and death in the future! However, everyone should also be prepared. Maybe soon we will really go to the battlefield and fight with the enemy with our lives!"
