Pig Killer

Chapter 343

Mr. Zeng turned his eyes and looked at his general and said, "This is the reason why most rebel forces failed miserably. They were born in humble families and were blinded by gold, silver and jewelry. They don't know what to do at all. They only know how to make money and are very satisfied as long as they can grasp the immediate benefits."

"Then Mr. Zeng, let's go back quickly and thank him for saving our lives before the king does." Major General Yu turned his horse around and rushed back to the camp.

Major General Yu asked Yu Luo to wear a generous thank-you gift and go to the camp where Mr. Huang was stationed.

Shen Hui'e looked at the gold, silver, jewelry, and silks in front of her, which were so dazzling.

"Our major general has to observe mourning and is unable to come, so he specially asked me to bring a thank-you gift." Yu Luo bowed and said to the two of them respectfully.

"This gift is too generous!" Huang Zhongchang said politely, "The righteous armies of the world are one family. There is no need for a reason to save people. Everyone will save them. This is what I learned from General Yu. He has saved other princes from danger many times."

When Yu Luo mentioned this, he said with an unpleasant expression, "But when our general was in trouble, not a single one of them came to his aid."

"Maybe this person didn't receive the letter for help!" Huang Zhongchang laughed.

Yu Luo said embarrassedly, "Let's not talk about this." Then he said solemnly, "Please accept it."

"Okay then!" Huang Zhongchang gave in and took it.

Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "When will the funeral be held?"

"The body will be kept for seven days. Three days later." Yu Luo looked at him with sad eyes.

"We don't know the customs here, so we have to ask General Yu for help." Huang Zhongchang bowed and looked at him and said.

"I will arrange someone." Yu Luo looked at them gently and said.

"Thank you in advance." Huang Zhongchang bowed again.

"You guys get busy!" Yu Luo said gently, "I'm leaving now."

"We'll take you there." Huang Zhongchang and his wife sent Yu Luo to the door and watched him leave on horseback.

When Shen Hui'e and Huang Zhongchang returned to the room, they saw their son holding the golden cake in his hand.

"It's strange to give gifts at this time?" The big tiger tossed the golden cake in his hand, "Shouldn't we be here now? It's been several days."

"Tell me why you are giving it to me!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade.

"We should give a thank-you gift." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said.

"They're busy with the funeral!" Shen Hui'e kindly reminded him.

"Just tell your subordinates. You don't need to ask him to come here in person." The big tiger looked at her with his round eyes and said.

"Look, isn't it General Yu who sent it today?" The tiger weighed the golden cake in his hand, "There must be something that happened here that we don't know about."

"What could have happened? You're in such a hurry to send a thank-you gift even though the funeral isn't even over yet." Huang Zhongchang said, his eyes falling on his wife.

"It's hard to say. I'm not a god who can predict the future." Shen Hui'e said, running her index finger across her chin, "Let's see who else comes, and then we'll know what's going on with this thank-you gift."

"Then just wait." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

"Report! Mr. Zhang is here." Tiefeng said excitedly standing at the door.

"Ah! You're finally here." Huang Zhongchang ran out and welcomed Zhang Jixian to the gate.

"You are finally here. I hope you had a smooth journey!" Huang Zhongchang looked him up and down.

"It was a close call, a close call." Zhang Jixian said with lingering fear.

"Where are the others? Are they all safe?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at the cavalry behind them.

"Where are our horses? And the carriage too?" Shen Hui'e asked her comrades, narrowing her eyes slightly. They all looked a little embarrassed.

"I was captured by the government troops and nearly lost my life." Zhang Jixian said nervously, patting his chest.

"Is the person okay? As long as the person is okay, it's good. The horse is gone, it's gone." Shen Hui'e asked again with concern.

"No one is fine! All our people are fine." Zhang Jixian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go, let's talk inside." Huang Zhongchang walked forward and took Zhang Jixian's hand and left.

"Go down and take a shower. Let the kitchen prepare something delicious for you." Shen Hui'e looked at her comrades and said, "Look at how dirty you are. You must have had a hard time on the journey!"

"Can I take a shower?" Zhang Jixian said excitedly.

"There is always hot water in the kitchen." Huang Zhongchang looked at them gently and said.

"Ah! I'll go wash myself too!" Zhang Jixian pointed at himself and said, "I can't see anyone with my appearance now."

"Tie Feng, take Mr. Zhang and the others to take a bath." Huang Zhongchang said, looking at them with his bright black eyes.

"Yes!" Tie Feng clasped his hands together and said with a smile to Zhang Jixian and the others, "Mr. Zhang, please follow me!"

"Our luggage was also stolen." Zhang Jixian said embarrassedly.

"We have new uniforms." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with a smile and said, "Didn't you see that we all changed?" He smiled and said, "The weather is hot, how can we wear sheepskin coats!"

"Then I'll be leaving." Zhang Jisheng bowed to them and left with Tie Feng.

When Zhang Jixian came back, he felt refreshed and said, "I feel like I'm alive again."

"Mr. Zhang, the noodles are ready." Tiefeng came in with a tray and said.

"Come on, come on, eat first. We'll talk after you're full. We have plenty of time." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile upon seeing this.

Tie Feng placed the noodles on the low table. "There are only noodles and seasonal wild vegetables. I guess the pickled vegetables are not very edible at this time of the day."

"As long as it's edible, I'm not picky." Zhang Jixian said with a smile when he heard it.

Huang Zhongchang sat on the ground opposite Zhang Jixian and said, "Just eat, I'll tell you what happened after we separated."

"Okay!" Zhang Jixian said while picking up noodles with chopsticks.

"After separating from you, we rescued General Yu who was besieged by government troops," Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with his distinct black and white eyes.

"Brother, now that you've opened your mouth, I can't eat anymore." Zhang Jixian stopped picking up noodles with his chopsticks.

Huang Zhongchang shook his head and chuckled, "I won't say anything more. Eat your meal and we'll talk after you finish eating."

"How can I eat this?" Zhang Jixian simply put down his chopsticks and said, "Just finish what you're saying!"

"That's simple. Although we saved General Yu, he is still dead." Shen Hui'e said simply.

"The person is dead." Zhang Jixian's jaw almost dropped in shock.

"He was dead. An arrow shot through his lungs. Even gods can't save him." Huang Zhongchang said with deep emotion, "General Yu was a tough guy. He held on until Junior General Yu came with his men. That was the last time the father and son saw each other."

Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, have dinner. Let Dachong's father tell you the details."

"Okay!" Zhang Jixian picked up the noodles and started slurping them. Since he already knew the result, he didn't make a fuss anymore.
