Pig Killer

Chapter 211

"No, absolutely not." Huang Zhongchang pointed at himself and said, "Look at us, and then look at the other brothers. Look, who is not sloppy, like a beggar." He looked Zhang Jixian up and down and said, "Look at your hair, which is combed meticulously, and your long sleeves are all tangled. It has been repaired and still maintains its original appearance."

A true aristocrat! Everything he said and did was very precise.

But when Huang Zhongchang saw the fleas jumping on his shiny hair, he shuddered and lowered his eyelids.

"You guys are almost corrupting me." Zhang Jixian said gently.

"This is called when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Don't you feel uncomfortable if you do this every day?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him warmly with clear eyes and said, while picking up a branch and throwing it into the campfire.

"I'm used to it!" Zhang Jixian looked at them tenderly and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore." He looked at them tenderly with eyes that could drip water and said, "What should we do next?"

"Does my eldest brother and the others have any ideas too?" Huang Zhongchang also talked about the future arrangements for Huang Bochang and the others.

"Wow..." Zhang Jixian looked at him in surprise and said, "Does your brother have any ideas?"

"Isn't that so?" Huang Zhongchang said perfunctorily.

It's not that he looks down on his brothers, they really have no rules.

If you really have the idea, your family can't be so poor that you have nothing.

This must be what this 'madam' was thinking again.

"You dare to think of attacking Hezhong Prefecture? Do your elder brother and his men have the troops and weapons?" Zhang Jixian looked at him gently and asked.

"No! They plan to finish farming, organize young and strong people, and train soldiers. Then they will plot against Hezhong Prefecture." Huang Zhongchang said excitedly with flames in his eyes.

"Can we succeed with only simple military training?" Zhang Jixian narrowed his eyes and asked with deep doubt.

"Hey, when the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, all the soldiers were farmers." Huang Zhongchang stretched out his hand to ruffle his greasy hair and said, "They have a lot of strength. Farming is not good without strength." He patted his shoulder and said, "I have great strength."

"Do they have weapons?" Zhang Jixian asked him with a frown.

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang stroked his forehead and asked embarrassedly, "I forgot to ask." He pursed his lips and said, "I'm happy that we have food to eat and don't have to go hungry. Who would want anything else!"

"Forget it, let's ask them tomorrow." Zhang Jixian looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "I hope we can conquer Hezhong Prefecture before winter comes, so that we can have a place to spend the winter."

"Attacking Hezhong Prefecture is a piece of cake. How many garrisons does he have?" Huang Zhongchang said calmly.

"This is a siege." Zhang Jixian looked at him seriously and said, "We can't take it lightly."

"Now the defenses in the city are basically empty, we just need to seize the county governor's office." Huang Zhongchang said simply, "That's not that difficult!"

"The city defenses are weak, but the nobles in the city have their own soldiers, so they cannot be underestimated." Zhang Jixian said seriously with a straight face.

"They are just a bunch of ragtag people, what can they do?" Huang Zhongchang rolled his eyes and said, "If they are really that powerful, we won't be able to escape."

"You..." Zhang Jixian paused and said, "We are not much better. We don't have enough time to train in all aspects of the military."

"They are obedient." Huang Zhongchang said after a long pause.

"Be obedient?" Zhang Jixian looked at him, not quite understanding.

"Submissive! Honestly working on the land, enduring hardships and never complaining." Huang Zhongchang's beautiful peach blossom eyes danced with fire as he said, "I do whatever you ask me to do without any complaints." He pouted and said, "Anyone who stutters will not rebel against the court."

Zhang Jixian pursed his lips tightly, staring at him intently but unable to refute.

"You want to refute me?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his bright peach blossom eyes without blinking and said, "Why do they obey me when I tell you the truth? It's because I brought them all out. That's why they support me. Without them, I'm nothing!"

"Be more polite!" Zhang Jixian said to him with gentle eyes.

"Okay! Don't say rude words." Huang Zhongchang smiled and nodded slightly, "But I am telling the truth."

"As for the government soldiers, they have no fighting power. They just rely on their superiors to bully men and women!" Huang Zhongchang said with contempt, "I have seen it! Once they were beaten, they immediately knelt down."

"We can't take it lightly." Zhang Jixian said seriously.

"Of course." Huang Zhongchang nodded quickly, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's doze off for a while, this time I can have a good rest." He yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy." He closed his eyes and leaned on the thick hay under him.

"I'll take care of the night, Awu, you can rest too!" Zhang Jixian said to him gently.

"Mr. Zhang, you should take a rest first! I'm not sleepy." A Wu looked at him through the flames in front of him and said.

"Okay then!" Zhang Jixian sat cross-legged on the hay, lowered his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His back was still straight.

&*&

"What's that sound?" Huang Zhongchang jumped up.

"It's the crowing of a rooster!" Zhang Jixian looked at him with his bright eyes.

"A chicken crows?" Huang Zhongchang blinked and looked at him and said, "Why don't you shoot it down? Why is it a chicken?"

Zhang Jixian looked at him in astonishment and said, "You must have been confused because of your sleep! These are chickens raised by others, not wild chickens." He strengthened his tone and said, "Brother Huang, we are now in Huangjiazhuang, your home!"

"Oh!" Huang Zhongchang yawned and said incoherently, "I was so sleepy that I forgot we escaped." He stood up and said, "Let's go to the river to wash my face and wake up." As he walked, he said, "I forgot to tell you that I'm going to jump into the river to take a bath at noon today and shave my hair and beard at the same time."

"Ah!" Zhang Jixian looked at him blankly and said, "Shave your head?" He imagined himself and shuddered.

"We have to pick them! Our bodies are covered with lice and fleas. Only by picking them can we get rid of them completely." Huang Zhongchang squatted by the river, scooped up water and washed his face. The water was so cold that he shivered.

"There aren't that many lice-killing drugs in this county." Huang Zhongchang tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said, "It doesn't mean that you won't grow hair after shaving your head." He blinked the tears in his eyes and said, "You still believe that your body and hair are given by your parents and should not be damaged."

"I don't have so many taboos. It's just that it doesn't look good with a bald head." Zhang Jixian said while washing his face.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same for everyone. If you're really not used to it, just find a hat to wear to cover it up." Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with smiling eyes.

"I just shaved my head to get rid of lice and fleas." Zhang Jixian slapped his cheek and rubbed and twisted a flea for a long time, "They are really annoying."

"Haha..." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with amusement and said, "They also suck blood! It's like a mosquito bite, and my whole body is itchy." He snorted and said, "If it weren't for running for my life, I couldn't stand this for a moment."

"Let me tell you something." Huang Zhongchang wiped the water off his face.

"You go ahead." Zhang Jixian stood up and said.

"Let the brothers plow the land for the farmers in the county. We can't eat their food for free!" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with his deep, bright black eyes.

"Plow the land?" Zhang Jixian said as he looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"That's right!" Huang Zhongchang nodded gently, "It shouldn't be like this! We eat their food and wear their clothes. It's just a courtesy. What's wrong with us doing some farm work for them? It's not much!"

"Wearing someone else's?" Zhang Jixian blinked and said, "You are the second brother Huang, so you have the final say."

"Gather the brothers together later. I want to emphasize military discipline again." Huang Zhongchang said in a rare serious tone.

"Military discipline?" Zhang Jixian asked, "What aspect?"

"Don't harass women, don't steal other people's things, and speak politely." Huang Zhongchang said seriously and seriously.

"Harassing a woman?" Zhang Jixian hesitated and said, "No way!"

"You look down on peasant girls because you have high standards and you only see noble ladies." Huang Zhongchang looked at him unhappily and said, "My brothers have been repairing the imperial mausoleum for several years and haven't seen any women. In their eyes, even a sow looks graceful. Who knew that boy couldn't control his lower body and caused trouble for me? Be careful, I will punish him severely according to military law and take his head." He snorted and said, "They took us in with good intentions, and it's too unkind to abuse them like this."

"Okay!" Zhang Jixian nodded in agreement.

"Then go back and tell them to get up, wash up, assemble and emphasize military discipline." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his dark eyes and said very imposingly.

Only after Huang Zhongchang emphasized military discipline did he tell everyone that there was food.

They howled like hungry wolves...

"really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "Just farm the land well."

"Brother Huang doesn't need to say it, we will definitely do our best!"

"I will never betray your trust."

"When can we have dinner?"

"Wait!" Huang Zhongchang caught a glimpse of his elder brother from the corner of his eye and ran over to him and said, "Good morning, elder brother!"

"It's getting late." Huang Bochang looked at his second brother who was very imposing and said, "Call your people and follow me to the barn to get food."

"Hey!" Huang Zhongchang jumped up and down and cheered.

"Jixian, Jixian, I'm going to get some food. You take the brothers to the fields to farm." Huang Zhongchang waved at Zhang Jixian, then turned back to look at Huang Bochang and said, "Brother needs someone to lead him."

"Okay! Call my third and fourth brothers and take them to the fields." Huang Bochang responded cheerfully.

After Huang Zhongchang gave the order, he handed the troops over to his third and fourth brothers.

Huang Zhongchang followed his elder brother and his men to the barn.

Along the way, I saw people working in the fields one after another.
