Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 209 The Arrow
"Brother, is there any benefit to doing hard labor?" asked the third child.

"I'll explain the ins and outs of the matter to you clearly!" Wang Po laughed and said, "This time the labor is to harvest wheat!"

"Harvest the wheat?"

"That's right, but the wheat from the rebellious party is harvested, and it's on the edge of the mountain city!" Wang Hao said in a low voice, "Master Yuan Fei said, we don't need to bring our own rations, we will eat from the public. It can also be counted as military merit, the more harvested, the greater the military merit, and there will be a reward!"

"Military merit? Reward?" The second child and the third child looked at each other, and they both saw greed in each other's eyes. They naturally knew that the best reward was military merit. Master Ji is the grandfather who once made military achievements, and future generations can enjoy it.

"Cutting wheat can also get military merit? Will it be a lie?" The third child was still a little worried.

"Master Yuan took out the document! It's on white linen paper, and there is a big red seal, it's unmistakable!" Wang Hao said in a deep voice, "And if we can cut all the wheat next to Rencun Mountain City, the people of Tang Dynasty will be able to attack the city." It is much easier, how is this not a great military achievement?"

"Will it be very dangerous?" The third child asked, "The guards in the mountain city will definitely come out to stop it. The wheat in the field is their life!"

"Don't be afraid, with the protection of Master Tang Jun, we just need to concentrate on cutting the wheat!" Wang Po said with a confident look, "If we can make military achievements, our family will be the first in this area in the future. Don't fight with our family!"

"Brother, why don't I go this time!" The second child said, "You stay at home and take care of my mother!"

"Nonsense, how could it be my turn to talk to you!" Wang Po glared at the second child, and then his tone became more relaxed: "I know you are worried about me, but your daughter-in-law just showed her belly, is it male or female?" I don't even know, unlike me who already has a concubine, if there is an emergency, you two will take good care of the child and my mother for me!"

"Big brother!"

The second child couldn't help being emotional when he heard his elder brother taking care of him like this. He recalled that the four brothers depended on each other on the mountain, and his eyes were already red: "Brother, let me go, it doesn't matter if it's a girl. Brother, third child If you have a few more children, you can adopt them to me!"

"Shut up!" Wang Po stopped the second child: "The more you talk, the more shameless you are, and you still adopt it. It's not like you will die if you go, and you can talk nonsense like such an unlucky word. I will go this time, and you stay at home and wait for me." The good news is that! Also, don’t be lazy when I’m not at home. After harvesting the wheat, planting autumn grain, repairing houses, fences, and courtyard walls, there are many things to do. I’ll see when I’m back Seeing that you two boys are lazy and delay your work, see if I don't whip your ass!"

"Yes, big brother!" The second and third children nodded with tears in their eyes, and Wang Po smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, let's make a total sum first, choose those people to go, what household items should be prepared on the way, although Master Yuan We don't need to go into battle, but we must prepare bamboo spears, flails, rattan cards, slings and so on, so that we can be prepared for any danger!"

Tang army barracks.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wenzuo exclaimed when he was awakened by Shen Faseng shaking his shoulders. It was still dim outside, and he realized that something was wrong: "Is it Yuan Fei and Sanqiu? What happened?" In the dream, blood Submerging his chin, only three fingers away from his nose, the fishy smell was tangy, and the shadow of death hovered above his head, as if he might pounce down at any time.

"It's not them!" Shen Faseng looked sad: "It's Brother Liu, joining the army, come out and have a look!"

"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo felt that his hair was messy and he was uncomfortable all over: "Bring me my coat, and pour me a glass of water, I'm a little thirsty!" He took the water glass and took a sip before deciding to feel better. After a while, a slight sob was suddenly heard.

"Who is crying outside? Why is he crying!"

"It should be Xiao Gu!" Shen Faseng's face was pale, but he was usually the most talkative, but now he cherished words like gold.Wang Wenzuo stood up, ignoring his shoes, and rushed out of the tent. Before anyone spoke, he knew it was bad news. Wang Wenzuo knew what to say with Yuan Aolie's angry face.

"Is it a Japanese or a Baekje thief?"

"All!"

"How many people died?"

"Thirty-nine died, and at least three times as many were injured!" Gu Cihang rubbed his fingers, "Fifth Brother Liu was also shot by an arrow, and there was poison on the arrow—"

"Go and see Liu Wu first!" Wang Wenzuo interrupted Gu Cihang's narration. At this time, his heart was full of remorse. He should not have agreed to Liu An's invitation to fight. He is a lieutenant general, and the lieutenant general should stay in the camp at this time. Well, it's enough to leave it to Gu Cihang, Shen Faseng and others to collect food. If this is the case, maybe no one will die at all.And when he talked about his life back home, as a soldier, he had become weak, and being weak on the battlefield meant death.

Liu An was lying on a bear skin, and there was an oil lamp on the right side of his head. Under the dim light, his face appeared a lifeless wax. Wang Wenzuo staggered to the bear skin and grabbed him. His right hand is still warm.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother!" Wang Wenzuo's throat seemed to be stuck by something, he choked up and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it wasn't for me—"

"Sanlang, this is the first time you call me Fifth Brother, right?" Liu An opened his eyes, his voice was so weak that Wang Wenzuo could hear clearly, he raised his head in surprise: "These bastards look like this, I thought you had- —, hurry up and call the doctor!" Wang Wenzuo shouted to others.

"It's useless!" Liu An said with a wry smile: "Little Gu has already asked, and the doctor accompanying the army doesn't know what the poison is, and the wound is swollen badly. If I didn't hold my breath and come back to see you, I would have died a long time ago." Already!"

"Where is the wound?" Wang Wenzuo raised his head and asked.

"Just under the ribs!"

Wang Wenzuo pulled the bear skin covering Liu An's body, and a strong stench came to his nostrils. This smell is very familiar to Wang Wenzuo. It is the breath of death, which can only be emitted by people who are only one step away from death. This smell.He resisted the desire to turn his head and looked at the wound. The wound was not big, it was located on the right rib, but the entire rib was black and swollen, and the overflowing pus and blood stained his clothes——

"Liu Wu is the chief general, how could he be shot here?" Wang Wenzuo turned his head and said, "There should be armor here?"

"There is indeed armor, but it was shot through!" Gu Cihang said in a low voice, "If it weren't for the armor, I might have injured my internal organs, and I might not be able to survive back to camp!"

"Tell me about the situation at that time!" Wang Wenzuo suppressed the sadness in his heart. Although he was used to seeing the dead, he was not ready to face the death of his close ones, but there was no place for weakness on the battlefield, and Liu An was already powerless. Speaking, I must immediately figure out the whole situation.
