Chapter 283 The Little Nun 11
Chapter 283 The Little Nun 11
Ling Yi cupped her hands and said perfunctorily, "Master Xu trusts me deeply, so I have nothing to doubt."
I simply think that your rebel army is no good.
Master Xu wasn't particularly angry after being ridiculed by her. Instead, he asked, "Does the young general know the background of my general?"
Ling Yi nodded.
How could I not know?
He came from a bandit background, but unfortunately, he turned his life around and refused to acknowledge his brothers. He was very effective at suppressing bandits in his territory, perfectly illustrating the saying that the rich trample the poor.
"General, you only had twelve men when you went up the mountain and only a hundred when you came down. You were all from humble backgrounds, with no one to rely on, yet you were able to defeat the retainers of the great families and the rebellious generals of the court in this chaotic world. Do you know why, young general?" Master Xu patiently guided him.
Ling Yi offered a half-hearted compliment: "Of course, it's because of the general's wisdom, bravery, and unparalleled combat prowess."
“Wrong.” Master Xu showed no mercy to his general, calmly replying, “Based on the general’s exceptional intuition.”
Ling Yi: "?"
Your feudal army has a bit of theological influence.
How come a group of military generals have started engaging in theological worship?
She was afraid that the next moment these people would cross the ocean and argue with others about who was God's legitimate son, and that if she said that her son was the legitimate son and the other son was the illegitimate son, then the illegitimate son would lose his power when he saw her legitimate son and would have to kneel down.
Ling Yi was bewildered, but Master Xu had no idea what she was doing. She continued, "The general has fought countless battles, both large and small, and has been surrounded countless times. Yet, every time he decides on the direction of the charge, he has never made a mistake."
“If there had been even the slightest mistake, there would be no righteous army today,” Master Xu added.
Ling Yi nodded, continuing to appease the superstitious man: "The general is amazing."
She can do that too; it's no big deal.
"That's only one reason. The second is the generals who came to join you." As he said this, Master Xu's eyes gleamed even brighter: "There are at least eighty or a hundred generals who came to join you. Among them, there are countless treacherous individuals and enemy spies, yet not one of them was able to enter the righteous army."
His general could discern a person's true character with just a glance, and had slaughtered countless people, earning him the reputation of a demon god.
Ling Yi glanced sideways: Really? She didn't believe it.
Are the people in the camp truly without any disloyalty?
Master Xu met that look and chuckled: "It's different. Those people want to harm the general, but these people don't, or they dare not even think about it now."
"Moreover, the general doesn't care what they think. His lifelong wish is to storm the palace, grab the young emperor and his powerful ministers, and ask them if they are human beings, and whether the people of the world are human beings."
"He can endure anything for this purpose."
Xue Zhen went up the mountain to resist taxes, and he was also a stubborn person.
Ten years later, he never forgot the grief and indignation of that day, nor for a moment did he forget his original intention to grab the hem of the court officials and ask them if they knew they were wrong.
As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care about his subordinates' petty thoughts, nor does he care about the so-called factions.
He knew all too well the harm an incompetent ruler could bring to the world, and he knew even more that he was not a qualified ruler, so he did not care about dying after fulfilling his wish.
As for his generals?
Since ancient times, when two armies face each other, only the enemy's head can be beheaded.
It's not that if he doesn't become emperor, his old brothers will just die. The new dynasty will provide them with good food and drink, and they will live a life of wealth and honor, whether for the sake of his soldiers or for the sake of his reputation.
For those old folks who work as blacksmiths and vegetable vendors, this is the best possible future.
If you don't have the ability, don't go around harming the world.
Ling Yi: "..."
Otherwise, she should just run away with her three hundred soldiers. She always felt that this rebel army, starting with its leader, was mentally unstable.
What kind of tragic martyr is this? What kind of angry young man with a distorted thought process?
She glanced at the fifth brother, who was kicking the ground in agitation, and thought that if she rode off on that horse now, no one present could catch her.
"I am telling you all this today not because I am foolish, nor because I like to talk about your foolishness," Master Xu said with a serious expression. "It is because I trust your intuition, and I believe that the person who gave you the horse on your first meeting must have won your favor and is absolutely no threat to you."
Amidst the rising dust, he bowed deeply: "I only ask that if one day the general truly embarks on a path of no return, young general, please remember the kindness of the horse you gave me today and help the general escape to safety."
Ling Yi really didn't know what to say. She wanted to say, "Can you stop being so idealistic?" She also wanted to say, "Let's get scientific." If all else failed, she could say, "Why don't you take the general to get his head checked?"
After thinking it over, all he could do was force a smile and say, "Thank you so much for your trust in me."
This kind of idiotic trust actually turned out to be correct. Where can you even begin to reason with that?
Master Xu smiled and said, "I simply trust the general's intuition."
Moreover, he felt that the general's trust and tolerance were not just because the person in front of him was simple and trustworthy, but also had a deeper meaning.
After all, he had been a strategist for so many years and was still being scolded, but this man was a fierce warrior who had made several sarcastic remarks about the general and ended up driving him away.
Ling Yi was at a loss for words after being told he was a general. She could only say helplessly, "You see the general so clearly, why don't you think about finding a way to protect yourself first?"
The other generals survived, but you, a strategist in charge of the army's logistics, can survive?
This old man had thought things through perfectly, even things that Xue Zhen probably hadn't fully grasped, but he hadn't considered his own future. He didn't seem very smart.
Master Xu mounted his horse and shook the reins: "My parents, wife and children have all passed away. Now I remain in this world with only one thought."
He pointed south, his thin frame revealing a hint of pride: "Ask those nobles living in those golden-tiled, red-walled houses, is their life their life, or is the life of the common people not their life?"
"and then?"
"Xu's knife is not as sharp as the general's, but it can still help him kill the vermin."
Ling Yi: "..."
That's it, we've confirmed that everyone in here is crazy.
She's the only normal person...
Lingyi mounted the fifth horse, stroked its mane, and called out, "Let's go!"
Fine, if she's going to hang out with these people, she'll start acting strangely too!
The soldiers pushed tents and carts, forming a neat, winding line, quietly following behind Ling Yi as she moved forward.
The soldiers who had been dismissed by Master Xu earlier now rode up on horseback and followed, heading towards the camp in the suburbs.
